Sunhongda fortune-telling

There was a saying in the Three Kingdoms period:? Shu gets its dragon, Wu gets its tiger, Wei gets its dog? , said is langya ZhuGeShi. Zhuge family is divided into three official positions, all of which have gained important powers, which seems quite diversified (in fact, it is a coincidence). So-called? Wu De started to be stupid? It's about Zhu Gejin, an official of a general in Wu Dong. His son, Zhuge Ke, was a very important figure in the middle and late Wu Dong, and was highly valued by Sun Quan. After Sun Quan's death, he was appointed Minister of Fuzheng, and was once the actual ruler of Wu Dong. However, Zhu Gejin didn't think much of Zhuge Ke. He called it Zhuge Ke? If you don't build a big family, build a red family. ? So why did Zhu Gejin have such an evaluation of his son? What kind of person is Zhuge Ke?

Genius Zhuge Ke.

One of the shortcomings of Chen Shou's "History of the Three Kingdoms" is that it is concise, and many important things are not recorded, which needs other historical materials to supplement (and there is no history yet). But in the reflection? Wu Shu? In Biography of Zhuge Ke, Chen Shou did not spare pen and ink, but used words to illustrate Zhuge Ke's cleverness. This kind of cleverness is mainly reflected in wit and agility. Let's talk about it briefly in the following small series.

Zhuge Yuzi's donkey

Zhu Gejin's face is very long. Sun Quan laughed at Zhu Gejin at the banquet, so he took a donkey and carved it on it? Zhuge Yuzi? . Seeing his father humiliated, Zhuge Ke asked to be present? Zhuge Yuzi? On the basis of adding two words, it becomes? Zhuge Yuzi's donkey? . Sun Quan laughed and gave the donkey to Zhuge Ke.

Zhuge Liang or Zhu Gejin?

Sun Quan asked Zhuge Ke, Zhuge Liang or Zhu Gejin who was more talented. Zhuge Ke replied that it was his father. When Sun Quan asked why, Zhuge Ke replied that his father knew who he should help, but his uncle didn't, so his father was more capable.

Advise Zhang Zhao to drink.

During the dinner, Sun Quan ordered Zhuge Ke to drink. Zhang Zhao was a little drunk and refused to drink when he arrived, saying that this was not the etiquette to support the elderly. Sun Quan asked Zhuge Ke to continue to persuade wine. Zhuge Ke said to Mr. Zhang. At the age of 90, Jiang Ziya was still directing the war and never retired. Now fighting, the general (Zhang Zhao) is behind; How can a general say that eating and drinking is not the way to provide for the aged? ? Zhang Zhao was speechless and could only drink.

Han Shu stable

The emissary of Shu Han went to Dongwu, and Sun Quan said to the emissary, Zhuge Ke likes riding horses. Tell your prime minister to send a good horse. Zhuge Ke hurriedly give thanks. Sun quan is puzzled:? The horse hasn't arrived yet Why thank you? ? Zhuge Ke replied? Shu Han, like your majesty's stable, has now sent a letter that he must send a horse. ?

This is a record of Zhuge Ke's wisdom in the History of the Three Kingdoms, which is quite detailed compared with other biographies. For example, when Chen Shou expounded the cleverness of Cao Chong and Sun Liang, he also used one or two words. Moreover, in Pei Songzhi's Biography of Ke Bie and Biography of Jiang Biao, some stories of Zhuge Ke's wit and eloquence are listed. Limited to space, I won't list them here.

In a word, Zhuge Ke is really a talented and well-dressed man, and his father Zhu Gejin is very influential in Wu Dong. Such a character is born with the aura of the protagonist, but it also brings certain personality defects to Zhuge Ke, that is, arrogance, willfulness, quick success, and pretentiousness; His smooth career in the early stage made him unable to withstand setbacks.

One thing can show Zhuge Ke's eloquence and arrogance at the same time. Zhuge Ke entered the court to assist the young master Sun Liang. At that time, Fu and Wuchang first advised Zhuge Ke to do everything? Ten thoughts? Then do it. Zhuge Ke retorted:? At that time, Ji Wenzi said to think twice before acting, and Confucius said to think twice before acting. Now you advise me to think clearly about everything, that is, to understand my lack of ability. ? This incident was Zhuge Ke's victory in the debate, but it also reflected his character defects, offended Lv Dai and other elders, and was criticized by people at that time.

Zhuge Ke's Political Achievements

First of all, festival officials

Zhuge Ke is intelligent, his father Zhu Gejin is an important official in Wu Dong, and his political position is Wise Group. Does Sun Quan have the ability to rely on and balance the Jiangdong family? One of our own? , will naturally be reused. Zhuge Ke rode a captain first and entered the East Palace? Four friends of the prince? Of course, this is just an idle official position, gilded. Then Sun Quan appointed Zhuge Ke as our time. Our time is an official in charge of grain and grass dispatching in Wu Dong. This kind of work requires caution. As we said above, Zhuge Ke is an impetuous person and doesn't want to take care of these complicated things. Even Zhuge Liang, who was far away in Shu Han, saw this (Zhuge Liang was very broad-minded) and wrote to Lu Xun that Zhuge Ke was not made for logistics, and Lu Xun told Sun Quan. Sun Quan then led Zhuge Ke and turned to the front.

Second, Danyang Mountain Moon

Wu Dong's territory looks huge, but there are many mountainous areas with inconvenient transportation and weak control. In addition, many Shanyue people refused to accept Wu Dong's control. Relying on the continuous mountains and familiar terrain, these people have a certain fighting capacity by mining and casting armor weapons from copper and iron mines in mountainous areas, which has brought great trouble to Wu Dong. These people hid in the mountains when they were conquered, and did not confront the Wu Dong army head-on. Danyang Mountain Moon has always been a difficult problem in Wu Dong.

Zhuge Ke volunteered to ask Sun Quan to comfort these Danyang mountains. Many people think it is difficult, including Zhu Gejin. In fact, this is what Zhu Gejin said about Zhuge Ke? If you don't build a big family, it is a big red family? That's why. However, Sun Quan agreed to Zhuge Ke's request and appointed Zhuge Ke as Danyang Prefecture.

When Zhuge Ke arrived, he did not go to war directly with Shanyue in Danyang, but built a wall to close them up. When the grain is ripe, send troops to cut it, leaving no grain for Danyang Mountain and Moon. Some mountaineers really had no food and surrendered. Zhuge Ke also ordered local officials not to treat these people with violence. In this way, limited by the lack of material conditions and Zhuge Ke's policy of attacking the enemy, a large number of mountain people surrendered to the court. Zhuge Ke drew forty thousand troops from it.

Third, the plan to attack Shouchun.

Zhuge Ke solved the problem of crossing the river in Danyang Mountain, which showed his military talent. Sun Quan worshipped Zhuge Ke as the general of Weibei and transferred to Lujiang in Jiangbei. At this time, Zhuge Ke was adjacent to Cao Wei, and his quick success and instant benefit, or aggressive personality, played a role. During his stay in the town, Zhuge Ke attacked Shu County and Lu 'an, and sent scouts to Huainan extensively to scout the terrain and Cao Wei and prepare to attack Shouchun.

Zhuge Ke's intention was detected by Sima Yi, who led an army to attack Shu County, and Zhuge Ke gave up Shu County to retreat. Sun Quan wanted to lead an army to support Zhuge Ke, but hopefully the war was unfavorable, so he gave up the large-scale conflict with Cao Wei and was afraid that Zhuge Ke would have a fever, so he transferred Zhuge Ke to Chaisang. After Lu Xun's death, Zhuge Ke replaced Lu Xun and defended Wuchang, an important defensive city in the Yangtze River.

Fourth, enter the DPRK to assist the government.

Did Sun Quan get a promotion in Soochow in his later years? Party struggle in southern Shandong? The final result is that both Prince Sun He and King Sun Ba lose-lose, and Sun Quanli's youngest son Sun Liang is the prince. Under the intention of Sun Jun and Dongwu ministers, Zhuge Ke was chosen as the first minister of Fuzheng, and Zhuge Ke came to power from Wuchang (this was the idea that Lv Dai advised Zhuge Ke ten times).

After Zhuge Ke entered the DPRK, he killed his political enemy, another assistant minister, Sun Hong, by thunder, and then promulgated a series of popular decrees: abolishing school officials who acted as the eyes and ears of the emperor, reducing and exempting taxes owed and abolishing customs duties. To some extent, these decrees eased the crisis caused by the handover of the old and new rulers in Soochow, and established a reputation for themselves. Later, Zhuge Ke built a city on Dongxing levee, strengthened the control of ruxu water system, and completed Sun Quan's unfinished business. When Cao Wei destroyed Dongxing levee pier, he fought back and killed tens of thousands of Cao Wei troops. This is famous? Battle of Dongxing? . This great victory pushed Zhuge Ke's prestige to the peak.

The Fall of Zhuge Ke

Zhuge Ke was in power at this time. Battle of Dongxing? Cao Wei's victory made him despise his enemy and be more eager for quick success and instant benefit. So the following year, Zhuge Ke launched an army of 200,000 to actively attack Huainan. Zhuge Ke's move can be said to be a waste of people and money, and Hefei New Town can't pull out the siege. On the contrary, it caused an epidemic in the army, causing heavy casualties, and had to be withdrawn because of Cao Wei's reinforcements. This futile military action dealt a great blow to Zhuge Ke's reputation and sounded the death knell of Zhuge Ke.

Zhuge Ke's reputation was damaged, and he planned to protect his position by controlling Wu Dong officials with majesty. He blamed the failure on Zhongshu Province, replaced some officials appointed by Cao, and changed the imperial army into his own confidant, taking the route of a powerful minister. At this time, Zhuge Ke urgently needed a victory to reverse this unfavorable situation, but he ignored it? The battle of the new city? The failure of the plan to continue the Northern Expedition and attack Xuzhou. It can be seen that Zhuge Ke has lost proper limit after suffering a huge blow, showing a gambler's mentality.

However, Zhuge Ke failed to continue gambling after all. Sun Jun, another assistant minister (who supported Zhuge Ke at the beginning and played a great role in killing Sun Hong), took advantage of this situation and joined Sun Liang (who said that Sun Liang had no subjective participation) to launch a coup, demanding that Zhuge Ke kill Zhuge Ke while drinking in the palace, so as to eliminate the three clans. In fact, Zhuge Ke didn't have the idea of rebellion. He insisted that the idea of the Northern Expedition was correct. However, he was radical and pretentious, and he couldn't handle the relationship with others well, not to mention the drastic changes brought about by his failure, which led to this result. Zhu Gejin's evaluation of Zhuge Ke really came true.
