Zhuge Liang s Northern Expedition was essentially a shocking gamble with a small and big game, why d

Failure is because the strength is not as good as Cao Wei, if you don't go on the Northern Expedition, then when Cao Cao recupers and captures it, everything will be over, and the north is in whose hands, and the world is in whom's hands.

First of all, we all know that the strength of Shu is very different from that of Wei. Moreover, the Northern Expedition relatively increased the manpower consumption of Shu, which led to the development of Shu more slowly.

Or because of their own strength and geographical location is difficult to succeed, first of all, Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, in that Liu Bei's failure to conquer Eastern Wu led to the national strength of Shu Han is very weak, each Northern Expedition needs to walk a very steep mountain road, the consumption of grain and grass is very large, in the national strength is not strong, each Northern Expedition is not a large population, it is difficult to succeed.

Because it was seen through, the purpose of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition had long been seen through by Cao Wei's strategists, so the purpose of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition had never been achieved.

Correctly, the significance of the Northern Expedition lies in two aspects: first, to unite the people and unite foreign countries; The second is Zhuge Liang's political ideal: to restore the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital. Let's talk about bringing people together. Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others entered Sichuan and belonged"Foreign regimes"。

<> Liu Bei was a northerner, and his subordinates belonged to the northern group. Zhuge Liang has lived in Jingzhou for many years and belongs to the Jingzhou Group. These two groups broke into Sichuan, overthrew Liu Yan, and seized power in Sichuan.

The local ** and landlords in Sichuan were intimidated by the force of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang and were forced to submit. Zhuge Liang is the representative of the Jingzhou Group, while Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others are the representatives of the Northern Group. Qiaozhou is the representative of Yizhou Group.

But the Sichuan group was actually not satisfied, although Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also tried to show favor to the Sichuan group, such as appointing many people as officials.

Contradictions are irreconcilable. Liu Bei's Northern Group and Zhuge Liang's Jingzhou Group entered Shu and occupied a dominant position and obtained a large amount of material resources, which originally belonged to the Sichuan Group. In the eyes of the Sichuan Group, they occupy or occupy the resources that originally belonged to the Sichuan Group, so they are not satisfied.

There are deep contradictions between foreign blocs (Northern Group, Jingzhou Group) and Sichuan Group.

In order to reconcile this contradiction, Zhuge Liang could only turn the internal contradiction to the external one, that is, the Northern Expedition and the Northern Wei Dynasty, which could gather the manpower of Shu and let the three groups focus on the affairs of the Northern Expedition, reduce the intensity of internal strife, and maintain the legitimacy of the external group and the internal stability of Shu, which has achieved the goal of long-term governance. In addition, Zhuge Liang's political ideal was to revive the Han dynasty and return to the old capital. Shu was originally a dove occupying a magpie's nest and snatching it from Liu Zhang.

Therefore, it is difficult for the foreign Jingzhou people and the Bashu aborigines to be of one heart and one mind. Once the external situation eases, it is easy to create internal confrontation. War is undoubtedly a means of diverting contradictions, diverting attention, internal and external disasters.

Because Zhuge Liang wanted to be unified before he died, he knew that if he didn't unify after his death, there would be more serious problems.

He just wanted to warn Liu Chan through the Northern Expedition that he should stop just eating, drinking, and having fun, and now the situation is very serious.

He didn't want to be in Chengdu at that time, and he was entrusted by Liu Bei at that time to fulfill Liu Bei's last wish.

It was because the troops of Shu were too poor, and the logistics supply was insufficient, but Zhuge Liang could only go on a northern expedition in order to complete Liu Bei's great cause, so it would fail.

It was because it was not the best time at that time, and the time and place were not realized at all, which greatly increased the difficulty of the Northern Expedition.

Because the national strength of Shu was insufficient at that time, and Cao Wei's strength has always been very strong.

It was stumped by the iron bucket soldiers and horses set up by Sima Yi, and they were unable to overcome this formation at that time, so they failed again and again.

was stumped by Cao Wei's insistence, Cao Wei knew that Zhuge Liang used soldiers like a god, and it was difficult to transport grain and grass in Shu Han, so he used this trick Zhuge Liang.

Ming repaired the plank road and darkened Chen Cang, at that time, Zhuge Liang wanted to cross Chen Cang, but he was directly recognized by Cao Wei's famous generals, which was very difficult.

Because the strength of Wei was too strong compared to Shu, they not only had a large number of troops, but also a large population, so several northern expeditions failed.

Because Cao Wei's strength is too strong, and the gap between Shu Han and Shu Han is too big, no matter how powerful he is, he can only return in vain.
