In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, the heroes competed for hegemony and were full of talents. Western Shu Liu Bei , Eastern Wu Sun Quan and Cao Wei Cao Cao can all be called a generation of heroes. The battle between them wrote a wonderful historical chapter.
Unfortunately, talents were withered in the late Three Kingdoms. At this time, the monarch of Western Shu A Dou was the son of Liu Bei. His talent is far less than Liu Bei, and it even makes people feel that he is a little demented and called it "A Dou who can't help".
But think about it carefully, why can "A Dou, who can't be helped", become the longest-standing monarch in the Three Kingdoms? What are the unknown reasons here?
Assistant of good ministers and generals
post-masters Liu Chan is what we commonly call Adou, and his talent is not as good as Liu Bei. is far less powerful than Liu Bei's counselor Zhuge Liang , military general Guan Yu and Zhang Fei .
But this does not mean that there were no famous ministers and generals when Adou succeeded to the throne. There were many people who helped Adou fully. Although Liu Bei died of illness at that time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were beheaded, but Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, was alive, and the brave and good at fighting Wei Yan, was also helping Adou with all his strength.
A Dou, who was only 16 years old after Liu Bei's death, succeeded to the throne. At this time, the Wei State thought the time for the attack came, so he sent a large army to attack Shu State. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was alive at that time, and after seeing the situation clearly, he thought of a solution.
No matter how Sima Yi has many tricks and forces to attack Shu Kingdom in five directions, Zhuge Liang can also maintain the foundation of Shu Kingdom at a very small cost.
At that time, both the Wei and Wu were afraid of Zhuge Liang's ability and did not dare to easily send troops to attack Shu. In this way, Zhuge Liang and others became the solid backing of Shu.
After Zhuge Liang's death, both civil and military Jiang Wei inherited Zhuge Liang's mantle and continued to protect this country. Jiang Wei can be said to be Zhuge Liang's apprentice. Zhuge Liang taught what he had learned into a book and passed on to Jiang Wei. Therefore, Jiang Wei was still afraid of Shu and did not dare to send troops easily.
Apart from Jiang Wei, there were not no one in Shu Kingdom at that time, and there were still many generals under him. is just that its fame is far inferior to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun back then.
On the battlefield, these generals will also lead their subordinates to fight to defend their country in blood. In addition, Shu is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the rugged mountain roads are difficult to walk, which makes those who want to attack retreat.
The enemy country has no time to care about it and
0A Dou was able to defend Shu for 40 years, in addition to the assistance of famous officials and generals, another important reason was that in the later period, the Wei and Wu countries had chaos.
This has caused the national strength of the two countries to decline. If you want to attack other countries, you must first ensure the strength of your own national strength. Our country's national strength has declined, so who will risk attacking other countries?
The power of the Wei State was in the control of Cao Cao at the beginning, and later Cao Cao died of illness Cao Pi succeeded to the throne. Cao Pi was very ambitious and sent troops to Dongwu to seize the territory after assembling troops. Unexpectedly, there were many powerful generals in the Eastern Wu country in this land of fish and rice. After several rounds of battle, Cao Pi did not get any benefits but instead suffered losses.
As the saying goes, hurting an enemy is hurt by one thousand and hurting one hundred. During the Three Kingdoms period, where cold weapons were the main force, Cao Pi sent troops many times and would inevitably consume his national strength. After many rounds of war, Cao Pi did not seize any land and fell into a stalemate, so he withdrew his troops and returned to the country to recuperate.
A Dou also relaxed during his cultivation in Wei State and spent a period of leisure time. waited until Cao Rui succeeded to the throne. In order to demonstrate the majesty of the Cao family, he began to spend the people's efforts to build a large-scale construction, which indirectly weakened the strength of the Wei State. Later, the ambitious Sima Yi took advantage of the time when Cao Shuang went out to hunt and occupied the inner city and quickly seized the power.
After Sima took power, he naturally had to exclude Cao's family, and bloody storms were indispensable. After many rounds of cleaning the Sima family, the right to clean up was consolidated, but this also greatly damaged Cao Wei's vitality again.
Dynasties' development in the Eastern Wu was not smooth. Although Sun Quan was resourceful, he was always indecisive in the selection of his heirs.Later, due to the unreasonable arrangements, the power was lost, and the ministers who obtained power did not even take the emperor seriously.
Fortunately, the old general stood up and stabilized the situation, but after this, Dongwu also lost a lot of strength. The monarch of the late Eastern Wu was incompetent and cruel, and the local people were all afraid of this, which greatly restricted the development of the Eastern Wu.
Cao Wei and Eastern Wu have severe internal frictions, and they can only make plans for the long term if they want to attack the high and steep Shu Kingdom. , who seemed incompetent, spent decades safely, until Wei recovered its vitality and sent two generals to attack Shu. It was not until many years of disputes between the Three Kingdoms were over.
A Dou's human intelligence
It is a reason for everyone's assistance, and it is also a reason for the great damage to the imperial energy during his reign. But if the monarch is really a dementia, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit steadily in this position. So is Adou in reality dementia? In fact, it can be seen from his employment.
At the beginning, the power of Shu Kingdom was controlled by Zhuge Liang, and at that time Adou also obeyed Zhuge Liang's words. Later, Zhuge Liang predicted that in the long run, Shu's development will definitely not be as good as Wei's.
In order to delay the demise of Shu, Zhuge Liang sent troops to Qishan to fight with the Wei army, and after leaving the mountain, Adou stayed in the palace.
Many people think that A Dou is doing every day at this time to drink and enjoy himself, but in fact, A Dou has put in a lot of effort behind him.
You should know that after leaving Qishan, the army needs a long logistics supply line. A Dou ordered his subordinates to transport money and grain to the front to ensure that Zhuge Liang has sufficient supplies. Judging from this matter, Adou is not as heartless as we think.
When Zhuge Liang died, Adou thought that Zhuge Liang's own power was limited everywhere. So Adou simply abolished the Prime Minister and instead distributed the rights to 号, Jiang Wan , so that they could constrain each other.
In this way, there will be no one in the court who holds power alone, and it will be much more convenient for A Dou to manage it. From this perspective, Adou still has a certain management ability, although it is far inferior to Liu Bei and Cao Cao. But it is definitely much stronger than the foolish monarchs in later generations.
According to this, Adou can only be regarded as a relatively mediocre monarch, but why did Adou act like a dementia in later film and television works? This starts with two wrong things that Adou did. When Zhuge Liang was alive, he sent a thousand defenders stationed on Yinping Ancient Road. These 1,000 people were to prevent the enemy from attacking.
Someone may propose that Yinping Mountains are high and dangerous, and it is impossible for an enemy to attack from here. It is better to reduce the expenses and remove these 1,000 defenders. At that time, Adou thought it made sense and withdrew the defenders of Yinping. Unexpectedly, Deng Ai really led the army to attack, because the army without defenders Deng Ai successfully captured the capital as if it was in a no-man's realm.
It can be said that Adou's decision directly ruined the future of Shu Kingdom.
Another mistake is that after surrendering, Adou did not act very sad but instead showed a happy expression. Sima Zhao just rewarded himself with a small piece of closure. A Dou was so happy that he also visited Sima Zhao specifically. Sima Zhao immediately set up a banquet to entertain Adou, and Adou was drunk at the banquet.
Sima Zhao immediately asked Adou if he missed his hometown? A Dou casually replied that I am happy here, and I don’t think of Shu. It means that I am having a happy life here and don’t miss my hometown.
I am not sad when my country was destroyed, but I just enjoyed it elsewhere. Adou's answer caused a lot of laughter, and then the incident spread and was known to everyone in the world.
It is estimated that Adou was helpless at that time. At that time, the Sima family had already taken over the power, and after conquering Shu Kingdom, he recruited a large number of talents. Even if you use tricks to return to Shu Kingdom, what kind of storm can you cause with A Dou's ability?
Even if we lead the people of Shu and Wei to confront each other, it will still lead to a disastrous defeat. At that time, the person who is different from his body and head will not only be himself, but also involves many people in Shu.
A Dou, like his father Liu Bei, has a heart of loving the people. In such a dangerous situation, it is better to pretend to be stupid to protect himself and the people of Shu. From this perspective, Adou is wise and worthy of respect by future generations.
