The northern expedition is actually a kind of? Take offense as defense? . Many friends think that the national strength is weak, and Zhuge Liang should recuperate and save his national strength in Shu, which is simply a big mistake. You know, while Shu Han is recuperating, the powerful Cao Wei is also waiting for the opportunity to accumulate strength; Cao Wei's economy, national strength and military strength are much stronger than Shu Han's. If Zhuge Liang does nothing, in a few years, Cao Wei's army will make a massive expedition to the west, and even if Shu and Han unite, they can't resist it. Zhuge Liang once described his mental journey of sending troops to the Northern Expedition in "A Teacher's Example", that is, if we don't cut off the thief, Wang Ye will die. Instead of sitting around waiting to die, which one is it? .
Judging from Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he caused trouble to Cao Wei and consumed his strength. On the one hand, to support the war by fighting, and to manage Shu Han in an orderly way, have you really achieved yourself? Take offense as defense? Strategic objectives. In fact, Zhuge Liang made five northern expeditions. What else? Warlike? It has nothing to do with this. We can see that Zhuge Liang repeatedly violated the border between Cao and Wei, which was also a plunder of Cao and Wei's national strength. Fighting to support the war? The embodiment. In many northern expeditions, the border people of Cao Wei suffered a lot, but in Shu Han? The country is rich, and the warehouse is real? It can be seen that Zhuge Liang's strategic goal has indeed been realized.
To sum up, what is the purpose of Zhuge Liang's invasion of the Northern Expedition? Take offense as defense? .
