Lü Bu has talent but no morality, and is doomed to have no good results in this life.

In the New Book of Tang, it is said: If you take copper as a mirror, you can wear a crown; if you take the ancient as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall; if you take people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses.
The Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history can be described as a gathering of storms and talents. Later, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", based on history, interpreted the character stories in it even more wonderfully.
A total of one hundred and twenty times of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the principles expounded are centered on the character's morality and morality, and the final foothold is on "loyalty and righteousness".
But have you ever found that the people who have always commented on the Three Kingdoms probably did not mention Lü Bu.
Although Lü Bu was born with Yu Xuan Ang, he was majestic. He held the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, and later got Dong Zhuo's beloved horse Red Rabbit, and he was even more heroic with a good colt, but posterity was reluctant to mention his name.
The reason is that he is not a person of integrity and honesty, and his moral character is very bad, so he avoids talking about it.
Nowadays, people look at people and rarely pay attention to the end of virtue, favor talents, and ignore their virtues. Especially in the workplace, everyone generally regards job hopping as a normal phenomenon.
Therefore, we take Lü Bu as an example today, hoping to give you some vigilance.

What is the reason for Lü Bu's betrayal of Ding Yuan and his defection to Dong Zhuo?
When Lü Bu was young, He was originally the righteous father of Jingzhou Thorn Shi Ding, who followed the battle and established many battle achievements.
When confronting Dong Zhuo, he was defeated by Zhuo Bing, causing Dong Zhuo's surprise and fear.
Therefore, Lü Bu's compatriot Li Su came forward and persuaded Lü Bu to change to Dong Zhuo's camp.
Why did Li Su dare to take on such a heavy responsibility? Because he knew that Lü Bu was brave and resourceful, but he saw profit and forgot righteousness.
It is recommended to use the red rabbit and good horses, plus one thousand gold, dozens of pearls, and one jade belt, with the intention of using these thick profits to lure Lü Bu.
This is the same situation as today's holding companies, with high jobs and high salaries, with famous cars and mansions, and asking people to jump ship to another company.
The difference is that Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, the two companies, the former is a long-established brand, everything is legal, while the latter is an illegal imitation factory, of course, can not casually carry the company's secret recipe, for the sake of profit and jump ship.
Moreover, in order to gain Dong Zhuo's attention, Lü Bu actually killed Ding Yuan. Carrying Ding Yuan's first rank, he went to ask for credit.
And as soon as they met, they worshiped Dong Zhuo as a righteous father, which made people feel even more shameless.
Although the wealth is sad, it will not be unkind and unjust for the sake of wealth, and at this point, it is no wonder that future generations of people refuse to mention him.
The Red Rabbit Horse is a famous horse, and Lü Bu should think of why Dong Zhuo is willing to give it up? He listened to the one-sided words of Li Su, the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang, saying that good birds choose trees to live in, and virtuous subjects choose the lord.
He also said that Dong Zhuo is a man of honor and courtesy, rewards and punishments are clear, and he will become a great cause in the future.
I also don't want to think that the buyer seeks glory, has been spurned by people, actually killed the lord to seek glory, and immediately changed the original concept of Dong Zhuo as a traitor, worship Dong Zhuo as a righteous father, which shows that he has no idea what righteousness is, and will do this unrighteousness.
Dong Zhuo wanted Lü Bu, but in order to depose The Young Emperor and establish Chen Liuwang, he could completely control the overall situation.
He was originally reluctant to give the red rabbit horse, and could not withstand Li Su's advice that "the lord wants to take the world, why borrow a horse", so he agreed to give it to Lü Bu.
Dong Zhuo Shema is for his own interests. Lü Bu killed the lord for the horse, which was to ruin his own future.
Most modern people do not believe in this statement, which is why society is so confused.
However, we have observed for a long time, and to this day, those who believe this sentence still have a great chance of success. Only lü bu as a lesson is our advice.

Lü Bu was highly skilled in martial arts, why did he die so pitifully?
Among the many characters in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it can be said that Lü Bu is the most pitiful one.
He had very favorable conditions, but he ended up like a dog, begging Liu Bei for help.
Liu Bei has always cherished benevolence, but unexpectedly said things unfavorable to Lü Bu, which made people feel that he was pitiful and did not deserve sympathy.
Cao Cao smiled and squinted at Lü Bu, who was like a fierce tiger, and was escorted to the tent without resistance.
What was he laughing at? Laughing at the time when Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo, if it were not for Lü Bu's bravery, he would have already become a heavy minister in the court, and there would be no need to work as hard as now.
What was he laughing at? How will Lü Bu, who has always been invincible in laughter, end today? Where is the usual majesty now?
If Lü Bu was not afraid of death, showed the arrogance of a general, and never asked for forgiveness, he might have touched Cao Cao's heart and stayed for his own use.
Lü Bu was not like this, and he begged Cao Cao for forgiveness and wanted to be Cao Cao's deputy. On the contrary, this reminded Cao Cao even more that the danger of using Lü Bu as his deputy was determined to kill him.
Cao Cao liked to kill people with a knife, so he asked Liu Bei, "What do you think?" ”
Liu Bei He often did not understand Cao Cao's intentions, but thinking of Lü Bu's unrighteousness, capriciousness, spinelessness, and disregard for shame, he couldn't help but tell the truth in his heart: "Think about the story of Ding Yuan Dong Zhuo. ”
Cao Cao borrowed Liu Bei's knife to kill Lü Bu, and Liu Bei also seized the opportunity to show his sincerity once again.
The most pitiful thing is Lü Bu, who has no self-awareness until his death, and is still scolding Liu Bei for being ungrateful.
Strong in martial arts, there is no guarantee that you will never be defeated, and the heroes of the world may also be embattled.
When Lü Bu was proud, he could not grasp a righteous word, and the result was that many acts of injustice would kill himself, and he was tied up by his own subordinates, and Cao Cao ordered him to be hanged.
How to die is not important, let posterity laugh in shame, with the circulation of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but also laugh all the time, it is the most pitiful.

Lü Bu died early, what is the important revelation?
Zeng Guofan, a famous minister of the Qing Dynasty, believed that officers must have five major conditions:
The first is to govern the people, the second is not to be afraid of death, the third is not to covet fame and fortune, the fourth is not to be afraid of suffering, and the fifth is the most fundamental, to have loyalty and blood.
He believes that with the nature of loyalty and blood, the four conditions mentioned above should all be fulfilled. If there is a lack of loyalty and blood, the rest may not be able to talk about.
Lü Bu's life has many enviable advantages. Strong in martial arts, known as invincible in the world.
Holding a fangtian painting halberd in his hand and riding a red rabbit horse that travels thousands of miles a day, it is no wonder that some people describe it like this: Lü Bu among people, red rabbit among horses.
Unfortunately, what he lacked was exactly what Zeng Guofan said, the most fundamental loyalty and bloodiness.
He was originally Ding Yuan's confidant, but because Dong Zhuo gave him many treasures and red rabbit horses, he saw that Li was oblivious and carried Ding Yuan's head to Dong Zhuo.
Later, because Wang Yun used the beauty plan to kill Dong Zhuo in order to fight with Dong Zhuo for the cicada.
Cao Cao was thirsty for talent, and he also knew that Lü Bu was a rare fierce general, but he was afraid that the story of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo would one day repeat itself, so he decided to behead Lü Bu.
Although loyal and righteous people hated disloyal and unrighteous villains, Cao Cao himself was unfaithful and unrighteous, and he was even afraid of unfaithful and unrighteous people.
It can be seen that the fierce generals who lack loyalty and bloodiness have become a burden on the opposite side of the martial arts.
Lü Bu and Guan Yu are also highly skilled in martial arts, but Guan Yu is respected because of his strong loyalty and blood.
Lü Bu was as disloyal and unjust as Cao Cao, but Cao Cao had a strategy and a strategy, and he was able to govern the people.
Lü Bu, however, was brave and unskilled, and would not treat his subordinates well, so that he had a martial art and was defeated by Cao Cao's men.
We do not say that Lü Buying died prematurely, we only say that he died early because he was self-inflicted and did not deserve sympathy, but can only say that he broke himself.

In short, Lü Bu was brave and invincible in his life, but because of his disloyalty and unrighteousness, his moral character was corrupt, and he was despised as a "family slave with three surnames", but in the end he was beheaded by Cao Cao, who loved him as he was destined.
Is there value in a person? Can a family thrive? Is a country strong? The key lies in the word character.
If the character is high, this person has value. If a family is of good character, the family is bound to prosper. The people attach importance to moral cultivation, and the country is naturally strong.
The great revelation of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is that in the sentient and righteous positions, it is far more worthy of everyone's respect than the position of the powerful.
If we read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if we can't improve our own character and promote the moral character of our families, it is equivalent to reading it in vain.
