In modern society, many people often say that they have lost jingzhou carelessly, in order to express their mistakes and pain. The source of this sentence is that Guan Yu's Northern Expedition led to the seizure of Jingzhou, and then led to a slippery slope after Liu Bei's clique, and even Zhuge Liang could not reverse it.
Therefore, many people believe that if Guan Yu had not been allowed to guard Jingzhou, but for someone else, the fate of Liu Bei's group might have been rewritten, and the Three Kingdoms might not have belonged to Sima Yan.
So the question is, in the real historical record, if Guan Yu is to be replaced, then who can replace it?
According to historical records, at that time, there were about five available people in the Shu Han clique, and these five people were known as the five fierce generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, namely the eldest Guan Yu, the second zhang fei, the third Huang Zhong, the fourth Zhao Yun, and the old fifth Wei Yan.
Some people may ask, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are five tigers saying that they will be said, why is Ma Chao not listed? Because in the real historical records, although Ma Chao was respected by Liu Bei, he has always been only a face-to-face figure who recruits aristocratic talents, so he has never been reused, just a vase. As a rising star, Wei Yan was quite powerful at that time, and had already become a mainstay when Liu Bei was crowned king.
So let's take a look at this Shu Han Wu general, which of them is more suitable for zhen shou Jingzhou? If you don't look at the later ending, I personally think, but any ruler with vision will choose Guan Yu, or Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will go together. Why? Because Liu Bei Group not only has to consider the actual situation, but also he also needs to think about political balance.
You must know that at that time, Guan Yu was the most prestigious person in Liu Bei's army, and Guan Yu and Liu Bei had an excellent brotherly relationship. Only Guan Yu's defense of Jingzhou could better deter him, and the military leaders under his hands did not dare to resist.
And what is more interesting is that at that time, Liu Bei and Jingzhou had been separated, and the traffic between the two sides was inconvenient, so if someone wanted to guard Jingzhou, it was necessary to have considerable autonomy. As recorded in the history books, Liu Bei gave Guan Yu the power to fake the festival, which was equivalent to Guan Yu already having the qualifications to be an independent king.
In fact, it was precisely because of this right that Liu Bei had not yet had time to issue an order, and Guan Yu seized the opportunity to go north. Although this move achieved the legend of Guan Yu, it also led to the failure of Liu Bei Group to rescue, resulting in Guan Yu's ashes.
Therefore, Guan Yu is the most appropriate consideration politically, but he is not the best commander in fact. This is somewhat similar to the later Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, everyone knows that the founding duke Qiu Fu is not the most suitable commander, but at that time, he became the most capable person to lead the troops as the head of the heroes. But the result was also to cause 100,000 people to perish, and eventually Zhu Di rode in person.
So the question is, if Liu Bei already knows the direction of the future, so he can consider the actual situation, then besides Guan Yu, who else can be more competent?
First of all, Zhang Fei will definitely be expelled, because compared to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and he are a commander of a nature, and Zhang Fei is not as stable as Guan Yu.
After removing Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Zhao Yun, these three people can actually do it. These people are very stable, and they will not casually venture in like Guan Yu, and it will not lead to instability in the rear.
However, among these three people, there is a difference in adapting to the actual situation. According to historical records, the pattern of Jingzhou at that time was very complicated. First of all, Jingzhou faced the suppression of the Cao Cao clique, and also faced the Eastern Wu clique that could rebel against the water at any time. Therefore, the real commander must not only consider the internal and external attacks from the outside, but also think about how to establish a foothold in the local area and properly support Liu Bei's war when the defense is proper.
To tell the truth, this is a very difficult situation to deal with, if too conservative it is easy to miss the opportunity to cooperate with Liu Bei, but if you blindly venture forward, you will become another Guan Yu. Therefore, if you want to become a good commander here, you must have strong combat ability, good defensive ability, and you must also have superior administrative ability, and even administrative ability must have one hundred points, and military ability must have ninety-eight points.
From this point of view, Wei Yan had served as a Taishou many times, and his administrative ability was good. However, Wei Yan's specialty was military, and Wei Yan basically did not do the work of staying in the rear and managing logistics. Therefore, if he is the boss of Jingzhou, then he can only complete the basic task of guarding Jingzhou but cannot coordinate with Liu Bei's cooperation, that is to say, he can only keep a basic disk, of course, when he has the opportunity, he can also fight the autumn wind like Guan Yu.
As for Huang Zhong's old master, he is also more adept at attacking, although the defensive ability is also good, and the administrative ability is also there. However, compared with Wei Yan, Old Master Huang's offensive attributes were more reportable, but the administrative management was weaker, and it was obvious that he lacked some.
Then there is only one candidate left, that is, Zhao Yun, is Zhao Yun suitable? If you look at it from the historical records, Zhao Yun is absolutely appropriate. Don't talk about the impact of recent online articles, think that Zhao Yun is a civilian official, it seems that there is nothing remarkable.
In fact, this man has a great reputation in history, known as the perfect general. Why? Because, more than once in history, it has been recorded that Zhao Yun is a comprehensive talent who is good at administrative ability and quite strategic, and at the same time has offensive ability and defensive ability, and is also good at logistics and left-behind work.
For example, during the thirty years that Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei, he successively participated in the Battle of Bowangpo, the Battle of Changshanpo, and the Battle of Jiangnan Pingding, in these wars, he mainly fought to guard and the queen of the palace, and changsakapo saved the little master naturally Needless to say, during which he also led the cavalry to transport Liu Bei's family and logistics weight many times, and there was no problem in the middle.
Subsequently, because of his outstanding merits, he was reused by Liu Bei and began to lead an army to fight alone. From the Battle of Izukawa, the Battle of Hansui, and the Battle of Miya. Zhao Yun's talent for war was quite extraordinary, and he was called a changsheng general by historians, which was not blown by Luo Guanzhong.
Moreover, the general Yi Wei served as The Taishou of Guiyang, the general Sima of the camp remained behind to guard the public security, and the general Yijun oversaw Jiangzhou, and during this period he also made many suggestions and suggestions to help Liu Bei stabilize the people. It can be said that in terms of managing logistics and administrative management work in the rear, Zhao Yun can even be comparable to Fazheng and others.
According to the popular saying now, Zhao Yun is a polygonal warrior, but there is no shortcoming, and he is also a general who always wins, plus his character and communication are very good, such a person does not go to guard Jingzhou, who will guard?
Personally, I think that as long as Zhao Yunzhen guards Jingzhou, at least the Eastern Wu side will not tear its face so quickly, and the diplomatic side can still pull. Even the contest with Cao Wei can also be fought back and forth, and as far as possible to cooperate with Liu Bei's side. Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Yun absolutely obeys orders and will not be as assertive as Guan Yu, which is also an important point.
Therefore, without considering politics, Zhao Yun is actually the most suitable person to defend Jingzhou. But unfortunately, in many cases, the most suitable person is not necessarily the most capable person, because the military serves politics, and Liu Bei is not a soldier, but a king of Hanzhong.
