浅析诸葛亮发动北伐战争的战略目的

On the Strategic Purpose of Zhuge Liang in Launching the Northern Expedition

“一生谨慎”的诸葛亮深知蜀汉政权偏居西南一隅之地，国力、军力都远不如曹魏，然而却一反常规，率众五出祁山，北伐曹魏。通过发动北伐战争，诸葛亮达到了确立其个人威信，为蜀国培养、发现、辨识人才，提高蜀军战斗力，开拓疆域，缓和内部矛盾，标榜正统和以攻为守等诸多战略目的。

Zhuge Liang, who was ＂cautious all his life＂, knew thoroughly that Shuhan Regime was tucked in the corner of southwestern China with its national and military power incomparable to that of Caowei Regime. However, he did what was contrary to his usual way of doing things by leading his troops to go out of Mount Qi five times for the Northern Expedition. Through the launching of the Northern Expedition, he succeeded in establishing his personal prestige and fostered, discovered and identified talents for State Shu. In addition, he realized a multitude of strategic purposes of raising the military power of the army of State Shu, pioneered frontiers, alleviated internal contradictions, flaunted legitimism, and took attack as a way of defense.
