In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Longzhong is an amazing strategy. With Longzhong’s right planning, in just a few years, Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei successfully transform from a "four seas as home" to the emperor of Shu Han. People find it incredible. In fact, in the Three Kingdoms, in addition to Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair, there was Lu Su's couch, which also helped Sun Quan successfully promote to the emperor of Dongwu.
So, which strategic vision is better for Zhuge Liang's Longzhong to He Lu Su's bed?
Longzhongpair
Longzhongpair occurred when Liu Bei left Yuan Shao and defected to Liu Biao in Jingzhou. At that time, Liu Bei had been in trouble for decades, and he was still useless. Originally, there was Xuzhou as a foothold, but it was first attacked by Lu Bu and then defeated by Cao Cao, so he could only lead a small number of pros to Yuan Shao. However, at Yuan Shao's place, Liu Bei was not reused, and had no place to stand in the north, so he could only go south to Liu Biao.
In Jingzhou, although Liu Biao was quite good to Liu Bei, Liu Bei was involved in the dispute between Jingzhou’s first son and was almost killed by Cai Hao several times. It can be said that Liu Bei’s situation in Jingzhou is also not good. Liu Bei, basically can't see the day of his life.
That is to say, in this case, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage and finally succeeded in impressing Zhuge Liang, so Zhuge Liang was invited to come out. Before leaving the mountain, in the hut, Zhuge Liang made a strategic plan for Liu Bei.
The original text of the Romance: The general is the clan of the imperial family, the letter and righteousness is written in the world, and the heroes are all over the world. If there are jing and benefit, protect the rock resistance, west and Zhu Rong, south Fu Yi, Yue, and foreign Jie Sunquan, internally revise political principles; when the world changes, he will order a general of Jingzhou’s soldiers to Xiangwan and Luo, and the general will lead the people of Yizhou to go out of Qinchuan, and the people will not eat pot pulp to meet the general Who cares? First take Jingzhou as the home, and then take Xichuan to build the infrastructure, so as to become a great potential, and then you can see the original.
Judging from Zhuge Liang’s Longzhong counterpart, the diplomatic plan is to "communicate with Zhurong in the west, Yi and Yue in the south, and Sun Quan in the south". Strategically plan to occupy Jingzhou, seize Yizhou, one-third of the world, and become the king of self-reliance. When the world changes, two attacks on the Northern Expedition can defeat Cao Wei and have the hope of making progress in the world. It can be said that this strategy is well planned. The general development of the follow-up is as planned by Longzhong. Even though Liu Bei made many mistakes, he still occupied Jingzhou and Yizhou in the end, and the Liu Bei Group became more powerful.
In the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao, and the military capability of the Shu Han reached an unprecedented height. If it weren't for Guan Yu's careless loss of Jingzhou later, Zhuge Lianglong's right plan would be fully formed, and the next step would be to rest with the people, improve national strength, and wait for the world to change.
床上策
In addition to Zhuge Liang, Lu Su also proposed a similar strategy to Sun Quan. At that time, Sun Ce was assassinated and died. Sun Quan had just succeeded to the throne. Jiangdong was on the surface smooth. In fact, undercurrents were surging in private, and Sun Quan was also very confused about Jiangdong's development direction. So he asked Zhou Yu for help. Knowing Lu Su's ability, Zhou Yu recommended Lu Su to Sun Quan. Sun Quan and Lu Su had a very happy conversation and were very happy to agree with Lu Su's strategic plan.
Lu Su’s best plan is also his strategic plan for Sun Quan. In this plan, Lu Su suggested that Sun Quan destroy Huang Zu, attack Liubiao in Jingzhou, occupy the entire Yangtze River, and finally use the land of Jiangdong as the foundation and establish the title of emperor.
On the surface, Lu Su's plan is still good, but compared with Zhuge Liang's Longzhong, this plan is slightly inadequate. First, comparing the two plans, Longzhong not only gave specific target plans for diplomacy (to win over foreigners and take over Sun Quan), but also for Liu Bei from the perspective of military (grab Jingzhou, seize Yizhou, beat Cao Cao). The direction and finally predicted the overall situation of the world in the future.
On the other hand, Lu Su’s bed plan was not pointed out to Sun Quan in diplomatic relations how to deal with neighboring neighbors. In military terms, attacking Huang Zu and conquering Liu Biao in Jingzhou is nothing new. Many people in Soochow have this view. andRegarding the general trend of the world in the future, he did not make a clear prediction, but only persuaded Sun Quan to abandon the Han Dynasty and ascend the throne. However, this is Sun Quan's favorite.
In this comparison, everyone can clearly see the level of the two people's strategic planning. Zhuge Liang is robbing Jingzhou and Yizhou, uniting the surrounding tribes and Sun Quan, to divide the world. After that, soldiers sent out Wanluo and Qinchuan, attacked Cao Cao, and captured the entire world. On the other hand, Lu Su captured Huang Zu, attacked Jingzhou, and then proclaimed himself emperor across the river. In Lu Su's strategic planning, it was obvious that he had very little prediction of the general trend of the world, and he did not plan for Sun Quan how to take the entire world.
Summary
From the comprehensive Longzhong's view on Heta, it is obvious that Zhuge Liang’s strategic vision is higher than that of Lu Su, and his plans are more comprehensive. More far-reaching. Comparing the strengths of Liu Bei and Sun Quan at that time, it is obvious that Sun Quan’s strength is far stronger than Liu Bei. However, Lu Su’s strategic plan failed to help Sun Quan achieve better development. Jiangdong is still the same Jiangdong, and his strength has not been developed. However, Liu Bei jumped from an exiled warlord to an emperor sitting on two states. The level of strategic vision can be understood at a glance.
