Northern Expeditions
The Northern Expeditions (北伐) were a series of five military campaigns launched by the state of Shu against the northern state of Wei from 228 to 234. All five expeditions were led by the famed statesman and commander Zhuge Liang (諸葛亮). Although they proved unsuccessful and indecisive, the expeditions have become one of the most famous conflicts of the Three Kingdoms period. In popular history they overlap with the "six campaigns from Mount Qi" (六出祁山). It shall not be confused with the Northern Expedition led by Chiang Kai-Shek.
