Lü Bu (Chinese: Lü Bu), courtesy name Fengxian, was a native of Wuyuan Commandery (五原郡), and was recognized by his descendants as the first fierce general at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty because of his martial arts. Lü Bu's courage can be seen from the sentence "Lü Bu among men, red rabbit in horses", but unfortunately such a fierce general was defeated and hanged by Cao Cao at the end of the third year of Jian'an in Xia pi.
As the first fierce general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Lü Bu himself did not achieve the final victory as desired, and the reason for this was inseparable from his personality.
Lü Bu's defeat was not a pity, and his character doomed him to the ultimate failure. Capriciousness and forgetting righteousness are a major shortcoming in Lü Bu's personality, and it is also the most important factor that Lü Bu has been criticized by the world. Born on the northern border, Lü Bu adhered to the local martial arts and fierce folk customs. The poverty of his youth made Lü Bu a person with a strong sense of profit.
Initially, Lü Bu was appreciated by Shi Dingyuan because of his superb martial arts, and became a master of the "Xiao Wu", was deeply trusted by Ding Yuan, and was accepted by Ding Yuan as a righteous son, and the official was the main book.
Later, when Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo entered the court together on the orders of the general He Jin and entered the eunuch clique in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Ding Yuan, and when Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo's two armies were opposed, Lü Bu used his courage and good fighting to kill Dong Zhuo and flee.
Lü Bu's bravery impressed Dong Zhuo very much and wanted to recruit him to his subordinates. It happened that dong zhuo had a subordinate named Li Su, who was a compatriot of Lü Bu, and knew that Lü Bu was a person who knew his courage and did not plot, and saw profit and forgot righteousness, so Mao proposed himself as a lobbyist for Dong Zhuo. In the end, Li Su successfully recruited Lü Bu to Dong Zhuo's name with one thousand taels of gold from the Red Rabbit BMW, dozens of pearls, a jade belt, and the high-ranking official Houlu.
For Lü Bu's job-hopping, there was nothing wrong with it, but for the sake of a letter of submission, he actually turned his righteous father Ding Yuan, who was so kind to him, to oppose him and worship Dong Zhuo as his righteous father.
Later, Situ Wang Yun wanted to get rid of Dong Zhuo, and made a "serial plan" with the maid Marten Cicada, and after Wang Yun adopted the mink cicada as a righteous daughter, he invited Lü Bu to come to the mansion to drink and let the mink cicada toast lü Bu, and Lü Bu was fascinated by the beautiful sable cicada.
Wang Yun wasted no time in proposing to give the mink cicada to Lü Bu as his wife, which made Lü Bu ecstatic. Wang Yun then invited Dong Zhuo to the palace for a banquet, and presented the mink cicada to Dong Zhuo, who took the mink cicada back to his mansion. Wang Yun told Lü Bu that the mink cicada had been occupied by Dong Zhuo.
Lü Bu vowed to take the mink cicada back from Dong Zhuo's hands, so when Dong Zhuo ascended to the court, he met with the mink cicada in the back garden, but was discovered by Dong Zhuo, who grabbed the painting and stabbed at Lü Bu in anger, and Lü Bu escaped.
Subsequently, Lü Bu conspired with Wang Yun and personally killed Dong Zhuo. The two times of seeing profit and forgetting righteousness and betraying righteousness made Lü Bu become a "three-surnamed family slave" in the eyes of the world, in the words of Chen Shou: "Lü Bu has the courage of a tiger, but there is no heroic strategy, light and cunning, and only profit is regarded as ''''. It was precisely because of this that Cao Cao, who had always loved talent, made up his mind to hang Lü Bu.
The lack of distinction between reward and punishment and loyalty and adultery was a defect in Lü Bu's character, Chen Deng was a lieutenant in the agricultural school when Tao Qian was in charge of Xuzhou, and after Tao Qian's death, he supported Liu Bei in ruling Xuzhou, and after Lü Bu occupied Xuzhou, Chen Deng nominally belonged to Lü Bu, but deeply hated Lü Bu.
In order to gain Lü Bu's trust, Chen Deng first offered Lü Bu a plan to break Yuan Shu 's plan (so Yuan Shu's soldiers invaded in seven ways), and Lü Bu treated Chen Deng as a guest and ordered Chen Deng to assist Zhang Liao in defending Xiao Pei. Subsequently, Chen Deng chose the opportunity to go to Cao Cao to offer Lü Bu's plan, Cao Cao followed the plan, defeated Lü Bu, and when Lü Bu was defeated and fled to Xiao Pei City, Chen Deng refused to open the city, and scolded Lü Bu in the city, offering Xiao Pei to Cao Cao, and Chen Deng was also named Guangling Taishou by Cao Cao.
Poor use of people and obstinate behavior is another flaw in Lü Bu's personality, once Upon a time Lü Bu was also full of talents, the strategist Chen Gong was resourceful, and Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were all brave generals of a generation.
Gao Shun's experience under Lü Bu's banner is a profound lesson, historical records record that Gao Shun is innocent and majestic, not good at drinking, there are nearly a thousand people directly under his command, Gao Shun's soldiers are well-trained, strict military discipline, well-equipped, and brave in battle, when the two armies are opposed, Gao Shun leads his subordinates to attack the enemy camp, often invincible, so it is called ''trap camp''.' Later, he saved Lü Bu in the rebellion, but unfortunately, such a performance was still not reused by Lü Bu, and in order to promote his relative Wei Xu, he forced Gao Shun's "trap camp" to be handed over to Wei Xu.
Because of the boldness of the artist, Lü Bu has always regarded himself very highly, and when he confronted Cao Cao, he even said: "'My horse runs across the world, why worry about Cao Cao!'" When he goes down to the village, I will capture myself',' this arrogant and conceited personality has encouraged Lü Bu's arrogance of looking at no one and sacrificing himself, which is not tolerated by the people in the world.
