Liu Bei was 6 years old and others saw that he was extraordinary, and once drank with Cao Cao and boasted: there are only two heroes in the world. When we are very young, there are elders who evaluate us, how we are born, what we must do in the future, and even more exaggerated will say that there is a vision from heaven, and this son will be extraordinary in the future, and so on. Liu Bei, a figure in the Three Kingdoms, was praised by others at a very young age.
There was once a man named Li Dingyun who saw that the mulberry tree in Liu Bei's home grew very tall, and from a distance it looked like it was covered on it. This person said that Liu Bei's family must be a noble person. There is also the patriarch of Liu Bei's family who also said that he was among the clan and felt that Liu Bei must not be an ordinary person. At that time, because of the exaggeration and inference of the two of them, Liu Bei soon became a celebrity in their county.
At that time, Liu Bei was only six years old, but others had already seen that he was extraordinary. Of course, he was different from the rest of the Three Kingdoms, just say Zhuge Liang, and at that time he still compared himself to Guan Zhong, which was all his praise for himself. Liu Bei is different, Liu Bei is exaggerated.
When Liu Bei was young, he was a fun-loving person, and he would bring others to play with him. That's when he started to show his unusualness. Of course, it will also make people see confusion and think that Liu Bei can really become an extraordinary person in later life.
After Liu Bei got Xuzhou, heroes from all sides evaluated him, such as Yuan Shao, who was also a famous and prestigious family, and his ancestors once had several people ranked as the third duke. He praised Liu Beiren for his faithfulness and elegance, and being embraced by the people in Xuzhou was what he hoped to see. There was also another who sat and ate with Liu Bei, but in the end they were still enemies.
That was Cao Cao, Liu Bei lost to Lü Bu at that time, Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei ate wine together, praised themselves, the heroes of the world were the two of them, Yuan Shao could not do it at all. Think of Cao Cao's praise for Liu Bei and the accuracy of looking at people.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, relying on word of mouth and local recommendations, to put it bluntly, it depended on the people saying hello. Those who can be praised by many people can generally be elected as petty officials. Cao Cao did not rely on his ancestors, grandfather's rights, and also because of his marriage, and he also communicated with many celebrities, got their praise, and thus got the support of celebrities.
And Liu Bei is different from him, when Liu Bei started his family, it was really different in the mouths of others, and Liu Bei's ultimate strategy was to rely on the people, use benevolence and generosity to gain the trust of the people, that is, the people's hearts. His strategy was still very realistic, because he had no basis, and the people spent more time with him, so that he could get the approval of the celebrities in the Three Kingdoms period.
When Liu Bei was in Xinye, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses came to attack, and finally they were defeated and had to retreat, but he and the people in his jurisdiction said that if they were willing to follow him, they would retreat with the army, and many people walked with their army, so his troops were caught up by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao killed a lot of people, but Liu Bei almost put his life in the war for the people.
Some people may think that Liu Bei is very hypocritical, but also has a thick skin, and does not care what others say. Remember that the three let Xuzhou, at the beginning of Xuzhou Mu sincerely wanted to hand Xuzhou into his hands, he has been unwilling, and then Cao Cao's army retreated, Xuzhou Mu at the wine table persuaded him to accept Xuzhou Mu and take charge of Xuzhou, but he did not expect that he was not happy. Knowing that Xuzhou Mu was not good, he agreed to take over Xuzhou.
This really makes people feel that Liu Bei is a hypocrite. Many people think that Cao Cao is a person who can say anything he wants directly, while Liu Bei is a kind of person who lets others take the initiative to send things over.
Of course, Liu Bei is still quite capable, even though he often fails in battles, but he has never been discouraged. He insisted on being good to the people and insisting on benevolent government, and no matter how difficult it was, he did not give up benevolent government, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
He had his own rules, and neither Zhuge Liang nor anyone else could change his belief, and this was the basis for his successful establishment of the Shu kingdom. Most notably, he was able to be seen to have done a great job at a very young age, which shows that extraordinary people have their own aura.
