The warlords of the Three Kingdoms are not all Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu, they just behave differently because of their different personalities.

For example, the warlords in the Three Kingdoms can be roughly divided into several types: the first type is ambitious, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce; the second type is rebellious bastards, such as Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu. Although ambitious, his abilities are too poor and his personality is too bad. Of course, they are not qualified to compare with Cao Sunliu.

In addition to the above two, there is another kind of small wealth that is safe. They do not participate in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains. They just want to keep one side safe and wealthy forever. This warlord's character is very popular? Yes, you can even describe it as "gentle". For example, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, and Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhou, are representatives of this type.

Among the dozens of warlords in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Biao is the most special one. The reason why I say this is not that Liu Biao can ascend to the sky, pick the moon from the sky, or catch turtles from the sea, but that Liu Biao is born to be a true scholar.

There were many warlords in Stone Forest at that time. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were born in Yuanshi County, Runan. They were first-class Qing palaces in 2000, but they were not scholars in the strict sense. At the end of the Han Dynasty, during the "party struggle" initiated by the eunuch group, Liu Biao's name appeared on the blacklist of scholars who were being hunted across the country.

We all know that Liu Bei has been carrying him? The golden sign "Great men honor the great-grandson of the emperor" is sponsored by horse racing. In fact, Liu Biao was also the "great-grandson" of a great man who respected the emperor. Liu Yu, the ancestor of Liu Biao, Liu Sheng, the ancestor of Liu Bei, and Wang Jing of Sun Yat-sen were all sons of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and Liu Qi.

Liu Biao and Liu Bei are very similar in every aspect. They are distant relatives of the clan and have all studied contemporary Confucianism. Liu Bei's master was Lu Zhi, the governor of Jiujiang, and Liu Biao's master was Wang Chang, the governor of Nanyang. The main difference between the two people is their personalities. Liu Bei has a bold and heroic personality, while Liu Biao is a standard Confucian scholar, gentle and honest. He was born a scholar-official.

The style of lecturing prevailed in the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty. The world was full of soldiers, and Liu Biao was lucky enough to squeeze in.

Chen Shou said that Liu Biao was one of the "Eight Duchess" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhang Qian said it was the "Eight Crossings" in the "Han Ji", and Fan Ye said it was the "Eight Crossings" in the "Book of the Later Han". "Eight Cares", Zhang Qian said is the "Eight Harmonies" in "Book of the Later Han".

Among Liu Biao’s friends, fellow countryman Zhang Jian is undoubtedly the most famous, and can be said to be the image representative of young scholars. The young and strong Liu Biao followed these fellows to "slander the government" and used public opinion to attack the eunuchs.

The eunuch became angry and launched a counterattack against the scholars. This is the famous "Party Curse". open? Desperate to the extreme, he knocked on the door and asked for help. As the saying goes, "Don't forget Zhang Jian when you look at the door." Liu is also very lucky. He was born with rabbit legs. He escaped this disaster in 7788.

It was not until the second year of Guanghe that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty made some concessions to the party struggle, but it did not completely cancel it. Five years later, in the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, and the imperial court officially lifted the ban on scholars from participating in party struggles. At this time, Liu Biao ended his escape career and once again bathed in the bright sunshine.

Due to Liu Biao's prominent reputation in academia, he quickly found a good job. Why did he join the general's work and enter the core fringe of power that played a vital role in Liu Biao's future development? action. The general was only a minor player in terms of his position, but after all, being at the emperor's feet would help enhance his image. As the saying goes, first comes first.

After the Yellow Turban Incident, warlords fought in a melee. In the first year of Chuping, Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, killed Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and the position of governor of Jingzhou disappeared. I don’t know me

Although Jingzhou is a place with fertile land and a prosperous population in the world, due to the spread of the war in the Central Plains, Jingzhou has also fallen into chaos and division. Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang, the Su Dynasty occupied Changsha, Hu Zhang occupied Jiangxia, Chen Sheng occupied Xiangyang, Liu Bei occupied Huarong Road, and countless clan armed forces were scattered on the land of Jingzhou. The situation is very confusing.

Since Liu Biao came to the forefront of politics, his behavior was not as indecisive as later, much like the early Yuan Shao. Liu shows that he knows people well and makes good use of them. He followed the advice of Kuai Yue and others, governed the country with benevolence and righteousness, and appeased the people. At the same time, with a little skill, several influential armed forces of the "clan thieves" were lured and killed, which greatly reduced the public security pressure faced by Jingzhou.

Of course, the area of ??Jingzhou that Liu Biao could control at this time was not large, and there were not many large counties around Liu Biao. Liu's watch is not simple. In our modern terms, he worked hard on his writing and martial arts. Liu sent Kuai Yue and others to persuade Chen Sheng in Jiangxia and Xiangyang. I don't know what Kuaiyue said. In any case, Hu Zhang and others were incorporated into the regular army. With Wu's help, Liu Biao conquered Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang in the south of the Yangtze River by force. Except for Nanyang, which was controlled by Zhang Xiu, basically all the counties in Jingzhou fell into Liu Biao's pocket.

By controlling Jingzhou, Liu Biao became a powerful warlord at the time. Historically, Liu "connected to the south and Hanchuan to the north, thousands of miles away, and had more than 100,000 armors." With such strong capital, Liu Biao was fully qualified to dominate the world in the Central Plains.

However, Liu Biao himself did not have that big ambition. He can keep Jingzhou's big industry, even in his previous life. After Liu Biao took charge of Jingzhou, he implemented a development strategy of isolation from the country.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought for the Central Plains, but the battle was unsuccessful. Liu Biao was selfless and would not offend anyone.

To develop the domestic economy, the main direction is education. Liu Biao was a scholar-type scholar who was naturally keen on popularizing culture.

Liu’s external treatment is not enough, but internal treatment is more than enough. He ruled Jingzhou for more than 20 years, and Jingzhou became a rare place to live and work in peace and contentment. Many wise men came to Jingzhou to take refuge. To some extent, Jingzhou is the center of Chinese scholars. Regardless of others, Zhuge Liang has been farming in Jingzhou for more than ten years. Without Liu Biao's concern, Zhuge Liang would have run away long ago.

In general, Liu Biao lived a mediocre life with no special highlights. From a historical perspective, there are three very important things in Liu Biao's life that are worth mentioning and have been deeply affected? The historical trend of the Three Kingdoms.

First, the death of Sun Jian. Sun Jian was ordered by Yuan Shu to attack Liu Biao, causing chaos in Liu Biao's territory. Later, when Sun Jian besieged Xiangyang, he was shot dead by Liu Biao's general Huang Zu's men.

Although Sun Jian was not killed by Liu Biao himself, Sun Jian's sons Sun Ce and Sun Quan wrote about the murder of their father. Of course, Sun Quan was looking for an excuse to annex Jingzhou. However, from Wu Dong's heart, "avenging his father" is a legitimate reason to unite people's hearts. Sun Jian's death was equivalent to indirectly helping Sun Quan's "Jingzhou No. 1" strategy.

The second thing is to take in Liu Bei. After Liu Bei fled Yuan Shao, he was homeless. Liu Bei thought of his cousin Liu Biao. On the one hand, Liu Biao was out of sympathy, but on the other hand? Relying on Liu Bei's strength to defend Cao Cao, he warmly welcomed Liu Bei to Jingzhou and treated him like a brother.

Liu Biao's acceptance of Liu Bei directly affected Liu Bei's victory in the Battle of Chibi, and used it as a springboard to occupy Yizhou, forming a situation in which the Three Kingdoms stood in opposition. Of course, another important point is that Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang, the first person in history, in Jingzhou. This was also the most touching scene in the history of the Three Kingdoms: three visits.

The third thing is a waste of time, building ordinary ones. Liu Biao had two sons: the eldest son Liu Qi and the second son Liu Cong. Liu Biao didn't like his eldest son, but he doted on his second son Liu Cong because he looked like him.

Liu Qi, whom the Liu faction disliked, went to Jiangxia to replace Huang Zu, who died in battle, as the prefect. In fact, he canceled Liu Qi's status as "Mu Jingzhou" and chose Liu Cong instead. Liu Biao's move had a very obvious consequence. Wang Can, Kuai Yue, Han Song, Fu Xun and other celebrities who were close to Cao Qian's family gathered under Liu Cong's tent and made great contributions to Liu Cong's surrender.

It can be said that Liu Biao's world was destroyed by these capitulationists. Zhang Zhao and Cheng Bing of Jiangdong must be envious of Wang Can, but Sun Quan is not Liu Cong, and Zhou Yu and Lu Su are not Cai Mao and Zhang_. Zhang Zhao and others were really "but before he conquered, he was already dead, and the hero cried."

Liu Biao was just a passerby in the history of the Three Kingdoms, so what? Shao is very similar, so Yuan Shao and Liu Biao were included in the biographies of "Three Kingdoms" and "Three Kingdoms". Liu Biao and Yuan Shao have many similarities, such as:

First of all, they were cleaning up the society at that time and gathered many celebrities from Hebei and Jingzhou.

Second, they are China's top warlords with powerful military power.

Third, the character also has the same flaw, that is, "elegant on the outside but suspicious on the inside." You can mobilize people, but you can't recruit them.

Fourth, they are indecisive. They all had the opportunity to attack Cao Cao, but failed to do so even once. Cao Cao was lucky and escaped two major robberies.

5. Cao Cao’s strategic mistake in annexing Hebei and Jingzhou caused artificial divisions within the ruling group. It works great.

To talk about the difference between the two, Yuan Shao may be more ambitious than Liu Biao to dominate the country in midsummer. Liu Biao's ambitions were not as great as Yuan Shao's. In Su Che's words, "Ran Yan is self-disciplined and has nothing to do with others." Not pursuing success? Just don’t think about anything.

Although the cards in Liu Biao's hand are not as beautiful as Cao Cao's, he is full of talents. He has a large territory and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command. Even though Cao Cao annexed Yuan Shao, he also moved south on a large scale. If Liu Biao had not died early, he might not have been able to take advantage of this.

The key to the subsequent fall of Jingzhou was not that Liu Biao lost popular support before his death, but that there was a group of powerful pro-Cao forces living in Jingzhou, as mentioned earlier. In addition to Wang, Kuai, Han, and Fu, there are also He Xia, Deng, Pei Qian, Sima Zhi, and Liu Ba, who all have an inexplicable affection for Cao Cao.

The reason why these celebrities are so eager to defect to Cao Cao and repeatedly persuade Liu Biao to abandon Cao Cao is definitely not Cao Cao's personality charm. Not afraid of Cao Cao's powerful military power. They all have a small account in their hearts. Cao Cao went south, and Jingzhou soldiers were killed by Cao Cao's sword. Whether they win or lose, their fate is bound to be affected. If Cao Cao wins and takes out his anger on them, his life will be over.

For this reason, of course they will try their best to curry favor with Cao Cao. As for the life and death of Liu Biao and Liu Cong, they didn't care at all. Especially Han Song, who came back from Cao Cao and was a special envoy from the capitals of many countries, praised Cao Cao to the sky, angered Liu Biao, and was almost beaten to death by Liu Biao.

When Liu Biao died, these people gathered around young Liu Cong and told him how powerful Cao Cao was and how weak we were. We'd better not do something stupid like hitting an egg against a stone. This consideration also applies to Cai Mao and Zhang_. What is their status in the military? people, but not including Wenpin who was loyal to Liu Biao.

After Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, all the civil and military officials in the state came to pay homage to Cao Cao, but none of them participated. Later, Cao Cao met Wenpin and blamed Wenpin for not falling earlier. Wenpin cried bitterly: "On the first day, Liu Jingzhou could not serve the country.

Although there is no Jingzhou, we are always willing to guard Hanchuan and preserve the water and soil. Life cannot bear loneliness and weakness, death should go underground, but this is the last resort. I'm so sad, I don't have the face to look into my ears. "Wenpin's true confession moved Cao Cao to death. He said: "You are such a loyal minister! ”

Liu Biao ruled Jingzhou for 20 years. When his property was overthrown, there was only one loyal minister, Wenpin, who remained a soldier. I really don’t know if this is Liu Biao’s luck or Liu Biao’s sorrow .

Finished? Liu Biao, let’s talk about Liu Zhang. To talk about Liu Zhang, we have to talk about Liu Zhang’s father, Ada. His father's efforts and Liu Zhang's ability made him a warlord.

Like Liu Biao, Ada is a descendant of Liu Yu, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. After ten generations of reproduction, the Han Dynasty had more than ten million descendants. Therefore, if you wanted to succeed in the Eastern Han Dynasty when "literary nobles" were becoming more and more popular, you could not use the name of the clan.

But Ada's situation is better than Liu Bei's. Ada's ancestors should have done well in officialdom in recent generations, so Ada's political starting point is not low. State, worshiping Lang with his clan." This shows that Ada entered the officialdom very early.

Ada is an ambitious man, similar to Liu Bei. It turns out that Ada was involved in the officialdom and served as the governor of Jizhou successively. , Prefect Wan, Wan Yanzheng, Taicang and other front-line positions. But Ada seemed to want to go to a place where the emperor and I could not control the hegemony, because Ada keenly felt that the Central Plains would be in chaos.

Ada's original intention was. Working as a herdsman in today's Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiaozhou in northern Vietnam was basically within the radiation range of the political center of the Eastern Han Dynasty, far away from right and wrong. However, because of a word from an old friend and minister Dong Fu, he looked at the sky in Yizhou at night. Surrounded by the emperor. I don’t know what Dongfu’s correct attitude is. Because Dongfu is from Shu, it may be a bit exaggerated.

Listen, Emperor Ada’s dream filled his mind. After listening to Dong's words, Ada changed his mind temporarily. He was sent to Yizhou by the imperial court, where he became a priest and worshiped the Duke of Yangcheng. The foundation was laid.

Yizhou, now Sichuan, is known as the land of abundance, with outstanding people and rich products. Moreover, the terrain here is very dangerous, and there will always be separatist forces in Ada. Political brush. Since he took office in Yizhou, he has worked hard to stabilize the chaos in Yizhou.

But the purpose of hard work is of course not to serve the court, but to make a fortune. After succeeding, he immediately revealed the fox's tail and created his own emperor to take advantage of it. Ada enjoyed everything an emperor could enjoy, except that he did not publicly call himself emperor.

Although this "moderate warlord" is talking about Ada, Ada is not a "moderate" at all, but a very powerful warlord with some magical ideas. When Liu Yan first arrived in Yizhou, he was afraid that the Yizhou powerful people would not obey his rule, so he found some random excuses and killed more than a dozen Yizhou powerful people.

Through military crackdown, Ada has firmly controlled its profits. In troubled times, we must not pursue "benevolence" blindly. For example, Liu Bei, the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom. Only by taking both civil and military measures to reward and punish them can we achieve great results. If Liu Bei could only shed tears, he would definitely be punished by Cao Cao.

Mabianyan was a quite powerful warlord in the early period of the Three Kingdoms, and he also had strong management capabilities. Under his rule, Yizhou became a rare paradise in troubled times. Only stability can develop. This is an eternal truth.

However, Ada died early, in the first year of Xingping. There are two reasons for Ada's death. First, his two sons Liu Fan and Liu Xian joined forces with the Xiliang warlord Ma Tengmou to kill the gangster Li Jue; second, a catastrophe occurred in Mianzhu and many properties in Ada were burned down. This time, Ada's spirit was greatly stimulated, so she hung up the phone.

Liu Yan has four sons: Liu Fan, Liu Xian, Liu Xie and Liu Zhang. One of Liu Xie and Liu Zhang will become the next Yizhou Shepherd. I don't know Liu Xie's personal style, but judging from the sentence "Captain Zhao Yun and others are greedy for Zhang Wenren, Zhang is the governor of Yizhou", Liu Xie should be a prick, at least not more docile than his brother Liu Zhang. No one in the realm of power likes Tatars. They all like Liu Zhang.

It would be an exaggeration to say that Liu Zhang was the most moderate warlord in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Liu Zhang's character is gentler than Liu Biao's. Liu Zhang is a typical good old man. Although his skills are average, his character is very good. Speaking of the most "benevolent" in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Zhang is more qualified than Liu Bei. Liu Bei is by no means ordinary hypocritical and cunning, but the bones of the famous old PL

Personally, I think Liu Zhang is almost perfect. Who doesn't like to associate with honest people? But if you look at it from the perspective of troubled times, there are too many shortcomings. To do great things in troubled times, you must first have the means. In an era when the barrel of a gun determines the direction of historical development, "benevolence" is just a beautiful embellishment, whether it is good or not is not important.

The contrast between Liu's two contradictory characters and Zhang's character is quite good: Zhang's character is gentle and bold, but neither arrogant nor impetuous. Everyone has a different nature, which is to "bully the weak and fear the strong". Especially at the level of social management, the ruler's weak character will inevitably lead to the laxity of the rule of law. When the law loses its deterrent effect, it is a precursor to social chaos.

Liu Zhang has a cowardly character and it is difficult to control people with ideas. The first person to cause trouble was Liu Zhang's "benefactor" Zhao Wei. Zhang trusted Zhao Yun very much and handed over power to Zhao Yun after taking office. No one thinks that Zhao Wei has such a big appetite that she wants to kick Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang was lucky and with the help of Eastern Zhou soldiers, he destroyed Zhao Wei.

Zhang Lu and Zhang Lu are another unworldly figure after Zhao Wei, that is, the "rice thief", who is actually one of the important branches of Taoism. Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang have a close relationship. Zhang Lu's mother is very beautiful. Where is Liu? Zhang's mother often went there and they may have had an affair.

As for Zhang, he made Zhang Lu a Sima, and sent Zhang Lu and Hanzhong. Hanzhong has been a gate of separation since ancient times. Later, Shu Han was able to compete with Cao Wei for 50 years because it controlled Hanzhong. Zhang Lu is ambitious. After capturing Hanzhong, he killed Zhang Xiu and took control of Hanzhong.

Liu Zhang had been grazing cattle in Yizhou for twenty years and did two major things. The first is to open the door for Liu Bei to enter Shu. Second, the relationship between Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu. Although Liu Zhang did not solve the hero problem, it led to a military confrontation between Hanzhong and Yizhou for nearly 30 years. In the end, Liu Bei seized the opportunity to enter Sichuan in the name of protecting Zhang Lu, and finally formed a situation of three kingdoms?

After Zhang Lu occupied Hanzhong, he began to break away from the administrative control of Yizhou. In a rage, Liu killed Zhang Lu's coquettish mother and younger brother, completely falling out with him. In fact, Liu Zhang had absolutely no need to kill the hostages. If Liu Gao and Qiao Ni are under his control, they can become an effective weapon to contain Zhang Lu's feelings. When Liu Zhang killed the hostages, he had no trump card against Zhang Lu. Why did Cao Wei always want Sun Quan to provide hostages, that is, to control the hostages to suppress Sun Quan's feelings and weaken his threat?

Of course, Liu Zhang's biggest mistake was that he did not fall out with Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu's power was not enough to shake Liu Zhang's dominance in Yizhou. What really pulled Liu Zhang off the stage of history was when he invited Liu Bei to lead troops into Shu and defend Zhang Lu for him.

Good morning. After Liu Bei took good care of himself, Zhuge Liang formulated the development strategy of "crossing the river for righteousness" for Liu Bei. In Liu Bei's strategic plan, Yizhou must be captured. But Liu Bei couldn't find a suitable excuse to enter Sichuan. If Liu Bei had defeated Liu Zhang by force from the beginning, I am afraid that his strength would not have been able to support Liu Bei in completing his great cause of seizing Shu.

The most convenient and quickest way to get to Shu is to get an invitation from Liu Zhang, enter the hinterland of Shu, and then use a camera to take pictures of Chengdu. Liu Bei has been going downhill for most of his life, and it's time to change boats. Yizhou drove Zhang Song to meet Cao Cao in person. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao spoke highly of Zhang Song. In a rage, Zhang Song secretly sold Yizhou to Liu Bei.

Under Zhang Song's persuasion, Liu Zhang agreed to invite Liu Bei to Sichuan to take on the task of defending Zhang Lu. On the issue of whether to meet Liu Bei? There was a heated debate among the middle and high-level officials in Yizhou. Zhang Song, Fazheng and Mengda all think they are useless. Xuande invited in. They believed that if Liu Bei could succeed Liu Zhang, they would have a chance to display their talents.

However, Huang Quan, Liu Ba, Wang Lei and others firmly opposed it, and the reasons for Huang Quan's opposition were very representative. Huang Quan believed that Liu Bei was a powerful man and a prince in the world. After entering Shu, Liu Bei would definitely be dissatisfied if he was polite to his subordinates; if you treat others well

After Liu Bei entered Shu, he wanted to capture Yizhou. Later, although Liu Zhang discovered that Zhang Song was having an affair with Liu Bei, he killed Zhang Song and used force against Liu? But it's too late. Liu Bei's Jingzhou Army moved south from Guanzhou, and Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and other large armies marched into Shu. Liu Bei has taken off his disguise and made it clear that he wants to occupy the magpie's nest.

Although Liu Zhang is "weak", objectively speaking, Liu Zhang is still a loyal and upright person. Yizhou persuaded Liu Zhang to burn hay east of Fushui in Du Zheng and move the people to the west of Fushui. When Jingzhou's rations ran out, he counterattacked and captured Liu Bei alive.

Liu Zhang couldn't bear to see the people suffer for his benefit, so he rejected Du Zheng's vicious plan. The news reached Liu Bei's ears, and Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. If Liu Zhang listened to Du Zheng's words, Liu Bei's great cause of seizing Shu would be completed.

Liu Zhang is not an idiot, is he? But he knew that if the battle started, the final victory would basically belong to him, but Liu Zhang just couldn't convince him to put his own interests above the civilians, which was very rare. Zhang's "benevolence" is not a momentary impulse, but a reflection of a person's positioning after the formation of his character.

Later Liu Bei's army surrounded Chengdu. At this time, Liu Zhang had 30,000 troops, enough money to last for a year. Because his father Ada is from Shilin and Liu Zhang is a "moderate", all walks of life in Yizhou support Liu Zhang. People from all walks of life prayed for Liu Zhang and were willing to die for Liu Zhang and Liu Bei. It can be seen that Liu Zhang is very popular in Yizhou.

Maybe Liu Zhang was tired of the war that lasted for more than a year, or maybe he was worried that once Liu Bei was defeated in a decisive battle, the people would face a bigger war? Wound. Liu Zhang said a very touching words: "Father and son have been in the country for more than 20 years, but they have been unkind to the people. They have been fighting for three years. Anyone who surrenders to Caoye will feel embarrassed, so why is it safe?" Finally, he decided Surrendered to Liu Bei, thus avoiding greater disaster in Shu.

Before Liu Zhang surrendered, Xu Jing, the governor of Shu County, did not want to accompany Liu Zhang to death, but wanted to surrender to Liu Bei. As a result, he was arrested. Balkang's move was a typical mutiny and he could not kill too many people. But on the one hand, Liu Zhang sympathized with Xu Jing's old age, and on the other hand, he was in short supply, so why bother Lao Xu? A soft, redundant balcony.

In the end, Liu Bei unexpectedly won the occupation. To a certain extent, Liu Zhang made a considerable contribution.

If Liu Zhang decides to fight Liu Bei to the end, even if Liu Bei finally wins, it will be a terrible victory. The riding whip comes first, and core figures like Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei should be thrown away. Liu Bei really did more harm than good.

With Liu Zhang’s character, it is difficult for him to become a qualified leader. Even if Liu Bei didn't take the money, Cao Cao would still make it in the future. But Liu Zhang's character is very simple. At least he could blame himself for the war trauma suffered by Yizhou people. His love for his people cannot be expressed in words.

Because of Liu Zhang's generosity, when Liu Zhang surrendered by car accompanied by Jian Yong, the officials and people of Yizhou cried bitterly. The scene was very touching. From a management perspective, Liu Zhang managed Yizhou in a mess, but from a human perspective, Liu Zhang was very popular, which was extremely rare among warlords of all sizes during the Three Kingdoms period.

After Liu Zhang left, Liu Bei let Liu go? Settled in Jingzhou and became a carefree rich man. Later, Sun Quan successfully captured Jingzhou. In order to deny Liu Bei's political status, Sun Quan was carried out of Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang became the nominal shepherd of Yizhou. A few years later, Liu Zhang died young.

Speaking of the moderate warlords in the Three Kingdoms, the first thing we can think of is basically the harmony in Jingzhou. In fact, in the historical background of the war between heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to Liu Er, there was also a moderate warlord. This person's historical reputation is far less than 26, but his "gentleness index" is not lower than 26. He is Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhou.

Although Shi Xie was born and raised in Jiaozhou, his ancestors were Lu and Confucius. Later, Wang Mang abandoned the Han Dynasty and built a new capital, and his ancestor Shi Xie took refuge. Arrive in Jiaozhou. I don't know if the ancestors of these literati were all literati, but Shi Xie himself was polite and thirsty for knowledge. His best work is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He is a famous upright official in southern China.

Xiucai was a son of a wealthy family in Jiaozhou and had a wide network of contacts in Jiaozhou official circles. After the Shi Xie brothers entered the officialdom, they basically controlled the political situation in Jiaozhou. Shi Xie was the prefect of Jiaozhi, his younger brother Shi Yi was the prefect of Hepu, Shi was the prefect of Jiuzhen, and he was the prefect of Nanhai.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the administrative district of Jiaozhou was divided into seven counties except Cangwu, Yulin and Jiuzhen. Among them, the literati brothers actually controlled four counties and were very powerful. Known as "Brother Xie Yujun" in history? Longzhou, thousands of miles away, has the highest prestige."

The literati are very good at enjoying life. Every time they go out, they say they want to pay tribute, beating gongs, drums, playing music, hundreds of guards, and a car full. The two brothers rode a high horse in front, while their wives and concubines drove away. The scene was very funny.

But I think all scholars and brothers are like this. "Successful little people" are unfair. What is the specific situation of Shi Xie's brothers? There is no clear history, but Shi Xie is a real scholar who dares to take notes in "The Biography of Liu Zhang in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty". ?

Huiyuan, a famous scholar from the Central Plains who took refuge in Jiaozhou at that time, wrote to Xun_, Cao Cao's top think tank, praising Shi Xie as "erudite and capable of governing, both ancient and modern". However, Huiyuan was eating on Shixie's territory, but if Shixie was really genuine, Huiyuan wouldn't need Bashixie, and Huiyuan was also a person of status.

Shi Xie was a first-rate man and scholar, but his biggest regret was that he was born in troubled times instead of living in a remote city. If he had been born during the Chengping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he would have studied long ago and handed over his social status to celebrities, so he would not have to take any political risks.

But people cannot choose the time of birth, but fortunately Shi Xie is very flexible. To put it bluntly, it is two-way and flexible. It's easy to pretend to be a grandson, but not so easy to do.

Due to geographical reasons, Shi Xie came to power in the middle and late period. Liu Bei Group and Jiangdong Sun Quan Group are located on the edge of Jingzhou. At that time, Liu Bei was restricted by Sun Quan to the south bank of the Yangtze River. He had little room for development and no extra ability to use Xie Shi's ideas.

Sun Quan is different. Sun Quan had long taken a fancy to Jiaozhou and wanted to take it into consideration. In the fifteenth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan sent Poyang Governor Bu Zhi as the governor of Jiaozhou. Bu Zhi is a weak scholar, but behind him is the powerful Jiangdong regime. Shi Xie never dared to offend Sun Quan. When Bu Zhi arrived in Jiaozhou, Shi Xie paid tribute to Bu Zhi and recognized Sun Quan's sovereignty over Jiaozhou.

Shi Xie was born in the second year of Yonghe, 46 years older than Sun Quan, which is equivalent to the age difference between his grandfather and grandson. However, in the field of power, seniority cannot be judged by age. It's all about the gun. Shi Xie? Sun Quan's grandson, Sun's fart, and Shi Xie all laughed and said it smelled good.

Of course, this is not Shi Xie’s fault, but the situation dictates. If you don't want anyone else, who will pretend to be your grandson? If Fu Chai had not defeated Gou Jian, Gou Jian would not have been so "cheap" as to become Fu Chai's slave and eat shit. Most of the "grandchildren" in history were forced out by this situation.

Since Shi Xie is a member of Sun Quan's family, it is natural for him to behave well in front of his new master. Sun Quan was not a good servant. Shi Xie not only gave gifts to the country, but also often sent some seasonal dry goods to Sun Quan. He even colluded with Xiyizhou strongman Lu Yong, who changed his mind and admitted that Sun Quan was Platini. Sun Quan was very happy to hear the news. He didn't know how many times he rewarded Shi Xie.

Mapin Xie is Sun Quan's big tree, but his relationship with Sun Quan is basically a vassal relationship, not a bureaucrat in Sun Quan's direct system. According to historical records, Shi Xie never met Sun Quan and only sent envoys to contact him.

In the history of the Three Kingdoms, there was another warlord who was very similar to Shi Xie, and that was the Gongsun family in Liaodong. The Gongsun family ruled Liaodong for three generations and four people.

The three rulers Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang, and Gongsun Gong were all very respectful to the Central Plains

However, Gongsun Yuan's third generation did something rebellious. On the one hand, he proudly boasted about Cao Wei; on the other hand, he made a fuss about Sun Quan. Gongsun Yuan's style of riding on the wall finally overthrew Cao Wei. Sima Yi launched a large-scale attack on Liaodong and finally destroyed Gongsun Yuan.

What about the small one? Compared with Sun Yuan, Shi Xie knew how to advance and retreat, and always followed Sun Quan. As a man, you should learn from Shi Xie and know how much you weigh and how many pairs of shoes you wear. Shi Xie dared to ignore Sun Quan. With Jiang's huge power, Shi Xie can be easily destroyed.
