The Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty was an era of heroes, and the brilliance of some historical figures was too distinct, and it was often easy to ignore other figures. And these people who were unpopular in later generations may also be important figures of their respective regimes at that time, and are closely related to various important events at that time. From these "unpopular figures", we can also see the changes in history at that time and the impact it brought. The following small editor will introduce a relatively unpopular character - Li Fu. Li Fu was born in Yizhou, but his father died under Liu Yan's butcher's knife; he later joined Liu Bei's clique and discussed military affairs before Zhuge Liang's death, obtaining a vague route.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the contradiction between Yizhou Haoqiang and Liu Yan</h1>
When it comes to the problem of political factions within the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, the Yizhou faction and the Dongzhou faction must be indispensable. There was a very sharp contradiction between the two, and the one who caused this contradiction was Liu Yan, the initiator of the Yizhou separatist regime. In the fifth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (that is, in 188 AD), Liu Yan believed that the Eastern Han Dynasty's rule over the localities was difficult to maintain, so he proposed to the Eastern Han Court to "abolish Shi Limu" and replace the state assassin history with a state pastor with both administrative and supervisory powers. Liu Yan himself was appointed as the pastor of Yizhou, replacing the then Yizhou assassin Shi Jianjian.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a system of recusal of local governors: local governors were not allowed to be locals, and most of the local governors were locals. Liu Yan was a native of Jiangxia, Jingzhou, and he could be described as rootless when he came to Yizhou. There were some figures who followed Liu Yan into Yizhou, such as Wu Yi, Wu Ban, and others, and their existing power was also extremely limited. When Liu Yan took office, he was catching up with the Yellow Turban Army in Yizhou, and Liu Yan did not dare to enter Yizhou, and the governor Jia Long eliminated the Yellow Turban of Yizhou before taking over Liu Yan.com. From this situation, it can be seen that Liu Yan could not control Yizhou in the early stage, and the biggest obstacle was the power of the powerful households in Yizhou.
The chaos at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty led to a continuous influx of some displaced people from the Sanfu area of Guanzhong and the Jingzhou area into Yizhou. After all, the closed environment in Yizhou is still relatively stable compared to the outside world. And these people were recruited by Liu Yan and became a force that completely belonged to Liu Yan. Because they, like Liu Yan, have no roots in Yizhou. Only by attaching to Liu Yan can they compete with the local large households in Yizhou. At the same time, these people are weak, come from different regions, have limited contact with each other, and will not pose a threat to Liu Yan himself. This group of people is the so-called "Dongzhou Shi", now also known as the Dongzhou Faction.
During the Three Kingdoms period, it was common for foreign forces to suppress local forces. The main force of the Early Jiangdong Clique was the figures of the Jiangbei Huaisi Clique, and these figures gradually withered away before gradually becoming dominated by the Jiangdong Shiren; the political status of each faction during the Shu and Han Dynasties was also that the Jingzhou faction was higher than the Dongzhou faction, and the Yizhou faction was the younger brother among the younger brothers. But none of their practices were as drastic as Liu Yan's. Liu Yan hoped to use harsh means to deter the Yizhou forces, and he used the power of the "Dongzhou Shi" to kill Wang Xian, Li Quan and a dozen other Yizhou powerful people. This Li Quan was Li Fu's father, who was the governor of Linqiao at that time.

Li Quan died under Liu Yan's butcher's knife and was unable to exert influence in the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, but his son Li Fu was a relatively important figure in the Shu Han Dynasty, and of course, he scored and compared with whom. At least in the Yizhou faction of the younger brother's status, he was an important figure, serving as the governor of Jiangzhou and the servant of Shangshu. The governor of Jiangzhou was one of the four major towns of the Shu Han Dynasty, and although he was not on the front line, he also had the responsibility of dispatching and soothing the town; The Shangshu servant was the second in command of the most important power organ, Shangshutai. Of course, judging from the shu Han Dynasty's long-term use of power to record Shangshu and Pingshangshu, the grade of Shangshu servants should be lowered.
The Shu Han Dynasty did not put a note-taking official, resulting in an extreme lack of historical materials, and many important figures could not be passed on because there were not enough historical materials, such as Wu Yi. Li Fu is not a particularly important figure, nor does he have a personal biography, and his deeds are mostly found in the "Praise of Ji Han Auxiliary Ministers" written by the Shu Han minister Yang Ju and the content supplemented by Chen Shou.
Li Fu was from Sun De, a native of Fu County, Zitong County, Yizhou. Zitong County was divided by Liu Bei after he eliminated Liu Zhang, and the root word should be the people of Guanghan County. Liu Bei eliminated Liu Zhang, and Li Fu successively served as Liu Bei's Shuzuo, Governor of Xichong, and Chengdu Ling. Chengdu is the political and military center of Liu Bei's clique, and judging from Li Fu's eunuch experience in Liu Bei's period, he should be more valued by Liu Bei.
During Liu Chan's period, Li Fu was promoted from Chengdu to Beshai Taishou(brazilian taishou), and although his official position was promoted, he was promoted from the county order to the county shou, but left the political center; then Li Fu was transferred from The Brazilian Taishou to the governor of Jiangzhou and held the military power in Jiangzhou; then Li Fu entered the dynasty as a servant of Shangshutai, and as mentioned above, he was the second-in-command of Shangshutai, and shangshuling was the governor of Shangshutai when He was vacant; after Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Huan came to power, and Li Fu's previous status as a military supervisor was Jiang Huan's Sima and finally died in office.
On the whole, Li Fu was an important figure in the Shu Han regime, but he did not reach the top batch. For example, although the Governor of Jiangzhou is the four major towns of Shu Han, it is originally between the Governor of Shu, the Governor of Yong'an, and the Governor of Hanzhong, and the importance is much lower than that of the other three towns; for example, Zhuge Liang as the chancellor of Shu Han, and there are Li Yan, Chen Zhen and other Shang Shu Orders in Shang Shu Tai, and Li Fu will not have too much weight as a Servant of Shang Shu. However, in the suppressed Yizhou faction, few people were able to enter Shang Shutai to become the main official position, and Li Fu was also relatively well-known in the Yizhou faction.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the dying dialogue between Li Fu and Zhuge Liang</h1>
Regarding Li Fu's deeds, the most famous is probably a dialogue between Li Fu and Zhuge Liang, which is also included in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the twelfth year of Jianxing of the Shu Han Dynasty (i.e., 234 CE), Zhuge Liang launched the Fifth Northern Expedition against Cao Wei, but ran out of oil in the process of confronting Sima Yi. During this period, the Shu Han Shang Shu Ling seemed to be in a vacant stage, so Li Fu was the governor of Shang Shutai, who was sent by Liu Chan to visit and serve Zhuge Liang at the front, and to inquire about military affairs.
Li Fu went to Zhuge Liang's place for a while, and a few days after the separation, he suddenly thought of a question, if Zhuge Liang could not persist, who should succeed him? So Li Fu immediately set off to return. Zhuge Liang understood Li Fu's intentions and proposed to Li Fu his own chief Shi Jiang Huan; Li Fu asked Who should rule after Jiang Fu, and Zhuge Liang again elected his own Sima Feiyi; Li Fu wanted to ask about the candidates after Fei Yi, and Zhuge Liang no longer answered.
The subsequent situation of the Shu Han regime was also in accordance with Zhuge Liang's will. After Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Huan became the Grand Sima Lu Shangshu, although he did not have the name of Xiang Xiang but had the reality of Xiang Xiang. During Jiang Huan's reign, he appeased the shocks and uneasiness caused by Zhuge Liang's death, raised Jiang Wei's military position, and formulated a plan to march east from Shangyong to Xiangyang, but it was abolished because it was too radical; after Jiang Huan's death, Fei Yi became a general lu Shang Shushi, with a weight similar to Jiang Huan.com. During Fei Yi's reign, he recuperated and restored the strength of the Shu Han state, while also allowing Jiang Wei to carry out the Northern Expedition with a small force.
After Fei Yi's death, Shu Han was a bit confused. Although Jiang Wei was qualified to record Shang Shushi, the political power was in the hands of Chen Qi, Dong Jie, Zhuge Zhan, Fan Jian, and others. During Jiang Wei's "reign", Shu Han was also wiped out by Cao Wei. The dialogue between Li Fu and Zhuge Liang comes from the "Miscellaneous Records of the Old Yibu Qi", which was originally intended to record Li Fu's deeds. However, from this dialogue, it is more obvious that Zhuge Liang's far-sightedness is seen.
