Lord, you have changed
Looking at Liu Bei's history of struggle, there is a very interesting phenomenon. Taking Liu Bei's killing of Liu Feng as a watershed, in zhao yun's words, it was: "Lord, you have changed." That is to say, Liu Bei obviously began to "play music and dance" willfully.
In fact, this is a good explanation, before Liu Bei has always been based on benevolence and righteousness, from cao cao and Sun Quan like the slaughter of the city record, let alone the precedent of killing the killer. But when Liu Feng was killed, Liu Bei had already successfully struggled in stages, and when he became emperor, how could he always have benevolence and righteousness and grace, but no thunderbolt means! Otherwise, the team can't bring it.
But the classic case that best illustrates this problem is not killing Liu Feng. After all, Liu Bei didn't want to kill at that time, but Zhuge Liang didn't agree: "Liu Feng is so fierce, it's your righteous son, you can hold it." But who will be able to restrain him after a hundred years? ”
Zhuge Liang's sentence is too cruel, and it has two meanings. First, if you pass the throne to your own son Liu Chan and leave your righteous son Liu Feng, sooner or later you will let Liu Chan fall into a "brother-killing" stain, and even do not rule out the two fighting. Second, if you don't kill him, do you want to pass the throne to Liu Feng, the righteous son? Sorry, if so, I Zhuge Liang was the first not to agree!
Therefore, Liu Bei killed Liu Feng with tears. So what is the most classic case? It was Liu Bei who killed Peng Xi.
This matter directly involved: Pang Tong, Fa zheng, Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao, these four Shu Han bigwigs. It can even be regarded as one of the most serious infighting in the Shu Han. But if you want to understand the ins and outs of all this, you need to start with Peng Xi first.
Second, the prisoner of the mane is a genius
According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Peng Xi was a native of Guanghan, Sichuan, who belonged to the local powerful forces in Yizhou, and was very talented and famous, but only under Liu Zhang, he became a small official in charge of clerical work. The gap between this pair of Peng Xi was also too big, which made him very indignant, so all kinds of complaints soon reached Liu Zhang's ears.
Liu Zhang was furious, what? You even dare to complain about me! Without saying a word, he gave a "punishment of forceps", that is, shaving off his hair and then putting an iron snare around his neck. The so-called harm is not great, but the insult is extremely strong.
The reason why Liu Zhang handled it in this way is probably related to the situation in Yizhou at that time, he was a foreigner who wanted to rule Yizhou, and he was bound to divide and balance the local strength of Yizhou. Therefore, Liu Zhang's father Liu Yan, after entering the Sichuan government, reused and trusted his old team: the Dongzhou faction, and divided and suppressed the local powerful faction in Yizhou.
Liu Zhang basically continued this old routine. Unfortunately, Liu Zhang, regardless of prestige or means, was obviously uncontrollable. It made the Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou faction sharply antagonistic, and eventually both sides wanted to get rid of him.
For example, why did Zhang Song sell Shu? The reason is here, Zhang Song is the representative figure of the Yizhou school.
Like Li Yan of the Dongzhou sect, why did he also surrender to Liu Bei? Liu Zhang's contempt for him was abnormal, making him, a frustrated person of the Dongzhou Sect, very dissatisfied!
This is the consequence of the irreconcilable contradictions, both sides scolded Liu Zhang for being "weak and incompetent", and they were full of strength to change the lord!
In this context, Peng Xi complained about Liu Zhang, why can he still live and only give humiliating punishment? The reason is very clear: Peng Xi is not fighting alone, he represents the voice of the Yizhou faction.
In any case, Peng Xi became a prisoner of the skull. Soon after Liu Bei entered the river, Peng Xi saw the hope of turning over, and the squire came, but first looked for Pang Tong. why? One Liu Bei is the eldest brother, how can it be easily seen? The second is that Pang Tong is Liu Bei's military master, and he is also a famous soldier, and he belongs to the same category as Peng Xi.
In this way, after Pang Tong and Peng Xi were in a flow, they suddenly shouted: Wizards! Hence the "great good.".
At this moment, the Dongzhou Sect's wizard Fa Zheng had surrendered to Liu Bei. He knew that Peng Xi, like himself, was despised and humiliated by Liu Zhang. The so-called same fallen man at the end of the world is now standing in a trench, plus Peng Xi is indeed talented, so Fa Zheng also admires it and thinks that he is a wizard. So Pang Tong and Fa Zheng recommended Peng Xi to Liu Bei together.
Third, dongzhou school wizards and Yizhou school wizards
With the recommendation of these two big coffees, it is conceivable how Liu Bei will attach importance to Peng Xi. Without saying a word, he stayed by his side, gave him extraordinary trust, and often let Peng Xi convey orders to his subordinates on his behalf.
I have to say that Liu Beitai is too good at buying people's hearts. Although Peng Xi was not sealed with an official position at this moment, by letting Peng Xi appear repeatedly, he conveyed the signal that "Peng Xi is my Confidant Liu Bei". Not only did Liu Bei's men begin to respect him, but also made Peng Xi actually soar to the sky - yesterday he was still humiliated by Liu Zhang's "prisoner of the skull", and today is Liu Bei's confidant, can he not be excited?
Nowadays, it is necessary to make a summary, why do Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and even Liu Bei attach so much importance to Peng Xi?
As mentioned earlier, Peng Xi is the spokesperson of the local tycoon forces in Yizhou, and he dares to spit on Liu Zhang. Now that Liu Bei wants to get Xichuan, he naturally has to attach great importance to it and release goodwill to the powerful forces in Yizhou: I Liu Bei is not Liu Zhang, and I will give you good fruit to eat. unbelief? See what I do with Peng. The so-called Peng Xi can be used as a hundred thousand soldiers.
With Liu Bei captured Xichuan. The contradiction between the Dongzhou forces and the Yizhou forces that were originally placed in front of Liu Zhang was placed in front of him. Want to eliminate? Liu Bei will be anxious - he is also an outsider, just balance the two sides, let yourself sit firmly, how can you kill one side?
As a result, the representative figure of the Dongzhou Sect, Fa Zheng, who is also a wizard, made a grand appearance! According to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the Fa zheng at this moment is like a villain who has the will, "the virtue of a meal, the resentment of the eyes, all revenge, the unauthorized killing and destruction of a number of people", so that people all found Zhuge Liang and asked to manage the Fazheng, which is too bad.
However, Zhuge Liang educated the people with his backhand, which generally meant: You only see that Fa Zheng is evil, but if there is no Fa Zheng, can Liu Bei get Xichuan? Take a long-term view.
Why did Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang suddenly become so unreasonable? This is one of the wonderful uses of Fa-rectification. Liu Bei was an outsider, and if he wanted to stand firm in Xichuan, he had to alternate between carrots and sticks. So who is better to wield this stick?
Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang? All bad! Therefore, Fa Zheng took up this big stick -- whoever disobeys Liu Bei, I Will Make Fa Zheng look good! unbelief? Let's look at what happened to Peng Xi.
After Liu Bei won Xichuan, he was given the title of "Zhizhong Engaged ... Above the people of Chuzhou", peng Xi also became a figure like Fazheng, a representative of the powerful forces in Yizhou (above the people of Chuzhou). Therefore, like Fa Zheng, "all kinds of arrogance, self-restraint has to meet the aggravation." It's just lawlessness.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang changed his face, "Repeatedly secretly speaking to the Lord, with a broad heart and broad ambitions, it is difficult to be safe." This means that this Peng Xi is too capable of making trouble with moths, and sooner or later it will make it difficult for Nishikawa to survive. So after Liu Bei made some observations, he released Peng Xi and transferred him away from Chengdu, the center of power, and let him become the "Taishou of Jiangzhou".
Zhuge Liang was so disgusted with Peng Xi that he reported to Liu Bei several times (repeatedly secretly speaking to the Lord)?
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei are also difficult! If Peng Xi of the Yizhou Sect is also like Fa Zheng, is it equivalent to returning to the "weak and incompetent Liu Zhang's period", and both sides are deadlocked, making them dissatisfied with the boss! Therefore, it is necessary to suppress one side. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei chose the Dongzhou Sect, that is, Fazheng!
This is the logic of Zhuge Liang's thick Fa-rectification and hatred of Peng Xi, and how arrogant peng Xi is not--on arrogance, is he better than Fa-rectification?
4. Ma Chao's whistleblowing
And so it is. Peng Xi was unusually dissatisfied with Liu Bei's disposition, because it meant the defeat of Yizhou's powerful forces.
Therefore, Peng Xi found Ma Chao and said: Liu Bei is a veteran oil son, which is like Ma Chao? It is better to "the secretary is outside, I am inside, and the world is not enough." That is, am I not going to let Jiangzhou Taishou out? Simply, I am outside to help, you attack inside, not to mention little Nishikawa, even the world is not a problem.
This remark scared Ma Chao crazy! That night, he informed Liu Bei. Liu Bei was furious, and this was a proper rebellion. Therefore, he killed Peng Xi.
The last question, from the evaluation of Pang Tong and Fazheng, Peng Xizhi seems to be no less talented than Fazheng, why did Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang choose the Fazheng of the Dongzhou Sect and kill Peng Zhen of the Yizhou Sect?
There is only one reason. Looking at the Three Kingdoms period, all the local powerful forces are strong and cooperate with whom! Later, Liu Chan's surrender was a masterpiece of Yizhou's powerful forces, and at that time, all the powerful forces in Yizhou were led by Yu Zhou.
That is to say, in the late Shu Han Dynasty, the powerful forces of Yizhou had become the mainstream. Even if Liu Chan wanted to resist, if they didn't cooperate, there were 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals in the city, and it wouldn't work—it was worse than the situation when Liu Zhang surrendered!
The Dongzhou Faction was the backbone of the original entry into Sichuan with Liu Yan, and strictly speaking, it also belonged to foreign forces, and naturally Zhuge Liang's Jingzhou faction and Liu Bei's elder faction inevitably chose the Dongzhou faction to cooperate - it was determined by its own attributes, not as a wizard or arrogant decision!
