Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are a pair of monarchs and ministers who are widely circulated in later generations, and the relationship between the two is often described as "the joy of fish and water", and the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang is indeed good in the official history, but there is no estrangement between the two. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo,:。

As the founder of Shuhan Group, Liu Bei often has his own ideas and opinions, and Zhuge Liang's influence on Liu Bei is actually limited.

turning point

Many people think that Liu Bei's Sangu thatched cottage is an important turning point in his life, which is actually very close to the real history, Liu Bei has already had Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other outstanding generals, but there has been a long-term lack of auxiliary strategists, Zhuge Liang's exit from the mountain is a very critical turning point.

Earlier, Liu Bei also had Chen Deng, Chen Qun, Xu Shu and others, but although these people were very capable, they were not Liu Bei's advisers, Chen Deng did not give much advice to Liu Bei in Xuzhou, Chen Qun had no news after Liu Bei became the ruler of Xuzhou, and Xu Shu only helped Liu Bei recommend Zhuge Liang.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang was actually Liu Bei's first real mastermind, and it was only after Liu Bei that Liu Bei successively took refuge in Pang Tong and Fa Zheng. Before Zhuge Liang took refuge in Liu Bei, although Liu Bei had a grand plan to dominate the industry in his heart, he had no direction, so he could only follow the 'wave' and occupy Xuzhou twice, but he had never been able to stay stable in Xuzhou, and successively took refuge in Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Lu Bu, Cao 'Cao', Yuan Shao and Liu Biao.

In the end, it was Zhuge Liang who proposed the "Longzhong pair" for Liu Bei, which pointed out the direction for him. After that, Liu Bei united with Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao, recaptured Jingzhou and occupied Yizhou, and became the overlord of one side.

Changes in the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang

The relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang is also changing with the passage of time, the relationship between the two was close earlier, and even Guan Yu and others couldn't stand it, at that time Zhuge Liang was Liu Bei's mastermind and followed him; After that, Pang Tong followed Liu Bei into Shu, and actually replaced Zhuge Liang as Liu Bei's mastermind, and during this period of time to capture Yizhou, Zhuge Liang fought in the army, and he was mainly a general; After that, Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, and Zhuge Liang was responsible for managing the rear, and actually became a big official in handling some government affairs; After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang ruled the overall situation, nominally Shu Han with Liu Chan as the emperor, but in fact it was ruled and managed by Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang was the nameless king of Shu Han at this time.

After Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times, he spent a honeymoon period with Zhuge Liang, which was almost until Liu Bei pacified Jingzhou. However, in this case, Liu Bei was not obedient to Zhuge Liang, earlier Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei to capture Xiangyang and capture Liu Cong, Liu Bei did not do it, and later Zhuge Liang advised Liu Bei not to go to Jiangdong alone, Liu Bei did not listen.

Later, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su and others recommended Pang Tong to Liu Bei, Liu Bei re-promoted Pang Tong under their suggestion, and kept him by his side, when he went to Yizhou, Zhuge Liang stayed in Jingzhou, and Pang Tong was taken away, in fact, Pang Tong has begun to replace Zhuge Liang at this time to become Liu Bei's mastermind, which is likely to be a starting point for Zhuge Liang's status in Liu Bei's heart, marking that Zhuge Liang is not the only one for Liu Bei, Liu Bei already has a spare candidate.

When Liu Bei seized Yizhou, Zhuge Liang did not give advice to Liu Bei again, but simply appeared as a leading general, after Pang Tong's death, it was Fa Zheng who gradually replaced his position, and Liu Bei did not leave Zhuge Liang for his planning. After occupying Yizhou, the highest treatment among the ministers was not Zhuge Liang, who was named a military general, but Mi Zhu, an Han general who was also a civil minister.

Later, Fa Zheng helped Liu Bei seize Hanzhong, Liu Bei established himself as the king of Hanzhong, and took Fa Zheng as the general of Shang Shuling and the general of the army, while Zhuge Liang was stationed in the rear, providing supplies, without merit and hard work, but there was no record of how many rewards he received.

In the first year of Zhang Wu (221), Liu Bei accepted Zhuge Liang's persuasion to be the emperor after Cao Pi, and then he took Zhuge Liang as the prime minister, recorded Shang Shushi, and faked the festival, which is of course because of Zhuge Liang's hard work over the years, as well as the work of the dragon, Liu Bei also trusts Zhuge Liang in his heart, but it has to be mentioned that Zhuge Liang has no competitors at this time, Fa Zheng and Pang Tong have died, Mi Zhu is not qualified because of Mi Fang's rebellion, and Liu Bei is not good without Zhuge Liang. After Zhang Fei was killed, the position of captain of Sili also belonged to Zhuge Liang.

In the second year of Zhang Wu (222), Liu Bei was defeated in Yiling, retreated to the White Emperor City, and before his death, Zhuge Liang was summoned to entrust the country and his son Liu Chan to him.

Reasons for the change

There are many reasons for the change in the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, I think the following three points are more important, the first is that the relationship between the two changes with time is normal, and secondly, Zhuge Liang began to have a substitute, so his status has declined, and finally the Zhuge family has two boats.

(1) Change due to the passage of time. No matter what kind of friendship, family affection and love, with the passage of time, there will always be big and small changes, no relationship can be permanent without the slightest change, the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang is also like this, they go from strange to familiar, from surprise to bland, more or less will change, but there will generally be no major changes if there are no other factors.

(2) The joy of fish and water is no more. Earlier, Liu Bei was extremely lacking in a strategist like Zhuge Liang, so he said: "There is Kong Ming in solitude, and there is water in the fish", comparing himself to a fish, comparing Zhuge Liang to water, and his stature is very low. However, in the later period, Liu Bei got Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and others, and at this time, Liu Bei could choose other ponds, and Zhuge Liang was no longer the only choice, so Zhuge Liang's status in Liu Bei's heart was low.

(3) Feet on two boats. In history, Zhuge Liang was under Liu Bei, but his brother Zhuge Jin took refuge in Sun Quan, and the Zhuge family can be said to be harmonious left and right, but this is also not welcomed, for example, Zhuge Jin has been criticized for this, although Zhuge Liang seems to be fine, but in fact, it is definitely influential in Liu Bei's heart.

Earlier, Liu Bei and Sun Quan had a good relationship, Liu Bei was weak and needed to be attached to Sun Quan, and this relationship would make Liu Bei reuse Zhuge Liang, and the impact was not great. Later, Liu Bei became bigger, and the relationship between him and Sun Quan deteriorated step by step, and Zhuge Liang was more or less excluded.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang had a great influence on Liu Bei in the early stage, but it was a little dull in the later stage, especially in the treatment of Sun Wu, Zhuge Liang was basically speechless, and even had to count on the dead Fazheng. In the later period of the Shu Han Group, Zhuge Liang was able to monopolize power, not only because his status and merits were sufficient, but also because the core figures of Shu Han had basically passed away at that time.
