Liu Bei, the Emperor of Shu Han, was the founding prince of Shu Han, and although he reigned for only three years, he laid the foundation for a three-legged situation. Liu Bei's lifelong ambition was to revive the Han Dynasty, and for this ambition, Liu Bei also visited the world's sages, and Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fazheng, Li Yan and others were once important strategists under his command. As we all know, Liu Bei did not unify the country, and although he ascended the throne as king, he did not fulfill his ideals. After the defeat at the Battle of Yiling, Liu Beituo was alone in the White Emperor City, and eventually died of illness in the White Emperor City.
As a generation of emperors, Liu Bei naturally has his own inner ideas, he reuses Zhuge Liang and others, just to seize the world, if the world is determined, Liu Bei will inevitably make some amazing moves. So, if Liu Bei seized the genius, who would he execute?
After Liu Bei seized the Title of Emperor of the Three Kingdoms, he would inevitably execute Ma Chao, why did he say so?
Ma Chao was the son of Ma Teng, a former Western Liang army, and after Ma Teng was killed by Cao Cao, Ma Chao raised an army to attack Cao Cao. In the Battle of Tongguan, Ma Chao was defeated by Cao Zhi, and later, he submitted to Zhang Lu's command, and it was not until Liu Bei entered the river that Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei. From here, we can see that Ma Chao was also a prince of the party, and he only surrendered to Liu Bei after his fall.
He was also a prince, and he also had prestige, so Liu Bei would definitely not leave Ma Chao. Ma Chao controlled the Western Liang Army, which was the object of Liu Bei's jealousy, and if Liu Bei seized the world, out of consideration for the safety of future generations, Liu Bei would inevitably find ways to disintegrate this force. He absolutely did not allow a soldier and horse that threatened the imperial court to exist, nor did he allow Ma Chao to stand on his own, so Liu Bei's seizure of the world would inevitably kill Ma Chao.
Liu Bei claimed the title of emperor of the Three Kingdoms, and the second person to kill was Zhuge Liang. As Liu Bei's military master, Zhuge Liang knew Liu Bei's inner thoughts too well. It is precisely because Zhuge Liang is extremely clever that Liu Bei has to guard against it. Just think, how can a monarch stay with a man who can guess the inner thoughts of the monarch? Cao Cao forced xun yu to kill, gouge forced to kill Wen, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen, many dynasties after the founding emperor ascended the throne, killing heroes is a common thing, these are also lessons for the past, like Liu Bei, an emperor with a monarchical mind, naturally will not allow zhuge Liang to exist.
Zhuge Liang knew Too much about Liu Bei himself and the inside story of Shu Han too well, which made Liu Bei have to use his murderous heart against him. Cunning rabbits die, lackeys cook, birds are exhausted, and good bows are hidden, which is also the general practice of the monarch of the heroics.
Liu Bei claimed the title of empress dowager of the Three Kingdoms, and the third person to be killed was Wei Yan.
Although Wei Yan was a general of the Shu Han Dynasty, he was born as a general. Before Wei Yan defected to Liu Bei, he had been a subordinate of Han Xuan, the Taishou of Changsha, and because of Han Xuan's suspicions, Wei Yan had to raise an army to kill Han Xuan. Wei Yan was disloyal to Shang, which was also what Liu Bei feared the most. Just think, how can a monarch keep a man who is unfaithful to the monarch? Although Wei Yan had made great contributions to Shu Han, after all, he was a subordinate general, and when Liu Bei seized the world, he would inevitably be suspicious of him, and over time, Wei Yan would die.
The fourth person Liu Bei wanted to kill was Liu Ba. Liu Ba was originally a subordinate of Liu Zhang, the assassin of Yizhou, and before Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Liu Ba was resolutely opposed to Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan, so he was also one of Liu Zhang's radicals. As the leader of Yizhou's Shilin, Liu Ba was also well-known in Yizhou, and although he later surrendered to Liu Bei, he was still unwilling in his heart. Because of Liu Ba's position in Yizhou Shilin, Liu Bei had to guard against it. If Liu Bei took over the world, Liu Ba would be executed no matter what, only in this way could Liu Bei dispel the hatred he had once rebelled against himself, and only in this way could Yizhou Shilin return to Liu Bei's orthodoxy.
Fa Zheng, who had once submitted to Liu Bei's command, was also the object of Liu Bei's jealousy, but Fa Zheng was good at scheming, so he was of great help to Liu Bei's seizure of the world. Although the prestige of Fa Zheng in Yizhou was not as good as that of Zhang Song and Li Yan, he was also a famous scholar in Yizhou, and Liu Bei was also wary of such a figure. Although he did not dare to say that Liu Bei would attack Fa Zheng, at least he had lowered his official title. Because only in this way can Liu Bei be fully in power.
Liu Bei said that the empress dowager must be thinking about his descendants, for the sake of the Liu family's Jiangshan Yonggu, even if he did not want to use the knife, he would hurt the killer, but history did not give Liu Bei this opportunity.
