The word "Officialdom" by Li Boyuan in the late Qing Dynasty comes from Li Boyuan's "Officialdom Appearance", but before that, the strategy of discord has long been used on the battlefield by those famous strategists in ancient China.

During the Warring States Period, Li Mu guarded the frontier, and the Qin State did not dare to advance eastward, so he bribed Guo Kai, a close minister of the King of Zhao, with a lot of money, so that he spread rumors in the country, mentioning that Li Mu had a strong intention to collude with the King of Qin. As a result, King Zhao destroyed the Great Wall and staged a tragedy of "Li Mu died, Zhao Guo died".

When Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Liu Bang's adviser Chen Ping also used a strategy of discord to alienate Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, from the most famous Wenchen under his command, Fan Zeng and the military general Zhong Liwu, which eventually led to the collapse of the overlord of Chu and his own Wujiang.

Of course, there are many such examples throughout history.

For example, Wang Yun in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" first matched Lu Bu and then Xu Dong Zhuo, causing the two to turn against each other and kill each other. As well as Qu Yan, Zu Ting and Mu Ti Po with two proverbs "100 liters fly to the sky, the bright moon shines on Chang'an" and "The mountains do not collapse by themselves, and the mistle trees do not support themselves" took the life of the famous general Hu Luguang of the Northern Qi Dynasty and so on.

"Discord?"

Suddenly hearing Yan Xiang mention these two words, Liu Bei was slightly stunned, the thoughts in his mind turned sharply, but his eyes showed a little puzzlement.

"My brother opened the scriptures and established a school, loved the people and raised scholars, and wrote in Jingzhou Enwei, and the generals under his account, such as Wang Wei and Wen Zhongye, are also quite loyal to him, I am afraid that he can easily say that he is not able to move with a three-inch tongue, who does Wen Ji plan to choose as the target of discord?"

"The difference between the lord's words and his words!" Yan Xiang shook his head and said with a smile, "According to Yan's understanding, Liu Jingzhou is better at sitting and talking, and he is self-controlled, but he is suspicious by nature. Therefore, apart from the exclusive favor of the Cai family and the belief in Kuaixodu, he does not trust anyone, including his two brothers-in-law, Cai Deqi and Cai He. ”

This is the truth, otherwise Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang would have said that Jingzhou's situation was all over the place, and Liu Biao would definitely not take off the hat on Cai Mao's head.

Zhuge Liang nodded, and Liu Bei also smiled to himself, he had long wanted to annex the land of Jingchu, how could he not know Liu Biao's weaknesses, but now that he was under the eaves, he had to maintain one or two in his words.

Liu Bei secretly praised and was about to answer, but suddenly remembered that the Cai family mentioned in Yan Xiang's words, the beautiful moment just now was broken, and his brows were slightly wrinkled, as if the spring sorrow on the lake could not be dissolved: "As Mr. said, Brother Jingsheng really doesn't trust others very much, and he is a good object of discord."

However, the general selection object of the strategy of discord is either his cronies or his right-hand man, otherwise it is difficult to achieve the effect of discord. However, there are very few such people in the entire Jingzhou, except for the Cai family, there is only the degree of qualification.

Naturally, Cai's family doesn't need to say much, Cai Deqi was demoted to Xinyang because of me, and he lost his position as the governor of the Jingzhou Navy Army, and he hated us to the core. And Cai's heart is also all on Liu Cong, and it is impossible for us to use it at all.

Could it be that Mr. Wenji's goal has always been on Kuaixodu? To be honest, this person is deep and wise, known as Jing Chu and merry, and he is indeed a masterpiece. It's a pity that he and Brother Jingsheng cherish each other, and they have many years of deep friendship, so it may be more difficult to convince him than Shu Dao! ”

"Heterogeneity? Isn't the lord joking? His subordinates are not arrogant people, how dare they go to the class to get an axe in front of Kuai Xenodu? Yan Xiang laughed at himself, and the word "embarrassment" was written on his face.

In the past, when his subordinates were still serving under General Highway, General Highway and Sun Wentai were preparing to encircle Yuan Benchu, and Liu Jingsheng sent troops to help Benchu. At that time, the strategist in Liu Jingsheng's army was this Kuai Xandu.

His subordinates were sent to Liu Ying on the order of the highway general, and they had the honor to meet him. However, it is precisely on this side that the subordinates know that the ravines and good arguments in the hearts of this Jing Xiang are far from being comparable to those of the subordinates. Lord, you say, if your subordinates want to separate this person, won't you make others laugh? ”

"The inch is long, and the ruler is short. Everyone's characteristics and strengths are different, so Kuaixodu just happened to win over Mr. in defense, so why should Mr. worry? Liu Bei persuaded him, but a bigger mystery surged in his heart.

Since Yan Xiang's target is neither the Cai clan nor Kuai Yue, who does he really want to separate?

Who is next to Liu Biao who is qualified to be his target?

Liu Bei was puzzled, but Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly lit up, Yan Xiang's words were like a big hand, clearing the fog in front of him, and his breathing became slightly short: "Mr. Wen Ji, are you talking about Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Jingzhou?" ”

Kong Ming really deserves to be the Wolong of Jingzhou, and he can guess what is in Yan's heart with just a few words of gossip. High, sure enough, high! Yan Xiang stretched out his thumb to Zhuge Liang and nodded categorically, "Lord, as Kong Ming said, Yan's goal has always been Liu Qi!" ”

If the divisive plan is used well, it is indeed a knife that kills people without seeing blood, but there is no case of father and son becoming enemies in the above allusions, and what Liu Bei thought of was also Li Mu and Fan Zeng, and he couldn't help but feel a little disapproving.

Yan Xiang seemed to have guessed Liu Bei's thoughts, and asked with a faint smile: "Does the lord still remember the witch curse during the Emperor Wu period?" ”

The Witch Gu Disaster is a major political event that occurred in the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In the second year of Zhenghe, Sun Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gongsun He, was accused of adultery with Princess Yangshi, and cursed Emperor Wu of Han with witch Gu. As a result, Gongsun He's father and son were imprisoned and died, and Princess Zhuyi, Princess Yangshi, and Wei Qing's son Changping Hou Wei were all sentenced.

Emperor Wu's favored minister Jiang Chong used torture and planting to engage in a series of battles between the government and the opposition, setting off a bloody storm and tens of thousands of innocent people also died.

At the same time, due to a gap with the crown prince Liu, Jiang Chong united Li Guangli, Han Shuo and the eunuch Su Wen and others to frame the prince. The prince was panicked and could not prove his innocence, so he raised troops to kill Jiang Chonghan and said, the result was that Emperor Wu was suspicious, and Emperor Wu suppressed it with heavy troops. The crown prince and the empress Wei Zifu committed suicide one after another.

Thinking of the events of the previous dynasty, Liu Bei's mind suddenly brightened, and there was only one last question left in his heart: "Brother Jingsheng's eldest son Liu Qi is filial piety, but his heart is too cowardly, and there is not a single soldier in his hands. Dare to ask how Mr. can persuade him to be used by me, and how can Mr. make him like the former prince who can compete with Emperor Wu? ”

Yan Xiang waved his hand and smiled: "The lord is right, on the surface, Liu Qi is indeed filial and cowardly. But, my lord, you seem to have forgotten the current situation of this eldest prince of the Assassin Shi, right?

Liu Jingsheng loves Wu and Wu, and among the two sons, he likes Liu Cong, and the Cai family and Cai Mao and the generals who are close to Liu Cong also deeply hate Liu Qi for blocking Liu Cong's path, and they are even more unhappy, provocative and slanderous to Liu Qi.

Even so, Liu Qi still persisted for so many years. Lord, a single sentence with a weak personality may not be able to accurately express Liu Qi's personality, right? If his subordinates didn't guess wrong, then Liu Qi was just showing weakness on the surface!

Yan Xiang waved his hand and said loudly: "My lord, please rest assured, Yan will definitely be able to dig an insurmountable ravine in Jingzhou when he goes this time!" ”

Liu Bei held Yan Xiang's hands tightly, and his eyes showed admiration: "Okay, let's let this ravine start with Liu Qi!" ”
