Zhuge Liang Zhuge Liang (181-234), courtesy name Kongming and Mr. Wolong, was a native of Yangdu, Langya County (now Yinan County, Shandong Province).

During the Three Kingdoms period, he was a minister of Shu and a famous politician, strategist and diplomat.

Due to his own wisdom and the exaggeration and publicity of the book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang became the embodiment of wisdom among the people. There is now a saying "Zhuge Liang with the benefit of hindsight", which means being wise after the fact.

Zhuge Liang also invented the Kongming Lantern and the handcart (a wooden cow and a horse).

Life and Achievements Zhuge Liang was born in Yangdu, Langya County in 181 AD, with a family background of 2,000 shi.

His mother Zhang passed away when he was 9 years old.

When he was 12 years old, his father Zhuge Gui passed away.

He was raised by his uncle Zhuge Xuan.

When his uncle died in 197, Zhuge Liang and his younger brother Zhuge Jun moved to Longzhong, Nanyang County (now west of Xiangfan, Hubei).

Although he worked hard to cultivate Longmu, he still had lofty ambitions, comparing himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi.

Later, he became friends with Xu Shu, Cui Zhouping, Meng Gongwei, Shi Guangyuan, etc. and traveled to study together. He studied with Sima Hui, Pang Degong and other famous celebrities at that time, and married the daughter of the famous celebrity Huang Chengyan.

In 207 AD, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times. Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei a plan to divide the world into three parts, which was known as the "Longzhong Dui", and he immediately came out to assist Liu Bei.

Later, Luo Guanzhong described this fact artistically, and it became a model of mutual respect between king and minister in feudal society.

After Zhuge Liang entered Liu Bei's camp, he was sent to Soochow to be responsible for uniting Wu against Cao Cao, and ultimately successfully promoted the establishment of the Sun-Liu alliance.

In the Battle of Chibi, the combined forces of Sun Quan and Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao's army, and the Three Kingdoms were established.

After the Battle of Chibi, he assisted Liu Bei in pacifying Jingnan.

After Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Zhuge Liang took command of Jingzhou.

However, Pang Tong's death prompted Liu Bei to transfer Zhuge Liang to Sichuan and assign Guan Yu to be in charge of Jingzhou's defense.

During his stay in Sichuan, Zhuge Liang mainly relied on the old subordinates brought from Jingzhou, and at the same time paid attention to winning over Liu Zhang's original subordinates and the powerful families in Yizhou.

Talented scholars from poor backgrounds were also vigorously promoted and praised as being able to make the best use of the people of the time.

His laws are strict and his rewards and punishments must be trusted.

In 221 AD, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor and established the Shu Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang was appointed prime minister and recorded affairs.

In 223 (the third year of Zhang Wu), Liu Bei became seriously ill and left Zhuge Liang alone on his deathbed.

When Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, he assisted the government as prime minister, led Yizhou as a pastor, and was granted the title of Marquis of Wuxiang.

There is controversy over when Zhuge Liang came to power.

Some people think that Liu Bei has always valued Zhuge Liang very much and has always entrusted him with important tasks.

Others believe that it was not until Liu Bei's death that Zhuge Liang took full power to implement his own ideas.

After Zhuge Liang came to power, he first rebuilt the Sun-Liu alliance. In the third year of Jianxing (225 years), the ethnic minorities in the Nanzhong region of the southern Shu Han led a rebellion in Menghuo.

Zhuge Liang personally led the army and went deep into the barren area. He adopted Ma Su's suggestion of joining the army and focused on attacking the leaders. He tried his best to win the support of the local upper class and the people, and some of them were appointed as local governors.

More than a year later, the rule of these areas was stabilized, providing material and military resources for the subsequent Northern Expedition.

In the spring of the sixth year of Jianxing (228 years), Zhuge Liang led his army out of Hanzhong and began the first Northern Expedition.

Ma Su was highly valued when he joined the army. During the Northern Expedition, Ma Su was a vanguard. He violated military discipline and was defeated by the Wei generals. He was executed with tears streaming down his face and asked to be demoted because of negligence in employment.

In the twelfth year of Jianxing (234), 54-year-old Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan during the fifth Northern Expedition to Wei State and was buried in Dingjun Mountain.
