In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei has been with Zhuge Liang for so long, so why hasn't he unified the Three Kingdoms? But at the same time, Chairman Mao also pointed out that Zhuge Liang himself also has three flaws, which may be an important reason why Shu Kingdom was

There are rumors among the people that , lying on the dragon and phoenix, can you be at peace with the world .

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang for so long, why did he still not unify the Three Kingdoms? This question is indeed a bit unreasonable. After all, the actual situation of Shu itself is indeed far inferior to that of Wei .

At the same time, Chairman Mao also pointed out that Zhuge Liang himself also had three flaws, which may be an important reason why Shu Kingdom could not unify the Three Kingdoms in the end.

Idealized strategy

" Longzhong vs. ", Zhuge Liang proposed to Liu Bei: If there is Jing and Yi, it will protect its rocks, reconcile the Rong in the west, pacify Yiyue in the south, build good things outside, and cultivate political principles inside... Then hegemony can be achieved and the Han Dynasty can prosper.

When I read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I thought Zhuge Liang was really a talented person. He was in a thatched cottage and analyzed the general trend of the world so thoroughly.

After understanding the shortcomings pointed out by Chairman Mao, I found that the strategic concept proposed by Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei was really too ideal.

Not to mention Jingzhou and Yizhou are too far away, and the troops of Shu Han do not support them to occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou at the same time. Even if it is only part of Jingzhou, Shu should not waste too much energy.

Especially at that time, Wu and Shu were fighting for Jingzhou, and they seemed to have never considered the threat of Cao Wei to them. Although the Battle of Red Cliffs was defeated and returned, the actual combat power of Cao Wei’s side was not comparable to that of Wu and Shu.

Zhuge Liang still let Guan Yu defend Jingzhou when his military strength is insufficient and he is facing great pressure on the outside world. This is equivalent to the fact that when the chess players play Go, they suddenly hang out of the game.

If you can turn the battle with this son with the power of one son, it will naturally be a stroke of magic. But if this son is "promoted" by the other party, it will become an opportunity and springboard for the other party to develop, it is really not necessary.

Guan Yu used his subsequent performance to prove that Shu Han was indeed incapable and occupied two major states at the same time. This not only caused Zhuge Liang's strategic layout to be damaged, but also delayed Zhuge Liang's development opportunity.

Therefore, Chairman Mao believes that Zhuge Liang's tactical strategy, is too ideal , and does not pay attention to actual .

Improper employment

Secondly, it is the problem of improper employment. Zhuge Liang not only made a mistake, but also made two consecutive mistakes.

One is Jingzhou. Instead of letting Guan Yu guard , it is better to change it to Huang Zhong , or Zhao Yun and others to go. Compared to a person like Guan Yu who is arrogant and despised the world's military generals, the mature and steadfast Huang Zhong and the low-key and introverted Zhao Yun are all more suitable.

In the end, Guan Yu refused to listen to the advice and humiliated Dongwu with one sword, causing himself a murder. Who is this strange?

If you change a general, you can use to drag the word to delay time. As long as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang consolidate the rear, will the Eastern Wu still have the ability to challenge Shu?

2: During the first Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang arranged for Ma Su to guard Jieting , which was also a serious inappropriate employment committed by Zhuge Liang. Even when the first northern expedition of Shu Kingdom failed, Zhuge Liang had to bear all the responsibility.

Some people may think it is unfair, but you might as well take a look at the specific situation of the Three Kingdoms at that time. The Wei army was confined to the border of Wu, and Zhuge Liang found the best opportunity to launch an attack.

Wei Yan 's Ziwugu Qimou , will not be discussed for the time being, Jieting is the top priority of Shu's military layout. Shouldn't Zhuge Liang go to guard himself?

Indeed, after captured Meng Huo seven times, Zhuge Liang attached great importance to Ma Su. There are many opportunities to exercise, but the opportunities for the Northern Expedition are to use it once and once.

In Chairman Mao’s view, if Zhuge Liang could pay more attention to the strategic significance of Jieting at the beginning, perhaps the subsequent development and changes would be different.

personally

As for the last question raised by Chairman Mao, it was mainly that after Zhuge Liang made mistakes in employing people, he personally , which also put too much pressure on him.

The power of a person is limited after all. If you cannot unite all the living forces that can be united, why should Zhuge Liang go against the will of heaven and change his fate?

. Let’s not talk about the first Northern Expedition. In all subsequent Northern Expeditions, Zhuge Liang never arranged a general to do something with confidence, but instead did it himself.

If Zhuge Liang himself was also a general with outstanding military power, people would not even doubt whether he would personally take the sword to the battlefield. After returning to Shu Kingdom, Zhuge Liang's focus changed from military to political.

Liu Chan, however, obeyed Zhuge Liang's words, but this also made Zhuge Liang's pressure grow stronger and greater. When a machine is transported to a certain level, it will cause difficult to repair losses, let alone people.

After Zhuge Liang fell, although Jiang Wei inherited his last wish and continued 9 to attack the Central Plains , what was the result?

So from Chairman Mao’s perspective, Zhuge Liang was unable to unify the Three Kingdoms, and there were also big reasons for him.

Of course, no one would doubt Zhuge Liang's personal ability to do this with his own strength in an era of rising heroes.

If it weren't for meeting Zhuge Liang, how could Liu Bei have the chance to dominate the world?
