    In addition to his inventive and creative talents, Liu Ye is also outstanding in his analysis of the enemy's situation and situation.

    Lu Bu gradually let Liu Ye participate in the intelligence analysis work, which fully demonstrated his trust in Liu Ye. Liu Ye was very grateful for Lu Bu's kindness and devoted himself to Lu Bu. Although he was a relative of Liu Han, he was under Lu Bu's  After trying his best to win over him, he completely became Lu Bu's loyal party.

    Lu Bu's trust in Liu Ye is the same as his trust in Jia Xu and Fazheng, second only to Guo Jia, Dong Zhao, Lu Fan and others.

    Lu Bu trusted him, not because Liu Ye was loyal, but because Liu Ye's talents really amazed Lu Bu.

    Historically, Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu who was defending Hanzhong and appointed Liu Ye as his chief secretary.  At that time, Zhang Lu's brother Zhang Wei led the troops to defend, and Cao Cao attacked various villages on Yangping Mountain. However, the mountain was steep and difficult to climb, and it was difficult to conquer. There were many casualties among the soldiers, and there was a lack of food. Cao Cao then planned to withdraw his troops and ordered Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu to call the people on the mountain.  The army retreated.  At this time, some troops mistakenly broke into Zhang Wei's camp at night. The soldiers in the camp were frightened and dispersed. Seeing this, Liu Ye, who was at the rear of the army, believed that he could win and persuaded Xiahou Dun and others not to retreat.  Xiahou Dun believed it after seeing it, so he went back and told Cao Cao. Cao Cao then attacked Zhang Wei, but Zhang Wei was defeated and retreated. Zhang Lu soon surrendered, and Cao Cao captured Hanzhong.

    Liu Ye then advised Cao Cao to attack Liu Bei's newly occupied Shu territory. He believed that the capture of Hanzhong would shock the Shu people. As long as they attacked, they would surrender. Otherwise, if Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others could stabilize people's hearts and hold on to dangerous positions, it would be difficult for them to do so in the future.  Conquer, but Cao Cao wouldn't listen.  Seven days later, some people who surrendered from Shu said that the people in Shu were in panic, and Liu Bei could not calm down the people by killing those who were frightened.  Cao Cao then asked Liu Ye if he could attack now, but Liu Ye said that the people of Shu were already relatively stable and could not attack. Cao Cao finally returned.

    After Cao Pi came to power, he asked the court officials whether Liu Bei would avenge Guan Yu, who was killed by Sun Quan when he attacked Jingzhou.  Most people think that Liu Bei is weak and his only famous general is Guan Yu. After Guan Yu's death, the country will be worried and will not start another war at all.  But Liu Ye believed that Liu Bei would definitely restore his prestige by sending troops, and believed that Liu Bei and Guan Yu were like brothers and would definitely avenge him.  In the end, Liu Bei attacked Sun Quan the following year.  Launched the Battle of Yiling.

    At that time, Sun Quan mobilized the whole country to deal with it and proclaimed the vassal status to Cao Wei. Many courtiers congratulated him, but Liu Ye believed that Sun Quan had no intention of surrender and he was only forced to proclaim the vassal status this time.  Liu Ye even suggested that Cao Pi take advantage of the situation and lead troops to attack Soochow to avoid future troubles.  But Cao Pi disagreed.  After Soochow's victory in the Battle of Yiling, Soochow gradually became disloyal, so Cao Pi planned to attack, but Liu Ye thought that Wu had just defeated the Shu Han, and everyone was united.  Moreover, there is a natural danger in the Yangtze River, so we cannot attack in such a hasty manner.  Cao Pi refused to listen, and later found out that Lu Xun had been prepared, so he had to withdraw his troops.

    Cao Pi personally attacked Soochow, led the army to Sikou, Guangling, and ordered the armies of Jingzhou and Yangzhou to advance together to attack Soochow.  At that time, many people thought that Sun Quan would personally lead the army to resist, but Liu Ye believed that Sun Quan knew that Cao Pi would only lead his army to Jiangbei to suppress the border.  The combatants crossing the river must be other generals, so they must be waiting to attack.  He won't take the lead in attacking.  In the end, Sun Quan did not come, and Cao Pi had no choice but to retreat.

    Wei Xi was very famous in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and officials below the prime minister made sincere friends with him.  Liu Bei's general Meng Da led his troops to surrender. Cao Pi regarded Meng Da very highly and appointed him as the prefect of the new city, and made him a regular attendant of Sanqi.  People at that time said that he had a lot of joy and perseverance.  When Liu Ye saw the two of them, he said that they would definitely rebel.  In the end, Wei Xi rebelled in Yecheng in the 24th year of Jian'an, while Meng Da corresponded with Zhuge Liang in the first year of Taihe, intending to rebel.

    In the first year of Taihe, Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui succeeded to the throne.  Liu Ye was granted the title of Marquis of Dongting, with a settlement of 300 households.  The following year, Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong forced his uncle Gongsun Gong to abdicate and established himself as the governor of Liaodong. Liu Ye believed that the Gongsun family had occupied Liaodong for a long time and relied on the barrier of sea and mountains. It might be as difficult to control them as the Hu people and even launch a rebellion. Liu Ye suggested that  When Gongsun Yuan first came to the throne, he unexpectedly sent troops to attack him, and offered rewards to lure his opponents to help. It may not be possible to solve the problem of Liaodong separatism by going to war, but in the end they were not accepted, and Gongsun Yuan also rebelled against Wei ten years later.

    From this point of view, Liu Ye is good at knowing people, and his fantastic theories are often contrary to everyone's opinions and are rarely adopted. However, they are all proved to be true afterwards. It can be seen that his ability to predict the enemy lies not in Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Jia Xu.  It is understandable that Lu Bu thinks highly of him.

    Lu Bu personally praised Liu Ye's talents many times. Liu Ye felt ashamed and said to Lu Bu: "Liu Ye has a good friend, his surname is Lu, his name is Su, and his courtesy name is Zijing. He is a talented person in the world!"

    Lu Bu smiled and looked at Zhou Yu, who was temporarily reduced to a guard next to him: "Gong Jin, I remember that Lu Zijing is also your good friend. What do you think of Zi Yang's words? Is Zijing really a talented person in the world?"

    Although Zhou Yu was demoted to a bodyguard, he was only twenty years old after all. He was both proud and arrogant. He was extremely confident in his own talents and his ability to recognize people: "The great ancestor once said that in strategizing, victory can be won thousands of miles away."  , I don¡¯tI am not as good as Xiao He in filling up the country, pacifying the people, paying and providing food, and constantly supplying food. I am not as good as Xiao He. Even with millions of people, I will win in battle and capture in attack. I am not as good as Han Xin.  Zi Yang, Gong Jin and I are comparable to Zhang Liang, Xiao He and Han Xin.  "

    Lu Bu shook his head slightly and said: "You three heroes of Huainan are comparable to the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. Zi Yang's talent is comparable to Zifang, and Gong Jin's talent is comparable to Han Xin. There is nothing wrong with such comparisons, but Xiao He is comparable to Zijing."  , I think it is inappropriate. Xiao He is good at governing but not good at running an army. Zijing has a great strategy. I would like to compare him to Deng Yu, the founder of this dynasty."

    Liu Ye and Zhou Yu looked at each other. They had known Lu Su for many years and their understanding of Lu Su was not as good as that of the Grand Sima who had never met Lu Su. They suddenly felt ashamed.

    Looking at the expressions of Liu Ye and Zhou Yu, Lu Bu knew that although they knew Lu Su's talent, they did not really understand where Lu Su's true talent was reflected. In fact, it was not just these two friends of Lu Su who had the illusion, but most of the later generations.  People have been misled by the novels, thinking that Lu Su was a benevolent elder, more than loyal and lacking in intelligence. He was often teased by Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's wits, and showed a fool's appearance. However, the novels are artistic creations, not historical records.  , from an artistic point of view, it can be called a wonderful work of art, but from a historical point of view, it is a reversal and distortion of history. Lu Su, who was active in the changes of history for a while, has no scheming for future generations.

    Lu Su was as wise and courageous as Zhou Yu. In terms of foresight and foresight, he was probably slightly better than Zhou Yu.

    In the Battle of Chibi, the Sun and Liu families defeated Cao Cao with the weak. This was largely due to the careful planning of Lu Su and Zhuge Liang.  After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was still stronger than Liu Bei and Sun Quan.  As a far-sighted politician, Lu Su knew this very well.  He believed that neither Sun Quan of Eastern Wu nor Liu Bei who occupied Jingzhou were enough to compete with Cao Cao.  There are three options before the two families: one is to unite to resist Cao Cao; the other is to fight independently; the third is to surrender without fighting and join Cao Cao.  Only taking the path of uniting to resist Cao Cao is the right choice.  Therefore, he continued to adhere to this strategic policy throughout his life and did his best for it.

    ??Below Sun Quan, Lu Su is the only one who understands politics and knows that without contacting Liu Bei, he cannot resist Cao Cao, so as to maintain Jiangdong's "Kingdom of Independence" and further aspire to dominate the Central Plains.  Under Liu Bei, only Zhuge Liang had such a vision. Zhuge Liang, like Lu Su, was the most visionary and outstanding strategist and diplomat in the Three Kingdoms era.

    Lu Su unswervingly adhered to the Sun-Liu alliance because he saw that the maintenance and consolidation of the alliance was related to the long-term interests of Jiangdong's life and death. This was the distinguishing feature of his far-sightedness.  Lu Su's life activities proved that he was the most outstanding politician, military strategist and diplomatic activist in Jiangdong.

    Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh for Yuan Shu: "Huainan is rich, with a household registration of one million, and there are talents like you, the Three Heroes of Huainan. Yuan Gongluo managed to get such a field, but it turns out that there are withered bones in the grave!"

    Under the guidance of Zhou Yu and Liu Ye, Lu Bu went to Linhuai to visit Lu Su.

    The reason why Lu Bu put down his attitude and went to conquer Lu Su in person was because he had indeed felt sorry for Lu Su in the past few years. He tried his best to restrict Lu Su from joining Sun Ce, and Lu Su was blocked by Yuan Shu and was not allowed to bring his family with him.  He led his troops north to join Lu Bu, wasting several years in vain.

    Because Huainan was already under the control of the Central Army, Lu Bu did not bring many men and horses, only more than a hundred guards. The only brave generals around him were Chen Dao and Sun Ce who were demoted to personal soldiers. In addition, there were a few good martial arts warriors.  Partial general.

    In order to understand the actual situation in Huainan, Lu Bu decided to disguise himself and visit Linhuai privately, pretending to be an ordinary merchant.

    Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Lu Fan and others were worried, so they asked Ma Chao to lead four thousand tiger and leopard cavalry to follow them, keeping a distance of twenty miles. In the event of an emergency, Chen Dao would sound the alarm, and Ma Chao would quickly follow up with his troops.

    Along the way, Lu Bu learned in detail about the people's livelihood conditions along the way, and found that the policies he had used in other places were still not suitable for Huainan, because Huainan had suffered from Yuan Shu's abuse for many years.  More funding assistance from the central court is needed.

    Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Liu Ye were puzzled at first when they saw that Lu Bu was very concerned about people's livelihood along the way. Later, they were gradually influenced by Lu Bu and expressed deep admiration for Lu Bu.

    Lu Bu knew that people like Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Liu Ye were all second-generation officials in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. If they were not allowed to personally experience the sufferings of the grassroots people, they would only think about problems from the perspective of their own class. Such people would defeat them.  I am afraid that sooner or later the country will make the same mistake as Liu Xiu did in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

    Every time Lu Bu visited privately incognito, he always found those children from aristocratic families to accompany him to experience the sufferings of the people, and let them experience the blood and tears of the lower class people, so that they could truly serve the people.

    Originally, Lu Bu could take a boat along the waterway to Linhuai, but Lu Bu could notSwimming, and if you are in danger on the water, it is not convenient to save yourself or others. Moreover, traveling down the Huaihe River is very fast, which is not convenient for Lu Bu to understand the people's sentiments, so Lu Bu chose to ride overland.

    Precisely because Lu Bu chose to travel on land, he met a stunning beauty. This beauty was the queen of Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan in history. To be precise, she was the nameless queen, Bu Lianshi.  (To be continued.) (To be continued.)
