    The crusade against the Shu Han regime was not Sima Yi's main purpose. The Shu Han regime and Zhuge Liang were still of great significance to Sima Yi. In fact, Sima Yi's feelings for Zhuge Liang are not as murderous as Zhuge Liang.

    In a sense, Sima Yi still likes Zhuge Liang very much, because it is because of Zhuge Liang's involvement that Sima Yi can be in charge of the army of the Cao Wei regime. Without Zhuge Liang's several Northern Expeditions, Sima Yi would have been difficult to reuse. It was precisely under the pressure of Zhuge Liang's several northern expeditions that the rulers of the Cao Wei regime would let Sima Yi go out of the mountains to fight against Zhuge Liang, and then let Sima Yi seize the opportunity to take charge of the army of the Cao Wei regime.

    Therefore, Sima Yi's feelings for Zhuge Liang are still very complicated, and he wants him to die but doesn't want him to die. If Zhuge Liang died, with Sima Yi's understanding of those in the Shu Han regime, it would be difficult for them to have the courage to carry out the Northern Expedition again. Without the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han regime, Sima Yi would not have found an opportunity to expand his influence.

    In fact, the reason why the Sima family was able to usurp the Cao Wei regime later was also the solid foundation laid by Sima Yi. Without Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, it would have been difficult for Sima Yi to find an opportunity to override the Cao Wei regime. So when Zhuge Liang died, Sima Yi's strategic focus shifted.

    He knew that if he did not overthrow the ruler of the Cao Wei regime as soon as possible, it would be difficult for him to find another opportunity to regain power. Sima Yi's strategic focus shifted from resisting the Shu Han regime to overthrowing the Cao Wei regime as soon as possible. Therefore, Sima Yi did not want to fight against the Shu Han regimeBecause Sima Yi himself was not used to attack the Shu Han regime, he was used to resist the Shu Han regime, and we have to figure this out in the north.

    The cunning rabbit died and the lackey cooked, and as soon as Zhuge Liang died, Sima Yi knew that there was not much time left for him. If he Sima Yi can't grasp the Cao Wei regime as soon as possible, then what does the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han regime have to do with him?

    The position was different, and the angle of view was different, and at that time, Sima Yi had already clearly distinguished what was his main contradiction and what was the secondary contradiction. At that time, the rulers of the Cao Wei regime did not think of letting Sima Yi lead his troops to fight against the Shu Han regime. Therefore, Sima Yi had no chance, nor did he have the heart to crusade against the Shu Han regime, he was afraid that if he really destroyed the Shu Han regime if he missed, it would be a great disadvantage to his plan.

    The first factor is that Sima Yi's service for Wei is a passive thing, after all, Sima Yi has despised Cao Cao from the beginning. confronted Zhuge Liang just to be able to compete with this master of soldiers, so there was no need for him to let himself risk in order to annihilate the Shu army in one fell swoop. Being able to leave such an opponent can be a good way to contain the footsteps of Wei.

    The second reason was confirmed in the mouth of Sima Zhao many years later, Sima Zhao said:"Even if Zhuge Liang is here, he can't be supplemented for a long time, and Jiang Weixie? "This sentence.

    The first is that he confronted Zhuge Liang only because he served the Wei State, but he didn't think about the Wei State in his own heart, and he also looked down on Jiang Wei, so he didn't attack the Shu State in the end.

    Sima Yi was a very shrewd man, and if you want to say why he didn't attack Shu, it was because he had more important things to do at that time, and it was much more important to seek his position in Wei than to attack Shu.

    Sima Yi waited for Zhuge Liang to attack with a strong Zen hand, once Zhuge Wang attacked with a strong attack, the possibility of failure was extremely high. Zhuge Liang, who is good at planning, can't take such a big risk. And Shu Han's strength is worse than Cao Wei's.

    This is because Zhuge Liang was under the specific environment at that time, he did not dare to risk his life, and he thought that Sima Yi's ability was comparable to his number of rounds, and if he attacked strongly, the possibility of victory was not very great, and the possibility of missing the opportunity and launching a surprise attack was not very large.
