The Han Chamber, which flourished at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was as weak as the Zhou royal family of that year. Foreign relations monopoly, eunuch integrity, political corruption, natural disasters, non-state systems are different, but the results are exactly the same. And Cao Cao even won the political advantage by holding Tianzi hostage, and then Cao Cao conquered the north and unified the north, and Liu Bei came all the way, even if he had enough ability, but there has been no strong force, it can be said that from beginning to end he has been sending people to the fence, and has to rely on others.
Liu Bei was able to recruit capable people, but this huge army was really not easy to come by. Even if he looked at Maolu three times, he only invited Zhuge Liang out of the mountain, and Zhuge Liang also offered him a longzhong pair. But the most important point is that he must first take Jingzhou as his home, and then take Yizhou, because only in this way can he have his own foothold in the world's strife, but without an army, how can it capture Jingzhou? It can be said that this was the most worrying thing for Nana's hand, and after Liu Biao's illness and death, the second son Dai Li hoped to choose to surrender to Cao Cao, but Liu Bei and Cao Cao were two hostile relations, and he had no choice but to lead the army to leave.
He cooperated with Sun Quan, and the coalition defeated Cao Cao at Chibi. With Liu Bei's strength, he only played an auxiliary role in this great battle, so it was not his turn to divide the land. So then there was Liu Bei, borrowing Jingzhou, and there was a story of borrowing and not repaying.
And Sun Quan must have understood the benefits, and his cooperation with Liu Bei was only superficial. But in fact, they are all for their own plots and interests, if the two of them cooperate to defeat Cao Cao, then in the future it will definitely be Liu Bei's family, not to mention what three-legged strength! And Sun Quan just didn't want Liu Bei to use Jingzhou to develop his power, so he was anxious to return to Jingzhou. I'd rather the partnership between the two sides break down.
The second chance for Liu Bei to achieve world domination was after the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei's lone army went north, flooded the Seventh Army and captured it, beheaded Pound, Wei Zhen Huaxia, and besieged Cao Ren at Fancheng. If Liu Bei could seize this opportunity and re-establish cooperation with Sun Quan, if those people went to fight Cao Cao, then liu Bei's family would definitely be the only one in the future, but unfortunately, Sun Quan knew the stakes, so he refused to cooperate, and even sent Lü Meng to attack Jingzhou. And Guan Yu was also unfortunately killed in this battle, it can be said that after the fall, the Shu kingdom began to decline.
It can be said that Liu Bei's desire to rely on his own power to realize the desire to unify the world is doomed to be impossible to achieve.
