Chapter 164 10. Star Die Wuzhangyuan

In 234 A.D., Zhuge Liang led an army of 100,000 troops out of Xiegu and stationed in Wuzhangyuan.He longed for Sima Yi to come out to fight, and then kill Sima Yi to death.No matter how many times you play this game, you will never get tired of it. Sima Yi knew Zhuge Liang's wish, and what he had to do was not to satisfy Zhuge Liang.So the two armies of Wei and Shu faced each other for more than a hundred days. During this period, Zhuge Liang asked for battle many times, but Sima Yi pretended not to hear it.According to history books, in order to anger Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang sent someone to give Sima Yi a girl's topless dress.Sima Yi was too embarrassed to put it on, so he had to play a watch to the court and ask for a fight.

After Ming Emperor Cao Rui received the memorial, he sent the strange old man Xinpi to come with a festival talisman and ordered Sima Yi to be prohibited from playing. Hearing the news, Jiang Wei, Zhuge Liang's successor, was furious, and said to Zhuge Liang, "Prime Minister, you see that the old man Xinpi is here. I'm afraid Sima Yi has another reason not to fight." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Little Jiang, you have to learn how to read people's minds. This Sima Yi, he commands the troops here. The so-called general is outside, and the emperor's order is not given. To fight or not to fight, it takes thousands of miles to ask for instructions." Luoyang? It’s just because if he doesn’t fight, he will be laughed at, so he asked Luoyang for help and asked Cao Rui to give him an excuse. It’s all because we beat him too hard last time, which made him think.”

Zhuge Liang's condition became serious, so he sent envoys to Sima Yi's camp.Sima Yi asked the emissary Zhuge Liang's life details in detail: "How long does he sleep a day? How much does he eat for each meal? How long does he work a day." The emissary replied: "The prime minister sleeps very short. Go to bed early and get up early, and be very careful about work, if a soldier makes a mistake, the punishment of more than 20 sticks must be carefully reviewed. Moreover, the prime minister’s appetite is getting smaller and smaller, and he only eats a little every day."

After hearing this, Sima Yi shook his head and said: "The body is the capital of fighting. Zhuge Liang doesn't cherish himself so much, can he live long?" There is another sentence that Sima Yi should have said, but it was not recorded in the history books: "What is the comparison between me and Zhuge Liang? Comparing intelligence is only at a low level. The real comparison is life span." It depends on who lives longer!If I die before Zhuge Liang, wouldn't Wei Guo be devastated?Zhuge Liang must have been blown away.But if Zhuge Liang dies in front of me, who will defend the Kingdom of Shu for you when I show my power?So you must love your body.

A few days later, Zhuge Liang's condition worsened, and Adou sent his servant, Li Fu, to visit Zhuge Liang. After talking with Zhuge Liang, Li Fu went back, and came back a few days later.Zhuge Liang said: "I know why you came back. I told you about the last time you asked me and I haven't finished it all day. I can tell you this time. Jiang Wan is suitable." Li Fu asked: "I'm really sorry, although I don't want to, but I have to ask, after Jiang Wan, who can succeed?" Zhuge Liang said, "Fei Yi can succeed you." Li Fu: "What about Fei Yi?"

Zhuge Liang didn't answer any more. This question and answer was arranged after Li Fulai asked about Zhuge Liang's death.At the first time, Zhuge Liang probably thought that his body could still hold up, so he refused to answer.A few days later, when Li Fu came back, Zhuge Liang knew that he was powerless, so he arranged in advance for the prime minister's successor. Just this month, Zhuge Liang died in the army. His death marked the end of the era of the split of the Three Kingdoms. From now on, no one can compete with the intelligence of the Sima family. Three parts of the world will be replaced by this rising power.

This is also the most fascinating part of the Three Kingdoms era. The historical process of this era was entirely driven by the intellectual advantages of the strong.When wise men leave the world one by one, the world will eventually return to its usual mediocre track.
