"At the beginning of the second fire, someone jumped over; What do you mean, "two people are fighting for balance and dying"? ?

Second, the fire began to flourish, and someone crossed it; Two scholars fought for balance and soon died, from Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the first 1 17 back to "Deng Shizhai stole the level tone, and Zhuge Zhan died in Mianzhu". It means that in the early years of Yan Xing (the year after Liu Chan proclaimed himself emperor), some people would sneak into level tone and cross the Motianling. Wargo and Zhong will fight for the credit for destroying Shu Han, but they will both die in the end.

Belonging to the romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang didn't say such a thing in order to reflect the elements of Zhuge Liang's strategizing in history.

In 263, Wargo and Zhong Hui led an army to conquer Shu Han. Zhong Hui was blocked by Jiang Wei at Jiange Pass, and Wargo led a division to sneak into Yin Ping with the intention of bypassing Jiange Pass and taking Chengdu directly.

Yin Ping's terrain is steep, and Wargo suffered a lot along the way. In addition, along the way, he split his troops and went to the village. After crossing the Motianling, there are less than two thousand people around him. Just as Wargo was resting, he suddenly saw a stone tablet standing on the side of the road, engraved with the words "the title of Prime Minister Zhuge Wuhou".

Wargo leaned down and saw the inscription: "The second fire started, and it has already been seen. The words "two scholars struggle for balance and die soon". Wargo carefully thought about it and quickly visited the stone tablet, saying that Prime Minister Zhuge was really a man of God. It's a pity that I can't worship him as a teacher!
