Foreword: In the long river of history, we often encounter some jaw-dropping characters, whose life experiences and experiences are like a fog and elusive.
Among them, there is a character who used to be Zhang Fei's subordinate, but was promoted by Zhuge Liang and eventually became the general of the Shu Han Dynasty, creating a legend. The story reflects not only the rise of the individual, but also the delicate interweaving of politics and life's adventures.
Today, we'll delve into this unusually promoted general, uncover the mystery of his origins, reveal his past and future, and his key role in the Shu Han Dynasty.
It's a story of opportunity, power, and destiny that will add a touch of color to history.
Can ordinary people take on heavy responsibilities? Zong Pre was once an unknown petty official under Zhang Fei's tent, and if it wasn't for the battle into Sichuan, I'm afraid no one would know his name.
Life is changeable and impermanent, and perhaps it is this uncertainty that has made Zongpre's extraordinary life. When he led the army to stand in the sunset and gaze at the undulating outline of the Shu Mountains, was he also thinking about the unpredictability of life?
Zong Yu was originally just an ordinary person, without a prominent family background, and he couldn't talk about extraordinary talent. However, the wheels of fate turned around him, guiding him on a path unlike any other.
We often say that heroes don't care about their origins; And Zong Pre has grown from an unknown pawn to a model of a general step by step.
In the body of an ordinary person, no one would have foreseen that he would be able to take on the heavy responsibility of defending the country. However, in that battle to march into Sichuan, Zong Pre came to prominence and became famous.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of his ordinary background that he can better understand the suffering of the people; Perhaps, it is precisely because of his early career that he still maintains his sharpness and vitality.
In any case, with his extraordinary understanding and action, Zong Yu gradually became an excellent commander and politician. When he stared at the beautiful figure of Shushan, did he also think in his heart, can a commoner really create a great cause?
Fate has given a clear answer - he is not only able to do it, but must try. And his life is the best reward for fate.
Born from an ordinary background, with great ambitions. With his optimism, perseverance and perseverance, the young Zongqian embarked on the road of becoming a soldier. He was appreciated by Zhang Fei and was able to show his strengths in the position of adjutant under the account.
Although Zongzhuo's parents were ordinary farmers and lived in poverty, he knew how to work hard to reduce the burden on his family since he was a child. At the age of 15, he ran away from home and began a career of wandering.
This experience allowed him to find his direction in life in his dull youth, and he was reborn in Nirvana.
Zong learned to be independent and self-reliant during the difficult years. He worked as a handyman, as a salesman, and as a farmer. However, his ambition and ambition made him unable to settle for this.
Eventually, he chose to join the army and began another chapter of his life. originally thought that he was just cannon fodder in the army, but he was not taken seriously at first. Until he was assigned to Zhang Fei, his fate began to reverse.
Zhang Fei is like fire and likes to be a loyal man. In the long-term relationship, Zhang Fei gradually discovered the characteristics of Zongpre: loyalty, hard work, hard-working, and clear mind.
Zong Yu also went from a pawn to gradually become Zhang Fei's confidant adjutant. This is undoubtedly an important turning point in Zong's life. Perhaps he never thought that he would be promoted and reused; Little did he know that this was just the beginning of his journey to a higher place.
In 214 AD, Liu Bei and Wu broke out in the Battle of Yiling, but they were defeated and forced to flee west into Shu. Zong Pre had followed Liu Bei for many years, and he saw this as a great opportunity to realize Liu Bei's ambitions.
At that time, the Sun-Liu alliance broke down and the Battle of Yiling broke out, and Zong saw that Sun Quan's strength was strong, and Liu Bei was difficult to compete with. Therefore, he advised Liu Bei to go west into Shuzhong, which was like sending charcoal in the snow.
Although Shu is remote and barren, it is a place where Liu Bei can stand on it, where he can develop his strength, and then return east again. After Liu Bei's dismal defeat, he also saw the necessity of westward expansion.
After Liu Bei thought about it carefully, he made up his mind to advance into Shu. In this process, Zong Yu played a key role in every vicious battle of Liu Bei, showing his excellent command skills.
In particular, in the decisive Battle of Irichuan, Zong Pre successfully commanded the army to repel the reinforcements of Eastern Wu, allowing the Shu army to enter Chengdu smoothly. This battle was crucial to the survival of Shu Han.
Although it was Zhuge Liang's responsibility to choose the commander, he recommended Zong Pre to Liu Bei. "The importance of this battle is self-evident, and virtuous generals must be chosen to command. ”
Zhuge Liang suggested. Liu Bei followed his advice and appointed Zong Yu as the governor of the capital, with full responsibility for the command of the battle. For Zong, this was an important turning point in his life, and he finally had the opportunity and stage to show himself.
Zong was determined to turn the danger into a disaster and create a foothold for Liu Bei.
In a fierce battle, Zong's army won a decisive victory, successfully repelling Sun Wu's reinforcements and allowing Shu Han to occupy Chengdu. This arduous battle made him famous in the first battle, and he rose from a small lieutenant to an important general of Shu Han.
This victory also allowed Shu Han to have a territory in the true sense of the word - Shuzhong. Although the land may not be rich, it has given birth to many heroes; Although this territory may not be vast, it bears many legends.
Through his own efforts, Zong Pre opened the door to the empire for Liu Bei, which may be the best interpretation of time, place, and people.
Zhuge Liang discerned talents and promoted the Shu Han genius Zong Pre exceptionally. The battle report of the great victory in Sichuan made Zhuge Liang's eyes shine, it turned out that the little adjutant was able to guide the country among thousands of troops!
Zhuge Liang decided to reuse this sudden talent. After entering Shu, he not only strengthened his power, but also devoted himself to discovering and cultivating talents. At this time, Zong Pre is undoubtedly an outstanding talent in Shu that needs to be promoted.
Because of his outstanding performance, Zhuge Liang unusually promoted him to the rank of general of Zhennan Zhonglang and put him in charge of guarding the newly occupied Nanzhong County. Zongpre is deeply honored by this, which is not only an affirmation of him, but also a new starting point for him.
He vowed to repay Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang for this kindness. Zhuge Liang is known as the cloud eye, can see the subtle knowledge, know people and be good at work. In the Battle of Irikawa, he had already seen the extraordinaryness of Zongpre.
A small lieutenant can command in a treacherous battlefield and win a decisive victory in the momentum of the east and west, which Zhuge Liang greatly appreciated.
Therefore, after learning of Zong's heroic performance, Zhuge Liang immediately took action. He personally appealed to Liu Bei and strongly promoted Zong Pre to serve as the general of Zhennan Zhonglang, responsible for the military management of the newly occupied important places.
This move is obvious, Zhuge Liang intends to reuse Zongpre, let him lead the military force of Nanzhong, and protect the newly opened land of Shu Han. This is not only trust, but also a symbol of the beginning of a new era.
For Zongpre, this is a surprise. He gratefully accepted the opportunity and swore to Zhuge Liang that he would do his duty and live up to Zhuge Liang's kindness.
Zong Yu was a wise and brave general who was highly used by Shu Han. He made many immortal achievements in Nanzhong, not only repeatedly repelling Cao Wei's invasions with his strong military talents, but also showing outstanding talents on the diplomatic battlefield.
He was tolerant of the people and his enemies, and won their love and respect. When dealing with diplomatic affairs with Eastern Wu, he skillfully used his wisdom to resolve a series of crises, making the friendship between Wu and Shu deeper.
These achievements of Zongpre all make people admire and admire him.
Zong Pre has made remarkable achievements in Nanzhong, and he has adopted a policy of gentleness with the concept of "putting the people's will first", which has won the love and support of the people. Not only was he discerning and good at judging timing, but he was also able to stand up in the face of invasions from Sun Wu or Wei, and defeated the enemy many times.
His actions have made Nanzhong a place where the governance is well-governed, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the border defense is stable. Nanzhong was adjacent to Eastern Wu, and Zong Pre took advantage of this geographical advantage to make remarkable achievements in diplomatic occasions, whether it was dealing with Sun Quan's military interference or settling merchant disputes, he was able to handle it with ease.
These political achievements made Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang both look up to him, thinking that he could display his talents in a corner of Nanzhong and build a fairyland on earth. Therefore, Zong Pre became a diplomatic dignitary of Shu Han and sent envoys to Eastern Wu more than ten times.
His low-key behavior and rigorous style gradually impressed the courtiers of Eastern Wu and made great contributions to the repair of Shu and Wu.
The famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty, Zong Pre, went through the pacification of Nanzhong and the resistance of Cao Wei, and made great achievements. During the reign of Wei Yan and Gao Xiang, he was deeply loved by the army with his many years of combat experience, and finally in the winter of the sixth year of Jingyao, he was appointed as the general of the Shuhan Town Army, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country.
At this moment, he was full of emotion, recalling that the petty officials who lived under Zhang Fei's tent back then were now able to command the three armies and become a general who guarded the country, and this tumultuous fate was the epitome of his life.
At the same time, does he also think in the afterglow of the sunset, time is like a dream, fleeting, and 40 years of life are vivid?
Zong's achievements can be called brilliant, and his career has reached its peak. He showed his skills in Nanzhong, pacified the displaced people, and was vigilant against the Northern Wei Dynasty, and made outstanding achievements; During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he played even better and defeated the Wei army many times.
Such military exploits are enough to impress Liu Chan with him - a school captain can be respected by everyone in the three armies! Therefore, in the winter of 263, after consulting with Gu Zong and other ministers, Liu Chan decided to promote Zong Pre to the general of the town army.
This is an important position, which means that Zongfu will become an important person in commanding the three armies and managing the whole force - resisting the enemy, showing off his might, and protecting the country. This kind of trust and glory was unimaginable.
When Zong Pre stood on the top of Shu Mountain and looked back at the past, how would he feel? About 40 years of magnificent career emerged before his eyes. From a small lieutenant, to now carrying the weight of ten thousand armies, he has every opportunity. How can this rough life be easily encountered by people in the world?
Zong's life is a biography full of hardships and glory, and his life experience is not only full of the brilliance of getting ahead, but also condenses the joys and sorrows of ill-fated people. He started as an unknown pawn, and through unremitting efforts and struggles, he eventually became a generation of famous generals.
With extraordinary patience and perseverance, Zong Pre never gave up the pursuit of his dreams, no matter in the face of the blow of fate or his favor. It is this indomitable spirit that has created his eternal and immortal achievements like Shushan.
The fate of Zongfu is also closely linked to this country.
Although the land of Shu Han was not rich, it gave birth to countless loyal courtiers. Shu Han experienced countless difficulties and setbacks on the road to success, which is like Zongpre's life full of ups and downs.
Although on his deathbed, this old minister was still firmly loyal to the country and did not flinch in the slightest. It is difficult to fully show the spirit of Shu Han in the pen and ink of history; The same is true of the legend of Zongpre.
Some spiritual wealth does not need too much ornamentation, it is a monument of eternity in itself. This is loyalty, this is perseverance, and it is also the most profound lesson that the sect has reserved for us.
