First, without Zhuge Liang, there would be no Shu State.
Before meeting Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was defeated and his wife was arrested many times.
After meeting Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei opened a door, took Jingzhou, Yizhou and Hanzhong, and finally became emperor.
Without Zhuge Liang, there would be no Shu State.
Second, Zhuge Liang is not a militarist.
Many people only know Zhuge Liang's five northern expeditions, and think that Zhuge Liang's belligerence has made the people of Shu miserable. This is completely wrong.
In fact, Zhuge Liang pays great attention to rest and recuperation.
After the defeat of Yiling, Liu Bei died of illness in Baidicheng, and there was civil strife in Shu. Zhuge Liang endured for three years before sending troops to counter the rebellion.
After pacifying the south, it took another three years to accumulate strength. The first Northern Expedition was launched only after soldiers had enough food and concentrated feed. Since then, basically every two or three years of rest, a northern expedition will be launched.
During his stay in Shu, Zhuge Liang made many northern expeditions. But there was no famine in Shu, and the population did not decline. This shows that Zhuge Liang carried out the Northern Expedition within the scope of Shu's national strength.
Third, Shu was the first to perish because its national strength was the weakest, and it had nothing to do with governance.
Among the three countries, Shu has the smallest territory, the smallest population and the weakest national strength. This is the root cause of the first demise of Shu.
In governing the country, Shu is much better than Soochow.
Fourth, the first extinction of Shu was related to its geographical location.
Hanzhong in the middle of Shu is close to Guanzhong area and not far from Luoyang, which poses a great threat to the ruling center of Wei State. Therefore, Wei should destroy Shu first and solve his worries.
The fundamental reason is that the national strength of Shu is weak and the talents are dying seriously. In addition, Liu Bei is a foreigner who entered Sichuan, and the people's hearts are unstable. The fuse was the battle of Yiling, which directly led to the complete loss of Shu's ability to unify the whole country. In addition, Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei fought for years in the later period, which exhausted the last national strength and financial resources of Shu, and the people complained, so it was natural to die first.
