When we went to school, we all studied Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair", and it is estimated that many students at that time admired Zhuge Liang's "three points of the prophet who did not come out of the world", but as we grew older, we found that it was impossible to talk about soldiers on paper, and Zhuge Liang's ultimate goal was not to divide the world, but to "achieve hegemony and restore the Han Room".
Zhuge Liang's strategic concept was to help Liu Bei take Cao Cao's place, saying that it was better to "serve the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate", and to put it bluntly, or to "blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes"--the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons did not take Zhou Tianzi seriously.
According to Zhuge Liang's plan, if Liu Bei wanted to become the overlord of the Han Dynasty, he must first have two necessary conditions: first, to occupy Jingzhou, the land of four wars; second, to use Yizhou as a large rear and a base for replenishing grain and troops.
There is a great military figure (for His Holiness, gu concealed his name) believes that Zhuge Liang's Longzhong has two fatal wounds: First, There is Cao Cao in the north of Jingzhou and Sun Quan in the east, which is very likely to be attacked from both sides, it is difficult to develop steadily, and it may also become a crusher of resources and troops; second, Zhuge Liang forgot that when the princes were fighting for hegemony, there were only eternal interests and no eternal enemies and friends, and it was itself wishful thinking to pin the safety of Jingzhou on the "ally" Sun Quan.
Zhuge Liang was an outstanding politician and military expert, and he formulated long-term plans for Liu Bei, the patriarch of the Han Dynasty, and could only proceed from the perspective of reviving the Han Dynasty, and his strategic conception was basically realized twenty-four years before Jian'an. Therefore, we can only express our admiration for "Longzhong Pair" and it is best to have less doubts.
Zhuge Liang had foresight, without the "Longzhong Pair", there would have been no Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan Dingzu three points - before inviting Zhuge Liang out, Liu Bei spent most of his life running east and west, and his territory, wife, and son were lost more than once, and it was after Zhuge Liang formulated the long-term strategy of uniting Wu and resisting Cao that Liu Bei could talk to himself and become Jingzhou Mu, Grand Sima (大司馬), Lingsi Lieutenant Colonel, Yizhou Mu,and King of Hanzhong.
After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was no longer able to annihilate Liu Bei, and Sun Quan was very kind to Liu Bei:
"Wuling Taishou Jinxuan, Changsha Taishou Han Xuan, Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan, and Lingling Taishou Liu Du all descended. Lujiang Lei Xu led tens of thousands of mouths. Qi fell ill and died, and the group pushed the first lord to be Jingzhou Mu and rule the public security. Quan is a little afraid, and the sister is good. The first lord to kyo to see the right, silk Mi Enji. ”
The three-hundred-word "Longzhong Pair" completely changed Liu Bei's fate, and also indirectly affected the historical trend of the late Han Dynasty: If Liu Bei did not unite with Sun Quan, then Cao Cao's southern expedition would definitely be like a broken bamboo, first destroying Liu Bei and then taking Jiangdong, then the unification of the world was just around the corner - according to Cao Cao's original idea, after he pacified the world, he went home to hold his children.
The reason why Cao Cao had great power to monopolize the millions of troops and dominate the world was because
"Let the country have no orphans, and I don't know when a few people are called emperors and a few people are called kings."
He did not dare to "entrust the soldiers to return the deacons and return to the Marquis of Wuping", but he was also afraid that after losing his military power, he would be settled by his political enemies after the autumn:
"I am sincerely afraid that I will be a disaster for my soldiers." If you plan for your children and grandchildren, but if you are defeated, the country will be in danger, and it is necessary not to deal with real disasters in a false name, and this cannot be done. ”
In a word:
"The rivers and lakes are not quiet, and they must not give way!"
The rivers and lakes were not quiet, that is, Liu Bei and Sun Quan refused to obey the management of the Han court, they had their own armies, and the territory they occupied did not pay taxes to the imperial court, if there was no Cao Cao to raise, Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty, would be hungry.
We can't say that Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" is the origin strategy of the world's three lives, but in Cao Cao's view, Liu Bei's Sun Quan is a rebellion that must be eliminated, and how The Heavenly Son Liu Xie thinks, it is estimated that only he himself knows: "Cao Cao is indeed very strong, but when he saw me, he was also polite and thoughtful, and he also sent his three daughters into my harem - if he really had the heart of usurper, how could he push his daughter into the fire pit?" ”
Liu Bei Sun Quan did not give Liu Xie a piece of meat and a piece of money, which was certainly not in accordance with etiquette at that time, so the world's Yingjie all ran to Cao Cao, and Meng Jianmeng Gongwei, Shi Tao Shi Guangyuan, and Xu Shu Xu Yuan of the "Four Friends of Zhuge Ge" ran straight to Cao Cao--Xu Shu's entry into Cao's camp without saying a word was pure fiction, and this official position in Cao Wei was "Yushi Zhongcheng", and there was no Yushi Dafu in that year, and Yushi Zhongcheng was the head of the Yan officials, and he relied on ginseng to eat.
It is difficult to comment on the merits of Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair", and before Zhuge Liang's Three Kingdoms, Lu Su also presented "Policy on the Bed" to Sun Quan.
Lu Su's "Policy on the Bed" will not be included in the textbook, because in the eyes of the vast majority of people, Lu Su is a kind and kind old and good man, and he vigorously advocates liu kang cao, which is equivalent to saving Liu Bei's life, and "Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou" also made Lu Su suffer a lot of splints.
Is Lu Su a good old man who is "rotten and loyal and useless"? To answer this question, we cannot just look at the novels without looking at the historical data. Lu Su in the main history is a literary and martial all-rounder:"
Su's physique is strange, and there are few strong knots, so it is a strange plan. The world will be chaotic, but learn fencing and riding archery, recruit young people, give them food and clothing, shoot and hunt in the South Mountains, yin and yang, and teach martial arts. ”
Lu Su was once appointed by Yuan Shu as the governor of Dongcheng County (Han system: large counties for orders, small counties for the chief), Lu Su looked down on Yuan Shu, so he abandoned his official and fled with hundreds of people, facing a large number of pursuing Yuan Shu cavalry, Lu Su showed another magic of divine shooting:
"Plant your own shield, shoot it with your bow, and shoot it with your arrows." Riding is both solemn and solemn, and the degree cannot be controlled, but the phase rate is returned. Su crossed the river to see the strategy, and the strategy was also Yaqi. ”
Lu Su was a warrior, but for the Han court, he was definitely not a loyal subject, and he presented the "Policy on the Bed" to Sun Quan, and the "heart of the non-subject" was fully revealed:
"The Han Chamber cannot be revived, and Cao Cao cannot be eliminated." For the sake of the general, only dingzu Jiangdong, to see the world's provocations. The scale is not to be blamed. Who? Northern sincerity is also multi-tasking. Because of its many tasks, he eliminated Huang Zu, entered Liu Biao, and even the Yangtze River was extreme, according to it, and then built an emperor to try to the world, and this high emperor's karma was also. ”
This is Lu Su's "Tatami Strategy" that cannot be included in the text, and the reader Zhu Jun, after reading the six words of "The Han Room Cannot Be Revived", should have a preliminary understanding of Lu Su's personality, and he persuaded Sun Quan to seize Liu Biao's Jingzhou and then build the title of emperor, which is similar to Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair", but it is more straightforward, as if the operability is also stronger.
Zhuge Liang wanted to take Jingzhou, Lu Su also wanted to take Jingzhou, and their lord Liu Bei Sun Quan also felt the same way, and this was the fragility of the "Sun Liu Alliance": Jingzhou would surely become a powder keg to blow up the Sun Liu Alliance -- both sides wanted to monopolize Jingzhou, how could the Sun Liu Alliance be stable?
Many people think that it was after Lu Su's death that Eastern Wu took military action to attack Jingzhou, but in the main history, Lu Su also participated in the battle to capture Jingzhou:
"Twenty years later, Sun Quan had gained the benefit of the prefecture with his ancestors, and the envoy wanted to get Jingzhou. The first lord said: 'Liangzhou must be obtained, and jingzhou should be with it.' 'Quan was angry, but lü Meng attacked and captured the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang. For the record, self-return public security, send Yu to fight for the three counties. Suppress Yiyang and refuse with Yu. Su invited Yu to meet, and each soldier and horse were stationed on a hundred steps, but please meet with the general with a single knife. ”
If cao Cao had not stirred up trouble in Hanzhong, when Jian'an was twenty years old, Sun Quan and Liu Bei would have fought to the death in Jingzhou, and Lu Su was leading a large army to confront Guan Yu at this time.
The focus of the conflict between "Longzhong Pair" and "Tatashang Policy" is in Jingzhou, and the difference between Zhuge Liang and Lu Su is that one wants to revive the Han Room, and the other thinks that the Han Room cannot be revived, but in the end it is the same destination: they both helped their lord Gong Jian to claim the title of emperor, and when Liu Beisun Quanjian was proclaimed emperor, Liu Xie, although he had become the Duke of Shanyang, was really alive.
Zhuge Liang and Lu Su are both advising their lords, and Liu Xie, the Son of the Great Han Dynasty, is not the object of their allegiance, so we can't talk about loyal and rebellious subjects, and here we have to ask readers about the question of the kings, which is zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" or Lu Su's "Tatami Strategy"? With both sides using Jingzhou as an important strategic support point, how can we maintain sun-liu alliances from breaking down? Do you think that Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" really has a fatal hard wound?
