During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao and Liu Bei competed for the world, and these two made many efforts to achieve the final victory. In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, the Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan families had always been in a state of confrontation over the question of the ownership of the world. When Cao Cao and Liu Bei competed for world domination, Cao Cao's power gradually increased, and he also changed from the once unknown small role to the most powerful force in the Three Kingdoms.
But even though Cao Cao's strength grew, he still didn't get what he wanted. In the late Three Kingdoms, after the pattern of the Three Kingdoms had gradually stabilized. Sun Quan began an alliance with Liu Bei and jointly confronted Cao Cao. At this time, Liu Bei established a good relationship with Zhuge Liang. The two of them also assisted Guan Yu against Cao Jun. After Guan Yu was killed, Zhuge Liang said 11 words coldly: "Feng Gangmeng, it will be difficult to control after Yi Shi." ", but this made Liu Bei regret it, and he gave Liu Feng to death.
How Guan Yu died
Everyone knows that Guan Yu was a famous general during the Three Kingdoms period. Guan Yu's death is still to be debated, and some scholars say: "The reason why Guan Yu was killed was entirely because of Liu Bei." ”
At that time, after Liu Bei captured Chengdu, in order to stabilize his rule, he wanted to take the fat meat of Jingzhou as well.
But at that time, Liu Bei's subordinates all thought that this idea was very good, but they did not know how to do it.
If you cede Jingzhou to someone else at this time, it is equivalent to recognizing the status of others. But Liu Bei was a very ambitious person, so he knew that if he gave Jingzhou away, it would be a great loss for him. Therefore, in order to get the fat meat of Jingzhou, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to garrison Jingzhou.
Why is it said that Guan Yu was killed by Liu Bei? The reason is also very simple, because of Liu Bei's ambition! Liu Bei had always been at odds with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and Guan Yu was surrounded and suppressed, and this incident also gave Liu Bei a chance.
And from history, we can also learn that after Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei also took advantage of this incident to expedition north. The results of the Northern Expedition were not bad, and Cao Cao and Sun Quan were defeated by Liu Bei. After Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei also used this incident to wage war with Sun Quan and Cao Cao, and launched the Battle of Yiling in the name of his brother. However, Liu Bei was burned by Lu Xun in this battle, and the Shu state was eventually defeated.
Who provided Liu Bei with such a strategy
When it comes to schemes, Liu Bei is of course more than enough and lacks strength, because Liu Bei's origin cannot be verified, and when the story of "Liu Guan Zhang Sanjieyi" was written in the original work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei made a living selling straw shoes. Uncle Liu said that no one corrected or probed it.
Therefore, it is also a bit of a fantasy that Liu Bei can come up with such a strategy. As a military master, Zhuge Liang was Liu Bei's most important adviser, and he could be said to be loyal to Liu Bei. When Liu Bei was in trouble, it was Zhuge Liang who suggested to Liu Bei and helped Liu Bei solve the crisis, so Zhuge Liang's proposal also had a great impact on Guan Yu's death, and it can even be said that Zhuge Liang also killed Guan Yu indirectly.
And Guan Yu's death also had a reason for Liu Bei to choose to send troops to the Northern Expedition later, so that it won the hearts of the people and made the people more firm about Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, and in this regard, we can see the great ambition in Liu Bei's heart, and we can also see Liu Bei's ruthlessness and decisiveness.
How did Zhuge Liang give Liu Bei such a plan
Zhuge Liang is Liu Bei's confidant minister, and even Liu Bei entrusted Jiangshan to him after his death, which shows how much Liu Bei trusts Zhuge Liang, and why is Guan Yu's death also in Zhuge Liang's calculation? This has to start with the three forces of Liu Bei and Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Liu Bei only wants to revive the Han court. Therefore, he needed to use the power of Eastern Wu to confront Cao Cao and Sun Quan.
At this time, Liu Bei was no longer the poor Liu Bei he was at the beginning, and his strength became stronger. Although he knew that as long as he continued to develop, he would be able to unify the world, but he also knew that all this needed an opportunity, and this opportunity was Guan Yu's death.
After Guan Yu was defeated by Xu Huang, he has been stationed in Hanzhong. His place of stationing was in the Jingzhou region, and in such a situation, Liu Bei's son Liu Feng received news from Guan Yu asking for help. Knowing the relationship between Guan Yu and Liu Bei, he would actually turn a deaf ear to Guan Yu's news of help. In the eyes of ordinary people, isn't this an unfaithful and unfilial person? And it's hard to think behind this scene that it has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang.
And Liu Feng's failure to save Guan Yu was of course in Zhuge Liang's calculations, and later Zhuge Liang also laid the groundwork for Liu Bei Jinyan and Liu Feng's death.
Of course, this is also a strategy that Zhuge Liang is planning for the future of the Shu Kingdom. And the defeat of Guan Yu's army also shows that Guan Yu's combat ability is also much inferior to before. In this regard, instead of letting Guan Yu continue to consume, it is better to take the opportunity to make Guan Yu an opportunity for the Northern Expedition. That's why Zhuge Liang will make this decision.
Why kill Liu Feng
Since Guan Yu died at the hands of Eastern Wu, then Liu Bei had every reason to expedition to Cao Cao and Sun Quan in the north, why would Zhuge Liang let Liu Bei execute Liu Feng? If Liu Bei wanted to attack Eastern Wu, he had to have a powerful general to attack Jingzhou, and Liu Feng was the best candidate. At the beginning, Liu Bei was able to take the Jingzhou region entirely because Liu Feng contributed to it, and Liu Feng can be said to be a trump card in his hand. And Zhuge Liang is sowing discord from this, so that Liu Bei will give Liu Feng to death, isn't this a move to increase internal friction?
And this move, seemingly unnecessary, is actually a very important step. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "if you take in the outside, you must first settle inside", and when Guan Yu died, Liu Feng received the news of the call for help but was not moved, which will definitely cause the military instability inside the barracks, and sending troops can not always bring people with different intentions inside to fight.
What's more, how important Guan Yu's position is in people's hearts. It can be said that Guan Yu became the soul of the army, but a powerful person like Guan Yu died without support, which inevitably had two hearts in the army, so Liu Feng's death was a sure thing. Because no one would want to give their back to someone who is not worth entrusting.
Moreover, Zhuge Liang also knew about the relationship between Guan Yu and Liu Bei, so he sent Liu Feng to Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang knew that Guan Yu loved Zhang Fei very much, but he also knew that Liu Feng was much worse than Zhang Fei, and he still needed Zhang Fei as his right hand.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang's move was not to let Liu Bei attack Eastern Wu, but to let Liu Feng die.
Liu Feng was Liu Bei's eldest son, how could Liu Bei agree to give Liu Feng death
Everyone knows that Liu Feng is Liu Bei's eldest son, but why would Liu Bei agree to Zhuge Liang's strategy to kill Liu Feng? And Liu Feng knew Zhuge Liang's idea, why didn't he resist? And this has to start from the time of Guan Yu's death, Guan Yu's death gave an opportunity to make Liu Bei have a grudge against Liu Feng, not to mention that Liu Feng did not help when Guan Yu needed help the most. At this time, he gave Liu Bei an idea to kill Liu Feng. And Liu Feng is actually not Liu Bei's biological son, but Liu Bei's righteous son. It strengthened Liu Bei's idea of killing Liu Feng.
And Liu Feng's death is also the trend of the times, although Liu Feng is only an adopted son of Liu Bei. But Liu Bei is not a bloodthirsty and cruel person, and Liu Feng's contribution is not to mention, in terms of Liu Feng's outstanding contribution to the struggle between Eastern Wu, presumably Liu Bei will not want to kill Liu Feng, and when Zhuge Liang wanted Liu Bei to kill Liu Feng, Liu Bei must also be unwilling in his heart. However, at the national level, Liu Bei could only endure the pain of killing Liu Feng and stabilize the army's heart.
Later, Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Feng could not defeat Sun Quan's troops, but he still chose to let Liu Feng fight Sun Quan's army, with Liu Feng as the main commander, and finally ended up with a mountain of defeat. At this time, Zhuge Liang decisively chose to link Liu Feng's defeat with Guan Yu's death, and advised Liu Bei that "Liu Feng has the intention to counteract, and do not lose it", and it was this action that made Liu Bei's murderous intention against Liu Feng more and more serious. In the end, because this "seal is fierce, it will be difficult to control after Yi Shi." ", kill Liu Feng.
Why did Zhuge Liang have to kill Liu Feng
Liu Feng followed Liu Bei on his expeditions for many years and made great achievements, why did Zhuge Liang have to kill Liu Feng? After Guan Yu was killed and Liu Feng could not be rescued was expected by Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang also did not expect that Liu Feng not only did not rescue, but also did not send reinforcements at all, at this time Zhuge Liang had already realized that Liu Feng may have compassion, but because of his feelings, he could not directly tear his face. So Zhuge Liang was also waiting for an opportunity, and after Guan Yu's death, Liu Feng had already become a hidden danger in the Shu Kingdom that Zhuge Liang believed. Therefore, Zhuge Liang would kill Liu Feng at any cost.
And Liu Feng's outstanding battle exploits cannot be ignored, if indiscriminately, it is only because Guan Yu did not send troops when he died. If he killed him hastily, Liu Bei's popularity would plummet, and from a benevolent and righteous prince, he would become a comatose prince and tyrant who did not distinguish between good and evil. Therefore, Zhuge Liang made a big effort to get rid of Liu Feng's "hidden danger" in this way. In the end, Liu Feng was successfully killed without losing the hearts of the people.
Although this is a self-destructive method, but the arrow has to be sent on the string, such an opportunity was created by Zhuge Liang with great difficulty, and naturally he would not let Liu Feng go so easily. In this way, Liu Feng's death has already become a victim of the overall situation
After killing Liu Feng, can Liu Beizhen still compete with Cao Cao Sun Quan?
After this incident, Liu Bei's convenience was two less generals, first Guan Yu was killed, and then Liu Feng was given death, so that it seems that Liu Bei's fierce generals are few, but the fact is that Liu Bei defeated Sun Quan and Cao Cao during the Northern Expedition, what is the matter? In fact, although it seems that Liu Bei is missing two famous generals. But in fact, under Liu Bei's brotherhood, there were not many capable people attracted, and Guan Yu was already old, and his combat strength was not as good as before, and Liu Feng's death just reflected Liu Bei's selflessness in rectifying and managing the army. Established prestige in the army.
In this way, the strength of Liu Bei's army not only did not decrease, but it can even be said that Liu Bei's army has become stronger on the side. It is precisely because of this that Liu Bei's achievements in the Northern Expedition are very impressive, and under the leadership of Zhuge Liang. He successfully conquered many important strongholds of Cao Cao, but Liu Bei chose Liu Chan as the successor of the Shu state, which ultimately led to the defeat of the Northern Expedition. And Zhuge Liang was also after the Northern Expedition, because of Liu Chan's absurd behavior, he was so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood. However, due to his loyalty to the Shu state, Liu Chan was not taken from the throne of the prince.
Therefore, after Guan Yu was killed, Zhuge Liang said coldly that "Feng Gangmeng, it will be difficult to control the emperor after Yi Shi", Liu Bei immediately gave death to his eldest son Liu Feng after hearing this, and it can also be seen that Liu Bei's unscrupulous means to achieve his goals and Liu Bei's unconditional trust in Zhuge Liang.
Although many people believe that Zhuge Liang's persuasion of Liu Bei to kill Liu Feng is not considered to be the right thing to do, on the whole, Zhuge Liang has succeeded in killing Liu Feng to buy people's hearts.
So we should still maintain a rational and objective analysis of things when we look at things.
