Chapter 162 Can Zhuge Liang do it?

[During the Three Kingdoms period, the political situation was turbulent, the rulers were incompetent, the nobles fought against each other, the common people were in dire straits, class conflicts continued to escalate, and land resources were polarized.

In order to achieve unification and quell the war, Zhuge Liang went out of the mountain under Liu Bei's Sangu thatched cottage.

He then spent his entire life working towards this goal.

Judging from the situation of the Three Kingdoms at that time, Cao Cao was powerful, with millions of soldiers, and "took the emperor to order the princes", Liu Beifang's strength was simply unable to compete with him. 】

[In this regard, the great man once commented: "In all wars, the most important thing for both the enemy and us is the initiative of the war. This initiative means the freedom of the army. Once the initiative is lost, the army will Without liberty, there is the danger of being defeated and wiped out."

Zhuge Liang obviously thought the same way, otherwise he would not have always adopted an active offensive strategy.

But unfortunately, Zhuge Liang failed to achieve his strategic goal after all.

However, this does not mean that Zhuge Liang is useless in military affairs. On the contrary, his strategic planning and strategic propositions are all correct, but due to various reasons, he failed to achieve the goal of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains in the end. 】

[The words are divided into two parts, let's continue to talk about Liu Bei's entry into Shu. 】

[Liu Bei's attack on Xichuan at the beginning was actually not smooth.

Although Liu Bei had a top strategist like Fengchu Pang Tong, Liu Bei's army was blocked at Jiameng Pass first, then suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Luocheng, and finally lost his strategist Pang Tong.

It can be said that Liu Bei's first entry into Shu ended in failure.

At this critical moment when Liu Bei was unable to advance or retreat, Zhuge Liang, who stayed behind in Jingxiang, personally led his army into Shu to help in the battle.

He successively defeated Liu Zhang's generals Liu Gui, Ling Bao, Zhang Ren, Deng Xian, and Wu Yi, and then forced Liu Zhang to surrender, making Yizhou completely under Liu Bei's hands.

It can be said that without Zhuge Liang leading the army into Shu, not only would Liu Bei not be able to pacify Yizhou, he would probably be trapped to death by Liu Zhang in the unfamiliar Xishu. 】

[But everything has two sides. Pang Tong's death, and Zhuge Liang's entry into Shu also planted the seeds of disaster for the loss of Jingzhou in the future.

Because without Zhuge Liang’s supervision, Guan Yu really dared to be proud of the sky]

Guan Yu: "."

Although he really wanted to refute, Guan Yu couldn't say a word.

After all, without Zhuge Liang by his side, Guan Yu really went to Jiewa.
Zhuge Liang in the beam of light sighed and said with a wry smile: "I also know this problem, but at that time, who else can turn the tide except me?"

"This is indeed a dilemma. Zhuge Liang can only gamble. Betting on Guan Yu will not cause any serious problems." Wang Meng couldn't help sighing when he said this, and said, "Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang lost the bet."

[After the capture of Chengdu, Zhuge Liang was appointed as the general of the army and took charge of the affairs of the left general.

Whenever Liu Bei sent troops to conquer, Zhuge Liang would be in charge of guarding Chengdu and providing enough food and soldiers for Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang governed the land of Shu, advocating severe punishments and strict laws. At the beginning, there were still many people who had resentment against Zhuge Liang.

Fazheng also quoted to Zhuge Liang the story of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty who abolished the harsh laws of the Qin Dynasty after he entered Guanzhong, and agreed to three chapters of the law, hoping to be tolerant of governance, but Zhuge Liang believed that Fazheng only knew one thing and did not know the other.

Zhuge Liang believes that the current situation is different from the end of Qin Dynasty. Liu Zhang is incompetent. Since he took power in Shu, he has not enacted effective laws, and he has not practiced moral government, and there has been no threat of punishment.

The big clans in the Shu region are full of power, and the way of monarchs and ministers is gradually replaced by the monopoly of the big clans.

He implemented severe punishments and laws to correct this political situation.

Later, the land of Shu took on a new look under Zhuge Liang's governance, which just proved that Zhuge Liang had very unique insights in governing the country, as well as beneficial governance methods.

[In October of the 22nd year of Jian'an (217), Cao Cao invaded Hanzhong in the south after pacifying the warlords in Guanzhong.

The Battle of Hanzhong ended with Liu Bei's victory.

In July, Liu Bei proclaimed himself King of Hanzhong.

So far, Liu's forces have fully realized the strategic goal of "struggling and benefiting across borders" formulated by Zhuge Liang in the "Longzhong Countermeasures".

It also made Liu Bei, who was originally the weakest in the game, become a powerful force not weaker than Cao Wei in one fell swoop!
If there is no accident, Liu's group only needs to rest and recuperate for a few more years, and when they have enough troops and food, they can unite with Sun Quan and go out from Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou to attack the Central Plains and recover the Han Dynasty. 】

"So, if there are no accidents, accidents will come"

"Guan Yu is the biggest accident!"

"It's a pity, just after Zhuge Liang's strategic plan succeeded, Guan Yu made him careless and lost Jingzhou."

"The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. If Jingzhou is still there, the Northern Expedition of Shu Han will not be so difficult."

At this point in the video, Guan Yu felt even more ashamed, "I ruined the future of the Shu Han. I'm sorry for Brother, I'm sorry for Kong Ming."

"It's a pity that I can be reborn, but I can't go back to before attacking Fancheng. Otherwise, no matter what I say, I won't open my back to Lu Meng and Sun Quan."

[The fourth major achievement: assisting to proclaim the emperor and continuing the Han Dynasty.

In the first year of Yankang, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty (220 A.D.), Cao Cao passed away, and Cao Wei Group was already in charge of Cao Pi.

At this time, Cao Pi chose to usurp the Han Dynasty and establish himself as emperor, driving Han Xiandi from power, and the Eastern Han Dynasty ended. 】

"Is this how my big man died?"

"No, isn't there another Liu Bei, the big man hasn't completely fallen yet!"

"It seems that the Shu Han didn't hold on for long in the end, and I fell down so aggrieved, alas."

[In the second year of Wei Huangchu, AD 221, there was news that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was murdered.

As the only surviving Western Shu regime in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei will undoubtedly proclaim himself emperor and continue the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei was already the king of Hanzhong at this time, and he was a little worried that if he proclaimed emperor rashly, it would arouse people's doubts.

Therefore, although the ministers repeatedly remonstrated, Liu Bei was still hesitant.

And at this time, Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei with the story of Geng Chun's lobbying for Liu Xiu's ascension to the throne, so Liu Bei agreed to become emperor and established his capital in Chengdu. 】

Liu Xiu was suddenly mentioned by Su Qian, and he was still playing the role of a "model" lobbying for enthronement. He still felt a little strange in his heart.

[After the establishment of the Shu Han, Zhuge Liang enacted severe punishment laws, vigorously rectified Shu, abided by the etiquette system, restrained officials, exercised power cautiously, was open and honest with people, and made Shu central a great rule.

Especially in the Hanzhong area, which has been suffering from wars for many years, Zhuge Liang vigorously developed production according to local conditions. The common people "live in peace and enjoy their work".

Only when the economy and people's livelihood have been developed can the military be vigorously developed.

Zhuge Liang drilled the army, improved the Liannu, deduced the art of war, and made the eight-array map, which greatly enhanced the military strength of Central Shu, which prepared the conditions for the future Northern Expedition. 】

[Judging from Zhuge Liang's military career, his military ability has a process of gradual improvement.

It is undeniable that Zhuge Liang himself has extraordinary military capabilities, but this ability was still in the field of book knowledge during Liu Bei's period.

Since Zhuge Liang was mainly responsible for the work of feeding and feeding soldiers, he lacked opportunities for actual combat on the battlefield, which made Zhuge Liang excellent in organizing and training the army, but his commanding ability on the battlefield was relatively lacking.

This should also be the reason why it is said in "Three Kingdoms" that Zhuge Liang's rule of the army is his strength, and his ingenuity is his weakness. 】
