——Eastern Han Dynasty Wang Yue, "Heroes"
01
Several "special forces" in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty
In the era of cold weapons, the rise of a warlord must be sufficiently powerful.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the overall decline of the central imperial family, local forces gradually became stronger.
The warlords Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, and Lü Bu were among the representatives.
Why mention these three people?
Because all three of them were the first to have a formidable ace special warfare force.
Gongsun Zhan's ace team is called "White Horse Yicong",
Yuan Shao's ace team was called the "First Death Soldier",
Lü Bu's ace team is called the Trap Camp.
What kind of teams are these three?
Gongsun Zhan's "White Horse Yicong" was a light cavalry composed of sharp archers and white horses, numbering about 3,000 people.
Advantages are: fast, maneuverable, good at raiding, chasing.
The representative figure is Changshan Zhao Zilong.
Yuan Shao's "First Dead Soldier" was an infantry composed of heavily armored crossbows and shields, numbering about 1,000 people, and had the advantages of strong firepower and good at long-distance defense and attack.
The representative figure is Ju Yi of Wuwei, Gansu.
Lü Bu's "trapped camp" was a heavily armored infantry clad in armor and armed with sharp blades almost to the teeth, numbering about 800 people, and the advantages were: well-equipped, defensive, and good at close combat.
The representative figure is Gao Shun from Xiliang.
Who is the strongest of these three special forces?
According to historical records, the highly organized and disciplined "White Horse Yicong" light cavalry achieved brilliant results against the unorganized and disciplined nomadic cavalry.
In the second year of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the third year of the First Ping (191 and 192 AD), many major events occurred.
In the second year of Chuping, Sun Jian, the vanguard officer of the warlord alliance who attacked Dong Zhuo, led an army to conquer Luoyang and obtained the Chuanguo Jade Seal, while Dong Zhuo fled to Chang'an with the emperor in captivity.
Then, Yuan Shao, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, quickly sent troops to Luoyang to plunder the fruits of victory.
Sun Jian was not convinced, so he broke with Yuan Shao and decided to withdraw his troops with a "national treasure".
In order to obtain the Imperial Seal, Yuan Shao joined forces with the warlord Liu Biao of Jingzhou to intercept and kill Sun Jian.
This made the joint army of Dong Zhuo suddenly collapse, and various warlords withdrew to their garrisons.
Then, the various warlords began to fight.
In the second year of Chuping, after the warlord Cao Cao annihilated several Yellow Turban armies (peasant rebels), his power was firmly established in the Puyang area of Henan.
In the second year of Chuping, Liu Yan, a relative of the Eastern Han Dynasty and a warlord of Sichuan, declared independence.
In the second year of Chuping, Liu Bei, a poor western Han dynasty emperor, had a very small piece of land in Pingyuan County, Dezhou, Shandong.
In the third year of Chuping, Lü Bu and Wang Yun joined forces to kill Dong Zhuo in Chang'an.
In the third year of Chuping, Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao fought in a place called Jieqiao (jieqiao) (present-day Xingtaiwei County, Hebei).
In this battle, the two ace troops of "White Horse Yicong" and "First Dead Soldier" officially met.
As a result, the commanders of the two sides adopted different tactics, and as a result, the "White Horse Yicong" who was not good at impacting was slaughtered by the long-distance heavy crossbow of the "First Dead Soldier".
After this battle, "White Horse Yicong" was "eliminated" from the military "fighting arena".
In the third year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo's old subordinates Li Dai and Guo Feng led troops to attack Chang'an, causing Lü Bu to flee to Yuan Shu in defeat, Wang Yun to be killed, and the local warlords Han Sui and Ma Teng also took the opportunity to start a military disaster.
In the third year of Chuping, after Cao Cao's eastern expedition against Yanzhou (兖州, in present-day Jining, Shandong) destroyed 300,000 Yellow Turban troops, he selected his elite to carry out "military reorganization", formed a "Qingzhou Army" of about 100,000 people, and rebuilt the "base area", greatly increasing its strength.
At that time, the Yuan Shao clique, which had the special forces of the "First Death Soldier", had become the strongest warlord after the great defeat of the Gongsun Zhan clique.
However, with the soaring achievements of the battle, Ju Yi, the commander of the "First Dead Soldier", could not find the "North".
Who is "North"?
For Ju Yi, the "north" is Yuan Shao, the master of Ju Yi.
What kind of person is Yuan Shao?
Xun Yu, the chief think tank in Cao Cao's camp, once said:
Shao, the male ear of the cloth, can gather people but cannot use it.
- Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, And The Chronicle of Emperor Wu
Another big thinker, Guo Jia, also commented:
(Yuan Shao) is multi-terminal and indecisive.
——" Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, Cheng Guo Dong, Liu Jiang, Liu Biography
And Yuan Shao's comments on Yuan Shao by Xiao Cao Cao were:
Shao Zhi is a man, with great ambition and small wisdom, fierce and timid, jealous and less powerful, many soldiers and unclear drawings, arrogant and inconsistent government orders.
——Cao Cao, "Let the County Zhiming Ben Zhi Ling"
Therefore, ju yi, who was proud of his achievements, was soon cut off by Yuan Shao.
The "First Dead Soldier" force created by Ju Yi was also divided and dissolved.
At this time, Lü Bu's "trapped camp", Cao Cao's "tiger and leopard riding", Ma Chao's "Western Liang Iron Horse", Liu Bei's "Bai Yi Soldier" and other special combat units had not yet been born.
02
Lü Bu's traces
Sometimes, it is not man who chooses history, but history that chooses man.
The chaotic history of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty gave Lü Bu many opportunities.
Initially, Lü Bu was favored by Ding Yuan, the "commander" of Hezhou (present-day Shanxi), because of his skillful soldiers and horses.
Commander Ke Ding did not know what to think, and even asked Lü Bu to abandon Wu and change from Wen to his own administrative secretary.
(Not Ding Yuan's son as described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms)
Later, Ding Yuan was ordered by He Jin, the "minister of national defense" of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to come to Luoyang to participate in the "rebellion".
(Killing eunuchs)
However, due to improper planning, Ding Yuan had just arrived in Luoyang, and He Jin was killed by the eunuchs.
Without "superior leadership", Ding Yuan had to take Lü Bu and others to stay in Luoyang temporarily.
However, at this time, Dong Zhuo, the "commander of the Northwest Military Region" of the Eastern Han Dynasty, also came to Luoyang according to He Jin's orders to "suppress the chaos."
When Dong Zhuo saw the situation in the imperial court, his ambitions increased in vain, and he took the opportunity to carry out a "coup" (deposing the emperor and establishing the emperor + killing people), and succeeded.
After taking control of the imperial court, Dong Zhuo continued to wield his sword to exclude dissidents.
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and a group of other people whose brains were spinning fast all ran away one after another.
Ding Yuan, whose brain was not very smart and was not Dong Zhuo's concubine, did not run.
Dong Zhuo decided to get rid of Ding Yuan.
He found Lü Bu.
Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu were not familiar with each other before, so why did Ding Yuan look for Lü Bu?
Various history books have not clearly given a reason for this.
Extrapolating, it may be that Lü Bu has been dissatisfied with Ding Yuan's work arrangements.
Usually, there are emotional angers and verbal complaints.
After Lü Bu killed Ding Yuan, he received a generous reward:
The first was to take over Ding Yuan's troops.
The second is to recognize Dong Zhuo's "dry father",
The third was to be promoted to an official position (Zhonglang General) and obtain a knighthood (Marquis of Duting).
At first, the pair got along well with each other and the "dry father and son" they needed.
Especially when the warlords led by Yuan Shao attacked Luoyang, the "father and son" were also very united.
Later, after the war was unfavorable, Dong Zhuo withdrew to Chang'an, and there were some contradictions.
Old Dong was grumpy, reprimanded Lü Bu for small things, and in anger, he stabbed Lü Bu with the small halberd he carried with him.
Lü Bu is not a fuel-saving lamp.
Because he could often enter and exit Dong Zhuo's palace, he hooked up with one of Dong Zhuo's concubines (not mink cicadas).
Therefore, Lü Bu was very worried, always afraid that Lao Dong would "calculate the general ledger".
Therefore, Wang Yun, the Eastern Han Dynasty Situ (deputy prime minister in charge of culture and education), who had pretended to surrender, found Lü Bu.
After Wang Yun's "earnest teaching" and analysis of the pros and cons, Lü Bu decided to attack Lao Dong first.
(Lu) Bu Yue: "Nai Ru father and son Ho! ”
(Wang) Yun Yue: "Junzi's surname is Lü, and he is not flesh and bones. Now that I am worried about death, what is father and son? ”
(Lü) Bu Sui Xuzhi, hand blade stabbing (Dong) Zhuo.
——Chen Shou, Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Then, under the operation of Wang Yun, Lü Bu's official position and title were promoted to the rank of General of Fenwu (able to open the capital independently) and Marquis of Wen.
That is to say, Lü Bu successfully "grew" from a civilian cadre at the county and department level to a high-ranking cadre at the level of "commander of a large corps" through two "killings".
Within a few days of the good times, bad luck came—Dong Zhuo's old subordinates Li Dai and Guo Feng launched the Chang'an rebellion.
In a panic, Lü Bu abandoned Chang'an and fled.
He first defected to Yuan Shu, and when he saw that Yuan Shu did not want to see him, he turned around and turned to Yuan Shao, who did not deal with Yuan Shu.
After a brief "honeymoon" with Yuan Shao, he was resentful of Yuan Shao and assassinated because of his pride in his achievements and his ability to reach for power.
So Lü Bu escaped again.
Where to go?
He decided to go to Zhang Yang, a former colleague (who had also worked under Ding Yuan), and now the small warlord Zhang Yang of Hanoi (in present-day Anyang, Henan, around Hebi).
Zhang Yang took a fancy to Lü Bu's bravery, and as soon as his mind was hot, he took Lü Bu in.
And Lü Bu was also honest, put away his arrogance, and clipped his tail.
According to Lü Bu's temperament, if he has been publicizing here for a long time, it is difficult to say whether there will be another "killing of old leaders".
However, Zhang Yang was lucky.
He did not wait for Lü Bu to make a mistake, and Lü Bu left early.
Because of one person, Zhang Miao.
Zhang Mi was a minor warlord of Chen Liu (陳留) (in present-day Kaifeng, Henan) whom Lü Bu had the privilege of meeting on his way to escape.
The small warlord Zhang Mi had a good relationship with the more powerful warlord Cao Cao at that time, and had a better relationship with Cao Cao's friend and subordinate Chen Gong.
In the past two years, Cao Cao has been conquering the west and constantly expanding his territory.
In particular, after the "reorganization" of a part of the Yellow Turban Army, its strength has greatly increased, and it has become a small warlord to a medium and large warlord.
In the fourth year of Chuping (193 AD), Cao Cao launched a major attack on the Xuzhou warlord Tao Qian, on the pretext that his father was killed in Xuzhou.
Before the expedition, he left the most trusted Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Chen Gong, Xiahou Huan and others in yanzhou.
Unexpectedly, Chen Gong was in turmoil.
There are many historical accounts of Chen Gong's rebellion against Cao, but the main reason is actually his own personality.
He was the first to support and help Cao Cao, and the first to part ways with Cao Cao.
He is wise, but his mind is unorthodox.
To put it bluntly, it is a "schizophrenic complex of contradictions."
At that time, the world was divided, and the opportunity to make a name for itself was everywhere.
If you can't see Cao Cao, you can pat your ass and leave, if you want to claim the king and dominate yourself, you can also pull the team to the top of the mountain to "make a revolution"?
Why incite others to make trouble?
Chen Gong made a fool of Zhang Mi, who was somewhat "brain-dead", and decided to carry Lü Bu, who was in a state of decline, up - to engage in a mutiny!
As soon as Lü Bu heard that there were such good things that could not be done in dreams, he was hot-headed and immediately agreed.
The Yanzhou defensive force was empty, and there was also an internal ghost strategy, and Lü Bu succeeded!
In this way, Lü Bu began to have a piece of his own territory and a group of staff, and officially became a warlord along the way.
It was also at this time that Lü Bu also had the opportunity and resources to let the general Gao Shun form an ace force to "trap the camp".
03
Being the boss of a conglomerate is not fun
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many separatist forces, just like the XX group company that is now blooming everywhere.
As the saying goes, it is better to work than to be a boss.
However, being the boss of a group company is not fun.
Lü Bu used to be the boss of Ding Yuan, the boss of Dong Zhuo, the boss of Yuan Shu, the boss of Yuan Shao, and the boss of Zhang Yang.
Now, by chance, he has also set up a group company to become the boss.
So, how will the boss Lü Bu and his group company stand and develop in the future?
Lü Bu is actually not clear.
Someone once said: a position, not just let one sit, you can sit.
Because it is easy to sit up, it is the skill to sit and sit for a long time.
Lü Bu is a martial artist who has grown up rapidly by means of brutality, violence, and speculation, how much wisdom and life pattern can he have in a short period of time?
But now that you Lü Bu is the boss, you don't decide the direction, what should everyone do?
Let's first analyze the current situation and main tasks facing his company for Lü Bu:
First, consider who is the main enemy at the moment and how to deal with and defeat the enemy.
You know, Cao Cao's elite main force at that time was there, the strength was very strong, and retaliation was certain.
Suggestion: Stockpile supplies, prepare soldiers and horses, choke the main road, and prepare to meet the enemy.
Lü Bu responded: This is not worrying.
Old Lu I may not be able to do anything else, who are we afraid of before the battle!
Second, it is necessary to assess the warlord forces around Yanzhou.
At that time, in addition to the main enemy Cao Cao, the Lü Bu clique also had old enemies such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Li Dai.
The best thing for a nascent force is to ally itself with the old power bloc.
Who is it allied with?
Suggestion: Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are still in the "honeymoon period", and Li Dai is too far away, in contrast, he should reconcile and ally with Yuan Shu.
Lü Bu responded: Our old Lü and these people have a bad relationship, why do we form an alliance?
Third, we must do a good job in internal repression and stability.
Lü Bu took part of Yanzhou by sneak attack, and the receiving soldiers and cities were bound to waver in their thoughts and actions before Cao Cao was destroyed.
Recommendation: Appease officials, comfort the people, guide public opinion and strengthen intelligence information collection.
Lü Bu responded: They have all surrendered, they are all afraid of our old Lu, what problems can there be?
These points are actually the minimum preparation of the plan. What about the Kolyub Group?
Basically none of it was done.
Chen Gong, as the chief staff of the group, should be able to think of these issues first and make reasonable suggestions.
But in fact, Chen Gong's performance was far from his pretentious talent.
A few years later, when Zhuge Liang, a young man in the countryside, did not experience actual combat training, he had already taken the lead in analyzing the situation in the world.
Therefore, at this point, Chen Gong, who is highly regarded by many people, is actually far inferior to Zhuge Liang, but even compared with Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Tian Feng and others in the same period, it is also a big gap.
This is the obvious difference between people's minds, visions, and patterns.
The reason why the Cao Cao clique was able to rise in the chaotic era of the Eastern Han Dynasty was no accident.
His personal intelligence, cultural accomplishment, personality charm, adaptability, leadership art, military quality, political strategy and employment methods are definitely among the best in the history of Shenzhou.
For example, the boss of Tao Qian and the boss of Liu Biao in the same period, although they also sat in a position, could they keep their position and sit in a seat?
In military wars in ancient and modern times, it is shameless for divisions to be nameless, and it is even more a manifestation of rogues to engage in sneak attacks.
Lü Bu attacked Yanzhou and secretly attacked Cao Cao, to put it bluntly, "jumping in the neighbor's courtyard to steal clothes in the daytime" - cockroach thief!
Moreover, after stealing the neighbor's things, he also said that he had become rich by labor and was the boss.
But what was this cockroach thief before you?
Isn't it a thief that everyone shouts at?
Do you think you'll be eligible for the Bosses Club by wearing a few designer outfits?
Cao Cao, who was preparing to attack Xuzhou, learned that his family had been stolen, so he returned with his men and horses.
On the head-to-head competition, it is estimated that 3 Cao Cao can not do Lü Bu.
But the old Cao Bing is strong and strong, why would he choose to single it out.
Therefore, as soon as Cao Cao's team returned, there was chaos within Yanzhou.
There are those who hope that Cao Cao will lose, and there are also those who hope that Cao Cao will win.
If Lü Bu could be unreasonable at this time and quickly annihilate Cao Cao's corps with three strokes and five divisions, the situation would have changed greatly.
But Cao Cao is easy to deal with!
After the two sides have experienced several encounters (each side has won or lost), Lü Bu is a bit "shy".
Finally, in a decisive battle, Lü Bu was ambushed by Cao Cao and was killed and lost his armor, but thanks to Gao Shun's "trapped camp" desperately resisting, Lü Bu was able to escape.
There are enemies and enemies everywhere, where to go?
It is estimated that Chen Gong made a proposal to go to Xuzhou (Zhengshi did not explain).
Why go to Xuzhou?
Because Xuzhou was Cao Cao's enemy, and the enemy's enemy was a friend.
Second, Xuzhou's defender will be Liu Bei, who has no vendetta against Lü Bu, has a large territory, and has the opportunity to talk about cooperation.
04
Lü Bu's mind you don't guess
At this time, Liu Bei was indeed still very weak, or Tao Qian specially invited him to deal with Cao Cao (belonging to the guest house).
For Lü Bu's sudden arrival, Liu Bei's mentality was very complicated.
Bu Saw Bei, very respectful, said Bei: "I am also with Qing and the people of the border area." Bu saw that Kwantung had raised an army and wanted to attack Dong Zhuo. Cloth kills Zhuo Dong out, and all the Kwantung generals who have no Ambu want to kill Boo. ”
Please sit on the woman's bed in the tent, make the woman worship, drink wine and eat, and be a brother in the name.
It is not uncommon to see that the language of cloth is impermanent, and the outside is not spoken of inside.
Liu Bei was actually not familiar with Lü Bu at all.
The "Three Ying Battles Lü Bu" that everyone talks about is actually a "legend".
But since Lü Bu came, Liu Bei did not mean that he could easily send Lü Bu away.
First of all, Lü Bu did not come alone, he had soldiers and horses to accompany him.
Second, everyone's goal is the same for guarding against the current common enemy, Cao Cao.
Third, Lü Bu's Fenwei generals and Wen Hou were all sealed by the imperial family, and indeed killed Dong Zhuo, which was moral for Liu Bei, who supported the royal family.
Fourth, from a military point of view, it is beneficial to the defense of Xuzhou to temporarily join forces with the Lü bu clique.
But why did Liu Bei show that "the outside is not said inside" (saying: Tong Fake Character, Yue)?
Because Liu Bei did not approve of Lü Bu's words and exaggerated actions of "selling himself and boasting".
Liu Bei thought to himself:
Old Lu, who are you to be here?
Are you sincerely going to kill Dong Zhuo a long time ago?
Why does everyone want to kill you?
Men talk, what do you do to get your wife and children involved?
Unhappy, but Liu Bei finally "approved" Lü Bu and others to join the application.
This year is the second year of Xingping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (195 AD).
Sure enough, the good days of Lu and Liu Erxiong's peaceful coexistence were not long, and the war in Xuzhou came.
In the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (196 AD), Cao Cao, on the advice of Xun Yu and other strategists, was busy pacifying the localities, training troops in Tuntian, eliminating the surrounding hostile small warlords, greeting Emperor Xian of Han, and organizing the relocation of the capital to Xuchang. For a time, I couldn't take care of Xuzhou for the time being.
But not caring about fighting does not mean that xuzhou will be abandoned from now on.
Lao Cao and his staff officers opened up for a few moments, and then mobilized the warlord Yuan Shu, who was in Huainan, to "occupy Xuzhou".
Cao Cao's idea was: Although labor and capital cannot take care of Xuzhou now, they cannot let Xuzhou live in peace.
Yuan Shu's idea was: Anyway, the labor capital has a jade seal in his hand, and he will be the emperor in the future, and Xuzhou will be born early.
Therefore, while Cao Cao was hiding in XuDu and laughing, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei fought.
However, Yuan Shu was a man of great ambition and talent, and after fighting with Liu Bei for several months, he was unable to take Xuzhou.
At the suggestion of the strategists, Yuan Shu decided to use 2,000 tons of military food to co-opt and lure Lü Bu, who was also stationed in Xuzhou, to "oppose the water".
Sure enough, this time, Liu Bei's ally Lü Bu was really "anti-water".
In this way, Liu Bei, who was attacked on his stomach and back, was defeated.
With no way to escape, Liu Bei had to cry and surrender to the shameless Lü Bu.
Lü Bu was happy and angry.
Happily, this "shamelessness" of his own was able to easily take down the entire Xuzhou.
What was angry was that his "shameless" behavior did not get the military food that Yuan Shu promised to give.
Lü Bu thought to himself: Well, then don't fight, first digest and digest your stomach.
Yuan Shu did not get food in his stomach, so naturally he did not recognize it, so he continued to send troops to attack Liu Bei.
Liu Bei had no choice but to endure the grief and indignation in his heart, and once again cried to the shameless Lü Bu for help.
This time, Lü Bu, who had just become Liu Bei's eldest brother, showed "responsibility" and used an allusion to "shoot at the gate" to dramatically quell the war in Xuzhou.
Yuan Shu saw that Lü Bu's strength had doubled, and he planned to make a sincere alliance with Lü Bu in the future--proposing to marry his children and relatives.
In hindsight, Zhuge Liang said that this strategy of Yuan Shu was undoubtedly the most in line with the interests of both Yuan and Lü at that time.
The warlord Yuan Shu was bent on declaring himself emperor, but he had been suffering from the lack of first-class military generals under him.
If the Lü Bu clique in Xuzhou is successfully united, not only will the "base areas" around Jianghuai be connected into pieces, but it will also have the capital to suppress the surrounding forces and eventually confront the sworn enemy Yuan Shao.
Similarly, if Lü Bu formed an alliance with Yuan Shu, he would also have strategic depth and rear resources, and it was possible to further develop and strengthen himself in the more brutal military competition in the future.
However, for the "olive branch" thrown by Yuan Shu, Lü Bu was confused.
He first agreed to Yuan Shu, and then repented with great speed, making Yuan Shu angry and embarrassed, and had to fight hard.
What was the reason why Lü Bu was so capricious at this time?
There are three points.
The first point is that chen gong is no longer trusted.
After Lü Bu captured Xuzhou, some of his subordinates launched a rebellion, but the chief of staff Chen Gong did not report it and even participated in the plot.
What was Chen Gong's motivation for doing this?
It should be against Lü Bu's shameless practice of stabbing the knife in the back, and he is very disappointed in Lü Bu's performance.
The second point is that I began to trust Chen Jue and Chen Deng's father and son.
Chen Jue and Chen Deng were both prominent local families in Xuzhou, belonging to the royalist and pro-Cao factions (Cao Cao had an emperor in his hands, representing the official of the True Sect), and could speak eloquently and seduce Lü Bu.
Li Zhen, a Qing dynasty man, had a comment: Chen Jue's father and son, making Lü Bu like a baby, poor Lü Bu did not know it at all.
Third, Cao Cao was not idle.
Cao Cao originally hoped to see a "dog-eat-dog" melee in Xuzhou, but it turned out that the great enemy Lü Bu had benefited, so he played a trick: in the name of the emperor (who had already threatened the son of heaven), he announced that he would make friends with Lü Bu in the future, and promoted Lü Bu to the rank of left general of the Eastern Han Dynasty (equivalent to the rank of marshal).
Lü Bu believed all three points.
Therefore, his big head, which was not enough, was even more insufficient.
So much so that the advice of Gao Shun and others who sincerely treated him also made an order to "seize his military power."
What is even more incomprehensible is that Lü Bu also made a decision to "suppress" Liu Bei, who had already surrendered.
When you Lü Bu was in a downfall, Liu Bei accepted you;
When Liu Bei was living and dying, you Lü Bu not only did not shoot but stabbed the knife in the back.
When Liu Bei surrendered to you Lü Bu, you were not ashamed to surrender, and then patted your chest and called you a brother, and then went back to slaughter.
Lü Bu, people can not have faces, but you can't be so faceless, right?
Liu Bei, who was full of grief and anger, could not beat Lü Bu, so he had to cry and go to Cao Cao.
If Liu Bei would not be jealous of Lü Bu, then Liu Bei was not a man.
Well, Lü Bu, who occupied Xuzhou, got the city, but suddenly established two sworn enemies, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei.
Why did Cao Cao, a former sworn enemy, show favor to Lü Bu?
Because, at this time, the person everyone hates the most is Yuan Shu, who dares to take the lead in claiming the title of emperor.
Cao Cao needed to unite with Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, Lü Bu, Liu Bei, and other warlords to jointly fight yuan shu in the name of emperor.
Didn't Cao Cao remember Lü Bu's vendetta?
Non also.
It is not that Cao Cao does not remember revenge, but that the time has not yet come.
05
If you don't die, you don't count as Lü Bu
In the third year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (198 AD), after repeated crusades, the Cao Cao clique and the Yuan Shao clique each eliminated the small warlords around them and became the two largest forces in the north at that time.
Then, the "honeymoon period" of Cao and Yuan also reached the final days, and the two groups began to have friction.
Cao Cao knew very well that his main opponent at present was Yuan Shao, and the enemy he hated the most was Lü Bu.
Cao Cao knew better that a war with Yuan Shao was inevitable, a protracted war and a war of attrition;
The capricious Lü Bu is a bomb that needs to be disposed of quickly.
Who will do Lü Bu first?
Cao Cao ordered Liu Bei to disrupt Lü Bu's lines of communication and rob Lü Bu of money, grain, and supplies.
Lü Bu was furious and immediately retaliated against Liu Bei.
At this time, Lü Bu's "trapped camp" had been reorganized, and under the command of Gao Shun, Liu Bei's forces and Cao Cao's reinforcements (Xiahou Huanbu) were defeated.
Riding on yuan shao's side, there was no action or reaction, and in September of that year, Cao Cao personally led the main force and attacked Lü Bu in a big way.
This war was interpreted by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms into many legendary stories.
There are many wonderful passages, we will only say the final ending:
In December, Cao Cao attacked Lü Bu in Xuzhou and beheaded him.
--Fan Ye, Book of the Later Han Dynasty
In March, Taizu Wei was divided up and down, and he bound Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei to the Chen Palace and lowered them.
--Chen Shou, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wei
That is to say, from the time Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, it took only three months to completely annihilate the Lü Bu clique.
There has always been such a saying about Lü Bu's death: at a critical time, Liu Bei stabbed Lü Bu.
Bu please said: "Ming Gong is not suffering from the cloth, and now that he has served, the world is not worried." Ming Gong will step, Ling Bu will ride, then the world is not enough to determine also. ”
Taizu was suspicious.
Liu Beijin said: "Ming Gong did not see the cloth ding Jianyang and Dong Taishihu! ”
Taizu Jaw.
Bouin pointed to the book: "He is the most faithful." ”
According to this, it has been handed down that Liu Bei is not a kind person.
In fact, Lü Bu's death is a word - to do.
Bu said to Taizu: "Cloth will wait for all the generals Houye, and all the generals will rebel against Bu'er in a hurry." ”
Taizu Yue: "Qing betrays his wife and loves the wives of the generals, why is it thick?" ”
Boo Moran.
What does it mean?
Lü Bu said unconvincedly: I am very kind to my subordinates, and at the critical time, these subordinates have betrayed me if they are not rude. That's why I failed.
Cao Cao said: Talk about houdao? Is it a sign of kindness that you have your back (bei) on your wife and the wives of your subordinates?
Lü Bu: Lü Bu, a generation of tyrants, died in the newly established Xuzhou seat of Xia Pi (present-day Suining County, Jiangsu).
Its most loyal general, Gao Shun, and the sharpest blade in the army at that time" "trapped the camp", and also disappeared.
In fact, history is like this.
At the time of the storm, history will choose many people and abandon many people.
Those who are ultimately able to succeed in history will certainly have a certain element of luck. But at the end of the day, his personal abilities are the most important.
Compared with Liu Bei, who also loves to surrender, Lü Bu can not blush.
However, although Liu Bei surrendered repeatedly (which can also be regarded as "job hopping"), his main motivation was to seek better personal development and progress space.
What about Lü Bu?
The motivation is a "profit" word.
"Lee" is with a "knife".
In the process of seeking profit, it is often accompanied by blood and cruelty.
It's like a kid with a brain that doesn't grow up...
