Although, comparatively speaking, Liu Bei's personal strength is slightly inferior, he has Mr. Kong Ming around him and has great advantages in military strategy.
In addition, Liu Bei also has five Iliad generals: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong. These people's names are well-known, and their strength is first-class among the three countries with many civilian military commanders. So why can Liu Bei only get a small piece of this world?
This requires us to abandon the inherent concepts formed in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It is precisely because Liu Bei held the orthodox banner in the Han Dynasty that the author Luo Guanzhong, of course, praised Liu Beifang and turned Cao Cao, a traitor, into a treacherous villain. This sets a model for our thinking, so let's analyze objectively. Liu Beiwen has Zhuge Liang and Wu Iliad. Why can he only divide the world into three parts, but not unify the whole country?
In ancient times, when cold weapons dominated, geographical conditions were the most important factor in the war. So, first, geographically, Cao Wei is located in the Central Plains, close to the Yellow River, and is the birthplace of civilization; Wu occupies the rich south of the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River has a natural barrier. On the other hand, Shu lives in closed inland Sichuan. During the Three Kingdoms period, the economic center moved south, the Central Plains in the north remained the most developed place, and Jiangnan gradually began to develop, with a strong momentum. However, "Tao is difficult to learn, and it is difficult to go to heaven" can't take advantage of the situation, and the culture and economy are not as strong as Wei and Wu at that time.
Second, although there were Zhuge Liang in Shu, Cao Cao, who longed for wisdom, also had Sima Yi and Jia Xu, who were equal to Zhuge Liang, and Lu Su, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun in Wu. Although their fame is not as great as Zhuge Liang's, their strength can not be underestimated, and Zhuge Liang's fame is more or less deified in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so the strength of counselors in other two countries is not lost.
Third, the value of force. There is little difference in force between Wei Wuzi and Shu Wuhu. Taishi Ci, Huang Gai and Zhou Tai, the military commanders of the State of Wu, are also very capable.
Generally speaking, Shu has lost its advantage because of its unfavorable geographical position, and Liu Bei's slogan of "reviving the Han Dynasty" has been unpopular in that era of war and the decline of the Han Dynasty. The most important thing is that Zhuge Liang's various strategies have not been well implemented. After Zhuge Liang's death, the late ruler Liu Chan was incompetent, but he finally defeated Shu because he used too many soldiers.
