The dust of history - Liu Ye of the Six Masters of the Wei Kingdom, a strategist who plotted to attack the world

author:Yujian History

  Liu Ye Ziyang, a native of Anhui, was born in a royal family, which created a good learning environment for him, and Liu Ye also learned various knowledge with famous teachers at that time. He had excelled as a teenager, and his plight had been tragic, with his mother leaving him when he was 7 years old. Before dying, he was instructed to get rid of one of his father's subordinates, and at that time, Liu Ye's father had more than one wife, so many of the servants in the family were divided into several groups. Liu Ye's mother was also often slandered behind the back of this servant, so she was afraid of endangering Liu Ye's brothers, so she asked Liu Ye to grow up and personally get rid of this person.

  At that time, Liu Ye was only 7 years old, and he certainly couldn't do this, until he was 13 years old, he caught this "servant" and personally executed this person. However, Liu Ye's father was very fond of this servant, and in order to gain his father's forgiveness, Liu Ye had to truthfully explain the situation and the motive for the killing, and his father did not blame him. (At that time, no one cared about killing a servant in the chaotic world, not to mention that he was a son of the royal family, not to look at his face, but also to see the background of their Liu family.) )

  Liu Ye joined Cao Cao's camp relatively late, a few years later than Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and others, but the moment he submitted to Cao Cao from his heart, he made a great contribution! At that time, there were many separatist forces in the Yangzhou area, and the private armed forces were the most powerful, and they also wanted to seize the opportunity to occupy a territory in the chaotic world, and they also wanted to dominate one side.

  In 196, the Yangzhou giant "Zheng Bao" heard that "Liu Ye" was very famous in the local area and was also resourceful, so he wanted to call Liu Ye to be his adviser, and Liu Ye saw that things were not good and escaped. After hiding outside for a year, Liu Ye made contact with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao sent people to the Jianghuai area to discover talents and strive to win over a group of local powerful forces. After Liu Ye saw that the emissaries sent by Cao Cao had arrived in Yangzhou, he personally went to meet the emissaries, and Cao Cao was preparing to get rid of Zheng Bao, but because the Yangzhou area was not his territory. He had no way to do anything, Liu Ye found the emissary after he knew, and set up a plan with him, inviting Zheng Bao to the reception at the official residence, and only asking Zheng Bao to be alone inside. His men could only wait in the courtyard, and when Zheng Bao came to see that the guards were tight, they guarded Liu Ye everywhere, and Liu Ye sent Cao Cao's officers to take advantage of the opportunity to give Zheng Bao a toast to assassinate him.

  But Zheng Bao brought too many people, this person did not dare to move, Liu Ye looked at him with a lot of anger, Liu Ye himself drew a saber to stab Zheng Bao to death, and cut off Zheng Bao's head to show the public. At that time, Zheng Bao was not popular, and there were many guards around Cao Cao's emissaries, so the soldiers brought by Zheng Bao all surrendered, and "Liu Ye" was elected as the new leader. Liu Ye considered that he was a member of the imperial family, and because the world was so chaotic at that time, he did not want to lead his troops to fight, so he gave these people to the Lujiang Taishou "Liu Xun" at that time. After all, they are all surnamed Liu!

  At that time, Sun Ce's development in the Jiangdong area was already very good, and Sun Ce took a fancy to the good place of "Lujiang", so he sent Liu Xun a lot of gifts and patted Liu Xun on the ass to paralyze him. Liu Xun thought that Sun Ce was showing favor to himself, and he was very happy and had some fluttering feelings. But Liu Ye did not think so, Liu Ye understood very well that Sun Ce had more than Liu Xun in terms of ability and territory. How could he make peace with Liu Xun, not to mention that at that time, Sun Ce had already deployed troops in the Lujiang area, and Liu Ye persuaded Liu Xun not to make a plan. And "Shangzhi" is not so easy to play down. Liu Xun was very dissatisfied to hear him say this, because Liu Xun felt very powerful. Don't say that it is not difficult to attack a "Shangji" even if it occupies the entire jiangxi land. He did not listen to Liu Ye's advice. With his soldiers and horses, he went to the east bank of "Poyang Lake" to kill Shangyi, and as Liu Ye said, Liu Xun not only did not capture Shangyi, but was intercepted and killed by Sun Ce's people, and Liu Xun had to flee after being defeated.

  Liu Xun took his men and horses to cao cao, and from this time Liu Ye officially joined Cao Cao's account, completely broke away from Liu Xun and became an important strategist under Cao Cao's account. Together with Cao Cao, he fought in various parts of the world and offered many times.

  In 199, Cao Cao took his men and horses to prepare to attack the "Lujiang", when the Lujiang area was occupied by the mountain thief "Chen Ce", and he also had tens of thousands of people, Lujiang was also a strategic place in Jianghuai, and there were many dangerous passes. For a while, Cao Cao did not conquer the "Lujiang", at that time the generals around him wanted to persuade Cao Cao to retreat, Liu Ye stood up and suggested that Cao Cao should not attack strongly, first sent people to persuade him to surrender and stabilize this group of mountain thieves, and then called a general to take people to deter them, at that time Lujiang was besieged for 2 months, the city lacked grain and grass, and the soldiers were starved to death. In addition, the surrender treatment given by Cao Cao was also very high, and Chen Ce surrendered with his men and horses. At that time, Cao Cao already had many strategists under his account, including Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, who were high-ranking advisers, so Liu Ye did not have a very high status among the strategists during this time, and Cao Cao also ignored him. Only "Liu Ye" was sent to manage the army's granary, but I think that being able to manage the army's granary was also out of trust and favor, the granary was a place where he saw the fire, and if he did not trust Liu Ye, Cao Cao could not ask him to manage it.

  In 200, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought at Guandu, and Yuan Shao ordered people to pile up tushan and set up a high platform to shoot arrows at Cao Cao's camp, but the defensive measures at that time were not very good, so many soldiers could only avoid arrows in Tibet. At this time, Liu Ye sent a big gift to Cao Cao, that is, he drew his own "stone throwing machine" production drawings, which helped Cao Cao a lot, and the stone throwing machine was mainly based on launching stones and could be thrown out for hundreds of meters. The high platform built by Yuan Shao was only a wooden frame structure, and the damage was very serious after being hit by stones, especially the people who were hit by stones were either seriously injured or died on the spot. In this way, Liu Ye helped Cao Cao solve this problem.

  From this time, Cao Cao regarded him as his own high-level strategist, and he also saw that Liu Ye was indeed resourceful and could also make military weapons, which was really not simple. Liu Ye was asked to follow him as a "staff member" When Cao Cao's camp really rose, it was after the deaths of "Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia" and others that he was reused by Cao Cao, and usually only handled some daily small affairs in the Xiang Mansion.

  In 215, Cao Cao's western expedition against Zhang Lu, the year in which Liu Ye ushered in the spring of his life, he was appointed chief strategist to follow Cao Cao in attacking Hanzhong, and his official position was promoted to the "main book" to take charge of the secrets. There were many dangerous mountains in the Hanzhong area, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Cao Cao repeatedly sent the general "Xiahou Huan" to lead troops to attack the enemy camp of "Yangping Mountain". None of them succeeded, and his soldiers suffered many casualties, and Cao Cao planned to collect them. At that time, although there were torches illuminated at night, it was easy to get lost, and many people broke into Zhang Wei's military camp, when the soldiers of Zhang Wei's military camp thought that Cao Jun had come to rob the camp and scared away a lot, cao Cao's soldiers saw that they had gone wrong. Scared enough to choke on both sides and run in both directions.

  Liu Ye couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene, what else was there to run, he could directly occupy Zhang Wei's second camp, and it wouldn't be very good to spend a soldier and a pawn. Xiahou Huan also felt that it was reasonable to report to Cao Cao immediately after hearing this, and after Cao Cao heard this, he felt that this was a golden opportunity, so he took his men and horses to kill Zhang Wei's Chinese army camp, at this time Zhang Wei did not know what was going on. When Cao Cao led his troops into his Chinese defense area, he was only woken up by the soldiers, but at this time it was too late to resist, and he was defeated by Cao Cao, Zhang Wei had to flee with the guards around him, he successfully ran away, but his soldiers surrendered to Cao Cao. The soldiers he brought were the main force in Hanzhong, and at that time Xu Huang annihilated many of Zhang Lu's troops at Yangping Pass, and after such a toss, Zhang Lu could not confront Cao Cao, so he had no choice but to surrender to Cao Cao. So Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong.

  

  (It can be said that this battle has nothing to do with Liu Ye's strategy, and this victory is also very funny, and he was picked up by Cao Jun by mistake, and the Hanzhong soldiers at that time would not have run if they had not been confused in the middle of the night.) It's too late to come back to God)

  At the same time that Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong, Yizhou was also occupied by Liu Bei, and Liu Ye suggested to Cao Cao that while Liu Bei's foothold in Sichuan was unstable and many people did not support him, we could take advantage of the victory and enter Yizhou. If he missed this good opportunity, waiting for Liu Bei to gain a firm foothold and then going to fight him would be more difficult than ascending to heaven, but Cao Cao did not believe that he could help him deal with Liu Bei because Liu Ye and Liu Bei were both relatives of the Han Dynasty. Did not listen to This suggestion from Liu Ye. Only reply to Liu Ye one, don't be too greedy to get Long Wangshu so bad, Liu Ye understood as soon as he heard it, this is Cao Cao does not trust himself, I thought it must be very sour in my heart, and he really wanted to help Cao Cao, and did not have contact with Liu Bei.

  A few days later, someone from Yizhou ran to Hanzhong and told Cao Cao that people's hearts in Yizhou were now very chaotic, and although Liu Bei suppressed it with all his might, he still did not stabilize people's hearts, and Cao Cao suddenly remembered the advice liu Ye had given him the other day, so he called Liu Ye to the military tent to discuss the matter of attacking Shu. Liu Ye first interrogated the person who came to deliver the letter, and after thinking for a while, he told Cao Cao not to believe this person, this is Liu Bei's strategy, it seems that they have begun to guard against us, if we rush to attack Yizhou, we will definitely suffer heavy losses and may not take "Yizhou". At this time, there was a rebellion in Cao Cao's rear, and Cao Cao had to return to Shiyi Town to suppress the rebellion, leaving Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Guo, Xu Huang and others to defend Hanzhong, so Cao Cao lost the best opportunity to destroy Shu. It was a pity, and it also laid the groundwork for Cao Cao's future loss of Hanzhong!

  In 217, Liu Bei began to prepare for the conquest of the Hanzhong region, defeating Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Guo and others, and then Cao Cao led a large army to personally engage Liu Bei in 219, but still suffered a major defeat, not to mention the heavy losses of men and horses, and the strength of the State of Wei was greatly reduced. (If Cao Cao had followed Liu Ye's advice in 215 and taken advantage of the victory to attack the State of Shu, then even if he could not occupy Yizhou, at least Liu Bei's vitality could be seriously depleted, and he would not have lost "Hanzhong", let alone because the State of Shu had the privileged geographical location of "Hanzhong".) After more than 10 years, Zhuge Liang was able to vigorously lead his troops to fight with the State of Wei for several years, and it can be seen from here that Cao Cao did not see Liu Ye accurately, and it also proved that Liu Ye as a "strategist" was much more accurate than ordinary strategists! Liu Ye's three circumference should be increased by 10%, which is too low!

  After Cao Cao's death in 220, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, and liu ye was very important when there were few important advisers left before Cao Cao, and in the same year Liu Ye was appointed as a "servant" and was given the title of marquis of the second rank, and Liu Ye also negotiated many times with generals who did not support Cao Pi. In the same year, Cao Pi held a meeting with the chancellor and asked Liu Bei if he could avenge Guan Yu, and others said that the Shu state had just lost Jingzhou, and even if they had the courage and strength to start a war with Eastern Wu, they still had to guard against our attack. Liu Ye felt that these people looked at things too superficially, he knew that Liu Bei's feelings with Guan Yu were very deep, and Jingzhou was important to the Shu kingdom and its importance, and it was the rear granary of the Shu kingdom to conquer the world, Liu Bei must not be willing to lose Jingzhou, and would inevitably lead people to attack Eastern Wu.

  Sure enough, after 1 year, Liu Bei led people to fight with Eastern Wu, but was defeated by Lu Xun at Yiling, and Cao Pi watched the State of Wu defeat the State of Shu. At the same time, there was a threat to his northern Jingzhou, and he planned to take advantage of the hostility between the Wu and Shu states to send troops to attack the Wu state. When Liu Ye heard this, he felt that Cao Pi was very weak-minded, and that he was much worse than his old son Cao Cao, so he told Cao Pi: The state of Wu is in a state of victory, and the morale of the generals is very high, at this time they can fight with any enemy. After Cao Pi listened, he felt that the idea of "Liu Ye" was very funny, we Wei Guo soldiers were strong and strong, it was not difficult to defeat Wu Guo, not to mention that many generals were still alive at that time, Cao Pi was a bit of a light enemy, to be precise, he was also very rampant and young!

  224 Cao Pi felt that the time was ripe, so he personally led his men and horses to attack Eastern Wu, Cao Pi saw that his father Cao Cao, who had fought with Sun Quan many times, also felt that Sun Quan would also attach importance to himself, and would personally bring people and horses to resist. As a result, he was very disappointed, Sun Quan did not take Cao Pi seriously at all, but sent "Lu Xun" to lead people to fight with Cao Pi, Sun Quan himself had been watching the liveliness in the rear, Liu Ye and Cao Pi arrived at Guangling together, and Cao Pi was ready to launch an attack on Jingzhou first. I want to occupy all of Jingzhou. Liu Ye said to him, you are now retreating and coming, Lu Xun is not easy to deal with, Cao Pi and Liu Ye are anxious, think Liu Ye looks down on himself, but Liu Ye still sees it, Cao Pi was finally defeated by Lu Xun, and he himself ran back to wei in a hurry.

  After Cao Pi returned to the State of Wei, he only lived for three years before he died, and his son Cao Rui took over the throne to continue to develop the cause of the State of Wei, at this time Cao Cao's previous team had few people left, and Liu Ye became the main backbone of Cao Rui. At that time, the Liaodong region was occupied by Gongsun Yuan's father and son and was in a state of division, often taking people to Hebei to plunder the cities of the Wei state, Liu Ye saw this and suggested to Cao Rui, taking advantage of the fact that Gongsun Yuan had just taken over, which was the best time to pacify Liaodong, but unfortunately Cao Rui did not listen.

  After 10 years, Gongsun Yuan did rebel, claiming that the King of Yan and the State of Wei were hostile, and began to send several large armies of the State of Wei to conquest without success, and finally Sima Yi personally led people to fight for four years before defeating and killing Gongsun Yuan's father and son, which completely pacified Liaodong.

  In 229, Cao Rui planned to use troops against the Shu state and consulted with Liu Ye on strategic points, liu Ye analyzed the situation of the Shu state very thoroughly at that time, and then felt that he could send troops to attack the Shu state, but Cao Rui did not consult with him alone. Told a lot of people about this plan. At that time, the Shu state had a traitor in the State of Wei, and this news was leaked, so Zhuge Liang did not wait for Cao Rui to attack the State of Shu, so he first led his troops to march from Qishan to attack the two places of Yongzhou and Liangzhou of the State of Wei. In this way, the State of Wei became the "passive side" of the war!

  Liu Ye died of illness in 232, and he served in the Cao Wei regime for more than 30 years, successively following Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui, and during each monarch's reign, he offered many strategies, but few were adopted, which is also the sadness of the Cao Wei regime. He successively made plans in Hanzhong, then persuaded Cao Pi not to attack Eastern Wu, and gave him a strategic plan to attack the Shu state during Cao Rui's reign, but Cao Rui spread the news, making his last plan a complete failure. The reason for the failure of his plan was not his own mistake, but the fact that the three generations of the Cao family's ancestors and grandchildren did not adopt it, which was a pity! Later, all his plans became a reality, but Wei Guo ended up as a loser.
