When it comes to Zhuge Liang, I think we are all familiar with it. Because even if we haven't watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", we still studied Zhuge Liang's "Chu Shi Biao" when we were students. Zhuge Liang was the prime minister of the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. He was not only a politician and military strategist, he was also an outstanding inventor. Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times and asked Zhuge Liang to come out. After coming out, Zhuge Liang tried his best to assist Liu Bei. It can be said that Zhuge Liang is a very famous counselor in the Three Kingdoms. As the saying goes, a tiger father has no sons, but for some reason, all of Zhuge Liang's sons are mediocre, and only one grandson is considered brave.
Zhuge Liang has two sons, the eldest Zhuge Qiao and the second Zhuge Zhan. Zhuge Qiao is Zhuge Liang's adopted son. Because Zhuge Liang never had a son, his brother Zhuge Jin adopted his younger son to him. Zhuge Liang was very strict with his adopted son Zhuge Qiao. Zhuge Qiao also served as an official in the Shu Han Dynasty, reaching the rank of Prince Consort Duwei and General Yiwu. Zhuge Liang often took Zhuge Qiao with him when he marched and fought, but Zhuge Qiao died of illness in 228 when he was 25 years old. Well, there aren’t many deeds. Unofficial histories also record that Zhuge Liang had a third son, Zhuge Huai, and Zhuge Liang's daughter, Zhuge Guo. These are mostly fictitious. They were written by people in the Qing Dynasty and are not recorded in official history, and they are very old.
Zhuge Zhan is Zhuge Liang’s old son, but Zhuge Liang did not dote on his son because of this, but strictly demanded Zhuge Zhan. Zhuge Zhan possesses many characteristics of "talents" at a young age, such as Zhuge Zhan's super memory and quick thinking, but Zhuge Zhan is a genius. Zhuge Zhan has shown a super memory since he was a child, but Zhuge Liang was worried that Zhuge Zhan was too precocious and might not be able to become a great person. Before he died, Zhuge Liang once wrote the "Book of Commandments", hoping that Zhuge Zhan would be a man of high moral character, humble and eager to learn. When Zhuge Liang died, Zhuge Zhan was only eight years old.
Jiang Wei personally led the main force of Shu Han to resist Zhong Hui's army at Jiange, while Zhuge Zhan was stationed at Mianzhu, the gateway to Chengdu. But his outcome was as Zhuge Liang expected. He was unable to defeat Deng Ai's army. Zhuge Zhan killed Mianzhu in battle. Liu Chan sent people to surrender to Deng Ai, and the Shu Han Dynasty was officially destroyed. It is worth mentioning that Zhuge Shang, the eldest son of Zhuge Zhan at that time, was extremely brave in literary and military skills. He once fought to a draw with Deng Zhong and Shi Tu on the battlefield. You must know that the two of them were fierce generals under Deng Ai. From this This shows Zhuge Shang's fierceness.
The attitudes and abilities of Zhuge Zhan and Zhuge Shang should also be related to their growth experiences. Although Zhuge Zhan was extremely talented, it was a pity that it was too smooth. Zhuge Shang has had the belief in serving the country since he was a child, so it is inevitable to be stronger than his father.
