Liu Ye, whose name is Ziyang, is a native of Chengde, Huainan, and is a descendant of Liu Yan, the king of Fuling, the son of Emperor Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor, and he is also a famous warlord of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period

However, in the official history, although Liu Ye put forward a lot of amazing strategies, but rarely adopted by the monarch, his life experience is somewhat similar to the earlier frustration, both are correct suggestions but the monarch just don't use it, so Liu Ye can also be said to be Cao Wei's version of frustration.

[Major Proposals Not Accepted]

Liu Ye served Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Rui for three generations, and all of them made many valuable suggestions.

When he was under Cao Cao, Liu Ye proposed to crusade against Chen Ce and was promoted by Cao Cao to Cao Peng. In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu, who was guarding Hanzhong, and appointed Liu Ye as the main book. At that time, Cao Cao's army arrived in Hanzhong County, the mountains were steep, difficult to climb, and military food was very scarce. Cao Cao said: "This is a place of delusion, whether there is it or not, it doesn't matter. Our army is short of food, so it is better to return to the army quickly. He personally led the soldiers back, and ordered Liu Ye to supervise all the people behind him, and let them go out of the mountain in order. Liu Ye calculated that Zhang Lu could conquer it, and the channel for transporting grain could not be continued, although he withdrew, the military horse still could not be intact, so Pegasus told Cao Cao: "It's better to devote yourself to attacking." He immediately marched into the army and shot at Zhang Lu's military camp with crossbows. Zhang Lu fled, and Hanzhong was finally pacified.

However, after Liu Ye continued to propose to Cao Cao to take the opportunity to attack Shu, Cao Cao no longer listened, and later Cao Cao repented and asked Liu Ye again, but Liu Ye said that the time had passed and could not be moved again. After returning, Cao Cao appointed Liu Ye as the marching commander and concurrently served as the leader. Later, Liu Bei attacked Hanzhong, and Xiahou Yuan was killed in battle.

In the period of Emperor Wen, the mediocre Meng Da surrendered to Wei, and Cao Pi was very happy to let Meng Da be the Taishou of the new city, and he was appointed as a regular attendant. Liu Ye disagreed, thinking that Meng Dagou would not be grateful for the picture, and if there was any change, he would definitely make chaos in the future. After the death of Emperor Wen, Cao Wei was turbulent, and Meng Da really rebelled.

In the first year of Huang Chu (220), Liu Ye was appointed as a servant and knighted as the Marquis of Guannei. Emperor Wen once issued an edict asking the ministers, asking them to predict whether Liu Bei would send troops to Wu to avenge Guan Yu. Most people say that Shu is weak and Liu Bei is powerless to take revenge, only Liu Ye thinks that Liu Bei and Guan Yu have a deep relationship and will surely avenge them. Later, Liu Bei really attacked Wu.

After Liu Bei attacked Wu, Sun Quan sent envoys to Wei to claim himself a vassal, and the ministers of Wei congratulated him, only Liu Ye thought that he should be cautious about this matter and investigate more, and also proposed to take the opportunity to send troops to attack Wu, but Cao Pi refused. Later, Cao Pi intended to crown Sun Quan as the king of Wu, Liu Ye advised again, thinking that Sun Quan's surrender was only a temporary matter, once Sun Quan defeated Liu Bei, things may change immediately, Cao Pi did not listen, insisted on Sun Quan as the king of Wu, after the battle of Yiling, Sun Quan's attitude really changed.

Cao Pi was furious because of Sun Quan's teasing and was ready to send troops to attack Wu, Liu Ye thought that Wu had the danger of the Yangtze River, and it was difficult to overcome it.

In the fifth year of the early Huang dynasty (224), Emperor Wen personally went to Sikou in Guangling County and ordered all the military horses of Jingzhou and Yangzhou to march together to prepare for the attack on Wu. He summoned the ministers and asked, "Will Sun Quan himself come?" Everyone said: "Your Majesty personally went out on the expedition, Sun Quan was terrifying, and he would definitely respond to the battle with the strength of the whole country." He did not dare to entrust the command of the army to the minister, and he would definitely lead it himself. ”

Liu Ye said: "He thinks that His Majesty will bind himself with the precious status of the emperor, and it is other generals who lead the troops to cross the river to fight, so he will definitely organize the army, wait for things to change, and will not attack in person." Emperor Wen's car stopped for many days, but Sun Quan really didn't come, so Emperor Wen returned with the army and said, "Your estimate is correct." We should consider a strategy to eliminate the two thieves Sun and Liu for me, and we can't just understand their situation. It's a pity that Shu and Wu were politically stable at that time, united with each other, and had natural hazards as defense, and Liu Ye had no way to do this.

After Emperor Ming came to power, Liu Ye was promoted to the title of Marquis of Dongting, and he was enclosed with 300 households. Earlier, Cao Rui did not communicate much with the minister, so people knew a lot about him, Liu Ye and Cao Rui exchanged some ideas, and evaluated Cao Rui as inferior to Emperor Qin and Han Wu, which was also quite pertinent in the eyes of later generations.

Later, Cao Rui posthumously honored his great-grandfather Cao Teng as Emperor Gao, and his wife Wu as Empress Gao, and ordered the ministers to discuss Emperor Gao's nickname Cao Teng.

In the second year of Taihe (228), Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong coerced his uncle Gongsun Gong to abdicate and established himself as the Taishou of Liaodong. At that time, Liu Ye advised Cao Rui to take the opportunity to attack Liao and seize Liaodong, but Cao Rui refused, but the court acquiesced in the matter at that time, Gongsun Yuan sent an envoy to the court, and recognized his rule over Liaodong.

【Reasons for non-acceptance】

It can also be seen from the above that the rulers of Cao Wei did not adopt Liu Ye's proposals, but those major proposals were basically not adopted. Like Liu Ye's proposal to crusade against Chen Ce and attack Yangping Pass, Cao Cao also listened; Cao Pi later said that Liu Ye's judgment was correct; Cao Teng's name matter, Cao Rui did not object to Liu Ye's suggestion.

However, on major issues such as taking the opportunity to attack Shu, and whether to transfer Meng Da, whether to unite with Wu, whether to crusade against Wu, and whether to take the opportunity to crusade against Liaodong, the three generations of monarchs of Cao Wei did not listen to Liu Ye's advice, although what Liu Ye said afterwards was proven, but the result did not change.

Why, first of all, it is necessary to say that on these big issues, these monarchs have their own thoughts in their hearts, and it is difficult to change, like Cao Cao because he won Longwangshu, took Jingzhou and wanted Yangzhou, but he failed miserably in Chibi, and spit out most of the Jingzhou in his hands, so after he occupied Hanzhong, he didn't want to continue fighting. And Cao Pi himself was even more emotional, and after being fooled by Sun Quan, he insisted on fighting Jiangdong without listening to persuasion.

But this is not the reason why Liu Ye's proposal is rejected every time, it was because Yuan Shao had an awkward quarrel with him, so he didn't listen to him, and Liu Ye was Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Rui didn't listen to him for three generations, which can't be said that the three generations of the Cao family hated Liu Ye.

The fundamental reason for Liu Ye's rejection still stems from his background, because Liu Ye is a relative of the Han family, and Cao Wei is a representative of the Han Dynasty, so the Cao family and the Liu family are natural enemies, because Liu Ye's surname is Liu, so the monarch of the Cao family has a natural rejection of him on some issues, and even more so on those big issues.
