As we all know, due to the political darkness of the central imperial court at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the weakness of imperial power, coupled with the excessive decentralization of power to the localities, it caused various separatist forces to support themselves and respect themselves, and wars continued to break out. At this time, the Han Dynasty's program was chaotic, the people suffered from bitter fruits, the number of Great Han Qi that lasted for hundreds of years seemed to be approaching, and the heroes Hao Jie all coveted the world, among which people like Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and others all emerged in such a background and became a hegemon.
In addition to the turmoil of the times, in addition to the emergence of many local heroes, there have also emerged countless strategists and soldiers who have conquered Xiao Yong, including Wen Hou Lübu, the "first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms" who is famous for his bravery. As a major hero of the Three Kingdoms period, Lü Bu is known as "Lü Bu among people, red rabbit among horses", and he and his mount red rabbit horse were once special objects in the hearts of people in that era of change. Because of his appearance, it had an important impact on the political and military pattern of the time, and he first attacked Dong Zhuo and Zhang Yan, and then defeated Yuan Shu, which made Cao Cao unfavorable.
The warlord Lü Bu can be said to have created many changes in the historical development of the Three Kingdoms, but in the end, due to the rebellion of his subordinates, he was finally captured by Cao Cao and folded in the White Gate Tower. However, even before Lü Bu was killed, he had shouted 7 words, which could have rewritten the history of the Three Kingdoms again, but unfortunately Cao Cao did not understand it at that time!
According to the "Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Lü Bu Biography": "Lü Bu character Fengxian, Wuyuan County Jiuyuan people also." To Xiao Wu to merge the state. Thorn Sting was originally a knight lieutenant, Tun Hanoi, with cloth as the main book, and treated him with great affection. It means that the warlord Lü Bu was born in Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, Hezhou (present-day Baotou City, Inner Mongolia), and later served in Hezhou because of his skillful bow horses and bravery. At that time, Ding Yuan, the assassin who was stationed in Hanoi, was very appreciative of Lü Bu and had a close relationship with him, and specially appointed Lü Bu as the main bookkeeper. After the death of Emperor Ling of Han, the forces of all sides of the Han court surged undercurrents, and as a leading general, Ding Yuan was summoned to Beijing by the general He Jin and plotted to kill the eunuchs and seize power.
As a result, He Jinxian was killed by eunuchs, and Ding Yuan was also lured by Dong Zhuo to kill Lü Bu, and then annexed Ding Yuan's army. After Dong Zhuo gained power, he accepted Lü Bu as a righteous son, served as a general in Zhonglang, and was the Marquis of Fengduting. Afterwards, Dong Zhuo deposed Tianzi without authorization, and was attacked by various princes, and eventually Dong Zhuo was forced to move the capital to Chang'an. However, due to the violent behavior of the powerful minister Dong Zhuo, although Lü Bu was his righteous son, the two sides continued to clash. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms once recorded: "Ran Zhuo was strong and stubborn, did not think about it, tasted a little frustration, and pulled out his hand and threw a cloth." Bu Fist Jie avoided it. Later, Lü Bu was afraid that the matter would be discovered because of his affair with Dong Zhuo's maid, and finally at the instigation of Wang Yun, Lü Bu killed Dong Zhuo, served as the general of Fenwu, and was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Wen, and took charge of the imperial government with Wang Yun.
A few months after Dong Zhuo's death, his old subordinates Li Dai (李傕) and Guo Feng (郭汜) and others gathered the old subordinates to take revenge on Lü Bu, and Lü Bu was unable to flee. At that time, it was a time of war, and the princes of the world were constantly fighting with each other, and there were not many people who could let Lü Bu join, but Lü Bu's initial surrender to Yuan Shu was rejected because of arrogance and wanton plunder. In desperation, Lü Bu turned to Yuan Shao again to help Yuan Shao fight against the Black Mountain Army, and on the battlefield he and his subordinate generals defeated Zhang Yan with only a few people, so that Yuan Shao achieved great results. Afterwards, Yuan Shao was afraid that Lü Bu's ability was too great, so Yuan Shao sent troops to pursue and kill him, and the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms recorded: "Shao was afraid that he would still harm himself, and sent strong men to cover up and kill the cloth at night, but he did not get it." Shi Lu, Bu walked Hanoi, and Zhang Yanghe. ”
After Lü Bu left Yuan Shao, he fought with Cao Cao for Yanzhou, and the two sides won and lost each other, and Lü Bu once let Cao Cao suffer military losses, "Bu sent troops to fight, first with horses to attack Qingzhou soldiers." The Qingzhou soldiers ran, Taizu was in disarray, galloped out of the fire, fell off his horse, and burned his left palm. Sima Lou helped Taizu get on his horse and led him away", "In the spring of the second year, he attacked Dingtao. Ji Yin was too defensive of Wu Zibao's southern city and was not pulled out. Lü Bu will arrive and break it again", Lü Bu repeatedly put Cao Cao's army into passivity in Yanzhou. At that time, Cao Cao originally wanted to march east to Xuzhou Taoqian, but after hearing the news, he immediately returned to the division and fought with Lü Bu several times, and finally Lü Bu was defeated and threw himself at Liu Bei in the east, and Liu Bei asked him to raise troops xiao Pei.
It can be said that Lü Bu and Liu Bei originally had nothing to do with each other, he was beaten by Cao Cao and was cornered, so he ran to Xuzhou to defect to Liu Bei. At that time, Lü Bu was very embarrassed, and he was respectful to Liu Beibi, and asked his wife to salute Liu Bei and call him a virtuous brother. The Book of Heroes records: "Cloth is prepared and respectful." Please sit on the woman's bed in the tent, make the woman worship, drink wine and eat, and be a brother in the name. However, in the face of Liu Bei's kind acceptance, Lü Bu was not grateful at all, but instead took the opportunity to seize Liu Bei's Xuzhou. In the second year of Xingping (195), Yuan Shu led an army to attack Xuzhou, and the two sides fought fiercely for more than a month.
At this time, Lü Bu, at the instigation of Yuan Shu, also became greedy and took the initiative to attack Xia Pi, and Zhang Fei, who was defending the city, could not beat him. As a result, Lü Bu became the lord of Xuzhou and appointed himself as the pastor of Xuzhou. At the same time, Liu Bei was also defeated by Yuan Shu and turned around and defected to Lü Bu. In this way, Lü Bu and Liu Bei changed places, and Lü Bu instead placed Liu Bei in Xiao Pei. The following year, Yuan Shu attacked Liu Bei again, and Lü Bu, in order to prevent Yuan Shu from joining Taishan Kou in the north and besieging himself, came forward to help and solved the incident with a yuanmen shooting, and Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling praised the "general Tianwei Ye". However, the subsequent development was not satisfactory, and Lü Bu was capricious and eventually drove Liu Bei out of Xiao Pei.
As a military commander, Lü Bu acted so repeatedly that he finally achieved the infamy of being a "three-surnamed family slave". The historian Chen Shou also called it in his "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": "Lü Bu has the courage of a dragon and a tiger, but has no heroic strategy, is cunning and repetitive, and only profit is vision." Since ancient times and today, there has not been such a thing as not destroying it. "In the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, when the masses rose up together and the wise men gathered, small wisdom and small strategies like Lü Bu were not enough to cope with the complicated political and military struggle situation at that time.
The ancients attached great importance to integrity and loyalty, especially the lord, Lü Bu did not want to be under the original lord, leave on it, the so-called subjects can choose the king, the ancients are still quite tolerant of this, but you not only rebelled, but also killed the original lord to invite reward, this is a great fault, and Lü Bu not only did it, but also did it twice in a row.
Because Lü Bu was capricious, suspicious, and indecisive, he was eventually defeated by Cao Cao Liu Bei on the White Gate Tower. Lü Bu was the courage of a general, and if it were not for the rebellion of his subordinates, It would not be so easy for Cao Cao Liu Bei to capture him, but this time Lü Bu was captured, he still had a little illusion, he wanted to survive. So he begged for someone at this time, and asked him to intercede with Cao Cao for him! This person is Liu Bei.
This history is recorded in the "Later Han Shu Lü Bu Biography", and the captured Lü Bu was not willing to die like this, so he said to Cao Cao: "Ming Gong, all you are worried about is Lü Bu. Now that I have surrendered to you, the world is not enough to worry about. Ming Gong, you lead the infantry, let me lead the cavalry, where in the world can not be pacified? Then Lü Bu said to Liu Beiyue: "Xuande, Qing is a guest, I am a prisoner, the rope is anxious, and I must not say anything evil?" ”
At that time, Cao Cao was indeed moved by Compassion for Lü Bu's words, "but to slow down the cloth binding." But at this time, Liu Bei said to Cao Cao: "Ming Gong did not see the cloth Ding Jianyang and Dong Taishihu! As soon as Liu Bei's words came out, it could really be described as a heartfelt remark. After Cao Cao listened, it was indeed the case, and he nodded silently. At this time, Lü Bu found that he must die this time, so he opened his mouth to scold Liu Bei, according to the "Biography of Lü Bu", "Bu Yin pointed out that he was the most faithful person with big ears!" This means that Liu Bei is the most unbelievable in the world! After Lü Bu finished shouting these 7 words, he was ordered by Cao Cao to hang himself first and then beheaded.
It can be seen that although Lü Bu's death stemmed from his disloyalty and unrighteousness, the direct trigger was Liu Bei's advice. It is no wonder that Lü Bu would scold Liu Bei, before Lü Bu shot at the Yuanmen and solved Liu Bei's urgent need, at this time Lü Bu was captured alive, Liu Bei did not say anything to save each other, but fell into the well. It seems that Lü Bu's 7 words are scolding Liu Bei for having no faith, but they are also reminding Cao Cao to guard against Liu Bei, and Liu Bei is the most untrustworthy person. Unfortunately, Cao Cao did not understand it at that time, and if Cao Cao understood Lü Bu's meaning and killed Liu Bei, it was likely to rewrite the history of the Three Kingdoms.
Facts have also proved that Liu Bei did abandon Cao Cao and eventually became Cao Cao's greatest enemy. In the Battle of Chibi, which determined the victory or defeat of the world, hundreds of thousands of Cao soldiers were burned by Liu Bei and Sun Quan's 50,000 combined forces, and they almost lost their lives, thus losing the perfect opportunity to unify the world, forming a three-legged situation. Perhaps this is exactly what is called "the wise man will have a thousand worries and one loss, and the fool will have a thousand worries."
