At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial power was weak, the Yellow Turban took the opportunity to commit rebellion, and the princes of the world raised troops to "suppress the rebellion". At the time of the chaotic world, the Han Dynasty did not have one of the ten relatives, and almost at the time of severance, Liu Bei, a descendant of Liu Sheng, the King of Jing in Zhongshan, was born out of nowhere, and after several conquests, he laid the foundation for the situation of dividing the world into three parts. However, Liu Bei's most outstanding ability is not a superhuman strategy, but a knowing person, otherwise the allusion of "Three Gu Maolu" would not have been passed down to the present.
However, everyone makes mistakes, and Liu Bei is no exception, although he has been cautious in his words and deeds all his life, he still made 4 fatal mistakes. The first is the great trust in the villain Lü Bu. Lü Bu's character, whether in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, was extremely unbearable, he was originally a subordinate general of Ding Yuan, and after accepting bribes from Dong Zhuo, he actually chose to betray the lord and returned to Dong Zhuo's account. Later, he was provoked by Wang Yun to kill his righteous father Dong Zhuo again, and since then he has earned the nickname of "Three Family Slaves".
In the first year of Xingping (194), Lü Bu's sneak attack on Cao Cao failed, and he was destroyed and went to Xuzhou for refuge, at that time Xuzhou was Liu Bei's territory, the so-called "one mountain is different from two tigers", Liu Bei could completely refuse Lü Bu outside the door. However, Liu Bei took Lü Bu in with a benevolent heart. As a result, Lü Bu took advantage of Liu Bei's engagement with Yuan Shu to sneak up on Xuzhou, and then turned against the guests. In the days that followed, he and Liu Bei were sometimes reconciled, and sometimes attacked each other, which broke Liu Bei's heart.
The second is the straw bale Liu Chun. Liu Chun is the younger son of Liu Biao, Mu of Jingzhou, who has no special skills and is a fully related household. Cao Cao once commented on Liu Chun: "When you have a son, you should be like Sun Zhongmou, and Liu Jingsheng's son should be like a guinea pig!" In Cao Cao's eyes, Liu Chun was simply worse than a pig or a dog. However, the fact is absolutely not so, in 208 AD, Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, Liu Chun's first reaction was to rise up and resist, from this point of view, he is still a bloody boy, if Liu Bei values Liu Chun, he will not end up with a "cross the river with the people".
The third mistake, Liu Bei overestimated Guan Yu's strength. Guan Yu was a famous military general during the Three Kingdoms period, whether it was wisdom or force, he was the best choice and was deeply trusted by Liu Bei. In addition, Cao Cao also admired Guan Yu very much, and during the period when Guan Yu was captured, Cao Cao always treated guan Yu with courtesy and tried every means to attract Guan Yu to surrender. However, Guan Yu was a good man who was a righteous man, and he was unwilling to renege on his old vows, so he had to behead His face and curse The Ugly wen to repay Cao Cao's kindness.
However, Guan Yu was an arrogant man, he looked down on the veteran general Huang Zhong, and mocked Sun Quan that "the tiger girl can marry a dog", and after the flooding of the Seventh Army and the wei zhen Huaxia, it was even more indispensable. After a series of victories for Guan Yu, Liu Bei also gradually expanded, and even issued a sigh of "my second brother is invincible in the world". As a result, Mi Fang and Shi Ren betrayed, Lü Meng crossed the river in white, Guan Yu finally paid the price for his pride, and Liu Bei also lost a fierce general because of his light enemy.
And Liu Bei's biggest mistake was to look down on Lu Xun. After Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei was furious, and he insisted on attacking Eastern Wu despite Zhuge Liang's persuasion. When he learned that the person who fought against him was Lu Xun, he did not take Lu Xun seriously for a while. As a result, Liu Bei was burned by Lu Xun and suffered an unprecedented defeat, and the Shu state was devastated and went downhill. In fact, Liu Bei's few mistakes can be completely avoided, if he maintains his original intention, he will not be mixed with personal feelings, you know, only the appropriate "cold blood" is a qualified king.
