Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 502
The death of Liu Bei actually caused the biggest shock to northern Yizhou.

On his deathbed, Liu Bei left the northern part of Yizhou to Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liao Li. In fact, although Zhang Fei was superior in force and Liao Li was superior in intelligence, these two were actually just assistants because of their embarrassing status. The real Tuogu ministers are actually Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, the military one article. Among them, Zhuge Liang is the main one in internal affairs, and Guan Yu is the main one in military affairs.

Liu Bei's plan is to let these two people cooperate with each other, each perform their duties, and work together to preserve this piece of foundation in northern Yizhou.

However, the facts did not go as smoothly as Liu Bei imagined. Only two months later, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang had their first confrontation after Liu Bei's death.

The origin of this conflict is that Zhuge Liang made an exception and promoted Yang Yi to join the army as Guan Yu.

In fact, considering Zhuge Liang's current duties in charge of internal affairs, it is normal to promote an official. However, Zhuge Liang did not discuss with Guan Yu, and it was too much to directly insert Yang Yi into Guan Yu's army to join the army.

Because as we all know, Yang Yi is Zhuge Liang's confidant, and has always advocated alliance with Sun Quan to fight against Liu He. Guan Yu is not used to his impatience and narrow temperament, and now Zhuge Liang has arranged such a person to work beside him. , and still joined the army with a supervisory nature, which made Guan Yu very angry.

So when Yang Yi came to take office in the army, Guan Yu didn't accept it at all, and even Guan Yu's adopted son Guan Ping directly ordered Yang Yi, a soldier of his own, to beat him with a stick.

Yang Yi suffered such grievances, and immediately cried to Zhuge Liang, saying that Guan Ping did not beat him, but Zhuge Liang was actually beaten.

Regarding this point, Zhuge Liang is naturally well aware that this is clearly Yang Yi's instigation. In fact, Zhuge Liang appointed Yang Yi because he liked Yang Yi's talent. He is very talented in other aspects. If he uses it well, he will definitely be a good assistant to Guan Yu. Of course, on the other hand, this is also a test for Guan Yu, to see if Guan Yu can accept his arrangement for him. Now he really sees Guan Yu. He had a tough attitude and did not accept his arrangement. Although Yang Yi had been reprimanded, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

So Zhuge Liang took advantage of Guan Yu's return to Chengdu for business, and once again proposed the appointment of Yang Yi, and clearly pointed out Yang Yi's talent.

However, Guan Yu was opposed to this by everyone, saying that Yang Yi was wrong, and that Yang Yi was arrogant and narrow-minded, offending people everywhere, all the generals in the army disliked him, and he was not suitable for the army. I hope Zhuge Liang will not arrange him.

Since Guan Yu strongly opposed it, and the other party was also the minister who was arranged by Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang naturally felt inconvenient to say anything. Transfer Yang Yi to his side to do work.

After that, Zhuge Liang proposed some personnel appointments. These appointments were all civil servants, and they were sent by Zhuge Liang to various places as prefects. The prefect of Bajun, and let Guan Yu concurrently serve as the prefect of Zitong, the governor of western Sichuan, and the military governor of western Sichuan.

At the same time, he was planning to send Qin Mi to Jiangdong to make peace with Sun Quan.

"Kong Ming, you, what do you mean?" Seeing these arrangements, no matter how stupid Guan Yu was, he knew that Zhuge Liang's intention was actually to adopt a strategy of linking Jiangdong and fighting against Liu He. He couldn't help but turn pale in shock and asked road.

But Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said: "General Guan, to be honest, the reason why Liang did this is mainly to make peace with Jiangdong, and it is best to form an alliance in order to create a relatively stable environment for the development of our army. After fighting for many years, both sides are already exhausted. Although Duke Wu is Liu He's in-laws, he doesn't trust him very much. Especially now that the lord died of illness, Liu He not only did not join forces with him to attack, but instead suppressed Sun Quan and ordered him not to send troops. It has already made Sun Quan doubtful. If we form a good relationship at this time, the lord, Sun Quan will definitely let go of his past prejudices and form an alliance with us. However, the area bordering our army and Liu He's territory is only Hanzhong. Sun Quan guards the border for me. Our army only needs to garrison Baishuiguan to block Liu He's army from outside the country. In the future, if there is a chance, we may go north to the Central Plains and invade Chang'an. Even if we can't, there is still a great hope of finding an opportunity to capture Hanzhong. As long as Hanzhong is owned by our army, we can threaten Liu He's Yongliang and Chang'an areas at any time, and make him We have to divide our troops to guard..."

Guan Yu couldn't help being shocked when he heard about it. He pointed to Zhuge Liang and said, "Hey, Kong Ming, do you know what you are doing? If Qin Gong hadn't played in front of the emperor and personally suppressed Sun Quan, how could Chan'er's seat be possible?" Sit still? I’m afraid we won’t need Sun Quan’s attack at that time, and our Yizhou will fall apart. How can there be today? Now you don’t care about Qin Gong, who has been kind to us, but go to make friends with our great enemy Sun Quan, you, you What are your intentions? I know that your elder brother is an official in Jiangdong, and both of you brothers are planning to realize the union between Jiangdong and Yizhou in order to change the embarrassing situation where you are enemies with each other, but this is not because you betrayed my interests in Yizhou The reason, besides, I am attached to Duke Qin in Yizhou, in order to achieve stable internal development. This is the strategy appointed by the elder brother himself. How can you abandon it? It is really great that you dare to change the strategy of the elder brother before his bones are cold. guts!"

After all, Zhuge Liang was only a young man of 23 or [-] years old. Although he was extremely intelligent and calm, it was a bit unbearable to be criticized by Guan Yu at this time, and he said to Guan Yu: "General Guan, you must know that the main reason why the lord died of illness is the It was because he was stimulated by Liu He's canonization of Sun Quan, felt Liu He's capriciousness, and was disappointed in his future, so he died in depression. From this point of view, this Liu He is actually the mastermind who killed the lord. We want to avenge the lord , must be aimed at Liu He, Liang proposed to unite Jiangdong and fight against Liu He. The matter of uniting Jiangdong, therefore, from this point of view, Liang does not count as betraying the lord. Liang just changed the course in order to make the lord's foundation last for a long time. Pillars, drums, cymbals, don’t you know how to adapt?”
