Liu Bei's death was actually the biggest shock to the northern part of Yizhou.

On his deathbed, Liu Bei entrusted the northern part of Yizhou to Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liao Li, in fact, although Zhang Fei was outstanding in force and Liao Li was outstanding in intelligence, but these two people because of their embarrassing status, in fact, they were just auxiliaries, and the real ministers of Tuogu were actually Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, who were mainly Zhuge Liang in internal affairs and Guan Yu in military affairs.

Liu Bei's plan was for these two people to cooperate with each other, perform their respective duties, and work together to protect this piece of foundation in northern Yizhou.

However, the truth did not go as smoothly as Liu Bei had imagined, and only two months later, the first head-on conflict between Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang occurred after Liu Bei's death.

The origin of this conflict lies in Zhuge Liang's exceptional promotion of Yang Yi to Guan Yu's army.

In fact, in terms of Zhuge Liang's current responsibilities in charge of internal affairs, it is actually normal to promote an official, but Zhuge Liang did not discuss with Guan Yu, and it was really too much to directly insert Yang Yi into Guan Yu's army to join the army.

Because as we all know, Yang Yi is Zhuge Liang's cronies, and has always advocated uniting with Sun Quan to fight against Liu He, and he is impatient and narrow-minded in temperament, and he will repay him, which makes Guan Yu very unaccustomed to it, and now Zhuge Liang has arranged such a person to work by his side, and he is also a supervising member of the army, which makes Guan Yu very angry.

So when Yang Yi came to take office in the army, Guan Yu didn't accept it at all, and even Guan Yu's son Guan Ping directly ordered his own soldier Yang Yi to beat him with a stick.

Yang Yi suffered such grievances, and immediately cried to Zhuge Liang, saying that Guan Ping did not beat him, but actually Zhuge Liang.

For this, Zhuge Liang naturally knows it, this is clearly Yang Yi's instigation, in fact, Zhuge Liang appointed Yang Yi, on the one hand, he took a fancy to Yang Yi's talent, although this person is young, but he is very talented in preparing grain and grass, specifying combat planning, etc., if he uses it well, he is definitely a good assistant to Guan Yu, of course, on the other hand, this is also a test of Guan Yu, to see if Guan Yu can accept his arrangement for him, and now he really sees Guan Yu's tough attitude and does not accept his own arrangement, Although Yang Yi was reprimanded, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

So Zhuge Liang took advantage of Guan Yu's return to Chengdu on a business trip to propose the appointment of Yang Yi again, and clearly pointed out Yang Yi's talent.

However, Guan Yu objected to this, saying that Yang Yi was not a bunch of them, and said that Yang Yi was arrogant and narrow-minded, offended people everywhere, and all the generals in the army did not like it, and he was not suitable for the army, and hoped that Zhuge Liang would not arrange him.

Since Guan Yu strongly objected, and the other party was also the minister of Liu Bei's arrangement, Zhuge Liang naturally couldn't say anything, although the dissatisfaction in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, but it was inconvenient to cause a situation of disharmony for the sake of a Yang Yi, so he had to transfer Yang Yi to his side.

Later, Zhuge Liang put forward some personnel appointments, all of which were civil officials, and were sent by Zhuge Liang to various places to be county guards, such as appointing Dong He as Qian's Taishou, Yi as Hanjia Taishou, Yin Mo as Jiangyang Taishou, Li Hui as Bajun Taishou, and let Guan Yu concurrently serve as Zitong Taishou, the Governor of Western Sichuan, and the Governor of Western Sichuan.

At the same time, he was preparing to send Qin Mi to Jiangdong to make peace with Sun Quan.

"Kong Ming, you, what do you mean by this?" Seeing these arrangements, no matter how stupid Guan Yu was, he knew that Zhuge Liang's intention was actually to prepare to adopt a strategy of connecting Jiangdong and resisting Liu He, so he couldn't help but be shocked and asked.

But saw Zhuge Liang arch his hand and said: "General Guan, it's really not a secret, the reason why Liang did this is mainly to make peace with Jiangdong, it is best to form an alliance, in order to create a relatively stable environment for the development of our army, Wu Shu has been at war for many years, both sides are exhausted, although Wu Gong is Liu He's in-law, but he does not trust him very much, especially now, the lord died of illness, Liu He not only did not join him to attack, but suppressed Sun Quan, so that he did not send troops, which has made Sun Quan doubtful, if we are at this time the lord is good, Sun Quan will definitely put aside the prejudices of the past and form an alliance with us, and the area where our army now borders Liu He's territory is just a Hanzhong, which is equivalent to using Sun Quan to guard the border for me, our army only needs to garrison Baishui Pass, and can block Liu He's army from the country, General Guan, you lead the army to garrison in person, and we take advantage of the war between Liu He and Sun Quan to develop ourselves, once there is an opportunity in the future, or can go north to the Central Plains, attack Chang'an, even if not, the hope of finding an opportunity to capture Hanzhong is still very large, As long as Hanzhong is owned by our army, we can threaten Liu He's Yongliang and Chang'an regions at any time, so that he has to divide his troops to defend ......"

Guan Yu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, pointed at Zhuge Liang and said, "Hehe, Kong Ming, do you know what you're doing?" If it weren't for the fact that Duke Qin played in front of the Son of Heaven and personally came forward to suppress Sun Quan, how could Chan'er's position be able to sit firmly? I'm afraid that if Sun Quan doesn't need to attack at that time, my Yizhou will fall apart, where is there today? Now you are ignoring the Duke of Qin, who is kind to us, and instead go to make friends with our great enemy Sun Quan, you, what are your intentions? I know that your brother is in Jiangdong, and both of you brothers are planning to realize the union of Jiangdong and Yizhou, so as to change the embarrassing situation of your enemies against each other, but this is not a reason for you to betray my interests in Yizhou, besides, I attach the Duke of Qin in Yizhou in order to achieve stable internal development, this is a strategy designated by the eldest brother himself, how can you turn your back? The eldest brother is still cold, and you dare to change the strategy of the eldest brother without authorization, which is really bold! ”

After all, Zhuge Liang is only a twenty-three or four-year-old young man, although he has excellent intelligence and is calm, but at this time, he was so accused by Guan Yu, but it was also a little unbearable, and he said to Guan Yu: "General Guan, you must know that the reason why the lord died of illness was mainly because he was stimulated by Liu He's canonization of Sun Quan, felt Liu He's capriciousness, and was disappointed in the future, so he ended up depressed. Although the lord did not talk about our army's strategy for Liu He when he was dying, I believe that the lord will definitely support the matter of uniting Jiangdong, therefore, from this point of view, Liang is not a betrayal of the lord, Liang is in order to be able to make the lord's foundation continue for a long time, so he changed his course. ”
