When it comes to the change of ownership during the Three Kingdoms period, many people first think of Lü Bu, after all, Lü Bu was initially an official under Ding Yuan, and later he was provoked by Dong Zhuo to kill Ding Yuan and defected to Dong Zhuo, and when Dong Zhuo was under his command, Lü Bu alone resisted the Eight Road Princes in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, but was angered by Zhang Fei's "three surname family slaves". Shortly after the conquest, Lü Bu betrayed Dong Zhuo at the instigation of Situ Wang Yun, thus killing Dong Zhuo. It is not difficult to see that Lü Bu did have many cases of changing hands. But in fact, if you want to talk about the number of times you change masters, Dong Zhuo can't compare with Liu Bei. It should be known that Liu Bei initially served as an official under Gongsun Zhan, and later he came to Qingzhou and served under Tian Kai. Soon after, Tao Qian issued a rescue application in Xuzhou, and Liu Bei came to Xuzhou again and returned to Tao Qian's command.
In addition to Gongsun Zhan, Tian Kai, and Tao Qian, Liu Bei also did things under Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao, which shows that Liu Bei's number of changes of master was not less than Lü Bu's, but Lü Bu was almost a situation where everyone shouted and fought later, but Liu Bei was different, he went to almost every place, no matter who he turned to. will be treated favorably. For example, in the third year of Jian'an, Lü Bu Gaoshun and Zhang Liao attacked Liu Bei, and although Cao Cao sent Xiahou Huan to rescue him, he was defeated, so Peicheng was eventually breached, Liu Bei's wife was taken captive again, and Liu Bei fled alone.
Later, Liu Bei met Cao Cao on the borders of the Liang state, followed Cao Cao on his expedition, and was later brought back to Xudu by Cao Cao and given the title of General of the Left. After Liu Bei betrayed Cao Cao, Yuan Shao confronted Cao Cao in the north, but was defeated by Cao Cao, but Yuan Tan led an army to meet Liu Bei. After Liu Bei followed Yuan Tao to the plains, Yuan Shao left Yecheng for two hundred miles to meet Liu Bei. Later, Liu Bei abandoned Yuan Shao and threw himself into Liu Biao, and Liu Biao also personally went to the suburbs to greet Liu Bei. Liu Bei changed hands many times, why did he still receive favors to anyone he later turned to?
In fact, the reason why Liu Bei was willing to personally greet Liu Bei no matter who he came to at that time was mainly because Liu Bei's early behavior established the word Xinyi. When Liu Bei surrendered to Gongsun Zhan, he was just a plains minister, and there were not many generals under his command, but when Kong Rong was besieged by the Yellow Turban for help, Liu Bei did not say anything and immediately sent troops to rescue Kong Rong, Xuzhou Taoqian was attacked by Cao Cao, and had no choice but to ask for help from Liu Bei, Liu Bei also did not say a word to send troops to rescue, at that time Liu Bei's hands were not as many as the Yellow Turban army besieging the North Sea, and it was far less powerful than the Cao army, but even so, Liu Bei still "wanted to believe in righteousness in the world", which had such a high return later.
The author believes that Liu Bei can get the favor of others wherever he goes, but in fact, he has worked hard to establish the word Xinyi in exchange.
