Zhuge Liang's name is Kong Ming, the prime minister of Shu Han, Liu Bei, the emperor of Baidicheng, and finally entrusted orphans. Zhuge Liang assisted Li Chan, the late ruler of Shu, and took a series of measures to enrich Qiang Bing, thus enhancing the country's strength. He "defends Sun Quan in the east and rejects Cao Cao in the north", conquers Meng Huo in the south, and escapes in seven directions. Pacifying the south dispelled worries. In 226 AD, he decided to lead the Northern Dynasties to pacify the Central Plains and revive the Han Dynasty. Before sending troops, Zhuge Liang went to the table and advised the latter to listen and appoint a good minister. It's for the previous model. The Northern Expedition was successful at first, but it failed in the end. Zhuge Liang returned to Hanzhong, trained day and night, raised ordnance food, and prepared for another battle.
In 228 AD, the Northern Wei Dynasty was defeated when attacking Wu Dong, and its strength was greatly hit. Zhuge Liang decided to take this opportunity to explore the North again. The ministers of Shu are obedient and criticize a lot. So Zhuge Liang gave the late master a list. In the article, Zhuge Liang analyzed the situation and thought that Shu Han and Cao Wei could not survive for a long time. We must make use of the strength accumulated over the years to launch an attack in time. The Northern Expedition may establish Wang Ye, and passive defense will only do nothing. But the development and changes of things are hard to measure, so I can only do my best and die. As for the future success or failure, not one's intelligence can be predicted in advance. It is to "set an example."
In order to complete the great cause of reunification, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times and directed the battle with all his strength. In the end, he broke down from overwork and died in Zhang Wu's former army, fulfilling his promise.
"Do your best, and then die", from Zhuge Liang's "The Last Example".
Bow: bend over; Qi: Tired. Do your best: do your best. It means to devote all one's energy to tribute. It means diligent, dedicated, and die. Often used to describe people's greatness.
The story of "do your best, die before you die":
During the Three Kingdoms period, in the battle of Yiling, Liu Bei defeated Baidicheng, leaving Zhuge Liang alone. After Liu Bei's death, Liu Chan acceded to the throne in April of the first year of Lite. Zhuge Liang sealed Wu Xiang Hou and led Yizhou to pasture. It was from this time that Zhuge Liang's political talent really came into play. Zhuge Liang kept in mind the teachings of the first emperor, faithfully assisted Liu Chan, managed Shu Han, and devoted himself to his death. He made great efforts to govern, strictly rewarded and punished, adopted a series of political, economic and cultural measures conducive to the development of Shu and Han, and actively improved relations with southwest ethnic minorities. He made many expeditions to the Central Plains, and eventually died from overwork in Wuzhangyuan.
Liu Bei's attack on Wu destroyed the alliance that Sun and Liu had already formed, which was extremely unfavorable to our development. After Liu Chan acceded to the throne, the national strength of Shu was weak, and it was urgent to restore and consolidate the alliance between Sun and Liu to fight against Cao Wei. Zhuge Liang sent Deng Zhi to Wu Dong to persuade Sun Quan to sever ties with Cao Wei and re-establish an alliance with Shu Han.
Zhuge Liang took a series of political, economic and cultural measures during his reign in Shu.
Politically, he emphasized the rule of law, and formulated and promulgated a series of laws and regulations, such as legal inspection, commander, military order, and Shuke, which were all legal texts jointly formulated by Zhuge Liang and others. Zhuge Liang rewards and punishments clearly and is not selfish. At the same time, he also attaches importance to talents and appoints people on their merits. Zhuge Liang also reformed and reorganized the administrative organs of Shu Han, streamlined officials and saved state expenses.
In agriculture, Zhuge Liang attached great importance to agricultural production and asked officials at all levels not to delay the farming season and hinder farmers' operations, and at the same time to reduce taxes. He encouraged farmers to plant, and also promoted the cultivation of farmland in Hanzhong area to solve the food supply needed for the Northern Expedition.
In terms of water conservancy, a special person is appointed to maintain and manage Dujiangyan, the largest water conservancy project in Sichuan, to ensure the smooth progress of agricultural irrigation.
Under the guidance of Zhuge Liang's handicraft policy, the salt and iron industry and brocade industry in Shu are very developed. At that time, salt could be boiled in fire pits in some parts of Shu, and iron and steel smelting was also very advanced.
In the brocade industry, Jinjiang and Jinli are both named after brocade. Zhuge Liang encouraged sericulture, and Shu brocade became an important source of financial income for Shu at that time. Under the careful management of Zhuge Liang, Shu was able to confront Wei and Wu in a relatively stable environment, which lasted for 40 years.
While administering Shu, Zhuge Liang also moved to the north and south. On the one hand, he pacified the south and China and improved relations with local ethnic minorities. On the other hand, he made many expeditions to the Central Plains in an attempt to restore the inheritance of the Han family.
After Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong, he adopted a series of appeasement policies towards the local area. For example, increasing the number of counties, appointing local officials to manage local affairs, and letting some prestigious ethnic chiefs work in the central part of Han Shu have played an important role in improving the relationship between Han Shu and ethnic minorities and promoting the economic and cultural development of South China.
After putting down the rebellion in South China, Zhuge Liang began the northern expedition to Cao Wei. In the seventh year of Huang Chu (226), Emperor Cao Pi of Wei Wen died, and his son Cao Rui acceded to the throne. Zhuge Liang thought it was a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition. The following spring, he personally led the army to start the first Great Patriotic War. Model was written to Liu Chan by Zhuge Liang before the Northern Expedition.
In order to solve the transportation problem of rations, Zhuge Liang invented the "wooden ox flowing horse", which provided efficient and quick backup and supply for the war. After three years of cultivation, the strength of Wei and Shu countries has increased. In the 12th year of Jianxing (234), Zhuge Liang led a hundred thousand troops to attack Wei for the fifth time. During the Northern Expedition, the soldiers of the Shu army left Xiegukou and were stationed in Wuzhangyuan (now southwest of Meixian County, Shaanxi Province). Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi continued to confront each other on the south bank of Wei River. However, due to overwork and deteriorating health, Zhuge Liang finally fell ill at the front and died in Wuzhangyuan. After Zhuge Liang's death, the Shu-Han regime began to decline and was finally destroyed by Cao Wei.
In order to commemorate Zhuge Liang's great achievements in the Shu-Han regime, Liu Chan buried him in Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong (now southeast of Mianxian County, Shaanxi Province), posthumous title Zhongwuhou, so Zhuge Liang's temple was called "Wuhou Temple" in history.

During the Three Kingdoms period, after the death of Liu Bei, the Lord of Shu, Liu Chan succeeded to the throne and handed over the domestic military and political power to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang joined forces with Wu to attack Wei, conquered Meng Huo in the south and actively prepared for two northern expeditions. On the eve of the last Northern Expedition, he wrote a book "Later as an Example" to Liu Chan, expressing his feelings of dying for his country.
The original text of "After the meeting":
The late emperor deeply felt that Han thieves were not at peace and were not partial, so he asked me to invite thieves. With the knowledge of the first emperor, we can measure the talents of ministers and know that ministers can cut thieves, so that the enemy can defeat the strong with the weak. If we don't kill the thief, Wang Ye will die. But sitting still, which one is it? That's why I became suspicious. On the day I was ordered, I was restless and unwilling to eat. Reflections on the northern expedition. It is advisable to enter the south first. Therefore, when crossing the river in May, nothing grows and you eat it every day. I had to feel sorry for myself, but I couldn't be partial to the capital of Shu, so I took the risk of following the wishes of my late emperor, which negotiators called a non-plan. Today, thieves hate the west and serve the east, and the art of war benefits from labor. This is also the time to move forward. I sincerely wish Chen Qi:
High above the sun and the moon, the adviser is deep, but the danger will hit, and the danger will be safe. Today, your majesty is not as good as Gaudi, and your adviser is not as good as Taiping, but you want to win in the long run and settle the world. The minister didn't solve one thing.
Liu You and Wang Lang, according to the counties, talked about the plan, moved the saints, and the ministers were suspicious. It is difficult for all people to fill their chests. They don't fight at this age, and they won't levy next year. Let Sun Ce sit on the ground and arise and merge into Jiangdong. The minister didn't solve the second problem.
Cao Cao's ingenuity is unique to others, and he uses soldiers like Sun and Wu. However, he was trapped in Nanyang, dangerous in Wuchao, dangerous in Qilian, and forced to Liyang. He was defeated in the mountains several times and almost died in Tongguan. Later, he falsely accused his ears for a while. Kuang Chen is weak, but he must be determined not to be in danger. The minister failed to solve three problems. Cao Cao couldn't conquer Changba five times, but he couldn't cross Chaohu Lake four times. He appointed Li Fu, and Li Fu figured it out. He appointed Xiahou, and Xiahou turned defeat into victory. Every time the late emperor called Cao Cao a capable person, he still lost. How can he win? The minister's four unsolved problems.
Since I arrived in Hanzhong, I have lost more than 70 people, including Zhao Yun, Yang Qun, Ma Yu, Yan Zhi, Li Ding, Baishou, Liu He, Deng Tong, Chang Qu and Tunjiang, and more than a thousand people. These are all four elites who have been rectified in decades, not from one country; If the number of years is a complex number, two-thirds of the losses will occur. How can we make enemies? The minister has five unresolved problems.
Today, the people are poor and tired, and they are in Fukashi; If things can't stop, then life and work will wait. Not as good as today's picture, I want to stay in a state with thieves. The minister has not solved six problems yet.
It is difficult for a husband to make peace, and things are also. Yesterday, the first emperor was defeated in Chu. At this time, Cao Cao clapped his hands and said that the world was settled. Then the first emperor joined wuyue in the east, Bashu in the west, soldiers in the north, and Xiahou beheaded. This is a mistake, and the Korean incident will be a success. Then Wu Lian violated the alliance, Guan Yu was defeated, Zigui fell, and Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor. Everything is like this, and it is hard to see irreversibility. I will do my best until I die. As for failure and outspoken, the minister doesn't know.
