No. 652 'Let Xuzhou' Plan 7
Jin Jue's 'Let Xuzhou' plan, Lu Su is thinking in reverse of the short-term impact and the long-term impact.
In the short term, it is somewhat unfavorable for Liu Bei.
It is reflected in three aspects.
The first aspect is righteousness.
Confucius has a cloud: only the instrument and the name, not the dummy.
If according to Jin Jue's suggestion, after Liu Bei ceded Xuzhou, he openly no longer recognized the legitimacy of Emperor Han Xian's throne, and openly declared that he would only be a courtier of the Han Dynasty, and no longer a courtier who was manipulated by traitors like a puppet and was the unfilial son of Emperor Han Ling.
This is in front of the princes of the world and the common people who understand the reason, Chi Guoguo completely pulled out the little emperor's face, not his underwear.
As for Emperor Han Xian, who should be the emperor of the Han Dynasty? Liu Bei wants to be humble, he can make it clear in the public text that he himself has no ambition to be the emperor, as long as he is not Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the descendants of Emperor Gaozu who have great virtue and great wisdom left behind in the world can ascend to the throne. At this time, Liu Bei could also send a letter to Liu Biao privately and ask him what he meant.
Liu Biao naturally wouldn't agree on the surface, but in fact, he must be very happy and satisfied with Liu Bei's attitude.
When the time comes, Liu Bei proposes to borrow grain from Jingzhou, and Liu Biao will inevitably not refuse.
The second aspect is the scholars.
Nowadays, in the Han world, there are still many families or scholars who are still loyal to Liu Han, once Liu Bei openly pulls out the face of Emperor Han Xian, this part of the scholars will definitely hate and hate Liu Bei.
Liu Bei didn't care about this, it should be said that when he took over the position of Xuzhou Assassin from Tao Qian, he still cared very much about what the corporal of the world thought of him. However, in the past three years, there has not been a famous scholar who defected to him again, and in addition to the betrayal of the Chen family in Guangling County, Liu Bei has now given up continuing to win the support of this part of the family and scholars of the Han Dynasty.
The third aspect is the people.
Xuzhou has the same hatred for the enemy, and Liu Bei himself has personally felt this.
However, in ancient times, the Chinese people relied heavily on the land and moved lightly, and if it was not really impossible to live, not many people were willing to leave their hometowns and leave their homes where they had lived for a long time. Therefore, Liu Bei actually took the initiative to abandon Xuzhou this time, and was ready to move all the people of Xuzhou to the four counties of Jianghuai, but he may not get the support of all the people in Xuzhou who were loyal to him.
However, most of the people of Xuzhou now know that Liu Bei took the initiative to give up or give up Xuzhou, that is, as a courtier of Emperor Han Xian, he had to do this. And Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was controlled by Cao Cao, an enemy who had a deep hatred and blood hatred with most of the people of Xuzhou, so if Liu Bei wanted to leave, most of the people of Xuzhou were still willing to leave with him.
However, in the long run, it is extremely beneficial to Liu Bei.
First, Liu Bei so openly questioned and then no longer recognized the identity of the legitimate heir to the throne of Emperor Han Xian, although it would be questioned by the world, but from now on, any will of Emperor Han Xian would be useless to him.
Liu Bei no longer recognizes Emperor Han Xian as the emperor, and you, the puppet emperor, have made a will for Liu Bei in the future,
It's a fart!
It's a smelly fart!
Not only for Liu Bei, but if other princes received an unfavorable will from Emperor Han Xian, they could also learn from Liu Bei's measures, and everyone would not recognize the status of Emperor Han Xian. Correspondingly, under the influence of this, the reputation of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty will inevitably plummet, and Cao Cao's role and significance in controlling him in his hands will be greatly weakened.
Second, Liu Beijun took the initiative to give up more than half of the territory that he had already obtained this time, and his reputation would inevitably be affected, that is, some of Liu Bei's subordinates questioned him. However, this is all temporary, just like the extremely shallow example given by Fa Zheng, Liu Bei did this in order to concentrate his forces together, like a clenched fist, ready to attack Sun Cejun or Cao Caojun who dared to attack him again.
Among them, Jin Jue's side also paid a very big price for this.
In order to be able to make Liu Bei adopt the plan he came up with, Jin Jue gave back to Liu Bei the Runan County that was about to be taken all of it.
As mentioned before, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Runan County in Yuzhou and Nanyang County in Jingzhou were both known as the counties of Banzhou. Not only because these two counties have a vast area, but also because they have the largest number of subordinate counties in the two counties, and at the same time, Nanyang County and Runan County are located in the Central Plains, with fertile land and very high grain production.
Moreover, more importantly, Nanyang County has been the center of trade and trade in the surrounding area since the pre-Qin period, and in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, although it was destroyed by the Yellow Turban Army, Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao, this status of Wancheng has not changed.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, if you occupy one of these two counties, you will only have the qualifications to compete with the heroes for the world.
Third, taking the initiative to give up Xuzhou will make Cao Cao involuntarily begin to despise Liu Bei, and at the same time, he will also have a certain sense of slackness in his heart.
With these two feelings, coupled with the fact that Cao Cao not only has to fight with the Chen family over the real control of Xuzhou, but also has to find a way to subdue the Taishan thieves, within a year or two, he naturally has no energy to pay attention to Liu Bei, who is 'shrinking' in the four counties of Jianghuai.
"Lord, let's not talk about anything else, before, at the request of the second son of Jin, the Fu Tong who recommended to Liu Jingzhou, what he is doing in Nanyang County now, you must have heard of it. Now it seems that it is simply a miniature version of the 'Let Xuzhou' plan formulated by Jin Ergongzi. Finally, Lu Su mentioned again.
At this time, Yuan Jian had already seen that Liu Bei seemed to be intent on moving, so he couldn't wait for Liu Bei to ask his opinion, took the initiative to stand up, and exhorted loudly: "Lord, don't do it!" Xuzhou has experienced repeated wars and has not had a good life for several years. The people are in such a predicament, and in addition to the fact that he actually let you take the initiative to break with the Son of Heaven, if you follow the advice of the ignorant child, this is a self-defeating act! ”
"Hehehe!" What answered Yuan Jian was Liu Bei's three wry smiles.
"Yaoqing, don't be impatient, you sit down first." After laughing, Liu Bei waved his hand at Yuan Jian and commanded.
After Yuan Lian sat down, Liu Bei asked: "Yaoqing, you yourself said that Xuzhou has experienced many wars in recent years, and the people are so distressed, so if you want to hear you, Xuzhou is like this, is it the fault of being incompetent, unstoppable, and extravagant?" If not, then whose fault is it? ”
