First, Zhuge Liang, who was born in the Three Kingdoms in troubled times, actually lived a long life. In February 234, Zhuge Liang led 65,438+10,000 troops to carry out the fifth Northern Expedition. Sima Yi "refused to defend the city wall and waited for merit", but Zhuge Liang could not stand it any longer and was anxious to attack the heart. He died in the former Zhang Wu army at the age of 54.

Arguably, the age of more than 50 years old, in the ancient society with relatively low productivity level, is already the "year of know life".

Especially in the troubled Three Kingdoms, where the average life expectancy is only over 20 years old, Zhuge Liang died at the age of 54. According to Lu Chunqiu, although he didn't live long, he lived for a long time and died.

In this regard, in Liu Bei's will to Liu Chan, there is a golden sentence of "Don't do it because of small evils, don't do it because of small goodness". Liu Bei also said: "People who are 50 years old don't ask themselves to die, but they are over 60 years old. Why do you hate them and stop hurting yourself? " It can be seen that at that time, people over 50 years old lived a long life.

Compared with Cao Pi's 39 years old, Coss' 53 years old, Guo Jia's 37 years old, Xun You's 57 years old, Zhang Liao's 54 years old, Sima Shi's 47 years old, Si Mazhao's 55 years old, Zhou Yu's 36 years old, Lu Su's 46 years old, Monroe's 4 1 year old and Fa Zheng's 46 years old, Zhuge Liang's life span is not short.

Of course, compared with Zhang Zhao's 8 1 year-old, Sima Yi's 73-year-old, Sun Quan's 7 1 year-old, Cao Cao's 66-year-old, and Liu Bei's 63-year-old, Zhuge Liang's "But he failed to conquer and died, and the hero cried in his coat" really died a little early. What a pity.

Therefore, according to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang set up seven bright lights in his account by praying for the earth to prolong its life. If the main light doesn't go out within seven days, he can put his star position back on track and prolong his life 12 years. Unfortunately, on the last night, Wei Yan tripped over the main light, and Zhuge Liang failed to prolong his life.

Otherwise, Zhuge Liang can live to be 66 years old, and he can "hate again and stop hurting himself" like Liu Bei.

Second, several factors that caused Zhuge Liang's short life.

It is said in the above romance that Zhuge Liang failed to prolong his life because of Wei Yan's carelessness. Of course, it's just people's regret for Zhuge Liang's early death.

I'm afraid the real reason for Zhuge Liang's short life span has to be found from Zhuge Liang himself and listed in his palm, mainly in the following three aspects.

First, lack of physical exercise and irregular life.

We know that Sima Yi's longevity is mainly due to his frequent practice of Hua Tuo's "Five Birds Play", which is a way to keep fit.

As a helpless civil servant, Zhuge Liang didn't get enough physical exercise all his life, not to mention irregular work and rest hours.

When he was in Longzhong, he "dreamed big, and I knew it all my life." The thatched cottage is full of sleep in spring, and the sunset is late outside the window. "I eat irregularly, sleep irregularly and dream easily, so my life is extremely irregular.

When I came out of the mountain, I was either fighting with Liu Bei or preparing for the war. After Liu Bei died, it was a military and political event. Long-term fast-paced life is very harmful to physical and mental health.

In addition, Zhuge Liang can't ride a horse, and every trip is just "holding a feather fan and riding a unicycle alone", lacking the necessary physical exercise.

After Zhuge Liang took charge of Shuaiyin, he personally led the army to "cross Luzhou in May, go deep into the barren land, and have food every day." In three or four months, he conquered the southern barbarians in six months, left Qishan in six months and cut the Central Plains in five months. On a barren land, he fought in the desolate frontier for more than ten years. The geographical conditions are very difficult, so he didn't eat three meals a day on time. "He only eats a few liters of food a day", which increases the burden of his gastrointestinal function.

Zhuge Liang vomited blood many times in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, indicating that Zhuge Liang's irregular life led to peptic ulcer and other symptoms.

Second, lack of a healthy mentality, worrying about the country and the people.

After Zhuge Liang made his debut, he was under great psychological pressure, especially Liu Bei's insistence. When the Shu-Han regime was unstable, he decided to attack Wu, and he was quickly defeated and died, leaving Zhuge Liang with a regime trapped at home and abroad and a helpless young and ignorant man. As an important official, Zhuge Liang was "entrusted with a big defeat and ordered to be in danger", and his inner pressure can be imagined.

After Zhuge Liang was ordered, he "worried all night, fearing that the entrustment would be invalid, so as to hurt the understanding of the first emperor." On the one hand, he wants to pacify civil strife as soon as possible, develop production, reconcile internal contradictions among Jingzhou Group, Dongzhou Group and Yizhou Group and stabilize the political situation. On the other hand, he wants to do what he knows he can't do, and complete the unfinished business of "cracking down on Han thieves and reviving the Han Dynasty" entrusted by Liu Bei before his death.

So Zhuge Liang fidgeted, ate badly, slept badly every day, ate badly and was preoccupied. All his thoughts are how to repay the kindness of the former emperor Liu Bei and fulfill his last wish of recovering the Han Dynasty.

This kind of inner pressure can't be effectively relieved, and the long-term burden-bearing mentality of "doing my best and dying" has a great influence on his physical and mental health.

In addition, Zhuge Liang is very sensitive inside and pursues perfection very much. The repeated failures of the Northern Expedition made him worried and worried, which caused him a heavy mental burden. It is precisely because of the pursuit of perfection that everything should be watertight and perfect, and no mistakes can be tolerated.

For example, after the failure of the first Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang "killed Xie Zhong" and reported to Liu Chan at the same time, blaming himself for "poor appointment, ignorance, dark sympathy and handsome spring and autumn". Please lower yourself to the third class and take full responsibility.

It can be seen that Zhuge Liang is a person who pursues perfection very much and has a strong sense of responsibility. This type of people pay great attention to their own image and care about other people's comments. Therefore, when he fails to keep his promise to the world again and again, he will feel guilty, leading to long-term depression, which is very unfavorable to his health.

Third, lack of leadership, too tired.

This is a historical record about Zhuge Liang's "hands-on". Even if he was punished with 20 sticks, Zhuge Liang had to ask himself about such a small matter, which I am afraid was not the concern of an open prime minister and commander-in-chief of the three armed forces.

Under the prime minister, there are assistant ministers, long history, joining the army and main books. If everything is questioned, supervised and audited by the Prime Minister, it will inevitably lead to administrative dislocation, unclear responsibilities and low efficiency.

Look at the death of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang is in Shu Han, which is equivalent to the roles and tasks of Xiao He, Sean and Han Xin.

Zhuge Liang is "winning in a thousand miles"; "Town country, comfort people, give salary, never stop food" is also Zhuge Liang; "Even a million troops can win the battle and hold on" is Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang is, after all, a human being and a god. After all, a person's energy is limited. It is natural that he often overworked, overdrawn his life and died young.

It can be said that Zhuge Liang is completely exhausted!

Third, Zhuge Liang, who opened his brain, said that he would not live long. The first one, Yin De said.

In order to quell the rebellion of barbarians, Zhuge Liang introduced 30 thousand rattan armour soldiers into the valley and set them on fire.

Rattan nails are soaked in oil, and they are not afraid of water, but they are afraid of fire. Once An Bing who wears rattan armor catches fire, he will die, and the scene is terrible. So Zhuge Liang saw the terrible situation of Fujia soldiers, and he lamented that "life will be reduced."

In fact, for the great cause of Shu Han, Zhuge Liang used fire attack five times in his life, which is called "the king of fire attack". As soon as he came out of the mountain, "the new official took up three fires, burning Bowangpo, Xinye and Chibi, plus burning Fu Jiabing and burning the valley above. Hundreds of thousands of people were burned alive by Zhuge Liang all their lives.

God has the virtue of living well. Although Zhuge Liang was trying to restore the Han Dynasty, after all, hundreds of thousands of people died in the fire.

He who loves to attack with fire belongs to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang's first battle for fame and fortune-this battle will be too cruel and harmful for Yin De, and he will inevitably die.

Of course, this is just a feudal superstition of "the causal cycle of heaven", and we let it go without believing it.

But so many people died tragically in Zhuge Liang's fire attack strategy, and Zhuge Liang blocked the scene on the battlefield, which caused a huge psychological shadow.

Second, the theory of life shortening.

This mainly means that after Zhuge Liang was angry with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu said, "He was born in Liang Yusheng." Then the arrow wound recurred and he vomited blood and fell ill. Zhou Yu knew that he was going to die soon, and told Lu Su that he had to stop the coffin for 2 1 day before he could be buried, so he borrowed his life from Xing Jun in Nandou 18 years.

ZhuGeLiangQu refers to a calculate, know that there is fraud. In order to get rid of Zhou Yu, a powerful opponent, he personally took Zhao to Chaisang to mourn and find out.

When he arrived in Wu Dong, Zhuge Liang found that Zhou Yu's coffin was made of pine with holes in it, and he knew the doorway. On the one hand, it deliberately made Zhao angry with Dongwu people and delayed Lu Su's mediation outside. He rushed to Zhou Yu's coffin, holding the hole in the coffin with one hand and slapping the coffin with the other, crying sadly, crying in the dark, crying his eyes out. The scene of sad devotion touched everyone present, and everyone began to cry. No one dared to go up and persuade them.

In fact, Zhuge Liang traded his life for his life. Every time he patted the coffin with his hand, the life span of one year was equal to that of Zhou Yu. In this way, Zhuge Liang shot 18 in a row, and the 18 birthday borrowed by Zhou Yu was cleared by Zhuge Liang. In addition, Zhuge Liang pressed the air hole with his hand and sealed the whole coffin, so Zhou Yu could no longer live.

Zhuge Liang lost 18' s birthday because of killing Zhou Yu. Isn't this a little too big to be worth it?

This is just a folk legend, just laugh it off and can't be taken seriously.

Third, the theory of double body.

There is a strange phenomenon. Zhuge Liang was born in 18 1, died in 234, and lived to the age of 54. Liu Xie and Zhuge Liang, the last emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, died in the same year and both lived to the age of 54. What a coincidence.

So some people boldly assumed that Zhuge Liang was actually Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty.

After the failure of the "Daizhao" incident, Liu Bei found a body double for Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, escorted Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty out of the palace by himself, and lived in Nanyang Longzhong under the pseudonym Zhuge Liang. Because he was the only thrill who studied in the palace since childhood, he knew astronomy above and geography below, so he dared to call himself "Wolong".

The reason why Liu Bei was well at Yuan Shao's place and suddenly switched to Jingzhou Liu Biao was actually to pay a visit to Emperor Han Xian. * * * Mi Shang Han's great cause, because it is not convenient for Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty to disclose his identity, he had to take Liu Bei as the teacher to establish the Shu Han regime as the base for reviving the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei let Zhuge Liang, the real Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, take full control of military and political power.

In order to return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible, Emperor Xiandi insisted on the Northern Expedition, but all failed. Especially when I met Sima Yi, a military wizard, he knew it was impossible to destroy Cao Wei.

In addition, news came from Cao Wei that the fake emperor Xian died of illness. I thought that even if I really succeeded in the Northern Expedition, who would believe that he was the real Xian Di? So disheartened, unable to get sick, died in 234.

This is why Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty and Zhuge Liang only lived for 54 years.

Of course, it's crazy, believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway, hehe.

Guan Yu, a red-faced hero, and Cao Cao, a treacherous and insidious man in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, left a deep impression on everyone's childhood. In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was a man who was rated as "wise and close to the demon" by Mr. Lu Xun, and this man was Zhuge Liang. But as we all know, Zhuge Liang died in Wuzhangyuan at the age of 54. What is the reason for his early death in the autumn wind? I think there are several reasons.

The first reason is that Zhuge Liang shoulders heavy responsibilities and is under great pressure. Zhuge Liang is a man of wisdom and strong sense of responsibility. After Baidicheng entrusted orphans, Shu Han suffered heavy losses. Zhuge Liang can only support Shu Han by his own efforts, and it is only a matter of time before he is exhausted. Attentive audience friends can see that in the CCTV version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang came out on a four-wheeled vehicle with a feather fan in his hand and a black silk scarf. In fact, this is a great foreshadowing of the author, suggesting the end of Zhuge Liang's early death.

At the age of 26, he rode into Jingzhou with Liu, seized Xichuan, and went all the way to the position of Prime Minister of Shu Han. With the frequent wars, many brothers who fought side by side in their early years gradually passed away. When he met something, he could neither discuss with others nor talk to his friends, which led to Zhuge Liang's exhaustion. Especially in my later years, even if I rode a four-wheeled vehicle during the Northern Expedition, I couldn't stand the vagrant life.

The second reason is that Zhuge Liang is too hands-on. When Qishan confronted Sima Yi, Sima Yi pretended to ask the emissary if the Prime Minister was in good health. The messenger said, "If you stay up all night, you will be fined more than 20. See for yourself." I ate less than nine liters. "In today's words, get up early and go to bed late, and do everything yourself.

The importance of sleep to people is self-evident. As the saying goes, you are born from yin and yang, and you will die if you go against it. If you don't obey the nature of heaven and earth, everything will be reincarnated, which will certainly cause endless harm. Zhuge Liang's lack of sleep caused his mental sensitivity. In the model, Zhuge Liang himself said, "This is the autumn of life and death." It can be seen that he is walking on thin ice and can't afford any mistakes by himself.

In addition, a prime minister is tired of dealing with the internal affairs of the country. Wouldn't it be exhausting if he asked about such a small matter as foot soldiers? Zhuge Liang couldn't wait to stay up late and devote himself to his career, just as he said, "Do your best until you die."

The third reason is that he is away all the year round and the surrounding environment is not good. Zhuge Liang advocated cutting Wei and experienced six northern expeditions. The war itself is a very cruel thing, and the environment he went to was very bad. Most war fortresses and battlefields are desolate and dangerous places. People who live in this harsh climate and environment for a long time will be dragged down sooner or later. Years of fighting have kept the spirit in a state of overwork and tension, and there is no time to take care of the adjustment of the body. In the long run, the harm to the body is self-evident. This is probably the truth mentioned in Huangdi Neijing that "prolonged lying causes disease, qi stagnation and blood stasis".

If there are the above three reasons, it will cause physical overwork. If Zhuge Liang could realize the seriousness of the problem and cultivate himself in time, he might not be so miserable. At this time, he made another taboo and believed in Confucianism and Taoism. People's spiritual motivation comes from the whole grains they usually eat. Man is iron and rice is steel. If you rely on Confucianism and Taoism for a long time, it will go against the diet of ordinary people, and finally your body will be hollowed out. On the contrary, Sima Yi always had enough to eat and drink and traded time for space. Three generations of Cao Wei didn't survive him. Finally, Gao Ping Ling mutinied, Cao Shuang was dismissed and seized the relieving. Sure enough, as Sima Yi said, "Kongming is tired of eating less, but it will take a long time."

Finally, Zhuge Liang suddenly died in Wuzhangyuan, left but died with heavy regret for future generations before he could conquer. Through Zhuge Liang's early death, future generations should realize how important it is to have a rhythmic life, a reasonable diet and adequate rest. Therefore, we should learn from Zhuge Liang's professionalism, but learn to be kind to ourselves and make reconciliation with ourselves at an appropriate time.

First of all, I want to correct the questioner:

Zhuge Liang did not live long. At that time, Zhuge Liang died in the former army of Zhang Wu at the age of 54. Compared with his contemporaries, Lu Su was 47, Zhou Yu was 36, Fa Zheng was 47, and Cao Pi died at 42. Zhuge Liang lived much longer than them.

But it can't be compared with Zhang Zhao 8 1 year-old, Liu Bei 66, Sun Quan 70 and Wang Lang 75. Compared with these old people, Zhuge Liang's life span is shorter. In the final analysis, it depends on who he compares with.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the average life expectancy was not very high. At that time, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow turban insurrectionary uprising and national chaos caused many people to be displaced and homeless, and the natural mortality rate was quite high. Cao Cao also said in his poem: Bones are exposed in the wild. It can be seen that the horror at that time. In those days, I got sick and probably died without medicine.

Then, after analyzing the big phenomenon of social life, we will talk about Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang, a militarist, is as busy as a bee, Cao Wei is snooping in front, his bear is beside him, and there are other ethnic minorities in China who need reconciliation.

There are many things. Zhuge Liang may not be in good health, because he has been marching for a long time, sleeping in the wind and sleeping out, and does not exercise. In addition, he has a lot of affairs, so he has to work hard in the army and the country. From military punishment to strategic policy deployment, we are hands-on and hands-on, which will inevitably increase fatigue. Coupled with our poor health, we will relapse and lead to death.

So Sima Yi was glad to learn that Zhuge Liang ate very little every day. If he eats very little and has a lot of food, how can he last long? Sure enough, Zhuge Liang soon died in Zhang Wu's former army.

Zhuge Liang devoted his life to Shu Han. He knew that it was difficult for Shu Han's strength to compete with Cao Wei's strength in Kyushu, but he actually knew that he could not do it. Loyalty is touching.

Long-term military life dragged down his health, and he followed Liu Bei everywhere in the early days, which led to his poor health. One more thing, I want to point out that excessive brain use leads to excessive consumption of brain cells, which may also be related to Zhuge Liang's early death.

Conscientious and loyal, just as Du Fu's poem praised the cloud: Zhuge Wei is very famous and sincerely dedicated to two generations.

Zhuge Liang was entrusted by Liu Bei before he died, and he himself was a model before and after. It is clearly written in the model that he is willing to do his best until he dies. So, he went out to Qishan seven times. Although he didn't succeed, he did his best.

In other words, Zhuge Liang's illness is not only not good, but also very serious. It is a pity that he personally managed the military and political affairs of Shu and Han in an all-round way, which actually caused great physical and mental harm to himself and led to his early death.

Therefore, there is a poem saying: but before he could conquer, he was already dead.

Often make the hero cry.

What a helpless thing it is.

Zhuge Liang died, and the ministers and people of Shu Han mourned him.

(Image from the network, delete. )

Battle of Red Cliffs, who burned the human purgatory, was desperate and fierce, and died 30 years ago. I ordered Daxian to make a speech and then turn around.

No one is perfect.

Zhuge Liang can be said to have "died with all his heart", and as a minister, he has done his best. Farming in Wollongong, Nanyang, is famous for its talent. He once compared himself with the abilities of Guan Zhong and Le Yi, but he only hated that he couldn't display his ambition and attach himself to the world. Only Liu Xuande Bole knows about Maxima, and he cares about Maolu's great plan to ensure the world. Since he came out of the mountain at the age of 27, he has resounded through the land of the Eastern Han Dynasty like a faint thunder.

Several degrees of wind and rain, several degrees of spring and autumn, wind, frost, rain and snow, rapids and rapids. Although the three-point world has been decided, the dream of the Central Plains has not come true. Six out of Qishan is hard to accomplish, and Wolong sleeps in Wuzhangyuan. Twenty-seven years ago, the temple was built in fifty-four years.

Zhuge Liang's life span is ok. The average life expectancy of ancient people in China was over 30 years old. Zhuge Liang was in power for thirteen years, and was ordered at the critical moment, making great contributions to the country.

He was good at governing the country, but not good at military affairs, which led to repeated defeats in the Northern Expedition. The people are suffering from belligerence.

Zhuge Liang lived only 54 years old, and his life span was not high. The reason why his life expectancy is not high is overwork, even from overwork.

Zhuge Liang is a powerful man. Administratively, he is the prime minister. Militarily, he is a strategist; In diplomacy, as a minister, he can be said to be a burden to Shu. At the same time, he is a person who can't appoint subordinates to do things. He doesn't trust any subordinates, and he always has to do it himself before he can rest assured. Because of the busy state affairs, he may not rest for a moment, and he may not have a good sleep after "enough spring sleep in the thatched cottage". Such people, even if they are made of iron, will be crushed to death.

Although Zhuge Liang is clever, he is not wise to be an official. Because as long as a person can choose people, he can also make himself relaxed. As the prime minister of Shu, Zhuge Liang has the power to take charge of the overall situation. Therefore, he can assign tasks to his subordinates and ask for instructions before reporting. For example, in diplomacy, he can appoint Fei Yi as ambassador; Militarily, he can appoint Pang Tong to command. If Zhuge Liang becomes prime minister in this way, his job will certainly be much easier and his life will be much longer.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms said that Zhuge Liang was short-lived because the fire killed 30,000 people and damaged Yang Shou. In my opinion, this is completely idealistic and unbelievable. In fact, Zhuge Liang is exhausted.

(Image from the Internet)

Zhuge Liang can't decide the length of his life, because it is not for people to decide. Damn it, you have to die, right? Birth, illness, death and illness are a process that everyone has to go through. As for how long each person lives, it is not for him to decide.

How long a person can live is influenced by many factors:

Therefore, people are very fragile, but also very strong.

Although people's life span is limited, their ideals are infinite. So there are so many touching stories in history.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu and Han Dynasties, had a lifelong ideal of "reviving the Han Dynasty and returning its old capital". My late Lord's last wish did not come true, and I finally died in Wuzhangyuan.

However, Zhuge Liang's loyalty to fulfill his last wish has a far-reaching impact on future generations.

Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold star in the Southern Song Dynasty, spent half his life as a military commander in order to recover lost ground and welcome the return of Er Sheng. However, he was framed by treacherous court officials and died tragically in Fengbo Pavilion.

However, Yue Fei's loyalty to the liver, righteousness and bravery will be remembered by future generations.

There are many such figures in history.

Although their lives are short, they left precious spiritual wealth to future generations.

History will remember them.

Dad has something to say: Why doesn't Zhuge Liang live long? What do you think of this problem? You can express your views in the comments section.

In fact, Zhuge Liang's assumption that he will not live long is untenable. Zhuge Liang was born in 18 1 and died in 234. Judging from the average life expectancy of men in the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang was not short-lived. Of course, Zhuge Liang is really short-lived compared with his old rival Sima Yi. After all, Sima Yi lived for 73 years. Zhuge Liang only lived for 54 years. The difference in life span is nearly 20 years.

Zhuge Liang's short life is mainly due to overwork. But Zhuge Liang's short life is purely his own. As we all know, the year after the defeat of the Yiling War, Liu Bei was seriously ill and died. Before Zhuge Liang died, he left Zhuge Liang and Li Yan alone in Baidicheng. Zhuge Liang is in power and Li Yan is in power. Liu Bei arranged this because Zhuge Liang and Li Yan wanted to restrict each other to prevent the emergence of powerful ministers from endangering Shu Han. If Zhuge Liang really acted according to Liu Bei's wishes and cared about his own internal affairs, Zhuge Liang would never die early.

But after Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang showed his desire for power. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms made many people myth Zhuge Liang. In fact, Zhuge Liang is very experienced in dealing with internal affairs. But Zhuge Liang also has personality defects. Zhuge Liang's character defect is autocracy. He likes to hold all the rights in his hand. This mentality is a typical mentality. During the period of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang suppressed his inner desire for power. However, this desire was completely released during the Liu Chan period. In the power struggle between Zhuge Liang and Li Yan, Li Yan was quickly defeated and stepped down. After the fall of Li Yan, no one in Shu Han could rule Zhuge Liang anymore. It was also from this time that Zhuge Liang realized the military and political power. Even Iron Man can't stand the geometric growth of his works. Not to mention flesh and blood.

During Zhuge Liang's reign, Liu Chan, the late ruler of Shu Han, had no real power even when he was an adult. What is suppressing the emperor's officials, not the ministers? According to historical records, "Zhuge Liang did everything himself during the Shu and Han Dynasties." After all, Shu Han is a country, not a county or county. No matter how strong a person's ability is, it is limited. Judging from the degree of Zhuge Liang's dominance, Zhuge Liang has asked for it.

During the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang sent messengers to see Sima Yi, the chief commander of Cao Wei. Sima Yi asked the messenger about Zhuge Liang's sleep, diet and work. The messenger didn't think much, because it didn't involve military secrets, so the messenger replied truthfully: "Zhuge Gong got up early and went to bed late, and all 20 sentences were read by himself; I ate less than a few liters of food. " Sima Yi laughed after hearing this. The envoy has a question mark. After the envoy left, Sima Yi said to his left and right men, "Zhuge Liang is not far from death. Zhuge Liang ate less and dealt with too many things. How long can Zhuge Liang live under such circumstances? " Sure enough, Zhuge Liang soon died of overwork.
