Everyone knows that although Liu Bei's identity is the uncle of the Han Emperor, but the first half of his life was spent in a turbulent displacement, it was not easy for Xuzhou Mu Taoqian to give up the territory to him, but he was pried away by Lü Bu who defected to him, but in the end Lü Bu did not defend Xuzhou, and also lost his life, then, if Lü Bu sincerely came to assist Liu Bei, with his ability as the first military general of the Three Kingdoms, could he help Liu Bei sit in Xuzhou?
Why didn't Lü Bu really assist Liu Bei?
Let's first take a look at why Lü Bu can't really assist Liu Bei, Lü Bu this person although brave but short-sighted, was scolded by Zhang Fei as a "three-surnamed family slave", originally in that chaotic era, Lü Bu actually jumped a few more times, compared with Liu Bei, the frequency and frequency of Lü Bu's job hopping is not high, but he recognizes Dong Zhuo as a father, and also killed the "father", if you want to wash him white, said that he began to recognize the thief as a father, and later the prodigal son turned back to righteousness and killed his relatives.
Of course, Lü Bu's killing of Dong Zhuo is not a great righteousness to kill relatives, he has his own little nine-nine, the specific reason is in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Situ Wang Yun used mink cicadas to alienate the two people, and in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" there is no mink cicada, but it is indeed related to women, that is, Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo's maid of honor, he is afraid that Dong Zhuo will find out, they all say that there is a knife on the head of the color character, Lü Bu lives every day with the knife edge licking blood, naturally it is not good, so at the instigation of Situ Wang Yun, he killed Dong Zhuo, this act is unfaithful and unjust.
It is said that Lü Bu had courage and strategy, which can be seen from the fact that he fought a lot of defeats later, and was chased and beaten by Cao Cao for several years, and finally turned to Liu Bei.
Let's see what unreliable things Lü Bu did when he turned to Liu Bei, Lü Bu just saw Liu Bei, showed great respect, and said to Liu Bei: "We are both people from remote areas, I see that the princes of the Kwantung have raised an army against Dong Zhuo, after I killed Dong Zhuo, the result is that the Kwantung princes can't tolerate me, and they all want to kill me." Then he also invited Liu Bei into his inner tent, sat on his woman's bed, and asked the woman to give Liu Bei a salute, at this time he did not call Liu Bei Xuande Gong, but called his brother.
On this one thing alone, Lü Bu had at least three things wrong, Liu Bei was a relative of the Han Dynasty, how could he be a person from a remote area like him? This is one; let Liu Bei enter the inner tent and sit on the woman's bed, which is not in accordance with the number of etiquette, this is the second; there is no need for people to honor them, but to take advantage of words, this is the third. This can also be seen that Lü Bu is really a big boss and does not understand what etiquette. Therefore, Liu Bei felt that Lü Bu's speech was impermanent and unreliable.
Lü Bu has courage but is self-absorbed, and it is difficult to stay under the people for a long time, which can also be seen from his previous job-hopping experience. Liu Bei has always been known for his good understanding of people, but at that time, Liu Bei's strength was still very weak and he needed some helpers, so he temporarily took In Lü Bu.
Sure enough, according to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, the Preparation of the Eastern Strike Technique, the Cloth Raid took the Pi, and the Cloth returned to the Cloth. Cloth to prepare Tun Xiaopei.
Liu Bei went out to fight with Yuan Shu, and Lü Bu took the opportunity to occupy Liu Bei's base camp, and then co-opted Liu Bei. So much so that later, on the white gate floor, Lü Bu still wanted Liu Bei to intercede for him, and Liu Bei directly said: "Ming Gong did not see the matter of Ding Jianyang and Dong Taishihu!" Lü Bu was directly sentenced to death, presumably also revenge for Lü Bu's seizure of Xuzhou.
If Lü Bu really assists Liu Bei, can Liu Bei stand up?
So let's assume that Lü Bu can sincerely assist Liu Bei, so can Liu Bei rely on the power of Xuzhou to gain a firm foothold in the chaotic world? The answer is two possibilities, one is not standing, and the other is being able to stand.
Why is there two possibilities? Because the original proposition is a hypothesis, nature will affect the result according to the change of the conditional variable. Let's start with the reasons for not standing.
Although Lü Bu's force value is very high, but leading the army to fight is not a military general single-handed, the strategy is very important, to Lü Bu's strategy is fundamentally nonsense, from the fact that he was chased and beaten by Cao Cao, it can be seen, so if you add Liu Bei's strategy, can it work? The answer is naturally no, you think, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei, which are not ten thousand enemies, there are such a number of famous generals, why did Liu Bei always lose the battle in the early stage? The main reason was the lack of strategists, so although Liu Bei's generals were strong at that time, but the strategists were too weak, the obvious strategic deployment was almost meaningless.
In addition, the left side of Xuzhou is Cao Cao's sphere of influence, and the bottom is Yuan Shu's sphere of influence, which is at the point of being caught, so it is difficult to hold it.
So, how can it stand? That is, it is not enough for Lü Bu to sincerely assist, Lü Bu's men must also sincerely follow Liu Bei, the generals Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Zang Ba will not say much, the focus is on Lü Bu's chief strategist Chen Gong, to tell the truth, if Lü Bu could listen to Chen Gong's plan at that time, then Cao Cao could not defeat him at all, but unfortunately, Lü Bu had courage and strategy and loved to be jealous, preferring to listen to the woman's words than listen to the good strategy of the strategist, and also laid the groundwork for his failure.
However, if Chen Gong was willing to serve Liu Bei, judging from Liu Bei's thirst for talents at that time, he was bound to obey Chen Gong's plans, stabilize the territory, and then fight with Yuan Shao against Cao Cao, and the direction of the world would be rewritten.
I don't know if you think Lü Bu really assisted Liu Bei, can Liu Bei sit firmly in Xuzhou? Welcome to the comments section.
