Liu Bei, the character Xuande, although he was a relative of the Han Dynasty, he started from scratch, relying on his own diligent hands, leading Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to fight in the world, and finally occupied Jingzhou, Yizhou, Han and other places, established the Shu Han, and achieved success.
In the long river of history, Liu Bei is undoubtedly wise, but he has made 4 mistakes in his life, namely letting go of 1 wrong person, marrying 1 wrong person, killing 1 wrong person, and using the wrong 1 person.
First mistake: Misplaced 1 person
According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and The Biography of Guan Yu, Pei's note quoted the Shu Ji related records: Liu Bei and Cao Cao jointly attacked Lü Bu, attacked the city of Pi, and after killing Lü Bu, they returned to Xu Du together and accepted the reward. During a hunt, Guan Yu persuaded Liu Bei to assassinate Cao Cao when he was not paying attention, but Liu Bei did not agree. He believed that Cao Cao was a pillar of the state at that time, bent on considering the Han Dynasty and the Mountains, and was a great loyal subject. Later, Guan Yu also complained to Liu Bei that if he had killed Cao Cao when he was hunting, there would not have been so many defeats, and regret would be useless.
To tell the truth, if Guan Yu assassinated Cao Cao while hunting, it was still possible to succeed. We know that in the Battle of the White Horse, Guan Yu saw Yan Liang from afar, ran for a long distance, and stabbed the enemy general Yan Liang to death among thousands of troops and horses (Yu saw Liang Li Gai, and the spur was good among the crowds), and lifted the siege of The White Horse.
Xu Du hunted and assassinated Cao Cao and the white horse stabbed Yan Liang, which was more difficult? Naturally, the white horse stabbed Yan Liang to death. Guan Yu was able to break through Yuan Shao's army, such as entering the no-man's land to kill the enemy general, and returning smoothly, indicating that Guan Yu was strong in martial arts. With his skill, assassinating Cao Cao while Xu Du was hunting, even if Cao Cao had Xu Chu's protection, it would not help.
However, Guan Yu's idea was stopped by Liu Bei, and he also lost the best opportunity to get rid of Cao Cao. Liu Bei stopped Guan Yu from assassinating Cao Cao and let Cao Cao have a way to live, which was really wrong. Cao Cao later blackmailed Tianzi to order the princes to elevate Emperor Han, and his son replaced the Han Dynasty and established the State of Wei.
The Book of Shu related records: In the beginning, Liu Bei was in Xu and hunted with Cao Gong. During the hunt, the crowd dispersed, and Yu advised him to be prepared to kill the gong, but he was not prepared to obey. And in Xiakou, Fluttering River Nagisa, Yu Fury said: "In the past hunting, if you follow Yu yan, you can not have today's difficulties." "The time is also the ear of the country; if the Heavenly Dao is correct, it is not a blessing or evil to know this!" ”
The second mistake: marry the wrong person
In 208 AD, after the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan, in order to deepen his alliance with Liu Bei, married his sister to Liu Bei and called her Lady Sun, and was called Sun Shangxiang in folk opera. Although Lady Sun is a female stream, she admires her father Sun Jian and her brother Sun Ce, and also likes to dance knives and guns. She trained more than a hundred handmaidens who danced with knives and guns, and took them with her to show off their might. Every time a tyrant like Liu Bei went to Madame Sun's room and saw so many knives and guns in the boudoir, he was terrified.
In his lifetime, Liu Bei had "three major enemies", namely, cao cao's strength in the north, Sun Quan's threat in the east, and lady Sun on the pillow. Lady Sun flew high, and her men became even more rampant, making Jingzhou unstable. Liu Bei risked his life and crossed the river thousands of miles to marry a beauty, but it was a "scourge".
In order to solve this "scourge" around him, Liu Bei had to build a city for him in the west of the gong'an city and place Lady Sun and her maids and guards. In 211 AD, Liu Bei personally led a large army into Sichuan, perhaps for some reason why he was afraid of Lady Sun.
The third mistake: kill the wrong person
Liu Feng, originally the son of Luo Hou Kou, after Liu Bei saw it, he liked it very much, so he adopted him as an adopted son. After that, Liu Feng followed Liu Bei's southern expedition to the north, such as the Battle of Jinchuan, the Battle of Hanzhong, and the Battle of Shangyong, all of whom were pioneers and soldiers, bravely killing the enemy, and making many meritorious achievements.
However, Liu Feng made a small mistake, refusing when Guan Yu besieged Xiangyang and Fancheng and repeatedly asked Liu Feng and Meng Da to send troops to support. After Guan Yu was defeated and killed, Liu Bei blamed Guan Yu's defeat on Liu Feng and Meng Da.
Meng Da, fearing that Liu Bei would settle accounts after Qiu, also defected to Cao Wei with his parts, and in turn attacked Liu Feng and persuaded Liu Feng to surrender. Liu Feng refused Meng Da's persuasion to surrender, and after losing the three counties of Shangyong, fled back to Chengdu. Liu Bei accused Liu Feng of not cooperating with Guan Yu and failing to rescue Guan Yu in time when guan Yu's army was defeated, resulting in Guan Yu's death in battle and the loss of Jingzhou, so he was persuaded by Zhuge Liang to die.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Biography of Liu Feng": The seal is to the end, and the first lord blames the feng for invading Lingda, but does not save Yu. Zhuge Liang was worried about the fierceness of the seal, and it would be difficult to control the emperor after yi shi, so he persuaded the first lord to get rid of it. So he sealed himself and cut himself off.
To tell the truth, Liu Bei ordered Liu Feng to commit suicide, which was a self-destruction of the Great Wall. At that time, Guan Yu was already dead, Jingzhou and Shangyong were already lost, and killing Liu Feng would not help, it was better to keep Dai Guilt and make meritorious contributions. If Liu Bei kept Liu Feng, during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition in the later period, he was also a rare general and could be on his own. He killed Liu Feng by mistake.
Fourth mistake: use the wrong person 1
In 211 AD, Liu Bei entered Sichuan, in 212 he turned against Liu Zhang, in 213 Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun entered Sichuan to support, in 214 he conquered Luocheng, and soon Liu Zhang surrendered Kaicheng. At this time, Liu Bei's main force was in Yizhou, focusing on the development of Yizhou, and Jingzhou was handed over to Guan Yu, the first general under him. To tell the truth, Guan Yu, who has a lonely and arrogant personality, can completely defend Jingzhou militarily, but his emotional intelligence is insufficient, and it is difficult to handle the relationship with Eastern Wu and Cao Wei. I think that when Zhuge Liang entered the river, he asked Guan Yu about the strategy of defending Jingzhou. Guan Yu said that if Cao Wei attacked, he would lead his troops to resist, and if Cao Wei and Eastern Wu attacked at the same time, the troops would be rejected.
After Zhuge Liang listened, he felt bad, if Guan Yu really adopted this strategy, Jingzhou would be in danger. He gave Guan Yu eight characters: "North rejects Cao Cao, South and Sun Quan", as long as Guan Yu strictly follows these eight-character policies, Jingzhou will be foolproof. However, Guan Yu's nature was difficult to move, and although he promised Zhuge Liang at that time, after Zhuge Liang and the others left, he forgot these eight words outside the Cloud of Nine Heavens.
The final result is self-evident, Guan Yu blindly launched the Battle of Xiangfan, first won and then lost, and the rear was attacked by Eastern Wu Lü Mengqi, lost ground, lost Maicheng, and was captured and killed in Linfeng. Liu Bei's use of Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou was a mistake, even if he changed to Zhang Fei, he was stronger than Guan Yu, who was not good at interpersonal relations.
