The Three Kingdoms period is regarded as one of the most turbulent eras in Chinese history, with battles and strife that have given rise to many haunting stories. One of the most famous figures is Liu Bei, a hero and hero, full of benevolence and righteousness, who is bent on reviving the Han court and pacifying the world.
In that era, talent was one of the most valuable resources. And Liu Bei's rise is inseparable from his emphasis on talents. He understood that only with excellent strategists and brave generals could he remain invincible in that era of war. Therefore, he is always looking for talented people to join his team.
However, Liu Bei was not a perfect commander. Although he had noble morals and lofty ideals, he also had some fatal shortcomings. One of the most obvious problems is his lack of insight into people. He is often unable to see the true face of a person, so he often has deviations in the selection of people.
This problem is most evident in his regretful misses with the three talents. Who are these three talents?
CHEN Qun
When Liu Bei first entered Xuzhou, Chen Qun turned to him, hoping to achieve a career under him. After all, although Liu Bei was only a small assassin at that time, he was already famous, with a noble bloodline and loyal character, which attracted many people to come to him. Chen Qun is no exception, he has high expectations for Liu Bei, hoping that he can make a difference and work for the benefit of the world.
However, when Liu Bei decided to occupy Xuzhou, Chen Qun raised objections. He believed that Liu Bei's move was too risky and could easily provoke a counterattack from Yuan Shu and Lü Bu, in which case he would not only lose the opportunity to capture Xuzhou, but might also be defeated, resulting in even greater losses.
Liu Bei listened to Chen Qun's opinion, and although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he still decided to suspend the action first and wait for the opportunity. However, his younger brother Liu Biao disagreed, believing that Xuzhou was his own territory and could not be snatched away by Liu Bei. Therefore, Liu Biao took matters into his own hands and sent people to lead troops to attack Xuzhou. This action made Liu Bei very angry, and he felt that Liu Biao's behavior was not only out of place, but also unfair.
Seeing Liu Bei's anger, Chen Qun took the initiative to stand up for Liu Biao, saying, "Liu Biao is doing this to protect his own interests, why can't he understand?" However, after Liu Bei listened, he angrily rebuked Chen Qun: "You loyal villain, you actually speak for him!" Since you don't support my decision, don't stay under me anymore! ”
Chen Qun was expelled from the army by Liu Bei, and he was very disappointed and distressed. He had high hopes for Liu Bei to be able to make a contribution with him, but he was thrown out of the team because of a small disagreement. He felt that Liu Bei was not only acting arbitrarily, but also unwise and impartial.
Eventually, Chen Qun defected to Cao Cao and demonstrated his talent and ability. He became an important general under Cao Cao and made many battle achievements. He was once promoted to the rank of general of Zhenguo and became one of the three dynasties of the Cao Wei regime.
Chen Qun's transformation shows that a person's talents are omnipresent, but they can only be fully developed under the right environment and opportunities. If Liu Bei could see Chen Qun's value and keep him, the course of the entire history might change.
Tian Yu
Tian Yu, a young military genius, has shown unusual wisdom and courage since childhood. He initially defected to Gongsun Zhan, but soon switched to Liu Bei. Tian Yu showed amazing talent and military talent under Liu Bei, which made Liu Bei impress him. However, the news of his mother's illness forced Tian Yu to bid farewell to Liu Bei and leave his beloved lord.
After Tian Yu left Liu Bei, he defected to Cao Cao. By this time, Cao Cao had become one of the most powerful forces at that time, not only possessing strong military strength, but also being good at identifying and using talent. Tian Yu therefore decided to join Cao Cao and become a member of the Cao Wei regime. Cao Cao was full of praise for Tian Yu's talent, valued his resourcefulness and courage, regarded him as an important aide and general, and gave him numerous titles and duties.
It is a pity that Tian Yu and Liu Bei parted ways for various reasons and missed the opportunity to grow and develop together. Perhaps Liu Bei did not see Tian Yu's true talent and potential, or Tian Yu himself did not have the opportunity to show his strength. In any case, Tian Yu eventually rose to prominence in the Cao Wei regime and became a highly regarded military general and politician, demonstrating his amazing talent and courage.
Tai Shi Ci
The story takes place in a troubled world, an era full of heroes and wars. Tai Shici was a top martial artist at that time, with absolute strength and talent, coupled with Yang's riding and shooting skills and dignified temperament, which made him attract much attention. However, Liu Bei was unable to bring him under his command, and eventually lost this fierce general, which is regrettable.
Once, Tai Shici was besieged by the Yellow Turban Army for saving Kong Rong, he asked Liu Bei for help, and Liu Bei led 3,000 elites to relieve the siege and successfully rescued Kong Rong.
Originally, there was a good foundation of love and righteousness, and the two could have wooed each other, but Liu Bei did not pay too much attention to Tai Shici, nor did he show his ability and strength, and Tai Shici turned his talent to Wu Guosun Quan. This decision was later proven correct, as Tai Shici became Sun Quan's right-hand man and gave a lot of credit to Wu Guoli.
In the end, the story of Liu Bei and Tai Shici is a regret of missing out. Although their fate was short-lived, it left a deep impression.
It can be said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Tai Shici was an extremely talented martial general. Although he initially worked for Cao Cao, he was disgusted by Cao Cao's brutality and switched to Sun Quan. Sun Quan appreciated Tai Shici's ability very much, and even entrusted him with all the big and small affairs in the south. Tai Shici did not disappoint Sun Quan either, and he played an outstanding role in the Battle of Jiangdong, helping Sun Quan sweep away other forces and laying the political foundation for the state of Wu.
Tai Shici was a very brave general, and his courage and combat effectiveness were among the best during the Three Kingdoms period. He once fought Huang Gai and eventually won and became a highly respected hero. He also fought Guan Yu, and although he lost in the end, he also deeply shocked Guan Yu and admired him as a real fierce general.
Tai Shici's talent is not only reflected in the battlefield, he is also a very cultured person. He once suggested to Sun Quan to strengthen water control, and Sun Quan followed his advice, so that the disaster in the Jiangnan area was well alleviated. After the establishment of the state of Wu, Tai Shici was greatly promoted by Sun Quan and became an important official, responsible for managing the affairs of the southern region of the state of Wu.
Unfortunately, Tai Shici's life did not last long, and he died heroically when he was only in his forties. His early death is regrettable, but the influence he left behind is deeply engraved in the long river of history and has become an immortal legend.
If Liu Bei had been able to get Tai Shici, a fierce general, then the Shu Kingdom would have a more powerful force, and perhaps the Five Tigers General would have had one more position. Unfortunately, Liu Bei lost Tai Shici, and Tai Shici's life was also embarrassingly short, and he died young when he was only in his forties.
This history is full of tragedy. If Liu Bei can cherish Tai Shici, perhaps the direction of the history of the Three Kingdoms will be different, but life is like this, and fate must be cherished when it comes, otherwise it will be fleeting.
epilogue
During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan were forces side by side, and whoever could get more fierce generals would be able to occupy a more advantageous position. Liu Bei missed the three fierce generals, Tai Shici, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, causing his power to gradually weaken and face the dual threat of Sun Quan and Cao Cao.
If Liu Bei can get these three people, his strength will inevitably increase greatly, and he may be able to break the balance of forces of the three kingdoms, dominate the world, and realize the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty. But fate was bad, Liu Bei lost these three fierce generals, and the pattern of the Three Kingdoms was doomed. However, it is this unpredictable fate that makes the story of the Three Kingdoms period full of suspense and drama, fascinating and passed down to this day.
