Where to look at Shenzhou? Full of scenery North Gulou. How many things have risen and fallen through the ages? long. The Yangtze River is not endless. --"Nangoko Dengjingkou Beigu pavilion youkai"
Friends who know about the Three Kingdoms should know that Liu Zhang and Liu Bei are bleeding from the royal family, and some people speculate that these two will not be distant relatives. Yes, they really have a relationship. Liu Yu, the son of Emperor Jingdi of Han, was the ancestor of Liu Zhang, and Liu Bei was actually a descendant of Liu Sheng, the King of Jing in Zhongshan, and Liu Sheng was also the son of Emperor Jing of Han, so that Liu Bei and Liu Zhang were one family three or four hundred years ago.
During Liu Zhang's tenure in Yizhou, he still treated his subordinates and the people very well, and his character was still reasonable, so why did Zhang Song, Fazheng, Wu Yi, Zhang Yan and others defect to Liu Bei? Then we will understand the reasons behind this matter.
When he became the pastor of Yizhou, he established the Dongzhou Soldiers
Later, after Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang, with the support of his father's subordinate Zhao Yun, successfully became the pastor of Yizhou and began a twenty-year reign. During this period, Liu Zhang discovered that Zhao Yun, who had originally supported him as the pastor of Yizhou, had launched a rebellion, and then he immediately organized an army to defeat him, and Zhao Yun was also killed by his subordinates after the defeat. Liu Zhang firmly controlled Yizhou in his hands and became the hegemon of the party at that time.
During the twenty years that Liu Zhang ruled Yizhou, the entire Eastern Han Dynasty was in its most chaotic period. After the powerful minister Dong Zhuo was killed, Emperor Xian of Han did not escape the fate of becoming a puppet, and was successively controlled by Li Dai and other ministers. The frequent wars of the Eastern Han Dynasty led to the displacement of the people around chang'an, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and refugees continued to migrate south to the relative safety of Yizhou to escape the war.
Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan, did not drive the refugees away, but generously accepted and resettled the refugees, and also organized the young and middle-aged among them to establish a unit, the Dongzhou soldiers. This force later became a major force for Liu Zhang, helping him stabilize the entire Yizhou region. Liu Zhang's right-hand men, Fa zheng, Meng Da, and others all migrated from the Chang'an region to Yizhou, and also belonged to the Dongzhou soldiers.
In fact, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son belonged to the foreigners who established their own forces in Yizhou. Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's hometown was Jiangxia County, which is today's Tianmen in Hubei Province, and Liu Yan had just come to Yizhou in order to use the local forces in Yizhou to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army. Later, Liu Yan had his own troops, dongzhou soldiers, so he used the dongzhou soldiers to attack the local forces in Yizhou. The purpose of this was to stabilize his rule in Yizhou, and Liu Zhang completely inherited his father's political ideas.
He was betrayed miserably and had no choice but to surrender to Liu Bei
Just as the combined forces of Cao Cao and Sun Liu were fighting fiercely, Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang saw that Cao Cao was about to defeat Sun Liu's combined forces and unify the Jiangnan region. Therefore, in order to protect himself, Liu Zhang sent Zhang Song to visit Cao Cao, hoping to befriend Cao Cao and ask him not to attack his own Yizhou. After Zhang Song came to Cao Cao's station, Cao Cao did not care about Zhang Song at all, and Zhang Song must have been very angry at Cao Cao's contempt, so he went back and told Liu Zhang to let him make friends with Liu Bei.
Zhang Song is a native of Yizhou, he is deeply valued by Liu Zhang, and his status in Yizhou can be said to be above ten thousand people under one person. However, Zhang Song, because he was personally angry, persuaded Liu Zhang to befriend Liu Bei and fight against Cao Cao, and the idea of welcoming Liu Bei into Sichuan was also proposed by Zhang Song. Liu Zhang agreed to Zhang Song's proposal, because Cao Cao was powerful and ambitious, and once Cao Cao conquered Hanzhong, then the next target must be Yizhou, so Liu Zhang decided to welcome Liu Bei to Yizhou.
After Liu Bei came to Yizhou, Liu Zhang hoped that Liu Bei could defeat Hanzhong and then rely on the dangerous terrain in Hanzhong to block Cao Cao's southward movement, so that Liu Zhang could sit back and relax. But what he did not expect was that after Liu Bei arrived in Yizhou, he did not send troops to attack Hanzhong, but was stationed at Yeyin Pass. Liu Bei falsely claimed that Sun Quan had been attacked by Cao Cao and was ready to bring troops to help Sun Quan.
Obviously, this seems to be the bureau set up by Liu Bei, who exchanged Zhang Song for an attack on Yizhou. Liu Bei first led his troops from Ye MengGuan to the south, attacked Yizhou, and finally Liu Zhang also submitted to Liu Bei, from the beginning to the end, Liu Bei only used more than three years.
The multitudes rebelled and went their separate ways out
Why did Zhang Song, Fazheng, Meng Da, and Wu Yi betray Liu Zhang and turn to Liu Bei? What comes out is two words: weak. When Zhuge Liang also evaluated Liu Zhang, he also used weakness, saying that he was weak and incompetent. The reason why everyone betrayed him is also because he is not capable enough, can not save Yizhou, Liu Zhang's lifelong struggle is to divide one side, but the reality is very bone, Zhang Song, Fazheng and other people can see clearly, and then we will talk about the reasons for each person separately.
Zhang Song felt that Liu Zhang would definitely not be able to do great things in the future, sooner or later he would fail, it was better to find another way out as soon as possible, when he and Fa Zheng met Liu Bei, they found that Liu Bei was the best choice to jump ship, and it would be no problem to take Yizhou, for their own future, they resolutely and resolutely defected to Liu Bei. Fa Zheng is similar to Zhang Song, the only difference is that Liu Zhang does not value him much, and Fa Zheng feels that he can be competent for a larger position, has a heart of blood, and ling yun is ambitious but not a great instrument, which is the reason why he betrayed Liu Zhang.
Meng Da is similar to Fazheng, there are more than 10,000 people behind Meng Da, which is one of the few in the whole of Yizhou, but it is still not subject to Liu Zhang's weight, what are you waiting for if you don't jump ship. Speaking of Wu Yi and Fei Guan, the two are still related to Liu Zhang, and even relatives do not help their own family, it is conceivable that Liu Zhang is mixed up a lot, on the other hand, it can also be seen that people are selfish, they all chose Liu Bei for their own selfish desires, Li Yan's reason for turning to Liu Bei was similar to that of these people in front of him, when Liu Bei hit Mianzhu, Li Yan saw it clearly and surrendered decisively.
epilogue:
Liu Zhang, like Yuan Shao and Liu Yu, treats the people very kindly and cannot stand the people's sins, but this cannot hide his unreasonable, weak and incompetent nature, which is also an important reason for the failure.
Xiao Bian felt that the reason why Liu Zhang would be betrayed by others was obviously very much related to his strength, on the contrary, Liu Bei's super strength was indeed the best candidate for the Lord of Yizhou, no matter when, he still had to speak with strength.
