Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 163 Baidi Tuogu, five expeditions to the Central Plains

[No matter what you do, there is a process of gradual improvement, even a genius like Zhuge Liang is no exception.

During Zhuge Liang's five Northern Expeditions, this gradual improvement process is very obvious.

The first, second, and third Northern Expeditions were the process for Zhuge Liang to learn from actual combat experience.

In these battles, Zhuge Liang went from initial failure to gradually mastering the initiative on the battlefield, and his combat style gradually matured.By the time of Zhuge Liang's fourth Northern Expedition, his combat style had matured and he had developed a set of tactics for defeating the enemy.

By the time of Zhuge Liang's fifth Northern Expedition, the strength of the Shu army had reached the point where opponents dared not confront each other head-on.

That was the Shu army led by Zhuge Liang, who could come and go freely in the enemy's controlled area. Even Sima Yi, the "Tonghu" who was as famous as Zhuge Liang, did not dare to challenge him head-on.

Moreover, if it hadn't been for the sudden heavy rain from the sky, Sima Yi might have been burned into fertilizer by Zhuge Liang in the mouth of the gourd.

The Wei army led by Sima Yi couldn't hold out, and the Wei army could only endure Zhuge Liang's wanton insults, and watched Zhuge Liang farm the fields under his nose.

This situation has also become a spectacle in the history of Chinese warfare.

Even when Zhuge Liang died and withdrew his troops and Sima Yi led his troops in pursuit, he was frightened off by the Shu army's bluff counterattack.From this we can see how powerful Zhuge Liang is to deter the enemy.

Even his opponent Sima Yi couldn't help sighing that Zhuge Liang was a genius in the world after visiting the ruins of the military camp left by Zhuge Liang.

Therefore, if you want to say that Zhuge Liang's military skills are not good enough, Sima Yi may be the first to say no. 】

[It's a pity that there are no holidays.

Zhuge Liang died of overwork when he was only 54 years old.

If Zhuge Liang can live a few more years, he may really realize his ideal of reorganizing the Han Dynasty.At that time, no one dared to question Zhuge Liang's military talent anymore. 】

"Oh, Zhuge Liang has indeed tried his best."

"Yes, if it weren't for Guan Yu and Liu Bei's defeat after defeat, which wiped out the Shu Han's family fortune, with Zhuge Liang's ability, the Shu Han might not be able to succeed in the Northern Expedition."

"It is unwise and helpless for Zhuge Liang to use one state to fight against nine states."

"After the battle of Yiling, the state of Shu was in fact gone. Only with Zhuge Liang, the Shu Han could last for decades."

Countless people expressed emotion, both affirming Zhuge Liang and disdain for Zhuge Liang's "stubbornness".

Whether it is merit or demerit will be commented by future generations. Zhuge Liang is just using his life to practice his ideals and Longzhong's strategic layout of the time.

No more gossip, let's continue to watch the video,
[Zhuge Liang's fifth greatest achievement: Baidi Tuogu, who was ordered in danger.

In the first year of Zhangwu, 221 A.D., Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and was killed by Soochow. Zhang Fei was killed by his own soldiers on the way to avenge Guan Yu.

Liu Bei led the generals Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, and Huang Quan to oversee hundreds of thousands of land and water troops, all of whom were the core forces of the Xishu Group. However, they were defeated by Lu Xun of the Eastern Wu. The hundreds of thousands of troops were completely lost. Zhang Nan and Feng Xi died in battle. Huang Quan was blocked by the Eastern Wu navy and surrendered to Cao Wei, while Liu Bei retreated to Baidi City.

After this battle, the Xishu family was defeated and their vitality was greatly injured, while Sun Wu and Cao Wei's soldiers were all pointing at Shu! 】

【However, at this time, Liu Bei was ill.

In the first month of 223 A.D., Liu Bei summoned Zhuge Liang to Baidi City. In February, Zhuge Liang arrived in Yong'an. At this time, Liu Bei was already bedridden.

Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei that Liu Zhang was brought to Jiangling by Sun Quan, and he was given the official post of governor of Yizhou.

Liu Bei understands what Zhuge Liang wants to express, and the biggest task now is to quickly determine a successor and stabilize the situation.

Liu Bei wearily said his last words to Zhuge Liang, and told Zhuge Liang: "Your talent is ten times that of Cao Pi, and you will be able to secure the country and make great decisions in the end. If your heir can assist you, assist him; if he is not talented, you can take it yourself."]

Not only Guan Yu, but also Liu Bang, Liu Che, Liu Xiu and others were shocked, "Liu Bei trusts Zhuge Liang to such an extent?"

【Zhuge Liang heard Liu Bei's words from the bottom of his heart and broke down in tears. He said that he must do his best to assist Liu Chan and repay Liu Bei's kindness.

Liu Bei promoted Li Yan of Jingzhou to be Zhuge Liang's deputy, and made him the minister.

Liu Bei called out his two sons beside him, Liu Li and Liu Yong, and entrusted them to Zhuge Liang.

Finally, he left an imperial edict to Prince Liu Chan, telling him to treat Zhuge Liang as his father. 】

"The monarch and his ministers are so envious of others!"

"That's why Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are willing to be sung by later generations. It's just a pity that Guan Yu and Liu Bei personally ruined the future of the Shu Han."

[Many people now like to be unconventional, and like to engage in "conspiracy theories" to show their maverick.

Baidicheng Tuoguben is a perfect model of the relationship between monarch and minister for 2000 years, and Zhuge Liang also fulfilled his promise in 12 years.

Many conspiracy theories are actually derived from a sentence of Kangxi.

Kangxi believed that Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to "take it for himself" because he wanted Zhuge Liang to proclaim himself emperor, but it was actually used to test Zhuge Liang.

But judging from the original intention, Liu Bei is more likely to ask Zhuge Liang to change the prince himself.

Perhaps this is the difference between Manchu and Han cultures. Thinking of the Qing Dynasty, it was the cruelest dynasty in which the brothers fought for the heir apparent. It is normal for Kangxi to have this idea. 】

Emperor Kangxi Xuan Ye clenched his toes in embarrassment, "Shangshen Su is not being kind. Isn't this saying that I, Xuan Ye, are narrow-minded in front of countless people in parallel dimensions?"

[In the third year of Zhangwu, in 223 A.D., Liu Bei was in Baidi City. He regretted not listening to Zhuge Liang, forcibly attacked Wu, and asked Zhuge Liang to assist the queen Liu Chan. After that, a generation of heroes passed away. 】

Guan Yu already knew about Liu Bei's defeat at Yiling from other people.

But when he roughly understood the ins and outs of the whole thing from Su Qian's video, he felt even more regretful and anxious.

Guan Yu was lying on the light wall, watching the dying Liu Bei holding Zhuge Liang's hand to entrust his funeral, he finally couldn't help crying, "Big Brother, Third Brother! I'm the one who's sorry for you!!"

[Liu Bei died, leaving a dilapidated state of Shu to Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan.

Everyone knows Liu Chan, and there is almost no hope.

It was in this extremely unfavorable situation that Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Chan to ascend the throne, retreated from the Five Route Allied Forces, stabilized the Shu regime, reunited Soochow, and jointly resisted Cao Wei. 】

After hearing these words, Guan Yu finally barely stopped crying, looked up at the light curtain,
[Zhuge Liang's sixth greatest achievement is to calm Nanzhong and stabilize the rear.

After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang took over the control of the Shu Han. He still did not forget the conversation he had with Liu Bei in Longzhong, nor did he abandon his ideal of restoring the Han Dynasty.

However, just when Zhuge Liang was actively governing Shu's internal and external affairs and was preparing for the northern expedition to the Central Plains, Meng Huo, the barbarian chieftain in the South and Central China, rebelled one after another with Shu Yongchang's prefect Yongkai, directly threatening the rear of Shu.

To make the Northern Expedition worry-free, Zhuge Liang must first pacify Nanzhong, and then stabilize it.

Therefore, in 225 A.D., Zhuge Liang's [-] troops went deep into the barren land in the south to fight against the rebels!

After more than [-] battles, the Shu army beheaded Yong Kai, captured Meng Huo seven times, and finally pacified Nanzhong.

The Shu Han settled in Nanzhong and gained a lot of resources, and formed a powerful army of Wudang Flying Army.

After long-term accumulation, the Shu Han finally had the strength and foundation for the Northern Expedition. 】

"This Zhuge Liang is truly a god!" Liu Che exclaimed with his eyes shining.

Liu Xiu muttered to herself: "In my opinion, Zhuge Liang's situation is much worse than Wang Meng's. To say that Wang Meng's achievements surpassed Zhuge' is probably exaggerated."

"Kong Ming, military commander, I want to say thank you to you on behalf of elder brother and third younger brother, and I'm sorry."
