Zhuge LiangwithLiu BeiAt the first meeting, they put forward a strategic plan that is known as a classic - Longzhong countermeasures. The purpose of this strategy was to wait for the situation to change in the world, and then send a general to lead itJingzhouThe army attacked Wan and Luo at the same timeLiu BeiLead the Yizhou army to attack Qinchuan in order to gain the support of the people. This seems to be a perfect plan, but it has a fatal weakness - the division of troops thousands of miles away will inevitably lead to the dispersion of forces, so that the advantage of unified combat will be lost. Wei StateAlthough the strength is the strongest, butShu KingdomwithWu GuoIt is also an opponent that should not be underestimated, and the division of troops is bound to weaken the strength of the two places. Sure enough, inShu KingdomBefore preparing to divide the troops into two ways to attack the Central Plains,Jingzhouwas easily captured by Lu Meng, and also implicated the generalGuan Yu
Zhuge LiangThe mistake at this point was that the risk of division of forces was not fully taken into account and that measures were not taken in time to compensate for the lack of military strength. If you can concentrate your forces inJingzhouDefending or forging a closer relationship with Soochow might be better able to protect this vital strategic decisionShu Kingdominterests.
Zhuge LiangInLiu BeiAfter entering the river, he was left behindJingzhou, and at this timeGuan Yubut was stationedJingzhouGuard. This decision was a fatal mistake because:Guan Yu's pride and contempt for the enemy led to his contempt for Soochow, which was not seriously implementedZhuge Liangstrategic approach. Due toGuan YuFailing to recognize the importance of Soochow, he did not actively cooperate with Soochow and did not take the necessary precautions. It is this causeGuan YuThe problem of thinking leads to the wrong decision-making that makesJingzhouIt became the target of Soochow's attack and eventually lost this important territory. At the same time,Guan YuAlso killed under the attack of Soochow, giveShu KingdomHuge losses were caused.
If at the beginningZhuge LiangAble to evaluate correctlyGuan Yuability and character, maybe not to make this mistake. PerhapsJingzhouLost before,Zhuge LiangIt is time to act and willGuan YuTransferJingzhou, or take other protectionJingzhoumeasures to ensureShu KingdomThe site is safe.
At a critical moment,Zhuge LiangHe did not personally participate in the war, but sentMa YanLead the army to guardStreet Kiosk, and he stayed in Qishan to garrison. In this way,Shu Kingdomof the forces were dispersed, from the strong to the weak. However,Ma YanAlthough he had no real combat experience, he was sent to guardStreet KioskThis is a very important location. Due toMa YanPrestige is not enough, and the situation is not in control during the battle, which leadsShu KingdomDefeat in this battle. At the time of the First Northern Expedition,Wei StateThe garrison was weak, and it was a godsend, but with thatStreet Kioskof the loss,Shu KingdomLost this great opportunity.
ForZhuge LiangAt that time, he should have personally commanded the battle, rather than spreading his forces and delegating others to important tasks. Street KioskAfter the battle,Zhuge LiangI also realized this mistake and corrected my mistake. He began to personally participate in the fighting, ensuring that his strategic intentions could be effectively executed. However, many rare opportunities have been lostShu KingdomIn the end, the great cause of reunification could not be realized.
Zhuge LiangResourcefulness excellence,MilitaryTalent is outstanding, but he is not without mistakes. His mistakes were mainly reflected in Longzhong's strategic mistakes, the selection of the wrong generals, and the absence of key battles. These fatal mistakes make:Liu BeiThe failure to accomplish the great cause of reunification also led toShu KingdomDie early. However, it is through these failures and lessons that we are better able to recognizeMilitaryThe importance of strategy, constantly improve one's decision-making ability and command level, so as to achieve greater victories in future wars.
Zhuge LiangAlthough his resourcefulness is breathtaking, he is also a human being and has its limitations and flaws. We should not see him as an omnipotent immortal, but we should learn from his failures. MilitaryDecision-making needs to be comprehensively considered by the actual situation and the overall situation, and individual wit and wisdom cannot be pursued one-sidedly. Only on the basis of unity, cooperation, and correct policy decisions can we achieve greater success on the road of war.
