Zhuge Liang is a scholar. When he was a rookie, he could clearly see three points, but this only shows that he is a young man who likes to study current politics. His essence is no different from that of many 2b youths nowadays. However, considering the underdeveloped information in the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang can accurately predict the situation in more than ten years by building a car behind closed doors or occasionally chatting and farting with other 2b middle-aged and elderly people. Although Zhuge Liang was valued by Liu Bei and only arranged some small things, he was taken out of the mountain. Later, he gradually felt that he was a practical talent and was promoted and appointed as a logistics manager. He is his own Guan Xiao, but he is a prime minister similar to Guan Xiao. Finally, he became the commander-in-chief of the whole army, leading 654.38 million recruits. An egg shaped thing went south to barbarians and six went out of Qishan, even Sima Yi, who was good at military affairs, was spared. Although Chen Shou's evaluation of his strength will be slightly inferior, it depends on who he compares with. Besides, Zhuge Liang's war is not good, but there is nothing wrong with it. He is steady and open. He wants to win. Here comes Cao Cao. I don't think it's easy. So, where did he get such a high military level?
Since ancient times, commanding the army has even been regarded as an art. Although there are countless art of war, there are only a handful of truly famous soldiers. How to become a star, experience is essential! From recruiting, training, marching and lodging to meeting the enemy, pursuing and even retreating, there are countless skills to be mastered. It can be said that the real general is definitely not read by books. Zhao Kuo's armchair strategist is a big joke in history.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ma Su, as one of the five permanent members of Ma Shi, has no problem in reading poems, but he is not as good at guarding street kiosks as Wang Ping, who is illiterate, although Wang Ping's suggestion may not be able to guard street kiosks. Zhuge Liang, seeing Guan Guan's use of troops, was able to advance and retreat freely, and his camp was neat and unyielding. He doesn't look like his brother at all, but where did his military experience come from? Where did his art of war come from? This paper makes an in-depth analysis of Zhuge Liang's mentor.
If you want to know about Zhuge Liang's military masters, you must look for clues from the biographies of Shu Han and Jing Xiang.
The first thing to doubt is Si Mahui and other advisers of Jingxiang Group. Although Si Mahui and others are called hermits in their bones, they have a strong utilitarian heart. To put it mildly, they are called caring for the world. At that time, the place where the literati were most concerned about the world was to assist a master. Because the Lord was busy leading troops to kill people at that time, he had to learn some art of war, and some counselors even learned some tricks to kill people.
Therefore, it may be true that Si Mahui is good at the art of war, but fighting in the army is not drinking at home. In fact, a general with troops must have experience, and Si Mahui will not teach Zhuge Liang. According to the historical records of Zhuge Liang's early service to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang is not Liu Bei's adjutant, but Liu Bei's adjutant should be Xu Shu. Zhuge Liang's main content is logistics management, including diplomacy. This shows that Zhuge Liang's major before leaving the mountain was not to be a soldier. Therefore, Si Mahui is not Zhuge Liang's mentor.
The second problem may be that the Jingxiang family, such as Cai Taizu, is getting faster and faster, and may be smaller. Although Zhuge Liang is a relative of Cai, he didn't find anyone because he stood in the wrong team and went to find celebrities such as Huang. This is a betrayal of Liu Biao Group and even the Jingxiang landlord armed group on which Liu Biao lives. Zhuge Liang is 27 years old and still unemployed, farming for a living. How sad. Think about it, a well-educated scholar, a confident young man, but no one appreciates it and can only stay at home. How depressing! What does he think of relatives injured by cattle? He still wants to learn military from them at this time? More like revenge. Later, Zhuge Liang encouraged Liu Bei to seize Xiangyang, perhaps out of revenge. So Cai Mao and others are not Zhuge Liang's military instructors.
After Chibi, Liu Bei Group ushered in a new period of rapid development. Because of his diplomatic contribution, Zhuge Liang formed an alliance with Sun and Liu, and was named a military commander. Note that this is Zhuge Liang's first military post, and the rank of corps commander is not small, although he is mainly responsible for tax collection and grain collection. In Lingling, Guiyang and Changsha under his jurisdiction, there was only one star in this period, not Wei Yan, but Zhao Yun! Master Zhuge Zhao Liang is a cloud? Oh, you guessed wrong. Although Zhao Yun fought hard and steadily, he was used from behind by Zhuge Liang, including his attitude towards Zhuge Liang, which showed that Zhao Yun was not Zhuge Liang's faction. Especially Liu Chan's handling of Zhao Yunzhi's death shows that Zhuge Liang has no special feelings for Zhao Yun, so I don't think Zhao Yun is Zhuge Liang's mentor. Even there are contradictions between them!
Soon, Liu Bei arrived in Shu, bringing Pang Tong, who had been in contact with Zhou Yu for a long time. This deeply stimulated Zhuge Liang, because Xun You is not far from Shu, and Zhuge Liang deeply felt the necessity of studying military affairs. Zhuge Liang can consciously start studying military affairs, so who is the object of his study? At this time, the only military commanders who stayed in Jingzhou were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Although there is another Zhao Yun, he is not as good as the first two. Yes, you guessed it. Zhuge Liang's master is one of these two people. It stands to reason that Guan Yu is more likely, but according to today's statement, Guan Yu pretends to be B and despises literati. Such people are daunting. Do you want to ask him anything else?
On the other hand, Zhang Fei attaches great importance to intellectuals. It is said that he also paints beautiful women. It is said that he is also a calligrapher. Therefore, we can boldly speculate that Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei are in their honeymoon period at this time, and Zhuge Liang also needs to unite Zhang Fei to contain Guan Yu in the army, otherwise no one will listen to him. It is not surprising that Zhuge Liang asked Zhang Fei for advice.
Soon, Zhuge Liang's experience opportunity came. Liu Bei fought back and sent troops to Chengdu. Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others also led the crowd into Shu. It can be said that Zhuge Liang got the opportunity to come out of the mountain for the first time. As early as in Jingzhou, he had the opportunity to train with Zhang Fei. At that time, Zhang Fei, who failed in the early years of Liu Bei Group, finally reached the peak of his military career and was no longer a general like Chu Xu and Dian Wei. His experience is enough to make Zhuge Liang understand what a real commander-in-chief is. Zhuge Liang witnessed Zhang Fei and Liu Bei meet unexpectedly and was completely fascinated by Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei's performance in front of Zhang He and other five sons made Zhuge Liang pay more attention to Zhang Fei's experience. At this point, Zhuge Liang's preliminary investigation is over! Unfortunately, although Liu Bei appointed Zhuge Liang as a military adviser, he still managed logistics. It was not until Liu Bei's death that Zhuge Liang mastered military power and trained the whole army. However, he has no confidence in himself. At the same time, in order to relieve Shu's worries, he went south and won a great victory. At this time, Zhuge Liang really got the appreciation of Shu, finally became a famous star and embarked on the road of the Northern Expedition. He is not only an excellent politician, but also a qualified strategist!
