I Am Guan Xing of Shu Han

When I saw the author saying that Zhuge Liang's military strategy was incompetent, I thought there might be some deviation in the author's understanding of the Three Kingdoms. First of all, the original and complete statement of this sentence is from Chen Shou's Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: Talents are good at governing the army, clever plans are shortcomings, and managing the people is better than general strategies. Do you see the connection? This is a whole sentence. It is said that Zhuge Liang's governance level is higher than (Zhuge Liang's) military level. And his level of training troops is higher than his level of leading troops to fight. Zhuge Liang is comparing himself with himself, not with others. So what is Zhuge Liang's military level? The answer is yes. We have to understand a truth. Zhuge Liang did not need to fight the battle himself in the early days. At that time, there were several generals, the elites of Yishu were there, and the elite soldiers were also there. However, Liu Bei, who was strong-willed and heroic, and did not hesitate to mobilize the Shu Han army to avenge Guan Yu, sent almost all the best of the Shu Han to Yiling, and even killed many second-generation and grass-roots experienced elites and elite soldiers. Under this situation, Zhuge Liang restored most of Shu Han's national power after several years of governance. At this time, Zhuge Liang had to lead his troops to fight in person. But he can't use Qi, because the national power of Shu Han does not support him to do this. Cao Wei can use it, Soochow can use it, but Shu Han cannot. Qi Ming is essentially gambling on probability, but Shu Han only has so many soldiers, so Zhuge Liang can only push steadily. Sima Yi was indeed a cunning man, and he saw this, so Sima Yi just delayed and defended, knowing that the Shu Han could not fight a protracted war. But this also illustrates Zhuge Liang's military ability - if it didn't work, Sima Yi would have taken the initiative to attack. It happened that no clever tricks were of use to the two of them, and the military could only fight head-on with each other.

Cao Cao's evil deeds: If a soldier dies, his wife will immediately be assigned to someone else. This system is really anti-human.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei actually have very different ideas. Why are their relationships so good? Guan Yu is kind to the soldiers and people at the bottom, and arrogant towards those in power. Zhang Fei is cruel to the bottom, and flatters the scholars and people in power. They have completely opposite ideas.

In the ninth year of the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan again. The civil and military officials of the Cao, Wei, and Manchu dynasties believed that Zhuge Liang would inevitably retreat because of the lack of food, and even wanted to harvest wheat from Gui, leaving Zhuge Liang with nothing to plunder. What is surprising is that based on this conventional judgment, Cao Wei almost lost the entire Longyou. In this Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang summarized the experience of the past three Northern Expeditions and made adequate preparations. First of all, wooden oxen were used to transport grain, which caused Cao Wei's misjudgment of Shu Han's logistics; secondly, Zhuge Liang no longer divided his troops. Although he was frustrated again under the Qishan Fort, he built Lu City and began a long-term siege. Cao Rui learned that Zhuge Liang had sent troops and immediately sent Sima Yi and Zhang He for reinforcements. Based on the experience of Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition and the fact that the Shu army had not penetrated deeply into Longyou, Zhang He believed that Zhuge Liang might attack from the west and attack the east. He suggested dividing his troops to defend Yong and Yi and block Chencang Road and Baoxie Road. Sima Yi was keenly aware that Zhuge Liang's real target this time was Longyou, so he rejected Zhang He's suggestion to divide his troops. Zhuge Liang heard that Sima Yi's army was about to arrive at Qishan Fort, and he also learned the lesson from the defeat of Jieting. Instead of delegating others, he personally led the main force and suddenly appeared in Shanggui, directly attacking the Wei army's logistical weakness. Sima Yi hurried back to Shanggui, but Zhuge Liang had already harvested wheat for two days. Fortunately, Cao Rui had made several orders to protect the wheat, and continued to send troops to support Sima Yi, and finally retained some wheat, which would eventually save Sima Yi. After the wheat was harvested, one of the two sides camped and defended itself, while the other gathered troops and retreated to the danger. They faced each other, and neither of them went to war easily. During the confrontation, Zhuge Liang suddenly withdrew his troops, leaving Sima Yi confused. He didn't know where Zhuge Liang had gone. In view of Zhuge Liang's previous raid on Shanggui, he had to carefully search for Lucheng (King Xuan Liang went to Lucheng) , Zhuge Liang's whereabouts were still not found. Although he could contact Qishan Fort, he still did not dare to launch an attack to rescue the siege. Even though he was ruthlessly ridiculed by Zhang He, he still insisted on searching for Zhuge Liang's main force (King Xuan refused, so he searched for Liang). After finally finding Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, who had been knocked unconscious, continued to "climb mountains and dig camps", acting like a coward, hoping that the Shu army would run out of food. However, after a month of confrontation, Sima Yi couldn't hold on anymore. There was a drought in Longyou and there was a shortage of food. Zhuge Liang cut the wheat again. Coupled with the strange move of the wooden ox, the Shu army was able to hold off the Wei army this time. In desperation, Sima Yi had no choice but to take the lead in attacking, but failed miserably. However, in later records, there appeared a contradictory record: "The emperor attacked the siege and escaped at night. He pursued and defeated it." It is necessary to know that Sima Yi ordered Zhang He to divide his troops to attack Wang Ping's southern siege. It is only possible that he himself conquered the northern siege where Zhuge Liang's main force was. According to Zhuge Liang's southern campaign Using a false camp to lure Meng Huo, and Sima Yi's later sigh when he watched Zhuge Liang's camp, combined with Zhuge Liang sending Wei Yan and Wu Ban to "refuse", there is every reason to believe that Sima Yi was also deceived by Zhuge Liang's camp this time, and was counterattacked by Zhuge Liang, which led to failure. After the Battle of Lucheng, Sima Yi could only continue to retreat. Kebineng from the north had already entered Shicheng in the north (it is said to be in Gaolan County, Gansu today) and was about to form a pincer attack on Longyou. Sima Yi was also at the end of his rope (at that time, King Xuan also ran out of food). Under the extremely critical situation, Cao Wei had to quickly discuss transporting grain from Guanzhong and sent Wei Zhen to march into Hanzhong, hoping to get Zhuge Liang to return to the army. Fortunately, Guo Huai urgently collected grain from the Qiang and Hu people (Huai used his power to caress the Qiang and Hu, and sent his family envoys out of the valley to pacify their transportation. The army had enough food and sent it to General Wu), and went to Gui to stockpile wheat, so Sima Yi was able to barely support him. However, the Shu Han side lost control. Li Yan neglected his duties and failed to supervise the grain and grass management, which ruined the good situation.

Who among Guan Ping and Guan Xing will inherit the title? It seems that it was Guan Xing in the novel, but of course Guan Ping had already died at that time.

I really like Shu Han novels. It doesn't matter whether Jingzhou is captured or not. The key is that Guan Yu must be captured. In addition, I hope the author can create a powerful character for Cao Cao's clan. Cao Zhen died early, leaving no one in Cao Wei's clan to suppress Sima Yi, so I hope the author can make up a character who can compete with the protagonist when Sima Yi usurps power. Do you like it?

Today, the second master really left us. In memory of Teacher Lu, we will never see the second master again.

Isn't Guan Yinping younger than Guan Xing?

In the end, he was still a eunuch, which was a pity for a good book.

Now Sun Quan's troops are too scattered and have been defeated in many places. Guan Yu has more troops than Sun Quan. He can regain Jingnan and get the complete Jingzhou.
