When Liu Bei was lonely, why did he choose Li Yan?

Because Li Yan is notoriously honest in Shu Han, let him confirm his last words and reduce trouble for Zhuge Liang.

1. Liu Bei is considered an outsider in Yizhou, in order to gain a firm foothold, he must win over the Yizhou forces, of course, he must promote and reuse the original forces in Yizhou, and Li Yan not only has political ability, but also military talent, so Liu Bei reused him to gain the support of the Yizhou clan.

Second, Liu Bei needs to use the strong strength behind Li Yan to contain Zhuge Liang, so as not to make the latter's power arbitrarily make his son Liu Chan completely an ornament.

Because Li Yan's military ability is very good, and he is deeply trusted by Liu Bei, let Li Yan manage the military and can check and balance Zhuge Liang.

Still wary of Zhuge Liang, afraid that his son would be incompetent, Zhuge Liang called the poem a rebellion, and let his Wei State fall into the hands of others, this is to control Wang Yue Zhuze or Ge Liang.

The main purpose is to be able to involve Li Yan and Zhuge Liang and form an opposing situation.

Because Li Yan is very talented, Liu Bei trusts him very much, and Zhuge Liang has other tasks.

Because Zhuge Liang's ten Northern Expeditions all failed, Liu Bei could only let Li Yan manage the military in order to prevent another failure.

Because he didn't fully trust Zhuge Liang and was afraid that Zhuge Liang, who was in power, would be unfavorable to Liu Chan, he handed over the military power to Li Yan and let him form a check and balance on Zhuge Liang.

Yes, in fact, he was orphaned by both of them. Because Liu Bei was not at ease with Zhuge Liang, he was worried that Zhuge Liang would seize power in the future, so he entrusted Li Yan and Zhuge Liang to let the two of them check and balance each other, so that Liu Chan's throne could be stable.

Liu Bei was entrusted to Zhuge Liang, but Liu Bei was jealous of Zhuge Liang's ability, so he chose Li Yan as Liu Chan's deputy, Liu Bei's original intention was that Li Yan clamped down on Zhuge Liang and prevented Zhuge Liang from usurping the throne.

Because he didn't have absolute trust in Zhuge Liang, he had to call Li Yan and let them check and balance each other.

Liu Bei was in order to prevent Zhuge Liang's family from becoming dominant and threatening the imperial power, so in order to divide power, he entrusted Li Yan with Gu.

This is because Liu Bei wants to use Li Yan to balance Zhuge Liang, so that he can protect the rule of the Liu family and better protect Liu Chan.

Because Zhuge Liang's work was focused on the internal affairs of Shu at that time, he wanted to assist Liu Chan in managing Shu well, and there were many things, and Li Yan's military talent was relatively strong, so he handed over the military power to him.

It was because Zhuge Liang already had a high prestige in the court at that time, and Liu Bei was afraid that Zhuge Liang's power would become bigger and bigger, so he handed over the heavy responsibility to Li Yan and wanted to use Li Yan to restrain Zhuge Liang.

Because Liu Bei did not fully trust Zhuge Liang, he was worried that he would stand up for himself with great power, so he gave Li Yan the military power to balance Zhuge Liang.
