Ask Zhuge Liang s fire beast if there really existed in history

When Zhuge Liang pacified the south, he suffered a defeat: the southern king Meng Shu used beasts as soldiers, and used elephants, tigers, bison, wolves and other beasts to defeat Zhao Yun and Wei Yan's soldiers and horses. Zhuge Liang had an idea, and he thought that beasts were afraid of fire.

So a few days later, he invented a beast-like, vermilion, fire-breathing ** to deal with Meng Huo's beast soldiers. You have to look at history, whether there is or not, basically no one knows, and imagine for yourself how many years it has been that what happened in that period has been passed down from generation to generation. How many decades have passed, passed down to our generation, the dead can be said to be alive, and the current TV series Romance of the Three Kingdoms is like this, is there anything in history that has been added, do you know that one is true and that one is false?

History Three Kingdoms , there are 4 versions of our generation that I know alone? Do you believe that version of the Three Kingdoms ? There is also that Yi Zhong Tianpin Three Kingdoms, what basis does he have to say that the things of the Three Kingdoms period, did he see it with his own eyes or experienced it?

Therefore, what has not been seen is not necessarily nothing, and what has been passed down from generation to generation may not necessarily be there.

No. Are you looking at the Three Kingdoms or watching **?

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is also**Oh, hehe!!

Hope it helps, if it works for you my answer is, thank you!!

Historical records. Source] Jin Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms, Shu Zhi, Zhuge Liang Biography" records: "Liang is long in ingenuity, profit and loss even crossbows, wooden oxen and flowing horses, all out of their own minds; Deduce the Qiu Fa and make eight arrays, which is salty. ”

In the above, according to legend, Zhuge Liang's invention of the "Zhuge Repeater", "Wooden Ox Flowing Horse", and "Eight Array Diagrams" are all mentioned, but there is no mention of "fire beasts".

There exists in the wild history, but there is no official history.

Fire beasts? I don't have to listen to it, and I have seen too much fantasy.

No. The burning of the upper valley was made up by Luo Guanzhong, the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in order to explain that "the sky helps Cao but not the Han", which is a typical manifestation of Luo Guanzhong's support for Liu and Cao Cao. And since it is apocryphal, no matter what the reason, there will be a sudden heavy rain, and the fire will inevitably be extinguished, and it is impossible for Luo Guanzhong to let Sima Yi die at the hands of Zhuge Liang, and it would be too much to tamper with history to write like that.

This plot is completely fictional. According to historical books such as "Three Kingdoms Shu Shu Hou Main Biography", "Zhuge Liang Biography", "Wei Shu Ming Emperor Ji", "Jin Shu Xuan Di Ji" and other historical books, during Zhuge Liang's last Northern Expedition, Emperor Wei Ming Ming Ming ordered Sima Yi to defend the wall and wait for work, Sima Yi also knew that he was invincible to Zhuge Liang, so although the Wei army occasionally clashed with the Shu army, it basically could not hold out. Zhuge Liang challenged repeatedly, and even ordered someone to send Sima Yi women's clothes and ornaments in order to provoke him, but Sima Yi was still unmoved.

Emperor Wei Ming also ordered Xin Bi to be the general's military division, and he went to the festival and forbade him to fight. The two armies held each other for more than 100 days, and Zhuge Liang was never able to fight a decisive battle with Sima Yi, and finally died of serious illness in Wuzhangyuan. It can be seen from this that the 102nd chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" wrote about the defeat of the Shu army at Weiqiao, the Wei general Zheng Wen's fraudulent surrender was discovered, Sima Yi was lured and robbed and returned from the defeat of the village, and the 103rd chapter wrote about the burning of the upper valley and other plots, all of which are fictional.

However, as a ** family, if Luo Guanzhong narrates it completely according to historical facts, then wouldn't Zhuge Liang's last Northern Expedition be too dull and dull? Wouldn't Zhuge Liang's death also seem bleak because of this? Of course, Luo Guanzhong didn't want to do this.

Therefore, in order to successfully create the image of Zhuge Liang's wisdom, Luo Guanzhong gave full play to his romantic imagination and carefully designed the above plot. In particular, in "Burning the Upper Valley", Sima Yi first wrote that Sima Yi carefully inquired about Zhuge Liang's whereabouts, until he was sure that Zhuge Liang was in the upper valley, and then set up a plan to attack the east and west, which can be described as very careful and safe; Then wrote that Sima Yi finally fell into the trap set by Zhuge Liang, so he had to hold his second son in the raging fire and cry loudly, and sit and wait to die. This vivid and tortuous plot once again shows that Zhuge Liang's wisdom is higher than Sima Yi's, making his clever calculations shine again.

However, the historical fact that the Shu and Wei armies held each other without fighting constrained Luo Guanzhong after all; In particular, Sima Yi, as the commander of the Wei army, still had a series of major struggles and exploits waiting for him in the future (Sima Yi died in 251), and it was impossible for Luo Guanzhong to fabricate the ending of his capture and killing as he did for Pan Zhang, Lu Fang, Qin Lang and other minor figures. Therefore, although Luo Guanzhong can fabricate a thrilling fire to burn the upper valley, so that Zhuge Liang can win again in the battle of wits; But he had to arrange a shower to extinguish the fire, so that Sima Yi's father and son could escape from death, and Zhuge Liang sighed: The plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, and it is not strong!

This heaven is not a god in the underworld, but a merciless history. It can be seen from this that no matter how much imaginary genius and fictional freedom the author of historical romance has, he will feel helpless in the face of basic historical facts! In any case, the fictional plot of Burning the Valley Above the Fire has a lot of ups and downs, which makes the reader sometimes nervous, sometimes excited, sometimes regretful, and emotional**, which produces a good reading effect.

More importantly, this plot forms a strong contrast with the tragic and moving "Autumn Wind Wuzhang Plain" later, thus making a powerful foreshadowing for the completion of Zhuge Liang's image of a tragic hero who is talented and knows that he cannot do it, and has received very good artistic results.

No, Sima has been stationed on the Western Front for 6 years, and the two have only really fought once, and Sima was completely defeated. Since then, Sima has not been able to hold out. Later, he was transferred to Xiangyang.

Of course, the valley above Gojogahara.

Handsome, height 184,"Its appearance is very great", handsome.

His talent is not to say, he is very smart, and his appearance is handsome and imaginary, which is more in line with people's psychological needs.

Liang rarely has the talent of Yiqun, the instrument of heroism, 8 feet long (, the appearance is very great, and the people are different.

The description of Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Zhuge Liang" is: "Eight feet long, very great, and different people at the time".

Translated: Zhuge Liang is meters tall, dignified, and a 'handsome guy'

Actually, the point is talent!

Zhuge Liang has been artistically packaged in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is just a chapter back **, you can't look at it as history. But in fact, generally speaking, our research on the history of the Three Kingdoms is based on Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" and Pei Songzhi's annotations. The description of Kong Ming in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms is "eight feet long and very great".

Eight feet in ancient times, at least 1.8 meters tall. The appearance is described as "great", which is of course very handsome. And comparing himself to Guan Zhong Leyi shows that he has ambitions.

In this way, Zhuge Liang was a downright handsome guy in ancient times.

No, it's just ** that deified him and beautified him.

I think the ancients looked very similar.

Is this one? Everyone's feelings are different, but I don't think it's good-looking, and I can't be called handsome.

Collect Erchuan, line up eight formations, six out of seven capture, five zhang in front of the original, light thirty-nine bright lights, one heart only for three care.

Take the West Shu, set the south barbarian, the east and the north refuse, in the tent of the Chinese army, turn into gold, wood and earth to the gods, and the water surface can be attacked with fire.

Zhuge Liang, the word Kongming, was a politician and military strategist of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was called the emperor, served as the prime minister of Shu Han, and was later named the Marquis of Wuxiang and led the Yizhou pastor. During his reign, he made great efforts to implement the Tuntian policy, improve relations with ethnic minorities in southwest China, and promote local economic and cultural development. He sent troops to attack Wei five times, intending to the Central Plains, but failed to do so.

In the twelfth year of Jianxing (234 AD), he died of illness in the army of Wuzhangyuan (now Mianxian County, Shaanxi Province).

After Zhuge Liang's death, in order to commemorate his achievements, descendants once built a Wuhou ancestral hall in the place where he lived to commemorate him. Since the Western Jin Dynasty, the literati and writers of the past dynasties have come here in an endless stream to pay their respects, leaving a pair of well-known and famous couplets. Some of these couplets cleverly embed the numbers in them, which are ingenious and original.

Wollongong, located in Nanyang City, Henan Province, is said to be the place where Zhuge Liang cultivated in those years, where the scenery is elegant and the architecture is unique. There is such a couplet in the Wuhou Temple: "Collect Erchuan, put eight formations, seven capture and six out, and set up forty-nine bright lights in Wuzhang, one heart is only for three cares; Take the West Shu, set the south barbarian, the east and the north refuse, the Chinese military account according to the hexagram of gold and civil engineering, and the water surface can be attacked with fire.

It is not difficult to see from this couplet that the upper couplet is embedded with the numbers one to ten, and the lower one is embedded with the "five directions" and "five elements", which makes a high summary of Zhuge Kongming's life.

The Wuhou Temple in the southern suburbs of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, was built by Li Xiong of the Sixteen Kingdoms in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty to commemorate Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty. The ancient cypress in the temple is lush, the temple is majestic, and there is also a couplet here, which is to praise Zhuge Liang's merits in Shuchuan: "I am only cautious in my life, I capture the south seven times, and I go out to the north six times. Ten times the praise, eight formations of fame, two Sichuan blessings, the elite of the Quartet, three points of merit must belong to the father.

In addition, "two tables are rewarded and three are taken care of, and one pair is enough for a thousand years." This couplet only used a short ten words to praise Zhuge Liang's brilliant and wise talents, dedication and lifelong achievements. The so-called "two tables" refer to the two "Teacher Tables" made by Zhuge Liang for the great cause of Shu Han after entering Sichuan; Also "one pair" refers to the "Longzhong Pair" made by Liu Bei when he visited the thatched house, and Zhuge Liang has an incisive analysis of "three points of the world" in the text.

Shaanxi Province Mian County Dingjun Mountain has the mausoleum of "Wuxiang Hou" Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang was buried here after he died of illness in Sichuan and Wei, the Wuhou Temple here has such a couplet, it can be said that Zhuge Liang's life is covered with coffin. The couplet said: "Righteous gall and loyal liver, two tables since the Six Classics; Entrusted to the orphan, three generations and then one person!

He is a man who is good at governing the country

What was the real Zhuge Liang like in history?

This is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms**, the real history of Zhuge Liang only 5 times to attack the Wei State, 2 times to reach Qishan, and some have been miscarried, such as Wei Yan's loss of street pavilions, lack of grain and grass, and so on.

It was true that Sima Yi was burned, but it was not almost burned to death, it just made Sima Yi suffer a small loss. That is, Zhuge Liang wanted to withdraw his troops, Sima Yi hurriedly chased after him, chased to a canyon area, Zhuge Liang set up an ambush, burned Sima Yi, and Sima Yi suffered heavy losses, and Zhuge Liang retreated safely.

In fact, the confrontation between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi was, in the words of historians, only two and a half times. As for the statement of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it seems that Zhuge Liang fought Wei once, and Sima Yi came to resist, but in fact, in addition to dealing with Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi also had to clean up Gongsun Zan and Sun Quan's soldiers and horses in the north, as well as clean up the civil strife.

As for Zhuge Liang, regardless of the weakness of Shu, he forcibly sent troops for many years to attack the powerful Wei State. Some people say that this is a reckless force, eggs hitting stones, eager for quick success, we should first develop the agriculture of Shu, and make full preparations before fighting. Some people say that Zhuge Liang takes offense as the best defense, and this is a last resort, because offense can be played from all directions, while defense requires more troops than offense, so Zhuge Liang chooses offense as the best policy.

This needs to depend on everyone's own opinion, in short, my point of view: Zhuge Liang is a human being, definitely not a god, he has gains and losses, and he can develop Liu Bei, who weaves straw shoes, into a big local warlord, which is remarkable, and politically, he can stabilize the domestic economy and develop agriculture, which is also remarkable. As for his missteps in attacking Wei, the lack of training of successors, and his only understanding of tactics and not strategy.

That's also acceptable, people make mistakes. Even *** will make mistakes, so why are you so harsh on the ancient Zhuge Liang!

Treating the deified people in ancient times with a normal heart is the correct view of history.

I want to burn Sima Yi to death! It is recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

Back then, Zhuge Liang trapped Sima Yi because of his destiny, and Sima Yi's life should not be extinguished.

Zhuge Liang didn't expect it to rain in the mountains of Shanggu, so maybe this was Wuhou's miscalculation!

When Zhuge Liang burned Sima Yi in the upper valley, Sima Yi fled due to a sudden heavy rain, and there was no chance to confront Sima again. However, why didn't he shoot arrows at Sima Yi when the fire besieged Sima Yi at that time? And why didn't you set up 100,000 elite soldiers to surround the valley mouth early?

In my opinion, first of all, since it was to be burned with fire, there would be no more elaborate preparation of bows and arrows, and only some archers would be arranged at the valley where Sima Yi was likely to break through to shoot individual Wei troops who had slipped through the net, but such archers would not play much role against the Wei army that had already penetrated into the valley - preventing the Wei army from breaking through mainly relied on roadblocks such as rolling logs and the fire that ignited at the mouth of the valley; secondly, the upper valley is very deep, and the range of bows and arrows is limited, so it is difficult to play a role in mass destruction (when Zhuge Liang spoke to Sima Yi above, Sima Yi did not order the archers to shoot at Zhuge Liang, which is probably the reason); Third, there should not be too many ambushes at Taniguchi, otherwise it will be easy to be exposed. If 100,000 ambush soldiers had been set up at Gukou, I am afraid that they would have been discovered by the Wei army long ago. Again, to prevent the Wei army from breaking through and destroying the fires that they mainly relied on mines in the valley.

This plot is described in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it has not been recorded in the official history. But even though it is a ** family saying, this plot is not without reason: Zhuge Liang's attack on Wei was in the spring and February of the second year of Wei Qinglong (which is true), which is a season of warm and cold at first.

When Sima Yi was introduced into the upper valley, the Shu army ignited the gunpowder buried at the bottom of the valley, and the fire burned to produce a huge amount of heat and rise with it. Today we all know that precipitation is produced due to the convergence of warm and humid air currents. When the enormous heat rising from the valley floor above reacts violently with the strong cold air over the valley, a sudden heavy rain is a logical occurrence.

Zhuge Liang is not a meteorological expert, he is clear about the general meteorological laws, but he can't be strict with this kind of special sudden rainfall that he can't expect - of course, in fact, Luo Guanzhong doesn't understand the truth.
