Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei looked for a talent that was only obtained in China, and even Zhuge Liang sighed!
We can often hear this sentence: What is the most important thing in the 21st century? It's talent! In fact, anyone who has the ability and can do things can be called talents regardless of industry or job. And for thousands of years, no matter which dynasty or country, talents have always been important.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's advisers were like clouds and generals like rain, so he could help him turn from a humble little prince in the Central Plains into the most powerful overlord of the Three Kingdoms. Liu Bei was born at a very young age, and he went north and south for decades to find nothing. He didn't turn around until he met Zhuge Liang. It took Zhuge Liang only 14 years to help Liu Bei build a three-dimensional Shu Han, and Zhuge Liang was also "aponized" by later generations.
But in fact, at that time, the hard-to-find talent was not Zhuge Liang, but someone else.
This person is Liu Ba. He was born in a prominent family in Yizhou. He has been reading poetry since childhood, and he has his own views on history and governance. After being promoted as a filial piety in his weak crown, he served in Shu, and he went to Luoyang as an official at the end of the Han Ling Emperor.
At that time, Liu Bei was also studying under Lu Zhi's school in Luoyang when he was young. As a result, he had a little friendship with Liu Ba and also saw Liu Ba's skills. Later in Luoyang turmoil, Liu Ba resigned to Yizhou for refuge, and was recruited by Yizhou Mu Liu Yan.
After Liu Ba worked under Liu Yan for a period of time, he keenly felt that Liu Yan had a disinterested attitude, but he could not change this result, and he did not want to change it. After all, Liu Yan is very good to the native gentry in Yizhou, and his family has also received a lot of blessings from Liu Yan. The two are regarded as grasshoppers on a rope, and Liu Ba also does his best to serve Liu Yan and the family.
On the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei and drove him to Jingzhou. Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao needed Liu Bei but also beware of Liu Bei, so he settled in Xinye to train. Liu Bei was not idle in Xinye either. In addition to training soldiers and handling official duties, he was making friends with talents from all over the world. When he knew that Liu Ba he knew when he was young has become Yizhou Bujia, Liu Bei wrote an autograph letter and sent his nephew to Liu Ba. By my side, I hope Liu Ba can teach this person.
Liu Ba and Liu Bei were originally not the same. In order to clarify their positions, Liu Ba refused Liu Bei on the spot. Although Liu Bei was rejected, he didn't make any remarks. He only had a deeper impression of Liu Ba, because Liu Bei knew that a capable person like Liu Ba would have his own personality.
Later, Liu Bei and Sun Quan teamed up to defeat Cao Cao in Chibi. As the winner, the Sun Liu coalition also took over Jingzhou, but because Liu Bei occupied most of the important gates of Jingzhou earlier, he also substantively controlled it. The whole Jingzhou. At this time, Liu Bei became a prince again. He urgently needed a large number of talents to help him govern Jingzhou. Then he wrote to Liu Ba to solicit. The letter promised Liu Ba a high-ranking official and a bright future, but he was still rejected by Liu Ba.
After two years of consolidating Jingzhou, Liu Bei felt that the time was ripe and started to attack Yizhou. At that time, Liu Zhang, an animal husbandry in Yizhou, was firmly suppressed by Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Liu Bei took the opportunity to write to Liu Zhang, expressing his willingness to help Liu Zhang kill Zhang Lu. Liu Zhang only needed to pay for the army's expenses.
Liu Zhang is very tempted by Liu Bei's suggestion. After all, he believes in Liu Bei's strength and has even sent Zhang Song and Liu Bei to negotiate. Liu Ba saw through Liu Bei's ambition for the first time and told Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang expressed his disbelief and insisted on inviting Liu Bei to enter Shu. As a result, the entire Yizhou was taken by Liu Bei.
Liu Bei summoned Liu Ba as soon as he took over Yizhou. Faced with this man who had let himself go through half of China, Liu Bei did not get angry but treated him with courtesy. He also took the opportunity to consult with Liu Ba about the cure for Yizhou. After drinking three rounds, Liu Ba presented several strategies to Liu Bei to improve the people's livelihood, economy, and armaments of Yizhou.
When Liu Bei was put into practice for two years, Yizhou really took on a new look, and the tax and food were more expensive than Liu ZhangMore while in office! For this reason Zhuge Liang once sighed: "I am not as far away as Zichu", "Zichu" refers to Liu Ba himself.
And Liu Bei also threatened: Whoever killed Liu Ba would kill his whole family. This shows the importance of Liu Ba.
