Zhuge Liang was a well-known military expert and politician during the Three Kingdoms period, and he almost did not lose his hand in commanding the war, and it was in this way that the people of the world would mythologize him, saying that he was the reincarnation of a god and immortal, and he could pinch and calculate. However, he was indeed a man of talent and strategy, and he was also deeply valued and respected by Liu Bei, but what everyone was curious about was that since Zhuge Liang was so talented and deeply trusted by Liu, why did Liu Bei not give him all the military power before his death, but handed it over to Li Yan?
The first point: Considering the rights and interests and emotions of the Shu clan, Li Yan was once a minister under Liu Zhang, when Liu Bei happened to enter Sichuan, but because the laws formulated by the Shu Ke were too strict, the scholars could not enjoy the benefits, but some local clans were suppressed in this regard, so they began to have emotions and began to resist Liu Bei's rule.
Therefore, in order to allow the local warriors and other scholars to enjoy the benefits, Liu Bei ordered Li to seriously formulate the Shu Ke, which not only satisfies the rights and interests of the scholars, but also allows them to continue to support their rule. In addition, Li Yan had been a subordinate of Liu Zhang, and he knew more about the local Shu situation, so liu Bei was of course relieved to entrust this matter to him.
Coupled with the later loss of Jingzhou, the Shu state fell into a dilemma, in this crumbling situation, Liu Bei could only let Li Yan grasp a large amount of military power, at least this can comfort the emotions of Liu Zhang's former subordinates, so that their physical and mental body and mind can not waver, the situation can be relatively stable, after all, this is only beneficial to their rights and interests, not harmful.
In this regard, Li Yan has a relative advantage in military power, of course, in terms of command and military, Zhuge Liang is not weaker than Li Yan, but there are not many opportunities to show before Liu Bei's death, and the new ginger can resist one side, and the old ginger can rest. Therefore, because of the above reasons, Liu Bei had no choice but to let Li Yan serve as a number of military powers in order to consider the interests of Liu Zhang's corporal clan, and it was not that Zhuge Liang's talent was inferior to his.
The second point: power needs to be balanced in order to restrain each other, in terms of political power, Liu Bei has already appointed Zhuge Liang as the prime minister, if he gives him the military power again, it is bound to make others dissatisfied, and it is difficult to say what will happen to Zhuge Liang in the future? Although he had the determination to bow down and die, Liu Bei did not dare to take any risks, even if he believed zhuge Liang, he did not dare to believe the other ministers.
Dispersing the imperial power was good for his son Liu Chan, and the ministers suppressed each other, and no one could turn over the thousand-layered waves. Therefore, Zhuge Liang had political power, Li Yan had military power, and the two of them jointly assisted Liu Chan and served the emperor, which was really perfect. However, Zhuge Liang is not completely without military power, but most of the military power is not in his hands, and it is easy to regulate people, after all, his military ability is not blown out!
