Zhuge Liang saw through Wu Dong's honey trap and arranged for Zhao Yun to accompany him. He met Zhou Yu's father-in-law Joe for the first time. Joe persuaded us to meet in Kanluoji. When Wu Guotai saw that Liu Bei had twins and the appearance of the sun, he really married his daughter Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei. However, Liu Bei got his wish and still did not return Jingzhou to Wu Dong. Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were ridiculed: "Zhou Lang's clever plan was to protect the world, but he lost his wife and soldiers."
As the saying goes, you can't tolerate beautiful women, but you can't fall into lewdness. Then, Sun Quan sent Mei Jie out, why not trap Liu Bei, a pervert? This should also start with the geographical location and advantages of Jingzhou.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Jingzhou was located between Xichuan and Wudong, which was a natural barrier against Cao Cao in the Yangtze River. This is a battleground for military strategists. It can be said that Jingzhou is the lifeblood of Wu Dong, because only when Wu Can occupies Jingzhou can Cai Dong advance and retreat freely. When Liu Bei was at the end of his tether, he borrowed Jingzhou from Wu Dong as a shelter.
After Battle of Red Cliffs, Wu Dong repeatedly asked for Jingzhou. Of course, Liu Bei would not give up his only foothold, so he repeatedly pushed it off for various reasons. Zhou Yu, the satrap of Wu Dong, was very angry and wanted to take Jingzhou back. One day, Zhou Yu heard about Mrs. Liu Bei's new funeral and knew that Liu Bei was a lecherous who treated women as clothes, so he had a brainwave and had a plan, which was Sun Quan's honey trap of marrying his sister to Liu Bei.
Under the careful arrangement of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei entered Wudong accompanied by Zhao Yun and Sun Gan. Zhaoyun arrived in Xu, the first city south of Wudong, and opened the first toolbox according to Kong Ming's instructions. Look, he ordered the 500 soldiers accompanying him to go to the market one by one to buy all kinds of things needed for the wedding. At the same time, the news of marrying princess sun was trumpeted. The sergeant and the people of Wudong listened and passed on the news for them. At that time, the news of the festival immediately spread throughout the state of Wu. Zhao Yun prepared a generous gift for Liu Bei, and taught Liu Bei to take the initiative to visit Joe Lao Guo.
Joe is an important person in Wu. His two daughters, one married Sun Quan's brother Sun Ce and the other married Zhou Yu; Two sons-in-law, one is the founder of Wu and the other is the current viceroy. This shows Joe's decisive role! Liu Bei's visit made Joe Lao Guo very happy. Driven by Joe, Sun Quan's mother met Liu Bei in Kanluoji. As a result, after meeting Liu Bei, Wu Guotai made the final decision: choose a day to get married.
Originally Wu Dong just wanted to be a "fake hostage", but it turned out to be true, which annoyed Sun Quan and Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu made another plan to let Sun Quan put Liu Bei in the palace and provide him with food and showgirls in an attempt to make Liu Bei "happy". Then, waiting for an opportunity to provoke his relationship with Zhang Guan and alienate his feelings with Zhuge Liang. Finally, Jingzhou was retaken in a planned way. In short, don't let Liu Bei elope with his new wife!
So Sun Quan went as planned: to build a luxurious palace for Liu Bei and his wife to live in, with beautiful singers. As for jinyi cuisine and treasure saddle carving, everything is richer. Liu Bei, who has worked hard on the battlefield for many years, has fallen into a gentle and rich situation. He was carried away by joy and indulged in debauchery. According to Zhuge Liang's second move, Zhao Yun told Liu Bei that Cao Cao had brought 500,000 soldiers to Jingzhou. Liu Bei was shocked to hear that Jingzhou was in danger. I wanted to return to Jingzhou immediately, but I was reluctant to leave my newly-married Mrs. Sun. At this time, Mrs. Sun, who has become Liu Bei's wife, not only persuaded her husband to return to Jingzhou immediately, but also eloped with her husband.
Liu Bei immediately decided to leave Wudong and eloped with Jingzhou in the name of going to the riverside to worship his ancestors. When Sun Quan learned that Liu Bei had left, he sent generals to chase him. Zhou Yu was afraid that Liu Bei would escape, and he always sent troops to defend the only way. As a result, Liu Bei was attacked from front to back, surrounded by pursuers, and the situation was extremely dangerous. According to Zhuge Kongliang's third move, Zhao Yun asked Liu Bei to tell them all about Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's plot to murder themselves with her as bait.
Mrs. Sun flew into a rage when she heard the whole story. Sun Quan and Zhou Yu immediately sent troops to curse and ordered them to get out of the way, otherwise they would be killed without forgiveness. In desperation, Wu Dong's pursuers gave up a chance to live and let Liu Bei escape from Wu Dong's encirclement.
Although Liu Bei had a narrow escape, it was undoubtedly a good thing to kill two birds with one stone by marrying a beautiful grandson and saving Jingzhou. However, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's honey trap of "fake marriage and fake hostage-taking" finally failed, not only losing their wives and soldiers, but also losing many people, which became the eternal laughing stock of stealing chickens and wasting rice. However, from a deeper perspective, Liu Bei's handling of Sun Liu's second marriage this time also laid a hidden danger for the subsequent implementation of the strategic policy of "uniting with Sun and refusing Cao".
From the story of "Sun Quan marries his younger sister", it is not difficult to see that both Zhou Yu's "fake marriage and hostage taking" and Liu Bei's "taking beauty" are the countermeasures to control Jingzhou. Then, why do Sun Quan and Liu Bei value Jingzhou's geographical position and geographical advantages at the same time? The answer can be found in Zhuge Liang's biography:
First, "Sun Quan, according to Jiangdong, has lived for three generations. Saints can use the dangers of the country and the people. This can be for aid, but not for profit "; Second, "if there are advantages and disadvantages, in order to protect its rock resistance, there are armies of various armies in the west, barbarians in the south, Sun Quan outside, and internal affairs, the change of the world makes the generals lead Jingzhou troops to Wan and Luo, and the generals lead Yizhou people out of Qinchuan. Who dares to see the general if he doesn't eat kettle pulp? "
In other words, Wu Dong is in danger of the Yangtze River, and Liu Bei, who is sitting on a surprisingly large island, can join hands with Sun Quan of Wu Dong to repel Cao Cao in the north and destroy him. Jingzhou lies between Xichuan and Wudong. At this time, whoever controls Jingzhou has the initiative and the right to speak.
Of course, Sun Liulian and Cao had a good honeymoon. When Liu Bei was chased by Cao Cao's army, Liu Bei had to "send Zhuge Liang to marry Sun Quan". Under the opposition of Zhou Yu and other young generals, Sun Quan "joined forces with his ancestors and fought with Cao Gong in Chibi, breaking it and then burning it quickly." Go hand in hand with Liu Bei and Sun Quan and catch up with Nanjun. When the disease was prevalent, the northern army died, and Cao Gong led the army back. "This is a typical battle example in the history of China' Battle of Red Cliffs'. This war laid the foundation for the tripartite confrontation between Wei, Shu and Wu.
After Battle of Red Cliffs, driven by Lu Su, a man of insight, Sun Quan began to tilt Liu Bei's policy greatly and maintained a good interactive relationship with Liu Bei. Therefore, Liu Bei, who has no fixed place, can "borrow" his name and get a chance to recuperate in Jingzhou. And Jingzhou was established as a base for attacking surprisingly Yizhou. Therefore, 10,000 Liu Bei refused to return Jingzhou. In this case, Zhou Yu put forward the best plan, that is, the honey trap of "Sun Quan marrying his sister".
However, the development of the situation completely surprised Sun Quan and Zhou Yu. On the contrary, "Sun Quan married his sister" caused a sharp contradiction between the two sides. After Sun Quan's sister became Liu Bei's wife, she not only didn't realize the political responsibility of revitalizing Wu Dong, but helped Liu Bei escape the siege of Wu Dong's pursuers calmly, which made Wu Dong lose a good opportunity to recover Jingzhou. This makes both Sun Quan and Zhou Yu feel that "losing his wife and losing his soldiers" is a mistake they will regret for the rest of their lives. Later, Sun Quan's sister followed Liu Bei, bored, and returned to her mo.
Later, Guan Yu ruled Jingzhou, refused Cao Cao in the north, repeatedly made meritorious military service, and flooded seven armies, which became a great threat to China. This made Sun Quan dare not act rashly. In order to recapture Jingzhou, Sun Quan had to send Lu Su and Guan Yu to negotiate directly. But at this time, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others have forgotten the strategic policy of "uniting the sun to refuse Cao", so the motion to recover Jingzhou was severely rejected by Guan Yu. As a result, the famous "one knife meeting" in history happened. Of course, this "one knife meeting" that shocked the world ended in discord.
In order to recover Jingzhou, Sun Quan once again expressed the gesture of "seeking a better alliance". All the messengers were sent to see Suoyu's daughter. Jed insulted the messenger and refused to let her marry. Everyone is angry. "Sun Quan sent messengers to propose to Guan Yu's daughter for his son, which is undoubtedly another marriage between Sun and Liu. Supposedly, this is a good opportunity for Liu Bei to mend after the sheep is dead and restore the strategy of "uniting with the sun and rejecting Cao". However, things have reversed and developed in a more dangerous direction.
Speaking of it, this time Sun Liulian failed in marriage, and the responsibility is not entirely on Guan Yu. Liu Bei himself ended up eloping from the beginning and refused to marry Sun and Liu, which undoubtedly had a great influence on Guan Yu. If he agrees to betroth his daughter to Sun Quan's son, it will be out of place with Liu Bei. Of course, this is the inevitable result of Guan Yu's neglect of the strategic policy of "uniting with the sun and rejecting Cao Cao"
It turns out that Shu Han of Liu Bei and Wu Dong of Sun Quan are close neighbors and in-laws. Liu Bei's two marriages with Sun Quan's sister, Sun Quan's son and Guan Yu's daughter ended in bad blood, so the alliance between Shu Han and Wu Dong was naturally difficult to achieve. As a result, Sun Quan adopted Monroe's plan, paralyzed Guan Yu, crossed the river to recapture Jingzhou, and finally killed Guan Yu.
Liu Bei, who always regarded "brothers as brothers and women as clothes", could not accept Guan Yu's murder, so he marched eastward along the river under the banner of revenge. However, he repeatedly made mistakes in tactics and was defeated by the famous Wu Dong Lu Xun. As a result, he died of shame in Baidicheng.
It is not difficult to see that Zhou Yu and Sun Quan's honey trap did not trap Liu Bei at that time, but Liu Bei did not escape the revenge trap dug by blindly giving up the strategic policy of "uniting with Sun and rejecting Cao".
