Zhuge Liang could only seize the short period of time, because the older generation was withering day by day. The desire to be loyal to the Han Dynasty was still the mainstream ideology of the Kanto when Cao Gong first started, but after decades of melee, everyone has become discouraged. After Cao Wei created public opinion and claimed that the Han Dynasty was replaced by the mandate of heaven, fewer and fewer people were willing to revive the Han Dynasty. If Zhuge Liang wanted to counterattack the Central Plains, just like Chiang Kai-shek wanted to counterattack the mainland, the social foundation on which he was based was weaker than ever. If he doesn’t seize the last moment, then just like the "List of Teachers" said, the group of talents with international vision and experience of the Han family's prestige from the Central Plains region will be dead. After their deaths, only local talents in Bashu will succeed them. These people were born after the disintegration of the Han Dynasty. They have never left Bashu, nor have they seen anything other than Bashu. They have nothing to do with the ancient Han Dynasty. Anyone who feels that Chengdu is the largest city in the world, whether these people are capable of the Northern Expedition is another matter. They probably won't have enough recognition to revive the Han Dynasty.
Zhuge Liang is racing against time. Although the Northern Expedition is difficult to succeed, there is still a ray of hope. If this ray of hope is missed, when the older generations die thirty years later, they will all become Taiwan independence elements, that is to say, they will become Shu independence elements. It will be the same as the previous generations who supported Gongsun Shu's independence. Gongsunshu (?-36), a native of Fufeng Maoling (now Xingping, Shaanxi), was the prefect of Shu County in Xinmang, who claimed to be General Fuhan and led Yizhou Mu. In the first year of Jianwu (25 years), he was emperor in Shu, the country He became a family. Twelve years later, he was not a native of Bashu, but the system of prefectures and counties at that time was not thorough. Although the prefectures were outsiders transferred from the central government, the staff around the prefectures were all from the county. These people in this county stalked Gongsun Shu and supported him in his independence. If Zhuge Liang did not expedite the Northern Expedition for a long time, after the veterans and veterans around him died, he himself died, the new generation of people will certainly follow Qiao Zhou (201-270, Xichong, Brazil (now Xichong, Sichuan) people, minister of Shu Han , Once wrote "The Theory of Enemy on the Country", thinking that it is not suitable to reinvigorate the army. Deng Ai advances into Chengdu and urges the latter to surrender.) Such a person will inevitably produce his own local forces and will inevitably evolve Bashu into an independent force. Throw aside the banner of the Han Dynasty. This is not what he hopes to see. If this is the case, all his previous efforts will be considered in vain, so as long as there is a 0.001% possibility, he must go to the Northern Expedition, because it is weak and thin like a hairspring. A little possibility is better than no possibility at all.
Soochow is another matter. A coalition regime like Sun and Lu was an alliance of local armed forces and local tyrants. They were originally not qualified to inherit the mantle of the Han family, and called emperor only to prevent themselves from being a dwarf in comparison between the Shu Han and Cao Wei. They were originally a local government, so it didn't have the burden of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. As long as it can maintain its basics, it's not bad. What it requires is completely different from what Zhuge Liang requires, so naturally the same thing cannot be done. The paths of the two sides are different from the beginning.
