Introduction: Regarding the two-step walk from the three points of the world to the Han Room Kexing of "Longzhong Pair", according to the shallow understanding of the small editor, the Longzhong pair is a three-point world plan. The strategy of unifying the country is too crude and too elastic to be feasible. What is it to stay until "the world has changed"? It is not clearly stated, and even if there is a change in the world, it is not feasible. Because the obvious loophole is to unify the world after Eastern Wu cooperates with itself to destroy Cao, is there such a good thing? After Dong Wu cooperates with you to destroy Cao, wait for you to destroy yourself? That kind of Eastern Wu's strategic vision of Wenwu is also too poor, is this not typical of being sold and helping people to make money? Therefore, according to this logic, Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" can only guarantee that the world will be divided into three parts and unify the country and mountains more like a big cake painted for the emperor's uncle Liu Bei before entering the world.
Longzhong on the historical background of the emergence
Let's take a look at the two people related to Longzhong, Liu Bei and Wolong Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei was known as the uncle of the Great Han Emperor, after Liu Sheng, the King of Jing in Zhongshan. Liu Bei ushered in everything with this name and ambition to revive the Han Dynasty, including Guan Zhang and Zhao Yun, whom he worshipped.
Because Liu Bei did not have a low starting point, he existed in the form of dependent princes for most of the period before the Battle of Chibi. Always in and not more than a thousand, will not be closed. Always want to find an opportunity to come out and lead the state pastor alone. Therefore, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and many other princes looked for opportunities. Although there was also an opportunity to defend the side in Xuzhou, Yuzhou and other places, they were all defeated and lost their bases (Xuzhou was given by Tao Qian, and Yuzhou was given by Cao Cao). Basically, the princes of the Central Plains had all turned to him once, and if it were not for the sect's Liu Biao's acceptance, it was estimated that there would be no place to stay.
In the case of Liu Biao's sending people here under the fence, he had the opportunity to follow Mr. Shui Jing's instructions to Wollongong to find Zhuge Liang. Through the form of Sangu Maolu, it was recognized by Kong Ming. This is where the Longzhong pair comes out.
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei hit it off and achieved three divisions according to Longzhong's strategy
Zhuge Liang has the world in his heart, and the so-called cultivation in Nanyang is just waiting for the opportunity. Zhuge Liang, who has a splendid chest, will not really live in seclusion in Maolu for a lifetime. At that time, the princes of the world were already relatively clear: Cao Cao in the north was very talented, but there were many courtiers: Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Dong Zhao, Liu Ye, Jiang Ji, and so on. Although Zhuge Liang is talented, he may not be used heavily if he goes to the effect; Zhang Zhao, Lu Su, Zhou Yu, etc. in Eastern Wu are all Jiangdong Junjie, and they are not very good objects of investment. Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, and even Zhang Lu of Hanzhong did not have the atmosphere of founding the country.
This stage really highlights Zhuge Liang's profound understanding of the personalities of Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and Zhang Lu, as well as his broad overall vision. It should be known that at that time, Liu Biao was not dead, the Battle of Chibi had not yet broken out, and even Liu Zhang and Liu Bei in Yizhou had not been in contact. The so-called relevant strategies according to the goal, goal-oriented is a process that can be completed by a strategy master.
The wealth of Jingzhou and the weakness of Liu Biao attracted the covetousness of various forces, among which Cao Cao, who unified the north, most wanted to annex Jingzhou. In addition, there was Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, and Liu Bei was the weakest of the three. Therefore, when Cao Cao's army went south after Liu Biao's death, Zhuge Liang went to Jiangdong to use Jiangdong as an object of joint effort to attack Cao Cao. To tell the truth, in addition to Zhuge Liang's strategy, Liu Bei did not have many chips to hand. In the first stage of the Longzhong pair, in fact, Eastern Wu played a role in taking chestnuts for Liu Bei's fire. Therefore, after winning the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei took advantage of the chaos to occupy Jingzhou.
First, Liu Bei's own power was weak, and second, according to the strategy of Longzhong's confrontation, the alliance between Sun and Liu was a grand strategy, so Liu Bei promised Lu Su that he would temporarily borrow Jingzhou. At this point, the first key node of the first phase of longzhong confrontation: the joint Wu resistance to Cao, the capture of Jingzhou was successfully completed. The next step is to take Nishikawa and Dinghanzhong. Don't look at the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in which Nishikawa takes it as a natural thing, in fact, here thanks to Zhang Song. If there were no Zhang Song presenting the map, and no Zhang Song and Fa Zheng should have used the excuse of Zhang Lu's invasion to request the assistance of the emperor's uncle Liu Bei into Sichuan, Liu Bei would have spent a lot of effort.
It was Liu Zhang of Yizhou who did not listen to Wen Wu's persuasion and insisted on inviting his uncle Liu Bei into Sichuan to resist Zhang Lu before he lured the wolf into the room. Otherwise, according to the terrain of Xichuan, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Liu Bei will have to take a lot of trouble to occupy Xichuan. Liu Bei was overjoyed and took Pang Tong as the commander of the army into Sichuan. Although there were repetitions and twists and turns in the middle (Liu Zhang was sober and Pang Tong was shot), under the reinforcement of the army led by Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, it was perfect to achieve the strategic cloth standard - taking Xichuan.
If Longzhong can still outwit the first two targets of the first stage, then the last Dinghanzhong is a war of attrition with Cao Cao's real sword and real gun. When Liu Bei successfully took Xichuan, Cao Cao also surrendered Zhang Lude long wangshu. Hanzhong is the gateway to Yizhou, and it can be said that whether longzhong can succeed in the battle of Hanzhong in the first stage of the three divisions of the world is very critical. Therefore, Liu Bei did not dare to be idle, and almost launched all the available forces to start a two-year-long war with Cao Cao in Hanzhong. The war almost depleted the wealth accumulated by Yizhou for many years, and it was only when men and women were lucky that they finally defeated Cao Cao. Perfect realization of longzhong pair of a section of the stage of the three divisions of the world strategic concept.
Longzhong's feasibility of reviving the Han Room in the second phase
In any case, Longzhong's strategic concept of the first phase was perfectly realized, and Liu Bei was able to establish the Shu Han regime as emperor in Chengdu. After taking Hanzhong, Liu Bei's control of Yizhou, most of Jingzhou, and Hanzhong's power reached its peak. Let's not talk about Guan Yu's careless loss of Jingzhou and the loss of the strategic fulcrum, longzhong's vision of the second phase of the revival of the Han Chamber and the old capital is more like a beautiful vision. Like the flowers in the water and the moon in the well, it seems to be visible, but it cannot be touched.
Let's look at the second stage of the Longzhong pair: across the Jing, Yi, Baoqi rock obstruction, west and Zhurong, south Fuyiyue, external good Sun Quan, internal revision of political reasoning; if there is a change in the world, then order a general to take the army of Jingzhou to Xiangwan and Luo, the general body led the people of Yizhou out of Qin Chuan, 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.
The core point of the second stage is to unite with Sun Quan and wait for the world to change in Jingyi Erzhou. Then, in the case of Sun Quan holding Cao Wei on behalf of Shu Han, he sent troops from east to west to Xinghan to destroy Cao. But in the middle of this, didn't Wolong Zhuge Liang consider The feelings of Eastern Wu?
Will Shu Han allow Eastern Wu to divide after destroying Cao? Can't it; Eastern Wu let Jingzhou, a strategic fulcrum that can go down the river at any time to attack the capital City of Jianye, regardless of it, is it possible to cooperate with Liu Beixing to restore the Han Dynasty? Wait for Liu Bei to clean up after Cao Cao and then clean up after himself, there is no such fool. As long as the time is ripe, Eastern Wu will seize Jingzhou. Close the Yangtze River to eliminate their own threats. As for the changes in the world, if the Shu Han sent troops, Eastern Wu would not have a Northern Expedition? If there is such a day, it is estimated that an east-west regime will be formed: south of the Yangtze River, neither side has a chance; north of the Yangtze River, Wu and Shu will each rely on their own abilities. The blue dashed part of the figure below shows:
If this were the case, the historical confrontation between things like the Eastern and Western Wei or Northern Qi and Northern Zhou might have been staged in history in advance.
brief summary:
In summary, the second phase of Longzhong's revival of the Han Chamber and the return of the old ones are difficult to achieve. Therefore, I personally feel that Longzhong is a three-kingdom plan, not a strategy for unifying the country.
I am the emperor of history, welcome your attention; if there is a flaw, the axe is right.
