Chapter 965 : Chapter Four hundred and seventy-eight A sharp hit (1)
Chapter 478: Blood with a single blow
It was not without reason that Liu Feng wanted to recruit Li Yan. There were two people in history who valued Li Yan's ability. One was Zhuge Liang. [Source of this book www.
In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is written that Liu Bei trusted Zhuge Liang, but that is a romance, and the reality is very cruel.
Liu Bei did not trust Zhuge Liang. There are various signs in the Three Kingdoms that Liu Bei did not trust Zhuge Liang. But when Liu Bei was about to die, there was no one more capable than Zhuge Liang in the entire Shu country. Therefore, Liu Bei had no choice but to attack Zhuge Liang.
Tuogu.[
But Liu Bei didn't put his eggs in one basket. He chose someone who could compete with Zhuge Liang, and that was Li Yan.
After Liu Bei's death, the army of Shu was divided into two. On the one hand, Zhuge Liang became the prime minister and commanded the troops in Shu. On the other hand, Li Yan controlled one-third of the army of Shu and was stationed in Jiangzhou.
This is Liu Bei's check and balance strategy.
The subsequent development of the Shu Kingdom also followed Liu Bei's expectations. Li Yan tried his best to hold Zhuge Liang back, and in the end Li Yan was ruined.
How much of this is loyalty and how much is selfishness, no one can tell.
Let's not talk about the latter. Li Yan can be valued by both Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei at the same time, and his ability is definitely not bad. If Li Yan concentrates on leading troops in battle instead of engaging in politics, and confronts Zhuge Liang, a behemoth like in history, in the end
His reputation was ruined.
Maybe he will become a famous general.
This is Liu Feng's evaluation of Li Yan. He makes his own judgment based on the records of the Three Kingdoms. As for whether Li Yan is loyal or not, it's hard to say.
I guess he is an ordinary person. When a famous general chooses a king, it is impossible to be die-hard loyal. But in the world, there are generally people like this. Liu Feng cannot be too demanding.
In comparison, Li Yan's ability was not outstanding. Therefore, Liu Feng started thinking about winning over Li Yan.
Liu Feng was calculating in his mind, and Li Yan was also surprised. He had heard rumors when he was in Chengdu. This time, in Hanzhong, Liu Feng was the one who really made the decision.
Li Yan believed that Liu Feng was not simple, but he did not believe that Liu Feng had the ability to control Wenpin and Wang Wei. But seeing Liu Feng sitting on the main seat so calmly, the outcome was obvious.
Wenpin and Wang Wei were really controlled by Liu Feng.
Wenpin and Wang Wei were heroes among men and tigers among generals. Being able to climb over them was not just something that could be achieved by being Lu Su's nephew.
Involuntarily, Li Yan completely put away his contempt and began to look squarely at Liu Feng.
Soon, Liu Feng withdrew his gaze, smiled slightly, and said: "My uncle is a dead official of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Yizhou is a clan member. There is no conflict between the two parties. It's just that there was a little misunderstanding ahead, which caused some friction between the two parties. Dare you
Ask the general, I wonder what Liu Yizhou thinks?"
What Liu Feng said was very appropriate, and he did not make a fuss about who struck first. Yes, it was Gao Pei who struck first, and Liu Feng counterattacked in self-defense.
But after all, Gao Pei was killed, and Liu Zhang's face was definitely not good. So, he just said it was a misunderstanding. This was not Liu Feng's important means, his important means was the position of Liu Zhang and Lu Su.
Liu Zhang was a member of the clan, and his political stance seemed innocent to outsiders. However, Lu Su was at war with Cao Cao, a Han traitor, and his stance could be regarded as a loyal minister.[
Although this is nothing in the face of real interests, it does matter at least. Liu Feng used this opening statement to show that he was not aggressive.
