Binding luck: I am immortal in the reincarnation game

Cao Cao not only has the political status of "holding the emperor to order the princes", but also has extraordinary political talents himself; The internal is sincere and united, and the generals obey their orders.Cao Cao was also decisive in dealing with affairs, "using troops like a god", good at responding to changes, and his extremely high military talents were fully utilized in the Battle of Guandu.

···········

Although Yuan Shao had a large number of troops, he relied on his noble family and indulged in annexation by powerful and powerful people. The people in the territory did not follow him.In addition, he is cronyistic, self-willed, narrow-minded, and "doesn't know what soldiers need" and "doesn't establish military orders."Therefore, compared with Cao Cao in terms of politics and military affairs, he is at a disadvantage.Therefore, Cao Cao was able to win more with less and defeat Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu. It was not purely accidental, but a certain inevitability.

In the second year after the Guandu War, Yuan Shao died in sorrow and anger, and his sons Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fought against each other again, and a fight broke out.Cao Cao seized the opportunity to capture Yecheng successively, killed Yuan Tan and the governor of Bingzhou, expelled Yuan Shang, and occupied the four prefectures of You, Ji, Qing, and Bing.Afterwards, the Wuhuan and Yuan's allied forces were defeated, and more than 20 Wuhuan and Han people were conquered, basically unifying the northern region.

After Cao Cao unified the north in the Battle of Chibi, he wanted to take advantage of the victory and expand to the south, destroying Liu Biao who ruled Jingzhou and Sun Quan who ruled Jiangdong in one fell swoop, and then unified the whole country. In the 13th year of Jian'an (208), he led an army of 20, claiming to be 80. Jingzhou advances.At this time, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao passed away, and Liu Cong, the second son of Liu Biao who succeeded Jingzhou Mu, was frightened by Cao Cao's strong army and sent envoys to surrender.Only Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi, who was appointed as the prefect of Jiangxia, and Liu Biao's general Liu Bei, who was stationed in Fancheng in the north, persisted in resisting Cao.

Liu Bei is a native of Zhuo County (now part of Hebei). He was the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, after Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, and belonged to the distant branch clan of the Han Dynasty.He once served as county magistrate and county lieutenant because of his contribution to suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising.In the subsequent warlord melee, it also had some armed forces.However, due to its weak strength, it can only rely on powerful warlords, so it has never had a fixed site.

···················

After the Guandu War, he defected to Liu Biao, was sent to Xinye, and later moved to Fancheng.While recruiting and training soldiers in Fancheng, he also searched for talents and actively strengthened his own strength.He once visited the thatched cottage three times, and invited Zhuge Liang who lived in seclusion in Longzhong (now west of Xiangfan, Hubei) to come out of the mountain as his staff, and visited Israeli political affairs, and finally became an irreversible friend.

Sun Quan who occupies Jiangdong is the second son of Sun Jian from Fuchun (now Fuyang, Zhejiang).Sun Jian was once promoted to the prefect of Changsha for his contribution in suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising.Followed Yuan Shu in the warlord melee, and was later killed by Liu Biao's general Huang Zu.The eldest son, Sun Ce, led the trilogy and began to develop towards Jiangdong.After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan took over the old ministry, and after painstaking efforts, his power gradually became stronger.

When Liu Bei heard the news that Cao Cao led his army to Jiangling via Fancheng, he withdrew south due to his weak force.Traveling to Changban (now in the territory of Dangyang, Hubei), he was defeated by Cao Jun, and turned eastward, and joined Liu Qi at Fankou (northwest of Echeng, Hubei).In order to unite Jiangdong forces to resist Cao Cao, Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang to meet Sun Quan in Chaisang (now southeast of Jiujiang, Jiangxi).

After Sun Quan received the letter from Cao Cao in Jiangling about "meeting with Wu", he immediately called his subordinates to discuss.However, the surrender faction and the combat faction among the subordinates insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other.Although Sun Quan advocated resistance, it was difficult to make a decision due to the pressure from the capitulators.

·············

After Zhuge Liang arrived in Jiangdong, Sun Quanshi strengthened his determination to resist Cao, and soon formed the Sun-Liu Allied Army, with Jiangdong Zhou Yu as the commander.Cao Cao led his troops eastward and encountered the coalition forces at Chibi. After losing the first battle, he withdrew his troops back to Wulin on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and connected the bow and stern of the ships with iron chains, in order to make the Cao soldiers in the north adapt to water life.

·············

Zhou Yu ordered his general Huang Gai to feign surrender to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao immediately agreed.So Huang Gai led dozens of Mengchong warships carrying ointment, oil and dry firewood to Cao Ying.At that time, the southeast wind was blowing strongly, and the boat was moving fast. When it was about to approach Cao Jun's ship, Huang Gai ordered his troops to set fire to it.

···············

Cao Jun's end-to-end ships caught fire immediately, and ignited the Wulin camp.Cao's army was in chaos, and many people were burned and drowned.Zhou Yu commanded the allied forces to advance by land and water, taking advantage of the victory to pursue, Cao Cao hurriedly led the remnant troops to flee back to Jiangling.

Although Cao's army was large in number, it was not unified internally. The recruited troops from Jingzhou were hesitant and unwilling to use their lives. The main force of Cao's army was mostly from the north. They were not used to water warfare.In addition, Cao Cao was paralyzed and underestimated the enemy, eager for success, gave up his strengths in land warfare, and used his shortcomings in water warfare; .Therefore, it led to the failure of the Battle of Chibi.

·············

After Chibi was defeated, Cao Cao voluntarily abandoned Jiangling and narrowed his front to Xiangyang, Fancheng and Hefei.Then, he marched westward into Guanzhong with his army, and chased and killed the warlord Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Ma Chao in the Longyou area of ​​Guanzhong.Soon, he went south to Hanzhong and defeated Zhang Lu.It laid the foundation for the establishment of the later Cao Wei regime.

･･･････

After the Chibi War, Liu Bei occupied the four counties of Changsha, Lingling, Wuling, and Guiyang, and then borrowed Jingzhou from Sun Quan.Later, Liu Bei defeated Liu Zhang and occupied Yizhou, creating conditions for him to establish the Shuhan.

After the Chibi War, Sun Quan competed with Cao Cao for the Jianghuai area, and at the same time sent troops to conquer Lingnan, successively occupied Jiaozhou, Guangzhou and other states, and expanded his power to the Pearl River Basin.Soon, he sent Lu Meng to attack and kill Liu Bei's Jingzhou guard Guan Yu, and completely drove Liu Bei's forces out of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

So far, the situation of the Three Kingdoms has basically formed.

Section [-] Three Kingdoms Politics

[-]. Cao Wei politics

Cao Cao commented on Cao Cao, a native of Peiguoqiao (now Bo County, Anhui).His father, Cao Hao, was the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng, and he bought an official position to become a Taiwei.When Cao Cao was 20 years old, he was elected as a Lang with Xiaolian, and then entered his career.After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he recruited Ding Zhuang in Yanzhou, trained soldiers, and led his troops to join the Kwantung Army. He once attacked Dong Zhuo with a lone army.After the Kwantung Army disintegrated, it began to manage the land of Henan.After defeating Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, the Yellow River Basin was gradually unified.After the Chibi War, he marched into Guanlong and occupied Guanzhong. Duke Wei was promoted to king of Wei, and died of illness in 220.

···········

Cao Cao liked to read military books since he was a child. He collected a wide range of military arts from various schools and compiled them into a volume titled "Jian Yao". He also wrote notes for thirteen chapters of "Sun Tzu's Art of War".He fully demonstrated his outstanding military talents in the Battle of Guandu and its many battles, which is the main reason why he was able to change from weak to strong in the melee of warlords.Therefore, he is one of the famous military strategists in ancient my country.

Cao Cao also showed extraordinary talent in politics.Although he has made great achievements in the world, and "coerced the emperor to command the princes", he was able to judge the situation and did not proclaim the emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty until his death, which shows that he has a clear political mind and is not a white-faced treacherous minister with unfulfilling desires.He issued the "Order of Seeking Talents" three times, all of which regarded talent as the primary condition for the selection of officials, so he recruited many insightful people and civil servants and generals around him.This is another important factor for the success of his career.

···········

In short, with his outstanding political and military talents, Cao Cao made an indelible contribution to eliminating the warlord melee at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and promoting the completion of the great cause of reunification, which few people in the same era can compare with him.Although sometimes he will show many shortcomings such as cruelty, extravagance and licentiousness, but his great achievements cannot be erased.

Jiupin Zhongzheng System This is an official selection system established by Cao Pi, the son of Cao Cao, in 220 A.D. on the eve of the founding of the Han Dynasty and the founding of the Wei Dynasty.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the monopoly of eunuchs, entrustment by wealthy families, and bribery of public officials, the system of selecting officials such as investigation and expropriation implemented since the Qin and Han Dynasties has become rotten. Township elections can no longer be carried out as usual, so the nine-rank Zhongzheng system came into being.

The election method of the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system is that Situ, the central government, first selects officials who serve in the capital to serve as Dazhongzheng or Zhongzheng officials in the original state and county, and is responsible for inspecting the scholars scattered in various places in the state, and then comprehensively integrates their family status, morality and morality. Only then, set out the 'product' and 'shape'.Grades are divided into nine grades, mainly based on family status and seniority, which are the behaviors of scholars with virtue and ability.After the product and form are written, report to the central government for selection.

At the beginning of the implementation of the Nine Ranks Zhongzheng System, the central official department paid more attention to the status of scholars, but later the status gradually became a dispensable thing, and the selection of officials and personnel depends solely on the status of the family.This paved the way for the formation of clan politics in the later Western Jin Dynasty.

·············

The establishment of the Cao Wei regime and the rise of the Sima clan In October 220, Cao Pi took the throne in Luoyang as Emperor Wen of Wei, and the Cao Wei regime was formally established.Seven years later, Cao Pi died, and his son Cao Rui came to the throne as Emperor Wei Ming. Cao Zhen, Chen Qun, Cao Xiu, and Sima Yu were sent to assist the government.

···········

In the following year, Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang cooperated with each other and attacked Wei.Emperor Ming immediately sent troops to resist, and sent troops to attack Liaodong in the north many times, and flooded the land, which brought the Cao Wei regime into its heyday.In the third year of Jingchu (239), Emperor Wei Ming died, and his adopted son Cao Fang succeeded to the throne. General Cao Shuang and Taiwei Sima Yu entered the court to assist the government.Later, after a series of political struggles, the Cao Wei regime was gradually controlled by Sima Yu and his son, and gradually declined.

157 chapter

Liu Bei's Take Shu and Jian Han At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tai Changqing Liu Yan was appointed as the shepherd of Yizhou (which governs today's Chengdu, Sichuan).When Liu Yan entered Shu, he took many of his relatives and old friends with him, and formed a "Dongzhou Army" composed of refugees from Nanyang and Sanfu as the political and military force he relied on.This created a sharp conflict with the indigenous Yizhou landlords, and even broke out an armed conflict that lasted for more than ten years.In addition, the Wudou Rice Road led by Zhang Lu in Hanzhong became increasingly active, which also posed a huge threat to Yizhou.After Liu Yan died, his son Liu Zhang succeeded him.Zhang Song, the native landlord of Yizhou and prefect of Shu County, tried to overthrow Liu Zhang by relying on external force, so he suggested to Liu Zhang that Liu Bei should enter Shu from Jingzhou to resist Zhang Lu.Liu Zhang readily agreed, and immediately sent Fa Zheng to welcome Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei obtained most of the land in Jingzhou after the Chibi War, there was no danger to defend here, and there was a danger of being attacked by Cao Cao and Sun Quan at any time, so he regarded the rich and dangerous Yizhou as his place to live and work. , wanting to be annexed at any time.The arrival of Fazheng made him overjoyed, and immediately led his troops into Yizhou.In the 19th year of Jian'an (214), with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei finally captured Chengdu and took Yizhou Mu by himself.Then, they sent troops to the north and captured Hanzhong, further consolidating the defense of Yizhou. In 221, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, founded the country as Han, and was known as Shuhan in history.

The Battle of Yiling Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang After entering Shu, Guan Yu, the general of Liu Bei who stayed in Jingzhou, led his troops to attack Xiangfan, captured him in Jin, killed Pang De, and shocked the north. He also threatened Sun Quan, who was in Jiangdong.In the 25th year of Jian'an (219), when Guan Yu besieged Fancheng in the north, Sun Quan sent Lu Meng to lead his troops to attack and occupy Jiangling, and set up an ambush in Dangyang Maicheng (southeast of Dangyang, Hubei today), capturing and killing Guan Yu.In July of the first year of Zhang Wu (221), Liu Bei, who had not long proclaimed himself emperor, took revenge on Ju Guan Yu, and personally led an army of 40 to march eastward along the river to Jingzhou.Sun Quan immediately sent general Lu Xun to lead his troops to fight.In February of the following year, the two sides met in Yiling (now north of Yidu, Hubei).Liu Bei relied on the number of troops and the strength of his forces, and the "Shuzha Company" stretched six or seven hundred miles from end to end.Lu Xun started with deep trenches and high fortresses, and he couldn't hold on, which frustrated his spirit.After nearly half a year of stalemate, Lu Xun took advantage of the paralysis of the Shu army and launched a powerful offensive with fire attack.As a result, the Shu army was defeated and had to retreat to Baidi City (now east of Fengjie, Sichuan).In April of the third year of Zhang Wu, Liu Bei died of illness.

Zhuge Liang's Contributions to the Shu Han Zhuge Liang, styled Kongming, was born in Yangdu Langya (now Yishui, Shandong).He was lonely early and was raised by his uncle Zhuge Xuan.Soon after Xuantou Liu Biao died of illness, Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Longzhong, twenty miles west of Xiangyang.Liu Bei once visited the thatched cottage three times and asked him to come out of the mountain to help.He immediately analyzed the situation in the world for him, and brilliantly proposed for Liu Bei the direction of development to Yizhou and the strategies and tactics that he should adopt. This is the famous "Longzhong Dui".After the Chibi War, he assisted Liu Bei in capturing Yizhou and establishing Shuhan.Shortly after the Yiling War, Liu Bei died of illness in Baidi City. Zhuge Liang succeeded Liu Chan to the throne after receiving the imperial edict.Since then, he has made the following contributions to the Shu Han: uniting Wu against Cao, ruling Shu with law, stabilizing Nanzhong, and conquering Cao Wei in the north.

After the Yiling War, the relationship between Shu Han and Sun Quan broke down, and both sides faced the threat of Cao Wei.Zhuge Liang immediately sent people to Jiangdong to reaffirm the friendship, and finally restored the alliance between Wu and Shu.

Zhuge Liang believed that "there is no virtue in the government, and the punishment is not severe." This is the root of many bad governance in Shu since Liu Yan.Therefore, he adopted the policy of governing Shu with "prestige by law", "restriction by nobles" and "combination of honor and favor". Goods, the implementation of the rule of law of "rewards do not leave far, punishments do not go near", so that "people in Shu are self-motivated, the way does not pick up what is lost, the strong does not invade the weak, and the weather is awe-inspiring. '("Three Kingdoms" Volume 35 "The Biography of Zhuge Liang").

Nanzhong is located in the south of Shuhan, including today's Yunnan, Guizhou and southern Sichuan.There are many ethnic minorities living here, and it was called 'Southwest Yi' at that time.After Liu Bei took Shu and built the Han Dynasty, he set up a governor here, and appointed local powerful chieftains to manage the place.After Liu Bei's death, the four prefectures of Yuexi, Zangzhou, Yizhou and Yongchang in Nanzhong turned against each other for a while, and the Shu Han was in danger of losing Nanzhong.In the third year of Jianxing (225), after a period of full preparation, Zhuge Liang began to use troops against Nanzhong.He successively sent generals to attack Cangzhou and Yizhou respectively, and then personally led the main force to march into Yueyi, killing the old commander Gao Dingyuan.In May of the same year, he crossed Lushui (now Jinsha River) and entered Yizhou. Using the strategy of "seven captures and seven attacks", he defeated the rebellious general Meng Huo in a row, and the Nanzhong Rebellion was finally put down.It not only relieved the worries of the Shu Han, but also broke the closed state of this area, and strengthened the friendly relationship between the "Southwest Yi" ethnic groups and the Han nationality, which is of positive significance to the development of the Nanzhong area.

After Nanzhong was stabilized, Zhuge Liang led his army north and stationed in Hanzhong, and began the Northern Expedition to Cao Wei.In the sixth year of Jianxing (228), Zhuge Liang led an army of 231 out of Qishan (now Gansu West and Qishan Fort), trying to detour Longyou and threaten Guanzhong.However, because the forward Ma Di violated the military order and lost the street pavilion, the Han army was forced to retreat; in the winter of the same year, Zhuge Liang went north to Sanguan (now southwest of Baoji, Shaanxi) and entered Chencang (now Baoji, Shaanxi), and retreated because of the lack of food; Zhuge Liang went out for the third time and captured Wudu and Yinping County; During the second Northern Expedition, the Shu army advanced to Wuzhangyuan (now in Meixian County, Shaanxi Province), and confronted the Wei army across the Wei River.Soon after, Zhuge Liang became ill from overwork and died in the army.The Northern Expedition to Cao Wei ended here.Therefore, some people think that Zhuge Liang "has been mobilizing the masses for years, but he has not succeeded. It is because of the strategy of adapting to the situation that he is not the director!" Hanzhong gave the Shu Han time to recuperate and develop the economy, and realized Zhuge Liang's strategic thinking of attacking as defending.And because he is good at running the army, with strict discipline and flexible command, the Shu army has always been in an active position, so his outstanding military talent cannot be denied.More importantly, Zhuge Liang is knowledgeable, quick thinking, incisive and reasonable in analyzing the world situation, and far-sighted;Therefore, there is a reason why he has been praised and loved by everyone for thousands of years, and even became a historical figure well-known to every household and well-known to women and children.However, some people say that he is a holy fairy who can predict things like a god, who can even call the wind and rain, but it is just a legend of a meddlesome person, and it is not a true evaluation of Zhuge Liang.

Decline and fall of the Shu Han regime After Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wan and Fei Yi came to power one after another, maintaining a tripartite rivalry with Wei and Wu.In the first year of Jingyao (258), after Fei Yi's death, Jiang Wei was appointed general.At this time, Liu Chan, the queen master, was greedy for pleasure, and favored Chen Zhi, the servant, and Huang Hao, the eunuch, and pushed Jiang Wei out, and the national power was declining day by day.

[-]. Sun Wu politics

Sun Quanjian Wu Yiling After the war, the alliance between Sun Quan and Shu Han broke down, and Wei Wendi Cao Pi took the opportunity to march south.On the one hand, Sun Quan dispatched troops and generals to meet the attack; on the other hand, he sent envoys to Shu Han to seek peace.Zhuge Liang also sent Deng Zhi to Jiangdong, so the two sides reconciled and formed an alliance again.Cao Pi then withdrew his troops from the south and focused on dealing with the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han. In 229, Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor in Jianye, and his country was named Wu, which was called "Sun Wu" or "Eastern Wu" in history.

In the third year of Huanglong's envoy to Taiwan (230), Sun Quan sent generals Wei Wenwen and Zhuge Zhi to lead [-] soldiers across the sea to Yizhou (now Taiwan), and moved thousands of Yizhou aborigines to the mainland.This is the earliest record of traffic between Taiwan and the mainland.

Sun Wu's decline In the first year of Shenfeng (252), Sun Quan died of illness, and the succeeding Kuaiji king Sun Liang and Jingdi Sun Xiu were both incompetent, which caused Sun Wu's political situation to become increasingly turbulent.In the first year of Xianxi (264), after Sun Hao, the last emperor of Wu, succeeded to the throne, politics became more political.Sun Hao was not only cruel and brutal, massacred ministers wantonly, but also spread the palace and abused people's power, causing the ruling class to be centrifugal, everyone was in danger, and the common people lived a poor life of "the old and the young, hungry and cold, and every family has food".As a result, class contradictions became increasingly acute, and peasant uprisings continued one after another.The demise of the Sun Wu regime is a foregone conclusion.

Three Kingdoms Economy

[-]. Cao Wei's farming system

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the Yellow Turban Uprising hitting the feudal large-scale land ownership system, there was a situation of "the land has no owner, and it is all public land" ("Three Kingdoms" Volume 15 "Biography of Sima Lang").The ensuing melee between warlords displaced a large number of farmers and became refugees.This provided a large amount of land and labor for the implementation of the garrison system at that time; in the process of suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising, Cao Cao plundered a lot of cattle and agricultural tools from the peasant army, which also provided conditions for the smooth implementation of the garrison system; The social economy was greatly damaged, famine was prevalent, and the separatist warlords were seriously short of food.In order to solve the problem of military rations, Cao Cao drew on the experience of the Western Han Dynasty in farming in the frontier and vigorously promoted the farming system.

In the first year of Jian'an (196), Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao accepted the suggestion of his subordinates Zaoyi and Han Hao.

There are two types of tuntian system: Mintun and Juntun: Mintun began in the first year of Jian'an (196), first rose around Xuchang, and then gradually spread to other places.Its organizational structure is that the central government is in charge of the Dasinong monk Shuling, the Diannong Zhonglang and Diannong Xiaowei are set up in each state and county, and the Diannong Duwei is set up in the county, and there are Tun Sima under it, consisting of 50 people.The producers in Mintun are bankrupt and exiled farmers, known as 'Diannongbumin'.The amount of exploitation is a sharing system, that is, those who use the state's cattle to farm the land have to hand over half of the harvest to the government, and those who use private cattle pay half of it.
