Hi! Hello everyone! I'm a bug! Only talk about fiction, not history!
Regardless of what everyone thinks of Liu Bei, judging from the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei is indeed not only a qualified politician, but also a very outstanding military strategist.
said that Liu Bei was a politician, not just because he could "cry", but because he was able to grow from a cloth cloth to the emperor of Shu Han in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which proves very well that Liu Bei is definitely a perfect politician.
said that Liu Bei was a military strategist, firstly, it can be seen from the fact that Liu Bei was often able to win battles before he got Zhuge Liang, and secondly, it can be reflected from Liu Bei's battle against Wu. Without Zhuge Liang's assistance, Liu Bei could still win the battle.
It's just that Liu Bei, a politician and military strategist, was burned down by Lu Xun, who was not famous at the time, in the last battle against Eastern Wu, and all of a sudden burned the family foundation that Liu Bei had worked so hard to build before.
So, why did Liu Bei lose to Lu Xun?
Some people say that it is because Liu Bei is eager for revenge; Some people say that it is Liu Bei who is anxious for quick success; Some people also said that it was Liu Bei who was proud and complacent, and was carried away by the previous victory.
In fact, the above views can only one-sidedly represent the reasons why Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Xun, and cannot fully explain the most fundamental reason why Liu Bei is not Lu Xun's opponent.
In fact, this reason has been explained very clearly in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", that is to say, the answer in the book is very clear.
You see, Jingzhou is very important to Liu Bei, because after Liu Bei captured Sichuan and Shu, if Jingzhou is still in Liu Bei's hands, then the north can attack Cao Pi in the north, and the south can attack Sun Quan in the southeast.
And now, Guan Yu, who was guarding Jingzhou, was killed, and Jingzhou returned to Sun Quan's hands, so Liu Bei had to find another way when he attacked Eastern Wu. As a result, Liu Bei had to go to Kuiguan and the White Emperor City, but did not dare to go to Jingzhou.
Although it is said that this is also a route to attack Eastern Wu, we have to face the fact that in that era, taking such a road will inevitably make Liu Bei's army of Wu stretch for hundreds of miles.
Because, when Liu Bei was attacking Eastern Wu with all his might, he also had to guard against Cao Pi in the north, and in that limited space, Liu Bei could only garrison for hundreds of miles, so he could not form a particularly strong group combat effectiveness.
Therefore, although Liu Bei, as a military strategist and politician, must know the famous military saying "Bao Yuanxi is dangerous and camps, this soldier's taboo", but from Liu Bei's perspective at that time, in that narrow space, in the environment of the north and south banks of the Yangtze River, how did you let Liu Bei camp?
Therefore, this created extremely favorable conditions for Lu Xun's fire company camp in Soochow invisibly.
Therefore, the reason why Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Xun that everyone thought before was only the superficial reason, and the most fundamental reason, the answer in the book is also very clear, that is, because of Guan Yu, the military stronghold of Jingzhou was lost, which also caused Liu Bei to lose the most important base camp that could really defeat Sun Quan and Cao Pi.
