After the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei. Liu Bei had to take refuge in Liu Biao.

In order to get Liu Bei's counselor Xu Shu, Cao Cao lied that Xu Shu's mother was ill and asked Xu Shu to go to Xudu immediately. When Xu Shu left, he told Liu Bei that there was a wizard named Zhuge Liang in Longzhong. If he could get his help, he would get the world.

The next day, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took gifts to visit Zhuge Liang in Longzhong. Who knows that Zhuge Liang has just gone out on a trip, and extremely knowledgeable people can't tell when he will come back. Liu Bei had to go back.

A few days later, Liu Bei and Guan Yu. Zhang Fei braved the heavy snow and came to Zhuge Liang's home again. Seeing a young man reading, Liu Bei hurried over to salute. But that young man is Zhuge Liang's brother. He told Liu Bei that his brother had been invited away by a friend. Liu Bei was so disappointed that he had to leave a letter saying that he longed for Zhuge Liang's help to pacify the world.

After the New Year, Liu Bei chose a good day and came to Longzhong once. At this time, Zhuge Liang happened to be sleeping. Liu Bei asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to wait outside the door and stood quietly under the steps. It was a long time before Zhuge Liang woke up, and Liu Bei asked him how to pacify the world.

Zhuge Liang gave Liu Bei an analysis of the world situation and said, "Let Cao Cao dominate the north for one day and Sun Quan occupy the land in the south. The general can win the people's peace and the great cause of Xichuan, on a par with Cao Cao and Sun Cheng. " Hearing this, Liu Bei admired him and asked him for help. Zhuge Liang agreed. Zhuge Liang was only 27 years old that year.

Sworn brothers

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), the world was in chaos. The imperial court issued a proclamation ordering conscription. The list went to Zhuo Xian, which led to three heroes. Liu Bei is a descendant of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan in Han Dynasty. One day, he sighed while reading the notice. Suddenly, he heard someone behind him say, "A man doesn't want to contribute to his country. Why are you sighing here? " I introduced myself and said, "My name is Zhang Fei. I sell wine and kill pigs for a living."

After saying his name, Liu Bei said, "I want to contribute to my country, but I feel powerless, so I sigh!" " Zhang Fei said, "It's nothing difficult. I can take out my possessions, recruit soldiers and start a great cause. " Liu Bei was very happy after hearing this.

They came to a small shop and talked over drinks. Just as they were talking, a big red-faced man suddenly appeared outside the door, imposing and handsome. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei invited him to drink together. During the conversation, I learned that this man named Guan Yu had been living in the Jianghu for five or six years because he was loyal to Thanos. They expressed their opinions and talked very speculatively.

The next day, the three men came to a peach garden, lit incense sticks, worshipped heaven and earth as teachers and became brothers. According to age, Liu Bei is the eldest brother, Guan Yu is the second brother and Zhang Fei is the third brother. And vowed to "work together to serve the country." Since then, the three men have really achieved earth-shattering careers.

Borrow an arrow with a grass boat

Zhou Yu was jealous of Zhuge Liang and always wanted to find a reason to kill Zhuge Liang.

One day, Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang to make 65,438+10,000 arrows, saying that it would be 10 days. Zhuge Liang readily agreed and said, "I will send 65,438+10,000 arrows in three days." Zhou Yu was surprised.

Zhuge Liang borrowed 20 clippers and 600 soldiers from Lu Su, covered each boat with a piece of cloth and piled bundles of hay on both sides. After learning about this, Zhou Yu was very suspicious and wanted to know what tricks Zhuge Liang was playing.

Before dawn on the third day, Zhuge Liang called Lu Su and said, "Please go with me to get the arrow." Then, connect 20 clippers with long ropes and sail all the way to Jiangbei. At that time, the Yangtze River was foggy and there was no one on the other side. Lu Su didn't understand and asked Zhuge Liang what was going on. Zhuge Liang just laughed and didn't answer.

Soon, the ship approached Cao Cao's water village. Zhuge Liang ordered the bow to face east and the stern to face west, and the news spread. And asked the soldiers to beat drums and shout together. After listening to the report, Cao Cao said, "I'm afraid there will be an ambush in the foggy weather." Let the navy and army archers shoot arrows at them first, and then March when the fog clears. "So, the arrows rained down on 20 ships.

The arrow landed accurately on the densely arranged bundles. After a while, Zhuge Liang ordered the crossbow to overturn, and then lined up from west to east, so the other side was shot by an arrow. When the sun is about to rise, the fog will soon clear away. Zhuge Liang ordered the sergeant to sail and shouted together, "Thank you for the arrow!"

When the ship reached the south bank, Zhou Yu had sent 500 soldiers to wait for the arrow to move by the river. After unloading, there are 123000 arrows. Lu Su met Zhou Yu and told Zhuge Liang about borrowing an arrow. Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Zhuge Liang is really ingenious. I am really not as good as him! " "

Capture and release seven times

In 225 AD, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, led his army south to consolidate the rear. Just as we were preparing to withdraw our troops, Meng Huo, the leader of the southern barbarians, gathered defeated skirmishers to attack the Shu army.

Zhuge Liang learned that Meng Huo was not only brave and strong-willed, but also loyal to others. He is very popular among Yi people, even many Han people worship him, so he decided to win him over.

Meng Huo is brave, but he is not good at fighting. The first time I went into battle, I saw the Shu soldiers retreating, thinking that the Shu soldiers were defeated by themselves and desperately chased them. As a result, they broke into an ambush and were captured. Meng Huo decided that he was going to be executed by Zhuge Liang, so he told himself to die like a hero and not to be ashamed. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang personally untied him and persuaded him to submit. Meng Huo refused to accept the failure and refused arrogantly. Yan didn't force him, but accompanied him to see the military camp that had been arranged, and then specially asked him, "What do you think of the layout of this military camp?"

Meng Huo looked at it carefully. He found that the barracks were full of old, weak and disabled soldiers, so he said bluntly, "I didn't know if you were real before. I won for you once." Now I see your barracks. In that case, it is not difficult to beat you! "

Zhuge Liang did not explain, but smiled and let Meng Huo go back. He knew that the jar would come to steal the camp tonight and immediately arranged an ambush.

When Meng Huo returned home, he proudly told his servants that the Shu army was old, weak and beaten, and the layout of the barracks had been clearly seen. It's no big deal. If he robs the camp at midnight tonight, Zhuge Liang will be caught.

That evening, Meng Huo selected 500 swordsmen and quietly entered the camp of the Shu army. Nothing can stop them. Meng Huo was secretly happy and thought that success was imminent. Unexpectedly, the Shu army ambushed everywhere, and Meng Huo was captured again.

Meng Huo was captured one after another and never dared to act rashly again. He led all the troops back to the south bank of Shanghai, only defending and not attacking. When Shu soldiers arrived in Shanghai, they couldn't get through without a boat. The weather is very hot and there are many difficulties. Zhuge Liang ordered the construction of some rafts and bamboo rafts, while sending a small number of soldiers to pretend to cross the river, but when he reached the middle of the river, he immediately returned to the other side and then went to cross the river; On the one hand, he divided his troops into two ways, bypassing the narrow places in the upper and lower reaches and crossing the river to surround the uptown where Meng Huo was holed up. Later, Meng Huo was captured again.

Although Meng Huo was captured for the third time, he was still unconvinced. Zhuge Liang still didn't kill him; Entertain him and send him back. Some soldiers don't understand Zhuge Liang's practice and think that he is kind and generous to Meng Huo. Zhuge Liang explained to everyone: "If our army wants to completely pacify the south, we must reuse people like Meng Huo. If he can really contact southerners to work for the court, he can be worth 100 thousand troops. You work harder now, and you don't have to fight here anymore. "

After Meng Huo was captured and released this time, he made up his mind not to fight the Shu soldiers. But as time goes on. The camp ran out of food and sent someone to borrow food from Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang agreed, but asked Meng Huo to go out in person and fight with the generals of the Shu army. Meng Huo defeated several Shu generals in succession, but as soon as he got a lot of food, he tripped over the horse rope and was captured. Shu immediately gave the order to take the jar back and move the food away.

In this case, Meng Huo finally admired Zhuge Liang from his heart. In order to make all the tribes submit to Shu, he invited the tribal leaders to go with him. As a result, the Shu soldiers led them into an ambush and caught them all. Word came from the Shu camp that Meng Huo was going back, and many department leaders asked Meng Huo to be the main commander. What shall we do? Meng Huo said with tears: "I have never heard of that in the war, that is, seven times to catch (that is, six times to release and seven times to catch). The Prime Minister has done his best for us, and I have no face to go back. "

In this ocean, Meng Huo and others finally obeyed Shu Han and the jurisdiction.

Liuchu Qishan

Qishan, starting from Yan Guan in the east and reaching Dabaozi Mountain in the west, is located on the north side of the West Han River in Lixian County, stretching for 25 kilometers, gripping the throat of Shu and controlling the north and south. It was the ancient battlefield of the struggle between Shu and Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. Wuhou Temple in Qishan Fort is 25 kilometers away from Lixian County. Zhuge has a statue of Wuhou, and the plaques and banners inscribed by celebrities are magnificent, with aphorisms and exquisite calligraphy.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei and Shu competed to plunder the population of Longnan. Cao Cao plundered and moved more than 300,000 people in Longnan to settle in Guanzhong, while overseas Chinese settled in Wudu County and Fufeng County of Yangmei and moved to Xiaohuaili in Xingping County. Zhuge Liang also moved more than 65,438+10,000 households from Xixian County and still lived in Hanzhong. Later, King Fu Jian of Wudu led all the people into Shu, and Shu greeted Zhang Qian and bought white water, while Longnan belonged to Shu, while Wudu and Yinping counties still existed, belonging to Yizhou. Therefore, during the Three Kingdoms period, Wei and Shu each had a Wudu County, and in Guanzhong, Shu was ruled by Wudu County. In addition, Qishan County is located in the northeast of Lixian County and also belongs to Wudu County.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang of Shu attacked Wei Jun many times in order to capture Guanzhong and enter the Central Plains. In the spring of the first year of Wei Taihe (AD 227), Zhuge Liang led more than 654.38 million people into Hanzhong, plotting to attack Wei.

In the spring of the following year, Zhuge Liang led the army out of Qishan (now the northern bank of the Western Han Dynasty in southeastern Gansu). Tianshui, Nan 'an and Anding are all Shu countries backed by Wei. Wei Mingdi got scared and went to Chang 'an (now Xi) to bid. When the Shu army was at war with Wei Jun in Jieting, Ma Su, the striker, changed his deployment without authorization and abandoned the city to defend the mountain, which was defeated by Zhang He. Zhuge Liang won the first battle and lost the support for progress. But retreat from Hanzhong, behead Ma Su, and rectify the Shu army.

In December of the same year, Zhuge Liang led tens of thousands of troops to attack Wei again, left Chencang (now Baoji, Shaanxi Province), besieged the city for more than 20 days, and all the food was returned to the division. In order to isolate Wei Jun in Qishan and open up a source of soldiers, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan in the spring of the seventh year of Jianxing (AD 229) and recaptured Wudu and Yin Ping counties. Later, he sent troops to the west to appease the Qiang people. In the spring of the ninth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang led an army out of Qishan. Sima Yi, the general of Wei, received the overseers.

Zhuge Liang defeated Wei Jun in Shangguan (now Tianshui, Gansu), grabbed the wheat, enriched the rations and retreated to Qishan. Wei will be impatient and lead the army to catch up. As Wei Jun approached, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan five times and wiped out three thousand people. Sima Yi had to retreat and return to Shangguan. Just as Zhuge Liang led his troops in pursuit of Wei Jun, Han defended Li Yan, falsely passed the imperial edict of withdrawing troops, so he had to retreat, ambushed Zhang He at the wooden door (now Tianshui South, Gansu Province) and returned to Hanzhong. After three years' rest, Zhuge Liang left Qishan with 65,438+10,000 troops in the spring of the 12th year of Lite-Hing, and confronted Wei Jun, with an army of 200,000 troops.

Zhuge Liang challenged several times, but Sima Yi led the troops across the Weihe River and refused to defend. Zhuge Liang saw through the conspiracy of Sima Yi and others and entered Wuzhangyuan. In this way, the Wei and Shu armies were at loggerheads for more than four months. In August, Zhuge Liang died in the army, and finally the Shu army returned to Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan for six years. Although he made a painstaking plan, due to poor national strength and other reasons, the final result was minimal.
