Before he died, Liu Bei gave the relieving to Li Yan. What was the reason for this?

Liu Bei's Baidicheng entrusted orphans, among which Li Yan was given the relieving power. Many people think that it was to balance Zhuge Liang, so is this speculation true?

This question has been covered in the article a few days ago. Today, I will analyze it again. Why did Liu Bei promote Li Yan before he died?

Many people think that Liu Bei is paving the way for his son, playing balance with one hand. Let those ministers with high positions of power check and balance each other, thus giving Liu Chan a relatively safe political environment. What's more, it is even said that Zhao Yun has a secret imperial edict. If Zhuge Liang has the heart of rebellion, Zhao Yun can get rid of him on the spot at any time.

Let's think about it. Liu Bei was the king of a country after all, but before he died, where did he end up as a Shu country?

Jingzhou was lost by Guan Yu, and many places in Yizhou, large and small, rebelled. Wei and Shu were originally unwilling to wear heaven, and Shu and Wu became enemies. After a battle of Yiling, they lost their national strength.

The mountains and rivers of Shu are in turmoil, and the future is in jeopardy. How can Liu Bei still think about how to run Zhuge Liang? How can Li Yan and Zhuge Liang pinch each other? He is in debt, and he still has the mind to make a will. How can he divide the property for his children?

Liu Bei's experience is great. If he had such a big heart, he wouldn't have died of anger (illness) in Baidicheng.

It is certain that Liu Bei wants to protect Liu Chan. After all, there is only one person who can inherit the mantle, but if there is a foundation, what can we talk about the next generation without the capital? Therefore, before Liu Bei died, he was not as black as we thought. His decision, what he did and what he said, the first goal was definitely to save Shu first. How to make this crumbling country turn again? Only then can we consider how to make Liu Chan sit firmly in the position. To tell the truth, Liu Bei himself can't sit still in this position.

The balance between the monarch and his subjects, the birds hiding in the bow and the dogs cooking when the rabbit dies, were all things that Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang considered after they unified the whole country. Now Liu Bei is still drinking the pearl jade white jade soup.

Of course, Liu Bei also knows that Liu Chan is not very good. Can he not know his own son? Compared with Xelloss and Sun Quan next door, Liu Chan is lacking in talent and foundation, and few people can be trusted and used. It's hard to have Zhuge Liang's thigh to hug. Why did Liu Bei choose Li Yan to rule Zhuge Liang?

and Li Yan, is this the master who can rule Zhuge Liang? After Liu Bei left, Zhuge Liang didn't press Li Yan's head?

Liu Bei's promotion of Li Yan was definitely well thought out. Let's analyze it:

First of all, we know that there are deep contradictions among various groups in Shu, and Liu Bei is a foreign ruler. Li Yan's people betrayed the previous master and took refuge in Liu Bei's help to govern Yizhou. You said that after Liu Bei died, could he guarantee that these old ministers would not betray him like they betrayed Liu Zhang? Then does he have to calm these people's emotions, take care of their interests, give them some power and stabilize them?

Another thing, Shu really doesn't know who else can use it. How many cronies of Liu Bei's Jingzhou Group will be of great use when Liu Bei is dying? Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Pang Tong and others are all dead, and Zhao Yun is also old in Lian Po. Liu Bei did not win over the pro-Shu faction represented by Li Yan. What did he rely on to fight against those rebels in Shu? What Qiao Zhou, what Zhou Shu, what Peng Yang, all of which are eagerly looking forward to the chaos in Shu. Because Li Yan really has the ability to be a military and political generalist, otherwise Liu Bei would not have promoted him to cope with the restless factors in Shu.

as we all know, Liu Bei gave Li Yan the military power and Zhuge Liang the political power. It is said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Why did Zhuge Liang hold Li Yan down instead? You see, Zhuge Liang is a founding father. After following Liu Bei for so many years, Liu Bei must also understand Zhuge Liang's ability.

Liu Bei did not give the gun to Zhuge Liang, a member of Jingzhou Group, but to Li Yan of Dongzhou Group who betrayed Liu Zhang. Do you think this is reasonable? Is it a bit illogical? Who do you think is more likely to oppose Zhuge Liang or Li Yan?

Look at the results again. Zhuge Liang held Li Yan down. When did he hold him down? Shu was less chaotic, and its national strength was restored. Zhuge Liang controlled his rebellion and started the Northern Expedition. Then Li Yan was dismissed and let you go home to farm.

In fact, when Li Yan was awarded the military power, Liu Bei also put a spell: Yan and Zhuge Liang were supported by the testamentary edict; Take strictness as the central protection, unify internal and external military affairs, and stay in Yong' an town. ?

keywords: stay in Yong' an town, which is at the junction of Yizhou and Jingzhou. Liu Bei made up with Soochow before he died, so why stay here?

and the generals at the border command the whole country's army, is it possible?

In fact, the military power is still in the hands of Zhuge Liang, who has returned to Chengdu, the capital of Shu. Only when he is in charge of the capital can he control the national military forces.

So, this is a play performed by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang for these people in Shu. You don't have to take my gun, I'll give it to you, and I'll let the bullets you hit never hit me.

Li Yan is an all-rounder in military and political affairs. He has suppressed the rebellion many times, isn't it? Zhuge Liang's Longzhong is also very good at three-point world? But everyone who goes down in history is not bad. Why is Zhuge Liang more famous than Li Yan? Why do people worship Zhuge instead of Li Yan?

It's because Li Yan is a chess player in Zhuge Liang's hands at best. After reading a good chess game, it's not the chess pieces that impress you, but the players! Who will pay attention to how many pieces that chess piece has eaten? Is this chess piece remembered because it was touched by the chess player?

Oh, this old man is really amazing. He uses this pawn very well. The old man has a name, so you won't play chess with him next time, because you know you can't play chess, but there is a pawn in every chess game. Can you dare to play chess if you can see the pawn?

Let's ponder carefully whether this is the truth. Does Liu Bei expect Zhuge Liang to assist Liu Chan and develop Shu, and ask a Li Yan to run him? How is it possible? Isn't this the more chaotic it is? Shu is dying, and it has strengthened its infighting, and it has been proved that Zhuge Liang never turned his back to his death. This shows that Li Yan, the minister who entrusted orphans, is a useful chess piece that Liu Bei has found for Zhuge Liang, a chess piece that can save Shu and can be used.

So Liu Bei brought Li Yan up, which was a decision that he had to make in the face of the riddled Shu State. It was a chance for Zhuge Liang to breathe and turn around the decline of Shu State.
