Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

The news of Zhuge Liang's death quickly spread throughout Jingzhou, and then passed through Jingzhou to Cao Wei who lived in the Central Plains.When Yecheng received the news of Zhuge Liang's death, all the ministers, civil and military, were excited. They were not sad for Zhuge Liang's death, but cheered for Zhuge Liang's death.

Since the Han Dynasty 228, the army started to attack Wei. After ten years, Shu Han has leapt from a small country in the southwest to a big country in the west that confronts Cao Wei.During this period, Zhuge Liang made great contributions, defeated Cao Wei's army several times, and captured the land of Yong, Liang, and Jing. Central Plains.

Therefore, for everyone in Cao Wei, Zhuge Liang's death seemed to move a long-suppressed boulder, making them take a long breath and tense all the time.

You must know that before the big Han attacked Soochow, in order to guard against the big Han, both generals and civil servants of Cao Wei needed to be ready at any time to prevent the Shu Han from suddenly attacking one day.And every time the troops are dispatched, the world shakes.At that time, the Central Plains did not dare to remove the armor, and China did not dare to release the saddle.

But now the most important person of the great man, the most worried enemy of Cao Wei, Zhuge Liang died of illness, why not make these Cao Wei officials happy.

Sima Shi, who has always been prudent, couldn't help walking with wind and a smile on his face, and strode to his father Sima Yi's house.

Sima Yi, who was writing calligraphy with his head bowed, thought it was Sima Zhao when he heard the hurried footsteps, so he didn't raise his head to reprimand him directly, and said, "My lord, when dealing with affairs, a real man should act as if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and not change his face. If you act in a hurry now, you should take a deep warning. "

Sima Shi showed embarrassment, and said, "My father is me!"

"Oh!" Sima Yi frowned slightly. He didn't expect the eldest son, who had always been prudent, to lose his composure. He couldn't help being curious, and asked kindly, "Ziyuan is walking in a hurry, what's the important thing to report?"

Master Sima suppressed the joy in his heart, cupped his hands and said, "Report to father, Zhuge Liang is dead!"

"Snapped!"

"What?" As Sima Yi exclaimed, the writing brush in his hand fell to the ground, his face was extremely astonished, with an expression of disbelief.

"Father, Zhuge Liang is dead!" Master Sima emphasized again.

Hearing this, Sima Yi couldn't help but laughed loudly, and said: "I still have doubts about why the Shu thieves went south to conquer Sun Wu. He didn't go out, so it turned out that he was seriously ill. Now that he died of illness, it is God who blesses our great Wei!"

Sima Yi did not lead his troops to march south to Jingzhou at the beginning. Apart from the shortage of soldiers and horses, part of it was that Zhuge Liang’s traces appeared in Jingzhou. Combined with the two, Sima Yi finally gave up leading his troops to march south. pet post.

After rejoicing for a long time, Sima Yi sighed instead, and said: "Zhuge Liang is really a genius in the world! He was entrusted to be the master of the world, received meritorious service from the Shu Han, and became famous all over the world. After Liu Bei was gone, his heirs succeeded him and were protected. The task of assisting the young master, living up to the sincerity of Rannuo, is also the chief minister of a country, and the virtuous assistant of the overlord."

As he spoke, Sima Yi picked up the pen that fell on the ground, and asked, "How will Liu Chan be buried?"

"Buried him with the ceremonies of the princes and kings, and posthumously named him Xinghan Gong."

"The rites of the princes, Xing Han Gong." Sima Yi muttered a few words, and said with emotion: "Liu Chanduan is the benefactor, Zhuge Liang can be loyal to the two emperors of the Liu family, and overcome obstacles, which has a great relationship with the superior!"

To be honest, Sima Yi is quite envious of Zhuge Liang, knowing that he has met two generations of Ming masters, he has no doubts, and he has fulfilled his lifelong wish, displaying his talents without any scruples, and achieving what all ministers dream of.

Moreover, after Zhuge Liang died, Liu Chan did not bury Zhuge Liang, nor did he praise Zhuge Liang too much.Zhuge Liang has all the fame in front of him and behind him, and he has also got everything that a minister can get.

Master Sima walked up to Sima Yi's side and said, "Zhuge Liang was killed by the thief, and the great trouble is gone. I, Great Wei, may be able to regain momentum, regain Jingzhou, and restore the old map."

Sima Yi stroked his beard and said, "What Master Zi said may not be true. Although Zhuge Liang is dead today, the troubles in Shu may not be eliminated."

"Please teach me, father!"

Sima Yi paced around the house, analyzing and said: "Shu Han can dominate the world, suppressing the Qiang Hu in the north, and subduing Sun Quan in the south, how can it be Zhuge Liang who can do it alone. Thinking of it as a father, his master Liu Chan is also an extraordinary person. Liu Chan ascended on the basis of When I was young, when the country was impoverished and the people were exhausted, Zhuge Liang was entrusted with a great task, and Zhuge then took charge of the military and government, and he calmly persuaded the farmers to cultivate, so as to promote fashion."

"For a long time, during the Northern Expedition several times, Liu Chan lived in Hanzhong, thinking that he would respond later. My Great Wei Dynasty violated Hanzhong several times and failed, so it should be ruled by him. Looking at the people he appointed, there are few deviations, and they are all heroes. If this is not the master of understanding, what king can compare with it."

Although Sima Yi was idle at home, he was not idle. Instead, he took advantage of his spare time to study the family history of the Shu Han.He suddenly discovered that this monarch who seemed to seldom appear in the public eye was actually ignored by everyone.

Although Zhuge Liang has a great relationship with the big man who can develop to this point, if Zhuge Liang is not supported by Liu Chan, it may be difficult for the big man to develop to this point at all.

Looking at Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Cao Pi and other monarchs of the Three Kingdoms governing the country, you can find that Liu Chan is different. Since the Shu Han launched the Northern Expedition, there have been basically no mistakes in its general direction. After the first attack on Hedong, it failed.The Shu Han quickly adjusted its strategic direction and attacked Jingzhou, which was weakly defended by Cao Wei.

When Jingzhou was conquered and Cao Rui died of illness, the Shu Han had not drifted away.Taking advantage of the opportunity when Cao Wei licked his wounds, he seized the time and attacked Soochow, the weakest of the Three Kingdoms. Taking advantage of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Bashu and Jiaozhou, which borders Nanzhong, he directly crippled Soochow and raised his own dog.In an instant, it entered the situation where the Han and Wei countries were fighting for hegemony, and drove Soochow out of the game.

Its real stroke of genius is that it did not smash Hedong and Tongguan like the Qin State, forming a true three-nation confrontation.Instead, they took advantage of their own geographical advantages to attack Jingbei, conquer Jingchu later, and occupy Jingzhou entirely.

With Jingzhou fully occupied, the Shu Han completely broke the chess game that was trapped in Guanzhong, opened the way to expand eastward, and was no longer limited to the east and the three Jins.

Historically, Qin failed to obey Zhang Yi's words and beat Luoyang to death, but followed Sima Cuo's words to send troops to Bashu and attack Chu along the river.If you want to talk about a few people who changed the fate of Qin, Sima Cuo should be on the list.

Although Sima Yi didn't know what kind of changes happened inside the Shuhan, but Liu Chan was able to control the warship of the Shuhan and choose the right direction, which is already amazing.

We must know that for a monarch, political and military capabilities may be secondary, and the most important thing is to make the right choice at the critical time. This is extremely difficult.

Just like Yuan Shao in the late Han Dynasty.Yuan Shao seems to have many soldiers, many generals, and many advisers, but he has many ideas and few important things, and he is indecisive, which is his fatal flaw.Meeting Cao Cao, who is stronger and more decisive than him, basically becomes the background wall.

Or Cao Pi.The Battle of Yiling was a great opportunity given to Cao Pi by God, but Cao Pi missed the only chance to unify the country in the early stage of Wei State.At that time, Cao Pi ridiculed Liu Bei for camping for hundreds of miles, and An You fought like this.He didn't listen to Liu Ye's strategy of uniting Shu and attacking Wu, but also fell into Sun Quan's strategy of arrogant enemy.

If Cao Pi had adopted Liu Ye's suggestion at that time and joined Shu to attack Wu, that battle would have been a life-and-death battle for Wu.And once Cao Wei crossed the Yangtze River and occupied the land in the south of the Yangtze River, with the blessing of the powerful national power of the Central Plains, the Shu Han, like Gongsun Shu, waited for the country to perish.

After the Yiling War, Sun Quan rebelled. He ignored Liu Ye's advice and sent troops to the south again.He was defeated again, and waited for the Shu Han to conquer Nanzhong to strengthen himself.

Sima Yi, who experienced the period when he served Cao Pi at the end of the Han Dynasty and was still the minister of the country, of course knows how important an excellent helmsman is to the country.

Master Sima listened to his father's analysis, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "According to what my father said, although Zhuge is dead, but Liu Chan is still there, can the Shu thieves be underestimated?"

Sima Yi stopped in his tracks, with a contemplative look on his face, and said: "Or so, my Great Wei should take advantage of the time when Zhuge died of illness and when the Shu Han adjusted government affairs, to rest with the people, refine the soldiers and horses, and prepare them for later use. It is just for my father. Worrying about Zhuge Liang's death will make Cao Shuang arrogant and spoil the state affairs."

"Cao Shuang?" Master Sima nodded slightly, agreeing with this point of view.

With the power in his hands, Cao Shuang continued to place his confidantes in the center to suppress the veterans left by Cao Pi and Cao Rui.Most of the confidantes they employ are talented and virtuous people, and many of them are second generations.Although these people have ambitions, they like leisure and hate work. If they become arrogant, Cao Weizheng does not know where it will go.
