Chapter 1146

~8 min read 1,468 words

Zhang Liang, this tool man, is no longer possible, so Su Fan can only look for this person. After all, this person's wisdom is also in the forefront in the entire long river of history, and only a few can compare with it.

Although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" mythologized him, in reality, Zhuge Wuhou's status in official history is even higher.

The romance indeed exaggerated many of his military capabilities.

But it cannot be denied that this Zhuge Wuhou's military talent, not to mention the Three Kingdoms era, even the entire history, is indeed top-notch.

Later generations say "If the ghost talent does not die, the Crouching Dragon will not come out," saying that Guo Jia is the number one military strategist of the Three Kingdoms.

In reality, the two cannot be mentioned in the same breath at all.

First, let's talk about the status of the two; Guo Jia's status on Old Cao's side is actually not very high. In official history, it is recorded that Old Cao's military strategist is actually Xun You; this person is Old Cao's main strategist.

And Guo Jia is just a military strategist libationer.

Of course, it is not to say that Guo Jia's ability is not good; as one of Old Cao's military strategists, Guo Jia still has ability.

However, if one truly wants to compare with Zhuge Wuhou, it is a bit inferior.

Guo Jia, if placed in modern times, is just a staff officer, but what is Zhuge Wuhou? He can govern one side locally, and in the army, he can also become a commander leading troops to fight.

In reality, Guo Jia leans towards Chen Ping of the early Han Dynasty.

So compared to Zhuge Wuhou, Guo Jia is actually quite inferior.

If Guo Jia and Zhuge Wuhou were swapped, I fear the Liu Bei Shu-Han regime would absolutely not reach that level.

In the late Three Kingdoms period, every northern expedition of Zhuge Wuhou can be said to have made Cao Wei feel terrified, and every defense was a collection of the strength of the whole country.

As for later generations, many people say that Zhuge Wuhou's six expeditions to Qishan were all a waste of money and people, and why not cultivate and rest for a while?

Then go north.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Liu Bei, was also in Shu, and then the other party was "openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing Chencang," cultivating for a long time before seizing the world in one fell swoop.

But that period was different from the Three Kingdoms era.

During the Liu Bang period, that was a period of chaos among the feudal lords, with the major feudal lords of the Central Plains fighting each other.

And in the Three Kingdoms era, only Wei, Shu, and Wu remained, and Cao Wei occupied seven-tenths of the world's territory and population.

If it were not for the geographical advantages of Wu and Shu, I fear that in the Cao Cao era, Cao Wei would have unified the world.

Shu-Han wanted to rest and recover, restoring the strength of the army and the people, but Cao Wei could also do so.

And Cao Wei occupied the Central Plains, and its potential far exceeded that of Shu-Han.

If they truly rested for twenty years, I fear Cao Wei's strength would be even more powerful.

What kind of person is Zhuge Wuhou? How could he not know this? That is why he kept going north at that time.

At that time, because of the previous chaos among the feudal lords, the Central Plains were withered; if they truly rested for decades, Shu-Han would have no chance at all.

However, even by attacking the strong with the weak, Shu-Han made Cao Wei feel crisis-ridden.

From here, one can see Zhuge Wuhou's military power.

Of course, it can also be said that Cao Wei's talents were withered, the older generation of martial generals slowly died in battle, and Cao Wei simply had no great generals to command.

Having no choice, they let the Sima family rise.

Sima Yi, who can be passed down through the ages in history, besides their usurpation of the Cao Wei regime, is also because he contended with Zhuge Wuhou for a long time, which is how he gained his reputation.

Does Sima Yi have ability? Naturally, he does.

Otherwise, how could he have blocked Zhuge Wuhou's multiple northern expeditions?

There are many talents in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms; although because of the romance, quite a few were mythologized, it cannot be denied that the talents who appeared in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, both in literature and martial arts, were top-tier in the long river of history.

There are also top-tier talents like Zhuge Wuhou in history.

In the mythical world, these talents will still not be forgotten; in the pre-Qin period, those masters became the backbone of the Human tribe.

Those figures of the Hundred Schools of Thought are even more extraordinary, especially those top-tier martial generals, who burst out with brilliant light in the previous Human-God War.

Among them, Wu'an Jun Bai Qi once became a top-tier powerhouse of the Honghuang Sanjie, with the combat power of a quasi-sage.

The Overlord Xiang Yu was also a late bloomer, reaching the quasi-sage level.

So figures who became famous in history will still burst out with brilliant light in the Honghuang Sanjie.

Even in the current Jiuzhou, because of the sealing, transcendent power is becoming less and less, but these brilliant figures still cannot be covered up.

When Su Fan arrived in the Jiuzhou, a calamity aura had already surged on the land of the Jiuzhou.

"Is this the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"

Su Fan's heart moved; the calamity aura of the Jiuzhou surged, and Su Fan knew that the chaotic times of the dynasty were unavoidable.

But what he did not expect was that he actually encountered it, the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Once, he had also experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but that world could not compare with the mythical world.

Even in the current Jiuzhou, it has been sealed, but it is still not comparable to that world.

"Zhang Jiao of the late Han Dynasty."

This figure of the Daoist school who did not come out into the world can also be considered an absolute talent.

"If he sacrifices like this, it seems a bit of a pity."

Zhang Jiao in history wanted to overthrow the Great Han Dynasty; he was an idealistic figure. In official history, Zhang Jiao is not considered a villain.

Of course, in history, peasant uprisings, in reality, the only successful one was Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

Other dynasty uprisings were just paving the way for others.

Zhang Jiao of the late Han Dynasty was also the same; it was also because of him that the strength of the Great Han Dynasty fell to the extreme.

This led to the local families and powerful clans increasing their strength again.

In history, the power of the families and nobles of the Western Han Dynasty was not very great, especially after the suppression of several generations of emperors.

The Western Han Dynasty must be said to have had quite a few wise emperors, although there were also strange ones.

But the Eastern Han Dynasty was very different.

Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty himself, his ability is indeed among the top-tier of many emperors in history.

But unfortunately, his world was not fought bit by bit by himself.

A large part was supported by local families and powerful clans, allowing him to burst out with power in a short time.

It was not the same as Zhu Yuanzhang back then.

Coupled with his personality being different from Zhu Yuanzhang's, it led to the power of the families greatly increasing after the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Coupled with the fact that later emperors were not very wise and martial, it led to the local areas becoming big; in this way, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the central authority became weaker and weaker.

And then there was Dong Zhuo, this reckless man who smashed the authority of the Great Han imperial family with one punch, thus opening the prologue of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turbans also completely became pawns for those scholar-officials to deal with the Great Han.

It must be said that it is very sad.

Zhang Jiao's starting point was good, entirely standing on the side of the bottom-level people, but unfortunately, the intermediate power of Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turbans was too weak to fully control the Yellow Turban Army, so naturally, the final Yellow Turbans were of mixed quality.
