What is the ability of the elk? Why can his status in Shu Han surpass Zhuge Liang?

In 196 AD, when Liu Bei's wife was arrested, Lu Zhu deliberately married his sister to Liu Bei, and funded Liu Bei's army with 2,000 subordinates and gold and silver goods, so that he could regain his strength, so his status later surpassed Zhuge Liang.

First of all, Mi Zhu is older, as early as when Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou, Mi Zhu greeted Liu Bei and helped govern Xuzhou together, and Zhuge Liang knew Liu Bei when he defected to Liu Biao after losing Xuzhou. Secondly, Mi Zhu is Liu Bei's Yue in Shu Han's political relationship is special, as early as Xuzhou Liu Bei's wife was captured by Lu Bu Mi Zhu married his daughter to Liu Bei as Mrs. Mi, and finally because Mi Zhu is generous by nature and has the style of an elder, Liu Bei respects the elders and wants to be rewarded.

Mi Zhu funded a lot of gold and silver treasures when Liu Bei was in the most crisis, and married his sister to him, so he became Liu Bei's eldest brother, so Liu Bei crowned him "General Anhan", and his status was reasonable above Zhuge Liang.

There are two reasons why Mi Zhu's status in Shu Han can surpass Zhuge Liang, one is to follow Liu Bei earlier, and the other is that Mi Zhu is the largest sponsor of Shu Han, and Mi Zhu relies on loyalty and money.

01, Mi Zhu followed Liu Bei earlier. Mi Fang was originally engaged in Xuzhou Tao Qian, Tao Qian killed Cao Cao's father was retaliated by Cao Cao, Cao Cao led troops to Xuzhou, Tao Qian was defeated and invited Liu Bei and Tian Kai to support, Cao Cao had withdrawn when Liu Bei came. Since he did not know whether Cao Cao would attack Xuzhou again, Tao Qian placed Liu Bei in Xiaopei.

In fact, Mi Zhu did not have a good impression of Liu Bei at that time, but his younger brother Mi Fang was a loyal fan of Liu Bei, Tao Qian entrusted Xuzhou to Liu Bei before he died, and Mi Zhu passed Tao Qian's will to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei resigned, at this time Mi Zhu felt that Liu Bei was good, and once again supported Liu Bei to become the master of Xuzhou, Liu Bei agreed this time, and Mi Zhu officially followed Liu Bei. Later, Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu in Xuzhou, and when he was disheartened, Mi Zhu kept encouraging him, and slowly Liu Bei regained his confidence. After that, no matter what Liu Bei looked like, Mi Zhu always followed Liu Bei.

Mi Zhu also served as Liu Bei's diplomat several times, for example, when Liu Bei was ready to take refuge in Liu Biao, Mi Zhu was one of Liu Bei's diplomats, so after Liu Bei rose to power, he never forgot such a loyal old friend, and Mi Zhu's place was higher than Zhuge Liang, and the official was General An Han.

02, Mi Zhu is Liu Bei's biggest sponsor. The second reason for Mi Zhu's high status in Shu Han is that Mi Zhu is Liu Bei's biggest sponsor. Mi Zhu is a famous rich man in the Three Kingdoms, it is said that his ancestors are all high-level businessmen, with a family property of hundreds of millions, which can be called the ancient "Ma Yun".

This is also the reason why Tao Qian recruited Mi Zhu to engage in it, and Liu Bei was really weak in the early stage, Liu Bei had no family background, no money, and only Zhang Fei's slaughterhouse was sponsored in the early stage, but the slaughterhouse income was only so much.

But after Mi Zhu took refuge in Liu Bei, Liu Bei at least did not worry about money, whether it was his rebellion against Cao Cao, or his refuge in Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, and later he conquered the four counties of Jingzhou and entered Sichuan to attack Yizhou, which was all costly, but Liu Bei had this rich man, and there was no pressure at all。In the battle of Xiangfan, Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang surrendered to Eastern Wu, Mi Zhu tied himself up to confess his guilt, Liu Bei chose to forgive him, but Mi Zhu couldn't forgive himself, he was always ashamed in his heart, and finally died of depression.

Mi Zhu was the most important military advisor around Liu Bei in the early days, and was responsible for Liu Bei's rear financial armament in the later period, and was Liu Bei's most trusted person, he was originally a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, and married his sister to Liu Bei, not only supporting Liu Bei to run Xuzhou but also his own family, so his status will surpass Zhuge Liang, relying on these untidy and chaotic relationships.

Compared with Zhuge Liang, he began to follow Liu Bei a long time ago. Before Tao Qian died, he handed over Xuzhou to Liu Bei, and Mi Zhu was responsible for conveying the news. But Liu Bei refused, and at this time, Mi Zhu had a good impression of Liu Bei, and soon after, he began to officially follow Liu Bei.

And after that, no matter whether Liu Bei succeeded or failed, Mi Zhu always followed Liu Bei's side.

Mi Zhu's status in Shu Han did not surpass Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang's status in Shu Han was second only to Liu Bei, and Mi Zhu could not surpass Zhuge Liang in any case.
