Zhuge Liang's legacy can save Shu, but Liu Chan doesn't need it
At the end of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Han faced an existential crisis. At this critical moment, Cao Wei led a three-way crusade against Shu Han, and what made Shu even worse was that the general Jiang Wei made a serious mistake in judging the enemy's situation, resulting in the important Hanzhong of Shu Han being occupied by Cao Wei.
The decline of Shu Han made Jiang Wei and the others retreat to the Sword Pavilion, which was their last line of defense. In order to defend this place, the remaining soldiers of Shu Han went all out to defend the Sword Pavilion with all their might.
The army led by Zhong Hui has been guarding outside the Sword Pavilion, but it has never been able to break through the defense line. As the grain and grass gradually ran out, Zhong Hui's determination to take Shu Han also began to fade, and he finally decided to withdraw his troops.
Deng Ai led the army to advance from the Yinping Ancient Road with a unique marching route, successfully bypassing the Sword Pavilion and reaching Mianzhu in the hinterland of Shu Han. Facing Zhuge father and son who were guarding Mianzhu, Deng Ai's army was easily defeated, occupied Mianzhu, and then advanced all the way to capture Chengdu.
It was a foregone conclusion, Shu Han was powerless to return to the sky, and Liu Chan finally chose to open the city gate and surrender to Cao Wei.
After Liu Chan surrendered to the ancestor Liu Bei and his subordinates, the country he had worked so hard to build collapsed instantly, and Shu Han disappeared from history. In fact, Shu Han could have avoided this catastrophe of annihilation.
Because, Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of the first dynasty, had already pointed out a general for Shu Han before his death, and this person was Huo Yi. However, Liu Chan did not obey Zhuge Liang's edict, so Shu Han also died.
Huo Yi's father, Huo Jun, although he didn't receive much attention in the book, was actually a very capable general. He had followed Liu Biao, but when Liu Biao died of illness, Huo Jun wisely led his army to Liu Bei.
Huo Yi's father and son were loyal to the Liu family Huo Jun followed Liu Bei into Shu with him, and when Liu Bei and Liu Zhang fought for territory, he was sent to guard Jiameng Pass. Some people may think that Liu Bei doesn't trust Huo Jun and wants to get rid of him.
In fact, this is Liu Bei's recognition of Huo Jun's ability and the importance of the geographical location of Jiamengguan. Jiameng Pass is located in Yizhou, which is a key step for Liu Bei to obtain Yizhou, and it is also Liu Bei's retreat.
If this place is lost, Liu Bei will face an extremely dangerous situation. Therefore, Liu Bei sent Huo Jun to guard. Huo Jun did not disappoint Liu Bei, he blocked ten with one, won more with less, and successfully blocked Liu Zhang's reinforcements for a year by adopting guerrilla tactics, providing strong support for Liu Bei.
Huo Yi not only inherited his father's excellent genes, but his talent was not inferior to his father. He is good at defense, like the son of a tiger, and inherits his father's ability to defend the city.
After his father's unfortunate death in battle, Liu Bei valued Huo Yi's talent and adopted him as a righteous son. Later, Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor, and Huo Yi also accompanied Liu Chan and became the prince's housekeeper.
Zhuge Liang was very optimistic about Huo Yi's talent, accepted him as a righteous son, cultivated him with heart, and hoped that he would be able to assist Liu Chan in the future. When Liu Chan inherited the great cause of Shu Han, he was young and talented, and the affairs were mainly presided over by Zhuge Liang.
Under the careful teaching of Zhuge Liang, Huo Yi grew up rapidly and became an outstanding talent who can write and martial arts. He and Zhuge Liang's adopted son tempered together in the prime minister's mansion, and also shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, this experience made him more mature and more aware of social affairs.
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was seriously ill, and left a testament for Liu Chan before his death, speaking highly of Huo Yi's talent. However, Liu Chan did not take this matter to heart, and Huo Yi also switched from assisting Liu Chan to assisting the crown prince Liu Xuan, but he was not disappointed and still served Shu Han wholeheartedly.
As he grew older, Liu Chan sent Huo Yi to the army and held several positions, accumulating a wealth of experience. Cao Wei attacked Shu Han on a large scale, and Huo Yi actively asked for battle, but was rejected by Liu Chan.
Huo Yi did not give up because of this, but decided to secretly return to the capital to help defend Cao Wei. However, his suggestion was again rejected by Liu Chan.
Liu Chan mistakenly thought that Shu Han's defense was stable, and asked Huo Yi not to act easily. However, this mistake led to Shu Han's defeat. Huo Yi has been training abroad for many years, and he also studied in Zhuge Liang's Mansion when he was a teenager, and he has increased his knowledge, and his ability to lead troops to fight may not be inferior to Cao Wei.
However, one mistake can lead to eternal regret.
