As we all know, among the military generals of the Three Kingdoms, the first in terms of force value should be Lü Bu. But it is such a military general who is unparalleled in the world, but his character is not very noble. In history, he betrayed his master several times, was scolded by the people of the time as a "three-surnamed family slave", and immediately rebelled after each surrender, becoming capricious. In 198, Lü Bu again allied with Yuan Shu to openly rebel against Cao Cao, and defeated Liu Bei and Xiahou Huan successively.
In desperation, Cao Cao could only personally lead an army to attack Lü Bu, and soon surrounded Lü Bu's stronghold of Xia Pi. Three months later, Cao Cao's water flooded Pi, and many of Lü Bu's generals surrendered one after another, and Lü Bu himself had no fighting spirit, planning to let the left and right cut off their heads and dedicate them to Cao Cao, and the left and right attendants could not bear it. Later, Lü Bu pondered and thought that there might be a way out of surrender, so he went down to the city and personally surrendered to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao asked his men to tie Lü Bu tightly and then send it to him, and Lü Bu first asked Cao Cao to untie himself. However, Cao Cao sneered, "Shouldn't the military generals who killed several of their own lords be tied up a little stronger?" Lü Bu realized that his situation was not good, and once Cao Cao was unhappy, his head could fall to the ground at any time, so Lü Bu persuaded Cao Cao: "If you can get me, I will lead the cavalry of Cao's army to flatten the Central Plains and help you clear Liuhe and unify the world." ”
Cao Cao was indeed very hesitant to hear this, because the condition proposed by Lü Bu was very tempting, and Cao Cao had always had a heart of love, so Cao Cao almost planned to release Lü Bu on the spot and accept his surrender conditions, but he was afraid that he would also end up being killed after accepting Lü Bu. Just when Cao Cao was hesitating, Liu Bei, who was beside him, sneered at Cao Cao and said 10 words: "Don't see Ding Yuan Dong Zhuo's business!"
At this time, Cao Cao was so fooled by Liu Bei that he suddenly realized that he hurriedly ordered his men to drag Lü Bu out and kill him. Lü Bu saw that his glimmer of life had been ruined by Liu Bei, so before he died, he angrily shouted out a 7-character famous sentence: "The most believer in the big ear!" And Liu Bei secretly snickered after hearing it. Cao Cao then realized that he had been fooled by Liu Bei, but lü Bu had already been killed at this time. Although he was very dissatisfied with Liu Bei's plan of "borrowing a knife to kill people", after all, he and Liu Bei were now allies, so Cao Cao could not say anything, but could only sigh.
