The Three Kingdoms were originally a game of chess, but the people who played chess were Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, the three top strategists and military experts. At the time of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, there were a total of 18 princes in the world, and the fewest of them had tens of thousands of soldiers to dispatch. However, at this time, Liu Bei also became a force of his own, but there were only Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
According to the above, Liu Bei not only had no money, no power, and no power in the early stage, but he did not have territory. However, Liu Bei's Cao Cao at that time, or Sun Shi, they did not. What does Liu have? His greatest wealth at this time was that he had two iron brothers who could be born and die with him, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. And these two people are reliable iron brothers, they are all lifelong friendships. From this point of view, compared with Cao Cao and Jiangdong Sun, there is indeed no such figure.
This can be seen from sun Jian's suffering after Sun Jian was killed. (Sun Ce reluctantly recognized Yuan Shu as his righteous father and borrowed troops from Yuan Shu for development.) In order to avoid taking the road of Sun Ce, Liu Bei focused on the selection of talents from the beginning, and talents who can enter Liu Bei's eyes must not only have real ability, but also must be loyal, loyal to him, and loyal to things (Kuang Fu Han Room). In line with this characteristic of using people to recognize people, Liu Bei was driven by the identity of "Emperor of the Great Han", and after more than 20 years of hard work, he finally recruited Ruyi talents.
In terms of military generals, Liu Bei had: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Wei Yan, and a hidden master Chen Zhi, and another tiger general, who was surrendered by Liu Bei during the Battle of Hanzhong, and his name was Wang Ping. Wang Ping, needless to say, was the top pillar of the late Shu Han Dynasty, and his role was different from that of a small one, and the Wudang Flying Army he commanded was all elite soldiers who were one to ten. The last one is the most cautious and reliable general, he is Xiang Pet. This person was later praised by Zhuge Liang.
In terms of civilian ministers and strategists, Liu Bei also had zhuge liang, Pang Tong (died in 214), Fazheng, Liu Ba, and Li Yan.
Judging from the analysis, Liu Bei really wanted to support the Han Room, otherwise he would not have collected all the heroes who could recruit himself in the world. However, although Liu Bei got the hero of the world. However, he was the only one who missed his former two iron brothers, the good brothers of the past.
Liu Bei collected all the heroes of the world, but he leaked his own 2 iron brothers, and later became the great enemies of the Shu kingdom
Who are Liu Bei's missed iron brothers? First of all, let's talk about the first person, who knew Liu Bei earlier, and was earlier than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in terms of time. Moreover, at this time, he and Liu Bei were friends of life and death, because they lived in Zhuo County when they were young.
The first iron brother that Liu Bei missed was the trick. In the historical material "Sun Chu's Drawing Tablet", it is recorded: "Jun and Liu Bei Shao Chang He Shuo, the hero of the same contract, for the neck of the friend." From the records, it can be clearly seen that as early as liu bei's youth, Zhao Zhao and Liu Bei had a good friendship, and even a brotherly love for life. But then what? Liu Bei has been selling straw shoes and straw mats in the downtown area. I think it is also because of this that Liu Bei went against the way of pulling the move, and finally the lead went farther and farther.
Just imagine, how a frustrated Liu Bei can stop a teenager from pursuing his dreams. If it were you, you might not be able to accept living with a tramp. In order to make a name for himself as soon as possible, he initially defected to his boss Yuan Shao, who was still a good boss at the time, but Yuan Shao was brainless and had different government orders, and was eventually defeated by Cao Cao. After several turns, the trick finally defected to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao, like Liu Bei, had a first-class art of knowing people, and as soon as he came to his account, he was reused. Cao Cao initially appointed him as "engaged", and later his ability to pull began to stand out, and he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant of the Middle Guard, Guarding the Lieutenant of Xianbei and the Taishou of Yanmen. Guarding the border of Cao Wei at all times, it was actually guarding against the attacks of Shu Han and Eastern Wu.
At the time of Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang's plan was also recognized, and he took the lead in letting people set up a position so that Kirby could retreat without a fight, so that Zhuge Liang's plan could not succeed. Pulling, sure enough, there are two brushes. Being able to discern Zhuge Liang's plan led to the failure of the Northern Expedition. If Zhuge Liang knew that this person was Liu Bei's former good brother, how could he be embarrassed!
The second good brother that Liu Bei missed was Tian Yu. Speaking of Tian Yu as a person, it reminds people of a sentence, which is exactly what Liu Bei said. This saying has long been recorded in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms: "Tian Yu character guo rang, Yuyang Yongnu people also." Liu Bei's Ben Gongsun Zhanye, Yu Shi was young, self-entrusted to bei, prepared very strange. Preparing for the history of Yuzhou' assassination, Yu asked for his mother and old man to return, and prepared to weep and say goodbye, saying: "Hate does not become a big thing with the king." From the above records, it can be found that Liu Bei has recognized Tian Yu's ability, otherwise Liu Bei would not have said anything hateful and could not have done great things with Jun! At that time, Tian Yu requested that his old mother was old and needed to go home to take care of her. How could Liu Bei, who had always been on the lips of benevolence and morality, refuse Tian Yu's request? So Liu Bei could only tearfully agree.
However, after Tian Yu bid farewell to Liu Bei, he and Xian Yufu soon came together, and later Tian Yu directly defected to Cao Cao. We all know that Cao Cao had a characteristic in employing people, "employing people without doubt" to the ground like Tian Yu, a capable person like Cao Cao gave him the post of military strategist of the Xiangfu Province, and later directly promoted to Yiyang Taishou, Tian Yu's ability as a person was finally reflected in the territory he ruled.
Later, Tian Yu guarded Cao Wei's northern frontier for many years, and also repelled Kebineng, which was exactly the same as the trick. These two people can be said to be the same as the hero sees. At the same time, Tian Yu also defeated Sun Quan, so capable, he did not defect to Liu Bei's account after all.
Tian Yu, recruiting the two is really a rare talent, why didn't they defect to their former good brother Liu Bei after Liu Bei became famous and became the king of Hanzhong? Is it fear, Guan Yu Zhang Fei is embarrassed? If Liu Bei really got the help of Tian Yu and Zhao Zhao, it would be equivalent to Shu Han having two more Wang Ping. In this way, the Three Kingdoms of Wei Shu Wu, after all, who will spend it, this is still unknown. Maybe the person who can laugh to the end will change, maybe history will change.
Unfortunately, Providence tricked people, although Liu Bei and Zhao Zhao, Tian Yu, had a good friendship in the past, but in the end they became strangers, perhaps they were enemies in their lifetime, and it was difficult to even meet each other.
