82 Sun Shangxiang's place in the history of the Three Kingdoms
82 Sun Shangxiang's position in the history of the Three Kingdoms
Sun Quan's words with Sun Shangxiang and Lu Xun have explained many mysteries in the history of the Three Kingdoms, some of which even experts in the history of the Three Kingdoms have not noticed. So it is necessary for us to say a few more words here.
Experts in the history of the Three Kingdoms and friends who are fans of the Three Kingdoms have noticed Sun Shangxiang as a distinctive character, but they all think that she is just a small tidbit in the history of the Three Kingdoms, a short-lived passer-by, and has no important role in the development of the history of the Three Kingdoms.
From Sun Quan's words, we can see that this view is wrong. Sun Shangxiang's actions played a key role in determining the historical direction of the Three Kingdoms.
Sun Shangxiang returned to Eastern Wu from the public security, and the development of the history of the Three Kingdoms is as known to everyone: Sun Shangxiang returned to Eastern Wu - the Wu-Shu alliance existed in name only - Guan Yu lost Jingzhou - the Wu-Shu War - Liu, Guan, and Zhang died one after another - the strength of Wu and Shu suffered heavy setbacks - the Northern Wei fisherman profited, not only got rid of the passive and unfavorable situation, but also became more powerful, becoming the unshakable boss of the Three Kingdoms, laying a good foundation for the ultimate unification of Jin.
So let's assume that if Sun Shangxiang had not returned to Soochow, what would have been the direction of the history of the Three Kingdoms? According to the most straightforward trend: Sun Shangxiang stayed in the public security,—— although the alliance of Wu and Shu still existed - Sun Shangxiang was Adou's adoptive mother, and his status remained unchanged - Liu Bei died of old age - under the auspices of Guan and Zhang, Adou succeeded to the throne (of course, there would be no so-called White Emperor Tuogu at this time, and Zhuge Liang was in charge) - Sun Shangxiang became the young empress dowager - due to the old age of Guan and Zhang, Adou was born to be Adou, and it was inevitable that Sun Shangxiang would be in charge of the power of Shu Han. Although Zhuge Liang had already known in his heart, he was helpless, so he could only do his best under Sun Shangxiang.
Ironically, this trend, the party, the young Sun Shangxiang, did not think about it.
There are many people who can see this trend clearly, the main ones are Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Sun Quan.
Liu Bei, of course, he knows his age and has some arrangements for his posthumous affairs. Although Liu Bei himself felt that it was not safe to be here with Sun Shangxiang, he was relieved to hand over Adou to Sun Shangxiang to raise, which shows that Liu Bei has deep hopes and expectations for Sun Shangxiang behind him. (It should be especially pointed out here that when the dragon and phoenix were auspicious, after Dongwu recruited relatives, Liu Bei was very secure under the protection of Sun Shangxiang and her female soldiers, so that he couldn't return for several months.) After returning to the public security, he became worried about the protection of Sun Shangxiang and her female soldiers. From the Book of Shu. Fa Zheng Biography" Zhuge Liang's words, we can see that Zhuge Liang has a job, and he reminded Liu Bei to pay attention to safety issues at Sun Shangxiang. )
And Zhuge Liang is now Bogu, of course he knows Sun Shangxiang's relationship with himself in the future political arena, does he want to work under Sun Shangxiang for a long time, or is it better to get rid of Sun Shangxiang?
As for Sun Quan, don't mention it, since he married his sister, he has already regarded Sun Shangxiang as a potential biggest opponent.
From here, we can see that Liu Bei arranged a historical road for Sun Shangxiang, which is most in line with Liu Bei's aspirations and ideals starting from Taoyuan's uprising - to destroy Cao Fuhan.
And Zhuge Liang has other ideas out of the consideration of political competition.
After Sun Quan tasted the sweetness of the Sun-Liu Alliance, he married Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei, but he felt that the results of the victory were unevenly distributed in the alliance, and after he felt resentment, he felt scruples about this little sister who had always been strong at home, and he was also quite worried about the situation of the brother-sister duel after Liu Bei in the future. Therefore, he arranged for Sun Shangxiang to return to Soochow for this scene, preparing to tear up the alliance.
Sun Shangxiang's return to Eastern Wu does not seem to be a big deal, Zhuge Liang knew with his wisdom that the Sun-Liu Alliance was going to exist in name only, and he was the only person who could save the Sun-Liu Alliance, but Zhuge Liang did not save the Sun-Liu Alliance, and Zhuge Liang cooperated with Sun Quan in a typical inaction to change the historical course arranged by Liu Bei.
In this way, the history of the Three Kingdoms was changed by Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang.
However, history is fair, and Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang will soon taste the bitter fruits of history being changed. When they regret it, it's too late!
Many Three Kingdoms fans are puzzled by Sun Quan's attitude and approach to his own little sister, and if they knew that Sun Quan once regarded Sun Shangxiang as one of his potential biggest opponents, they would understand.
At the same time, we seem to have evaporated from the world after Sun Shangxiang returned to Eastern Wu, and the history books of Eastern Wu and Western Shu never mentioned Sun Shangxiang, as if there had never been such a person, so we should understand.
Now I want to reveal a little secret of the crossing for the time-traveler: the easiest way to change the history of the Three Kingdoms - after the time-traveler possessed Sun Shangxiang, he saw through Sun Quan's trick and did not return to Soochow. In this way, history will enter the history of the Sun-Liu alliance to destroy Cao together according to Liu Bei's arrangement.
