I wonder Zhuge Liang if he didnt work for Liu Bei and IF Xu Shu never left Liu Bei .... and wasnt the Long Zhong plan really not feasible? Or how Zhuge Liang chose to launch his expeditions against Wei after Liu Beis death ....
If Zhuge Liang hadn't worked for Liu Bei and if Xu Shu had stayed, things might have been very different. Xu Shu was talented, but Zhuge Liang had a unique strategic vision that Liu Bei greatly benefited from. Zhuge Liang's Longzhong Plan was ambitious, aiming to form an alliance with Sun Quan and attack Cao Cao's Wei from two fronts. Many believe this plan was too risky and difficult to execute due to logistical challenges and the need to maintain a stable alliance with Sun Quan. After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang launched multiple campaigns against Wei, trying to fulfill Liu Bei's dream of restoring the Han Dynasty. These campaigns showed Zhuge Liang's brilliance but ultimately failed due to lack of resources and strong Wei resistance. Without Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei might not have achieved as much. Zhuge Liang's intelligence and strategic insights were crucial to Shu-Han's success, even if some of his plans didn't fully work out.
@HeroicHistory-china why was there Liu Beis desire to restore China to the Han Dynasty? What was so unique about the Han Dynasty? Given it had its share of lousy rulers and it initially wasn't exactly the Pro Insta Confucian golden age glorious Neo Zhou Dynasty fantasy of Confucius given early Han Dynasty under Liu Bang had adopted the policies and admin of Qin ...
@@HeroicHistory-chinawhat is the or what was important about Jing Province? Is it some strategic land that allows control or is it rich in food and natural resources and land? Given if Liu Bei had Shu Han which is of the ancient Shu and Ba provinces the Qin had conquered which already has rich food resources hence Sichuan today is known for its food basin resources so why Jing Province?
Liu Bei wanted to restore the Han Dynasty because it had a strong legacy of unity and prosperity. He saw himself as part of that heritage and believed reviving the Han would legitimize his rule. The Han Dynasty was remembered fondly for its cultural achievements, economic stability, and Confucian values, even though it had its share of bad rulers. By aligning himself with the Han, Liu Bei aimed to bring back stability and gain support from those loyal to the Han legacy.
Jing Province was important because it was strategically located along the Yangtze River, making it key for controlling the region and launching military campaigns. It was also a fertile and economically valuable area, rich in resources and crucial for sustaining an army. Despite the wealth in Shu and Ba, Jing's strategic position and resources made it a hotly contested area during the Three Kingdoms period.
