Speaking of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, everyone can think of the era of dictatorship and chaos, the rise of the masses, and the relatively stable period of the three divisions of the world in the future.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperors changed frequently, including many young "child" emperors, "foolish" emperors with low intelligence, and a series of inactive monarchs such as "Huan Emperor, Ling Emperor, And Emperor Lai", and the continuous change of imperial power led to the political instability of the central government, and those who may not be emperors can not recognize all the subordinates.
So that later, the Yellow Turban Uprising, the great country did not have the strength to counterinsurgency, and the need for all states and counties to "recruit township braves and resist on their own" Was undoubtedly to release military power to the localities, and in the face of such a declining country, this directly led to excessive local power and beyond the central control. Liu Bei once said, "When the Yellow Turban is calm, it is the day when the masses rise together."
Judging from the current situation of the existence and demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty regime at that time, this was indeed the case, and at this point, Liu Bei and a series of people who wanted to be the tyrants of the chaotic world began a series of competitions.
The situation is formed
I have to say that Liu Bei's early luck in this aspect is really not bad, a person who weaves mats and sells shoes, coincidentally coincides with Guan Zhang and Zhang, it will rain heavily, he will go to Zhang Fei's home to drink and talk, who knows how to talk about each other, Liu Bei revealed his heart to the two, the three of them hit it off, decided to do something big,
Liu Bei "only hates insufficient financial resources", Zhang Fei "sells wine and slaughters pigs, quite a family asset", Liu Bei "fears that a single tree will not become a forest" Guan Yu "If you do not give up, a certain willing to follow". Since then, there has been money and people, and the three of them have "married as brothers and raised great things together."
At the beginning of the period, the situation was weak, relying on others everywhere, and finally realized the importance of self-establishment of a foundation, sought talents everywhere, and in the name of his faith and righteousness in the four seas, he was full of benevolent people from all over the world, and Xu Shu recommended Zhuge Liang to him when he was leaving, thanks to Liu Beisangu, asked him to come out of the mountains to help, and then counted the battles and victories.
It is also a joint with Eastern Wu to break the Cao Army, to get Pang Tong, across the two rivers, just as the so-called "Wolong Phoenix Chick, two get one, can be safe in the world" Now both belong to Liu Bei, the revival of the Great Han, just around the corner. Later, it established the Shu Han regime, which was relatively weak among the three kingdoms in the future.
Cao Cao "blackmailed the Son of Heaven to order the princes" to entrust the post of chancellor and seize the power of the emperor, which can be said to be above ten thousand people under one person, and Chibi was defeated, so that he did not dare to go south at will, but the northern Central Plains region was still there, and an army of millions still existed. The strength of "Great Wei" is still unquestionable and cannot be easily shaken.
As for Sun Quan, in contrast, some of them sat back and enjoyed their success, at first Sun Ce established a business in Jiangdong, after Sun Ce's death, the foundation was passed to Sun Jian, and after Sun Jian was passed on to Sun Quan, this is obviously "picked up ready-made", the so-called "has been in the past three generations, the country is rich and the people are rich", coupled with the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, it can be said that it occupies the geographical advantage. Later, Eastern Wu also existed the longest during the Three Kingdoms period.
Rise and fall
After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi usurped han, and in order to continue the luck of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was the emperor, and then Sun Quan was proclaimed emperor, and the confrontation situation was formally formed.
Later, Guan Yu "carelessly lost Jingzhou" was killed by Eastern Wu, Liu Bei "Longyan was furious" sent troops to Eastern Wu, was burned by Lu Xun after the camp was entrusted to Zhuge Liang, died of illness in the White Emperor City, Zhuge Liang reconciled with Eastern Wu regardless of his previous suspicions, "the south has been determined, the armor is enough" after leading the army to the Northern Expedition many times, and then died for many reasons.
Then Deng Ai's divine soldiers "parachuted" into Chengdu, and the later lord Liu Chan surrendered, and the Shu kingdom ended.
The most powerful state of Wei was usurped by Sima Shi, and then Sima Yan established the Jin Dynasty, destroying Eastern Wu in 280, and the Three Kingdoms situation ended.
Think big
The Jin Dynasty established by Sima Yan also prospered briefly and then declined rapidly, and was eventually destroyed by ethnic minorities. Then imagine, if there had been heavy rain in the sky, if there had been no loss of the street pavilion, if the phoenix had not fallen, Jingzhou had not been preserved, the second master had not been killed, and Fa zheng had not died of illness.
Pang Tong guarded the river, and the five tiger generals went out with Cheng Xiang to fight and seek thieves, which was enough to overcome the Central Plains and restore the Han Room.
Liu Bei will win the world. However, as the saying goes, "Gong Gao Zhen Lord", first Han Xin was "wiped out of the clan", and then there was Zhao Kuangyin's cup of wine to release the military power, and many famous generals in history were stripped of their military power or directly executed after reunification.
So if the final winner of the world is Liu Bei, then which two heroes were killed first?
The most likely is first of all Guan Yu, Eastern Wu did not rush to take Jingzhou, nor did it cross the river in white, and Guan Yu would not die, so after Liu Bei unified the Central Plains, the most likely to be executed was Guan Yu.
Although it is said to be the "Taoyuan Three Knots of Righteousness", as far as the later "Xuanwumen Change" is concerned, the brothers still hurt the killer, and the feeling of worship is even more fragile. Guan Yu was no better than Zhang Fei, although he despised him slightly better than him, but he was brave and strategic, and he held a high position of authority.
From the early time of Zhuge Lianglong, the advice to Liu Bei was that the importance of "if there is a jing and a benefit, protect its rocks" is obvious, and calling Guan Yu alone to guard Jingzhou shows Liu Bei's trust in him, flooding the Seventh Army, and going to the meeting with a single knife, which shows his wisdom and courage, which is enough to show that Guan Yu is a great marshal in the Shu Han Dynasty.
If Liu Bei is the ruler of the world, Guan Yu is the founding father, and at that time, in addition to the marquis reward, the most important thing may be that he has a heavy army. In addition, Guan Erye's personality can be said to be extremely arrogant, and even no one in sight, knowing that Ma Chao "did not reduce Lü Bu's courage in that year", many letters to be higher and lower, it is estimated that no one except Liu Bei may not pay attention to it.
If Liu Bei gets rid of him, it can be said that it is for future consideration, Liu Bei will definitely take him as the head of the horse, but one day he will also die, after his death, Liu Chan will succeed to the throne, regardless of whether Liu Chan is wise or not, once Liu Bei is not there, will Guan Yu listen to him? The answer is clearly no.
Therefore, if Liu Bei completes reunification, whether he wants to do anything for the future of Shu Han, or clear the way for Liu Chan to ascend to the throne, even if he carries the name of treachery, the first one is most likely to kill Guan Yu, who holds a heavy fist.
It is said that there is another person Liu Bei will also be eliminated after reunification, that is, Xiliang Ma Chao, who is also a capable general, after rebelling against Cao Cao, his father was killed by Cao Cao, in order to avenge Ma Teng's revenge, Cao Cao cut off his robe and abandoned his robe at Tongguan, and then spread rumors by the Shu army at Yemeng Pass, and finally defected to Liu Bei at the time of dilemma, becoming one of the five tiger generals.
Cao Cao, who rebelled in the past, can also rebel against Liu Bei today. Ma Chao has no information since he entered Liu Bei's command, in fact, the historical Ma Chao has not been reused.
In addition, Ma Chao surrendered not only their brothers, but also a large number of Xiliang people and horses, which can also be said to be Ma Chao's cronies, obviously it is impossible to take this large number of people and horses for their own use because of Ma Chao's surrender, and if Ma Chao has a different heart in the future, not to mention its own combat effectiveness, but the Xiliang cavalry that is brave and good at war is not easy to deal with.
It can be seen that if Ma Chao did not die of illness, after Liu Bei unified the world, he himself would be doomed.
Although all kinds of ideas are possible, zhuge Liang's profound strategy is already clear in his heart, but he does not say that it is broken.
