Fourteen Lu Su's great wisdom

Summary: In the eyes of many people, this is just a small episode in the Three Kingdoms period. In fact, the interception of the river and the seizure of Adou was the beginning of a radical change in the historical process of the Three Kingdoms, so it is necessary for us to seriously discuss it.

The core of "Longzhong Pair" is the Sun-Liu Alliance, and the specific embodiment of the Sun-Liu Alliance is the Sun-Liu marriage.

Sun Shangxiang married in Jingzhou and was arranged by Liu Bei in the public security. Sun Shangxiang's women's barracks is also stationed in the public security. When he was in Soochow, Liu Bei was very satisfied with the heavily guarded women's barracks, but Liu Bei felt very uncomfortable in the public security. "Prepare every time you enter, your heart is always dignified".

However, Liu Bei completely trusted Sun Shangxiang and her women's barracks based on Sun Shangxiang's protection of himself during his time in Soochow, and more importantly, his performance when he returned to the public security.

Therefore, Liu Bei gave his only bloodline one by one and handed it over to Sun Shangxiang to raise. Sun Shangxiang is Adou's only real adoptive mother.

We would like to emphasize in particular that when Sun Shangxiang and Adou are together, they are invincible.

After Adou ascended the throne in the future, there was the protection of Sun Shangxiang and the female barracks, and Zhao Yun, the natural patron saint of Adou, outside, and it was impossible for anyone to override Adou and become the father.

This was originally the best arrangement for Liu Bei to do what was behind him.

Zhuge Liang is extremely smart, when he was farming in Longzhong, he carefully analyzed the situation in the world with the objective attitude of a bystander, and formulated a correct plan that transcended time and space like "Longzhong Pair", which was appreciated, recognized, and valued by Liu Bei.

The later development of history proved that if Shu Han adhered to the national policy of "Longzhong Pair", Shu Han's career would develop rapidly. On the contrary, once Shu Han deviates from the national policy of "Longzhong Pair", it will suffer an irreversible defeat.

Even Zhuge Liang, who is extremely smart, cannot reverse the decline of Shu Han, who deviated from "Longzhong Pair".

Zhuge Liang has been pretentious since he was young, and he wants to monopolize power and control the world's major affairs.

Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei with the national policy of "Longzhong Pair", he tried his best to promote the Sun-Liu alliance during the Red Cliff War (if there was no Sun-Liu alliance at that time, Liu Bei's group would be quickly annihilated by Cao Cao), and he also tried his best to promote the Sun-Liu marriage (Zhuge Liang thought that Sun Shangxiang was just a little girl, no different from other girls).

However, when Sun Shangxiang led her women's barracks to the public security in a heroic manner, Zhuge Liang immediately gasped, and Zhuge Liang immediately understood that the young Sun Shangxiang became Adou's adoptive mother, and in the future, after Liu Bei, the young Liu Chan was under the protection of Sun Shangxiang and his female barracks, and his authority was unchallengeable. Zhuge Liang can only honestly be the minister of the humerus, and if he wants to monopolize power, he can only think of right and wrong.

Since then, Zhuge Liang has regarded Sun Shangxiang as the number one political enemy.

Breaking up Sun Shangxiang and Adou's mother and son is the most urgent first goal.

If Zhuge Liang wants to achieve the goal of monopolizing power after Liu Bei, he must break up Sun Shangxiang's mother and son.

Zhuge Liang was determined to disrupt Liu Bei's best arrangements for what was behind him.

The young and inexperienced Sun Shangxiang didn't know anything about it, and Sun Shangxiang regarded Zhuge Liang as a knowledgeable teacher and a minister of the humerus who devoted himself to Liu Bei's career.

(subtitled) 212 A.D.

Sun Quan summoned Zhang Zhao to meet in secret.

Zhang Zhao saluted and said, "The lord is a thousand years old." What is the important matter of summoning the old minister at night? ”

Sun Quan said solemnly: "Elder Zhang Ge, please take a seat." ”

Zhang Zhao sat upright and listened.

Sun Quan said: "My brother Huan Wang Sun Ce instructed on his deathbed to ask Zhang Zhao for internal affairs and Zhou Yu for foreign affairs. One thing in his heart is both an internal and an external matter. It's a pity that Zhou Yu has left alone, but fortunately, he had a message before his death, and now he wants to hear the old man's strategy. ”

Zhang Zhao asked, "My lord, what did Governor Zhou Yu leave behind?" ”

Sun Quan said: "Zhou Yu said that when the lord wants to take Jingzhou, he must first uproot the female soldiers of the county lord's battalion. ”

Zhang Zhao was shocked and said: "The lord wants to send troops to the public security and fight with the county lord and Zhao Yun? ”

Sun Quan smiled: "Definitely." Those who are uprooted are removed by force and by text. It is better to remove it without using swords. ”

Zhang Zhao nodded reassuringly and said, "That's the best." ”

Here we have to make it clear that Sun Quan, under the advice of Lu Su, lent Nanjun (Jingzhou) to Liu Bei for the sake of the Sun-Liu alliance and in order for Liu Bei to have a foothold, but this was by no means a unilateral charity from Eastern Wu.

Lu Su was portrayed in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as an honest man, loyal, but without great wisdom.

This is the words of the novelist.

The real historical Lu Su is a person with great wisdom, great skills, and strong martial arts. Lu Su's belief was to resolutely support the unification of the Han Dynasty and resolutely oppose the traitorous ministers' attempts to usurp the Han dynasty. Therefore, in Eastern Wu, Lu Su was the minister who was closest to Sun Quan's views and had the most harmonious relationship.

Lu Su best understands the great significance of the Sun-Liu Alliance, and also defends the Sun-Liu Alliance the most.

After the Battle of Chibi, how to settle Liu Bei and the army brought down by Liu Bei from Xinye (because of the victory of the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei's wandering army grew rapidly) was a serious issue discussed by Eastern Wu.

The best plan for Eastern Wu was to give Liu Bei a small city (such as public security), and then raise Liu Bei (such as the treatment of Keqing), and if a strong enemy came to attack, he could ask Liu Bei to cooperate in the battle.

However, such a small city (public security) cannot accommodate Liu Bei, a dragon.

Liu Bei took advantage of the victory in the Battle of Chibi and successively captured Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling.

In this way, Soochow is facing the powerful Cao Cao Group head-on, while behind it needs to guard against the enterprising Xiaolong Liu Bei Group. (Because at this time, Soochow possessed Nanjun, that is, Jingzhou, had blocked the path of Liu Bei's group facing Cao Cao's group and moving in other directions.) ）

The development trend of Liu Bei Group at this time is unstoppable.

But after Zhou Yu took Nanjun (Jingzhou), Liu Bei wanted to develop, and there were only a few ways like this:

First, continue to expand the territory in the south of the Yangtze River, which will inevitably have a fierce conflict with the interests of Soochow.

Second, or from Wuling, through the extremely steep and long trail, attack Xichuan. There are many difficulties in doing so, the most important of which is that the logistics cannot keep up.

Third, from the perspective of military strategy, the most suitable approach should be to seize Nanjun (Jingzhou), so that to the north can directly face Cao Cao's group, and to the west, you can smoothly march into Xichuan.

If Soochow does not handle the relationship with Liu Bei Group well at this time and gives Liu Bei Group a path of enterprising development, then Liu Bei Group, which is holding back in the rear, may tear up face with Soochow.

At this time, Nanjun (Jingzhou) had to defend against the powerful Cao Cao group head-on, and also defended against the Liu Bei group, which might suddenly change behind the back, so if Eastern Wu wanted to hold Nanjun (Jingzhou) at this time, it was inevitable to invest almost all of the elite troops of Eastern Wu, and no other military operations could be carried out.

Therefore, at that time, Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan to lend Nanjun (Jingzhou) to Liu Bei, which was actually a wonderful move of great wisdom.

At Liu Bei's request, Dongwu lent Jingzhou to Liu Bei, allowing Liu Bei to block the powerful Cao army in Jingzhou.

In this way, Soochow could let go of his hands and feet and pacify the entire Jiangnan with all his troops.

Lu Su even succeeded in taking Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling from Guan Yu in the game with Guan Yu.

In the end, Lu Su and Guan Yu were in the negotiation (that is, the famous Guan Yu's 'Linjiang Pavilion went to the meeting alone'), and the two sides agreed that the Xiangjiang River would be the boundary, Jiangdong would be returned to Soochow, and Jiangxi would be returned to Shu Han.

If Eastern Wu himself was stationed in Jingzhou, then as Lü Meng said to Sun Quan: "Order the conquest (conquest general Sun Jiao) to guard the southern county, Pan Zhang to live in the White Emperor, Jiang Qin will follow the river up and down, respond to the enemy's location, and Meng is the country's former base of Xiangyang, so, why worry about Cao, why rely on Yuyu?" ”

In this way, almost half of the elite of Eastern Wu need to be deployed in Jingzhou, where does Sun Quan still have the troops to develop his grand cause (especially Sun Quan's perseverance in the direction of Hefei)?

Therefore, when Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao were talking at night, taking Jingzhou was not Sun Quan's top priority now.

Sun Quan suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Elder Ge, what do you think of Lu Su?" ”

Zhang Zhao said: "Lord, the governor of Lusu is a great hero of Eastern Wu, a powerful minister, and a great sage." ”

Sun Quan said: "Let's hear it." ”

Zhang Zhao said: "My lord, earlier, although Lu Su was a white-clothed squire, in order to fund Zhou Yu's army, he poured his family wealth to help. Without Lu Su's funding, Zhou Langkong would have great ambitions and would not be able to display them. Now Lu Su supports troops and confronts Guan Yu, attacking and defending. Linjiang Pavilion and Guan Yu for a while, then take back Jiangxia, Changsha, Guiyang, this Zhou Yu Metropolitan Governor can not at that time. Therefore, the old minister thinks that Lu Su is a great hero and a great sage. ”

The Linjiang Pavilion talks are a matter for the future, so let's borrow it now.

Sun Quan sighed: "It's a pity, such a sage, I asked him to write a letter, but Lu Su refused." ”

Zhang Zhao was also quite surprised: "Why is this, please tell the lord clearly." ”

Sun Quan said: "You know, Sun Shangxiang calls Lu Su his elder brother, and he is the best with Lu Su. So I want to ask Lu Su to write a letter, saying that his mother is critically ill and asking Sun Shangxiang to return to Wu to visit his mother as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, Lu Su said, Wu Guotai is strong and healthy, how can he curse her indiscriminately? If you want Sun Shangxiang to return to her hometown and save her relatives, repair the family letter, and say that her mother and brothers miss her, so it is enough. And those who write to the family must study by themselves, and Lu Su cannot interfere in family affairs. ”

Zhang Zhao nodded and said: "Most of the governors of Lusu are reasonable, and the family letter must be self-studyed. ”

Sun Quan shook his head and said, "The old man is bad. This is not a family matter, but a state affair. Sun Shangxiang returned to Wu, and the female soldiers of that battalion were naturally brought back, and Zhou Yu explained that the female soldiers of the battalion of the county lord could be removed without using swords. ”

Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "Lord, in fact, the female soldiers of the county lord's battalion are not worried. ”

Sun Quan asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "My lord, the governor of Zhou Yu values the female soldiers of the county lord's battalion, but Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are not. Someone reported that Zhuge Liang once said to the minister: 'The lord is in the public security, the north is afraid of Cao Gong's strength, the east is afraid of Sun Quan's compulsion, and the near is afraid that Mrs. Sun will change under her elbows. As we all know, Liu Bei went to Mrs. Sun's place and saw that battalion of female soldiers, and his heart was always in awe. It can be known that although the female soldiers of the county lord are strong, they are not used by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. ”

This remark was said by Zhuge Liang after entering Sichuan, and Zhuge Liang had not yet entered Sichuan at this time. Because these words can best express Zhuge Liang's views on Sun Shangxiang, they were borrowed.

In order to detract from the relationship between Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei's group, Zhuge Liang did not hesitate to go out in person and spread rumors that Sun Shangxiang was unreliable and might even be a spy killer.

Zhuge Liang's words fully expressed Zhuge Liang's views at this time, he listed Sun Shangxiang and Cao Cao and Sun Quan as the biggest enemies, and Sun Shangxiang was close to the elbow and armpit, and he was the most dangerous enemy.

In addition, Zhuge Liang juxtaposed Sun Quan with his enemy Cao Cao, indicating that Zhuge Liang no longer regarded Sun Quan as an ally at this time, and the Sun-Liu alliance had begun to break down.

Sun Quan said: "Now there is no war in Jingzhou, so it is not used. Once the war in Jingzhou starts, this elite army will naturally be used. At that time, Soochow wanted to take Jingzhou, but it was difficult. ”

Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Quan regarded this matter as an important national event, so he had to obey his fate.

Zhang Zhao nodded and said: "There is no long-term worry, there must be near-term worry." The lord said yes. What can the old minister do for the lord? ”
