The real Liu Biao killed Sun Jian, drove Yuan Shu, rode into Jing alone, fixed the seven counties, and obtained Jingzhou by virtue of his personal charm, not a mediocre talent who was partial to an even, today we talk about this powerful scholar.
Liu Biao is a direct descendant of the Western Han Dynasty royal family, rich and idle, loves to read and make friends, often gets together with a group of young talents to discuss public figures, and the hot topic is to criticize the eunuchs in power.
Readers pay attention to elegance, write articles casually, scold people without dirty words, and there is Liu Biao in the front of the writing.
The Eastern Han Dynasty was not chaotic, the father-in-law had the final say, the emperor issued a prohibition order, and all the young people who participated in the movement were blacklisted and could not enter the career for life, and this movement was the famous "disaster of the party".
In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if you had not participated in the party, you did not dare to call yourself a reader, and the leaders of this movement were Sanjun, Bajun, Bagu, Bahe, and Eight Kitchens, and Liu Biao was one of the eight.
When the eunuchs began to clean up the interior, Liu Biao began to flee, and when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, Liu Biao ended his escape and became an aide to the general He Jin.
In a way, the Yellow Turban Rebellion saved the readers, because the country needed talent, even in the blacklist.
The three kingdoms of chaos began, you sang and I appeared, the patron He Jin was killed by the eunuchs, and the warlord Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, eliminated the eunuchs, and became the new boss of the empire.
Dong Zhuo was a pure soldier who did not understand the energy of the reader at all, and after Sun Jian forced jingzhou to die, he sent Liu Biao to take over.
This arrangement is very problematic, Jingzhou is in chaos, internal warlords are rampant, thieves are rampant, and external Yuan Shu is looking at the tiger, and it is definitely not a wise choice to let a literati become the new leader.
At this time, Liu Biao was 48 years old, and in the face of this arrangement, his biggest embarrassment was that he could not take office, because the road was blocked by Yuan Shu, and the path was full of thieves.
Combined with his previous experience in escaping, Liu Biao disguised himself as a teacher and rode into Yicheng alone to meet the local clans Cai and Ku.
We can imagine a scene where a middle-aged man riding a skinny horse walks into a towering city, facing the contempt of two great families, to conquer the seven counties of this state, which is simply hell mode.
In the end, Liu Biao unexpectedly completed the task and formed an alliance with the Cai and Ku clans, with 100,000 warships and thousands of warships.
In order to make the alliance more stable, Liu Biao also married Cai Mao's sister, and obtained the absolute support of the entire Cai family. After having capital, Liu Biao booby-trapped and killed fifty-five leaders of the Sect Thieves and captured the six counties of Jingzhou in a year, leaving only Nanyang still occupied by Yuan Shu.
In 191 AD, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao went to war, and Sun Jian, the forward of the Yuan army, was shot by Huang Zu, and the grain road was also cut off by Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu, who could not continue in Nanyang, could only move to Yanzhou.
Just in time for an encounter with Cao Cao, Yuan Shu was once again defeated and retreated to Jiujiang County, taking Yangzhou Mu himself.
The original most dangerous opponent ran away, and Liu Biao began to govern Jingzhou, opened a scholarly official, sought Confucianism, and vigorously promoted the way of moderation.
In the following eighteen years, the people of Jingzhou were happy, the students were happy to learn, and everywhere outside Jingzhou was still grabbing Zhuangding, but the city was a prosperous scene, which was a miracle of the chaotic world.
But no one can stand alone in the rolling torrent, and this paradise is doomed to not last long. Liu Zhang, who was surrounded by Jingzhou and Sun Ce of Jiangdong, and his greatest enemy was Cao Cao of Xuchang.
Liu Biao's ability to govern the country is first-class, but his military ability is really average, and he also knows that he does not have this ability, and began to look for the right person.
When Zhang Xiu was cornered, Liu Biao provided grain and grass for free, and also arranged him in Wancheng, where his task was to resist Cao Cao. After Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, Liu Biao took Liu Bei in and arranged for him to garrison Xinye, but the task was still to resist Cao Cao.
A middle-aged student who does not know the military can only rely on others in a chaotic world and survive in the cracks.
After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao had been cleaning up the remnants of Yuan Shao, and there was no war around him, normally Liu Biao should have taken the opportunity to develop his power, but he started a cultural industry and founded Sinology to study music.
Cao Cao commented on Liu Biao as follows: "When I attacked Lü Bu, Liu Biao did not come to the rescue, and in the Battle of Guandu, he did not go to save Yuan Shao, he was simply a scrooge. ”
The cowardice in Liu Biao's personality gradually enlarges with age, and it is clearly revealed in the issue of heirs. He favored his eldest son Liu Qi, but the second son, Liu Qi, married a descendant of the Cai clan.
As a result, two factions appeared in Jingzhou, Liu Biao's subordinates supported Liu Qi, and Cai and other large families supported Liu Qi, and he was unable to decide on the candidate, resulting in internal disintegration and collapse.
After Liu Biao's death, Liu Qi's forces surrendered to Cao Cao, and Liu Qi's forces were invaded by Liu Bei, and Liu's 18-year foundation ended.
Throughout Liu Biao's life, he is a well-deserved Jingzhou pastor, self-aware, literate, and talented in ruling the world. But he was not born at the right time, in the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms, how could this middle-aged scholar who did not know the military achieve hegemony?
