In the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao's paranoia was notorious, preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go, which was Cao Cao's consistent practice, and even in order to make others jealous of him, it was rumored that he was killing people in his sleep. However, all this, when Cao Cao met Liu Bei, all of them failed! Why?
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei's image seems to be a little dark, the real Liu Bei in history is still relatively talented, and Cao Cao's affirmation and appreciation of Liu Bei is absolutely real! But it is not afraid of Liu Bei, but there is a feeling of "the end of the world", the feeling of finding Zhiyin, but Liu Bei's acting skills are too in place, resulting in Cao Cao being deceived by him.
In the second year of Jian'an (197), Zhang Xiu defected to Cao Cao, and later because Cao Cao occupied Zhang Xiu's aunt, Zhang Xiu became angry and embarrassed, and raised an army to attack Cao Jun, not under Cao Cao's escort, almost lost his life, his son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin, and the general Dianwei all lost their lives because of Cao Cao's cover, cao Cao was hit by an arrow, and fled for his life.
Whenever Cao Cao thought about this, he regretted it, so he summed up the lessons learned, straightened out military discipline, cut his hair and decided to recruit Zhang Xiu for the second time. Cao Jun's morale was high, but it suddenly retreated, why was this?
It turned out that Cao Cao had just attacked Zhang Xiu on both sides, and suddenly received news that Yuan Shao was going to take advantage of him to go out to fight and secretly attack Xu Du, who was Cao Cao's base camp. After Cao Cao returned to Xu Capital, Yuan Shao, who had slashed thousands of swords, retracted his plan to attack Xu Du, which made Cao Cao very annoyed. Enraged, he decided to attack Zhang Xiu again, but at this moment, an official letter came from Liu Bei's side, saying that Lü Bu had rebelled and was attacking Pei Cheng, asking for support.
At the will of the counselors Xun Yu and Guo Jia, lü bu was killed first, and in September of the third year, The Cao army attacked Lü Bu, and in October merged with Liu Bei to capture Pengcheng, and then directly subordinated. At this moment, Lü Bu suffered a lot and fled to Xia Pi City. However, Cao Jun and Liu Bei attacked the city for two months, but neither took Xia Pi. Later, Guo Jia offered a plan to Cao Cao, digging a dike of Yishui and Surabaya and flooding the city of Xia pi. Lü Bu saw that the general trend had gone and decided to surrender the city. After Lü Bu was killed by Cao Cao at the White Gate Tower of Xia Pi City, the place became famous.
After Cao Cao killed Lü Bu, he brought Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei back to Xudu. Cao Cao asked Liu Bei to see Han Gaozu, a row of generations, it turned out that Liu Bei was still Han Gaozu's uncle, so there was the origin of the name Liu Bei as Liu Huang's uncle. After Liu Bei arrived at Xu Capital, Cao Cao was very worried about him. So he tried Liu Bei every day, and Liu Bei was as frightened as a mouse entering a cat's nest these days.
This time, Emperor Xian of Han, everywhere by Cao, saw that finally had a beloved person to believe, so he wrote a blood letter, let his uncle Dong Cheng send it to Liu Bei, Liu Bei received the blood letter, after knowing the inside story, he wept bitterly, so he secretly contacted his confidants and actively prepared to eradicate Cao's actions, Cao Was very concerned about him, Liu Bei was very jealous of Cao, so he took the initiative to plant vegetables in the backyard, but he asked about political affairs. Even his two older brothers, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, were puzzled. It can be seen from this that Liu Bei's mind is not comparable to ordinary people.
One day Cao Cao suddenly came to visit, and the first sentence was to smile and say to Liu Bei: "The general is doing good things in the backyard", Liu Bei was shocked, thinking that his rebellion was known to Cao Cao, and his face was yellow with fright. Cao Cao sighed and said, "It's not easy to grow vegetables", and Liu Bei was relieved, believing that Cao Cao didn't know what he was planning.
Subsequently, Cao Cao pulled Liu Bei to sit on the pavilion, told the story of his hope for mei to quench his thirst, and began the most famous section in history, boiling wine on heroes! Liu Bei talked about the princes Haojie all over the world, that is, he did not mention Cao Xiu and himself, and finally Cao Xiu said a word, only Cao Xiu and Liu Bei were left in the world, Liu Bei was frightened to get the chopsticks to the ground, just about to return to Liu Bei in heaven, let people see that Liu Bei's secret was stabbed by Cao Xiu, and it felt like he was afraid of Cao Xiu! In fact, this is not the case, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are good actors!
Liu Bei and Cao Cao are two people who aspire to the world, and their ability to recognize people should be the top players in the Three Kingdoms. Liu Bei pretended not to ask about political affairs in front of Cao Cao, trying to confuse Cao Cao and reduce his concerns, and Cao Cao knew exactly why he did this. In Cao A's eyes, Liu Bei's doing so is excusable, on the one hand, on his own turf, if he wants to call the wind and rain, it is not Cao A's knowledge of Liu Bei's affairs, and Liu Bei's low profile also makes Cao A-qi very satisfied. Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei had deliberately done this, and in Cao Cao's eyes, Liu Bei was a wise man.
But in Liu Bei's view, he was also forced to do this, on the one hand, there were no troops in his hands, only a little bit of troops to be monitored by Cao Aqi, wanted to rebel and kill Cao, there was no 100% certainty, he knew that there would be no recovery, he was in Xudu, in his heart, he was very afraid and afraid of Cao Aqi, but before he reached the point of fear, he lost his square inch.
When Cao Aqi entered Liu Bei's vegetable garden, the first sentence was actually Cao Aqi deliberately testing Liu Bei, although Cao Aqi did not know what Liu Bei was doing in secret. But Cao Cao knew that it was definitely not a good thing, just to scare Liu Bei, but in Cao Cao's eyes, Liu Bei could now make a big wave with one soldier and one pawn! Seeing Liu Bei's panicked look, Cao Cao was very satisfied. When cooking wine on heroes, Liu Bei's every move, in fact, Cao A concealed in the eyes, Cao A concealment is not really confused by Liu Bei, but Cao A concealed to see through Liu Bei's tricks, and liu Bei is loaded in his heart.
It should be known that after Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, in the process of escaping, others sharpened their knives and killed sheep to make him food, and he thought that the other party was going to murder himself and kill his whole family. Such a person, only when he thinks that it threatens him, he will expose the murder, and Liu Bei's every move, in Cao Cao's eyes, is like acting, Cao Cao is very satisfied, because he feels that he has penetrated Liu Bei's true thoughts, feels that he is very smart, and does not take Liu Bei to heart.
Finally let Go of Liu Bei, Liu Bei actually did everything was a helpless move, according to people do not follow, can only give the ugly people a period of time, "lying down to taste the guts", after Liu Bei let go, under the reminder of Xun Yu and others, Cao Caicai suddenly realized, and went after Liu Bei, in fact, this time Cao Cao knew a big secret, Liu Bei wanted to assassinate him at that time, stimulating his nerves, for people who want to kill him, Cao Cao always prefers to kill by mistake, and does not let go! Cao Cao knew that Lü Bu was also such a person, so he simply killed him. Only when Cao Cao and Liu Bei played against each other did Liu Bei not make Cao Cao feel dangerous.
Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this brief analysis of the mentality of the two men at that time?
