Zhuge Liang is a scholar, and he saw three points clearly when he was a beginner, but this only shows that he is a young man who likes to study current politics, and his essence is no different from that of many hot-blooded 2B young people now. However, considering the underdeveloped information in the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang was almost always behind closed doors or occasionally chatting and farting with other 2B middle-aged and elderly people, so he had the talent to accurately predict the situation in the next decade.
Then Zhuge Liang was done. Although he was valued by Liu Bei, he only arranged some small things. Later, he gradually felt that he was a practical talent and was promoted and appointed as a logistics manager. He regards Xiao as his own, but he is similar to Xiao as the prime minister. Finally, he became the commander-in-chief of the whole army, led hundreds of recruits and an egg shaped thing to invade barbarians and leave Qishan. Even Sima Yi, who is good at military affairs, lamented that he was a genius in the world. Although Chen Shou will be a little at a loss when evaluating himself, it also depends on who he compares with. And Zhuge Liang's martial arts, although inexperienced, is not a big problem, stable and upright. It was Cao Cao who defeated him. I don't think it's easy either. Then where did he get such a high military level?
To understand Zhuge Liang's military mentor, we must look for clues from several biographies of Shu Han and Jing Xiang.
The first thing to doubt is Si Mahui and other Jingxiang counselors. Although Si Mahui and others are called hermits in their bones, they have a strong utilitarian heart. To put it mildly, they are called caring for the world. At that time, the best place for a scholar with a world mind was to help a master, because at that time, the master was busy fighting and killing people, and it was really difficult to survive without learning some art of war. Some counselors even learned some tricks to kill people.
Therefore, it may be true that Si Mahui is good at the art of war, but the army is not fighting at home, and the generals who actually lead troops must be experienced. However, Si Mahui would never teach Zhuge Liang. Judging from the history of Zhuge Liang's early service to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang was not Liu Bei's military staff, but Liu Bei's staff should be Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang was in charge of logistics and government affairs, including diplomacy. This shows that Zhuge Liang's main course before leaving the mountain is not military. So Si Mahui is not Zhuge Liang's instructor.
The second suspect may be the Jingxiang family, Cai Mao, maybe a little smaller. Although Zhuge Liang is a relative of Cai's family, this relative didn't find anyone who liked him, because he stood in the wrong team and went to a group of celebrities such as Huang. This is the betrayal of Liu Biao Group and even the Jingxiang Armed Landlord Group on which Liu Biao depends. Zhuge Liang is 27 years old and has no job. How pathetic.
Think about it, how depressing it is for a learned scholar and a confident young man, but no one appreciates him and has to stay at home! What does he think of his arrogant relatives? He still wants to learn military from them at this time? More like revenge. Later, Zhuge Liang urged Liu Bei to take Xiangyang, perhaps out of hatred. So Cai Mao and others are not Zhuge Liang's military instructors.
After Chibi, Liu Bei Group ushered in a new period of rapid development. Zhuge Liang was made a corps commander for his diplomatic contributions in the Sun-Liu Alliance. Note that this is Zhuge Liang's first military post, and the position of corps commander is not small, although it is mainly responsible for tax collection and grain collection. In Lingling, Guiyang, Changsha, under his jurisdiction, there was only one celebrity in this period, not Wei Yan. That's what the romance of the Three Kingdoms says, but Zhao Yun!
Is Zhuge Liang's teacher Zhao Yun? Hehe, you guessed wrong. Although Zhao Yun's fighting is also very sophisticated and steady, Zhuge Liang's use of Zhao Yun from behind, including Zhao Yun's attitude towards Zhuge Liang, shows that Zhao Yun is not Zhuge Liang's faction, especially Liu Chan's handling of the problem after Zhao Yun's death, indicating that Zhuge Liang has no special feelings for Zhao Y.
Soon, Liu Bei went to Shu and brought Pang Tong. Pang Tong was with Zhou Yu as early as Wudong, which deeply stimulated Zhuge Liang. Because the examples of Xun Yu and Xun You are not far away, Zhuge Liang deeply felt the necessity of studying military affairs. Zhuge Liang can consciously start studying military affairs, so who is the object of his study? Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were the only military commanders who stayed in Jingzhou at this time. Although there is another Zhao Yun, he is not as good as the first two. Yes, you guessed it. Master Zhuge Liang is one of these two people. It stands to reason that Guan Yu is more likely, but Guan Yu is too arrogant to look down on literati. Such people are daunting. What else do you want to ask him?
However, Zhang Fei is different. Zhang Fei's Historical Records attaches great importance to intellectuals. It is said that he also paints beautiful women, and is said to be a calligrapher. Therefore, it can be boldly speculated that Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei are in their honeymoon period at this time, and Zhuge Liang also needs to send troops with Zhang Fei to muzzle Guan Yu, otherwise no one will listen to anything he says. It is not surprising to ask Zhuge Fei for an army division.
Soon, Zhuge Liang's experience came, and Liu Bei fought back and sent troops to Chengdu. Zhuge Liang and others also led the crowd into Sichuan, which can be said to give Zhuge Liang the opportunity to lead the troops to fight for the first time, and also gave him the opportunity to practice what he had learned from Zhang Fei as early as Jingzhou. At this time, Zhang Fei, who had been repeatedly defeated in Liu Bei Group in his early years, finally reached the peak of his military career. He is no longer the general of Chu Xu and Dian Wei. His experience in fighting made Zhuge Liang understand what a real commander-in-chief looks like. After witnessing the invincible battle between Zhang Fei and Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang became a fan of Zhang Fei completely, and Zhang Fei's performance in the face of Zhang He and other five sons also made Zhuge Liang pay attention to Zhang Fei's experience to some extent.
At this point, Zhuge Liang's early study is over! Unfortunately, although Liu Bei appointed Zhuge Liang as the chief strategist, he was still in charge of logistics. It was not until Liu Bei's death that Zhuge Liang mastered military power and trained the whole army. However, he has no confidence in himself. At the same time, in order to relieve the worries of Shu, he went south to the middle school and won a great victory. At this time, Zhuge Liang was really recognized by Shu and finally became a big star. It is well known that he embarked on the road of the Northern Expedition. He is not only an excellent politician, but also a qualified strategist!
In our minds, since Zhuge Liang first stepped onto the stage of the Three Kingdoms, we have always thought that he has many skills in military and political divination. However, history tells us that Zhuge Liang's military talent was also acquired through constant tempering, and many battlefields have created this immortal wizard.
