Hello everyone, I am learning from history.
In this issue, we analyze the growth and comparison of the strength of Cao Liu and Liu through the three rebellions that broke out under the rule of Cao Wei in the 23rd year of Jian'an, and witness the peak of Liu Bei and Guan Yu's life glory. I like to remember to like oh!
In the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in order to show Cao Cao's domineering and treacherous, there is a plot of the Tai Doctor Ling Jiping and Dong Cheng's attempt to murder Cao Cao, but Cao Cao is even more old and treacherous, sees through Ji Ping's plan, and nets Ji Ping and Dong Cheng.
In fact, in real history, Ji Ping and Dong Cheng were two rebellions separated by nearly twenty years. Dong Cheng was killed by Cao Cao in the fifth year of Jian'an because of the matter of the edict, while the Taiyi Ling Jiben (Ji Ping in the Yanyi) was nearly twenty years later, and in the first month of the twenty-third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was absent from Xuchang, and launched a rebellion in conjunction with the Shaofu Geng Ji and Si Zhi Wei Huang. The ending was also very tragic, Cao Cao did not come forward, and he was destroyed by Cao Cao's chancellor Shi Wangbi.
Because of the influence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many people thought that it was an isolated incident planned by Emperor Xian of Han and Taiyi Ling Jiben and others, which was actually proof that Liu Bei Guanyu group gradually gained the upper hand at that time.
In Pei Song's Notes on the Three Kingdoms, the commentary on the Three Auxiliaries' Records is quoted, mentioning the idea of Ji Ben's two sons, Ji Miao and Ji Mu, when planning a rebellion: to unite With Jingzhao Yin Jinyi, Shaofu Geng Ji, Si Zhi Wei Huang, and others who were loyal to the Han Dynasty, first kill Cao Cao's Changshi Wangbi who was guarding Xu Du, and then blackmail Tianzi and contact Liu Bei in the south to attack Cao Cao.
The ideas of Ji Mi and others were actually very well reasoned, Guan Yu did a very good job in Jingzhou (Guan Yu was strong), presented the initiative strategically, repeatedly cooperated with Liu Bei to attack, and Cao Wei was under great pressure in the south. Ji Ben and the others took advantage of Cao Cao's absence, planning to "blackmail Tianzi to attack Wei and aid Liu Bei in the south." "Almost succeeded, but unfortunately all the people who participated in the rebellion in the end were gameover.
Yi Yi was generous and had the wind of the sun, and he and Wang Bishan, because of this, if he killed, he wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to attack Wei, and to aid Liu Bei in the south. Shi Guan Yu was strong, and Wang Zaiyi was left to supervise Xu Zhongshi. - "Pei Song's Notes on the Three Kingdoms"
And only ten months after this rebellion, a rebellion against Liu Bei broke out under the rule of Cao Wei: Hou Yin's rebellion! Although this rebellion lasted only more than two months, and even the fame was far less than that of Taiyi Ling Yoshimoto's rebellion, this rebellion can be said to be a landmark event in the history of the Three Kingdoms!
After this rebellion, although Cao Wei successfully quelled the rebellion, he was completely at a strategic disadvantage, laying the groundwork for the subsequent fiasco of Yu Ban and Cao Ren, and then everyone followed the analysis of history to discuss whether this conclusion was correct.
Let's first take a look at the timeline of Hou Yin's Rebellion:
1. In the winter and October of the 23rd year of Jian'an, Hou Yin, the defender of Wancheng, rebelled;
2. In October, Cao Ren besieged Wancheng;
3. In the first month of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Cao Ren Tuwan and Hou Yin were beheaded.
A small rebellion that lasted only more than two months seems to be worth mentioning at all in the story of the Three Kingdoms, and in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms - Emperor Wu, the number of words about this rebellion is no more than five crosses, and the full text is:
In the winter of October, Wanshou rebelled against Hou Yin and others, and took charge of Nanyang Taishou, robbing the people and Bao Wan. At the beginning, Cao Ren begged Guan Yu, Tun Fan Cheng, and was the moon envoy Ren Wei Wan. Twenty-four years of spring and the first month, Ren Tuwan, chopping sound. - Romance of the Three Kingdoms - Chronicle of Emperor Wu
One would ask: How important is this little rebellion? Are you deceiving people by taking history as a lesson?
If you look at the Houyin Rebellion alone, it is indeed not worth mentioning, but if the timeline before and after the Houyin Rebellion is re-threaded, everyone will know the great significance of this rebellion.
Re-groomed large timelines:
1. Twenty-three years of Jian'an
In the first month, Taiyi Ling Jiben and others prepared to unite with Liu Bei in rebellion.
In the autumn and July, Cao Cao marched west to liu bei;
In September, Cao Cao moved to Chang'an;
In October, Hou Yin reversed;
2. Twenty-four years of Jian'an
In the first month, Cao Ren chopped Hou Yin;
In February, Liu Bei beheaded Xiahou Yuan and occupied Hanzhong;
In March, Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong from Chang'an;
In May, Cao Cao reluctantly withdrew;
In the autumn, Liu Bei was proclaimed the King of Hanzhong, and Guan Yu was made a former general.
The twenty-third year of Jian'an can be said to be a very crucial year for both Liu Bei and Cao Cao, during which Liu Bei quickly digested the occupied Yizhou and actively forged ahead, preparing to occupy Hanzhong.
One reason was that Hanzhong posed a great threat to Yizhou at the hands of Xiahou Yuan; another reason was that Hanzhong was the land of Longxing of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, and taking this place had a special significance for Liu Bei.
Guan Yu actively cooperated with Liu Bei's strategy in Jingzhou, and although Cao Cao sent Cao Ren, the second-in-command of the entire Cao Wei clique, to confront Guan Yu, Guan Yu seemed to have a certain advantage, otherwise the Three Kingdoms Chronicle would not have said such a thing as "Shi Guan Yu is strong".
In that year, after Cao Cao had quelled the rebellion of the Taiyi Ling Jiben and the ethnic minorities in the north, he felt that Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Gao were not necessarily Liu Bei's opponents, and decided to personally march west.
As a result, after Cao Cao led his army to Chang'an, Cao Wei's strategic stronghold of Wancheng rebelled again, and the Nanyang Taishou appointed by Cao Cao fell into the hands of the rebels.
Wancheng can be said to be Cao Cao's sad place, where Dianwei and his eldest son Cao Ang died. This Wancheng rebellion was just stuck at the key node of Cao Cao's western conquest of Liu Bei, and in the "Biography of Cao Cao", there is a description of Hou Yin's rebellion: Yin Yu was holding the Eastern Li Gong, rebelling with the officials, and lianhe with Guan Yu.
At the critical time node of Cao Cao's personal expedition against Liu Bei, at the key node where Guan Yu was entangled by Cao Ren and could not get out of his body, Hou Yin just broke out a rebellion, and was always ready to "Yu Guan Yu Lianhe", which means that Hou Yin and Guan Yu have nothing to do, do you believe it?
However, Hou Yin obviously played the role of cannon fodder, and Cao Ren was very aware of the important position of Wancheng, and immediately after Hou Yin rebelled, he led an army to besiege Wancheng, and in two months he attacked Wancheng and recovered the lost land with very bloody means (Tu Wan).
However, Cao Ren's price was that the advantages accumulated against Guan Yu were almost lost. At this time, Guan Yu besieged Lü Changyu in Xiangyang, cao ren at Fancheng, and also attacked Fanbei, where Pang De was stationed... Completely strategically dominant.
Cao Cao could not take advantage of Liu Bei in Hanzhong, and seeing that Cao Ren was also in trouble, he could only withdraw from Hanzhong under the command of "chicken ribs, chicken ribs", and then sent his confidant General Ban to lead the Seventh Army to rescue Cao Ren.
The next story is very familiar, Yu Ban, who had just returned from Hanzhong, did not estimate that the rainy season in Jingzhou had arrived, and Guan Yu used a flood to almost completely annihilate Yu Ban and Cao Ren Group. Later, Liang, Wu, and Lu Hun under the wei state all responded to Guan Yu's rebellion, and even Wei Yi, who was far away in Yecheng, was most likely a spy sent by Guan Yu.
This is the origin of Guan Yu's wei zhen Huaxia, and Guan Yu's sharp edge once forced Cao Cao to prepare to move the capital.
Liang, Yu, and Lu Hun were thieves or remotely received the Feather Seal number, and they were supported by the Party, and The Yu Wei shook Huaxia. Cao Gong agreed to move xu to avoid his sharpness. ——The Biography of Guan Yu of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
In such a situation, go back and read Zhuge Liang's strategic viewpoint on the center of Longzhong: "If there is a change in the world, then order a general to take the army of Jingzhou to Xiangwan and Luo, and the general to lead the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan, and the people dare not eat pot pulp to welcome the general?" If so, then hegemony can be achieved, and the Han room can be prosperous. It can be said that Liu Bei and Guan Yu and others are almost all acting in accordance with the strategic planning of Longzhong and have achieved great success.
Liu Bei led his army to defeat his fateful rival Cao Cao for the first time in Hanzhong and occupy Liu Bang's land of Longxing, which made the shadow of Cao Cao, who had been shrouded in Liu Bei's heart for most of his life, disappear and achieve great psychological liberation;
Moreover, as Liu Bei was proclaimed the King of Hanzhong and sat on an equal footing with Cao Cao's status as the King of Wei, Liu Bei no longer bowed to Cao Cao in his position;
It can be said that during the twenty-third and twenty-four years of Jian'an, the strength of Liu Bei Group was booming, while the Cao Cao Group had a tendency to decline, and the strength of Liu Bei Group reached its peak at this time.
If it continues to develop according to such a script, whether it is Cao Cao or Sun Quan, I am afraid it will be very sad.
Therefore, Cao Cao and Sun Quan, the two sworn enemies, tacitly united, taking advantage of Liu Bei's return to Chengdu to integrate the Forces of Yizhou, and quickly eliminated the Forces of Guan Yu in Jingzhou, not only removing the troubles in Cao Wei and Sun Wu's hearts, but also cutting off Liu Bei's arms, and Liu Bei never had the opportunity to restore the Han Dynasty from then on.
