"Reviving the Han Dynasty, returning to the old capital" was the lifelong goal of Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han Dynasty, who was favored by Liu Beisan and vowed to die to restore the Great Han and fulfill the last wish of the former emperor. Therefore, after pacifying the barbarian king Meng, he began the vigorous Northern Expedition. Friends who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms know that after the Battle of Yiling in the Shu Han Dynasty, the national strength was greatly reduced, and Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition also exerted two hundred percent of the momentum, and basically the generals who could be used were sent to the battlefield!
Who were the most important generals used by Zhuge Liang during the Northern Expedition? Ma Dai was unexpected!
Fifth, Zhao Yun
When zhao yun is mentioned, many people think of the "long gun white horse, white-robed general", the fierce general who faced a million Cao troops at Changshanpo and entered and exited seven times. But that was decades ago, when Zhao Yun was already a gray-haired veteran over seventy years old. Of course, in this battle, Zhuge Liang did not want Zhao Yun to participate at the beginning, lest Zhao Yun lose his way and make the Shu army frustrated, after all, he is so old, people are not capable of bones and bones!
However, Zhao Yun did not let Lian Po, and would rather die than hit the vanguard, and if he did not let him, he would crash to death under the steps, and Zhuge Liang had no choice but to let Zhao Yun be the vanguard. With Deng Zhi as a deputy general, the two sent troops to the valley, thinking that they were suspicious soldiers. Zhao Yun lived up to the expectations of the people, and in the Battle of Fengming Mountain, he beheaded five fathers and sons of Han De in a row, killing Xiahou Shu and fleeing.
After Ma Mo lost the street pavilion, Zhao Yun personally broke off and defeated the Cao army's pursuers, allowing him to return to Hanzhong as many as he could, and was deeply weighed by Zhuge Liang. Unfortunately, before the Second Northern Expedition, Zhao Yun died of illness and could no longer share the worries of Zhuge Liang.
Fourth, Ma Dai
Ma Dai was the cousin of Ma Chao, the general of the Five Tigers of the Shu Han Dynasty, and entrusted it to Liu Bei before Ma Chao's death. When Zhuge Liang pacified Meng, Ma Dai went to war with the army and made many meritorious contributions. By the time of the Northern Expedition to Cao Wei, although Ma Dai had not fought against Cao Junli, he had almost become Zhuge Liang's special forces. For example, the Battle of shanggu and the killing of Wei Yanshi were both Ma Dai's secret missions of Zhuge Liang.
At the Battle of the Upper Valley, zhuge Liang arranged for the generals to order Ma Dai to lead an ambush in the upper valley and prepare to burn Sima Yi's plan.
In the original work, it is written: Kong Ming saw that Sima Yi was unwilling to go to war, but secretly ordered Ma Dai to create a wooden fence, dig deep trenches in the camp, and accumulate more dry firewood to attract fire; on the surrounding mountains, more firewood and grass were used to build nests, and mines were ambushed inside and outside.
Third, Wang Ping
Wang Ping can be said to be the most dazzling general of the Shu army in the Northern Expedition. Wang Pingzhi was brave and courageous, and Zhuge Liang knew that Wang Ping was cautious and old, so he asked Wang Ping to assist Ma Mo to guard the strategic street pavilion. Unfortunately, Ma Mo did not follow Zhuge Liang's plan, blindly commanded himself, did not take charge of the village, but stationed the large army on the mountain, and as a result, Sima Yi and Zhang Gao cut off the water source, and the military was in chaos.
Wang Ping led five thousand soldiers to set up a village, and after seeing the rebellion of the Ma Mo army, he immediately led the army to support. He fought dozens of rounds with Cao Wei's famous general Zhang Guo, and finally retreated. Later, he also rescued Wei Yan and others twice to escape from the siege. After the end of Zhuge Liang's First Northern Expedition, Wang Ping was the only military general to be promoted. After that, what seized the food and grass of the Wei army and resisted Cao Wei was not a problem.
Second, Jiang Wei
Jiang Wei, nicknamed "Youlin", was originally a general of Cao Weifang. For repelling Zhao Yun and attacking the Shu army camp at night, he was favored by Zhuge Liang. As the saying goes, "Ginger is still old and spicy", Jiang Wei was soon forced to surrender by Zhuge Liang. Of course, Jiang Wei also admired Zhuge Liang very much and sincerely surrendered. Jiang Wei contributed to Zhuge Liang many times, and became the second person to consult with Zhuge Liang after Ma Mo.
Jiang Weixian counter-planned, although he did not kill the Wei general Cao Zhen, but also killed the former general Fei Yao, which was also a great achievement. Later, he and Jiang Wei were the same pioneers and went out on many expeditions. When Zhuge Liang was critically ill, it was also After Jiang Wei led the army to break, he used the statue of Xiang Xiang to scare Sima Yi back.
First, Wei Yan
In addition to the Five Tiger Generals, the Shu Han Had the highest seniority in combat strength was the general Wei Yan. Zhuge Liang began the Northern Expedition in 228 AD, at this time only Zhao Yun was left with the Five Tiger Generals, and after the Second Northern Expedition, the only one left for the Shu army to be the vanguard general was Wei Yan.
Wei Yan was brave and good at war, and had repeatedly offered the "Meridian Valley Miracle", although it was not adopted by Zhuge Liang, it also showed that Wei Yan was a brave and strategic general. After that, Zhuge Liang repeatedly ordered Wei Yan and Jiang Wei to be the vanguard and attack the city and pull out the first person of the Shu army.
In addition to the above few people, such as Wu Ban, Wu Yi, Gao Xiang, Liao Hua, Zhang Yi and others, the performance is also very outstanding. It can be said that these generals still tried their best for the Northern Expedition, and they all had a determination to be loyal to the Han Dynasty!
