Why did Zhuge Liang rank fifth in the throne that Liu Bei gave to the son of heaven when he led the king of Hanzhong?

In December of the third year of Jian 'an (198), Liu Bei won the first "Left General" military post. In the military system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the first four generals were senior officers, riding generals, riding generals and guarding generals. The generals after the two generals are miscellaneous generals. In the second year (199), Liu Bei left Xudu and declared against Cao Cao. After that, Liu Bei took over the ribbon of General Zuo and never gave up. In fact, in Xudu, in November of the 12th year of Jian 'an (2007), Gongsun Kang, the governor of Liaodong, beheaded Yuan Shang's younger brother in order to show his loyalty to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao made Gongsun Kang the left general.

At that time, the heads of this table were General Hou of Pingtian Village, General Shi Zhenjun, General Pang, General Ying Si, General Han Shou Ting Hou, General Zhang Fei, General Xin Hou, General Huang Zhong and General Zheng. It can be seen that Zhuge Liang ranks fifth after Ma Chao, Pang, Dao Yuan. Zhuge Liang's ranking is very low, because he can only rank fifth in Shu Han.

In fact, as early as when Liu Bei led Yizhou Animal Husbandry, Zhuge Liang was already the second person in Liu Bei Group. According to historical records, "Zhuge Liang was the shareholder, Fazheng was the master, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were the minions, and Xu Jing and Jian Yong were the guest friends", which shows that Zhuge Liang attached great importance to Liu Bei. After all, Zhuge Liang is the chief strategic planner of Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang summoned refugees, helped Liu Qi go to Jiangxia, established Soochow, and even helped Liu Bei occupy four counties to manage the internal affairs of Shu after Battle of Red Cliffs. At that time, most of Liu Bei's political operations, taxation, military supplies and even talent recommendation were managed by Zhuge Liang. Therefore, Zhuge Liang has long been an indispensable minister of military stocks for Liu Bei.

On this list, Ma Chao was once a prince, and Xu Jing had the status and reputation of the Han Dynasty. He is the leader of immigration, the first powerful faction in Shu, the leader of the Eastern Zhou Army, and Pang is the local powerful figure in front of Shu. Either the official position is big and the reputation is prominent, or Liu Bei gave Yizhou's hometown a heroic face. In Jingzhou Group, Zhuge Liang is worthy of the name, so there is no problem in the ranking of this list.
