In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wolong Zhuge Kongming is clever, wise, and close to the demon, and he has done his best to die. Why did he die suddenly on the road of the Northern Expedition? From Chengdu to Chang'an, why did Zhuge Liang go all his life? And what about Zhuge Kongming's intelligence in the official history? Let's take a look at them one by one.
Zhuge Liang, the word Kongming, Langya people's clan, one of the three heroes has a brother Zhuge Jin, the highest general of Wu Guoda, a younger brother Zhuge Jun, the highest captain of Changshui, Zhuge is also a famous family in Langya.
When Zhuge Liang was eight years old, because his father died of illness, he had to take his younger brother Zhuge Jun to move to Jingzhou with his uncle Zhuge Xuan. At this time, the world was in turmoil, the warlords were fighting, and the people were struggling to make a living, but Jingzhou did not suffer the impact of war under Liu Biao's rule. After the death of his uncle Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Mr. Wolonglong, the name of Wollongong, outside Xiangyang City, comparing himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi.
When Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye, he visited celebrities, so Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui recommended Wolong and Phoenix Chicks to Liu Bei, and later Xu Shu also recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, Liu Bei couldn't help but be curious about this Mr. Wolong, so he personally went to Longzhong to visit Zhuge Liang, and the famous Sangu Thatched House in history came from here. In Liu Bei is nearly half a hundred years old, repeatedly defeated and repeatedly defeated, Zhuge Liang put forward the famous Longzhong pair, Liu Bei thought so, immediately asked Zhuge Liang out of the mountain, everything to ask him, Zhuge Liang was 27 years old.
Zhuge Liang told in Longzhong that the strategic location of Jingzhou was extremely important, but its lord could not defend it. Soon, Liu Biao died of illness, Cao Cao sent troops to the south, Liu Zong surrendered directly to Cao Cao, and got Jingzhou without much effort. Due to the suddenness of the incident, Cao Cao was already close at hand, at this critical moment, Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Bei attack Liu Zong to take Jingzhou, but Liu Bei refused, so under Cao Cao's pursuit, Liu Bei and others came to a thrilling adventure. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the popular seven in and seven out, and its people crossing the river, all come from here. It is worth mentioning that Zhuge Liang's friend Xu Shu also left Liu Bei because his mother was captured by Cao Jun when he fled. At this time, it was the time when the teacher table said that he was entrusted with the defeated army, and he was ordered to be in danger. Zhuge Liang crossed the river to subdue Sun Quan, and united with Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao, and the Battle of Chibi was about to begin. Although Cao Cao claimed to have an army of 800,000 and was huge, the actual strength was far from so many, and the soldiers were mostly northerners, and the water and soil were not adapted, and the newly attached Jingzhou army had their own ghosts, under the fire attack of Zhou Yu and Huang Gai, Cao Cao was defeated and fell short, leaving the seven counties of Jingzhou and becoming the spoils of war for Sun and Liu. Liu Bei took the four counties of Lingling, Wuling, Guiyang, and Changsha, and entered the southern county from Eastern Wu, plus all the Jiangxia counties owned by Liu Qi, Liu Bei took most of Jingzhou. However, Nanyang County and Xiangyang County, the most populous counties in Jingzhou, were always controlled by Cao Cao, and the trend of the Three Kingdoms took shape. Liu Bei was able to go from repeated defeats to compete with Sun Quan and Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang contributed a lot, if there was no for his Longzhong pair and clever calculations, then Liu Bei would not know how many times he would have failed.
In 211 AD, Liu was invited by Liu Zhang to enter Yizhou to help Liu Zhang attack Zhang Lu, while Zhuge Liang stayed in Jingzhou. Soon after, Liu Zhang found out that Zhang Song was secretly in love with Liu Bei and killed Zhang Song. During Liu Bei's return to attack Chengdu, Feng Xiaopang died, and Zhuge Liang led Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun into Sichuan, leaving Guan Yu to guard Jingdu. In 214 AD, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang joined forces to besiege Chengdu, and Liu Bei was forced to open the city and surrender to Liu Bei. So far, the first step has been completed.
In the subsequent battle of Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang sat in Chengdu, dispatched in the center, guaranteed the grain and soldiers of the Later Qin in the front, and ensured the stability of the rear, so that Liu Bei had enough confidence to defeat Cao Cao, take Hanzhong, and call the king of Hanzhong. During this period, Sun Quan was dissatisfied with Liu Bei's failure to return to Jingzhou for a long time, and sent Lü Meng to attack. Liu Bei assigned Jiangxia County, Guiyang County, and Changsha County to Sun Quan, and did not let the rear ** for the time being. However, Sun Quan was not satisfied with this. Soon, Guan Yu attacked Fancheng and pointed his sword at Xuchang. At such a critical moment, Lü Meng crossed the river in white clothes, and the troops came to Jiangling City, Fu Shiren Mifang opened the city and surrendered, Jingzhou changed hands, Guan Yu suffered the enemy on his back, and was finally killed by Lü Meng's subordinate Pan Zhang. The news came, Liu Beibei was betrayed by the enemy, it was a break with Sun Quan, and soon there was news that Cao Cao died and Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, and Zhuge Geliang persuaded Liu Bei to be the emperor.
In 221 A.D., Liu Bei was the emperor, and the emperor was named the Great Han, known as the Shu Han in history. Zhuge Liang was named prime minister and entered the Shangshu clan. Soon, Zhang Fei was also killed by his subordinates Zhang Da and Fan Jiang, and these two fled to Sun Quan with Zhang Fei. New hatred and old hatred are added together, Liu Bei is extremely angry, and Zhuge Liang is powerless.
In 222 AD, Liu Bei suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Yiling, retreated to the White Emperor City, and entrusted his son Liu Chan to Zhuge Liang on his deathbed. If this son can be supplemented, if he is not talented, he can take it himself. After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang opened the mansion to govern affairs, no matter how big or small, and did it himself, personally quelled the rebellion in Nanzhong internally, reconciled with Eastern Wu externally, and then put the Northern Expedition plan on the agenda.
In 227 AD, Zhuge Liang sent troops to the Northern Expedition for the first time, left a list of divisions, and the general Cao Zhen fought in Nan'an, Anding County returned to Shu, Zhuge Liang won the division, shook the Wei State, made Cao Pi sit in Chang'an, and then sent Zhang He to rescue, Zhuge Liang sent Ma Tan to garrison, thinking that Ma Tan was defeated by Zhang He, threatening the rear, so that Zhuge Liang had to give up the three counties, withdraw to Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang depreciated himself, and was demoted to the right general.
In 229 AD, Zhuge Liang seized Wudu and Yinping two counties, and was re-promoted to prime minister, that is, in this year, Sun Quan was proclaimed emperor, and the situation of the Three Kingdoms was officially formed. Two years later, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan again, using wooden oxen and horses to transport grain, at this time Cao Zhen was seriously ill, Sima Yi faced Zhuge Liang's attack, fortified the wall, and defended without fighting, and finally Zhuge Liang withdrew because of the soldiers' food. In the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years later, there are still difficulties in Shu Road, and it is difficult to talk about the blue sky, let alone the Three Kingdoms era. Insufficient logistics and difficulties in transporting grain were a major problem that plagued Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. At the end, Zhuge Liang spent three years training his troops to prepare for the next Northern Expedition.
In 234 AD, Zhuge Liang sent troops to the Northern Expedition for the last time, stationed troops in Wuzhang Yuan, the two sides confronted Baizhong, Zhuge Liang sent people to challenge many times, and Sima Yi could not hold out, and finally Zhuge Liang died of illness in the army, at the age of 54, buried in Dingjun Mountain.
