The secret battle between the masters of power plots: Why did Sun Quan let Liu Bei fight Yizhou with him?

Introduction: At the same time, Guan Yu Tun Bing Jiangling, Zhang Fei Tun Bing Zi Gui, Zhuge Liang Tun Bing Nan Jun, himself Tun Ling, the four road army intercepted the Wu army's westward march. After Sun Quan heard about it, he knew that Liu Bei wanted to keep Yizhou for himself, and without Liu Bei's joining, Eastern Wu would be futile even if he was xingbing, so he recalled Sun Yu.

Liu Bei's idea of attacking Yizhou was not a day or two, and the strategy that Zhuge Liang had planned for Liu Bei in Longzhong was to "cross Jing, Yi, West and Nanfu, Outer Alliance Sun Quan, and Internal Revision of Political Reason; if there is a change in the world, the Jingzhou Army will be led by Xiang Wan, Luo, and the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan to xinghan room" This was a strategy set during the thirteenth year of Jian'an when Liu Guanzhang and Zhuge Liang had a long talk throughout the night, and he has been waiting for the opportunity. During the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei was beaten by Cao Cao to abandon his wife and son, and hid in Tibet, but he always believed that he would definitely carry out this strategy.

After experiencing the great rout of Xinye and the great escape of Jiangling, Liu Bei met Liu Qi, the son of Liu Biao, in Xiakou and temporarily gained a foothold. Subsequently, Liu Bei and Sun Quan united and defeated Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, after this battle, Liu Bei completely turned over, and there was no longer Cao Cao behind him, chasing him like a ghost, and he had to dry the crisis of fire, and his life was finally saved. After Liu Bei gained a foothold with the help of Sun Quan, he immediately marched south to the four counties of Jingzhou, and wherever the army went, Wuling Taishou Jinxuan, Changsha Taishou Han Xuan, Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan, and Lingling Taishou Liu Du all looked at the wind and surrendered, and Lujiang LeiXu led tens of thousands of troops to surrender to Liu Bei. Liu Bei's career in the Jingzhou area had just begun to take off, but Liu Qi, the assassin who had repeatedly helped him, died of illness, so his subordinates elected Liu Bei as the pastor of Jingzhou and ruled the public security office. Since Jian'an was appointed as the pastor of Yuzhou in three years, to the later Xuzhou pastor, this time Jingzhou pastor, Liu Bei is the most down-to-earth sitting, the north has the Yangtze River natural danger, the western front has no war, the east is the ally Sun Wu, Liu Bei is finally more solid. Even more unexpectedly, Sun Quan saw that Liu Bei had secured Jingzhou with lightning speed and his power had expanded dramatically, so he assigned his sister Xu to Liu Bei to strengthen Sun Liu's alliance.

After the situation south of the Yangtze River was settled for a while, Sun Quan sent people to discuss with Liu Bei to march west together to capture Liu Zhang, and he sent Liu Bei to say: One day Cao Cao and Zhang Lu will join forces to attack Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang is not armed, and cannot resist; if Cao Cao wins Shudi, then you and I are in danger; instead of letting others succeed, we should attack Liu Zhang first, then please Zhang Lu, and after taking Yizhou and Hanzhong, there will be ten Cao Cao, and we don't have to be afraid. Liu Bei discussed this matter with his subordinates, and some people said that they could promise him first, anyway, we did not send troops, and Wu Guo could not cross Jingzhou and take Yizhou. At this time, the master of Jingzhou, Yin Guan, said: If we cut down Shu for Eastern Wu, we may not be able to conquer Shu, and if we can't do well, the State of Wu will still attack Jingzhou and cut off our back road, so that we will have a general trend; it is better to reply to Sun Quan, saying that the new decisions of the counties are not appropriate to raise troops on a large scale, and the State of Wu certainly does not dare to cross us to cut Shu, so that we are in a situation of offensive and retreat and defensive in both the political and diplomatic fields of Yizhou and Eastern Wu. Liu Bei greatly appreciated this strategy of Yin Guan, so he replied to Sun Quan: Yizhou is dangerous and rich, it is difficult to attack, Zhang Lu is a hypocritical person, he does not really have the same heart as Cao Cao; attacking the yizhou front, Shu Dao is difficult, supply is difficult, this battle is to let Wu Qi Sun Wu fight, it may not be able to win, moreover, Liu Zhang is now good friends with us, why should we tear up the friendship with Liu Zhang, create another enemy in the west, and let Cao Cao have the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity, this matter cannot be done now. Sun Quan did not listen, and sent Sun Yu to lead a water army into Xiakou, making a posture of marching west. And Liu Bei, not to be outdone, replied to Sun Yu, saying, I will not leave a reputation of unkindness and injustice to the world, and you are bound to go west to attack Shu, so I will retire to the mountains and forests. At the same time, Guan Yu tun bing Jiangling, Zhang Fei tun bing zi gui, Zhuge Liang tun bing Nan County, himself tun tun ling (as shown in the picture), the four road army intercepted the Wu army's westward advance. After Sun Quan heard about it, he knew that Liu Bei wanted to keep Yizhou for himself, and without Liu Bei's joining, Eastern Wu would be futile even if he was xingbing, so he recalled Sun Yu.

It can be seen from the place where Liu Bei's clique was stationed around that blocking the road leading wu army to Yizhou shows Liu Bei's determination, and if Sun Quan insists on advancing westward, then Sun Liu may have to meet with each other. Although Sun Quan sent troops to help Liu Bei at the Battle of Chibi, it was also for his own interests, and once Cao Cao ousted Liu Bei and took Jingzhou, the good days of Eastern Wu would come to an end. Liu Bei's man Jie naturally understood the reasoning, so he rightly occupied Jingzhou, expanded his power, and prevented Sun Quan from taking Yizhou. Liu Bei's strategy was originally to develop westward, and as far as Yizhou was concerned, Jingzhou could not be compared with it, Yizhou was rich, the strategy was deep and long, there were natural dangers in the north, south, east, and west, and there were few people affected by war, which was Liu Bei's excellent development base. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Liu Bei is not hesitant to turn his face with Sun Quan and keep Liu Zhang's legacy for himself.
