Some people asked, Liao Li and Pang Tong are equally famous, after Pang Tong's death, why did Liu Bei not use Liao Li as a military master? In fact, this old man also went to Nishikawa, but he was not invited to go, but followed. A word difference, but there is a world of difference, hey, what is going on here?
Liao Li and Pang Tong are equally famous? This statement comes from Zhuge Liang's evaluation of them.
Sun Quan has a special hobby, that is, he loves to inquire about gossip. Once, Sun Quan sent someone to Jingzhou to contact his feelings, and asked Zhuge Liang by the way: "Besides you in Jingzhou, who else is ruling with you?" ”
At that time, Liu Bei had already gone to Yizhou, Zhuge Liang was in charge of jingzhou's large and small affairs, he heard Sun Quan's words, this blue eye was taking the opportunity to inquire about my Jingzhou virtual reality! Therefore, he replied without humility: "Jingzhou has a lot of talents, Pang Tong and Liao Li are young talents, and they govern the country together with me." ”
Pang Tong's talent was recognized, and Liao Li was able to be carried out by Zhuge Liang to return to Sun Quan, which showed that he already had a certain reputation in Jingzhou at that time.
After Liu Bei served as the pastor of Jingzhou, he used a large number of local talents. Speaking of Pang Tong's promotion, it was not smooth sailing, at first Liu Bei only let him do a small Leiyang County Order, and later after the recommendation of Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, he was reused.
Compared with Pang Tong's ups and downs, Liao Li can be said to be smooth sailing, and he was caught by Liu Bei at a glance, and he was worshipped as the Taishou of Changsha before the age of 30.
However, when Liu Bei entered Xichuan, he brought Pang Tong, not Liao Li, which shows that his military ability is inferior to Pang Tong.
So, how did Liao Li get to Yizhou?
After Liu Bei attacked Yizhou, Sun Quan sent someone to collect debts and demanded that Nan Commandery be returned immediately. Liu Bei wanted to capture Liangzhou and return it, but Sun Quan was not pleased, so he ordered Lü Meng to attack the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling in the south of Jingzhou.
Lü Meng then sent a document to the three counties to persuade them to surrender Kaesong. Interestingly, Changsha and Guiyang fell without a fight, and only Lingling Taishou Haopu, who was a bit of a backbone at that time, chose to stick to it.
Regardless of the other two counties, Changsha County and Jiangxia County under Eastern Wu are staggered, that is, the front line of the four counties in the south of Jingzhou, and its choice often affects the choices of other counties.
Liao Li, who was the Taishou of Changsha at the time, neither had the courage to engage Eastern Wu, nor did he have people inform Guan Yu to come to the rescue. Although he personally did not surrender, he was no better off there, abandoning the city and running away.
This was Liao Li's first report card since he followed Liu Bei, taking the lead in abandoning the city and fleeing. When he later accused Guan Yu of losing Jingzhou without shame, he didn't know where the confidence came from?
In order to protect the strategic city of Jingzhou, Liu Bei personally led his men and horses to join Guan Yu in Yiyang, and after negotiating with Sun Quan, the two sides divided the Xiangshui river to rule, in fact, they ceded Changsha County to Sun Quan.
At this time, Liao Li came to Liu Bei again, Changsha County has gone forever, how should Liao Li, the Changsha Taishou, deal with it?
Liu Bei, far from considering Liao Li's faults, also brought him back to Ba County, and after Zhang Fei drove Zhang Guo away, he made Liao Li the Taishou of Ba County. After the Battle of Hanzhong, he was transferred to Chengdu as a waiter. To tell the truth, Liu Bei did not treat him thinly.
In 214 AD, Pang Tong was killed by a stray arrow while attacking Luocheng. Why didn't Liu Bei transfer Liao Li into Xichuan?
Although his military talent was not as good as Fa Zheng Pang Tong's death, Liu Bei still had The Shudi Inner Line Fa Zheng as a staff officer at that time, was Liao Li stronger in military ability than Fa Zheng, or did he know Shu Land better than he did?
Judging from Liao Li's resume in Changsha, Jingzhou, it can be judged that he may have the ability to govern counties and counties, but his military talent is almost negligible.
We know that Guan Yu lost Jingzhou mainly because of the lack of a good military division to plan for him. Just imagine, if Liao Li had the talents of Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong, Liu Bei could have placed him in Nan County, Jingzhou, and fought with Guan Yu against foreign enemies.
Although Guan Yu was arrogant and looked down on those scholars, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong had a way to live in harmony with him.
So why didn't Liu Bei leave Liao Li behind? Liao Li also has a very high self-esteem. The so-called one mountain does not allow two tigers, and Liao Li and Guan Yu cannot coexist in Jingzhou. This point, from his comments on Guan Yu, can be seen that "it is Yu Yi who is brave and brave, and he cannot be an army, and he is directly aware of his ears."
Therefore, for such a talent, the best choice is to let him manage a county alone, but not a strategic county, such as Changsha.
The reason why Liao Li is famous is not because his talent is comparable to Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, but because he is honored to be listed in the biography of Yu Chen, along with Liu Feng, Peng Xi and others.
When Liu Chan ascended the throne, Liao Li thought that his official position would be second only to Zhuge Liang, but he did not expect to be behind Li Yan and others. Disappointed, he began to sullen and unhappy, and when he met Li Shao and Jiang Huan, he did not know the sky and talked loudly, not only attacking Liu Bei for not understanding strategy and Guan Yu for fighting without a way, but also specially criticizing Xiang Lang, Wen Gong and others for occupying the pit and not pulling.
The more Liao Li spoke, the more refreshing he became, and he did not consider the feelings of the two listeners. The first two have passed away, you spray it, who appointed the next two? He also deliberately mentioned that Xiang Lang believed in the Ma Liang brothers, which was not clear to accuse Zhuge Liang of using the wrong horse in the Battle of the Street Pavilion? Which pot does not open which pot!
In fact, Liao Li's IQ was really not bad, and not long ago Peng Xi was killed for insulting Liu Bei at Ma Chao. The so-called lessons of the past and the teacher of the future, Liao Li not only did not have the slightest scruples, but also said bad things about the leadership to the two people, and it was strange that they did not report it?
You think, just like A and B know that Liao Li said bad things, if A doesn't report it, and B reports it, then A is an accomplice, unless they are willing to hide it, but what good is this for them? This Liao Likou did not cover up, and once the East Window incident occurred, it was the same crime to confess that the two people knew about it and did not report it. Therefore, in addition to reporting, Li Shao and Jiang Huan had no choice.
If it were not for Zhuge Liang's mercy, he would only be deposed as a commoner and exiled to Wenshan County. Otherwise, with such an IQ, playing with others, I am afraid that sooner or later I will be killed.
After Pang Tong's death, why didn't Liu Bei use Liao Li as a military master? His military ability was inferior to that of Fazheng, and his capacity was not as great as zhuge Liang's, and even if he had the honor of becoming Liu Bei's attendant, he still did not become a trusted and important minister. Tragically, IQ was later taken offline.
