Continuing above, when Cao Cao and Liu Bei were "talking about heroes", Guan Yu and Zhang Fei broke in, allowing Liu Bei to relieve the siege for a while, and also allowing Cao Cao to see something - the loyalty of these two to Liu Bei was comparable to that of Wei! After the wine was over, Liu Bei explained to Guan and Zhang why they cultivated all day, and they also reached a resonance; but this was only an introduction in the text, not to describe Liu Bei's wisdom. How could such a clumsy strategy confuse Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and others? As you can see, the focus is below.
After Gongsun Zhan was defeated by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's strength increased greatly, which meant that there were only three forces in the north, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao, and it also meant that at this time, Liu Bei was not Cao Cao's enemy, and Cao Cao did not regard him as an enemy from beginning to end. At this time, Cao Cao would naturally focus on the north, one was Yuan Shao, the other was Yuan Shu, which was also his goal and plan to unify the world. Later, Cao Cao revealed this mood in "Guancang Sea".
The current situation also gave Liu Bei a chance to escape Cao Cao, and the text said: "Don't I just find a way to get out at this time, and when will I stay?" From Liu Bei's point of view, he had no need to flee; Cao Cao had no intention of killing him, but wanted to reuse him. However, Liu Bei wanted to run. In fact, it shows the darkness of human nature. Once Gongsun Zhan had the grace of knowing Liu Bei, and Liu Bei did not turn to him; now, Cao Cao has the grace to save Liu Bei's life, and Liu Bei is playing conspiracies and tricks in a small belly. This dark side of human nature is shameful!
After that, Cao Cao began to "release Liu Bei three times"! He gave Liu Bei 50,000 troops and horses, and then under the pressure of Xun Yu and Guo Jia, he had to let Xu Chu take 500 men and horses to "chase" Liu Bei. It was a joke – what was the concept of 500 vs 50,000 at that time? It can be seen from this that Cao Cao's heart is broad-minded!
Back in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao had his plans: 1. Who were the 50,000 soldiers and horses? This belongs to himself and to the Eastern Han Dynasty; in the end, it belongs to him. 2. 50,000 soldiers and horses were exchanged for a fight between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, and the final result was that both of them were defeated. 3. Yuan Shao is Cao Cao's main enemy at present. 4。 Cao Cao greatly admired Liu Guanzhang. This is the result of the analysis of the current situation. Its root lies in Liu Bei's morality and in Cao Cao's beliefs - morality! What if he killed a Liu Bei, and what if he killed Liu Guanzhang? People always have to have a pursuit, right? This is the reason why Cao Cao "put Liu Bei three times".
After that, Liu Bei ran away and said to Xu Chu, "The king's life will not be spared!" "You're a bit excessive, Liu Bei?" Cao Cao treated you to make up for it; how could you Liu Bei do such a ruthless and unrighteous thing? ay...... People with wolf hearts and dog lungs can never change their nature.
In fact, this process is also the process of Liu Bei's transformation, from an obscure smith to a person who is visible to the world, so that he deeply knows the meaning of foolishness. When Guan Yu killed Che Guan, he was blinded and overwhelmed, afraid of how Cao Cao would be, and how his brother would be, and he also did his best for the Eastern Han Dynasty. This is Liu Bei!
At that time, when he went to Xuzhou, he could kill Che Ji, Ji Ling, and others, but he did not do so and turned to attack Yuan Shu. This shows Liu Bei's loyalty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and also makes a clear interpretation of the word "loyalty" - it is the heart rather than the interest! Later, Guan Gong cut off the car, leaving Liu Bei in a trance: on the left was the brother, on the right was Cao Cao's blade; where would he go?
Guan Yu gave the answer: justice is justice, there is no ambiguous concept. He cut off the car, in a sense, he also taught Liu Bei a lesson, teaching Liu Bei how to behave. At this point, I very much agree with Guan Yu's approach - the eldest husband should be clear about right and wrong, and make a decision on the spot! Looking back at Liu Bei: He already had the heart to betray Cao Cao and the Eastern Han Dynasty, so why should he hide it? This is where I despise Liu Bei. Imagine this: everyone is pursuing justice, and it is necessary to disturb the heart for trivial matters? Boldly going forward is the sun, rain and sand, which is absolutely and absolutely true.
However, Liu Bei hesitated, maybe he had his ideas, or maybe he didn't want to see Li Min suffer so much, but I think he was going to change. I think this is also the real meaning of Guan Gong's car chop!
Stay tuned for Brother Pig! Tomorrow, Brother Pig will continue to talk!
