Zhuge Liang and Wang Lang cursed each other. In fact, what Wang Lang said is also reasonable. Why did he lose in the end?

In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many famous scenes were born, among which Zhuge Liang, Hou of Wuxiang, cursed Wang Lang to death, which can be said to be a classic among the classics. Wang Lang, who is 76 years old, originally tried to cheer up and persuade Zhuge Liang to surrender, but he was silenced by Kong Ming, and finally died.

However, after reading the original text again, it is not difficult to find that everything Wang Lang said is reasonable.

The background of the battle between the two men was that Zhuge Liang sent troops to Hanzhong for the first time in 228 AD for the Northern Expedition. No matter the official history or the story, Zhuge Liang took the lead in invading the border of Wei, so Wang Situ took the lead in asking questions. Since the public knows the destiny and current events, why should they promote the unknown soldier? ?

As for Zhuge Liang's? Begging for a thief? Does this refer to Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty? A ribbon? It's hard to say whether the official history has this imperial edict. But at this time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had abdicated to Xelloss, and Kong Ming dug it out again, which was somewhat far-fetched.

After that, Wang Lang immediately praised Zhuge Liang for showing off Wei's civil and military skills, thinking that Shu State? To be anti-natural and anti-human, how can the fluorescence of rotten grass reach the bright moon? ? I hope he surrenders early, like this? Guoan folk music? .

Although this sentence is exaggerated, there is nothing wrong with saying too much. At that time, Cao Wei occupied the area north of the Yangtze River, which is the richest in Chinese civilization, including Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Xuzhou and other important counties. On the other hand, Wu and Shu together are almost as big as the north, but in terms of resources, they are far less than Cao Wei.

According to the statistics of scholars on the population of the three countries, the gap is also very obvious. During this period, there was only one Yizhou in Shu, with * * 280,000 people and 940,000 people, while Wu had 523,000 people and * * 2.3 million people. As for Wei, there are 660,000 households, 1 * * 4.43 million people. Wu and Shu together are no match for Wei.

So how did Zhuge Liang answer? If this is a debate, Zhuge Liang made two important mistakes. The first kind of nature is personal attack, public abuse? A bald man, an old thief? , somewhat without martial arts.

As for the second mistake, the argument is insufficient and untrue. Zhuge Liang accused Cao Wei of being corrupt and incompetent, so that his manners were corrupted. The country is full of hills and ruins. ? However, the reality is just the opposite.

In the seventh year of Cao Pi, Wei's defeat in Han Dynasty completely recovered. Economically, Cao Pi developed the farming system, implemented the system of exchanging grain and silk for the market, stabilized social order, prohibited personal vendetta, lightly discussed punishment, recuperated with the people, and made the north prosper again. Culturally, Cao Pi developed Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn Period, built the Confucius Temple, established the method of practicing the Five Classics and established Dr. Gu Liang. This has also greatly restored the atmosphere and production in the north.

On the other hand, a set of data can illustrate the burden of the people. According to statistics, among the 940,000 people in Shu, foot soldiers account for102,000, officials account for 40,000, Wu 2.3 million, foot soldiers account for 230,000, and officials only account for 32,000. The population of Shu is less than half that of Wu, but the number of officials exceeds it, and the burden on the people increases. At the same time, they have to bear the taxes brought by the war. Within Shu Han, the division of interests between Yizhou Group and Jingzhou Group, which were born and raised in Shu Han, is also the reason for so many officials on the other hand. All of the above, on the contrary, Shu Han put more pressure on the people.

So why did Wang Lang lose in the end? The reason is actually very simple, that is, the orthodoxy that runs through the full text of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In this book, the continuation of the Han Dynasty is always described as the main line. Then Wang Yun, who defended the new Cao Wei regime, was actually regarded as a traitor and thief. Script kill? Yes

Of course, it must be pointed out here that Zhuge Liang called Wang Lang a fictional story. As for Wang Lang himself, he was a very accomplished scholar and scholar during the Han and Wei Dynasties, and wrote books such as Zhouyi Biography and Chunqiu Biography. Romance of the Three Kingdoms is unfair to his old man's house.
