Zhuge Zhan died in Mianzhu. Why did the soldiers bury their legs in the ditch when the city was broken?

Let me introduce the sons and grandsons of Zhuge Liang who died in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Zhan and Zhuge Shang. Zhuge Zhan's mother, Huang, is Huang's daughter. Although my mother is ugly, she has amazing talents: not only studying astronomy, but also studying geography; Moreover, all books are omniscient. After Zhuge Liang's death, his mother didn't die with Tuo Domineering, but left Zhuge Zhan a last word of loyalty and filial piety before she left.

Zhuge Zhan was smart and studious since childhood, and became a princess when she grew up. She became the son-in-law of the late Liu Chan and inherited the title of marquis of Wuxiang from her father Zhuge Liang. However, at that time, the deceased was in a coma and the court was in complete darkness. At the same time, a traitor like Huang Hao was in power, which disturbed the Chaogang, so Zhuge Zhan had to stay at home for an excuse.

First, analyze the battle of Mianzhu.

The general of Wei, Wargo, led an army to attack Shu, but he was at a loss when there were no talents available. Liu Chan remembered that Zhuge Zhan had sent three letters calling him into the palace and begging him to spare his life for his father's sake.

Zhuge Zhan was ordered in a crisis, and he was willing to lead the troops for the latter and fight to the death with Wargo. At the same time, Zhuge Zhan 19-year-old son Zhuge Shang went out as a pioneer.

It's a pity that the warm-blooded Zhuge Zhan didn't inherit his father's strategic talent. This is as Zhuge Liang predicted in his letter to Zhu Gejin early in the morning: Zhuge Zhan is eight years old now, and he is very smart and cute, but I am afraid that he is too successful to become a climate. ?

On the other hand, in order to quickly defeat the enemy, Wei Jun decided to bribe Zhuge Zhan with money and the position of the king of Langya. As a result, although Zhuge Zhan was not as talented as Zhuge Liang, his loyalty was 100%. So when he read the letter, he flew into a rage directly, and not only tore it into pieces without saying anything. He also shouted that the samurai would kill him in the future and asked other subordinates to go back to Wei Ying to see Wargo with the head of the messenger.

Since ancient times, the two sides have defeated the enemy without fighting. Doesn't Zhuge Zhan hit Wargo in the face? Does this make him less angry? So he simply followed the advice of his men, fought with Indiana Jones, and trapped Zhuge Zhan in the city. Said Zhuge Zhan embattled, so we have to let Peng and township party secretary, to Dongwu for help. However, the two places are far apart, and it is not uncommon for reinforcements to arrive after ten and a half days.

You shouldn't call every day at this time. Zhuge Zhan saw that reinforcements had not arrived for a long time, so he had to cross the rubicon. I put myself on a horse and led the three armies to open the three doors, but deus ex was trapped in the core. Zhuge Zhan had to lead troops to sprint, killing hundreds of people. Wargo ordered all the troops to shoot arrows, and the Shu soldiers scattered. Zhuge Zhan was also shot by an arrow and shouted at the sky: I'm exhausted. I should die for my country! ? Then he drew his sword and committed suicide.

His son Zhuge Shang was furious when he saw his father killed in the army, so he got on the horse. Zhang Zun protested:? Little general, don't take it lightly. ? Shang lamented:? My father and son are grandchildren, showing great kindness and compassion, Ho. Since my father died at the hands of the enemy, why should I live? ? He also rode out of the city and died in battle. At this point, Zhuge Liang's children and grandchildren Zhuge Zhan and Zhuge Shang died in battle.

Secondly, analyze why Zhuge Zhan let soldiers stand in the ditch and bury their legs.

But even if Zhuge Zhan can't compare with Zhuge Liang, he won't be stupid enough to let soldiers stand in the ditch and bury their legs, will he? After all, let the soldiers stand in the ditch and bury their legs, and they lose the ability to dodge. Why not let the enemy cut down their soldiers as radishes?

However, there is no clear record about this matter in Romance of the Three Kingdoms and History of the Three Kingdoms. Even the TV series has never performed this scene, but Huayang Guozhi mentioned it? Follow in the footsteps of others? In that case.

The explanation of this sentence is interesting. It is said that the army was distracted at that time. In order to prevent the soldiers from escaping, Zhuge Zhan asked the soldiers to bury their legs in the sand so that they could not escape. Second, the description was fierce, but somehow it became Zhuge Zhan who asked the soldiers to bury their legs in the ditch. Three said that at that time, Chen Shou, as a subordinate of Zhuge Zhan, had a holiday with him and fabricated it to discredit Zhuge Zhan.

But which one is it, it is impossible to verify at present, and it can be slowly scrutinized. First, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, The History of the Three Kingdoms and TV plays are all scenes in which Zhuge Zhan is surrounded by many enemy forces and fighting bloody battles, instead of the pictures with his legs buried in the ditch. Naturally, it is understandable that too many killed enemies are buried in his footsteps and he is still fighting. The second argument makes sense.

Second, about the first legend about burying people's legs in a ditch. Personally, as long as Zhuge Zhan is not a spy sent by the enemy and a fool, he won't directly send his head to the other side and lose his life. Otherwise, if this is the case, and the soldiers' lives are not taken seriously, it is estimated that the morale of the camp has long since dispersed, and there will be no bloody battle in the future.

Third, said Chen Shou discredited Zhuge Zhan. In the Han Dynasty, where the deceased was the largest and the deceased had passed away, how could Chen Shou discredit each other? What's more, if Chen Shou really wants to slander Zhuge Zhan, why not write it clearly in reflection? They just described each other's heroic battles.

Therefore, Zhuge Zhan's statement that soldiers stood in the ditch and buried their legs when the city was broken was taken out of context, and its real explanation was that the situation was tragic and the bodies piled up like mountains.
