There is a plot in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Liu Bei was defeated after being attacked by Lü Bu in Xuzhou, and the rebel army could only run to the mountain to take refuge. At that time, there was a hunter named Liu An on the mountain, and after knowing that this person was the famous Liu Bei, he did not report him, but was very happy to take Liu Bei to his home and settle down. At that time, when it came to the meal, Liu Bei and his party were also very hungry, so Liu An generously entertained Liu Bei and his party, with wine and meat, saying that this was wolf meat that had just been beaten, and it was still very fresh. After drinking and eating, Liu Bei found a female corpse, and the flesh on her body had been scraped, at this time Liu BeiFang knew that what he had just eaten was human flesh, so he thanked Liu An and then rushed to the direction of Xuchang, and before leaving, he told Liu An that he would come back to repay him later. For such a thing, Lu Xun's evaluation can be described as to the point, what did he say?
He commented that Liu Bei was "benevolent and nearly false.". As we all know, Liu Bei has always appeared in front of the world as a supporter and benevolent person of the Han Dynasty, and whenever he is introduced to people, he will always add such a sentence after King Jing of Zhongshan, Emperor Xiaojing's grandson. His ministers such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun Zhuge Liang, and others were all touched by his benevolence and conduct, and no matter how many times they failed and how many times they were at stake in life and death, they did not abandon Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also used their talents to finally establish the Shu Han Empire.
It is reasonable to say that Liu Bei's such a good reputation is very much hated for this kind of behavior, and the interpretation also describes him many times as a heavy love and righteousness, loving the people like a son. When the three brothers were separated, Liu Bei learned that Guan Yu was temporarily living in Cao Ying, thinking that Guan Yu was bent on following Cao Cao to fight the world, so he wrote to Guan Yu and said, Since you have a new pursuit now, then I can't help you, I can take my head, and I can definitely protect you with glory and wealth for a lifetime. Guan Yu couldn't cry after seeing this letter, so he followed the story of the thousand-mile search for brother we know.
The second time was when he governed Xinye, and later Cao Jun's BaiWan army broke through Xinye, and Liu Bei had no choice but to run. However, at that time, the people of Xinyecheng were grateful for Liu Bei's benevolence when he was in power, and were worried that Cao Cao would slaughter the city, so they followed Liu Bei to cross the river with their families and mouths, which was the famous river crossing with the people. Later, Liu Bei and Sun Quan allied, and the two families joined forces to defeat Cao Cao at the Battle of Chibi, and the two families divided Jingzhou, and Liu Bei also completed a counterattack from the princes.
But in fact, this is not the case, Liu Bei knows that Guan Yu is very affectionate, and deliberately wrote to Guan Yu, he would not really be willing to give the head to Guan Yu, because he expected that Guan Yu would definitely defect to himself again. He crossed the river with the people because he had deceived the people before the city was destroyed that Cao Cao's army would slaughter the city, and gave an example of the tragic case when Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou. The common people are afraid that they will naturally go with him, and he can also use this group of ordinary people as a meat shield to buy himself time to run. Moreover, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" once recorded that Liu Bei's soldiers cut the flesh of the corpses of their comrades who died in battle to eat because they did not eat, and Cao Cao also made the soldiers who died in battle into adult military food, which shows that Liu Bei and Cao Cao are the same kind of people, and he does not need to deliberately smear Cao Cao ran and maintain the image of benevolence and righteousness for himself. Lu Xun's evaluation can be described as to the point.
Conclusion: Seeing so many things that happened in that era, I can't help but sigh the deep meaning of the phrase that human life is like grass, the status of women in that era is not high in itself, and talented women like mink cicadas and big and small Joe are sent and sent as goods, not to mention the wife of a hunter, let alone a group of weak people? Historical celebrities such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei, we don't know how many innocent corpses there are under their feet, and we can only hope that the tragic situation of that era will not happen in our current society.
