Chapter 99: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore

"Cao Ziheng is a person, and he knows a little about it."

Pang Tong looked at Kong Ming, who was listening carefully, and finally felt a little more comfortable in his heart.

"Before the Cao thief conquered Zhang Xiu, he brought his son to the same expedition, and in the second year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu first surrendered and then rebelled, so that Cao Zixuan died, and Cao Ziheng escaped on horseback."

Zhang Fei interjected: "What are you talking about, what do you mean to surrender first and then rebel, is that Cao thief doing human things?" ”

"Third brother, don't say much." Liu Bei scolded to prevent digression, and motioned for Pang Tong to continue.

"After Cao Ziheng died, Cao Ziheng has been raised in Xu Du so far, before Kong Ming and I outlined his power struggle, this son does not go through the army, does not know the soldiers."

"The lord walks alone to Yiling, but the Cao thief in the north who is not traversing the battle array, only one son, Sun Hou pretends to drag it out, and there are rotten Confucians in the court who talk about it, and their people will watch the fire from the other side."

Pang Tong said vaguely, but Zhang Fei understood it:

"The military advisor means that this Cao Pi is a housekeeper?"

Everyone nodded, isn't that what it means?

[The brotherhood of Liu Guanzhang is known all over the world.

At the end of October 220, Cao Pi officially usurped the Han Dynasty as emperor, and at a court meeting, Cao Wei raised an issue:

Will Liu Bei be defeated by Guan Yu because of his death?

The opinions of Cao Wei's courtiers were quickly unified:

"Shu, a small country ear, a famous general Wei Yu. The feather army was broken, the country was afraid, and there was no chance to make a comeback. ”】

Wei Yan's eyes were a little reverent, although the ministers of the Cao thieves were not inferior in words, but at least they recognized General Guan's toughness, a famous general!

Zhang Fei smiled: "Big brother, it seems that this Cao thief's rebellious minister is quite confident. ”

Liu Bei didn't speak, but just looked at the word usurper and was stunned:

In the eyes of later generations, the Later Han Dynasty died?

He sneered: "If you act rebelliously, you don't dare to admit it?" To call Han Shu is self-deception. ”

"It's easy." Guan Yu said lightly:

"Wait for my brother Chen Bing Xu Du, I will immediately ask this minister with a knife, are we Shu or Han?"

[But at this time, only Liu Ye jumped out and disagreed, this person saw Liu Bei's character very clearly.

First of all, I think that Liu Bei has a strong personality, never accepts softness and is not tactful enough.

This is true, after all, Liu Ye is a descendant of Liu Yan, the king of Fuling, after Guangwu, and a true clansman.

I'm a genuine royal family who should obey the people, you say that you are a clan relative who can't beat 800 poles, what do you fight for? 】

Liu Bei was no longer attached to the identity of the emperor's uncle, and he just smiled faintly when he heard the words, but it was more of a pity:

"Ziyang has the courage to know people, but it is a pity that Cao thief is kind to him."

Jiang Wan was both unconvinced and a little angry:

"After the ancestor, he served as a thief, and the lord started at the end of the year and did the things of glory."

"The grace of the Cao thief is comparable to the grace of the Han family?"

"It's better than itself." Kong Ming shook his head: "During the Yangzhou Rebellion, Cao Thief did have kindness in saving him from the chaos. ”

"However, as a clan relative, it is not wise to lose all the righteousness."

Zhang Fei was more realistic and shouted:

"Hey, the surname Cao is digging the ancestral grave in front of him, he can still ignore it, but he is a good courtier!"

[In terms of personality, Liu Ye believes that the more desperate Liu Bei is, the more he will take drastic measures to show that he is still at ease.

Secondly, the relationship between Liu Bei and Guan Yu is nominally a monarch and a minister, but in fact the relationship is stronger than the relationship between father and son.

Now that Guan Yu is newly mourned, if Liu Bei can't raise troops to avenge him, then how to give Guan Yu an explanation?

Liu Ye saw Liu Bei very clearly, and later Fu Xuan, a famous minister of the Western Jin Dynasty, also analyzed Liu Ye very clearly:

With Liu Ye's wise and powerful calculations, if he is virtuous and faithful, the ancient sages will be like this.

To put it another way, it is to scold Liu Yekong for having a sage's brain, which is neither virtuous nor faithful.

But from another point of view, that is, such a famous minister also needs to admit that Liu Ye's brain is really good. 】

"Is this a compliment or a curse?" Zhang Feimeng circled.

Kong Ming shook the feather fan and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, there has been death, and the people have no faith and cannot stand." ”

"Faithfulness and righteousness are the foundation of one's life, and if there is nothing like this, what is the use of having no talents."

"As soon as the military advisor explains this, I will understand!" Zhang Fei punched his hands:

"This person is scolding this Liu Ye for not being a person!"

"This Liu Zichu has a talent for knowing people." Pang Tong is quite impressed:

"In a few words, it can be concluded that the lord will definitely go out of Yiling, but if later generations comment like this, I am afraid that Liu Zichu will not die well."

[Unlike strategists like Guo Jia Kongming, who can make a strategy to stabilize the country, Liu Ye is well-known in history more because his transcendent plan was not adopted.

One is that after Cao Cao took Hanzhong, Liu Ye persuaded Cao Cao that he must look at Shu, and he needed to take advantage of the instability of Yizhou to win the power of victory, and the people of Yizhou would inevitably return to the wind.

If you don't fight now, Liu Bei will have Zhuge Liang Fazheng and Wu Guan Yu Zhang Fei, and after Yizhou is settled, people will have no chance of fighting.

In the face of Liu Ye's persuasion, Cao Cao made the famous decision that "Delong can't look at Shu". 】

"One strategy is too good for Anguo." Kong Ming disagreed:

"If there is no tenacity of the lord and the generals fighting to the death, Longzhong is just talking about it."

"Cao Thief retired from the army, I remember that it was because the blue-eyed uncle went to get the title of Sun 100,000, right?"

Cao Cao's refusal to take Hanzhong was followed by the Battle of the Ditch, and Zhang Fei remembered it clearly:

"If the Cao thief knows the name of Zhang Babai, I'm afraid he will attack Yizhou."

"This policy is also suspicious of talking on paper." Guan Yu carefully pondered in his mind and said:

"There is a prank-and-ramp road in Guanzhong to attack Yizhou, and there is a waterway to transport grain and grass, but when you enter Yizhou, it is difficult to walk on the Taurus Road."

"And Cao Thief has no Yizhou to surrender generals, and he doesn't know geography, how can he quickly attack Yizhou?"

"His talent is not as good as that of a military advisor." Jiang Wan concluded.

Kong Ming Pang Tong couldn't help nodding, then glanced at each other and then looked at Jiang Wan: Which military advisor are you talking about?

[The second is the Battle of Yiling, seven months after Liu Ye made Liu Bei's prediction that Liu Bei would inevitably send troops, Liu Bei really sent troops.

In the face of the attack of Shu Han, Sun Wu actively prepared for war on the one hand, and on the other hand, took the initiative to send envoys to surrender and become vassals.

Sun Quan took the initiative to soften! This is a big event, the courtiers congratulate him, and Cao Pi is also very happy, this is something that he has never been able to do in his life.

But just on this excitement, Liu Ye came again.

It can be seen that Cao Pi is very happy, so Liu Ye advised him very carefully, spoke bitterly, and spoke softly and slowly.

First of all, I think that with Sun Quan's ugly nature, it must be a critical moment to come down for no reason.

Now that Liu Bei is attacking Wu, Sun Quan is worried that we will also send troops to Jiangdong before we come to make a fake surrender, which can not only let us not send troops, but also play fox and fake tiger to intimidate Liu Bei.

The reason is simple and easy to understand, and when you finish speaking, you should draw a big pie:

Liu Ye thinks that if there are ten today, Cao has eight, and Sun and Liu each have one, and it is not easy to fight before the two help each other, but now they are fighting in the nest, this is a chance for God to give Your Majesty your reunification!

There was no need for any strategy at all, so he ordered all the troops and horses to go straight into the hinterland of Jiangdong, and attacked the inside and outside with Shu Han, and Sun Wu perished within ten days.

And after the demise of Sun Wu, Shu Han was alone, why fight with us? It's all consuming him! 】
