Qingmei boiled wine, and Cao Cao asked Liu Bei, who can be called a hero? Liu Bei mentioned a person: "There is a person named Bajun, Weizhen Jiuzhou, Liu Jingsheng can be a hero?" ”
Cao Cao laughed: "Liu Biao is not a real name, not a hero." ”
Since then, Liu Biao has been defined as "false name". So, is the historical Liu Biao really so unbearable? Not necessarily.
Liu Biao was a post-40s (born in 142 AD), 47 years old from the beginning of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and in that era of young people acting arbitrarily, Liu Biao seemed too old.
Some people may say, this age is not a thing, Cheng Yu is not also a post-40s, how can he be stronger than Liu Biao? Mainly personality issues.
Liu Biao pays too much attention to feelings, and the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms says of him: "The outer is wide and the inner is jealous, the plot is indecisive, the talent is not used, the good is heard but cannot be accepted, the concubine is abolished, and the ceremony is revered." Cheng Yu is different, as a famous strategist of Cao Cao Group, he "has a plan and can judge big things", which is in stark contrast to Liu Biao's indecisiveness.
Later generations often compared Liu Biao and Yuan Shao together, but Yuan Shao was not as outrageous as he was. Both of them were very emotional, but at least Yuan Shao decisively kicked the eldest out when he was taking hostages. And Liu Biao, encountering the same situation, a total of two sons, both love, one does not want to kick out, the result is particularly embarrassing.
In 191 AD, Sun Jian invaded Jiangxia, and Taishou Huangzu led his troops to meet the battle, but suffered a crushing defeat and retreated into a bamboo forest. Huang Zu's subordinates were in the shadows, and when Sun Jian did not pay attention, he shot him in one fell swoop, and a generation of heroes fell inexplicably. When this matter reached Jiangdong, Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, was furious and immediately sent troops to take Jiangxia in one fell swoop, capture Huang Zu alive, and falsely sent a letter to Liu Biao.
The letter reads: Brother Liu, are we good at exchanging one life for another? Huang Zu is in my hand, you return my father's body to me, I will release Xiao Huang.
How does Liu Biao do it? He ignored the advice of Ku Liang and Qu Yue, agreed to this "equality treaty", and saved Huang Zu, a "general who was often defeated".
In the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms, which is so good to the subordinates, this Liu Biao's thick way is really incurable, but it can also add a bright color to the chaotic Three Kingdoms.
In addition, throughout Liu Biao's life, it is a love-hate feud with a "hot potato", and this "hot potato" is his Jingzhou.
Jingzhou is the land of four battles, the attack can go north to the Central Plains, the west is Bashu, the east is attacked by Jiangnan, and the defender can occupy one side, nourish and recharge, which is really a treasure land. Undoubtedly, everyone wanted such a treasure land, but it fell into the hands of Liu Biao. Ever heard the phrase "Piaf is innocent, but he is guilty"?
As a generous man of Jingzhou Mu, Liu Biao, in the first half of his life, "the name Ofe Bajun, Weizhen Jiuzhou, the clan room frantically grabbed potatoes", in middle age, "the building has fallen, the former dynasty was left behind, the thorn Shi Yu zhongzang potato", the second half of his life "guinea pigs fight, death is not blind, to the end Meng De nibbled on the potato", guarded the potato for a lifetime, or handed it to Cao Cao, in the end found that he was just a waiter, this mood, it is difficult to say ah!
Maybe what Liu Biao wanted was peace, but he was born in the wrong era, if in Liu Xiu's era, with his disposition, he was definitely a minister of humerus, but in such a turbulent era as the Three Kingdoms, only by deceiving himself could he survive, and the thick way was obviously useless.
In 208 AD, Liu Biao died under the threat of house arrest by Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and others at the age of 66. He finally didn't have to care about the "hot potato" anymore.
After Liu Biao's death, the second son Liu Qi's Kaicheng surrendered to Cao, and Jingzhou was lost; the eldest son, Liu Qi, left Zhenjiangxia and later fell into Liu Bei's camp. At this point, Liu Biao's "yam" has been on the table, and the mission has ended gloriously.
Zeng Gong, one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, had a poetry cloud ——
Jing sheng won two, and sat on the argument to win the ferocity. In the midst of mourning, it can make the haggard wide.
Colorful and solemn. It is not difficult to receive help from all the people, and it is not difficult to find a big letter.
The dragons and phoenixes of the princes have to wake up for a long time. If you have a solid foot, you will not be able to do it for no reason.
It is a lone oak, and I do not know how to take the chair. The cloud cover has a pole, sighing in the rational foot.
Liu Biao, in the end, came in a dignified manner, and walked in a dignified manner, but the mood of the two times was not the same! Liu Jingsheng, cautious, in this life.
