Zhuge Liang, a generation of famous ministers, is actually the glory of the ancient Chinese, his far-reaching wisdom and wise decision-making, has long been remembered by hundreds of millions of Chinese sons and daughters. He devoted his life to the last moment of his life, and became a model for the behavior of his countrymen. However, when we look through the long scrolls of history, especially the annals that record the events of the Three Kingdoms, it is not difficult to find that the life of this wise man is also accompanied by some regrets.
One is the pain of his early bereavement. Zhuge Liang lost the protection of his parents since he was a child, and had to live in his uncle's house. Children with parents are pampered like treasures, while children without parents are as lonely as weeds. Zhuge Liang in his childhood never received the love of his parents, which may be his biggest regret in the early days of his life.
Second, his lofty ambitions are often not understood by the world. Zhuge Liang was ambitious and indifferent to fame and fortune, but people at that time found it difficult to understand his ambitions. He often compares himself with the famous generals Guan Zhong and Le Yi in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, intending to show that he has the talent to enter the prime minister. It's a pity that many people at the time regarded it as an exaggeration and were not optimistic about him.
Third, the separation between brothers is also a pain in his heart. Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin left home early to make a living and went to work for Sun Ce in Eastern Wu. Sun Ce is good at recognizing and employing people, and Zhuge Jin is also a talented person, but the two brothers gather less and leave more, and it is difficult to see each other. Zhuge Liang had no relatives and no reason, and this parting added to the loneliness in his heart.
Fourth, his wife's appearance is not outstanding. Some people may say that this is what makes Zhuge Liang different. However, everyone has a love for beauty, and if it weren't for Zhuge Liang's ambition and expectation of making a difference in the future, he might also choose a wife with outstanding appearance. After all, a good face always brings pleasure.
Fifth, the relationship with Liu Biao is also the confusion in Zhuge Liang's heart. Liu Biao was originally the uncle of Zhuge Liang's wife, and the two should be close. However, after Zhuge Liang got married, he found out that Liu Biao was not the wise master he imagined, which made him feel disappointed and painful in the relationship.
Sixth, his misjudgment of Liu Bei is also a big regret. Zhuge Liang had already heard of Liu Bei's name in his early years and thought he was a great figure. However, after dating Liu Bei, he found that Liu Bei was not the hero he imagined and had many shortcomings. However, at this time, he had already boarded Liu Bei's ship, and it was difficult to get out. He could only follow Liu Bei with all his heart, after all, his actions of looking at the thatched house had made Liu Bei a model for reusing talents.
Seventh, the constraints of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also made Zhuge Liang feel helpless. If he wants to achieve his ambitions, he can't avoid them. However, they often thwarted Zhuge Liang's plans. Although Zhuge Liang is good at reconciling contradictions, it often to no avail. In the end, Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and destroyed Zhuge Liang's great cause.
Eighth, the relationship with Liu Bei is not perfect. Although the history books praise Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei as a model of the relationship between monarchs and ministers, Zhuge Liang took Li Yan as his deputy before his death, which shows his distrust of himself. In addition, the romance also depicts him holding Zhao Yun's hand before he died, implying that he was wary of his son, which also reflects the delicate relationship between the two.
Ninth, the encounter with Wei Yan also made Zhuge Liang feel complicated. Wei Yan's bravery, skill, warfare and strategy saved Zhuge Liang a lot of trouble in the post-Three Kingdoms era. However, in the end, Wei Yan was calculated by Zhuge Liang, which made Zhuge Liang bear the reputation of being a small family because of Wei Yan.
Tenth, the failure to unify the Central Plains is also a regret in Zhuge Liang's heart. His Northern Expedition was destined to be bumpy, not only because he met a powerful opponent Sima Yi, but also because Zhuge Liang's troops and tactics were insufficient at that time. When the two powerhouses met, it should have been a wonderful showdown, but Zhuge Liang had to withdraw from the battlefield due to physical reasons, which made people feel extremely regretful.
"Die before leaving the school, and the hero will be full of tears. Although Zhuge Liang is a hero, he also has many regrets. Perhaps it is these regrets that make him a big hero in people's hearts. In this country where there is no shortage of heroes, it is precisely because of the existence of Zhuge Liang and others that our national history is more dazzling.
