Speaking of the Three Kingdoms era, Liu Bei's rise from the end of the decade is undoubtedly enjoyable. Looking at the storms and clouds at that time, Cao Cao was the first to raise an army, and he also ordered the Son of Heaven not to be subordinate, which can be said to occupy the time of heaven. The three generations of the Sun clan dominated the six counties of Jiangdong, and there was a Yangtze River graben as a danger, which was for geographical advantage. On the other hand, Liu Bei, who was the last to rise to the army, was born in cloth, and could only attract talents from all sides through the reputation of benevolent government and love for the people. Liu Bei's move actually occupied people.
In addition, Liu Bei's means of winning people's hearts and minds are also extremely clever. Looking at Liu Bei's many old ministers, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others, they were all first-class warriors in the world, and when Liu Bei entered Yizhou, he attracted a number of famous soldiers such as Fazheng, Li Yan, Liu Ba, and Xu Jing to use them. It can be seen that Liu Bei's ability to recognize people, employ people, and attract talents is commendable. However, there were exceptions to everything, Liu Bei had two former friends in his early years, but he threw himself into Cao Cao's command and became the two most famous town generals in Cao Wei's clique. One of them is Liu Bei's former friend, and the other is Liu Bei's neck-to-neck friend.
First, let's look at Tian Yu, who is Liu Bei's old friend of the teenager and the first group of people to follow Liu Bei. According to the "Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Tian Yu", "Prepare for the history of Yuzhou, Yu will return home with his mother and old, and prepare to weep and say goodbye, saying: 'Hate does not become a big thing with the king.' It is worth mentioning that Tian Yu and Xu Shu left Liu Bei for the same reason. In such an era of attaching importance to loyalty and filial piety, there was nothing wrong with Tian Yu's move. It was only Liu Bei, but he had lost a general with outstanding ability. After spending some time under Gongsun Zhan, Tian Yu did not receive his attention: "Although He knew that Yu had the right to plot, he could not do it. Later, Tian Yu had to set his sights on Cao Cao, and after considering the inability of his elderly mother to move, Tian Yu resolutely joined Cao Jun's command.
"Taizu summoned Yu to plot for the Xiang army, removing Yingyin and Langling Orders, and moving Yiyang Taishou to where he was." Fortunately, Cao Cao has always been a meritocracy. Tian Yu was quickly promoted after serving him. When Tian Yu served as the Taishou of Nanyang, he showed a courageous and decisive demeanor, and was even more highly valued by the Cao father and son. However, what really made Tian Yu famous and left his name in History was his credit for guarding the border.
Tian Yu's wisdom is worthy of recognition, he once helped Cao Cao's third son Cao Zhangdapo Karasuma and surrendered Kebineng. According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Tian Yu, "Marquis Zhangzheng of Yanling marched on dai county, with Yu as his counterpart... Because of the terrain, the return car is rounded, the bow and crossbow are full inside, and the suspected soldiers plug its gaps. Hu could not enter and disperse. Pursuit, great destruction, sui former Ping dynasty, all Yu Ceye. ”
Tian Yu's decisiveness is also praised. Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong had launched a rebellion, and Tian Yu went to quell the rebellion on cao Rui's orders. At that time, the State of Wu sent envoys Zhou He and Gongsun Yuan to collude with each other, and Cao Rui, seeing that there were many of them, planned to let Tian Yu retreat. Unexpectedly, Tian Yu decisively took advantage of the favorable conditions of terrain and weather to defeat the Liaodong rebels with a single blow and kill the Eastern Wu envoy Zhou He.
Tian Yu guarded the northern frontier for many years and laid the foundation of hehewei. According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Tian Yu, "At the beginning of the beginning, (Tian Yu) moved his envoys to protect the Xiongnu Zhonglang general, the general Jia Zhenwei, and the general who led and assassinated the state. Wai Hu smells its prestige and offers it. The borders of the state are peaceful, and the people cherish it. Throughout Tian Yu's life, he guarded the northern border, but he never lost. His merits and abilities are at the best of his ability.
Next, let's look at the trick. According to Sun Chu's "Monument to the Stroke of The Draw", "Jun and Liu Bei Shao Chang Heshuo, heroes of the same contract, for the neck of the friend." Because of the fear of being taboo, every time he decides to lose, he cares about Ji Meng. It can be seen that Zhao Zhao and Liu Bei are iron brothers who have known each other since childhood, and the two are even more neck-to-neck friends. Unfortunately, judging from the results, the pull did not follow his big brother. After experiencing Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang's father and son, he also chose to invest in the Cao Wei Group.
Among the many generals who guarded the northern frontier, the contribution of the lead was second only to that of Tian Yu. From the first year of the Huang Dynasty (220 AD), He was entrusted with the heavy responsibility of Cao Pi and went to Changping to deter the Xianbei ministries. After taking office, he adopted a policy of combining Enwei and Shi, and successfully brought the Xianbei tribes around Changping to the State of Wei. According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, "Recruit the Letter of The Broad Cloth, and invite the surrender." Jianyi Zhonglang will gongsun ji and so on, lead the generals to the subordinates, Xian each to the order; make the return of the county. And with more than 100,000 drops such as Xianbei Suli and Micah, all of them are stuffed. ”
After the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, Zhao Zhao became a general of the Wei state alone. The town guarded the frontier for many years, and was well aware of the treachery of the humble leader Kebineng. Therefore, he had advised Cao Rui to pay attention to zhuge liang's secret alliance with Kebineng. However, this proposal was not taken seriously by Emperor Wei. Soon after, Zhuge Liang did indeed instigate Kebineng to make a disturbance: "When the light is in Qishan, the fruit is sent to make the link Bineng." Thaneng to the ancient northern stone city, with the beginning and end. The emperor is commanding and making it cheap. After learning that it was the horse that was led, Zhuge Liang quietly retreated. It can be seen from this that the reputation of pulling the town to guard the border is so loud. Later, in order to eliminate the hidden dangers of Beiyi, he also came up with a clever plan. Unfortunately, before he could start implementing it, he died of illness.
It is worth mentioning that perhaps because Tian Yu and Zhao Zhao had an old relationship with Liu Bei, the Cao father and son did not let them confront the Shu Han clique. And it is precisely because the two of them have been guarding the border for many years, which has given them the opportunity to show their personal ambitions.
