The turning point of the Three Kingdoms Shu from prosperity to decline?

I think the turning points are all connected.

First, first of all, the Shu State was in a situation at that time and went out of Qinchuan and received Hanzhong. But Guan Yu.

Seeing the victory of the Sichuan and Shu wars, Guan Yu Annai couldn't help his heart for merit, and once "Longzhong to the middle" also said, "Ordered a general to take the army of Jingzhou to Xiang Wan and Luo, and the general led the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan", so he went out to the north, but Jingzhou was attacked by Lu Meng, Guan Yu died, Shu's vigilance against Eastern Wu needed to have, and Jingzhou was rich in products, the road was smooth, Jingzhou was lost, and most of the military grain and grass of Shu were gone. The burden on the Northern Expedition of Shu was even greater.

Second, Liu Bei.

Because of Guan Yu's death, he had no thoughts of serving the country. Single-mindedly avenging Guan Yu, losing the initiative of the Northern Expedition at that time, the soldiers had no intention and marched eastward, but the battle of Yiling was set on fire by Lu Xun and wiped out. The loss of most of the elite of Shu is equivalent to a major setback to the military strength accumulated over the years.

Among them, Zhang Fei also died, and the generals of Shu had gone to the second, and then the generals left one after another. As a result, the forces of the Northern Expedition of Shu at that time needed to be re-reserved.

Third, the promotion of Shu is insufficient, Kong Ming.

Doing it yourself, although you do it properly, but also give others the opportunity to perform. The monarch is incompetent. There are no generals in Shu, and Liao is a pioneer.

Fourth, Sima Yi.

Gradually occupying the power of Wei, Kong Ming's Northern Expedition faltered.

First. It was Guan Yu who attacked Xiangyang and Wancheng. And lost Jingzhou.

Second. It was Liu Bei who launched the battle of Yiling with the soldiers of the whole country. If you win. then the country's momentum soared. If you lose, you will fall into the trough. Liu Bei was defeated.

Third. The lack of talents in Shu. As a result, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition is still using talents who follow the ancestors. The only foreign population is Jiang Wei and Xiahou Ba. Can a country be strong without talent?

Fourth. Zhuge Liang's continuous northern expedition. In the end, only a few counties were obtained. And these counties have not been saved. It's almost a waste of national power. I just can't give up.

Fifth. There is little land in Shu. The population is smaller.

The population is smaller. You pay the same taxes. There are many others.

Of course, you will receive more. If you have fewer people, you will receive less. If you increase your taxes.

The people were miserable. There is a high risk of loss to other countries. lead to your loss.

Sixth. There is little land. Less grain is grown. The state has no money.

Seventh. After Zhuge Liang died of illness. There is a turning point from decline to prosperity. It is Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, and Dong Yun who inherited Zhuge Liang. Three. The three of them were successively generals. All three of them took a recuperation. The vitality of the country has only recovered somewhat.

Eighth. Jiang Wei's continuous Northern Expedition. Not an inch of land was obtained. On the contrary, it wastes national strength. Plus the mediocrity of the emperor. Huang Hao's dictatorship. Jiang Wei is a dignified general of a country. was forced by a eunuch to avoid trouble.

Eventually led to the demise of the country.

Let's see which way to look at this problem.

Speaking of the Shu Han regime.

It has to be said that the Shu Han regime is actually divided into three different periods.

The first is the reign of Liu Bei.

Before Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, the military power of the Shu Han regime was the strongest.

After the Battle of Yiling (that is, Lu Xun's burning of the company camp), the military power of Shu turned from prosperity to decline.

The second is the reign of Zhuge Liang.

Then I agree with the "Ma Tan Lost Street Pavilion" mentioned earlier

The third is the reign of Liu Chan.

At that time, it was basically a period of accumulation and decline, so there was no prosperity, so it could not be said that it had turned from prosperity to decline.

PS: If you look at the sum of the three periods.

In terms of Shu Han alone.

I am more inclined to "lose the street pavilion", because I think that during the reign of Zhuge Liang, before leaving Qishan, the military strength of Shu Han had surpassed that of Liu Bei.

If you say to make a horizontal comparison.

It is very good to compare the military strength of the three countries with each other.

Before the loss of Jingzhou, the military strength of the three countries was the closest.

"Losing Jingzhou" is the real turning point of Shu Han.

The biggest turning point should have been the Battle of Hanzhong.

Although Liu Bei won, when we can find that this battle dealt a devastating blow to Liu Bei's national strength, "Ding men are in service, and Ding women are cultivators" is a portrayal of Xichuan at that time.

Therefore, we can see that not only was Liu Bei unable to advance on the Western Front later, but also the plan to defeat Eastern Wu after the loss of Jingzhou was also overstretched, and it was not implemented until more than a year later, and the root cause was the excessive attrition of the Battle of Hanzhong.

I don't think Shu has ever flourished at all, so it should be from decline to decline, that is, Liu Bei started from Liu Bei's chaos after he got old. There were not many talents in Shu, and there were basically no talents when Zhuge Liang took power. Therefore, it was difficult for Shu to win at the beginning, and the later talents were all old and died, so they had no chance at all.

Liu Bei went east to conquer Sun Quan and was burned clean by Lu Xun. The battle of Yiling burned Liu Bei's ambitions. Liu Bei Xiaoxiong, he has never won several battles in his life, why did he get sick this time?

Because the strength is gone, Shu is short of people, and tens of thousands of soldiers will be lost in one battle (the number is to be examined).

From then on, Zhuge Liang could only take offense as defense, and repeatedly provoked Cao Wei, but there was no way, he had no strength.

Liu Bei attacked Sun Wu, in the name of revenge for Guan Yu, in fact, it was Liu Bei's strategic stroke, and only by destroying Eastern Wu could he compete with Cao Wei, otherwise the Three Kingdoms could only die first in Shu Han.

Zhuge Liang is a political talent, so he doesn't understand Liu Bei's strategy, and when he beheads Ma Tan, it is too late to regret it.

Liu Bei's expedition to the east of the state of Wu caused the national strength and population of Shu to be severely damaged, and in the following decades, he has been trying to recover. This failure has made the national strength of Shu the lowest among the three kingdoms. Fortunately, there is a Zhuge Liang Liding who supports the internal politics of Shu, otherwise it would have been over.

Also because of Zhuge Liang's strict law, the troops of Shu were regular, and there was no flexible training of talents, so that there were no more brave soldiers in the later period. Liu Bei's failure and Zhuge Liang's rule caused the decline of Shu.

After the battle of Dingjun Mountain, the Shu Han Liu Bei group began to float. Fa Zheng is dead, Guan Yu is dead, Huang Zhong is dead, Zhang Fei is dead, Huang Quan is rebellious, Pang Lin is rebellious, Ma Liang is dead, and Feng Xi is dead. These are the humerus humerus of Shu Han.

All this stems from the reward given to Huang Zhong after Liu Bei's victory in the Battle of Junshan.

Hello. It's the Horse Lost Street Pavilion.

If Zhao Yun is allowed to guard Jingzhou Shu, there will be no power for the Northern Expedition, Guan Yu is too proud, Zhao Yun will fully follow Zhuge Liang's orders, there is no way to be nepotistic during the Three Kingdoms period, just because Zhao Yun is not the three brothers who swore to worship, so he has been unwilling.

In the battle of Yiling, Lu Xun burned the company camp.

Cao Wei had a lot of resources in the Central Plains.

Sun Quan's family business.

Liu Bei belongs to the group organized by the righteous spirit of the buddies.

To put it bluntly, the family background is different, and Shu is the weakest. Failure is not due to one person or one event.

Lu Yuhou burned 800 miles and the joint venture began.

Guan Yu lost Jingzhou.

Longzhong Pair regards Jingzhou as a strategic base for Shu's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, ignoring that "Jingzhou is in the upper reaches of Yangzhou, which is related to the security of Wu, and Sun Quan is bound to fight for Jingzhou, otherwise there can be no Wu State".

Before the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang never had a deep understanding of this, so they repeatedly competed with Wu for Jingzhou, and consumed more than 100,000 of the main force of the Shu army on the Jingzhou battlefield, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu also died for it.

Shu Han: At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the struggle between relatives and eunuchs continued, which made the government increasingly corrupt, and then the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.

But soon, He Jin and Dong Zhuo were defeated successively, and the situation in the world gradually turned into a melee between the princes.

During the heyday of the Shu Han Dynasty, it occupied Jingzhou and Yizhou, and after the battle of Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and Liu Beiyiling, the national strength was damaged, and then the national strength of Shu was restored by Zhuge Liang, and the southern and central regions were forced to submit, from which they obtained a large number of natural resources such as materials, population, equipment and minerals, and the national strength was strong again.

Militarily, Shu Han also often took the initiative, but gradually declined in the later period, and was finally destroyed by Cao Wei, who was controlled by the Sima family.

There are many reasons for the decline of Shu The later generals of Shu died almost Liu Adou was too incompetent Plus the later Shu generals helped If it weren't for Zhuge Liang, he might be the first of the Three Kingdoms to perish (Five Tiger Generals) Guan Yu died in battle Zhang Fei was killed by his subordinates Huang Zhong was very old when he was under Liu Bei Ma Chao died of illness Zhao Yun died of old age Wei Yan rebelled Liao Hua died in battle Zhang Yi died in battle (Xiao Guan Zhang) Zhang Bao fell to death Guan Xing died of illness Wang Ping died of illness After the original generals all died, the general's sons also died young, resulting in no fierce generals in the later period of Shu When Liu Bei was alive, his prestige was very high, and many fierce generals voluntarily defected to Liu Chan, who couldn't help Adou, who had no prestige, only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, so no one wanted to follow him If it weren't for Ma Tan's loss of the street pavilion, Zhuge Liang would not have been so tired Six out of Qishan Plus Zhuge Liang died of exhaustion Before Jiang Wei could return to defense, Liu Chan surrendered I also think that Shu is a pity.

The hardships of the founding of the country, the gradual strengthening of strength, the Wuhou auxiliary government, the three generations of Zaifu, the destruction of Shu Han, experienced many wars, and finally perished.

Shu experienced the Battle of Yizhou, the Battle of Qizhou in the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, experienced many military events, and also experienced the country's rekeying and reform, and the most circumstantial omen led to the destruction of Shu, these are all events experienced by Shu.

Hello, the answer to your question is this: Kong Ming died of overwork, and the Kingdom of Shu was not destroyed because Kong Ming died, but because Liu Bei used his incompetent Adou, and Shu was destroyed in his hands. I've said so much, I have to be.

The most direct reason is that there is no successor, and there are too many talents lacking in each position! It's not a problem to have no talent like Wei Guo! Can a person with an IQ and a force of more than 90 and a score of 60 be able to resist?

There is no successor, the comprehensive national strength is not comparable to Wei, and the unification of the world has become an irreversible trend.

Zhuge Liang must bow down to everything, everything is prepared for Liu Chan well, he did not teach the queen how to deal with state affairs, the queen only knows how to play and have fun; At the end of the Shu Han Dynasty, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and others almost all died, old and old, lacking fresh blood. After the death of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others, Zhuge Liang was anxious for quick success, six out of Qishan, seven captures of Meng Shu, and all the national strength of Shu was used in the conquest without any achievements. . .

1.Actually, that's right. The economy decides everything After Guan Yu hung up and Jingzhou was lost, it was no longer possible to ensure his own safety with the power of Shu, let alone the Northern Expedition.

As for Zhuge and Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, in fact, the purpose has changed from chasing the Central Plains to self-preservation. Use the power of all Shu to strike at the Northwest Land. Allow yourself to live a few more years.

However, it was subject to the conditions at the time. It can be said that food limits development. And not demographic restrictions.

At that time, the yield of 200 catties of wheat per mu was already a bumper harvest. After Jiang Weituntian ten years later, the remaining grain was not enough for a Northern Expedition, which shows the low grain output at that time. Detailed].

Zhonghui Deng Ai divided his troops into the Han Dynasty, and all the rivers and mountains were Cao.

Go to see the article "Two Warriors Fighting for Merit" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Jiang Wei, who is both civil and military, lamented that even if he won the world

Liu Chan is too incompetent, Cao Cao is too strong.

I think there are the following reasons for the fall of Shu:

Politically: 1 Shu has always been under the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty, but in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was corrupt, and the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty has long been unable to win the support of the people, so the theme of Shu has a big problem.

2 In addition, Liu Bei's methods when he entered Sichuan were not very glamorous, and the contradictions between the old subordinates of Jingzhou and the local forces in Yizhou were inevitable after entering Sichuan, which led to a lack of unity within the ruling class.

3 After Zhuge Liang's death, the politics of Shu were not enlightened, and the eunuchs were in power, no different from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Economically: Although Shu is known as the land of abundance, how can a piece of land with a large palm compare with the powerful Central Plains region and the affiliated Jiangdong?

Militarily: First Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, so that Shu lost almost half of the land, and then Liu Bei defeated Wu, Shu's vitality was greatly damaged, and the main force was lost. Later, Zhuge Liang's several northern expeditions failed to win a city or a pool, but the cost of money greatly weakened the strength of Shu, and Jiang Wei's northern expedition was more like the end of a strong crossbow.

The strength of Shu was completely lost in all previous wars.

Throughout history, few of the seized regimes in Sichuan, except for Liu Bang, have been able to dominate the world.

The demise of Shu is a major event.

1.Shu was supposed to be in a corner of peace, and its national strength was not good, so it was enough to be a country within a country.

2.Zhuge Liang's monopoly on power has led to many talents having no room to play, such as Wei Yan, the plan of a generation of famous generals to attack Meridian Valley was stifled.

3.Zhuge Liang was reckless and wanted to transfer the internal contradictions of Shu to the outside world, but the war consumed too much manpower and material resources, and Shuzhong could not withstand the toss even if it was a country of abundance.

4.Internal disharmony, Liu Bei was originally an external force to the people of Shu, and it was easy to conflict with the scholars and doctors in Shu, and the Confucian Legalist way of governing the country hurt the interests of these people.

5.External imbalance, this is the same as the destruction of Wu, the collapse of the Sun-Liu alliance, neither of the Sun and Liu families has the ability to resist Cao Wei alone, only the alliance can achieve the effect of the three-legged, the breakdown of the alliance means that the northern forces will be able to break the two families. Of course, the responsibility for the destruction of the coalition army in Shu is not great, mainly because after Lu Su's death, the successors Lu Meng and Lu Xun lack long-term strategic vision.

In addition, the first strategist in Shu is not Zhuge Liang, but Fa Xiaozhi. Zhuge Liang does not belong to the category of strategists in Shu.
