    Why did Zhuge Liang, who was in the prime of his life, deteriorate to such a serious extent when he entered Shu? It should be said that this is caused by a variety of reasons, but the most likely reason is that it is likely to be the lack of adaptation to the soil and water and the climate, which led to the deterioration of Zhuge Liang's health.

    The lack of adaptation to water and soil will inevitably lead to a decline in Zhuge Liang's health. For a person living in Jingxiang, a sudden change in the environment will definitely have an impact on his physical health, or even a serious impact - just like a northerner suddenly goes to the south, or a southerner suddenly goes to the north, the change of environment will inevitably cause a period of discomfort. And the length of this "discomfort period" varies from person to person!

    Moreover, the climate of Shu is humid and foggy, which is not conducive to the health of Zhuge Liang, who grew up in the land of Jingxiang.

    According to the records, Zhuge Liang suffered from severe arthritis soon after he arrived in Shu due to unsuitable water and soil conditions and climatic conditions. So much so that not only could he not ride a horse, but even his walking was affected by this.

    It can be seen that Zhuge Liang does not have a special hobby of riding a four-wheeled vehicle. Rather, because he had limited mobility, he had to use a car to get around. Even if you take a step back:

    Even if Zhuge Liang likes to ride a four-wheeled vehicle, it is impossible to feel comfortable in the Shu land where the car is not square and the road conditions are extremely bad.

    And we also found that when Zhuge Liang was in the northern expedition to Cao Wei, even if the war situation was urgent, he never left the four-wheeled vehicle. The roads in Hanzhong and Yizhou are rugged and extremely difficult to pass, and even some places are so narrow that even cars are difficult to pass!

    The so-called difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, which is not a lie. Moreover, with the difficulty of the plank road and the difficulty of passing, if it weren't for Zhuge Liang's unacceptable hardship, it would be hard to believe that he would never leave the car and the car because he was obsessed with riding a four-wheeled vehicle!

    In short: Zhuge Liang likes to ride a four-wheeled vehicle, not for enjoyment, nor for eccentricity, nor for putting on a shelf and shaking his majesty, but because he has his own bitterness!

    First of all, Zhuge Liang was a literati, so his horse skills were not good, and he was not suitable for front-line command on horseback. Secondly, this small cart seems inconvenient, but it is actually a combat vehicle for operational command, and it can also boost the morale of its own army.

    Because he can convey to the soldiers that he has absolute certainty of victory in this battle while sitting in the car, he can boost morale.

    Because Zhuge Liang is not good at riding horses, he appeared on the battlefield in a small cart, and he also appeared more detached and detached, with a superior demeanor, which boosted the morale of the Shu army and gave the enemy a psychological deterrent.

    I think this is because Zhuge Liang is very confident in himself. <> Zhuge Liang knows very well the disadvantages of riding a cart, and the reason why he dares to do this is because of his self-confidence. He believes that he has the ability to control the situation on the battlefield, and everything is in his own planning.

    So, it doesn't matter what kind of car you take. It is possible to ride a horse or ride a cart, but Zhuge Liang obviously likes to ride a cart because it is more comfortable. In short, Zhuge Liang dared to sit on the cart so chicly, based on his confidence in his own ability.

    When Zhuge Liang appeared in front of the enemy in a cart, the enemy would be a little drumming in his heart when he saw it. On the battlefield, if someone is so calm, he must be a master. Moreover, it can give the soldiers of the Shu army a lot of confidence, and if their boss dares to fight so leisurely, he will definitely win.

    Even taking a step back, once the situation is unfavorable, the coach Zhuge Liang can't run fast in the cart, and he will inevitably advance and retreat with the soldiers, which invisibly gives the soldiers of the Shu army great confidence, so it can well motivate the soldiers of the three armies to be fearless and fight bravely to kill the enemy! <>

    In his mind, Shu Han's Northern Expedition against Cao Wei was not a provocation for no reason, but a kind of revenge, so he took a cart to boost morale. In fact, there is another important reason why Zhuge Liang has been sitting on the cart, that is, his deep grasp of human nature. Because he was sitting in an ordinary car, which would give his soldiers a hint.

    Even if the war is lost one day, he will not leave their soldiers behind. Of course, there are some objective reasons as well. It is said that Zhuge Liang was once injured because of horseback riding, so he no longer rode a horse, but chose to ride a cart.

    For people who have been injured, sitting is definitely much better than riding a horse, because riding a horse is very bumpy, and the injured Zhuge Liang must not be able to stand it, which is why he has been sitting. The above are my personal opinions, and I hope you will correct them more.

    It is because Zhuge Liang is very confident, he knows the disadvantages of this kind of car, he feels that he has the ability to control the final result of this battle, so he feels that he can take any car, and the cart is relatively comfortable, and in this way he can destroy the self-confidence of others.

    Because Zhuge Liang had the disease of arthritis, it would be very inconvenient to ride a horse, and it would also delay the trip to the war, so he could only take a cart and not pay attention to it.

    1. During the Three Kingdoms, science and technology were not developed, and there was no saddle book training and banquet horseshoes, and horseback riding required martial arts to hold the horse's belly with his legs. This is very demanding for the rider, not only physical strength but also good balance.

    2, Zhuge Liang, as a civil official, first of all, cannot meet the requirements physically, and secondly, riding a horse is more bumpy, but it is more stable when he rides in a car.

    3. At that time, Confucian people were more popular to sit in a sedan chair and take a car, and generally sat in a sedan chair, but the sedan chair in the sedan chair affected the speed too much when rushing to march and fight, so they chose to take the car. Not only Zhuge Liang took the car, but Sima Yi and other civil officials all took the car.

    The mounts of those cattle in the early period of the Three Kingdoms have exclusive names, Lu Bu has a red rabbit, Cao Cao has a stunning shadow, Liu Bei has Lu, Cao Zhi has a purple horse, and it becomes a four-wheeled vehicle when it comes to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" often takes a four-wheeled vehicle and shakes a feather fan when the two armies are facing each other, which creates a good artistic image of "if the commander loses Xiao Cao", causing many people to mistake Romance for official history, thinking that Zhuge Liang is not good at riding horses. Some people even said that after Zhuge Liang came to Shudi, he was unaccustomed to the water and soil, suffered from rheumatism, and could not ride a horse.

    The so-called Zhuge Liang is not good at riding horses, there is no need to read the official history, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are not only many episodes of Zhuge Liang riding horses, but even Zhuge Liang personally lures the enemy. Kong Ming led a team of unorganized troops, crossed the Jinyan Bridge, and played against Zhang Ren. Kong Ming rode a four-wheeled car, and the scarf feather fan came out, (Zhang Ren) made a move of the gun, and the military academies of all sizes came over.

    Kong Ming abandoned the four-wheeled vehicle, got on his horse and retreated across the bridge. "If Zhuge Liang is not good at riding horses, how can he lure the enemy in person.

    The statement that Zhuge Liang rode a four-wheeled bicycle is not found in the official history, and only exists in the ** notes. There is such a record in the Song Dynasty's "Analogy", Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi confronted, before the war Sima Yi wore armor to deal with military affairs, and the spies of the Wei army came to report that Zhuge Liang "rode in a plain car, a scarf, and a feather fan to command the three armies." Sima Yi sighed

    True celebrity also. Zhuge Liang went on a southern expedition to the north, and everywhere he went, the terrain was rugged and complicated, which was not suitable for riding. And once defeated, you have to ride a horse to escape, and every time you lose a battle, you have to leave a four-wheeled vehicle for the enemy as a trophy?

    Where is the military might? Zhuge Liang's life for the Shu Han regime exhausted, no matter how big or small, the salt is determined by the bright, there are Zhengshi Jane in the army who was scolded by the rod for more than 20 people have to personally interrogate, it can be said that the heart is broken, and finally died of illness in Wuzhangyuan. Many people deduced that Zhuge Liang had to sit on a four-wheeled bicycle because of his overwork and deteriorating physical health, and he could not ride a horse.

    This statement seems to have some truth, but it is actually untenable. Whoever kills the enemy, is angry. In ancient times, it was especially important to maintain high morale when marching and fighting.

    It is obviously unreasonable for a sick old man who sits in a wheelchair every day to command the war, and he sits so flamboyantly that he is afraid that others will not know that he is in a wheelchair.

    In the past, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, confronted Xiang Yu in Guangwujian, and when Liu Bang scolded Xiang Yu, he was suddenly hit by a cold arrow from the Chu army and was seriously injured. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Liu Bang endured severe pain, broke the arrow and said, you scumbag, you just shot my big toe. How could Ge Liang not understand the truth of this?

    There is also a view that Zhuge Liang's choice to go on the expedition by car is political. Zhuge Liang's four-wheeled car was a plain car, that is, a car that was not painted, decorated, or used for funerals, to show that he was the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and the crusade against Cao Wei, who usurped the Han Dynasty, was a revenge rebellion, not a nameless teacher.

    Judging from various historical materials, it is possible for Zhuge Liang to occasionally ride in a car during the Northern Expedition, but it is obviously an exaggeration to sit on a four-wheeled vehicle instead of riding a horse before the two armies face each other. The actor of Sima Yi of the old Three Kingdoms once complained about this, he Zhuge Liang was all filmed by car, I am really riding a horse!

    The reason why he dares to do this is because of his self-confidence, he believes that he has the ability to control the situation on the battlefield, and everything is in his own strategy. So it's not the key to what you take, you can ride a horse or take a small cart, but in comparison, Zhuge Liang obviously likes to take a small cart to appear, because it is more comfortable. In short, Zhuge Liang dared to sit on a cart so chicly, and the first cherry blossom was based on his confidence in his own ability.

    Sitting on the cart gives people a sense of self-confidence, feeling that they are very sure of the victory in the battle, and the morale of our army will be greatly increased, and the prestige of the enemy army will be killed. The soldiers will think that the prime minister is advancing and retreating with him, and what is there to fear from attacking the lead.

    First, Zhuge Liang is confident that he has this confidence. Zhuge Liang is very clear about the disadvantages of his small cart, and the reason why he dares to do this is because of his self-confidence, he thinks that he has the ability to control the situation of answering the imperial letter on the battlefield, and everything is in his own strategy. So it's not the key to what you take, you can ride a horse or take a small cart, but in contrast, Zhuge Liang obviously likes to take a small cart because it is more comfortable.

    In short, Zhuge Liang dared to sit on a cart so chicly, which was based on his confidence in his own ability.

    Second, the morale of the enemy army was destroyed and the prestige of the Shu army increased. When Zhuge Liang Youzai appeared in front of the enemy army in a small cart Qinglun, the enemy army saw that his heart was a little drumming, and there were people on the battlefield who were so calm and relaxed, they must be high-ranking people, so the morale of the enemy was a little shorter before the battle was beaten. Moreover, it can give the soldiers of the Shu army great confidence, and their own commanders dare to fight so leisurely, and they will definitely win.

    Even if you take a step back, once the battle situation is unfavorable, the coach Zhuge Liang will not be able to run fast in a small cart, and he will inevitably advance and retreat with the soldiers, which invisibly gives the soldiers of the Shu army great confidence, so it can be a good encouragement to the soldiers of the three armies, so that they are fearless in the face of the enemy army, and they are more courageous to kill the enemy!

    Generally, only when the legs and feet are inconvenient and cannot walk, they will choose to use a wheelchair, and in ancient times, there were no wheelchairs. When it comes to Zhuge Liang, for most people, everyone's impression is that he is holding a fan in his hand, and then sitting in a small car, directing the battle in front of the two armies.

    Everyone has seen it in the TV series more than once, and I don't know when everyone is watching it. Did you notice the fan in his hand and the car he was sitting in like I did? Is there such a question: what is the secret on the fan he is holding?

    Or is it just a regular fan? Why did he make a car? Aren't you afraid that it will be difficult to transfer when someone else calls?

    So when you ask this question, you will also be confused, yes, why?

    In ancient times, it was normal for literati to hold fans, and after Zhuge Liang, many people followed his example, which is the celebrity effect. But the fan Zhuge Liang took was not an ordinary fan. It was the dowry of his wife Huang Yueying when he got married, and it is said that there are many tiny handwriting on it.

    There are many tactics of war written on it, and every time he fights, he will take this fan and command thousands of troops and horses, winning victory after victory.

    But I'm more interested in the car he sits, everyone knows that Zhuge Liang's health is still very good, because he is not very old at that age, even if he is not in good health, he will not be in a wheelchair. And according to historical records, Zhuge Liang has no physical disability, but the car he is in is like a wheelchair that we are now familiar with, and it needs to be pushed. And now wheelchairs are still relatively flexible and lightweight.

    The car that Zhuge Liang was sitting in looked rather bulky.

    Besides, in ancient times, wars often had to take bad roads, and it was common to fight in the mountains. The mountain road is so bumpy, and it is not easy to walk in the mountains with such a car. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you can walk, aren't you afraid of being suddenly attacked by the enemy?

    It will definitely be difficult to transfer when the time comes. So the mobility of the car is so bad, why go to sit it? Some people say that it was because Zhuge Liang's previous life was Jiang Ziya, because Jiang Ziya followed King Wen and King Wu to fight at that time, and ran around with them.

    At that time, he was already very old, and when he died, he was reincarnated as Sun Bin. Because Sun Bin was later dug out of his knee, he couldn't walk anymore. But Zhuge Liang's legs and feet are very good and he can also ride a horse, probably because of the previous life, he chose such a comfortable way.
