Speaking of Liu Bei's belief that many people's first impression is the embodiment of "Rende", and the first reaction of everyone who mentions Cao Cao is "chaotic world adultery", in fact, we have such an understanding is not completely wrong. First of all, Liu Bei was an orthodox descendant of the Han Dynasty, and he himself had the "right of public opinion" in the Three Kingdoms period, while Cao Cao first ordered the army to "eat human flesh" when he was cornered (Three Kingdoms Chronicles Chen YuChuan: At the beginning, Cao Cao lacked food, Yu omitted his own county, provided three-day eclipses, quite a mixture of human breasts, from being lost in the dynasty, so the throne was not just), and then he wanted to slaughter the people of Xuzhou when he was full of spirit (Three Kingdoms Chronicles Tao Qian: Four years of Chuping, Taizu Zhengqian, attacked more than ten cities, and fought the Battle of Pengcheng. The Qian army was defeated, tens of thousands of people died, and Surabaya did not flow), and more importantly, Cao Cao slaughtered the city more than once.
Cao Cao, the Lord of the Three Kingdoms
This is also why in the comparison between Liu Bei's forces and Cao Cao's forces during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei was at an absolute disadvantage but there were still many capable generals to turn to, but in such a chaotic world as the Three Kingdoms, did Liu Bei really rely only on Rende to get into the position of Emperor Zhaolie? The answer is definitely no, after all, people are not ruthless and unstable, as the representative of Rende in the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei also killed four generals for his own power, it can be said that the establishment of the future Shu Han Empire is also closely related to these four generals who were killed.

1. Riding General Yang Feng
Speaking of the che riding generals at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, I believe that there are not many people who know, and when it comes to Yang Feng, everyone may still have a little impression, but it is such a general who is not much impressed by everyone who has escorted Emperor Xian of Han all the way back to Luoyang, and also escorted Emperor Xian back to Luoyang and repeatedly sent troops to invade Cao Cao's Yanzhou. In the end, even if Yang Feng was defeated by Cao Cao, he was not discouraged, but under the persuasion of Lü Bu, he began to loot Liu Bei's ordnance, and was eventually booby-trapped by Liu Bei in the Xuzhou area!

2. Xuzhou Thorn History Car Gizzard
Che Ji can be said to be one of the few tragic warriors in the entire history of the Three Kingdoms, and he was originally named the Assassin of Xuzhou after Cao Cao quelled the Xuzhou Rebellion. As a result, not long after taking office, he was killed by the left generals Liu Bei and Dong Cheng, who plotted to rebel. Originally, Che Gui's plan was to wait for Liu Bei to leave the city and ambush him at the edge of the urn city, but as a result, who had thought that Chen Deng directly told Liu Bei the whole plan, resulting in Che Ji being directly killed by Guan Yu in battle.

3. Runan Taishou Caiyang
In the sixth year of Jian'an, Cai Yang, as the Taishou of Runan, was ordered by Cao Cao to attack the thief Kou Gongdu and others who had joined forces with Liu Bei, but as a result, he did not think that he was inferior to others and was killed by Liu Bei's army. (In the rendition, Zhang Fei suspected that Guan Yu had the intention of betraying Liu to throw cao, so he asked Guan Yu to kill Cai Yang in the three-way drum.) ）

4. Yang Huai, the governor of Baishui
The last general to be killed by Liu Bei, Yang Huai, the governor of Baishui, could be said to be one of the few generals under Liu Zhang of Chuanshu (Pang Tong's evaluation was: Liu Zhang's army!). And because he held the military power and defended the important place, even Liu Bei did not have much to do with Yang Huai. At the same time, Yang Huai was also a roadblock for Liu Bei to occupy Liu Zhang's Sichuan Shu, so for Liu Bei Yang Huai had to die, in this case Liu Bei could only openly kill Yang Huai in the liquor bureau by pretending to invite Liu Zhang's son Liu Yan to drink Yang Huai as a companion. Liu Bei, who had sought to obtain the whole of Sichuan Shu, did not treat Liu Zhang's family kindly, and it can be seen from Liu Yan's final trip to Eastern Wu as an official, and the official to Sun Wu Yushi's position as a cheng can be seen.

If you want to become a generation of overlords, it is certainly not enough to rely only on benevolence, and the object of benevolence is only loyal to his own generals, and he can only hold the butcher's knife high for the enemy, otherwise the benevolence of the enemy will only turn himself into a lamb to be slaughtered. Liu Bei can be said to have at the same time possessed the self-confidence, decisiveness, domineering, benevolence, and cunning that all monarchs in the entire Three Kingdoms did not have!
