However, Liu Bei was the county magistrate of Anxi, then the county magistrate of Pingyuan, acting as the secretariat of Xuzhou, and became the secretariat of Yuzhou and Jingzhou and Yizhou. It can be said that he spent most of his life in the war. Later, Liu Bei established the Shu-Han regime and became emperor. His military strength continued to grow until the last three minutes, which showed that he fought the war effectively. The Three Kingdoms is an era of infighting between princes and warlords. It's hard to get a foothold without understanding the military. Let Cao Pi and Lu Xun say that they are "Liu Bei who knows no soldiers". Why did they build this country?
Liu Bei lost more than he won, but he never gave up.
Liu Bei lost more and won less, but Liu Bei was different from those princes who fell into a trough. Liu Bei never gave up, fell and got up again, always looking for a chance to make a comeback. Liu Bei began to crusade against the Huangta Army, and because of his outstanding achievements, he became the magistrate of Gaotang County. After being defeated by the Yellow Scarf Army, Liu Bei defected to Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan named him Sima, sending him to follow Qingzhou secretariat Tian Ji to guard against Yuan Shao. Because of his active fighting, he became the county magistrate of Pingyuan County. After the death of Tao Qian, Liu Bei succeeded Tao Qian as the secretariat of Xuzhou. At that time, Liu Bei made a big mistake and took in Lu Bu who was defeated by Cao Cao! During the war between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, Lu Bu attacked and occupied Xiapi City, and Liu Bei had to make peace with Lu Bu. However, Liu Bei was not attached to Lu Bu. He is willing to be both a resident and a guest. But returned to Xiaopei and gathered more than 10,000 people. When Lu Bu was afraid, he led the troops to attack. Liu Bei fled after the defeat and took refuge in Cao Cao.
He went to Cao Cao, nominally to the imperial court, and Cao Cao treated him well. But Liu Bei is not at ease with this carefree life, and he still has to take over. Cao Cao gave him rations, supplemented his troops, and asked him to levy Lu Bu on the East. Although he failed again, Liu Bei followed Cao Cao back to Xu Xian, but he still didn't give up. After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he wanted to go north to Yuan Shao via Xuzhou. Liu Bei took this opportunity to demand that Yuan Shu be stopped, and Cao Cao sent him and Zhu Ling to stop him. When Liu Bei arrived in Xuzhou and Zhu Ling surrendered to Cao Cao, Liu Bei killed Che Zhou, the secretariat of Xuzhou, and regained his independence. At the same time, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao formed an alliance.
Five years after Jian 'an, Yuan Shao prepared to attack Xudu. Cao Cao led his troops to attack Liu Bei for the safety of his flank. Liu Bei failed again and had to go to Yuan Shao. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were at loggerheads in Guandu. Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei and Cao Cao's rebels to attack Liu Pi, the Yellow Scarf Army in runan county. Cao Cao sent men to attack Liu Bei. Liu Bei wanted to take this opportunity to leave Yuan Shao, so he returned Yuan Shao to his army and advised Yuan Shao to beware of Liu. After Yuan Shao agreed, Liu Bei came to Runan. This enabled Liu Bei not only to avoid disasters, but also to gain opportunities for self-development. When Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu and turned to attack Liu Bei, Liu Bei had the opportunity and conditions to take refuge in Liu Biao.
When Liu Bei arrived in Jingzhou, he was gradually distrusted by Liu Biao, but he had soldiers in his hand and maintained a certain independence. So when Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, Liu Biao died at the right time. Liu Cong, the son of Liu Biao, surrendered to Cao Cao, but Liu Bei was caught off guard, but he was able to lead his team south. This gave Liu Bei the opportunity to contact Sun Quan and Cao Cao. Battle of Red Cliffs and Sun Quan defeated Cao Cao's water army. Dangshui
It can be said that it was Liu Bei's repeated failures and never giving up that finally gave him a chance to succeed. Some of his contemporaries were many times stronger than him, and it was precisely because he had no spirit that he was quickly eliminated by the rulers. Just like Han Fu in that era, there was Jizhou, the largest country in the world. Gongsun Zan to crusade, scared to death before the war. Yuan Shao sent someone to threaten him to hand over Jizhou City again. And this Yuan Shao, although Guandu failed, only lost some elite troops, but his territory and strength are still not lost to Cao Cao. However, instead of making a comeback, he died of anxiety and grief at home all day. What these people lack is Liu Bei's never-say-die spirit.
Liu Bei has always been a loner.
Liu Bei is attached to several people, but Liu Bei can maintain his relative independence. He can wait patiently when there is no chance. When there is an opportunity, he is good at seizing it. This kind of self-improvement always seeks self-reliance, which is also the condition for his ultimate founding. Liu Bei is attached to Gongsun Zan. When he and Qingzhou secretariat went to Xuzhou for rescue, they had soldiers in their hands. Although there are only 1000 people, they are all people with their own strength. With this foundation, Tao Qian can give him a pen name and Yuzhou Secretariat, and then give it to Xuzhou when he dies. Lyu3 bu4 sneak attack, Liu Bei had to hug him, but he quickly gathered 10 thousand people. It was this spirit of self-reliance that alerted Lu Bu, so he took advantage of the fledgling time. Dong Cheng and others were accused of secretly killing Cao Cao, and Liu Bei was also involved. Liu Bei took the opportunity to go out. He didn't seize the opportunity to escape, but stood up by himself according to the instructions of the state. So he killed Che Zhou.
The best explanation for Liu Bei's independence is his relationship with Sun Quan. It turned out that when Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, Liu Bei was quickly defeated, and the defeated Liu Bei was quickly marginalized. However, after Sun Quan won, Liu Bei saw his own value, so he went to Wudong to seek Sun Quan's approval despite the opposition of Zhuge Liang and others. Zhou Yu of Wudong wanted Sun Quan to detain Liu Bei, but Sun Quan took a fancy to Liu Bei's strength and needed him to fight Cao Cao. Cao Cao not only admitted his official position in Jingzhou, but also lent him the Jingzhou he had just seized. If Liu Bei didn't have the ambition to stand on his own feet and seize the opportunity to seize the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, would Sun Quan let him defend Jingzhou independently? Without Liu Bei in Jingzhou, how can we talk about taking Xichuan?
This kind of attachment tries to remain relatively independent, and will seek independence once there is an opportunity. Who else in the Three Kingdoms besides Liu Bei? Zhang Miao, for example, was persuaded to stand on his own feet and was welcomed by Lu Bu, although there was nothing wrong. How can this betrayal of one person and attachment to another be regarded as self-reliance? No wonder Cao Cao said that there are only two heroes in the world: Cao Cao and Liu Bei!
Liu Bei can use people, have faith and accumulate prestige.
A founding emperor will never fight alone. He must have a large number of excellent civil servants to assist him. Liu Bei also has his own uniqueness in knowing people and employing people. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Gan and Jian Yong, some of these people followed him when they started fighting, and some followed him when they started fighting. No matter failure or frustration, they never give up, which shows the charm of Liu Bei. What makes these people and Liu Bei "mutually assured destruction"? The example of Guan illustrates this point. Guan Yu had to submit to Cao Cao for a while, but when he heard the news of Liu Bei, he went to meet him because Liu Bei had given him "kindness". Cao Cao gave Guan Yu a title and rewarded him. What kind of kindness can be given to Beihou more than Cao Cao? Needless to say, this is the only trust that can live and die.
Needless to say, Liu Bei's understanding of people can only be illustrated by the examples of Zhuge Liang and Ma Su. When Zhuge Liang met Liu Bei, although he had some talents, he was still a scholar. But Liu Bei immediately gained his trust, and his concern even aroused the envy of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others. It is with this Zhuge Liang that Liu Bei not only entered Xichuan according to Longzhong's design, but also found a solid backer for his black sheep. And that Ma Su, it was his exaggeration that ruined Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition. This is Liu Bei's foresight in knowing people. In addition to knowing people and being good at their duties, Liu Bei is considerate and considerate.
Pang Tong was under Zhou Yu in his early years, and Liu Bei went to Wudong. Zhou Yu suggested not to detain Liu Bei. When Liu Bei asked him, he said to Pang Tong, "Everyone has his own opinion. Don't worry about Pang Tong. " . Mi Zhu's younger brother, Mi Fang, surrendered to Sun Quan, which led to Guan Yu's defeat and death. Mi Zhu tied himself up and confessed. Knowing that Liu Bei and Mi Zhu will not attend, I still treat him as before. It is normal for feudal society to implement collective punishment. Liu Bei can bear his brother's sins without regrets, and he is also a monarch. Huang Quan attacked Wu, and Liu Bei sent men to guard Cao Wei in the north of the river. After the defeat, Huang Quan couldn't come back and had to surrender to Wei. Law enforcement officers will arrest Huang Quan's wife and children and punish them. Liu Bei disagreed, saying that he had failed Huang Quan. Ancient generals were stationed outside, and their families stayed in Beijing in case of mutiny or independence. Liu Bei could see that Huang Quan did not surrender to Sun Quan. He has his own needs. This is not only an understanding of the tomb, but also a concern for other returnees from the Eastern Expedition.
Liu Bei is still a trustworthy person.
After leaving Chang 'an, Lu Bu spent most of his time running around. But Lu Bu is not very popular, and several people have publicly rejected him. Even if they accept him, they don't trust him. Liu Bei is a bit like Lu Bu, but the difference is that most governors trust Liu Bei. There is a difference between the two. Although Liu Bei had some ideas when he left others, he always left with his bare hands, so that he could get along well with Lu Bu. For example, when he left Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, he found a reason to get permission and left. Even if you borrow Jingzhou, Sun Quan is willing to borrow it, not forcing him to borrow it. Because he has the name of Yuzhou secretariat, although it is only a hollow name, it also makes him enter the ranks of governors. These actions also made him accumulate a certain reputation in the world, so he gave up his good reputation in Jingzhou and made many people willing to follow him.
Liu Bei never gives up, never gives up, always looks for opportunities to be self-reliant and never depends on others. Even when he had to rely on others for a while, he always maintained relative independence, knowing others and doing his duty, which may be the reason why he was able to build the country. Liu Bei won more praise from later generations. Not to mention that the empire he founded has the word "Korea", I am afraid it is more caused by personal charm. Charm is exactly what Liu Bei likes. If the emperor is put aside, is Liu Bei's indomitable spirit worthy of emulation and study by future generations, whether he is an official, starting a business or fighting for a certain cause?
