If it is said that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, who had the weakest foundation, then there is no doubt that Liu Bei established the Shu Han regime, first of all, Liu Bei did not occupy Jingzhou or Sichuan shu for a long time, and did not let his subordinates completely attach, and secondly, this also had a lot to do with Liu Bei's national strength at that time. At that time, Liu Bei's level of generals and population base were not as good as those of Wei and Wu, and the demographic dividend was the most basic foundation of the era of cold weapons warfare at that time.
Liu Bei led an army to attack Wu
Therefore, the State of Shu could not afford to lose the battle to a large extent, and even if Yuan Shao lost miserably in the Battle of Guandu, as long as Yuan Shao did not die of illness, he could still fight two or even three battles with Cao Cao with his own strength. In the same way, the Battle of Chibi was the same, although Cao Cao said that he lost his troops in the Battle of Chibi, Sun Liu's coalition army only saved his own territory through the Battle of Chibi, and the subsequent Xiaoyaojin Zhang Liao's 100,000 troops did not have a very bad impact on Eastern Wu.

On the other hand, Guan Yu of the Shu Han Dynasty had completely lost the possibility of the Northern Expedition once defeated in Jingzhou, and then Liu Bei led an army to attack Eastern Wu, and the defeat of the Shu state in the Battle of Yiling was directly plunged into a situation of internal and external troubles. After all, the forces of Cao Wei and Eastern Wu calculated Guan Yu alone, but if the commander of the Battle of Yiling was replaced by Zhuge Liang, then was there a possibility that Shu Han would win the war?

The commander of the Battle of Yiling was replaced by Zhuge Liang, what were the chances of Shu Han winning?
In Zuo Jian's view, even if the commander of the Battle of Yiling was replaced by Zhuge Liang, there was little chance that he would win, and first of all, Liu Bei would lose his moral foothold in this attack on Wu. Although Liu Bei went to attack Eastern Wu with the revenge of killing his brother, this was a personal vendetta. Cao Pi, who was far away in Xuchang, who usurped the Han Dynasty as emperor, was a national vendetta, and Liu Bei let the national vendetta go unpunished to take care of his own personal vendetta, and had already lost the opportunity in the great righteousness. Then Yiling was in danger, and as long as Liu Bei did not occupy Yiling in Jingzhou, it was very likely that he would be surrounded by the Eastern Wu army, so Liu Bei of Yiling must be captured.

Unfortunately, it was precisely because Yiling was easy to defend and difficult to attack, which led to Liu Bei's army being able to camp for hundreds of miles due to the hot weather, and finally being burned by the army led by Lu Xun. After all, Lu Xun led the army to defend the whole process, and even Liu Bei sent a number of generals to insult Lu Xun before the battle, and Lu Xun was completely unmoved. This is very similar to the scene of Zhuge Liang giving Sima Yi women's clothes during the Northern Expedition, so as long as Lu Xun can't stick to it, then Ren Zhuge Liang's plan to reach the sky is helpless. Therefore, in the view of the left ship, even if the commander of the Battle of Yiling is Zhuge Liang, then the outcome will not change much.

If Zhuge Liang led the Shu army to win the Battle of Yiling, could he finally complete the great cause of reunification?
After Zhuge Liang led the Shu army to win the Battle of Yiling, the best outcome was to retake the six counties of Jingxiang, which meant that the alliance between Eastern Wu and Shu Han was completely dissipated, and in order to avenge the lord of Eastern Wu, Sun Quan, it was likely that he would send an army to join forces with Cao Wei again to attack Liu Bei's forces. After all, at that time, in order to prevent Liu Bei from attacking, Sun Quan had already submitted a surrender table to Cao Wei, indicating that he was willing to be a vassal, and since Liu Bei had bullied him to the head, he would simply break the net with Liu Bei.
Zhuge Liang
Therefore, as long as Zhuge Liang really led his army to win the Battle of Yiling, then it would only be more difficult to complete the great cause of reunification, and a more critical question was, who would defend the entire Jingzhou? Zhao Yun was old enough to have insufficient ability of his own, Liu Bei was definitely going to return to Shuzhong, even if Zhuge Liang was allowed to defend Jingzhou, it would be difficult for Zhuge Liang to hold Jingzhou without a general. Therefore, after taking Jingzhou, Liu Bei and Sun Quan will definitely fight fiercely, and Cao Pi will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman!
