ps: I continue to recommend Chang Huanxi¡¯s new book "Super Ambiguous Master". This is a good book that is a little coquettish, a little slutty, a little funny, a little connotative but not too much. <-¡·
There used to be a saying, "Only Chu has talents, and this is where it flourishes", which means that Chu has talents, especially where talents flourish.
Let¡¯s not mention the group of founding heroes who emerged in the 20th century, but only some of the talents Lu Bu has seen with his own eyes now: Pang Tong, Ma Liang, Ma Su, Liu Ba, Jiang Wan, Pan Rui, Liao Li, Huang Zhong, Li Yan, Wenpin , Huo Jun, Xiang Lang, and if you count Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Sima Hui who had interacted with Jingzhou, as well as Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong who lived in seclusion here, it can be said that there are many talents.
The reason is that Jingzhou was an academic center during the war period in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The relatively peaceful environment here provided conditions for cultivating outstanding talents. The most famous academic leaders are Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Song Zhong and others, each of whom had many disciples.
Pang Degong is the leader of the local gentry, and Sima Hui is from Yingchuan. He regards Degong as his elder brother and is called Mr. Shuijing by Degong. The two are so close that they can't tell each other apart. Duke Pang De asked his son Pang Tong to meet with Sima Hui. Pang Tong was praised by Hui as the crown of Nanzhou. Duke Pang's son Pang Shanmin married Zhuge Liang's sister. Zhuge Liang paid homage to Duke Pang every time. Duke Pang called Zhuge Liang Wolong and Pang Tong Fengchu. These two junior students were recommended to Liu Bei by Sima Hui. Other famous students of Sima Hui include Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Meng Jian, and Cui Zhouping. Historically, Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang De, and Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Meng Jian, etc. all entered the Wei Dynasty. Pang Shanmin served as Huangmen Libulang, Xu Shu censor Zhongcheng, Shi Taodian agricultural school captain, and Meng Jianzhengdong general. Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei, and Pang Tong first served as Zhou Yu's meritorious officer. Later, he followed Liu Bei and died in battle. He was the main counselor who entered Shu.
Song Zhong has a sincere heart. The courtesy name is Zhongzi, a native of Zhangling, Nanyang. In the romance, after Liu Biao's death, he surrendered to Cao Cao on behalf of Liu Biao's successor Liu Cong and general Cai Mao. On his way back, he passed by Xinye. Obtained by Guan Yu, Liu Bei learned that Liu Cong had surrendered to Cao Cao, and Liu Bei released him after rebuking Song Zhong. Liu Bei was a man who fished for fame. The reason why he released Song Zhong was because he did not dare to kill Song Zhong due to his reputation.
Song Zhong was a great Confucian who co-edited the "Five Classics Chapters" with the scholar Qi Wukai, and made certain contributions to the development of legal studies in the late Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties. He admonished Yin Mo, the official of Shu, Wei Wei general Wang Su, scholar Li Zhuan, Wu Taichang and Pan Jun both studied under him. Although most of these figures have no reputation, they have affected the situation of the Three Kingdoms to a certain extent. For example, Pan Jun, whose existence had an indelible impact on the Shu Han Liu Bei Group.
Pan Jun, courtesy name Chengming, was born in Hanshou, Wuling, and was the cousin of Jiang Wan, an important minister of the Shu Han Dynasty. Pan Jun is a wise man. There is a mechanism to the question. When Pan Jun was 21 years old, he studied under Song Zhong and was appreciated by Wang Can, a Shanyang native who was one of the seven sons of Jian'an. As a result, he became famous and was appointed by Liu Biao to work in Jiangxia. At that time, the county magistrate Sha Xian was involved in corruption and was investigated and executed by Pan Jun, which shocked and horrified the whole county. Later he served as the county magistrate of Xiangxiang, and his governance was quite famous. Later, Liu Bei led Jingzhou. Pan Jun was appointed to be in charge of governing the country. Liu Bei entered Shu and left Pan Jun in charge of Jingzhou affairs. However, Guan Yu, the general who guarded Jingzhou, had a bad habit of disrespecting the scholar-bureaucrats. He was at odds with Pan Jun, and the civil and military discord made Jingzhou uneasy. It can be said that a large part of the reason why Jingzhou was occupied by Lu Meng was due to the discord between Guan Yu and the chief executive Pan Jun.
Sun Quan attacked and killed Guan Yu, annexed the land of Jingzhou, and all the generals and officials surrendered. Pan Jun, the only one who claimed to be ill, did not go to see him.
Sun Quan sent someone to Pan¡¯s house in a car and brought the bed with him. Pan Jun lay face down on the bed mat and refused to get up. Tears crisscrossed his face, and he couldn¡¯t control his sorrowful sobs. Sun Quan expressed condolences and talked to him, wiped Pan Jun's face with a towel, and Pan Jun got up and went to the ground to thank him. Sun Quan used Pan Jun as his ruler, and all the military forces in Jingzhou consulted Pan Jun, and Jingzhou quickly settled down.
The Wuxi barbarians rebelled, and Sun Quan asked Pan Jun to take the holidays and supervise the troops to attack them. Pan Jun believed that he would be rewarded, and tens of thousands of them were beheaded and captured alive. Each barbarian tribe was fatally wounded and weakened from then on, and the Wuxi area returned to peace.
At that time, Pan Jun's uncle Jiang Wan from Lingling was the general of the Shu Han Dynasty. Someone informed Pan Jun to the Wuling Grand Guard, saying that Pan Jun sent a secret envoy to exchange news with Jiang Wan, which meant that he was relying on the Shu Han Dynasty. Wei Jing informed Sun Quan of this, and Sun Quan said, "Cheng Ming will not do such a thing." He immediately sealed the letter Wei Jing presented to Pan Jun, summoned Wei Jing back, and removed him from his official post.
Previously, Pan Jun and Lu Xun were both stationed in Wuchang and jointly took charge of the capital affairs. After Pan Jun returned to the army, he returned to his old post. At that time, Lu Yi, the commander of Zhongshu Dian, was stealing power and exercising authority without authorization. Pan Jun and General Lu Xun were worried about the country, and they shed tears every time they talked about it. Lu Yi impeached Prime Minister Gu Yong, Zuo General Zhu Ju and others, and they were all banned from meeting him. Xie Hong, the assistant minister of Huangmen, asked Lu Yi during a casual chat: "How is Gu Gong's situation?" Lu Yi replied: "Not optimistic." Xie Hong asked again: "If Gu Gong is dismissed, who will replace him? Before Lu Yi could answer Xie Hong, Xie Hong asked, "Is it Pan?"?Have you often held this position? Lu Yi thought about it for a long time and said, "It should be just as you said." Xie Hong told Lu Yi: "Pan Taichang hates you every time, just because Wuchang is far away and there is no way to do anything." If you come to replace Gu Gong today, I'm afraid I'll kill you tomorrow. "Lu Yi was greatly frightened, so he eliminated Gu Yong's matter. Pan Jun asked to return to the court and went to Jianye, intending to use all his words to express his admonishment. After arriving, he heard that the prince Sun Deng had spoken about the matter several times but refused to do so. After being accepted, Pan Jun held a banquet for hundreds of officials and planned to kill Lu Yi himself during the banquet. He would die to apologize for his arbitrary behavior and at the same time take his own life to eliminate disasters for the country. Lu Yi heard the secret report and said he was ill and would not go. Pan Jun always spoke bitterly about Lu Yi's treachery and insidiousness every time he met. Because of this, Lu Yi's favor declined step by step, and he was later found out and executed. Sun Quan blamed himself and apologized to the ministers.
From the perspective of the Shu Han, it feels a bit pity that because Guan Yu had a bad relationship with Pan Jun, the Shu Han lost such an upright general. From Pan Jun's point of view, we can't help but feel a little relieved for him. Not only did he find a Ming master who was truly suitable for him, but also because he died before Lu Xun in the second year of Chiwu, he would not have to see his old friend in Chiwu. He was angered to death by Sun Quan in eight years; we really don¡¯t know what would have happened if he had an upright character and suffered the events of Chiwu in eight years. Pan Jun is a big man whose status in Sun Quan's heart is equal to that of Lu Xun.
People in later generations who grew up watching the novel always thought that Guan Yu was a god and everything he did was correct. But just from the changes in Pan Jun's situation, we can see what kind of character Guan Yu is. In short, Lu Bu will never let such an arrogant, unruly, and discordant military general go. To guard Jingzhou, a place surrounded by enemies on both sides, in fact, Zhang Fei might not be worse than Guan Yu if he was asked to guard Jingzhou at that time.
Pan Jun and Jiang Wan came together to meet Lu Bu. Lu Bu treated both of them very well. Both of them were talented people in power, and they were talents that Lu Bu would need very much in the future. After all, the world would soon be unified, and Lu Bu no longer needed many military talents but a lot of political talents.
Jiang Wan, courtesy name Gongyan, was born in Lingling, Xiangdong, and his cousin Pan Jun was well-known in the world. Historically, Jiang Wan followed Liu Bei and came to Shu as a state official. Promoted to governor of Guangdu County. Jiang Wan felt extremely unworthy of his position as county magistrate, so he ignored everything and got drunk all day long. Once, Liu Bei went out to inspect Guangdu. Jiang Wan was too drunk to go to greet him. Liu Bei became furious. Severe penalties will be imposed. Zhuge Liang persuaded: "The weapon of Wan Sheji is not a hundred-mile talent. Government is to ensure the peace of the people. It is not necessary to modify it, but it is willing to observe it." Liu Bei respected Zhuge Liang's opinion and only dismissed him from his post without adding any more responsibilities. When Liu Bei was the king of Hanzhong. He was appointed as Shangshulang in charge of documents, and later served as Zhuge Liang's Dongcao Rong, Joining the Army, Chief of the Prime Minister's Office and General of the Fu Army, etc., and became an important assistant to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang's southern and northern expeditions. Liu Wan was in charge of the affairs of the Prime Minister's Palace, and lived up to his trust. He sat in Chengdu, always provided enough food and troops, and provided the front line.
Zhuge Liang fell ill at Wuzhangyuan on the front line of the Northern Expedition. Before his death, he secretly wrote a letter to his successor Liu Chan: national affairs should be entrusted to Jiang Wan. Liu Chan followed Zhuge Liang's instructions and successively appointed Jiang Wan as Shangshu Ling, Yizhou Governor, General, and Anyang Pavilion Marquis. Zhuge Liang suddenly died of illness on the front line of the war. There was a strong enemy Wei army outside, and Yang Yi and Wei Yan were at odds with each other inside. The court was enveloped in an atmosphere of panic, but Jiang Wan was confident and calm. Politically, Jiang Wan faithfully implemented Zhuge Liang's plans, was wise in making decisions, and governed the country according to the law. He did not like obedience and did not listen to slander. Therefore, the officials were happy to obey and were willing to serve.
Jiang Wan stationed in Hanzhong for six years, but failed to realize his plan for the Northern Expedition. He also remembered that when Zhuge Liang was still alive, he sent troops to Qinchuan several times, but failed to capture Qinchuan due to the difficult roads and transportation difficulties. So he changed his strategy and planned to build more ships and sail eastward from the waterway. He attacked Wei State. Jiang Wan stationed himself in Fuling, taking advantage of Fuling's water and land connections to coordinate things from east to west. Unfortunately, he was seriously ill and his success failed.
Jiang Wan and Pan Jun were both talented prime ministers and assistants, but they were only about thirty years old now. Lu Bu asked them to serve as Grand Sima Fu by his side for half a year, and then studied at the Political College of Luoyang Central University for half a year. He was sent to the county where the situation was bad at the border of Jingzhou and Yizhou as a county magistrate, and then gradually promoted.
Lu Bu has two arrangements for the talents he has acquired so far. Those over forty years old will be fixed. There is no need to train at the grassroots level. However, it is basically difficult for his growth and development to exceed historical achievements. Those under forty years old, Those who are savvy should be trained at the grassroots level and promoted gradually. They must be exposed to the sufferings of the people. Otherwise, they will be promoted too quickly, which will not be good for themselves or the country. The ironclad evidence of history has long shown that the method of encouraging young people is to encourage them and to promote them by airplane. Most of the talents will be of no benefit to the country.
After Jiang Wan and Pan Jun, another person took refuge with Lu Bu. He was Liao Li.
Liao Li, whose courtesy name was Gongyuan, was from Linyuan, Wuling. In history, Sun Quan sent an envoy to get along with Liu Bei and asked Zhuge Liang who in the world has the talent to navigate the world? Zhuge Liang replied: "Pang Tong and Liao Li are both extraordinary people in Jingchu area", which fully affirmed Liao.?'s talent.
After Liu Bei became the shepherd of Jingzhou, he enlisted Liao Li to work for him. Liao Li was promoted to the post of governor of Changsha when he was less than thirty years old. In the 20th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan sent Lu Meng to attack the three counties of Jingnan. Liao Li fled without fighting. After he fled back to Chengdu, Liu Bei always appreciated him and did not blame him. He also appointed him as the governor of Bajun. Later, when Liu Bei became the king of Hanzhong, he also appointed him as the minister. After Liu Bei's death, Liu Chan ascended the throne and demoted Liao Li to the rank of Captain of Changshui.
Liao Li prided himself on being aloof, believing that his talents were only inferior to Zhuge Liang's, but his status was not as good as Li Yan's. He was dissatisfied with his position and began to criticize current affairs. He even criticized the late emperor Liu Bei for his repeated missteps, which led to the destruction of Jingzhou, the death of Guan Yu, and the death of Guan Yu. The defeat of Yiling led to the loss of soldiers and generals, etc., but he forgot that Liu Bei had always appreciated him. Liu Chan could not bear it and exiled him to Wenshan County. Liao Li later learned of Zhuge Liang's death in the exile, and wept and sighed: "I will always be the leftist." That's it!" Because Jiang Wan, Dong Yun and others after Zhuge Liang couldn't control him at all, and they didn't dare to use him again.
Lu Bu talked with Liao Li and found that he was indeed talented. He might be as talented as Jiang Wan and Pan Jun whom he had just met. To Liao Li, Liao Li thought deeply for a moment and bowed his head to accept. Lu Bu also took him with him to teach him for half a year, and then he was sent to Luoyang Central University School of Political Science for half a year to study, and then he was sent to work below. If he could overcome the flaws in his personality, After repairing it, Lu Bu would still continue to reuse him. If he couldn't repair it, there was nothing that could be done. After all, Lu Bu was not a dream mentor. Moreover, the Han Dynasty was full of talents, and the ruling talents came one after another. Liao Li was not missing.
