Zizhi Tongjian: Liu Zhang of the Three Kingdoms is weak and unbroken, is this a good thing?

Yizhou engaged Zheng Du heard that Liu Bei had raised an army and was preparing to attack Chengdu. Zheng Du was very anxious and immediately said to Liu Zhang: "Liu Bei's lone army went deep and attacked from afar, and the total number of his soldiers was less than 10,000, and they did not wholeheartedly attach themselves to him, and the army did not weigh heavily, and only relied on looting to feed."

Therefore, the best way is to drive all the people in Brazil and Zitong to the west of neishui and Fushui, burn all the grain materials in the warehouses of Brazil and Zitong, and burn all the crops in the fields.

Liu Bei led the army to challenge, and we could not hold out. They have nowhere to loot grain and grass, but in a hundred days, they will inevitably retreat automatically, and when they retreat, we will attack again, and we will definitely be able to capture Liu Bei. ”

After Liu Bei heard the news, he was very worried and asked Fa Zheng for countermeasures, and Fa Zheng said: "Liu Zhang will not adopt Zheng Du's strategy in the end, you don't have to worry. ”

Liu Zhang said to his subordinates, "I have heard of resisting the enemy to protect the people; I have never heard of moving the people to avoid the enemy." ”

No need for Zheng Du's strategy.

There are quite a few people with vision under Liu Zhang,but they have not been reused by Liu Zhang!

Like Zheng Du in this story, the best plan to resist Liu Bei has been sent to Liu Zhang, but he still does not adopt it.

Zhuge Liang once said that Liu Zhang was weak when he was in Longzhong.

This weakness includes the inability to identify and appoint talent.

The plan given by Zheng Du to resist Liu Bei was actually very good, as long as the wall was cleared and dragged on for three months, Liu Bei's grain and grass ran out, and they themselves collapsed!

Zheng Du's method should be a very perfect method, after all, there is no need for soldiers to fight, you can take Liu Bei and save your own territory.

It is a pity that such a talent Liu Zhang actually abandoned and did not use it.

But then again, Liu Zhang did not use Zheng Du's plan, and chose to surrender directly, so that the people of Xichuan were saved from war and safely passed into the hands of Liu Bei.

This is a good thing for the people of Nishikawa.

If Liu Zhang adopted Zheng Du's method and surrounded Liu Bei, then Zhuge Liang Guanyu and others who were far away in Jingzhou were bound to lead an army into Sichuan for the sake of the Savior Gong, and then there would be more people on both sides!

This is not what Liu Zhang wants to see.

Although Liu Zhang's was weak, he was still quite passable to the people under his rule, and did not let them suffer too much from the flames of war, which had been done well in the chaotic world at that time.

Sometimes, a person is said to be weak, and it is not necessarily a good thing!

What do you think about this?
