**Wan Fan Incentive Plan To put it bluntly, in that place of Shu Han, whoever gets Wolong, he can't unify the Three Kingdoms!
Is this a problem with the lack of strategists? This is simply a problem of lack of people and money.
You must know that Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan five times (regardless of how many times he did), and he played once and once in the middle, and even some of them were played continuously.
You also need to know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had accumulated a family foundation for 70 years, what was his family background before he started with the Xiongnu?
There was so much grain in the official warehouse that it could not be put down, and the rope wearing five baht coins in the treasury was directly rotten.
In order to make money, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pioneered the title buying and selling system, and subdivided the title and sold it one by one, which can be regarded as a model for selling officials in ancient times.
In order to make money, all the cast iron, boiled salt, and coinage were nationalized, and that's it, in the end, it was "halved" in the history books, and finally forced our generation of male lords to make an edict to end the pursuit and fierce attack on the Xiongnu.
Let's look at Zhuge Liang again, the Shu Han who took over had just been defeated by Liu Bei in the Battle of Yiling, and his family was so poor that he had to deal with Nanzhong and Cao Wei, just with a huge Yizhou land?
Let's take a look at how many things Zhuge Liang has to do in the eleven years after Liu Bei's death!
In 224, Liu Bei just died, Nanzhong rebelled, Zhuge Liang could only sigh at the chaos, because he had no family background to quell the rebellion, but to put it nicely, it was the death of the first master, and it was not suitable to use soldiers.
In 225, the southern expedition to Nanzhong, seven captures of Meng, lasted one year, and won a big victory.
In the spring of 228, the Northern Expedition failed due to the loss of the street pavilion and the lack of grain and grass.
In the spring of 229, the Northern Expedition took the two counties of Yinping, the capital of Wu, and won.
In the middle, he took a year off and raised soldiers in Tuntian.
In the autumn of 230, Cao Wei took the initiative to attack, but Zhuge Liang refused, and encountered heavy rain for thirty consecutive days, and Cao Wei retreated.
In the same year, Zhuge Liang ordered the cofferdam to capture Qiangzhong and won.
In February 231, Zhuge Liang attacked Qishan, but Sima Yi refused, and the Shu army won first and then lost, and then withdrew due to lack of food and grass.
In 232, he took a truce to persuade the peasants to continue to prepare for war.
In the winter of 233, he gathered troops at the mouth of the valley to prepare for the Northern Expedition.
In February 234, Zhuge Liang's last northern expedition fought a war of attrition with the Wei army led by Sima Yi in Wuzhangyuan, and the Wei army could not hold out.
This time, Zhuge Liang even called Sun Quan next door. Sun Quan commanded 100,000 troops to besiege Hefei New Town, and Tian Yu, the defender of the new city, rejected it, frightening Cao Cao's grandson Cao Rong to drive the expedition in person, and before the people arrived, the Wu army withdrew.
In August, Zhuge Liang died of illness.
An uneasy picture.
From Liu Bei's death in 223 to Zhuge Liang's death in 334, in the past eleven years, Shu Han was either at war, or on the way to war, full of battles, only five years to recuperate, and what is suffocating is that the purpose of recuperation is still for the Northern Expedition!
Who can stand it?
According to the records of the Book of Jin and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, in the first year of Zhangwu, that is, in 220 AD, the registered population of Shu Han was 200,000 households and 900,000 people, and by the time of the fall of Shu Han (263), the registered population was 1,082,000.
Book of Jin, Volume 14: In the first year of Liu Bei Zhangwu, he was also named after the feudal kings of the county, or Yaocaijia, and was not issued by the inspection of the land. His household was 200,900,000.
In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei's population was 660,000 households and 4.43 million people.
Literature General Examination Volume 10: Wei Wu according to the Central Plains, Liu Bei cut Bashu, Sun Quan owned the land of Jiangdong, the Three Kingdoms were established, and the war was endless. Wei's household was 663,423 and 4,432,881.
You don't have to discuss whether there are displaced people and local heroes and hidden populations, because the registered population is the population base that provides taxes, and no matter how many people you have and hidden populations, it is actually not of much use to Shu Han.
Because of the outcasts and the powerful hiding population, he does not pay taxes.
In terms of area, Cao Wei sits on almost the entire north of the Yangtze River, the North China Plain, the Shanxi Plateau, the Shandong Hills, the Guanzhong Plain, and the eastern and western regions of Liaodong, covering an area of more than 4 million square kilometers.
In fact, Shu Han only has one Yizhou and a Nanzhong where birds don't, and the core agricultural base is the Bashu Plain.
Those who get Bashu win the world, this is actually not entirely true.
At the beginning, the Qin State relied on the rich land of Bashu as a logistical support to defeat the Six Kingdoms, because the Six Kingdoms were six scattered countries, not a unified whole. Just take one out, can you follow the Qin State that occupies the two major plains of Bashu and Guanzhong?
Now Shu Han, who also occupies the land of Bashu, is facing a Cao Wei who occupies the entire north, so can it be the same?
The North China Plain, the Guanzhong Plain, which is not a mature agricultural base for hundreds of years? Which one is not in Cao Wei's womb?
The comparison of the economic and demographic strength of the two sides is completely not on the same level, so from the perspective of frequent tactical attacks, of course, the party with a thin family background suffers losses.
But the desperate thing is that there are more than four million people on the other side, and you have less than a million.
Regarding Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition to the best of Shu Han's ability, Cao Wei's reaction was only to send a governor to command the Western Military Region.
* Can you use the power of the whole country?
Let's not look at it purely from the perspective of Shu Han, I feel that every Northern Expedition seems to be a victory after a loss.
You must know that even if the Northern Expedition goes out of Qishan, it is still about the central and eastern regions, who can guarantee that everything will go smoothly? At that time, how far the logistics of the Shu army can be supported will be another matter.
We also have to know that there are still three generals like General Xizheng in Cao Wei!
Didn't the other general area of the Eastern Expedition also pinn the Eastern Wu to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River?
Therefore, it seems that out of Qishan is victorious, but in fact, even if it is out of Qishan, the real Northern Expedition has just begun.
And the first goal that Zhuge Liang tried his best to achieve was actually just to get out of Qishan and take Guanzhong as a base. Regrettably, this first goal has not been achieved, so how can we talk about reunifying China?
Don't forget that there is a Dongwu next to it, people have always advocated balance of power, and what they want is the Three Kingdoms, even if our Mr. Kong Ming, after a catastrophe, hit Qishan, and can't protect the Dongwu people to stab him in the back again.
After all, they have a criminal record in this matter, and the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion is not planted in their hands like this.
So, what is the ** that Shu Han lacks is Mr. Wolong? What it lacks most at the moment is not military talents, but recuperating talents like Xiao He and Cao Shen.
It is said that although Zhuge Liang is also an excellent minister of governance, but the hat given by the ancestor is too big and heavy, and the historical mission of going north out of Qishan and reviving the Han dynasty has pressed our Mr. Kong Ming to have enough time to cultivate obscurity.
Besides, didn't Zhuge Liang himself say it in Longzhong:
When there is a change in the world, he will order a general to send Jingzhou's troops to Wanluo.
It's just that his lofty and heavy sense of mission made him not realize that the real only way out for Shu Han, although it seems slim, is about that.
It's not that Mr. Wolong can't do it, it's really that the cards in his hand are too difficult to play.
