Dying orphan - Liu Bei
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many people, of which Liu Bei, as a contender for the world, competed with Cao Cao and Sun Quan for the power of the world, when the crowd was competing for deer, and soon the Three Kingdoms were mutually contained, and finally Cao Cao seized power. However, after the partial unification of the world, he did not claim the title of emperor, and he was still a subject.
Until Cao Cao's death, his son Cao Pi took the initiative to force Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate, and when he became the founding emperor of Cao Wei, he posthumously honored his father Cao Cao as Emperor Wu.
Cao Cao was able to make a difference thanks to Sun Quan's help, when he was recognized as a strong contender for the world, and Liu Bei defeated Cao Jun during the twenty-year battle for Hanzhong, and eventually gained power.
In the same year, Cao Cao and Sun Quan joined forces to take Jingzhou, and then Sun Quan killed Guan Yu, which also meant removing Liu Bei's right and left arm, and eventually declaring himself a vassal to Cao Cao. In the early historical records, Cao Cao died of illness in 220, but at this time Liu Bei still carried out the great cause and did not give up. The following year after his death, in order to retaliate against Sun Quan, he chose to sneak attack, and after killing Guan Yu, he led an army to attack the State of Wu, but was unexpectedly burned by the fire.
The famous Battle of Yiling ended in defeat for the Shu state, and Huang Quan had no choice but to surrender to Cao Wei. The defeated Liu Bei fled to the White Emperor City, so he was devastated, and at this time he could not afford to be ill, so he had the White Emperor City to be alone.
As we all know, the object of the White Emperor's trust was Zhuge Liang, who was indispensable in the Three Kingdoms struggle for hegemony at that time, and was also the strategist behind Liu Bei, so their mutual trust should be entrusted. However, after entrusting it, Liu Bei resolutely designated Li Yan as his deputy, and together with Zhuge Liang, he was entrusted with the edict to assist the young lord and unify the internal and external military forces.
Why orphan Li Yan?
Most people felt that Liu Beituo's real intention was to balance Zhuge Liang, not to let him take charge of all the military forces of Shu Han as he appeared, which was inseparable from the failure of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. However, after a period of open and secret fighting, Li Yan was also abandoned, and eventually the two ministers were both defeated.
Li Yan was completely a nobody around the famous Zhuge Liang, but he was deeply trusted by Liu Bei, which made people suspicious, in fact, the reason was very simple. There were many ancient ministers, but the people who could be entrusted with isolation were not very human, and Zhuge Liang quickly integrated after joining Liu Bei, which seemed to the army to be convinced.
I have to say that Zhuge Liang occupies a certain position in Liu Bei's heart, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei cannot be compared with each other. However, Liu Bei also had some scruples about him, among which "Ah Dou can not be replaced" is a potential suspicion.
The famous scene of history is that Zhao Yun killed Liu Chan in the Cao army with his back to Liu Chan in Changshanpo, and Liu Bei summoned Zhao Yun before he died to protect Liu Chan, after all, these two people can be regarded as a friendship of birth and death, if someone is unfavorable to Liu Chan, I believe Zhao Yun will be the first to oppose.
However, Liu Bei also had a back hand, and he asked Liu Chan to worship Zhuge Liang as his father, the purpose of which was to worry that Zhuge Liang would have evil thoughts about Liu Chan after he replaced him, and the saying that "the tiger poison does not eat children" was still prevalent in ancient times.
Li Yan was Liu Bei's last move, he was not reused after he surrendered from Liu Zhang's camp, nor was he the core figure of Liu Bei's power, but instead used Zhuge Liang as the core of Shu Han, which gave people a feeling of incongruity.
Zhuge Liang had a high prestige in the Shu Han camp, and if Liu Bei died, it was very likely that the world would be vulnerable to others. Li Yan and Zhuge Liang were under him, and these two also represented different forces. Zhuge Liang accompanied Liu Bei in his conquest of the world and belonged to the old ministry, while Li Yan belonged to the new upstart forces that he had surrendered.
The most important thing is that General Li Yanwu was born and had the role of stabilizing the regime, which is a fact that Zhuge Liang cannot surpass. In 218, when Liu Bei conquered Hanzhong, Li Yan commanded five thousand soldiers to fight and won more with less, so it seems that he was very outstanding in the military battlefield and was a rare talent.
Although Li Yan was a man who practiced martial arts, his political mind was also very developed, and he was competent to be too punctual to rely on his excellent political ability to not only chisel through the Tianshe Mountain, but also build avenues along the river, so as to make "the officials please the people" and "the view of the tower is magnificent, and it is a state that wins the universe".
Li Yan can not only have strong strength, but also in terms of personality is also very lonely, self-esteem, he likes to be alone, does not like to interact with people, so he naturally will not submit to Zhuge Liang.
At the Battle of Yiling, when Shu Han was defeated and Liu Bei's rule was threatened, he subsequently restarted the Dongzhou clique to concentrate talented people, and Li Yan was promoted to Shang Shuling at this time.
Zhuge Liang claimed that the political status of Liu Bei was quite high, but unfortunately there was no real power because he did not open a government, and Liu Bei at that time followed the political system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his power was mainly concentrated in Shang Shutai, so Shang Shu Ling was a higher official position.
At this time, Li Yan held real power in his hands, which was a threat to Zhuge Liang, and he also served as a "RecordEr of Shangshu" in Shangshutai, and the power in his hands could compete with Li Yan, so the two sides balanced each other and had equal ability.
Liu Beituo mainly asked Li Yan to "unify the internal and external military forces and stay in the town of Yong'an", which implicitly meant that he wanted him to be responsible for the war in Yong'an after his death. At that time, Yong'an was small but very critical, and Liu Bei, who was in a weak position, repeatedly pulled up a defensive line to prevent Wu guo from attacking.
The end of the right thing
The contradictions between Li Yan and Zhuge Liang intensified not long after Liu Bei's death, and Zhuge Liang at that time was good at strategizing, with more natural means and strategies than Li Yan, and Li Yan was obviously struggling in front of him. In 226, Zhuge Liang sent an army to recruit Cao Wei and deliberately transferred Li Yan to Hanzhong, but Li Yan refused.
In 230, Cao Wei entered the Han Palace, and at zhuge Liang's request, Li Yan led an army to resist, and his son Li Feng took over Jiangzhong, and Li Yan's resistance again escalated the contradictions to the point of irreconcilability.
The following year, Zhuge Liang sent Li Yan to transport grain and grass, but the bad weather led to insufficient supply of grain and grass and was eventually impeached by Zhuge Liang, and finally he was dismissed from the official Lu and stripped of his official titles and fiefs, and the fate was dismal.
