There are several reasons for this. First, although it is known as the land of abundance, the development of ethnic minorities is slow, and the level of agriculture cannot be compared with that of the Central Plains. Second, it is difficult to go to Shu and to go to the sky.
In ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, and it seems difficult to transport grain on the Shu Road. Third, the sergeant of Shu State, light agriculture. The Shu Han regime was weak during the Three Kingdoms period, and in order to support the Han family, the strong young people all went to serve as soldiers to fight, leaving only the old people to farm at home, and the grain output was naturally greatly reduced.

Zhuge Liang is known as the most powerful wise man in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in addition to being resourceful in the use of military techniques, he also launched 5 Northern Expeditions. And Liu Bei, the first monarch of Shu, handed over power to Zhuge Liang when he was dying in Baidi City, hoping that he would help the later lord Liu Chan to stabilize the foundation of Shu, and let him continue to fight with the Wei army to recover the Han dynasty.
Therefore, even if Zhuge Liang knew that he was old and sick, he did not forget the explanation of his ancestors, and after settling down the Shu State, he began to send troops to the north to fight the Wei army. It is said that Zhuge Kongming has opened the Northern Expedition five times, but all of them are the result of failure, more than half of which is due to the fact that the road is too far, the road is rugged and difficult to travel, between the poor mountains and bad waters, the army can climb over with difficulty, but the grain and grass baggage team behind can not keep up, resulting in the front soldiers not receiving food and grass, and the soldiers can not eat enough for a long time, and the horses can not eat grass, so they are unable to advance again, so they are forced to retreat.
-
The country of abundance has a day when the grain is abundant, and Zhuge Liang's frequent northern expeditions will go north as soon as there is food, so that the country of abundance has no grain at all, and the northern expedition is also long, and it can't withstand long-term consumption.
-
This was due to the fact that the national strength was relatively weak at that time, and the treasury was relatively lacking, so this situation occurred.
-
This is to protect the interests of the country, but also to prevent damage to the country, to prevent the lack of military strength, and to inspire people.
-
Zhuge Liang was punished for a thousand years, and if he was punished for a thousand years, it was because they were not fully prepared that there were internal ghosts.
-
Military affairs in the middle of the valley grass will definitely die. It can be seen that at that time, the rear of the grain and grass ** became the main factor that plagued military operations. In the history of the country, we can see many places where the tragedy of not having crops has been recorded.
There has been no shortage of food for hundreds of years in the National Seven Heroes War, why Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was always short of food.
First, the chaebols in the six countries analyzed had almost no food shortages.
For example, the allusion to broken bones cooking, easy to eat and eating occurred during this period. In the famous Battle of Zhang Ping, when Zhao Guojun had a discussion before the battle, it was mentioned that Chen Guoyu had sufficient water transportation and logistical support for the battle, and could not resist.
However, Zhao Wangli scolded the soul heart, but still accepted a considerable part, and finally confronted each other for a long time during the battle, resulting in the Zhao army's poor food, so he could only ask Qi Guo to borrow food. (William Shakespeare, Hamlet, War) () Qi did not agree to Zhao's request, and Zhao was eventually defeated. Undernourishment is also one of the reasons that forced the Motherland to launch a counterattack.
But in the national era, warfare was generally in or near one's own country, and grain and grass were generally easily recruited and transported. (William Shakespeare, King, War) () The only Qin state that began to punish the other six countries could only wage war after food was guaranteed on the basis of efforts to develop agriculture. (invincible).
At that time, the Shang Dynasty Reform Law of the Jin State stipulated that the achievements of grain production were equal to the achievements of warfare, and rewards could be obtained through worship and cultivation. Therefore, the peasants of the Qin Dynasty were very enthusiastic about production. In addition, the Jin State adopted advanced farming technology to build water conservancy, which greatly increased the grain production of the Jin State.
This also laid the foundation for the unification of the world by the Qin State.
There has been no shortage of food for hundreds of years in the National Seven Heroes War, why Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was always short of food.
Secondly, analyze that Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was often short of food.
In the Three Kingdoms era, Zhuge Liang went north to Cao Wei. After Zhuge Liang received Liu Bei Togo in Baekje Province, he made it his responsibility to restore the Han family. Zhuge Liang repaired politics internally, developed production, expanded military strength, and quelled rebellions.
Zhuge Liang organized Eastern Wu, and then formed an alliance with Eastern Wu to jointly fight against Cao Wei.
After making all the preparations, Zhuge Liang boarded Liu Chan's famous "Teacher Table" and began his long Northern Expedition. After that, Zhuge Liang launched a total of five Northern Expeditions against Cao Wei, and in the end, Zhuge Liang won Wu Changyuan and ended the Northern Expedition.
-
Because they have been fighting all year round, they have participated in countless wars, large and small, and no country can withstand such a toss.
-
Although wars were often fought during the Warring States period, the scale of the battles was not large. The food consumed will not be much, and Zhuge Liang almost goes on a northern expedition every year. A lot of labor was requisitioned as a source of soldiers, so the shortage of food was very serious.
-
Because the scale of wars during the Warring States period was generally not large, and when Zhuge Liang attacked Wei, hundreds of thousands of troops were dispatched at every turn.
-
Shu is not short of food, but Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition transportation is very difficult, Shu Road is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. In ancient times, there was no highway, and once it encountered rainy weather, the transportation of grain and grass would not be able to keep up, so Zhuge Liang was always short of grain when he was in Beihua.
-
Because although Shu is fertile, it is necessary to use a lot of grain and grass for a long-distance expedition during the Northern Expedition, and he has too many Northern Expeditions. Therefore, it is easy to have a shortage of grain and grass during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition.
-
Because it was not easy for Zhuge Liang to be able to make five northern expeditions to the Central Plains from Shu, and it had to take a long time, so there was often a shortage of grain and grass at that time.
-
Although the land is fertile, a large number of young and middle-aged people had to be taken away during the Northern Expedition, and there will be a shortage of food if there is no one to cultivate.
-
Because Shu Dao is very difficult to conquer, it will consume a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, so there is always a shortage of food.
-
Seven Northern Expeditions in Zhuge Liang's life could not support such a huge expenditure with the national strength and productivity of Shu at that time, resulting in the final failure of each Northern Expedition due to a lack of grain and grass.
-
However, because of the discord between Li Yan and Zhuge Liang, they deliberately delayed the transportation of grain and grass. After that, it was because Shu was relatively backward in agriculture. So there is always a shortage of food.
-
The land of Shu is very fertile, not a shortage of food, because the roads in Shu are very difficult, it becomes very difficult to transport grain, and it is always impossible to transport to the front line, so there is always a shortage of food.

1. Wolong out of the mountainZhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period is "Wolong" such a title, the reason why Zhuge Liang was able to be given such a title by the world at that time is not a wasted name, Zhuge Liang because of his own talent and has been favored by many regimes, but in the end, only Liu Bei looked at the thatched house, still standing at the door of Zhuge Liang in the goose feather snow, so he got Zhuge Liang's help, Shu Han's great cause with Zhuge Liang's joining, it can be said that it is like a fish in water, Zhuge Liang's strategy also makes Shu Han's career thriving.
2. Go north to the Central PlainsA generation of heroes will eventually grow old, but Zhuge Liang is still wise in his old age. After Zhuge Liang entered his old age, he still had a very great blueprint in his heart, but unfortunately Shu Han was exhausted at this time. Zhuge Liang led the army north to the Central Plains many times, and fought with the opponent at that time, most of Zhuge Liang's many wars were in vain, the most important reason is because of the problem of grain and grass, Zhuge Liang in the process of conquest, the road is far away, and the grain and grass are difficult to be in time, so several wars have to give up halfway.
Third, the amount of reserves has declinedIn addition to the difficulty of transporting grain and grass to the line quickly and accurately, Shu Han's grain and grass reserves also declined sharply due to Zhuge Liang's many wars. Zhuge Liang led his elite troops to fight, among these elite troops, most of them are some young people, and those who stayed in Shu are some old people, women and children, they have no way to shoulder the heavy amount of agricultural work such as arable land, so the grain and grass production of Shu is very small, and the grain and grass that can be transported to the front line are naturally very few.
-
Because the Northern Expedition was a very food-intensive affair, the distance was relatively far, and there were more troops.
-
Of Zhuge Liang's five Northern Expeditions, only the third and fourth can be said to be victorious. The rest is because the food is gone, and the army is withdrawn.
-
Because the battle line of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was very long, it was difficult for grain and grass to be able to get on the road, and the enemy could only withdraw once he cut off the transportation of grain and grass.
-
Because the place occupied by Shu Han is very barren and the grain productivity is not strong, once the other party is not won in a short time, the grain will be useless.
-
Since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, there is only one person in history who has unified the world from Bashu and Hanzhong to Guanzhong. Everyone knows the story of the dark Chen Cang, when Liu Bang was named the king of Han by Xiang Yu, the territory was in Bashu and Hanzhong, and the Guanzhong area was the famous general Zhang Han, Liu Bang Ming asked Fan Hao to repair the plank road and pretend to feint to attack Longxi, and secretly sent Han Xin to lead the main force to attack Chen Cang from the old road, Zhang Han was defenseless and occupied Hanzhong.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei established the Shu Han Empire, Zhuge Liang 5 Northern Expeditions, wanted to enter Guanzhong in vain, with Zhuge Liang's wisdom and strategy, it is impossible not to know the allusion of the original secret crossing of Chen Cang, so why did Zhuge Liang not secretly cross Chen Cang?
Many people have interpreted why Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition failed from all angles, and today I will interpret why Zhuge didn't secretly cross Chen Cang from a cold knowledge? Historical records: Hanshu Gaohou Ji":
In the second year of Gaohou) in the first month of spring, **, Qiang Dao, Wudu Dao landslide. "Hanshu Five Elements Chronicles": In the first month of the second year of Gaohou, Wudu landslide, killing 760 people; **Until August.
That is to say, in the second year of the Lv Dynasty, that is, in 186 AD, 20 years after secretly crossing Chencang, there was a big ** in Wudu Dao, 760 people died, ** lasted eight months from the first month to August, and the large and small aftershocks continued. So what are the consequences of this **? As can be seen from the figure, the Wudu Da** made the old road blocked and impassable, and the main thing is that there was originally an important passage between Guanzhong, Hanzhong and Shu in the Western Han Dynasty.
Therefore, after the Qin State annexed Bashu, the grain of Bashu could be continuously transported into the Qin State and became the granary of Great Qin, and the Great ** also cut off the river at the same time, so that the Western Han River was diverted.
As can be seen from the figure, when Zhuge Liang entered the Guanzhong during the Northern Expedition, Hanzhong had four old roads, Bao Slope Road, Luogu Road, and Meridian Road. Although Zhuge Liang is a cattle man and invented the wooden ox flowing horse, Zhuge Liang is still short of food every time he goes on the Northern Expedition, so he can only fight a quick battle, and it is difficult to fight a protracted war. For example, the closest one and two northern expeditions out of Sanguan, surrounded Chencang, Wei general Hao Zhao held on, the Shu army failed to conquer, and Zhuge Liang ran out of grain to retreat.
And Liu Bang and Han Xin were really lucky, so the road seemed to be left for them to set up the Central Plains in Beiding, and once they completed the feat, the road was buried by **. Even if Zhuge Liang is capable, he is powerless to return to the sky. A **, making it difficult to get out of Shu to go to the blue sky, has become Zhuge Liang's lifelong hatred.
-
No, because the geographical location of Shu is relatively special, there are many high mountains, so it is very difficult to transport grain, and the Northern Expedition is always short of grain.
-
No, the main reason is that the rear does not have the ability to do a good job of logistics and supply, and it is also unable to do a good job in internal affairs to increase production.
-
It's not that the army is too edible, but it's too difficult to transport grain and grass, so later Zhuge Liang invented the wooden ox and flowing horse to transport grain and grass.
-
This is not the main reason, the main reason is that Shu has a small population and the food produced is also limited. It is difficult to feed an army of 100,000.
In fact, Zhuge Liang is too stable and unwilling to use the "Meridian Scheme", although this is an unsafe move, but at the time when Shu was no longer strong, this was also the only way to try.
In fact, this road was indeed very difficult by the time of Zhuge Liang. >>>More
Give Zhuge Liang another 30 years, and he will not be able to rule the Three Kingdoms. Because of the geographical location of Shu, there is not much grain planting, resulting in grain and grass can not keep up, and materials are relatively scarce, so the three kingdoms cannot be unified.
Zhuge Liang's evaluation of Ma Chao:
Zhuge Liang: "Meng Qi is both civil and military, heroic, the hero of the first generation, the disciple of Huang and Peng", "The reputation of loyalty, Su Fei, Ma Zhilun." "Three Kingdoms: Guan Zhang, Ma Huang Zhao Biography". >>>More
There are many reasons for the failure of this Northern Expedition, on the one hand, there is a shortage of food and grass, and on the other hand, there are not enough talents under his command to make this Northern Expedition successful.
