"Go, go, this thing is done by me in the future, what does it have to do with me now. Don't talk about that. ”

Liu Bei saw that the topic was a little unfavorable to him, so he quickly pulled it away, and then said to the two,

"Big brother, third brother, since the three of us brothers have been married. Then we should help each other, can you help me figure out a way. Analyze the reasons for this. ”

"It's not hard to understand. ”

Cao Cao didn't hide his selfishness at all. When he saw Liu Bei asking for help, he said directly,

"After you died, the young master of Shuzhong was young, and people's hearts fluctuated. The overall internal and external situation is supported by Zhuge Liang alone.

Zhuge Liang either controls the government and holds the power of the court in his own hands, maintaining the situation of unity in Shuzhong.

Either you can only go on a northern expedition for many years. On the one hand, through the Northern Expedition, he ordered all parts of Shuzhong to see who had the heart of disobedience. On the other hand, this is to use the Northern Expedition to control the army of the whole country, so as to prevent your son from attacking him because he has listened to slander.

Therefore, the reason for all this is that your Liu Bei's methods of obtaining Yizhou are not only unjustifiable, but also many local officials are Liu Zhang's former officials, and the central government's control is not very strong. If Zhuge Liang does not go on a northern expedition for many years, I am afraid that Shuzhong will be in chaos if there are no external enemies. ”

"That makes sense. ”

Liu Bei thought about it and felt that what Cao Cao said was not wrong.

Shuzhong is not monolithic, and it has not experienced much war. Families and officials everywhere are more or less careful about their own thoughts.

If Zhuge Liang does not go on the Northern Expedition for many years, and takes advantage of the righteousness of the Northern Expedition to order the locality, I am afraid that the national strength of Shuzhong will be consumed faster.

Although Liu Bei also said that he would follow the example of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and go out of Yizhou to conquer the world.

But in fact, sending troops from Yizhou is really not a good choice. Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it also means that it is not easy to send troops.

Therefore, Guan Yu, who was in charge of Jingzhou, could achieve huge results in the Northern Expedition, but Zhuge Liang returned many times in vain.

However, after Sun Quan backstabbed Guan Yu, Jingzhou was lost, and Shu Han was left with only Yizhou, a road to the Northern Expedition. If you think about the Northern Expedition again, it can only be a fantasy.

As for the legendary Wei Yan Meridian Valley conspiracy, just take a look. If you really want to do this, it will be nothing more than two results.

One is that it was successful, and tens of thousands of troops without logistics really conquered Chang'an, which was surrounded by tall walls. Then what he faced next was the crazy counterattack of Cao Wei's forces.

At that time, the army hanging alone in Chang'an, on the one hand, had to send a large number of people to transport grain from Shu, and on the other hand, it had to survive Cao Wei's early counterattack.

With Shu Han's little national strength, it is easy to be consumed by logistics.

Of course, you can also choose to collect food on the spot. Then a group of people who were originally ready to surrender found that the quality of this army under the guise of reviving the Han dynasty was not as good as Cao Wei's, so the people's hearts turned back, and it was even more difficult to gain a firm foothold.

Of course, although the difficulty is the difficulty. There is still a certain possibility that this ploy will succeed.

Still, everything has to consider the consequences of failure.

If the existence of this surprise attack force is leaked, Cao Wei will set up an ambush in advance and wipe out the entire army.

Then, when the news reaches Shuzhong, such a huge fiasco will inevitably cause internal turmoil in Shuzhong, and the ruling authority of the Shu Han Dynasty will be weakened to an extremely low level.

And Zhuge Liang himself has to pay a huge political price.

Because although there is no shortage of food in Yizhou, the population is not large, and Liu Bei experienced a fiasco in Eastern Wu in order to take revenge, so there are fewer available soldiers.

Although Zhuge Liang went on the Northern Expedition for many years, when he really calculated it, he found that he would rather return in vain than lose too many troops.

The so-called Northern Expedition was more like a military exercise with limited casualties. The purpose is to keep the army in Shuzhong fighting all the time.

In fact, things did develop according to Zhuge Liang's assumptions.

Although at the end of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Han was the earliest, but the frontal battlefield was able to fight back and forth with the north.

Moreover, Shu Han finally died in the surrender of Liu Chan, which was not a defeat on the frontal battlefield, and it could be regarded as a dignified defeat in military terms.

On the other hand, Soochow was also guarding the natural danger, but it was taken directly in one go, and the speed of oblivion was basically the same as surrender.

It can only be said that Zhuge Liang is indeed trying his best to renew the life of Shu Han. But unfortunately, the general trend has gone, and no matter how hard you try, it is useless.

"So how do you solve this problem? ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, looked at Cao Cao and asked.

"It's simple. ”

Cao Cao replied,

"After you take Yizhou, surrender directly to me. I will make you a king of Shu. Wouldn't you have to worry about it?"

"You better solve the problem of your old Cao family being usurped first, and then come and let me surrender later. ”

Liu Bei rolled his eyes at Cao Cao.

"I think so, too. ”

Cao Cao complained.

"Destroyed a Sima family, and an Huangfu family emerged. When I destroy the Huangfu family this time, maybe there will be a Shangguan family.

The teacher said that this situation occurred because of historical inertia, which is what we call providence, but he did not say that the positive can break this providence. ”

"Actually, the main reason is that the rule of the three of you is not right, and the words are not good. ”

After listening to the discussion of the three of them, he stood up and said,

Although Cao Cao relied on the characteristic constitutional monarchy system, the Cao family's rule over the north was justified.

However, Yizhou and Eastern Wu did not recognize this statement of the Cao family, believing that the Cao family had usurped the rights of the Han family, in this case. Once there are powerful ministers like Sima Yi and Huangfu Shun, the rule of the Cao family will easily change hands.

Since the Qin Dynasty, the people of China have hoped that there would be a stable dynasty to rule the world. At the very least, there will be no military disasters.

Therefore, in this case, whoever can unify the world will have the qualifications to abolish the Han and stand on his own.

People don't care at all whether Liu Bang is really the son of Haotian, whether the Cao family is really a boy under Haotian, they care more about who can bring long-term unity and prosperity to the world.

Since ancient times, the Chinese people have believed in themselves more than in the gods. Therefore, it is impractical to try to frighten the people and maintain the rule by relying on foreign rules.

You have to come up with the real thing to win the trust of the world. ”

"So what's the real thing?"

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce turned their heads to look at Xun Ze together.

"Cao Cao's set of constitutional monarchy. ”

Asked Xun Ze to speak.

Uh, teacher, are you kidding us?

When the three of them heard the words called Xun Ze, they were speechless one by one.

Cao Cao has Emperor Han Xian in his hands, so he can do this. They can't learn if they want to. Could it be that Liu Bei should make himself a constitutional monarchy, and let Sun Quan find a royal family to establish another emperor monarchy?
