Liu Bei's death actually shocked the northern part of Yizhou.

On his deathbed, Liu Bei entrusts his orphans from northern Yizhou to Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liao Li. In fact, although Zhang Fei is outstanding in military force and Liao Li is outstanding in intelligence, these two people are actually just auxiliary because of their embarrassing status. The real orphans are actually Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, the martial arts article, which is mainly Zhuge Liang in terms of internal affairs, and Guan Yu in terms of military affairs.

Liu Bei's plan was to let these two people cooperate with each other, work in their respective departments, and work together to protect this foundation in northern Yizhou.

However, the facts were not as smooth as Liu Bei had imagined. Just two months later, the first head-on conflict occurred between Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang after Liu Bei's death.

The origin of this conflict was that Zhuge Liang promoted Yang Yi to Guan Yu's army in an extraordinary manner.

In fact, given Zhuge Liang's current responsibilities in charge of internal affairs, it is actually normal to promote an official. However, Zhuge Liang did not discuss with Guan Yu and directly inserted Yang Yi into Guan Yu's army to join the army was a bit too much.

Because Yang Yi is Zhuge Liang's confidant, he has always advocated joining forces with Sun Quan to fight against Liu He. He is impatient and narrow-minded in nature and will retaliate against him, which makes Guan Yu very disliked. Now Zhuge Liang actually arranged such a person to work with him, and he is also a supervisory army, which makes Guan Yu very angry.

So when Yang Yi came to take office in the army, Guan Yu did not accept it at all. Even Guan Yu's adopted son Guan Ping directly ordered his personal soldiers Yang Yi to beat him with sticks.

After suffering such grievances, Yang Yi immediately cried to Zhuge Liang, saying that Guan Ping was not the one who beat him, but Zhuge Liang was actually the one who beat him.

Zhuge Liang naturally knew this, which was clearly Yang Yi's instigation. In fact, Zhuge Liang appointed Yang Yi, on the one hand, because he was attracted by Yang Yi's talent. Although this person was young, he was very talented in preparing food and grass, designated combat planning, etc. If he used it well, he would definitely be a good assistant to Guan Yu. Of course, on the other hand, this was also a test of Guan Yu to see if Guan Yu could accept his arrangements for him. Now he saw that Guan Yu was tough and did not accept his arrangements. Although he scolded Yang Yi, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

So Zhuge Liang took advantage of Guan Yu's return to Chengdu for business, and once again proposed the appointment of Yang Yi and clearly pointed out Yang Yi's talents.

However, Guan Yu opposed this, saying that Yang Yi was not good, and said that Yang Yi was arrogant and narrow-minded, offending people everywhere, and all the generals in the army did not like it, and was not suitable for the army. He hoped that Zhuge Liang would not arrange him.

Since Guan Yu strongly opposed it and the other party was also the minister who was entrusted by Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang naturally did not feel comfortable. Although his dissatisfaction became stronger and stronger, he did not feel comfortable in the situation of generals and ministers for the sake of Yang Yi, so he had to transfer Yang Yi to his side to do something.

Later, Zhuge Liang proposed some personnel appointments, which were all civil servants and were sent by Zhuge Liang to various places to be county magistrates, such as appointing Dong He as the prefect of Jian, Yi Ji as the prefect of Han Jia, Yin Mo as the prefect of Jiangyang, Li Hui as the prefect of Ba County, and Guan Yu also served as the prefect of Zitong, the Grand Governor of Western Sichuan, and the military commander of western Sichuan.

At the same time, he was preparing to send Qin Mi to Jiangdong to make peace with Sun Quan.

"Kong Ming, you, what do you mean?" Seeing these arrangements, even though Guan Yu was stupid, he knew that Zhuge Liang's intention was actually to adopt the strategy of connecting Jiangdong and fighting against Liu He. He couldn't help but be shocked and asked.

However, Zhuge Liang bowed and said, "General Guan, I will not hide it from it. The reason why Liang did this was mainly to make peace with Jiangdong, and it would be best to form an alliance to create a relatively stable environment for the development of our army. Wu and Shu had fought for many years, and both sides were exhausted. Although Wu was Liu He's in-laws, he did not trust him very much. Especially now, when the lord died of illness, Liu He not only did not unite with him to attack, but suppressed Sun Quan and ordered him not to send troops. This made Sun Quan doubt in his heart. If we had a good lord at this time, Sun Quan would definitely put aside his prejudices and be with us.

The area where our army borders Liuhe territory is now just Hanzhong, which is equivalent to using Sun Quan to defend the border for me. Our army only needs to station Baishui Pass to block Liuhe's army from the country. General Guan, you lead the army to guard himself, and we will develop ourselves while Liuhe's war with Sun Quan. Once we have the opportunity in the future, we may go north to the Central Plains and attack Chang'an. Even if we cannot, there is still a great hope of finding opportunities to capture Hanzhong. As long as Hanzhong is owned by our army, we can threaten Liuhe's Yongliang and Chang'an areas at any time, forcing him to divide his troops to guard..."

Guan Yu was shocked when he heard this and pointed at Zhuge Liang and said, "Hehe, Kong Ming, do you know what you are doing? If Qin Gong had not promised the report in front of the emperor and personally came forward to suppress Sun Quan, how could Chan'er be able to sit firmly? I am afraid that if Sun Quan does not need to attack at that time, my Yizhou will fall apart. Where is it today? Now you actually disregard the Qin Gong who has been kind to us, but instead make our great enemy Sun Quan. What do you have?

Being determined? I know that your brother has served in Jiangdong. Both of you are planning to achieve the alliance between Jiangdong and Yizhou in order to change the embarrassing situation of your enemies. But this is not the reason for you to betray my interests in Yizhou. Besides, I am Qin Gong in Yizhou, in order to achieve stable internal development, this is a strategy designated by my elder brother himself. How can you betray it? Before your elder brother's body is cold, you dare to change your elder brother's strategy without authorization. It's really a courageous!"

After all, Zhuge Liang was just a 23 or 24-year-old young man. Although he was extremely intelligent and calm, he was a little unbearable to be criticized by Guan Yu at this time. He said to Guan Yu: "General Guan, you must know that the reason why the lord died of illness was mainly stimulated by Liu He's enthronement of Sun Quan. He felt Liu He's capriciousness and disappointment with his future, so he died of depression. From this, Liu He was actually the mastermind who killed the lord. We want to avenge him for his lord.
