War is often a political problem can not be a good solution to the sequelae, the late Eastern Han Dynasty in that period of history has never been lacking in war, under the baptism of war there have been many elite talents, these people stood up to redefine the way of war, the people-oriented in it put forward, Zhuge Liang cherished human life in the war is a precedent.
In the war of hegemony between the princes, zhuge liang has always paid attention to a non-toxic husband, and what can Zhuge Liang's practice of cherishing human life gain? In our view of our people today, this is naturally a benevolent practice, which can collect people's hearts for Liu Bei among the people who remained in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is said that this was a fundamental reason for the establishment of the Shu kingdom, and everyone has thought so for thousands of years.
However, there are some selfish ideas that will also say that those soldiers who kill too much in the war basically have no good end in their later years, and the people who lead these big killing wars will be called the god of death or executioners, and the 400,000 elite Bai Qi who killed Zhao Guo in history will eventually commit suicide, and what is the outcome of Zhuge Liang, the embodiment of wisdom and benevolence, in the exhibition of war killing?
Familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, we all know that the Three Kingdoms War has been played out by the group of wise strategists, there are water attacks, fire attacks, wind attacks, various engineering artifacts and single-handed combat between soldiers, Zhuge Liang's favorite is "fire attack", but the end of the fire attack is also different, when he burned 300,000 Cao army, he had no scruples, but when he was burned by the 30,000 vine armor army in the Southern Expedition, he said that it was very broken Yang Shou, what is the matter?
Burning Chibi's unscrupulous Kong Ming
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has several wars with less victories, one is the Battle of Guandu led by Cao Cao in the north, this war really determined Cao Cao's hegemony in the north, no one can compete with him, the second war with fewer victories is the battle of Chibi led by Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu in the south, in comparison, the heroic story left by the Battle of Chibi is more profound in our influence.
The Battle of Chibi was originally cao cao gathering hundreds of thousands of elites in the north to conquer Jingzhou, and by the way, destroying Sun Quan and Liu Bei, who was wandering everywhere in eastern Wu, so that there would be no forces in the whole world that could operate with Cao Cao, and perhaps after Cao Cao's wish was realized, the world would enter a unified state in advance, without the cowardly and incompetent Jin Dynasty behind. Therefore, the Battle of Chibi is known as the most likely unification war in the history of the Three Kingdoms to end the turmoil in the world.
For Cao Cao was a war of unification, for Liu Bei and Sun Quan they were a disaster, in order to preserve their own strength, Liu Bei and Sun Quan united, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang would mentally formulate a fire attack strategy, Zhuge Liang also deliberately borrowed three days and three nights of southeast wind for Zhou Yu, and finally burned 300,000 people of Cao Cao's water division during the Chibi Water Battle, making Cao Cao's dream of unifying the south come to naught.
People here may say that Zhuge Liang at this time is not at all guilty of burning people like this? In fact, this battle is a just battle to protect Liu Bei's Great Han orthodoxy, in Zhuge Liang and Luo Guanzhong's view, protecting the Great Han is the first interest need, and the use of fire against Cao Cao is nothing at all, so at this time Zhuge Liang can talk and laugh when he looks at the burning Chibi.
Nan ZhengMeng was burned by the vine armor soldiers
The story of the burning of 30,000 vine armor soldiers occurred after the establishment of the Shu state, when Liu Bei was killed in battle in the Battle of Yiling, and the military and political power in the Shu state was handed over to Zhuge Liang, who signed a contract with Wu for the continuation of the Shu state and entered a stage of closed development, it was in this stage that the southern barbarian leader Meng Yue launched a rebellion.
Meng Yu was defeated by Zhuge Liang many times but still disobeyed, in order to defeat Zhuge Liang he deliberately borrowed 30,000 vine armor soldiers from the powerful vulture bones among the barbarians at that time, the vine armor soldiers at this time were a special kind of soldier among the barbarians in the southwest, and the armor on their bodies was not the iron armor of the Central Plains soldiers, but a kind of rattan soaked in tung oil, which was light and hard after wearing, and the blade of the Shu army soldiers could not see through this kind of vine armor.
Because the vine armor soldiers were almost in a state of invulnerability, and this vine armor was very light and reduced the weight so that they came and went like the wind, causing great damage to the Shu army, and finally Zhuge Liang combined the flammable characteristics of the vine armor after soaking in tung oil to arrange a fire strategy, and finally Meng won the middle plan, 30,000 vine armor soldiers were burned alive, and most of them did not even retain their personal form.
After the end of the war, the other generals were very happy to finally defeat Meng Huo, but only Zhuge Liang said that he used fire to attack and injure and would definitely damage his own Yangshou, that is because the nature of this war was different, Zhuge Liang's original intention was to recover Nanzhong, these soldiers did not know that they were deceived by Meng, they did not rebel against Shu Han, but in the end they all did the ghosts under the Shu Han fire, Meng Yu was at large, so Zhuge Liang sighed that he would break Yang Shou.
summary
Although the burning of Chibi and the burning of the Tengjia soldiers are said to be fighting to protect the Shu state, the object of defense has changed, the battle of Chibi burned the Cao Army to protect Liu Bei, the lord of benevolence and righteousness, and the burning of the Tengjia soldiers was to protect Liu Chan, who could not be supported, and the difference between them was somewhat contradictory;
Second, because the Cao army burned and plundered in the process of the southern expedition, no evil, burning them is actually to fight violence with violence, for Zhuge Liang will not fold Yang Shou, and the tengjia soldiers in the southwest region are different, they themselves did not do evil, belong to the good people, only because the righteous qi between ignorance and the indigenous people was used by Meng Yu to be the soul of the fire, so Zhuge Liang knew that he would fold Yang Shou.
In fact, in the end, it still depends on how Mr. Luo Guanzhong writes. After all, the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is still the most authoritative author, and no one can say that it is more authoritative than the author, right?
