When I first read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I was blinded by Liu Bei's benevolence, kindness, and righteousness, but in fact, Liu Bei was a charlatan who hid his treachery under his gentle appearance.
There is a folk saying after a break: Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou - there was no repayment, he borrowed Sun Quan's Jingzhou South County, when people asked him to return, but the two families were raging, which showed that his words were not believed.
The most famous traitor in the Three Kingdoms was none other than Cao Cao, but he was still "borrowed" by the charlatan Liu Bei to take away 50,000 elite soldiers, who later fought a big battle with their old master Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao was above the Three Dukes, had a prominent family lineage, and was the lord of the Eighteenth Road Princes, how did he get fooled by the resourceful Liu Bei and miss the opportunity to kill him twice?
After Liu, Guan, and Zhang were defeated by Cao Cao, the three of them scattered and fled, Zhang Fei fell into the grass as a Kou, Guan Yunchang surrendered to Cao Cao in Xia Pi, and Liu Bei went to defect to Yuan Shao's big tree. In the fifth year of Jian'an (200), during the Battle of Baima, Yuan Shao sent his leading general Yan Liang to recruit Cao Cao, but was beheaded by Guan Yu, who was serving Cao Cao. Guan Yu's hands were fast, and Yan Liang had no time to exchange names before he could scream for his life.
Yan Liang's subordinates were defeated and reported to Yuan Shao that Yan Liang had been killed by a fierce general with a red face and long beard and a large knife in his hand. Yuan Shao immediately judged that this person was Liu Bei's righteous brother Guan Yu, and suggested that Yuan Shao take the opportunity to remove Liu Bei. Yuan Shao painfully lost a major general, and did not have time to think carefully, believing that Liu Guan's two people had joined forces inside and outside, and it was a big deal for him. Immediately, he scolded and said, "Brother Ru beheaded General Wu, Ru will conspire, what is the use of Liu'er!" "Say, drag him out and behead him."
The unsuspecting Liu Bei was momentarily confused, but the speed of his adaptability was admirable, especially in the face of death threats, which showed his super psychological quality. Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shao innocently and said, "Ming Gong only listens to one side of the word, and he is absolutely in love with the sun?" Prepared since Xuzhou was lost, the second brother Yun Chang did not know whether it existed or not; there were many people of the same appearance in the world, and the person with a red face and a long beard was Guan Mouye? Why doesn't Ming Gong learn from this? ”
Yuan Shao is a person of great affection, Liu Bei said, "Even the whereabouts of his wife and children are unknown, how do you know where your brother is?" "Touched the softness of his heart. This reasonable remark made Yuan Shao immediately change his mind, and also blamed frustrated that he almost let him kill a good person by mistake. He also released Liu Bei on the spot and once again made him a guest of honor.
A few days later, Yuan Shao sent another member of the fierce general Wen Ugly to avenge Yan Liang, and Guan Yu killed Wen Ugly. Guo Tu and Yuan Shao reported: "This time it was Guan Mou who killed Wen Ugly, and Liu Bei pretended not to know." “
Yuan Shao lost two generals in a row, and he was heartbroken, scolding Liu Bei: "Big ear thief! Dare to do so! "Then he ordered the man to pull Bi down and behead him.
Liu Bei saw it with his own eyes this time, and in the face of the angry Yuan Shao and another death threat, he was once again in a hurry, and at the moment of life and death, rationally analyzed the reason why Cao Cao sent Guan Yu to behead two of Yuan Shao's generals. Liu Bei said: "Cao Cao was jealous of Bei, and now that he knew that Bei was in the Ming Gong's office, he was afraid of helping the Gong, so the special envoy Yun Chang killed the second general. Public knowledge will be angry. This borrowed the hand of the public to kill Liu Beiye. ”
Liu Bei's seemingly reasonable argument not only saved his own life again, but also successfully pushed the responsibility on Cao Cao, in fact, Cao Cao and Guan Yu did not know that Liu Bei was in Yuan Shao.s place.
And this silly white sweet Yuan Shao was once again firmly believed by his idol Liu Bei. Later, Yuan Shao's army defeated Guandu, and Liu Bei disregarded his old friendship, abandoned Yuan Shao, and turned to Liu Biao.
