After Liu Bei lost Xuzhou and Xiao Pei, and surrendered to Cao Cao, why did Cao Cao not kill him and raise tigers instead?
Uncle Liu Huang, who was born at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was loyal and loyal, but he experienced "three ups and three downs".
In the face of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian's surrender, Liu Bei had xuzhou city at his fingertips, and the last three resignations finally deserved, and he also won a good name in the world.
Who knows, not long after getting Xuzhou City, it was captured by Lü Bu, who was uncertain and changed his master three times.
Liu Bei endured the humiliation and burden, so he had to live in Xiao Pei temporarily. However, Liu Bei was still not at peace, first encountering Yuan Shu's crusade, and then being deprived by Lü Bu of his only Xiao Pei camp.
The world is big, but there is no place to stand. In desperation, Liu Bei led his brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to cao cao in Xudu.
Reading through the original "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", we know that Xu Du is exactly the territory of Cao Cao's son of heaven and the princes.
After Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao, he was actually firmly controlled by Cao Cao.
In the 21st chapter of the Three Kingdoms: "Cao Cao Cooks Wine on Heroes, Guan Gong Earns the City and Chops the Car", Cao Cao invited Liu Bei to come to the Pavilion Garden to cook wine on heroes during the Green Plum Season, and once issued: "Heroes today, only the King and Cao Er!" ”
This shows that Cao Cao believes that in today's world, only Cao Cao and Liu Bei are the real heroes Haojie, and only Liu Bei is his opponent.
Then, why did Cao Cao not take advantage of Liu Bei's fledgling wings to get rid of Liu Bei and others, but instead recommended him as the pastor of Yuzhou, and later gave him the opportunity to develop and exercise many times, gradually making Liu Bei's power bigger and becoming an opponent of the Three Kingdoms?
Combining Chinese history and the original work of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, today, "Yuan Yiyuan" will talk about this topic.
First, I don't want to bear the infamy, because one person has lost the hearts of the people
When Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao's camp, Xun Yu first suggested that he kill Liu Bei.
Xun Yu's reason was: Liu Bei was a hero. If you don't kill him early today, you will be in trouble in the future.
Listening to Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao hesitated and was silent.
Saving Liu Bei was another of Cao Cao's machinants, Guo Jia. Guo Jia advised Cao Cao not to kill innocents indiscriminately.
"The Lord is a great righteous soldier, and he is fighting violence for the people, but he is afraid that he will not come." Now Xuande is known as a hero, and he comes to vote for the poor, and if he kills him, he will harm Xianye. ”
Guo Jia also told Cao Cao that if Liu Bei was killed, the wise and scheming man in the world, he would inevitably be suspicious after hearing about it, and would not dare to vote, and who would rely on to seize the world?
Second, Liu Beitao raised obscurity and hid his ambitions
Cao Cao did not want to kill Liu Bei, but he did not want to block his great wish to win the world because of the trouble of getting rid of one person.
Liu Bei was not unaware that Cao Cao had the intention of harming him. In order to avoid Cao Cao's murder, Liu Bei also planted his own vegetables and watered himself in the back garden.
Despite dressing himself as a farmer, Taoguang is obscure and shows a relaxed and unambitious appearance. But Liu Bei was still noticed by Cao Cao, so there was a wonderful dialogue with the famous "Heroes of Qingmei Boiled Wine" in history.
When he heard Cao Cao say that the heroes today were only Cao Cao and him, even the chopsticks in his hands fell to the ground in fright.
If it were not for the sudden thunder to cover up, Liu Bei might have missed during the temptation.
"Even thunder is afraid, what a hero Haojie!" Cao Cao then relaxed his mind and no longer doubted Liu Bei.
After safely passing Cao Cao's test, Liu Bei told Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that he had planted vegetables in the vegetable garden, lost his chopsticks, and covered up with fear of thunder, in order to let Cao Cao know that he had no ambitions.
3. Escort of righteous soldiers, related to the protection of Yu and Zhang Fei
From the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it can be seen that no matter how trapped Liu Bei was, he lost the city.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed close behind, never abandoning. In particular, Guan Gong, a representative of loyalty and righteousness, Cao Cao was particularly respected and cherished.
While Qingmei was cooking wine, cao cao and Liu Bei were drinking, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurriedly arrived uninvited and wanted to cheer for their sword dance.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Today is not a Hongmen banquet, which xiangzhuang and xiangbo are used!" At the same time, people take wine and "Fan Duo" to suppress the shock.
It was these loyal and righteous soldiers around Liu Bei, who single-mindedly protected the Lord, that increased his safety chips.
Unwinding is beneficial, but originality is not easy.
