Chapter 224 Liu Ye

Liu Ye, courtesy name Ziyang, from Chengde, Huainan (now southeast of Shou County, Anhui Province), is a descendant of Liu Yan, the king of Fuling, the son of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu, and a famous strategist of the State of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period.

He is young and well-known. He is known as the talent of the world. He is an important advisor under Cao Cao. He has repeatedly made wonderful plans and often talks about the development of the world's situation.

Liu Ye served several dynasties and was the elder of the three dynasties of Cao Wei.

When Liu Ye was seven years old, his mother died. When his mother died, he said, "Your father (Liu Pu)'s servant has the nature to frame people. I'm afraid that I will be in chaos after my death. I hope you and your brother (Liu Huan) can get rid of this person when you grow up."

When Liu Ye was 13 years old, he killed his father's favorite waiter according to his mother's will, and then calmly pleaded guilty to his father. Liu Pu was originally furious, but after knowing Liu Ye's motives, he also admired him very much and did not criticize him. Junan Xu Shao was good at watching people. At that time, Yangzhou took refuge and said that Liu Ye was talented.

When Liu Ye was in his twenties, the world was in chaos, and most of the powerful people in Yangzhou were unwilling to restrain the strong and help the weak and were cunning and cruel.

Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, Xu Gan and others in Yangzhou support their own soldiers. Among them, Zheng Bao is the most brave and decisive, and his talent and strength are outstanding, which is feared by the local people.

At that time, Zheng Bao wanted to kidnap the people to cross the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River. He took a fancy to Liu Ye as a local Gao celebrity and wanted to force him to advocate this plan.

Liu Ye was very scared when he knew it, but he was not found by Zheng Bao. At this time, Cao Cao sent an envoy to Yangzhou, and Liu Ye went to see the envoy, discussed the current situation, and asked the envoy to stay with him for a few days. Zheng Bao then took hundreds of people to welcome the messenger with cattle and wine and waited for Liu Ye.

Liu Ye set up a banquet for Zheng Bao outside the middle gate, and he and Zheng Bao had a banquet inside, and secretly asked someone to take the opportunity to kill Zheng Bao.

But Zheng Bao turned out to be not good at drinking, and he paid great attention to them, which made the man afraid to do it. Liu Ye then killed Zheng Bao with his own sword, cut off his head, and threatened his followers: "Cao Gong has an order. Those who dare to move should commit the same crime with Bao." The people were shocked and scared when they saw this and ran back to the camp.

At that time, there were still thousands of elite soldiers in the camp. In order to prevent them from causing chaos, Liu Ye rode Zheng Bao's horses to the gate of Zheng Bao's camp and told some leaders Chen about the evils and welfare. Finally, everyone kowtowed to welcome Liu Ye. After entering the camp, Liu Ye appeased the masses, convinced everyone, and elected Liu Ye as the new leader.

However, Liu Ye saw the decline of the Han Dynasty, and he was also a royal clan. He didn't want to support the army, and entrusted those parts to Liu Xun, the governor of Lujiang.

At that time, Liu Xun had a strong force between Jianghuai and was afraid of Sun Ce, so Sun Ce sent envoys to ask Liu Xun to attack the city on his behalf with humble words and treasures.

Liu Xun believed in Sun Ce and was very happy to receive the treasure. Everyone congratulated him, but Liu Ye was not happy. Liu Xun asked, and Liu Ye said, "Although the upper haze is small, the city is deep, and it is difficult to attack and defend. It is impossible to lift in ten days, so the soldiers are exhausted outside, but the country is empty. If you attack me, you can't stay alone. He will succumb to the enemy and retreat. If the army comes out now, the disaster will come.

But Liu Xun didn't listen and insisted on sending troops. Sun Ceguo attacked Liu Xun from behind. After Liu Xun's failure, he defected to Cao Cao in 199 AD (the fourth year of Jian'an), and Liu Ye also followed him.

Later, Cao Cao went to Shouchun. At that time, Chen Ce, a mountain thief, gathered tens of thousands of people in Lujiang and guarded it.

Cao Cao once sent a general to try to eliminate it but failed. Cao Cao then asked the group if they could go on a campaign.

Many people think that mountain thieves are dangerously defended, difficult to conquer, and insignificant and should not be conquered. However, Liu Ye believes that in fact, the mountain thieves still dare to fight against their lack of qualifications and the uncertain world. At that time, the situation was generally stable. They should first offer rewards to persuade them to surrender, and then use military strength to advance, and then the mountain thieves will defeat themselves. .

Cao agreed and sent a fierce general in front of him. After that, the army finally calmed down Chen Ce as Liu Ye predicted. After the war, Cao Cao set up Liu Ye as Cao Yu.

In 215 (the 20th year of Jian'an), Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu in the Han Dynasty and appointed Liu Ye as the main book.

At that time, Zhang Wei, Zhang Lu's younger brother, led the army to defend. Cao Cao attacked various villages on Yangping Mountain, but the mountain was dangerous and difficult to climb. Moreover, the soldiers were killed and injured, and there was a lack of food, so Cao Cao planned to withdraw his troops and ordered Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu to call the troops on the mountain to retreat.

At this time, some troops mistakenly broke into Zhang Wei's camp at night, and the soldiers in the camp were scattered. At that time, Liu Ye, who was behind the army, saw this and thought that he could win and advised Xiahou Dun not to retreat.

Xiahou Dun believed it, so he went back to tell Cao Cao. Cao Cao then attacked Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei was defeated and retreated.

Zhang Lu soon surrendered, and Cao Cao got into Hanzhong. Liu Ye then advised Cao to attack Liu Bei's newly occupied Shu land, believing that the capture of Hanzhong shocked the Shu people, and as long as they attacked them, they would return to the wind. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others would stabilize people's hearts and guard the danger, and it would be difficult to conquer in the future.

But Cao Cao didn't listen. Seven days later, some people who surrendered from Shu said that the people of Shu were panicked, and Liu Bei killed the panicked people and could not calm their hearts.

Cao then asked Liu Ye if he could attack now, but Liu Ye said that the people of Shu were relatively stable and could not attack. Cao Cao finally returned to his teacher. Later, he served as the commander of the army and led the army.

In 220 (the first year of Huang Chu), Liu Ye was promoted to serve and awarded the title of Marquis of Guannei.

At that time, Cao Pi asked his courtiers whether Liu Bei would avenge Guan Yu, who was killed by Sun Quan's attack on Jingzhou. Most of them thought that Liu Bei's strength was weak and the famous generals were only about Yu. After Guan Yu's death, he was worried that there would be no more war at all.

However, Liu Ye thought that Liu Bei would definitely lend troops and regain his prestige; and he believed that Liu Bei and Guan Yu were like father and son and would definitely avenge him. Finally, Liu Bei attacked Sun Quan the following year (221 AD) and launched the Battle of Yiling.

At that time, Sun Quan used the strength of the whole country to deal with it and claimed vassal to Cao Wei. Many courtiers congratulated him, but Liu Ye thought that Sun Quan did not have the heart to submit. This time, he was forced to claim vassal.

Liu Ye even suggested that Cao Pi take advantage of the virtual army to lead the Eastern Wu to eliminate future troubles.

But Cao Pi disagreed. After the victory of the battle of Yiling, the Eastern Wu gradually became more and more unconvincable, so Cao Pi planned to fight, but Liu Ye thought that the State of Wu had just defeated Shu Han and made up his mind, and the Yangtze River was in danger, so he could not attack so hastily. Cao Pi didn't listen.

In 224 (the fifth year of Huang Chu), Cao Pi personally led his army to Guangling Sikou and ordered the troops of Jingzhou and Yangzhou to advance side by side and attack Eastern Wu.

. At that time, many people thought that Sun Quan would personally lead the army to resist, but Liu Ye thought that Sun Quan knew that Cao Pi would only lead a large army to suppress the territory in the north of the Yangtze River, and the fighters across the river must be other generals, so he would definitely wait for the attack and not personally attack. In the end, Sun Quan did not come, and Cao Pi had no choice but to retreat.

Wei Feng was very famous at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and all the officials below him made sincere friends with him.

In 220 (the first year of Yan'an), Liu Bei's general Meng Da surrendered. Cao Pi valued Meng Da very much and appointed him as the governor of the new city and added a regular servant. At that time, people said that he had "the amount of happiness".

When Liu Ye saw the two of them, he said that they would definitely defect.

Finally, Wei Qi rebelled in Yecheng in 219 AD (the 24th year of Jian'an), while Meng Da corresponded with Zhuge Liang in 227 AD (the first year of Taihe) with the intention of rebellion.

In 227 (the first year of Taihe), Emperor Cao Wei succeeded to the throne and became the Marquis of Liu Yedongting, with 300 households in Shiyi.

The following year, Sun Yuan, the Duke of Liaodong, forced his uncle Gongsun Gong to abdicate his throne and established himself as the governor of Liaodong: Liu Ye thought that the Gongsun clan had occupied Liaodong for a long time, and it might be as difficult to control and even launched a rebellion like the Hu people.

It is suggested that Gongsun Yuan should take advantage of his initial accession to the throne, unexpectedly send troops to fight, and set up a reward to lure him to assist his opponents. It may not be possible to solve the problem of the division of Liaodong.

But he was not accepted in the end, and Gongsun Yuan also rebelled against Wei in 237 AD (the first year of Jingchu).

Liu Ye was favored by the Ming Emperor. Once Cao Rui planned to attack Shu Han, and the courtiers said no, but Liu Ye privately said yes to Cao Wei. Later, he went out and the courtiers no, because Liu Ye's courage seemed to be sincere, and Cao Rui and the ministers did not doubt it.

At that time, Yang Ji, the leading army, was favored by the Ming Emperor and respected Liu Ye. He was the minister who was most opposed to Cao Rui's attack on Shu. When Liu Ye met Yang Ji, he also told him that he could not attack. Yang Ji thought that Liu Ye would definitely support him.
