He was the prime minister of Shu and Han in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and he was also a very powerful military talent and political strategist. His works, such as Being a Teacher, have far-reaching influence on later generations. The story about him is widely circulated. Invited by Liu Bei to be an official in the thatched cottage three times, the use of empty city tactics, the allusion of borrowing Dongfeng and so on. There are too many legends to tell, so he is also a symbol of wisdom in China. When he was still farming, he could have a unique analysis of world events, and he could even give advice to Liu Bei to establish Shu Han. Such a legend also has people he admires very much. So what?
Liu Ba is one of them. Zhuge Liang once said that his ability to strategize was far less than that of Zi Chu, where Zi Chu said Liu Ba, Zi Chu said Liu Ba's words, Liu Ba was from Jingzhou, and his home was the home of an official. His grandfather and father were both satraps.
Later, Liu Ba fled to Yizhou because of the war. When Liu Bei was invited to Yizhou, Liu Ba strongly opposed it, but it didn't work. Later, Liu Bei also invited Liu Ba to be his counselor, but he refused. In this way, until Yizhou City was broken, Liu Ba became an important member of Liu Bei because of his arrest. Even as a courtier, Liu Ba was unconvinced. Liu's younger brother, Zhang Fei, admires Liu's talent and wants to make friends with him, but Liu doesn't appreciate it. Instead, I ridiculed Zhang Fei in every way, saying that Zhang Fei is a rough man and wants to make friends with famous doctors! The relationship between the two was once tense.
Liu Bei didn't want to reuse Liu Ba because of his eccentric temper, but Zhuge Liang appreciated Liu Ba very much. Knowing what Liu Bei meant, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei,' Liu Ba's intelligence is far superior to mine', so Liu Bei gave up the idea of abandoning Liu Ba.
Why did Zhuge Liang recommend Liu Ba? What is Liu Ba's extraordinary ability? After Liu Bei entered Yizhou, all the documents of Shu Han were planned by him, and the laws of Shu Han were also Liu Ba's main contribution. Liu Ba's main contribution is that he made three suggestions to Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei, who had just occupied Yizhou, could get rid of the empty state treasury and the depressed people's livelihood, stabilize the economy and appease the people's livelihood.
Such excellent talents are great assistants to the country and the country. Unfortunately, Liu Ba died of illness soon after Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor. He is only 39 years old. It was the prime of life.
In addition, Zhuge Liang praised a character, but he also died young. Zhuge Liang once said that if this man had not died, the battle of Yiling would not have failed. This is the right way. I believe many people know that this man is the first counselor around Liu Bei. At that time, under the hand of Liu Zhang, Liu Bei came and surrendered to Liu Bei, which won Liu Bei's trust. He also made suggestions for Liu Bei and made many contributions.
Fazheng died at the age of 45. Liu Bei was very sad and cried for several days. He once gave him a posthumous title. Although Fa Zheng followed Liu Bei for a short time, he made great contributions to the development of Shu Han. He is resourceful and has a unique military view. Liu Bei obeyed him, but he was short-lived and failed to give full play to all his talents.
The third person whom Zhuge Liang admires today is Liao Li. Many people have never heard of this man. In Zhuge Liang's mind, he and Pang Tong have the same status, that is, the only person who can match their talents. Sure enough, Liao Li's official position was not low during Liu Bei's period, but after Liu Bei's death, Liao Li felt that he could replace Li Yan, but his official position was not high. He also belittled the state policy and officials of Shu, angered Zhuge Liang and was finally exiled.
Although he is very talented, he is too arrogant, which makes him embarrassed and useful, although he is highly valued by Zhuge Liang.
