Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times, Jiang Wei attacked the Central Plains nine times, why didn

Cao Wei didn't consider Shu at all, and the cost of taking the initiative to attack couldn't be worth it at all.

We are mainly considering the situation after Cao Cao's death, because since the Battle of Cao Cao's Red Cliffs, it is difficult to gather enough living forces for large-scale operations. And why Cao Pi did not carry out military action against Shu Han is actually a multifaceted consideration, which is very similar to the political propaganda offensive of the United States to adopt a joint blockade against the Soviet Union during the Cold War:

.Strength of the front

This is also what we just mentioned, Cao Cao's strength was greatly weakened after the Battle of Chibi, and until Liu Bei's death, Cao Cao still suffered heavy losses on the southwest front and the central and southern fronts respectively, which greatly restrained the deployment of troops in the southeast, and the entire front facing Shu was affected, and it took a long time to recover. This is Cao Pi's very wise choice, during his reign, the main thing is to choose to recuperate, prepare for war and wait for the enemy, "war is to burn money", this food, soldiers and horses Cao Pi are clearly calculated.

Wu Shu contact

Cao Wei has always adhered to the political decision of attacking Wu first and then Shu, and compared with Shu, Cao Wei did not want to see Sun Quan in the south become bigger and stronger. After Sun Quan seized Jingzhou, without losing his main strength, he almost wiped out Liu Bei's elite, and the real three-point world has been unbalanced, and Sun Quan is capricious and categorically untrustworthy, so Shu is not under Cao Wei's attention.

Geography

After Liu Bei lost Nanjun, there was only one way left in Hanzhong that could really attack the Shu army, and Guanzhong was not restored, Hanzhong was almost emptied, and your Cao army could only go to grab food halfway, didn't you go to send people's heads.

To sum up, Cao Wei did not take the initiative to attack Shu because the actual conditions were too poor and the environment was limited.

The road to Shu is difficult, and it is not easy to enter Sichuan. Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty wrote that it was difficult to write about the Shu Road, and it was difficult to go to the blue sky, which can be seen that in the eyes of the predecessors, entering Sichuan was a relatively difficult thing, and for Cao Wei, the Eastern Wu in Jiangdong, although there was an antenna of the Yangtze River, it was also difficult.

In history, Cao Cao did not attack Liu Bei, Sima Yi, Cao Shuang, and Deng Ai all fought against Shu. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms said, "Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan in six ways". In fact, Zhuge Liang has launched 5 Northern Expedition wars, and the six Qishan are just interpretations.

Compared with Liu Bei's frequent northern expeditions, Cao Cao's southern expeditions were less frequent.

The reason why Cao Wei did not attack Shu was not because of how strong Shu was, in fact, Shu was the weakest among the three kingdoms. The reason why Cao Wei did not attack Shu was mainly because of the dangerous terrain of Shu, Li Bai has a poem: Shu is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, it can be seen that the terrain of Shu is dangerous, and it is not easy to enter Sichuan.

Due to the dangerous terrain of Bashu, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to attack Shu, you must have a large-scale deployment of troops, at least 100,000 troops, and you must lose a lot of military food, grass and ordnance. This will not only greatly deplete Wei's own strength, but also cause the Central Plains to be empty, creating an opportunity for Sun Wu to take advantage of.

The loss of a large number of troops and materials will inevitably affect the development of Great Wei itself.

Especially in the later period of Cao Cao, Wei's strategy was to deal with Sun Wu first, and then pacify Liu Bei and Shu, and this strategy extended from Cao Cao to Cao Pi and Cao Rui. In the end, the reason why Cao Wei pacified Shu first was because Jiang Wei's reckless military force created conditions for Sima Zhao to destroy Shu.

In addition, in the later period of the Shu Kingdom, domestic resources were scarce, and the Shu Kingdom did not have too much oil, water and benefits.

Therefore, it is completely correct to say that Cao Cao attacked Shu State extraordinarily.

Because of the dangerous and notoriously complex terrain of Shu, Cao Cao did not know enough to attack directly. Therefore, Cao Wei did not take the initiative to fight Shu.

Zhuge Liang adopted a strategy of attacking and defending, Cao Cao attacked less often, and the terrain of Shu was dangerous, so Cao Wei did not take the initiative to fight Shu.

Cao Cao actually took the initiative to fight Shu, but compared with Zhuge Liang's six northern expeditions, Cao Cao attacked less often, and the terrain of Shu was dangerous, so it was not a good choice to take the initiative to attack.

Liu Bei ruined his family, and the class contradictions in Shuzhong increased. In the long run, Wei will only lag further behind, and the combination of the two requires Shu to resolve these contradictions through war.

The first is because Zhuge Liang adopted a strategy of attacking and defending, and the second is because the terrain of Shu is dangerous and notoriously complex, and Cao Cao does not know enough to attack directly.

The reason why Cao Wei did not attack Shu was mainly because the terrain of Shu was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to attack Shu, you must have a large-scale deployment of troops.

Mainly because Shu has natural hazards as a barrier, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Zhuge Liang is very difficult to attack, so it is not cost-effective to take the initiative to attack.

Because Cao Cao didn't know enough about the topography of Shu, he didn't dare to go directly, and the topography of Shu was notoriously complex and curved, and it was difficult to attack.

Because the place where Shu was located at that time was a very dangerous place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as an outsider, I didn't know the terrain there, so I didn't dare to go rashly.

When the landlord says in and out, he should be referring to the road. After reading the history books, I learned that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Kong Ming went out of Qishan and Jiang Wei attacked the Central Plains for the ninth time, and the road in and out was the Golden Bull Road. So what is the reason why Kong Ming and Jiang Wei took the Golden Bull Road? Look down.

Where is Qishan? According to the information I consulted, in the era of Shu Han, the approximate location of Qishan was near Qishan Town in Lixian County, eastern Gansu todayKong MingThe only passage in and out of Qishan is a place called Jinniu Road. Originating from the late Neolithic period, the Golden Bull Road was developed and built by the Xia, Shang and Zhou, Qin, Western Han and Eastern Han dynasties before the Three Kingdoms, because it was the closest passage in and out of Gansu and Sichuan.

Anyone who has read the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms should know that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is such a passage that Zhuge Liang's "six out of Qishan" is due to the report "the kindness of the first emperor's three visits to the thatched house, and the heavy responsibility of the White Emperor's city to entrust the orphan". This sentence means to say, Kong MingSix times out of Qishan, is to repay Liu Bei's kindness, in Xiangyang Longzhong three times to visit the kindness and last wishes of the thatched house, and in the White Emperor City, to assist the first emperor's son Liu Chan in the important task. From 228 to 234 years of Shu Han,Kong MingEvery year, he has to go out of Qishan to assist Liu Chan, which is famous in historyKong MingSix out of Qishan origin and reasons.

The beginning of Jiang Wei's ninth expedition to the Central Plains occurred around 227 of Shu Han. At that time, Kong Ming, while assisting Liu Chan, also had another intention, that is, he wanted to use Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition to achieve a situation of attacking and defending. Because Shu is the weakest of the three kingdoms, it will often face the invasion of Wei and Wu, among them, the most threatening is Cao Cao's Wei.

Wei and Shu are considered to be a pair of mortal enemies, and the border between the two countries is in the Qinling Mountains and the Qishan area, so when Kong Ming assisted Liu Chan, he always wanted Jiang Wei to follow him to attack Wei. When Jiang Wei invaded the Central Plains for the ninth time, in fact, Kong Ming was also in command, and from the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains in Shu Han 227 to Kong Ming's death, Jiang Wei has been following Kong Ming to fight Cao Wei. After Kong Ming's death, Jiang Wei did not stop attacking the Central Plains, but persisted until the fall of Shu.

If it weren't for Liu Bei's visit to Kong Ming's thatched cottage three times and asking him for something, I don't think Kong Ming would have left Qishan six times to repay Liu Bei's appreciation. However, Kong Ming's approach was correct, in the process of leaving Qishan, he reported a list of teachers to Liu Chan, and suggested that the army should be raised to the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and then there was the story of Jiang Wei's nine expeditions to the Central Plains. I think that Jiang Weijiu's courage and wisdom in conquering the Central Plains are very commendable, but after the loss of Kong Ming, the military strategist of Shu, the national strength is declining day by day, which may be related to the continuous war, otherwise the Shu State would not have perished.

Jinniu Dao, this road is the only way for them to enter and exit this place, Kong Ming and Jiang Wei are Liu Bei's subordinates.

The Golden Bull Road, this road is very important, belongs to the traffic artery, and its status is very high in ancient times.

The Taurus Road, which is a place with a unique location, is a particularly critical road.

I think it's both. In terms of strength, Zhuge Liang is indeed super strong. But there are also a lot of very capable opponents on the other side. Soldiers are also strong soldiers. Luck doesn't take much advantage.

Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan six times, and he didn't really want to recover the Central Plains. In fact, he has always had his own ideas, not because of strength and luck.

The strength is not good, because the logistics of Shu Han have been fighting for many years, so the failure is predictable.

Shu is weak, there were a few times when he was about to win, but the fool Liu Chan called Zhuge Liang back again, he is not a god, can he withstand the toss? It's no wonder he doesn't hang. Jiang Wei is unable to support it alone, and he will definitely not be able to destroy the Wei State.

The Shu State of the Three Kingdoms is the weakest in China, the least populous, and the least developed in the economy among the three countries, so from the beginning of the founding of the country, the East and the Eastern Wu are attacking and defending against Wei, and from the historical facts, Shu does not have the strength to destroy Wei.

Because of the terrain, economy, military and many other reasons, in fact, it can't be destroyed at all, at most it can defeat Chang'an, even if the Han dynasty is restored, it can't be done if it is really destroyed.

Wei's national strength was far superior to that of Shu and Wu. Six out of Qishan, nine expeditions to the Central Plains are only drinking to quench their thirst from the most tactical victories, unable to defeat the Northern Wei Dynasty strategically.

The strength of Shu is the weakest among the Three Kingdoms, and Lu Xun burned the company camp and burned the elite of Shu.

There are political and economic reasons, and there are also military reasons... You can take a look at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Zhuge Liang's five expeditions to Qishan (actually 4 exits) and Jiang Wei's nine expeditions to the Central Plains (actually 8 expeditions) were all offensive and defensive.

Zhuge Liang's name is immortal because of the Cao family's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang's five out of Qishan for the restoration of the Han Dynasty, the name is justified, although there are many times, but only 6 years. Later, Jiang Wei was called Shu Kou, how to destroy Wei.

I see that Wei is strong, and Shu Han is powerless.

It's not that Liu Bei couldn't sleep because Guan Yu died, and the army attacked Wu and drained his family. What was left for Zhuge Liang was just a mess, just like that, the military advisor relied on his ability to guard for decades, and his ability can be seen, Lao Liu didn't take Zhuge Liang with Zhuge Liang when he wanted to avenge Guan Erye, and he could see it with the White Emperor City Tuogu, it is estimated that he was also going to gamble, and if he won the bet, he could take revenge and come back with a solid explanation to himself, and if he lost the bet, he went with his brother, and the Shu Kingdom was given to Kong Ming, it was impossible for Lao Liu not to know what his son was, Zhuge Liang for the sake of face and for the grace of knowing the situation, Dedicated assistance and in order to fulfill Lao Liu's wish and realize the he once bragged about (Longzhong), it is really unforgiving, and age is not allowed to die with regrets!

First of all, war is about economic strength. The population of Shu Han has always been less than one million (960,000 at the time of surrender), about 100,000 soldiers (100,000 and 400 at the time of surrender), and more than 40,000 officials. That's one soldier for every ten people, and four for every hundred.

It can be seen that the burden on the people is heavy. During the same period, the population of Wei was around three million. In addition, the policy of Tuntian has led to economic development.

Then, there is the question of command, although Zhuge Liang is a politician, but he is a military hard-handed. The so-called six out of Qishan, take the initiative to attack five times, and defend once. Except for the killing of Wang Shuang and the ambush of Zhang He, no results were achieved.

In terms of Cao Wei, since Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming, Sima Yi, Zhang He, and Guo Huai are all famous generals who are "both grand in force and well-prepared". And the Wei army's policy of static braking is very accurate.

Finally, there is the question of people's hearts and minds. The Northern Expedition of the Shu Han Dynasty was under the banner of recovery, but the Han Dynasty had been in decline for a long time and its appeal was not strong. Cao Wei greatly revitalized the tuntian, rested with the people, developed production, and let the displaced people settle down.

The challenge of Shu was to re-disrupt their lives, so they did not get a response.

Child, flip through the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, what, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is **.

For the Shu State, these battles did not suffer many great results, but cost the people and money, but Zhuge Liang's active attack strategy was correct, avoiding being in a passive situation, and gaining the initiative to start a war. For the Wei State, this kind of painless fighting style cannot pose much threat to it, and it is completely consuming the national strength of Shu and laying the foundation for the demise of Shu.

If you only look at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you will find that the reason for Zhuge Liang's failure to Qishan is that most of them are either unable to keep up with the grain and grass supply in the rear, or they are like Ma Tan in front, which seems to have nothing to do with Zhuge Liang, this is actually to excuse him again, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has written Zhuge Liang as a god. It is recommended that you go and take a look at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which does not even have an empty city plan, which shows that there is no such thing as an empty city plan in history. This is the difference between ** and history books.

As for Jiang Wei, he is actually the continuation of Zhu, and even has kung fu that Zhuge Liang does not have.

Liu Bei ruined his family, and the class contradictions in Shuzhong increased. The long-term development will only lag further behind the Wei state, and the combination of the two requires the Shu state to resolve these contradictions through war, such as the battle of Guandu, the battle of Chibi, such a victory that turns the tide of the world...It's a pity that I fail every time, knowing that I can't do it.

Kindness: Leaving the Northern Expedition, Keding the Central Plains was Zhuge Kongming's important task of repaying Liu Xuande's kindness and entrustment (after bowing to his best and dying); Military: Zhuge is well aware that living in a corner of the world and being independent of the internal policy for a long time is tantamount to sitting still.

Only by taking the initiative to go out and focusing on attacking, can it be possible to recover the Central Plains and revive the Han Dynasty; Tianshi: Sima's comeback gave Zhuge a great deal.
