"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. In this world, it is common for three people to become tigers!"

"Haha, Gongyuan (Liao Li), if the Guan family and his son are really at odds, why would the second general send me to Changsha County to see you?"

Talking to Liao Li, the governor of Changsha.

It was none other than Liao Hua, the current boss of Guan Yu, a wealthy local family that had lived in Mienan for a long time.

Different from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liao Hua was born as a yellow turban thief.

The real Liao Hua was a true son of a wealthy family, versatile in both civil and military affairs, far beyond the comparison of Zhou Cang and his ilk.

People say - "There are no generals in Sichuan, so Liao Hua becomes the vanguard".

The original meaning is a metaphor for the lack of good hands in doing things and letting people with average abilities take charge.

But this sentence simply made Liao Hua "black to the end"...

Liao Hua in history was not mediocre in ability, versatile in both civil and military affairs, capable of planning and fighting, he could be called a generation of famous generals with unparalleled loyalty!

In fact, Liao Hua did not start his official career as a "warrior".

He is a real clan member and a cultural person...

I have been doing clerical work for decades.

For example, during the Jingzhou period, he was the leader of Guan Yu's men.

During the middle Shu period, he was an important adviser to Zhuge Liang.

If it develops according to the original trajectory of history, Guan Yu will be defeated in Maicheng.

After the nest is overturned, the eggs are not finished.

At that time, Liao Hua swallowed his anger in order to save his life.

In fact, as a local "wealthy clan", as long as Liao Hua was willing, he could easily help the Wu army collect Guan Yu's remnant army and reduce their soldiers, thereby making a meritorious service and becoming Sun Quan's guest.

But what Liao Hua staged was an almost perfect reproduction of the "Guan Gong" version - "I am in the Wu camp and my heart is in the Han Dynasty!"

Being mediocre and living an ignoble existence.

Liao Hua, who had devoured Sun Quan's food for several years in vain, when he heard the news of Liu Bei's attack on Soochow, he immediately pretended to be ill and died suddenly. He took the opportunity to escape with his family and children overnight and met with the Shu army.

Liu Bei was also moved by such a brave and loyal talent, and specially named him the governor of Yidu.

Since then, Liao Hua's career has reached a new level.

But in fact, Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition was a failure because he misused Ma Di.

This made Zhuge Liang be extra cautious when using civilian officials in the subsequent Northern Expedition.

As Zhuge Liang's trusted and valued civil servant "Liao Hua", Zhuge Liang was extremely cautious in using him, always letting him stay at the rear to make plans and manage logistics.

The purpose of this is to keep Ma Su's lessons learned clearly in mind.

Firstly, Zhuge Liang wanted to stop everyone's criticism, and secondly, it was Zhuge Liang's way of protecting Liao Hua.

The real opportunity to lead an army was after Zhuge Liang died in Wuzhangyuan.

When Jiang Wei took over the power of the army, it was time to appoint people, and Liao Hua, who was in Zhuge Liang's inner circle, naturally became the best candidate.

This is what is called - "There are no generals in Shu, so Liao Hua will be the vanguard."

Then in 238 AD, Liao Hua led his army to attack Wei Guoyingzhai. Facing the arrival of enemy reinforcements, he calmly commanded, surrounded the point for reinforcements, killed the prefect of Nan'an County and the prefect of Guangwei County on the spot, and led his army to a great victory.

In 248, Liao Hua repelled the attack of Wei general Guo Huai at Chengchong Mountain and successfully responded to the troops of Liangzhou who came to seek refuge.

In 249, Liao Hua led his army to fight against Wei general Deng Ai, and held Deng Ai's army back for several days so that Jiang Wei could attack Yongzhou.

In 263, the seventy-year-old Liao Hua led his army to Jiange and participated in the blocking battle, preventing Zhong Hui from moving forward.

In nearly thirty years of fighting, Liao Hua never made any big mistakes and made many extraordinary achievements!

He can even fight against famous generals such as Deng Ai and Zhong Hui without being defeated.

Therefore, his sister's statement "There are no generals in Sichuan, and Liao Hua is the vanguard" is simply an insult to this famous general!

There is no doubt about Liao Hua's strategic ability.

Although such generals are not as good as famous generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jiang Wei, they have a place in the history of Shu Han.

The most awe-inspiring place is when the Shu Han Dynasty fell.

Liao Hua, who was over seventy years old and had worked hard for more than forty years to revive the Han Dynasty, was arranged to move to Luoyang as a surrendered general.

When he was about to leave his hometown, Liao Hua passed away suddenly on the road.

Even his heroic soul

——Always stay in the dreamland of Shu.

This is Liao Hua's career.

certainly…

What I want to tell now is another story.

Today's Liao Hua is only the leader of Guan Yu, and his status in Jingzhou is far from high.

But for Liao Li, Liao Hua's identity is meaningful and crucial.

From the genealogy of "Li Gong" and "Shi Gong" recorded in the "Chu Guogong Genealogy" of later generations, we can infer that Liao Hua and Liao Lin are uncles and brothers.

Since the Liao family received the surname in ancient times, there have been two branches of the same lineage.

According to one legend, during the "Western Zhou" period, King Wen of Zhou had a son named Boliao, who descended from Boliao to Liao Li during the Three Kingdoms period.

The other branch is earlier, even earlier than the Yao and Shun period. The Yellow Emperor had a grandson named "Shu An" and his surname was Liao. From "Shu An" to Liao Hua during the Three Kingdoms period.

In the Liao family tree, it has always been said that "there was Shu An at the beginning and Bo Liao after him".

As a descendant of the "Shuan" faction of the Liao family during the Three Kingdoms period, Liao Hua undoubtedly became the "root" of the Liao family.

Speaking in human terms is...

The Liao family is a family that pays great attention to exploring their ancestors and roots.

The reason why Liao Li is proud is because of the pride in the blood of the "Liao" family.

But Guan Gong actually sent Liao Hua to protect the fourth son Guan Lin.

This was an obvious signal for Liao Li.

This means that the Fourth Young Master Guan Lin is acting unscrupulously in Changsha County, and Liao Li cannot stop him.

"Haha..." Liao Li laughed at this moment, "Guan Gong is not worried about the Fourth Young Master, nor is he worried about me as the prefect of Changsha. Having said that, if it weren't for you, 'Yuan Jian', I really couldn't let him go according to my temper. This Fourth Young Master is acting recklessly."

Liao Li was once evaluated by Zhuge Liang as "the outstanding talent of Chu", on par with Pang Tong.

Historically, he boasted of his talent and the glory of the "Liao family".

He dared to comment that Guan Yu was incompetent in leading the battle and lost a piece of land in vain;

I dare say Ma Liang is only good at making peace with mud!

I dare to say that Wang Lian is a vulgar person who makes the people miserable.

If we say that Li Miao is the number one troll in the Shu Han Dynasty.

Then this Liao Li can be called "the first keyboard warrior in Shu Han".

The only person who can suppress him is Liao Hua, a member of the Liao family!

This is Chi Guoguo... the suppression of the "Yellow Emperor" bloodline.

But Liao Hua was laughing at this moment, "I think the second general is overly worried. It's just in Jingzhou and Changsha Administrative Office. What kind of trouble can the fourth son cause? I have to protect him personally. What's more, today's Isn't there nothing going on in Changsha County?"

"Who said everything is okay?" Liao Li immediately reminded, "Just now we received news that Zhuge Jin, the envoy from Soochow, and his son Zhuge Ke have just arrived in Changsha."

Hmm…

These words suddenly made Liao Hua cautious.

"Emissary from Soochow? Even if he is an envoy, he should go to Jiangling to meet with Guan Gong. How come he comes to Changsha?"

This matter is very sensitive.

Damn it, why are you in Changsha as an envoy if you don't go to see Guan Gong?

This is easily reminiscent of a series of conspiracies such as "estrangement" and "rebellion".

Liao Li explained for Zhuge Jin, "Recently, I heard that Lu Su, the governor of Soochow, suddenly fell ill. In my opinion, Zhuge Jin and his son probably came to ask the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing to go to Soochow for treatment."

As soon as these words came out, Liao Hua suddenly became energetic and blurted out subconsciously.

"——Zhang Zhongjing"

"how?"

"What a coincidence, the Fourth Young Master is here to bring Zhang Zhongjing back!" Liao Hua explained quickly.

Liao Li's eyes were fixed.

What a coincidence!
