Zhuge Liang was born in the 4th year of Han Dynasty (A.D. 18 1), an official family in Yang Du (now yinan county, Shandong) of Langye County. Zhuge family is a noble family of Langxie, and Zhuge's ancestor Zhuge Feng was a captain in the Western Han Dynasty and the early Yuan Dynasty. Zhuge Liang's father, Zhuge Jue, was named Simon and worked as a county magistrate in Taishan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang's 3-year-old mother Zhang died of illness and his father died at the age of 8 (9-year-old mother, 12-year-old father). Zhuge Liang and his younger sister and brother Zhuge Jun followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan (appointed by Yuan Shu as the prefect of Zhang Yu) to work in Zhang Yu. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Xuan was replaced by Zhu Hao, and Zhuge Xuan went to his old friend Jingzhou to shepherd Liu Biao.
In the second year of Jian 'an (AD 197), Zhuge Xuan died of illness. Zhuge Liang and his brother and sister lost their livelihood, so they moved to Nanyang. At the age of 65,438+07, Zhuge Liang and his friend Xu Shu studied under Mr. Si Mahui. He saw that Liu Biao was incompetent and not the master of the world, so he lived in seclusion in Longzhongshan, twenty miles west of Xiangyang City, and built a house. This was in the year 197. Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Longzhong for ten years. He made friends with celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River, "comparing himself to Guan Zhonghe every time", and loved to sing Song of Fu Liang, and made friends with celebrities such as Pang Degong, Pang Tong, Huang, Cui and Xu Shu. His intelligence has been recognized by everyone, and he has the ambition to conquer the world. He pays close attention to the development of the current situation, so he knows the world situation like the back of his hand. Known as "Wolong". Marry Huang's daughter.
In the twelfth year of Jian 'an (AD 207), Zhuge Liang was 27 years old. Liu Bei went to the thatched cottage to meet Zhuge Liang and asked about the plan to unify the world. Zhuge Liang brilliantly analyzed the situation at that time, and put forward the strategic idea of seizing Jing and Yi as a base area first, reforming politics at home, uniting with Sun Quan abroad, comforting Yi Yue in Nan 'an and sending troops to the north in the west to unify the whole country. This passage is the famous "dragon". After listening to Zhuge Liang's incisive and thorough analysis, Liu Bei's thoughts suddenly became clear. He felt that Zhuge Liang's talents were rare, so he earnestly asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain and help him complete the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain to assist Liu Bei, joined forces with Sun to fight Cao, and Battle of Red Cliffs was defeated. Form the trend of the Three Kingdoms and seize Jingzhou. Jian 'an sixteen years, captured Yizhou. Then he defeated Cao Jun and won Hanzhong. In twenty-six years, Liu Bei established the Shu-Han regime in Chengdu, and Zhuge Liang was appointed as the prime minister to preside over state affairs.
In the spring of the third year of Zhangwu (AD 223), Liu Bei was critically ill in Yong 'an, and called Zhuge Liang to take care of the affairs, saying, "Your talent is ten times that of Cao Pi, and you can finally settle down in the world and achieve great things. If the heir can make up, he will make up; If you are incompetent, you can take it yourself. " Zhuge Liang quickly cried: "I will try my best to bring out the best in each other, and I will be loyal to death!" " The queen acceded to the throne.
Liu Chan, the ruler in the last years of Shu and Han Dynasties, succeeded to the throne, and Zhuge Liang was appointed as the marquis of Wuxiang, who led Yizhou as a shepherd. Establish a prime minister's office to handle daily affairs. At that time, the military, political and financial affairs of the whole country, big or small, were decided by Zhuge Liang, with strict rewards and punishments. Make an alliance with Dongwu, improve relations with all ethnic groups in southwest China, open up wasteland and strengthen combat readiness. In the fifth year of lite (AD 227), Shang Shu (a model) was in Liu Chan and led the army out of Hanzhong. He made six northern expeditions to the Central Plains, mostly with grain. Twelve years later, due to overwork, he died in the former army and entrusted Jiang Wei with the funeral.
Zhuge Liang is an orthodox thinker who upholds feudal laws and advocates Confucian loyalty and morality. However, Zhuge Liang did not stick to Confucian dogma. He respects the king, but does not harass foreigners. He made a southern tour to appease foreigners and implemented the best ethnic policy among the three countries. Zhuge Liang has become a model for future generations with the spirit of "devoting all his efforts to death before doing it".
China has portrayed Zhuge Liang as the embodiment of wisdom for thousands of years, and his legendary story has been told by the world. Zhuge Liang is ingenious, resourceful and thoughtful. "Liancrossbow" has been innovated, and it can continuously launch 10 arrows; Make "wooden cows and flowing horses" to facilitate military transportation in mountainous areas; He also deduced the art of war, made an "eight-array diagram" and invented the "Kongming Lantern".
Zhuge Liang's uncle Zhuge Xuan was a celebrity at that time. Zhuge Jinshi, Zhuge Liang's younger brother, was in Wu at that time, worshiping the general and guarding the left, and leading the Yuzhou animal husbandry. Zhuge Dan, Liang's younger brother, is an official in Wei and an official in the official department. He was transferred to Yangzhou Secretariat, Town East General and Sikong. All three brothers are famous, each in a country. At that time, I thought that "Shu was the dragon, Wu was the tiger, and Wei was the dog" (Shi Shuo Xin Yu Pin Zao) noted that dogs were "meritorious dogs". Although they could not be compared with dragons and tigers, they were also very meritorious people, so they were famous. )。
Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition
After Zhuge Liang came to power, the first important thing he did was to resume diplomatic relations with Soochow. After Liu Bei's death, Soochow continued to be a vassal of Wei, but on the other hand, it has not made up its mind how to deal with Shu, and it is still at the border of Shu. Zhuge Liang sent Deng Zhi, a minister, to persuade Sun Quan to unite with Shu and sever relations with Wei.
At that time, during Liu Bei's crusade, the counties in South China rebelled under the instigation of Wu Dong, which seriously threatened the backyard of Shu Han. After Zhuge Liang came to power, he resumed diplomatic relations with Soochow and cut off foreign aid to South China. After two years of aftercare, Zhuge Liang wrote to his late master, determined to quell the rebellion in southern China. In the spring of the third year of Jianxing (AD 225), Zhuge Liang led an army to conquer Nanzhong in three ways. After the war of counter-insurgency, Zhuge Liang divided the four counties in the south into six counties by learning from the experience of "vassal States building their own armies". Jianning county, the center of the rebel army, was divided into the smallest county, and a large number of local surnames were used as officials to manage the area without leaving troops or transporting food and grass. More than 10,000 families of "Qing Qiang" in South China were recruited into Shu, and five cavalry units were formed with their youth and strength, which were called "flying troops": the commander-in-chief was set up to take charge of the military and political affairs in South China. In December of that year, Zhuge Liang led the army back to Chengdu.
In March of the fifth year of Jianxing (AD 227), Zhuge Liang took the model to see his late master and led his army to Hanzhong to prepare for the Northern Expedition. He first trained in Hanzhong for about a year, and then attacked the north. Wei Nan 'an (Longxi, Gansu), Tianshui and Anding (Jichuan, Gansu) immediately fell to Shu. Wei Mingdi went to Chang 'an to supervise the war, while Cao Zhen supervised the right army, and adopted the strategy of giving priority to defense. At first, the Shu army took Gu Jielu as a threat to capture the county seat, so that Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi led the troops (now northwest of Shaanxi Baocheng) as suspected troops, and Zhuge Liang led the troops to attack Qishan in the west. Ma Su, who joined the army, led an army as a pioneer and was stationed in the street pavilion. Ma Su was bad, lost to Wei Jun and lost to the street kiosks. The Shu army lost its stronghold and had to return to Hanzhong (there was no "empty city plan" to retreat Sima Yijun in official history). Zhuge Liang beheaded Ma Su with tears in his eyes, wrote to himself three times, and became prime minister as a right general.
In the winter of the sixth year of Jianxing (AD 228), Wei Jun attacked Wu on the third road, and Guanzhong was empty. Zhuge Liang led the army to the Northern Expedition again. The Shu army went through the big three passes this time, besieged Chencang for more than 20 days, and all the food was gone. In the seventh year of Jianxing (AD 229), Zhuge Liang led the army to the third northern expedition. The Shu army marched westward, occupied Weiwudu and Yin Ping counties, and then returned. Zhuge Liang was reinstated as prime minister.
During this period, the contradiction between Zhuge Liang and Li Yan became the focus of attention. It turns out that the two of them are entrusted by Liu Bei, and * * * is the assistant minister. Until lite four years (AD 226), the relationship between them was relatively good, and Zhuge Liang also praised Li Yan in his letter to Mengda. But soon, Li Yan wrote to Zhuge Liang, suggesting that he use the power of state affairs to become a king like Cao Cao and accept the "Nine Tin", so that he can also get some benefits. Zhuge Liang was very angry about this and severely criticized Li Yan in his reply. Soon, before Zhuge Liang prepared to attack Wei, he asked Li Yan to guard Hanzhong with his 20 thousand army. Li Yan bargained for Zhuge Liang to draw five counties from the eastern part of Yizhou to set up Jiangzhou, and let him be the secretariat of Jiangzhou, but the transfer failed. Zhuge Liang put the overall situation first and compromised; In the seventh year of lite, before Kyle went to Wu Dong, he specifically asked Zhuge Liang to report Li Yan's clever deception, especially about some misdeeds of Li Yan when he was an official in his hometown in his early years, but it did not attract enough attention from Zhuge Liang. In the eighth year of Jianxing (AD 230), he wanted to attack Shu in three ways. Zhuge Liang once again asked Li Yan to take 20 thousand troops to Hanzhong, and Li Yan bargained again. Zhuge Liang immediately gave in and appointed his son as the governor of Jiangzhou, and took over the work after Li Yan was transferred. Li Yan carried out the transfer order. In the ninth year of Jianxing (AD 23 1), Zhuge Liang attacked Wei for the fourth time, and ordered Li Yan to be responsible for the logistics supply in Hanzhong. Li Yan failed to raise food and grass in time, so he wrote to Zhuge Liang that the emperor ordered the retreat. After Zhuge Liang withdrew his troops, he lied to the court that withdrawing troops was to lure the enemy. When Zhuge Liang came back, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is there enough rations? Why did you suddenly retreat? " So Zhuge Liang took out Li Yan's letters as evidence in court, signed them with many soldiers, impeached Li Yan, transferred him from Shu Ren and exiled him to Zitong.
