Chapter 157
"Go, go, this was done by me in the future, what does it have to do with me now. Don't make an issue of it."

Liu Bei saw that the topic was slightly unfavorable to him, so he quickly broke it off, and then said to the two,

"Big brother, third brother, since the three of us have become sworn brothers, we should help each other. Can you help me find a way. Analyze the reason."

"It's actually not difficult to understand."

Cao Cao didn't hide his secrets at all.When he saw Liu Bei asking for help, he said bluntly,
"After your death, the young master of Shuzhong was young, and people's hearts were fluctuating. The overall internal and external situation was supported by Zhuge Liang alone.

Either Zhuge Liang would control the government, hold the power of the court in his own hands, and maintain the situation of one mind in central Shu.

Or it can only be the Northern Expedition year after year.On the one hand, they used the Northern Expedition to order all parts of central Sichuan to see who had the heart of disobedience.On the other hand, this is to use the Northern Expedition to hold the whole country's army in your hands, so as to prevent your son from attacking him because he listened to the slander.

Therefore, the reason for all this is that Liu Bei's method of obtaining Yizhou is not only not well-known, but also many local officials are Liu Zhang's old officials, and the central government has not been well controlled.If Zhuge Liang hadn't made the Northern Expedition year after year, there would be chaos inside Shuzhong without external enemies. "

"That makes sense."

Liu Bei thought about it, and felt that Cao Cao was right.

Shuzhong was not monolithic in the first place, and had not experienced many wars.Families and officials everywhere have more or less their own little thoughts.

If Zhuge Liang hadn't made the Northern Expedition year after year, and used the great justice of the Northern Expedition to command the localities, I'm afraid that the national power in central Shu would be consumed faster.

Although after Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, he also said that he would follow the example of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and go out to Yizhou to conquer the world.

But in fact, sending troops from Yizhou is really not a good choice.While Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it also means that it is not easy to send troops.

Therefore, Guan Yu, who was in charge of Jingzhou, could achieve huge results in the Northern Expedition, but Zhuge Liang returned without success many times.

However, after Sun Quan stabbed Guan Yu in the back, Jingzhou was lost, and the Shu Han only had Yizhou as a road for the Northern Expedition.Thinking about the Northern Expedition, of course, can only be a fantasy.

As for the legendary Wei Yan Ziwu Valley conspiracy, just take a look.If you really want to do this, there are nothing more than two results.

One was a success. Tens of thousands of troops without logistics really conquered Chang'an with its tall city walls.Then the next thing to face is the crazy counterattack of Cao Wei's forces.

At that time, the army hanging alone in Chang'an will have to send a large number of civilians to transport grain from Shu on the one hand, and survive Cao Wei's early counterattack on the other hand.

Relying on the national power of Shu Han, it is easy to be exhausted by logistics.

Of course, you can also choose to collect food on the spot.Then a group of people who were planning to surrender found that the quality of the army that was trying to revive the Han Dynasty was not as good as that of Cao Wei.

Of course, although difficulties are difficulties.This strategy still has a certain possibility of success.

However, everything must consider the consequences of failure.

If the existence of this surprise attack force was leaked, Cao Wei set up an ambush in advance and wiped out the entire force.

Then, when the news comes back to Shu, such a huge defeat will inevitably cause internal turmoil in Shu, and the ruling authority of the Shu Han Dynasty will be weakened to an extremely low level.

And Zhuge Liang himself had to pay a huge political price.

Because although there is no shortage of food in Yizhou, the population is not large. In addition, Liu Bei experienced a disastrous defeat in Soochow in order to get revenge, which made the available soldiers even fewer.

Although Zhuge Liang made the Northern Expedition year after year, a careful analysis reveals that he would rather return without success than lose too many troops.

The so-called Northern Expedition was more like a military exercise with limited casualties.The purpose is to keep the army in Shuzhong maintaining its combat effectiveness.

In fact, things did develop according to Zhuge Liang's idea.

Although at the end of the Three Kingdoms period, the Shu Han was the first to perish, but the frontal battlefield was able to fight back and forth with the north.

Moreover, the Shu Han was finally killed by Liu Chan's surrender, not a failure on the frontal battlefield, and it was considered a dignified loss in military terms.

On the other hand, Soochow was also defending the natural danger, but it was taken directly in one go, and the speed of defeat was basically similar to surrender.

It can only be said that Zhuge Liang is indeed trying his best to extend the life of Shu Han.But it is a pity that the trend is over and no matter how hard we try, it is useless.

"Then how to solve this problem."

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, looked at Cao Cao and asked.

"It's very simple."

Cao Cao replied,
"After you capture Yizhou, surrender to me directly. I will make you a king of Shu. So you don't have to worry about this problem?"

"You should first resolve the issue of your old Cao family being usurped, and then ask me to surrender."

Liu Bei rolled his eyes at Cao Cao.

"I think so too."

Cao Cao complained.

"After destroying a Sima family, a Huangfu family will emerge. When I destroy the Huangfu family this time, maybe a Shangguan family will emerge.

The teacher said that this happened because of historical inertia, which is what we call God's will, but he didn't say that the front can break this providence. "

"Actually, the main reason is that the name of the three of you is not right, and the words are not right."

After listening to the discussion of the three, Xun Ze stood up and said,
"Although Cao Cao relied on his unique constitutional monarchy system, the Cao family's rule over the north was justified.

However, neither Yizhou nor Soochow recognized the Cao family's statement, and believed that the Cao family had usurped the rights of the Han Dynasty.Once there are powerful officials like Sima Yi and Huang Fushun, the rule of the Cao family will easily change hands.

Since the Qin Dynasty, the people of China have hoped for a stable dynasty to rule the world.In this way, at least there will be no military disasters.

Therefore, in this case, whoever can unify the world will be qualified to abolish the Han Dynasty and stand on its own feet.

People don't care whether Liu Bang is really Haotian's son or whether the Cao family is really Haotian's boy. They care more about who can bring long-term unity and prosperity to the world.

The Chinese people have been a race that believes in themselves more than in gods since ancient times.Therefore, it is unrealistic to rely on foreign methods to bluff the people and maintain the rule.

You have to come up with real things to win the trust of the common people in the world. "

"Then what is the real thing?"

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce all turned to look at Xun Ze.

"Cao Cao's constitutional monarchy."

Ask Xun Ze to speak.

Um, teacher, are you kidding us?

The three of them were speechless when they heard Xun Ze's words.

Cao Cao has Emperor Xian of Han in his hands, so he can do this.They can't learn even if they want to.Is it possible to let Liu Bei make his own constitutional monarchy, and let Sun Quan find a royal family member to establish another emperor and constitutional monarchy?
