1, the representative of the wise
In The Romance of Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang's wisdom and talent are embodied in two aspects. In the thirty-sixth episode, Xu Shu once said, "This man is almost inferior to this man in management and happiness every time he compares himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi. This man has the talent of heaven and earth and covers the world. "
Among them, Mr. Si Mahui, a water mirror, also praised Zhuge Liang as "Jiang Ziya in the 800-year prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty and Zhang Zifang in the 400-year prosperity of the Han Dynasty". Liu Bei went to the cottage twice, and through the description of the environment in Longzhong and the evaluation of Cui, he achieved the effect of "seeing Si Qi". All these describe Zhuge Liang's image as a wise man.
When Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang, the author also began to describe Zhuge Liang positively: "Since Dong Zhuo, the heroes have risen together and crossed the state and even the county", which is the famous three-point "Longzhong Dui". Zhuge Liang's wisdom can be seen from his conversation in the thatched cottage. It is really "before you leave the thatched cottage, you will know that the world is three points, and people through the ages are not as good as them!" " Zhuge Liang's cleverness and strategy are vividly displayed in both political and military aspects.
2. Outstanding politician
After coming out of the mountain, Zhuge Liang assisted Liu to come to power and made a series of achievements. But these are only preparations for the great cause of reunification in the future, and the ultimate goal is to consolidate one's military strength. When Liu Bei occupied Yizhou and Jingzhou, he always told Guan Yu who stayed in Jingzhou that the strategic position of Jingzhou was very important. He also put forward the strategy of "uniting Wu against Cao". Kong Ming knows that Liu Bei can't compete with Cao Wei alone, so it is good for both countries to unite Wu against Cao.
The significance of Jingzhou is that it is a transit point for the northern expedition to the Central Plains. The occupation of Jingzhou is the most crucial link in the great cause of reunification in the future, and its strategic position is important. After Liu Bei's death, Shu's national strength was empty and unsustainable. Zhuge Liang's great cause of reunification was blocked again, and he was forced to recuperate, expand the territory, use troops to go south, capture Meng Huo seven times, develop the economy, strengthen the military force and increase the population, all in order to complete Liu Bei's great cause of reunification.
3. Vivid military strategist
Chen Shou said that Zhuge Liang was "good at governing Rong, short of using troops, good at governing the people and good at planning" and "seeking change is not his strong point". In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Guanzhong highlighted Zhuge Liang's ingenious calculation with fictional writing, and shaped him into a strategist who fought like a god. Take Battle of Red Cliffs, who decided the fate of Liu Bei Group and the three pillars, as an example, Zhuge Liang was the most crucial person who decided the outcome of the war.
He contributed to the establishment of the Sun-Liu Alliance. Sun Quan's determination to resist Cao Cao was strengthened by him; Zhou Yu's Heroes' Club and Jiang Gan's Stealing Books, Huang Gai's stratagem and fraudulent surrender plan were all seen through by him. He and Zhou Yu jointly agreed on the key decision-making fire attack plan of the campaign; And can use the decisive east wind to carry out fire attacks.
Therefore, Zhou Yu held a grudge against him and tried to get rid of him many times, but he solved them one by one, leaving Zhou Yu helpless. Take care of Hanzhong, capture Meng Huo seven times and stay in Qishan six times, and set an empty city as a full display of Zhuge Liang's military strategy. In the struggle with opponents, he is always good at grasping the overall situation, improvising, taking advantage of the situation and firmly grasping the initiative in the war.
