However, Sun Ce still decided to give up the succession of father and son, and chose his own brother Sun Quan to successfully keep the inheritance of Sun Shi. It is because Sun Quan has the talent that Sun Ce thinks is inferior, and he employs talents and tries his best to protect Jiangdong. I'm not as good as Qing.
It is Sun Quan's housekeeping skill to know people and use their talents to the best of their abilities, and it is also his reliance on defending Jiangdong.
But he sneered at a personnel arrangement of Cao Wei and laughed again and again. The two people who were ridiculed were not unknown people. One of them once made the ravaged Eastern Han Dynasty never turn over after a few words. He is recognized by later generations as "the first poison in the Three Kingdoms", Jia Xu. Moreover, Cao Pi, the founding king of Cao Wei, was not spared.
The main reason for Sun Quan's ridicule is that Cao Pi made Jia Xu Qiu after usurping the Han Dynasty.
Qiu, later changed to fu. Due to excessive power, Emperor Gaozu was dismissed from office several times to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The Eastern Han Dynasty was also so repeated, so it can be seen that the authorities also love and hate this chief officer in charge of the national military, and it is difficult to choose.
When Cao Pi established the State of Wei and re-established Qiu, his position had already surpassed that of the other two officials (prime minister and censor Situ He). Xelloss appointed Jia Xu as Qiu, which proved that Xelloss really valued Jia Xu.
The reason why Sun Quan doesn't like Cao Pi and Jia Xu is that they have problems.
First, personality
Jia Xu is from Wuwei. He became famous very early and was promoted to filial piety. There was no amazing performance during the official period, which was very mediocre.
After a while, due to the death of his mother, Jia Xu resigned and went home.
Also on the road, Jia Xu met a group of German rebels, and Jia Xu and dozens of colleagues were kidnapped.
At this time, although the Miao people could not dominate the situation in Xiliang, they often rebelled with the Qiang people. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huangfugui, Duan Qirui and Zhang Huan were often ordered to counter the rebellion. However, these three people focus on different routes. Huang and Zhang Qian are mostly pacified and suppressed in parallel, and they are famous for their honesty and integrity in the Western Regions. Duan Qirui used violence to control violence, emphasizing weeding out the roots to avoid future trouble.
In order not to be hurt by the Yi rebels, Jia Xu repeatedly claimed that he was the grandson of Duan Qirui, which made the Yi people not only dare not hurt Jia Xu, but respectfully let him go.
As for those who went with him, none escaped and all died. This experience has made Jia Xu's character unique.
Later, Jia Xu took the initiative to dedicate himself to Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo was jointly designed by Lu Bu and Wang Yun, Li Jue, Guo Si and others of Dong Zhuo listened to Jia Xu's plan, jointly captured Chang 'an, killed Wang Yun, expelled Lu Bu, and hijacked Liu Xie, the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, making the Eastern Han Dynasty unable to manage the place. In addition, the yellow turban insurrectionary army still has the residual strength to survive, and the counties either stand on their own feet or annex each other. Since then, the world has been in chaos.
Then Jia Xu went to Duan Wei, Zhang Xiu and other places. One after another, there is no kind person, either a warlord on one side of the separatist regime or a small warlord surrounded by many big warlords, who has become a grass in the street, with only one way of life and self-interest as the center. This practice has been going on, almost benefiting Zhang Xiu who rebuilt Jia Xu. Now Cao Pi blames Zhang Xiu for killing his younger brother Cao Ang, and he doesn't see Jia Xu interceding for his old master.
Jia Xu was Qiu in the first year (AD 220). At this time, he was 74 years old. Three years later, he died in June of the fourth year in Huang Chu. When Cao Cao was alive, Jia Xu's position remained unchanged. Only in the ninth year of Jian 'an (AD 204), that is, five years after Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao, did he pass the exam of Doctor Taizhong, mainly exercising the function of counselor. He did not work in Cao Cao's feudal state of Wei.
The post of doctor Taizhong was not removed until after Cao Pi ascended the throne, and Cao Cao was idle for more than ten years. This is inconsistent with Cao Cao's style of appointing people on their merits and not taking others' past and character as preferences.
Jia Xu's view is that he is not a veteran of Mao, but he is resourceful and not afraid of suspicion.
In fact, Jia Xu's experience is related to his personality. Throughout Cao Cao's counselors, such as Yu Xun, Xun You, an uncle, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and others, they all have the same personality. Although Jia Xu was consulted by Cao Cao for many times, he did not see Cao Cao's great use.
Cao Cao's successor, Cao Pi, did the opposite, and appointed Jia Xu as Qiu as soon as he succeeded to the throne. This invisibly exposed Cao Pi's true character. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Sun Quan, who has always advertised himself as a wise monarch, will of course laugh at Cao Pi and Jia Xu.
Second, the theory of national subjugation
I have never seen Sun Quan's attributive about Cao Wei in history books. Even if there is, it is a guess. However, this speculation does have a certain basis.
Cao Cao pacified the north mainly by the joint efforts of military commanders and civil servants. According to the location, most of the military commanders are from Cao Cao's family and belong to Qiaopei Group. Most civil servants and counselors come from Ruying Group.
Jia Xu's origin, as mentioned above, comes from Wuwei, also known as Xiliang.
During the Han Dynasty, Xiliang produced a bunch of military commanders who were good at fighting, not advisers, mainly because they were at war with the Qiang and Xiongnu before, and almost every generation of emperors in the Han Dynasty had to spend a lot of energy to deal with them.
Jia Xu, on the other hand, has become an alternative among them, and his early experience must be quite strange even before he became an official. According to the research of historians in the Tang Dynasty, Jia Xu's ancestor was Jia Yi, a famous minister in the Western Han Dynasty. Considering the family and environment, Jia Xu is even more peculiar. He may even be both civil and military.
However, it is such a talent who has fallen into a dilemma after entering Cao Cao's camp.
Should he rely on the military attache or join the civil service to ensure his own interests?
In fact, Jia Xu did not specify which side to join. When Cao Cao was alive, he adopted Sean's approach, changed his aggressive strategic vision and gave up his ability to gain insight into human nature. Close the door and guard yourself, retreat from selfless friendship, marry men and women, don't tie the door.
Only when Xelloss needed some strategies to increase his chances of becoming a prince, Jia Xu gave some suggestions.
One is that Yang Xiu reported Cao Pi's adultery.
The other is that Cao Pi asked how to stabilize the existing position.
In the end, Cao Pi listened to Jia Xu's suggestion, wishing the general to restore his respect for morality, bow to the scholar's cause, and work day and night without violating the moral principles. Got the position of prince.
Cao Pi's suggestion is in line with Ruying Group's preference, so it has won some support, including Xun You, Zhong You and Chen Qun.
From another point of view, the essence of Cao Pi is not to consult Jia Xu, but more like forcing Jia Xu to show his true attitude.
After the death of Xun, Xun You, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, who was originally a centrist and had extraordinary ingenuity, virtually became a veteran of Cao Cao's camp. In addition, Cao Pi was extremely suspicious of Cao Zhi and other royal families supported by Qiao Pei Group, threatened his throne with force and suppressed it many times. Jia Xu, who is slightly biased towards civil servants, is even better in this situation.
This obviously released a signal that the internal struggle of Cao Wei was dominated by civil servants, not imperial generals, and the power was marginalized, so there were signs of national subjugation.
In a word, Jia Xu is not reused, which shows Cao Cao's line of governing the country by force, while Cao Pi's reuse of Jia Xu shows Cao Pi's goal of governing the country in the future.
Most importantly, Jia Xu's strategy of reunifying the whole country is naturally a happy event for Sun Quan, but relatively negative for Cao Cao and Cao Pi. Jia Xu successively persuaded Cao Cao and Cao Pi not to conquer Sun Quan of Soochow by force, but to save energy, enhance national strength, and then convince people with virtue.
However, if Jia Xu itself is taken into consideration, Jia Xu's previous self-centered concept has been crushed by reality and started to change. But under the opposition of Cao Cao and Cao Pi, it collapsed again. To make matters worse, God's time for Jia Xu is running out.
