Longzhong pair - Tang Guoqiang, Sun Yanjun version
Liu Beisan took care of Maolu, zhuge liang did not come out of Maolu prophet three divisions of the world, put forward the famous "Longzhong pair" strategic concept: with Jingzhou as the starting point, Yizhou as the base, two northern expeditions, east to sun quan, north to resist Cao Cao. After asking Zhuge Liang to leave the mountains, Liu Bei's military line was basically implemented with the above concept.
Zhuge Liang was very paranoid about the strategic concept of "Longzhong Confrontation", after Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong, he was called the King of Hanzhong, Guan Yu preemptively launched the Northern Expedition War in Jingzhou, the advanced army was smooth, captive in the forbidden, beheaded Pound, Wei Zhen Huaxia, and Cao Cao almost had to move the capital to avoid his attack. However, the war situation changed rapidly, just when Guan Yu attacked Fancheng with all his might, the rear was empty, Sun Quan took advantage of the void to enter, Lü Meng crossed the river in white, Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and took Maicheng, the breakthrough failed, and the father and son returned to God.
Guan Yu lost Jingzhou
As soon as Jingzhou was lost, Zhuge Liang's strategic concept of "Longzhong Pair" was basically bankrupt, and the original strategy of envisioning a two-way Northern Expedition came to naught. But Zhuge Liang did not revise his plan because of this, and still desperately went north to the north, the northern expedition, and the northern expedition step by step - perhaps in his mind, how to carry out the northern expedition is not important, what is important is the northern expedition! His almost perverted persistence remained unchanged until death, knowing that he could not do anything, and the tragic mentality of "the building will be difficult to help" began to spread and affect other generals, and even passed directly to his successor Jiang Wei, who committed nine crimes against the people of the Central Plains, in fact, from the beginning of the mistake, doomed to be a fruitless road of no return.
The greatest embodiment of Zhuge Liang's persistence is that he cannot listen to different opinions, whether this different opinion is correct or not, "not listening" is loyalty to the ancestors, that is, insistence on the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty, and is the remembrance of the 24th generation of the two Han Emperors... This strong exclusivity created both the tragedy of Zhuge Liang himself and the tragedy of the Shu Han regime.
Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition
In the ninety-second episode of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang's mentality has been vividly displayed, and it can be said that the tragic fate of Shu Han is rooted here, and the secret of Zhuge Liang's inability to revive the Han Room has also been revealed.
The ninety-second time in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is about Zhuge Liang's victory in the southern expedition, the seven captures of Meng, and the relief of the worries of the southern central region, and the preparation for the Northern Expedition, which is the first time of the famous "six out of the QiShan". His men bravely presented Wei Yan with a plan:
Yan Wish to get five thousand elite troops, take the road out of Zhongzhong, follow the east of the QinLing Mountains, and throw themselves north when the Meridian Valley, but in ten days, you can reach Chang'an. If Xiahou Shu heard of a sudden arrival, he would inevitably abandon the city and look at the Hengmen Mansion Pavilion and leave. But a certain person came from the east, and the minister could drive the horses and march from the valley. If this is done, then the west of Xianyang can be determined in one fell swoop.
Wei Yan
Zhuge Liang did not consider the feasibility of Wei Yan's plan at all, thinking that this was all his own play, but only said to Wei Yan lightly: "What if people intercept and kill in the Meridian Valley?" Didn't five thousand lives be lost? It also greatly damaged our morale! ”
When Wei Yan saw that Zhuge Liang did not use his own plan, he was anxious and directly pointed out the fate of Zhuge Liang's marching plan: "
When the soldiers of the Prime Minister march from the main road, they will do their best to raise the troops of Guanzhong and meet the enemy on the road, then it will be protracted, when will they get to the Central Plains?
”
Zhuge Liang was not impressed and said:
I took the flat road from Longxi and marched into the army according to law
？”
Zhuge Liang's tragedy was already doomed
This controversy ended in Zhuge Liang's victory, and the reason for his victory was that he was a chancellor, Wei Yan's superior, and the official was a senior official who crushed people to death, and Wei Yan had no choice but to keep silent."
Displeased
In this way, Shu Han lost the opportunity to make a surprise attack on Chang'an, and the Already weak Shu army, like the textbooks, strictly followed the first, second, and third steps to enter the army, Sima Yi had already decided on the steps of Zhuge Liang's every action, and Zhuge Liang also knew that Sima Yi knew his plan, but still marched into the army according to the plan, which was both according to his own plan and Sima Yi's plan...
There are too many commentaries on the Internet to explore whether Wei Yan's plan to march from the Meridian Valley can win, and the famous Internet celebrity historian Yi Zhongtian has also given his own insights. Many people did not approve of Wei Yan's plan, on the grounds that Wei Yan's method was too dangerous, what about taking the west of Xianyang in Guanzhong, and what about taking Chang'an? Just as unguarded! Many people also updated Wei Yan's plan and corrected the bug: it is not enough to take only the west of Xianyang, but also to take Chang'an and Tongguan, so that Chang'an is safer, because attacking Guanzhong from east to west not only passes through Tongguan, but also has two Xiongguan passes in the east (referring to Hangu Pass) and Tiger Prison Pass, not to mention the Kunshan Ancient Road, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is no way to open a man... This is no longer within the scope of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms:
Yan Every time he came out, he wanted to invite tens of thousands of soldiers, and liang would meet at Tongguan, such as The story of Han Xin, and the bright system was not allowed. Yan often said that the light was timid, and the hatred of oneself was inexhaustible.
Tongguan and Hanguguan
Here, Wei Yan's strategy and the updated version of netizens are very close, changing the occupation of the west of Xianyang to Tongguan, foolproof, not high!
In my opinion, the crux of the matter is not whether Wei Yan's strategy is feasible, nor is it what wei Yan said in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Yan "said that liang is timid", but Zhuge Liang's principle and character in the use of soldiers. In ancient and modern China and abroad, many excellent commanders have interpreted an indelible truth with facts: Commanders who will not use strange soldiers are not good commanders. The great Spring and Autumn military figure Sun Wu expounded in his thirteenth article, and the "Sun Tzu Shi Ji" said:
Soldiers, tricksters also
！

Fighting a war is not a car part, there is a "work instruction", you must operate according to the process, otherwise it will be NG, there will be waste. The more the enemy thinks that you dare not do this, the more you do it, the more likely it is to destroy the enemy's predictions, disrupt the enemy's plans, and let yourself take the initiative. The Landing of american troops from Inchon in the Korean War was a surprise victory, the Landing of the Allied Forces in Normandy in World War II was also a surprise victory, and the "Han Xin Story" quoted by Wei Yan is also a classic case in this regard! The story here is not the story of the story club, it refers to the classic case of the previous, the storyr, the facts of the past also!
Zhuge Liang did not dare to use strange soldiers but only dared to take the ordinary road, which doomed him to be only a third-rate military expert, and the real Zhuge Liang in history was also like this, good at internal affairs and clumsy in the use of soldiers. His old rival Sima Yi said that he was "cautious in his life and refused to take risks", which was a matter of knowing him in his bones and seeing through him. The so-called empty city plan is completely a plot invented by the novelist, wonderful is wonderful, but it is not true.
Empty city meter
Perhaps behind the legend of Liu Bei's "Three Gu Maolu" inviting Zhuge Liang out of the mountains, it has been doomed to the forty years of the Shu Han Dynasty, and also doomed to the tragedy of Zhuge Liang's "bowing down to exhaustion, dying and then finishing", although Zhuge Liang is a symbol of the wisdom of the Chinese nation and a model for the perfect prime minister in the minds of the Chinese people, this does not hide the fact that he is not suitable for being a military commander, sadly, he did not realize this, still like a moth to the fire, again and again in the same place, again and again gambling on his national fortunes, Again and again, the already thin family foundation of the Shu Kingdom was spelled out...
Liu Beituo was alone with Zhuge Liang
As early as when Zhuge Liang was still alive, the national strength of the Shu Han Dynasty was already quite fragile, "the people are all vegetables", after he was in the autumn wind, Jiang Huan, Fei Yi, and others who succeeded him as prime minister implemented the policy of resting with the people, so that the national strength was easily restored, and when it was Jiang Wei's turn to grasp the power, he began to toss blindly, and the nine central plains, did not take advantage of it at all, but tossed the bottom of the family. Later, Deng Ai Yin crossing Yin Ping seemed to be accidental, but it contained inevitability, constantly trading making, what is not to die? In this sense, Jiang Wei is really a good student of Zhuge Liang, and the two are in the same vein.
