In 234 AD, after three years of preparation, Zhuge Liang took 100,000 troops and started the fifth Northern Expedition in his life, which was also his last Northern Expedition in the eyes of the world. Different from the previous times, Zhuge Liang even persuaded Sun Quan to let him fight with Wei, but who knows that Dongwu was quickly defeated by Wei, leaving Zhuge Liang's army alone. It was Sima Yi who confronted Zhuge Liang's army. Sima Yi knew that the Shu army had been marching for many days and only wanted to make a quick decision, but insisted on not fighting. The two armies were deadlocked for hundreds of days. Finally, Sima Yi seized the opportunity that Zhuge Liang was unable to lead the army due to illness and launched an attack on the Shu army. The Shu army had no choice but to retreat, and Zhuge Liang died in the Northern Expedition, which lasted for six years.
Zhuge Liang was familiar with geomantic metaphysics before his death, and made plans for his grave before his death. He left a last word that he must be buried in Dingjun Mountain after his death, which is clearly recorded in the Water Mirror Note. For Zhuge Liang's choice, later scholars speculated that one reason was that he devoted himself to Shu, and he would defend Shu here even if he died; There is also a saying that Zhuge Liang was afraid of revenge from his enemies and dared not be buried in Chengdu. After Dingjun Mountain was selected, Zhuge Liang still entrusted him. His body was buried in a coffin, which was transported all the way to the south by soldiers, where the rope was broken and the coffin was buried.
Although the soldiers had all kinds of doubts, they still did so after Zhuge Liang's death. Walking, I didn't expect the rope to really break somewhere. The soldier stopped at once, knocked several heads and buried Zhuge Liang's coffin in the ground. The above is about the strange things that happened when Zhuge Liang was buried. Bian Xiao dare not say much about the truth of the story, but so far no one has been able to make a reasonable explanation. So where is Zhuge Liang's tomb? No one knows this, but later generations have to discover it.
