The actual first half of Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms recounts the strife in the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the crowd chased after the deer, until Cao Cao's son Cao Pi usurped Han to establish himself, Shu Han Liu Bei immediately became emperor, and Eastern Wu Sun Quan was also crowned king of Wu by Wei, which marked the real beginning of the Three Kingdoms era.
Before the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, the co-lord of the world was still under house arrest by Cao Cao in XuDu, the Han Xian emperor Liu Xie, this Liu Xie was initially young, was favored by Dong Zhuo Ofi of Xiliang, and thought that it was easy to control, so he was forcibly dragged to the throne, and later Dong Zhuo, the ambitious wolf who wanted to covet the throne, actually attracted a group of hyenas, and the princes of the Eighteenth Road of the World came to kill Dong Zhuo under the banner of saving the King of Qin, and Emperor Xian of Han became the spoils of war that the princes of the world competed for!
At that time, Yuan Shao, the most powerful prince in the local region, had not yet become the leader of the Eighteenth Route Princes, and had also come up with a brilliant plan that could really establish the state for the Han Dynasty, that is, to support an elderly and prestigious Liu Clan who Dong Zhuo was very jealous of and could not control as emperor, just like Zhou Bo supported Liu Heng as Emperor Wen of Han, and he wanted to usurp the emperor. The Lü clan came to a bottom of the pot to draw salaries, and everyone killed the rebels and no longer had to throw rat traps.
I have to say that at that time, Yuan Shao's IQ was very online, this strategy was really clever, and there was indeed a person who was the best qualification to inherit the throne of the Han Dynasty, this person was named Liu Yu, the character Bo'an, he was a descendant of Liu Qiang, the king of the East Sea, the half-brother of the Han Ming Emperor Liu Zhuang, and friends familiar with the Book of Later Han should know that this Liu Qiang was originally the prince born to Guo Hou, and later after the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu deposed Guo and established Yin Lihua, Liu Qiang gave up the position of prince to Liu Zhuang, the younger brother born to Yin Lihua, that is, the later Emperor Hanming.
If this Liu Yu had inherited the throne in full accordance with Yuan Shao's strategy, and his prestige and popularity at that time were enough to quickly quell the war, I am afraid that there would be no more strife between the princes in the Han Dynasty, let alone the Three Kingdoms Era, and the social principles of the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties might have lasted for more than two or three hundred years, and it is not yet known. However, this Liu Yu was more benevolent and virtuous than Liu Bei, but the power and strategy were far from it, and eventually he died of death, but unfortunately the Han Dynasty was also ruined.
Liu Yu lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, at the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he served as the pastor of Youzhou, one of the thirteen states in the world at that time. The people of all ethnic groups in Youzhou are very grateful for his kindness, and the local Xianbei, Wuhuan, Buyeo and other tribes pay tribute to the imperial court on time every year, and they do not dare to invade the border, and the people of Yizhou are very happy.
Liu Yu also served as a Boping County Order in his early years, and because of his noble moral character, simple temperament, and fair handling, he rarely saw thieves in Youzhou, and even natural disasters rarely occurred, and locust plagues occurred in neighboring counties, but the locusts flew to the Boping land boundary, and they all immediately turned around and flew elsewhere.
Later, the Yellow Turban Army attacked the counties of Jizhou, and Liu Yu went to quell the rebellion as the Ganling Xiang of Jizhou, and he used the strategy of Enwei and Shi to quickly quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jizhou, and was later promoted to the imperial court as zongzheng in charge of the clan. However, due to the perennial turmoil in the north, and the imperial court believed that Liu Yu had considerable prestige in the north, the people of all states were very grateful to him, so the next year, they sent him to Youzhou as a pastor of a state.
After Liu Yu arrived at Jicheng, the capital of Youzhou, he immediately reduced unnecessary troops and showed kindness and faithfulness to the people, and the rebellious bandits soon surrendered and collapsed. Not long after, the head of the bandit was also cut off and sent to Liu Yu's mansion, and the imperial court expressed shock and admiration for Liu Yu's achievements, and the Han Ling Emperor sent emissaries to Youzhou to promote Liu Yu as a lieutenant, as the third duke, and as the Marquis of Rongqiu.
However, Liu Yu resigned from the position of Tai Wei, and recommended wei wei Zhao Mo, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Yuzhou Mu Huang Huan, and Nanyang Taishou Yang to be tai wei, and the imperial court really had no way, and it was not good to disappoint Liu Yu, so he promoted these people to the ranks of the three dukes and nine secretaries, and Liu Yu accepted the position of tai wei.
Later, when Emperor Ling died and the young emperor Liu Yu succeeded to the throne, he did not want Dong Zhuo to depose Liu Zhuo and establish Liu Xie as emperor, to overthrow the emperor and monopolize the government, so he immediately sent emissaries to Youzhou to appoint Liu Yu as the Grand Sima and was made the Marquis of Xiangben, in order to envelop Liu Yu. Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were more than a million people who fled from Qingzhou and Xuzhou to take refuge, and Liu Yu accepted these displaced people as much as possible, and gently said that he would make sympathy for them, making corresponding arrangements for them to settle down, and many displaced people were moved to cry bitterly and wept, and they were no longer willing to migrate.
Although Liu Yu is the head of the three dukes, his life is very frugal, the clothes he usually wears are very plain, he eats very little meat, and the powerful and powerful Junjie near and far are usually very extravagant, and now under Liu Yu's influence, there is no change of heart, and since then the local atmosphere has also changed.
Not long after, the imperial court ordered Zhonglang to take Gongsun Zhan against Wuhuan, but to be subject to the control of Liu Yu, the mu of Youzhou. This Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei were once classmates in the same window, and the relationship between the two was indeed good, which is also described in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Gongsun Zhan relied on his powerful cavalry, did not pay attention to anyone in the territory of Youzhou, and actually allowed his subordinates to harass the people everywhere, and Liu Yu hated such an official who did not know how to love the people, so he had a disagreement with Gongsun Zhan.
Not long after, news came from the imperial court that The Great Master Dong Zhuo was bullying the young Emperor Xian, and frequently posed aggressively, and the courtiers and the princes of the four sides were very worried about Dong Zhuo's ambitions, so there were Jizhou Assassin Shi Hanfu, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Shandong and other northern generals to discuss together, wanting to establish Liu Yu, the most prestigious and elderly emperor in the Han Sect's room, and thus stabilize the Han Dynasty.
Han Fu, Yuan Shao, and others asked Lelang Taishou Zhang Qi to send this common resolution to Youzhou, and asked Liu Yu to choose the title of emperor on the day. Liu Yu saw Zhang Qi, and after hearing this news, he became angry: "The world is in chaos like this, Emperor Xiandi was forced by Dong Thief, those of us who are courtiers are deeply favored by the country, we should have cleared the national thief for the Son of Heaven, a snow country shame!" You high-ranking officials occupy the prefectures and counties, and you don't really want to think about how to work together to defend the Han Dynasty and mountains together, but you have come up with such a bad idea that is like rebellion and rebellion, and you still want to drag me into the water, becoming a sinner who has misled the country and misleaded yourself, and will be covered with dirt and spread to all generations in the future! So he resolutely refused to accept the support of the people.
Han Fu, Yuan Shao, and others retreated to the second place, pleading with Liu Yu to serve as a consul and a priest and undertake to make a consecrated state, that is, it was equivalent to the chancellor plus the supervision of the country, so that the government decree was equivalent to the imperial court because of Liu Yu, and Dong Zhuo's order could not represent the son of heaven, but Liu Yu cherished his reputation, still refused to accept such a pragmatic and beneficial approach to the country, and also beheaded the envoy sent by others.
At that time, Liu Yu's son Liu He was serving as a servant in the palace, and Emperor Xian secretly sent Liu He to Wuguan and asked him to go to Youzhou to ask Liu Yu to send troops to save King Qin. However, when Liu He went to Nanyang, yuan shu in Huainan, after learning of this, actually took Liu He as a hostage, but instead sent another person to Youzhou to report the news, inviting Liu Yu to send troops to the King of Xiqin, with the intention of restraining Liu Yu's soldiers and horses. Liu Yu then sent thousands of elite cavalry to meet Liu He and rescue Tianzi together, but Yuan Shu did not let Liu He go, nor did he send troops to serve the king, Liu Yu? negative? Seeing the helplessness, he had no choice but to give up and think of a good strategy.
When Gongsun Zhan learned of Yuan Shu's treacherous plan, he also resolutely dissuaded Liu Yu from sending troops, but Liu Yu refused to obey. Gongsun Zhan wrote to Yuan Shu, asking him to keep Liu He in custody and then find a way to seize Liu Yu's military power. Liu Yu also learned of this news, and since then, his vendetta with Gongsun Zhan has become deeper and deeper.
Later, Liu He himself found an opportunity to escape, all the way north back to Youzhou, did not want to be detained by Yuan Shao in Jizhou again, it turned out that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan had always been at odds, and Gongsun Zhan was named Liu Yu's subordinate, Yuan Shao also knew the contradiction between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, he wanted to use Liu He as a hostage to oppress Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan in a fierce fight.
At this time, Gongsun Zhan also repeatedly fought with Yuan Shao and suffered setbacks, but he never gave up, and Liu Yu was very worried that he would either go to ruin or become the hegemon of the north after defeating Yuan Shao, and there was no one to restrain him. Therefore, he obstructed him every time he sent troops, and Gongsun Zhan was furious, openly disobeying Liu Yu's orders and dispatches, and intensified his aggression against the local people.
Liu Yu often gave gifts to various tribes in huyi on the border, which were also intercepted and taken by Gongsun Zan, and it was useless for Liu Yu to forbid his illegal acts, so he wrote a song to inform the imperial court, and Gongsun Yu also reported to the imperial court that Liu Yu, as a magistrate, was very ineffective in transporting military food, resulting in repeated defeats in the campaign to kill Wu Huan. In this way, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan sued each other, and the imperial court could not decide who was right and who was wrong.
In order to deal with Yuan Shao and guard against Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan built a very tall and strong castle in Jicheng. Liu Yu repeatedly asked Gongsun Zhan to come to negotiate peace, and Gongsun Zhan said that he should not be ill. Liu Yu couldn't bear it anymore and had to plot against him. But his secretary Wei You said to him: "When today we are all under your guidance, why should we be like a minion, not to mention that nominally he is still your subordinate, supporting the entire Han Dynasty, doesn't Ming Gong need to have the temperament of a hundred rivers and rivers?" Isn't there a need for such a courtier's minions to act as wings? Gongsun Zhan Wentao Wuluo was a talented person, although there were some small sins, Ming Gong still tolerated it for the time being! The pedantic Liu Yu listened to such a pedantic remark, and actually felt that it was doubly reasonable, so he dispelled the idea of eradicating Gongsun Zhan.
Wei You fell ill and died, but the contradiction between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan intensified day by day. Later, Liu Yu really couldn't bear it, and personally led 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Gongsun Zhan. Before leaving, his subordinate Cheng Xu suddenly threw off his helmet and ran to Liu Yu and said, "Although Gongsun Zhan has committed crimes and mistakes, the imperial court has not yet explicitly declared it, but Ming Gong now wants to add up with military might, so that cannibalism and disaster xiao wall are really very unfavorable to the country!" And Gongsun Zhan is very good at fighting, once we fight with him, victory or defeat is also difficult to predict, it is better to only strengthen the strength and armament, make a deterrent force, Gongsun Zhan saw us such a position, must be afraid of inviting disaster and come to apologize, this is the best strategy for the soldiers who do not fight and surrender! ”
Liu Yu was just when Chong Guan was angry, where he heard Cheng Xu's words, he also blamed Cheng Xu for shaking the hearts of the army, immediately beheaded to warn the three armies, and said to the army: "This crusade is only for the purpose of killing Gongsun Zhan alone, do not kill innocents indiscriminately!" And Gongsun Ji of Youzhou had the same surname as Gongsun Zhan, and recognized the same sect, and had been treated favorably by Gongsun Zhan, so he quickly ran to Gongsun Zhan to inform Him of Liu Yu's military operations.
Gongsun Zhan was horrified when he heard this, and it turned out that his cavalry had been wandering outside on vacation during this time, which frightened him into quickly digging tunnels to escape. When Liu Yu's army rushed to the outside of Gongsun Yu's army camp, he saw that there were still houses around him, and refused to ask the soldiers to set fire to them, causing Gongsun Yu's soldiers to rely on these houses to circumvent Liu Yu's army and horses for a long time, Liu Yu did not understand military affairs, and he could never attack Gongsun Zhan's camp.
At this time, Gongsun Zhan had already eased up, gathered the most elite hundreds of dead soldiers under his command, rode on the strong wind, set fire to the people's houses outside the camp, and rushed out, Liu Yu saw this kind of position, and suddenly the soldiers and horses were in chaos, and they were completely defeated by Gongsun Zhan. Liu Yu fled north with his family and bureaucrats, but was chased by Gongsun Zhan and eventually his whole family was captured, and Gongsun Zhan did not immediately harm him, but still let him deal with official documents in Jicheng Province.
Just at this time, the imperial court sent a special envoy, Duan Xun, to Youzhou, increased the number of titles to Liu Yu, and ordered him to be the governor of the six prefectures, and at the same time conferred on Gongsun Zhan the post of former general. easy? Hou commanded the soldiers and horses of the four prefectures of You, He, Qing, and Ji. However, Gongsun Zan falsely accused Liu Yu in front of Duan Xun of wanting to win Yuan Shao and others over and support him as emperor, but Duan Xun was suspicious, but Gongsun Zhan coerced Duan Xun to supervise Liu Yu in the downtown area as a special envoy of the imperial court.
Gongsun Zhan was afraid that public opinion would not be convinced, so he prayed to the heavens in public: "What if Liu Yu? Due? If he is the Son of Heaven, the heavens will blow up the wind and rain and come to his rescue! But at that time, the weather was very hot, and there was no rain everywhere for a long time, so Liu Yu was killed in public. Liu Yu's first rank was also sent to the capital, and Liu Yu's old department? tail? Dun snatched the first rank on the road and took it back to Youzhou to be buried with the body.
In order to cover up his killing of Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan wrote to the imperial court to leave Duan Xun to do a history of assassination in Youzhou, and the people of Youzhou were deeply favored by Liu Yu and did not mourn and shed tears. When the imperial court officials Sun Jin, Zhang Yi, and Zhang Zhan, who admired Liu Yu, heard of Liu Yu's murder, they were so indignant that they ran to Liu Yu's grave and cursed Gongsun Zhan, and then all committed suicide. Later, his son Liu He followed Yuan Shao against Gongsun Zhan in order to avenge his father.
After Liu Yu's death, Gongsun Zhan sent troops to Liu Yu's residence to raid it, and the people of the world heard that Liu Yu was frugal, but Gongsun Zhan found that his wife and concubine were wearing jewelry in his palace, and at that time, when this matter was spread, people were also half convinced.
Liu Yu ( Liu Yu ) , Liu Bo'an , a descendant of Liu Qiang the Prince of Donghai , son of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty , and a mu of a state in the late Eastern Han Dynasty , ranked first among the three dukes , revered by the courtiers of the Dynasty , and the people of the four directions? admire? De, who could have obeyed the will of the people, ascended the throne as emperor, easily broke Dong Zhuo's plot to usurp power and usurp the Han Dynasty, and solved the dilemma at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in one fell swoop, and there was no need for the princes of the four sides to flock to the Capital Division, and eventually they would not form a situation of contending for hegemony, and evolved into the Three Kingdoms. Such an important figure who is related to the Han Dynasty's social welfare has missed such a great opportunity that can easily reverse the crisis, and cannot but make future generations feel sorry!
Twenty-eight years after Liu Yu's death, Liu Bei of Zhuo Commandery, who claimed to be the King of Zhuo Commandery after Emperor Xuansunsun of the Han Jing Dynasty, but after decades of hard work and preparation, finally followed the strategy formulated by Yuan Shao for Liu Yu that year, taking Western Shu Yizhou as the foundation, in Chengdu, the Han Emperor Liu Xie, who was held hostage by the Cao clan, as the Emperor of Filial Piety, and then ascended the throne as Emperor Zhaolie of Han, thus announcing the official opening of the Three Kingdoms Era.
