When it comes to Liu Bei, the world praises him, and even Cao Cao admires him and calls him a "hero". Indeed, there are not many people who can seize the opportunity to perfectly counterattack in the chaotic world, Liu Bei not only completed the counterattack, but also established the Shu Han, which can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.
In contrast, Liu Bei's successor, Liu Chan, was much worse off, not at all in the same grade as his father. When people hear this person, they don't have to describe it as "can't afford it". However, is Liu Chan really "unable to support"?
In the author's opinion, Liu Chan's ability is indeed insufficient, but it seems a bit too much to say that he can't afford to support, on the contrary, this person is actually very smart, knows how to protect himself, not so much that he does not want to be self-motivated, but rather that he is actually helpless.
First, the first emperor worked hard to start a business
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the situation in the world was in chaos, and people from all walks of life stepped forward to become the co-lord of the world. Liu Bei was originally just a small businessman selling straw shoes, but inadvertently met Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and began to go to the road of entrepreneurship.
Although Liu Bei is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, his generation has long been unknown, but the name "After the King of Zhongshan Jing" is still quite useful. In the early days of entrepreneurship, Liu Bei only had Guan Yu and Zhang Fei around him, although these two people were strong in martial arts, Zhang Fei would only cut off people's heads at every turn, and Guan Yu was also slightly lacking in strategy, and there was almost no one available.
Liu Bei wanted to start a business, but he has been suffering from no talent, and has taken many detours on the road of entrepreneurship. However, all this was completely changed with Zhuge Liang's departure from the mountain.
After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei successfully entered Jingzhou with the help of Zhuge Liang, and then followed Zhuge Liang's advice, using Jingzhou as a base area, pocketing all the easily acquired territories around him, and finally establishing Shu Han and achieving a counterattack in life.
However, despite Liu Bei's cleverness, he still made a big mistake, and after establishing the Shu Han Dynasty, he forgot Zhuge Liang's proposed policy of "uniting Wu against Cao" and attempted to annex Eastern Wu in the name of avenging his brothers. Eastern Wu is an old force, where is it so easy to shake the foundation? The ending can be imagined, the fire destroyed the foundation of the Shu Han Dynasty, not to mention, even Liu Bei himself was killed in the White Emperor City.
Before dying, Liu Bei's most reassuring thing was still his indisputable son Ah Dou, in order to save Jiangshan, he entrusted Ah Dou to Zhuge Liang, and even threatened to directly replace Ah Dou if Ah Dou really could not help him.
In order to repay Liu Bei's kindness, Zhuge Liang regarded it as his duty to strengthen the Shu Han and bowed down to fight against the State of Wei. Unfortunately, the strength of Shu Han was too weak, and even though Zhuge Liang gave all his energy, he still could not defeat the State of Wei, and finally ended up in Wuzhangyuan with regrets. Fortunately, Shu Han took advantage of the fact that Sima Yi had not yet heard of Zhuge Liang's death and withdrew the last elite, which was able to save Shu Han.
Second, Liu Chan, the young lord of the subjugated country
Do you think that keeping the last elite can save shu han? It's not that easy. The so-called weak country has no diplomacy, Liu Bei formed an indissoluble vendetta with Eastern Wu when he was alive, and after Liu Chan took the throne, there was no way to ally with Eastern Wu, and many years later, the State of Wei hit Liu Chan's lair in one fell swoop, and Shu Han was completely destroyed.
When a country perishes, nature and the lord of the country are inseparable from each other. Shu Han was dying at the hands of Liu Chan, and Liu Chan bore all kinds of insults, and the world believed that Liu Chan was a petty person, a distant sage, and a faint and incompetent monarch, which led to Shu Han becoming the first country in the Three Kingdoms to perish.
However, is Liu Chan really that weak chicken? As Liu Bei's only heir, unless he deliberately does not want his son to become excellent, it is not possible to say that Ah Dou cannot afford to support him. As the heir of a country, Liu Chan will inevitably receive the best education in the country, and his talent is certainly more than what people see.
After Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan began to develop domestic production, suspending conquests abroad, allowing Shu Han to recuperate. However, Liu Chan has always lived behind his father and father, and he does not know how to operate in the military. When Zhuge Liang died, most of the military strength was in the hands of his courtiers, and although Liu Chan had the intention of improving his military strength, he was hindered by the fact that the military generals left by Zhuge Liang were too strong, and Liu Chan could only give up.
Secondly, although the Shu Han Dynasty was said to be the Jiangshan laid by Liu Bei, there were still many old door valve nobles in the local area. Before Zhuge Liang's death, these people did not dare to be demons because of Zhuge Liang's means, but as soon as Zhuge Liang died, these nobles began to release themselves.
On the surface, they obeyed Liu Chan's command, but secretly they did not pay attention to this monarch at all, and did some things to drag the hind legs of shu Han. Under all kinds of difficulties, Liu Chan, as a monarch without roots, even if he tried his best, he still could not save shu Han's luck.
When the Wei soldiers and horses besieged Chengdu, Liu Chan surrendered to the Shu state in order to reduce casualties. At this point, the Shu Han Dynasty officially perished, and Liu Chan, as the monarch, was forced to leave his homeland and come to Chang'an, where he began a life of crisis.
Three, write down three words to escape death
Sima Zhao knew More about Liu Chan's strength than the world, and was worried that the monarch was unwilling, so he set up a feast at the Hongmen Gate. During the banquet, Sima Zhao deliberately asked Liu Chan if he still wanted to return to China. As soon as the Shu Han courtiers heard this question, they immediately told Liu Chan the correct answer, but Liu Chan told Sima Zhao that he had lived a good life in Chang'an and did not want to return to Shu Han anymore.
Because of this incident, the world's view of Liu Chan is more contemptuous, thinking that he is "happy and not thinking", but no one knows that he said this just to protect himself. Sima Zhao, who was on the side, was staring at the tiger, but whenever he said that half of his thoughts were still nostalgic for the Shu kingdom, what awaited him would be death, and the last monarch of Eastern Wu was the best example.
Although Liu Chan was careful to deal with the banquet and did not even dare to show his homesickness, Sima Zhao was still uneasy, and worried all day that Liu Chan would raise an army to restore the country, so he killed Liu Chan.
In order to ensure that Liu Chan had completely stopped thinking about restoring the country, Sima Zhao sent his courtiers to the palace where Liu Chan lived to spy, but found a new situation.
Originally, Liu Chan wrote three big characters of "Zhongshan Village" on the house where he lived. Sima Zhao was puzzled at first, but soon laughed. At that time, there were many courtiers standing next to Sima Zhao, and they did not understand why Sima Zhao suddenly laughed, and Sima Zhao did not explain, but asked the courtiers to read the three words written by Liu Chan upside down.
Originally, the so-called "Zhongshan Village" was inverted to "Zhai Shan Zhong", that is, "in the mountain". Liu Chan used these three words as a plaque on the palace, in fact, he was telling Sima Zhao that he was in the mountains and had no intention of restoring the country. Sima Zhao saw that Liu Chan knew him so well, so he did not kill him.
Small Du concluded
It is said that Liu Chan is incompetent, in fact, he is also quite sad, as a monarch, why doesn't he want to maintain the country well and let the people live and work in peace and contentment? However, while Zhuge Liang helped him, he also left many hidden dangers, so that the Shu kingdom could only eventually go to extinction. As a monarch, he also wants to have some backbone, but bone qi and life cannot be combined, he chose life, he can only abandon the bone qi.
