**Wan Fan Incentive Plan In the long river of history, there is an embarrassing story - Zhou Yu knew the threat of one of them before his death, and told Sun Quan regardless of his life: If this person is not removed, Dongwu will be in danger!
However, Sun Quan chose not to listen, and the result was a series of waves and disasters. What kind of identity is this person who does not get rid of him, and his existence can affect the fate of the entire Eastern Wu?
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, the two can be described as "a good story born together, Jiangdong broke his wrist". Born into a hereditary family of scholars, Zhou Yu was ambitious and eager to make a career since he was a child. Fortunately, he met Sun Ce, a teenager of the same age. The two were like-minded and soon became confidants.
Sun Ce is talented and has the style of a general, so he had the reputation of "Little Overlord" at that time. With a mentor and friend like Zhou Yu, he received great inspiration and help, and gradually emerged, competing in the Central Plains in the Jiangdong region, and gradually establishing his own power.
The two have a very strong relationship, just like brothers. Zhou Yu always respectfully called Sun Ce "Brother Sun", and never dared to take a step beyond Lei Chi. Sun Ce also valued Zhou Yu's talent and courage very much, and sometimes even forgot his identity and drank with him until late at night.
For a time, Sun Ce was like a bamboo, dominating one side. He not only has Zhou Yu, who is both civil and military, but also gathers many heroes, such as Zhang Zhao, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, etc. These outstanding strategists and brave generals laid the foundation for the rise of Soochow in the future.
seems to be a happy situation of returning home, but it came to naught in an instant. In 200 AD, Sun Ce was unfortunately assassinated and died young at the age of 26. At this moment, Zhou Yu was extremely sad in his heart. He witnessed the death of his bosom friend's life, and he himself fell into the dark abyss of despair.
When he learned the bad news, Zhou Yu only felt that the world was spinning, and his mind was blank. He fell to his knees, trembling and unable to speak for a long time.
Before his death, Sun Cetuo was alone with Sun Quan, who was only 17 years old. Such an important position should have been held by Zhou Yu, but he understood that it would be difficult to convince the public after all. So Zhou Yu resolutely stood on Sun Quan's side, and made an unswerving oath to fulfill this potential young man, and assisted as always.
At that time, it was a troubled time, and heroes from all walks of life rose together. Cao Cao in the north is powerful and eyeing the tiger; Liu Bei also gradually rose in the Jiangnan region and was ambitious. Zhou Yu knew that Soochow was facing tremendous pressure from all directions, and he must unite as one in order to break through and be reborn.
In order to create enough time and space for this young master to grow, he traveled between all kinds of heroes and talents; In the midst of strategizing, he won thousands of miles away, and fought with opponents from all walks of life. Hard working without complaint.
During this period, Zhou Yu personally negotiated with the northern envoys, and his face did not change; He also took the lead, personally supervised the battle, and defeated the invading enemy. Such loyalty made the generals look at him with admiration and admiration.
With his full help, Sun Quan gradually grew into a Ming Jun. As a result, Soochow's foundation became more and more solid, and its strength increased greatly. Even if Cao Cao in the north repeatedly wooed him, Zhou Yu was unwavering. At the same time, as a famous person in Jiangdong, he has also received attention and respect from all sides. It can really be described as a generation of heroes!
In this era of heroes, the princes are fighting and the situation is complicated. However, Zhou Yu's vision is different, calm and unhurried, and has insight into opportunities. In 210 AD, ten years after Sun Ce's death, Zhou Yu became ill due to overwork and was critically ill in bed. When he was dying, he could not hide his grief and entrusted a heavy burden to Sun Quan - to guard against Liu Bei and Shu Han.
At that time, Liu Bei was in the initial stage, and in Sun Quan's view, he was not worried. However, Zhou Yu is keenly aware that this seemingly gentle and elegant competitor has a grand plan in his chest. He will surely achieve a great cause and stand tall with Cao Cao.
Zhou Yu judged Liu Bei's potential and ambition, not only because the latter was known as the Xuande of learning and being rich in five cars, but also because this person was very strategic and good at forbearance. On the surface, he looks like he is repeated, but in fact, he is waiting for an opportunity to move, step by step.
In the Battle of Chibi in 208 AD, although Zhou Yu defeated the Cao army, he also witnessed the bravery of the Shu Han army. Liu Bei used his soldiers like a god, and related Yu Zhang Fei and other fierce generals helped each other, and his hidden strength was never lost to his own side. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have alarm bells in his mind.
If Liu Bei is allowed to sit big, then Soochow will inevitably suffer great pressure in the future. So Zhou Yu suggested that Sun Quan, while Liu Bei was not yet fully seated in Jingzhou, take active countermeasures to restrict its development. As soon as this remark came out, people deeply felt that he knew the general situation and knew the destiny of heaven. Regrettably, Sun Quan, the ruler of power, did not take this advice to heart in the slightest.
Many years later, the strength of Eastern Wu gradually increased, and it was already able to compete with Cao Wei and Shu Han. However, the relationship between the two families has also deteriorated amid grudges. Zhou Yu's prophecy came true, and Sun Quan knew nothing. When he received the urgent report that Liu Bei's army was coming again, he exclaimed, "Liu Bei won't be so treacherous", obviously still confused by appearances.
Because of the dispute over Jingzhou, the junior Sun Quan repeatedly humiliated Guan Yu, which aroused the anger of Liu Bei, the emperor of Shu Han. Zhou Yu's advice became a reality, and Sun Quan knew nothing. In the winter of 219 AD, with Cao Cao's acquiescence, Sun Quan ordered Lü Meng to lead an army to attack Xiangyang, capture Guan Yu alive and behead him. This was undoubtedly a direct blow to Liu Bei's face.
Liu Bei was furious and vowed to avenge his second brother. The following year, he personally led a large army to attack Eastern Wu, and he was humiliated. The two sides fought a fierce battle until 222 AD.
According to the spy report, Liu Bei personally led the elite army to attack this time, claiming to be 80,000, and the momentum was violent. Sun Quan's government and the opposition were shaken, but the worst thing was that the army's morale was obviously weakened, and almost no one dared to fight.
At this moment, Sun Quan finally remembered in his mind that Zhou Yu once said that "it is like raising a tiger". However, it was too late, and Liu Bei's army was like no one. If it weren't for the young commander Lu Xun to turn the tide, I am afraid that the good times of the withered trees in Dongwu would not be guaranteed.
It is said that when Lu Xun stepped forward to fight, his subordinates were trembling. Only he was not afraid of hardships and obstacles, dealt with it calmly, and finally waited for work at ease and broke the Shu army. Since then, he has become famous. Thinking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help but sigh for the light enemy back then. It is no wonder that Zhou Yu was worried when he was dying, and repeatedly told his descendants to guard against Shu Han, it turned out that he had already seen this layer.
The hardest thing in life is foresight. Zhou Yu's sentence "Liu Bei is like raising a tiger" is a far-reaching warning. During his lifetime, he struggled to support the fertile soil of Soochow; At the end of his life, he looked at thousands of miles to ensure that the great rivers and mountains would not be destroyed.
And we do have some valuable lessons to learn from this history. At any time, we should not take it lightly and underestimate the strong enemy in the opposition; We should not only indulge in short-term interests and ignore long-term development.
There is a reason for what people do. If we can think long-term and think carefully, we may be able to be like Zhou Yu and leave no regrets. Only by grasping this historical lesson can we learn from it and not repeat the mistakes of the past.
