Therefore, Shu Han must have imported certain materials from Soochow to meet domestic needs and make up for the material gap.
"Three Kingdoms" records: "Wu Yi Zi West Road" does not specify what kind of material it is, but the only possibility is the most lacking strategic material in Shu Han - grain (Shu is self-sufficient in copper, iron and salt).
According to economic theory, the added value of Shu brocade is greater than that of agricultural products. The scissors difference allows Zhuge Liang to quickly obtain the maximum return with the minimum investment in population.
No wonder "Ode to the Capital of Shu" describes Chengdu's prosperous scene as "the city has a huge number of people, the mountains are full of bribes...the flavor of wolfberry sauce flows in the hometown of Panyu".
This also explains why Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who always valued agriculture, instead used a large number of people originally used for agricultural production in weaving. Even Zhuge Liang himself planted 800 mulberry trees.
It can be seen that Zhuge Liang's "only relying on Jin'er to defeat the enemy" is a very clever economic strategy, but what belongs to others is ultimately other people's, not his own.
If one day Sun and Liu are at odds again, there may be problems with the food and grass provided by the Shu Han army to the army, leaving the soldiers with insufficient food to eat. The army will probably not have much fighting power.
Even if Jingzhou was taken back by Biyan'er again, his eldest brother Liu Bei, the leader of Shu Han, and his third brother Zhang Fei, who were sworn sworn brothers to Taoyuan Three, wanted to seek justice for their second brother at all costs.
However, Prime Minister Zhuge and others still maintained a certain degree of rationality and clearly realized that their biggest enemy of Shu Han was Cao Wei.
Instead of Bi Yaner who just sent Lu Meng across the river in white, Soochow still has some things that Shu Han lacks.
For example, food needs to feed hundreds of thousands of horses, and a lot of food must be purchased from our ally Soochow every year to feed the army. But the big-eared Liu Bei, the leader of Shu Han,
Even if he didn't listen to the advice, he wanted to avenge his second brother immediately, and he couldn't bear it any longer. He would look for an opportunity to deal with Sun Wu later. After all, he had been the leader for a long time. He was prone to being self-willed and could not listen to others' advice.
Even if he only visited the thatched cottage three times, he invited Zhuge Liang, the great hero, to come out of the mountain to help him occupy one side of the foundation and achieve the three-legged foundation!
Even if the one who wants to attack is his wife's brother, an important ally of Shu Han, he must still attack him without fail.
Even if the other party has been transporting a lot of military rations for him to support the Shu Han army, he can't take care of so much. The revenge that should be avenged for his brother must still be avenged.
When Jingzhou fell and his second brother Guan Yu was killed, Zhang Fei was guarding Langzhong. When he heard that Guan Gong had been killed, he cried every night and shed blood on his clothes.
The generals tried to persuade him with wine. After Zhang Fei got drunk, he became even more angry.
Above and below the tent, the soldiers were whipped whenever there was any culpability, so that many of them were whipped to death.
When Liu Bei found out, he advised him that if you whip the soldiers and let them follow you, they will get into trouble sooner or later. You should be tolerant towards soldiers. But he didn't listen, and even advised his eldest brother Liu Bei to raise troops as soon as possible to avenge Guan Yu.
One day later, Zhang Fei ordered the army to make white flags and white armor within three days. The three armies would pay filial piety and follow his eldest brother Liu Bei to attack Wu.
The next day, two generals, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, entered the tent and told Zhang Fei: "With white flags and white armor, there is nothing we can do about it at the moment. We must give him some mercy."
Zhang Fei was furious and shouted: "I am eager for revenge. I can't wait to go to the land of rebels tomorrow. How dare you disobey my order as a general!" He asked the warriors to tie the two of them to a tree and whip them on their backs.
Fifty times.
After the beating, he pointed at the two of them and said: "Everything must be complete tomorrow! If you violate the deadline, I will kill you two to show the public!"
The two were beaten until their mouths were bleeding. The two returned to the camp to discuss.
Fan Jiang said: "How can we prepare for the punishment we received today? This man's personality is as violent as fire. If we don't get everything done tomorrow, you and I will both be killed!"
Zhang Dadao: "Man is a swordsman, and I am a fish. Rather than letting the general kill us, it is better for us to kill him!"
Fan Jiang: "It's just that there is no way to get close to the general."
Zhang Da: "If we don't deserve to die, then he will be drunk on the bed. If we deserve to die, then he won't be drunk." The two of them discussed it.
Zhang Fei got very drunk again that night and lay down in the tent.
Fan and Zhang found out about the news. At the first watch, they secretly entered the tent with sharp swords and killed Zhang Fei. That night, they took Zhang Fei's head and fled to Soochow.
This is not the first time that Zhang Fei got drunk and got into trouble. Previously, when Liu Bei was stationed in Xuzhou, Liu Bei and Guan Yu went south to attack Yuan Shu, leaving Zhang Fei to guard Xuzhou. Before leaving, they repeatedly advised Zhang Fei not to drink and get into trouble.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei not only drank by himself, but also asked others to accompany him. Cao Bao, the Prime Minister of Xia Pi, was not good at drinking and was punished by Zhang Fei.
As a result, Cao Bao and Lu Bu joined forces and captured Xuzhou in one fell swoop. As a result, Liu Bei and others lost their foundation and began to rely on others again.
But even after experiencing the painful lesson of losing a state, he still got drunk every time he drank. He couldn't have fun unless he was drunk. This time in Langzhong, he was completely screwed up and even lost his life to drinking.
It also made Liu Bei, the sworn brother of the Taoyuan Three, even more furious. Regardless of the overall situation, he could not wait for a moment. He only thought about one thing, avenging the two brothers, so he led most of the Shu Han elites to Soochow to find Bi Yan.
I've settled the score,
The euphemistic name is that it is for the sake of the Shu Han Dynasty, first to deal with the weakest of the three parties, and then to defeat Cao Wei in one fell swoop and restore the Han Dynasty.
But the final fact is that he raised his army in anger and defeated the Shu Han's hard-earned strength.
The Shu Han was vaguely able to surpass Cao Wei in strength before, and suddenly fell to the last place, even worse than Sun Wu. But the fact is so cruel, there is no way, who makes Liu Bei the big ear want to launch an army in anger?
He thought he could win the battle by himself, without relying on Wolong, but in the end reality gave him a slap in the face, making him understand that it would not work to leave Zhuge Liang alone after he achieved even a little success.
But it was a little late to understand, and the emperor cannot admit his mistakes easily, even if it is such a big mistake,
And such a big mess needs someone to clean it up, and the only one in Shu Han who can clean up this mess is Wolong, so he should be the one to take care of the orphans in the future.
When Prime Minister Zhuge was in power, both the Sun and Liu families were willing to repair their relationship. The Shu Han no longer had an advantage over Sun and Wu, and Cao Wei's national power was getting stronger.
It was Cao Wei who brought the two families back together again, and it is even more so now, which makes the Sun and Liu families even more afraid, and they will even make some dirty tricks against Cao Wei.
But Cao Zhaobo also understood that with Cao Wei's current strength, he couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to. Although his cheap father-in-law had ostensibly negotiated peace with Cao Wei,
But it was also due to Cao Wei's strong military power that he had to temporarily negotiate a peace. But secretly, he didn't know how many methods he would use to deal with him. He would not be soft when he started. Just like tonight, there was something hidden behind the banquet.
