"I am a commoner, working hard in Nanyang, surviving in troubled times, and not seeking to be heard by the princes. The late emperor did not think that his ministers were despicable, and that he was in vain. I am grateful for the things that happened in the world, so I promised the late emperor to drive..." These eloquent words completed Mr. Kong Ming's life... He was a famous prime minister of the Han Dynasty and a counselor in Sichuan, and he even shouldered the responsibility in times of crisis. A hero of the day who has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility and is a man of positive energy. However, legends are legends after all. After all, none of us have ever seen it, and not all history can withstand the scrutiny of time. In the end, the stark reality can only make us reshape our "three views." > He was somewhat famous before he met Liu Bei, but judging from historical materials and his autobiography "Chu Shi Biao", he only worked hard in Nanyang and went to Jingzhou under Liu Biao's name. It was not until the twelfth year of Jian'an that he began to show off his talents after meeting Liu Bei. This year, Zhuge Liang was 26 years old. He was so lucky to be favored by "Uncle Liu Huang" and "visited the thatched cottage three times" to Gulong to invite him to come out. It was here that Zhuge Liang had already made a strategic plan for the future lord to divide the world into three parts, that is, The famous "Longzhong Pair" in history. > How many literati throughout the ages have taken pride in this and studied the books of saints and sages, just to make their name famous throughout the ages. However, all this is somewhat illogical. According to records, Zhuge Liang often compares himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, which shows that he is by no means a person who is willing to live in peace. In these troubled times, Zhuge Liang will definitely step out, and Liu Bei is also the good master he is looking for. At that time, Liu Bei was indeed thirsty for talents and urgently needed a group of talents, that is, a group of "virtuous ministers", not just "Zhuge Liang". Moreover, Liu Bei was already over forty at this time, while Zhuge Liang was only twenty-six years old when he came out of the mountain. It is not easy for a forty-six-year-old person to express his sincerity to a twenty-six-year-old person, let alone visiting him one after another? This is not in line with the historical relationship of the characters. The most likely thing is that before "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage", Zhuge Liang had "recommended himself", but Liu Bei did not take this young man seriously at that time, which led to a series of things that happened in the future... …>Although history is not as perfect as I originally thought, Zhuge Liang’s outstanding political talents are obvious to all, especially in the Battle of Chibi that turned the world around. It was precisely because of this war that Liu Bei finally had a chance to breathe after retreating repeatedly. He finally had a base area in Jingzhou based on Jiangxia and was able to expand his power, thus laying the foundation for the establishment of the Three Kingdoms. During this period, Zhuge Liang contributed a lot to the alliance between Liu Bei's military group and Sun Quan's military group, but if you think about it carefully, the Battle of Chibi was by no means what was depicted in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"! In the empty city plan, Sima Yi led an army of 200,000. Why did he retreat without attacking in the end? Even if he surrounded the army without attacking, he still had a chance of winning? Furthermore, anyone who knows a little bit about natural common sense knows that the "East Wind" cannot be borrowed. Du Mu also once wrote a poem: "The East Wind does not agree with Zhou Lang, and the bronze bird spring is locked up in the two Qiaos." Even if you borrow the East Wind, you cannot borrow it. It should be Zhuge Liang. > The halo of many heroes in history has been infinitely expanded, and it seems that Zhuge Liang is no exception. > If you want to say that Zhuge Liang’s influence is none other than Sichuan, just look at the Wuhou Temple in Chengdu. After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei pacified the four counties in Jingnan in December. Zhuge Liang was appointed as the military advisor Zhonglang General, guarding Jingzhou together with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others. In December of that year, he and Liu Bei besieged Chengdu. By 214, Liu Zhang surrendered and Liu Bei took control of Yizhou. Seven years later, Emperor Xian of Han was killed, and Zhuge Liang took advantage of the situation to assist Liu Bei in ascending the throne. This is regarded as Zhuge Liang's greatest achievement in his life, but a more difficult task is still waiting for him... In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Liu Bei decided to avenge Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and killed Cao Cao's famous general Xia Houyuan in the Battle of Hanzhong , defeated Cao Cao and occupied the strategic location of Hanzhong. At this time, Guan Yu, who was dazzled by the victory, began to attack Cao Wei alone in the north, leaving the rear of Jingzhou empty. Lu Meng of Dongwu took the opportunity to seize Jingzhou and captured Guan Yu. "Losing Jingzhou" severely damaged Liu Bei's energy, and he had to temporarily retreat to Baidi City. I don't want Liu Bei to fall ill in Baidi City and leave Zhuge Liang alone in times of crisis. > In 225, local armed forces in most areas of western Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou took the opportunity to rebel, leading to war. At that time, Zhu Bao, Yong Kai, Gaoding, and the powerful Nanzhong Meng Huo participated in it. Zhuge Liang personally led the army southward and pacified Nanzhong. , it is precisely "so I crossed Lu in the fifth month and went deep into the barren area". The Seven Captures of Meng Huo took place in Baoshan, so there are still vague traces of the war in the Wuhou Temple in Baoshan. After the situation stabilized, Zhuge Liang did not give up power to Liu Chan, but happily accepted the "Fengwu Fengwu" title given by Liu Chan. "Xianghou", he opened the government to manage affairs, and led the Yizhou pastoral, which is almost the same as Cao Cao's title. At this time, he devoted all the manpower and material resources in the country to preparing to defeat the Wei army, unify the Central Plains, and realize Liu Bei's last wish to restore the Han Dynasty. To this end, he went out to Qishan six times and finally died of illness in the Wuzhangyuan military camp. History has no objections to this. Could it be that Liu Chan is really a helpless Adou, Cao Cao is destined to be a treacherous minister who "holds the emperor's power to order the princes", and Zhuge Liang is a loyal minister who will be remembered forever? This is not the case. After Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan immediately abolished the prime minister system and let two people take charge of the military. Later, he simply took over the affairs of the country and took charge of the government himself. Then why did Liu Chan always tolerate it, and even issued an edict to build a temple for Zhuge Liang the year after his death, namely the Wuhou Temple in Hanzhong? Why was it built in the second year instead of immediately? Many mysterious stories are waiting for future generations to discover, while restoring the most authentic Zhuge Liang! "The green hills are still there, and the sunset turns red several times.
"The world has gone through vicissitudes of life. Today's Zhuge Bagua Village is the largest settlement of Zhuge Liang's descendants discovered so far. The architectural layout of the village is arranged according to the "Eight Arrays" style, and a large number of ancient dwellings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties have been preserved. It is the only ancient cultural village in China and unique in the world.
