In 227 AD, in order to achieve national unification, after quelling the rebellion in the south, Zhuge Liang planned the Northern Expedition, and the first strategic goal was to capture Chang'an. Before leaving, Zhuge Liang wrote to Liu Chan, the master of the book, leaving behind the ancient famous passage of "Table of Teachers". However, in the "Table of Renunciation", Zhuge Liang does not mention Zhao Yunchen to these military generals, but only mentions Xiang Pet, why?
In the third paragraph of the master's table, Zhuge Liang mentioned that the remaining wenchens, such as Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, and others, hoped that Liu Chan would consult with them when making decisions. In the fourth paragraph, Zhuge Liang mentions that he is a military general who stays behind, defends the rear and defends Liu Chan, but only mentions Zhao Yunchen to these two veteran generals, but only talks about Xiang Pet.
The general Xiang Favor, The Sex Shu Jun, and the Xiao Chang Military, tried to be used in the past, and the former emperor called it "Neng", which was based on the opinion of the people to raise the favor as the overseer: Foolishly thinking that the affairs in the camp, knowing it, will be able to make the line harmonious, and the advantages and disadvantages will be gained.
Between the lines, it is obvious that Zhuge Liang appreciates Xiang Pet, and hopes that Liu Chan will "understand and consult" when he encounters things in the army, and specially recommend Xiang Pet to Liu Chan. This inevitably makes people wonder, what virtue can a disgraceful Xiang Pet have, can he get zhuge Liang's such admiration, is it stronger than Zhao Yunchen to such a tried and tested veteran bodyguard?
What is the credit for Xiang Pet? In fact, Xiang Pet had only one brilliant time in his life, that is, Liu Bei's army was defeated in the Battle of Yiling, and the armies were defeated and suffered heavy losses, but Xiang Pet's troops were intact.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms: A Tooth Gatekeeper when he was the First Lord. The defeat of Zi Gui was completed, and the pet camp was completed.
Because of this, Liu Bei said that Xiang Was capable, that is, "the first emperor called it 'able'" in the "Table of Teachers".
After Liu Bei's death, Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, and Xiang Yu was given the title of Marquis of Duting, and later elected as the Governor of Central China, responsible for managing the palace guards. This work was a few years, before Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he specifically mentioned Xiang Yu and hoped that Liu Chan would reuse him. Because of Zhuge Liang's appearance as a teacher, Xiang Yu was immediately promoted to the rank of leader of the middle.
In 240, Nan Man rebelled and put down the rebellion against the favored soldiers, but was killed in the melee.
The above is the major event of Xiang Pet's life, obviously it is difficult to compare with Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi, which can be described as a life without victory. If this is the case, why does Zhuge Liang respect Xiang Favor so much?
In fact, Xiang Pet's reputation is not obvious, but he is a person with a background.
Xiang Pet is not very famous, but his uncle Xiang Lang is famous for a while and has a prominent position. Xiang Langhu, a native of Yicheng, was Sima Hui's apprentice and Liu Bei's old subordinate, and later followed Liu Bei into Sichuan. After Liu Bei's death, Xiang Lang served as the governor of the XiangFu Prefecture, equivalent to Zhuge Liang's secretary general or chief of staff, a position that required not only talent, but also trust.
Therefore, Xiang Pet had a background and was able to do it, so Zhuge Liang solemnly recommended him to Liu Chan, allowing him to gradually become the core general of the "Nine Gate Admiral" category. Otherwise, even if the talent of the Shu Kingdom withers, it will not be unable to come out with a battle-hardened sushi general, and only mention Xiang Pet.
As for why Zhuge Liang did not mention Zhao Yun and others, this is related to the nature of the master's list, which is to recommend liu Chan to stay behind, and Zhao Yun wants to accompany the army on the Northern Expedition, naturally there is no need to mention it. The Northern Expedition to the Central Plains was also Zhao Yun's wish, and Zhao Yun was a heavy general, and Zhuge Liang would definitely take it with him.
However, there was another overlooked person here, that is, Chen Zhi, who did not participate in the Northern Expedition, so why did Zhuge Liang not entrust him with the heavy task of guarding Chengdu? After all, Chen Zhi was the head of Liu Bei's guard regiment, leading the Bai Yi soldiers, and Zhuge Liang should have arranged for him to be responsible for the safety of Chengdu and Liu Chan.
When Zhuge Liang wrote the master's table, Chen Zhi was the governor of Yong'an, under the command of Li Yan (one of the two orphan ministers left by Liu Bei), why Zhuge Liang did not transfer him back, the history books do not say, but there are no more than three reasons: first, Zhuge Liang did not trust him, second, Chen Zhi could not leave with special responsibilities, such as monitoring Li Yan, and third, Liu Chan did not like Chen Zhi, the so-called one dynasty and one courtier.
Of course, why Zhuge Liang did not need to chen, but used a young general to favor, this is a historical suspense case.
From this point of view, Zhuge Liang's use of people is inevitably conventional, like to use the people around him, not really use the ability to use, the late Shu Han talent withered, may also be related to this. In a casual remark, almost all of the talents used by Zhuge Liang are from Jingchu, not from Shudi, such as Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, etc. are all Jingchu people, so it is inevitable that posterity will criticize Zhuge Liang for having a party.
