"Victory first and then fight" is the essence of Sun Tzu's thinking in the Art of War, and it is also the underlying guiding ideology of many wars from ancient times to the present. Mr. Kong Ming, as the "incarnation of wisdom" admired by the world, cannot not know the truth. The guiding ideology of winning first and then fighting not only refers to military strategy, but also to prepare for comprehensive factors such as comprehensive national strength and political means. If you have an overwhelming advantage, you will fight. However, Mr. Kong Ming could not be unclear at that time. In terms of national strength and military strength alone, Shu was not as good as the actual situation of , Wei State at that time. If the first decision to the Northern Expedition was because the new emperor of Wei had just taken office and the domestic political situation of Wei was not very stable, and he could take the opportunity to capture some strategic areas, then the subsequent decisions of the Northern Expeditions completely violated the strategic idea of "win first and then fight". The actual strategic value obtained by the fifth Northern Expedition is also lacking. So did Mr. Kong Ming make a review after the first failure and the second or even the third failure to reflect on whether there is room for maneuver in the decision to send troops to the Northern Expedition?
If Mr. Kong Ming abandoned the strategic idea of "win first and fight later" and sent troops, the intentions of military speculation and military gambling would be too obvious. Regardless of whether or not we must inherit the aspirations of the previous emperor, military actions between countries are definitely not something that speculative gambling can achieve decisive results. Moreover, the weak comprehensive strength of Shu Kingdom at that time is also an indisputable fact: there is a shortage of talents (there is no general in Shu, and Liao Hua is the pioneer); the lack of labor (it is also a helpless move to invent the wooden ox and horse ); the lack of stability in the political environment (at least two times in the five Northern Expeditions were because the supply of food and grass was not enough to withdraw. The prime minister nominally managed the economy, and even the supply problems during the war could not be guaranteed). A similar situation can be seen how Mr. Kong Ming’s ancestors did it. Han Dynasty was just in its early days, because the country had been torn and destroyed by years of war and chaotic political structure. Huns came, Liu Bang was a bloody man who fought but lost. As soon as Liu Bang died, Empress Lu endured the humiliation of the Huns and his peace. Empress Lu used her humiliation to exchange for the country's chance to recuperate. After several generations of hard work, Emperor Wu of Han relied on his strong comprehensive national strength and years of careful preparation of military strength to beat the Huns. So why can't Mr. Kong Ming, a famous politician, bear it and rest and adjust his comprehensive national strength, military strength and political environment to the state of "victory" before sending troops to fight the Wei Kingdom?
When Shu Kingdom's comprehensive strength is at a disadvantage, what exactly is the reason that Prime Minister Zhuge insists on using troops? The real reason is definitely not that in " Memorial to the Master ", it is said that to repay the grace of the late emperor. Without the support of the potential energy of "victory", the military can only slowly emptiate the foundation that the late emperor has built. Compared with Sima Yi's patience and Empress Lu's patience, Mr. Kong Ming's desire to restore the Han Dynasty himself seemed a little anxious and lost his temper. Of course, there will be more and more secret reasons here that make the Prime Minister lose his patience. The Prime Minister could have imitated the Han Dynasty managers or even reformed the situation to accumulate "victory" trend: build a talent training and recruitment system; implement new laws to enhance military strength; continue to develop agriculture to increase grain output; if Mr. Kong Ming can maintain patience and rely on the characteristics of easy preservation and hard work in Shu, carry out economic development and military reforms and talent system construction, and cooperate with the Zhuge Crossbow and other advanced weapons invented by Mr. 3 and joint political pressure with the Eastern Wu, then after the accumulation of "victory momentum" is reached and the situation in the Three Kingdoms will probably not develop so quickly.
Why is the Prime Minister so anxious? Do you have no faith in the later Lord? Worthy of fun…
