According to the records in the History of the Three Kingdoms, we can see that Liu Bei did not have his own territory at the beginning of the troubled times in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He runs around all day, relying on other people's faces, and he is not like a hero in many ways. In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei is described as a coward. All skills are the same except crying for a while and running for a while. So is the real Liu Bei a hero in history?
Yes What evidence is there? Four evidences.
First, Liu Bei has heroic aspirations. After Liu Bei defected to Liu Biao, he talked with Liu Biao about heroes in the world. A man named Xu Biao made a comment. He talked about a man named Chen Deng. His name is Long Yuan. Xu Biao said that Chen Yuanlong was rude. He said that I went to visit Chen Yuanlong in Xiapi, and Chen Yuanlong hasn't spoken to me for a long time. Finally, he simply ran to a big bed and let me sleep in a small bed. Liu Bei expressed his opinion and said, Mr Xu, do you know why? Because you are called Chinese studies, everyone regards you as Chinese studies. In such a turbulent era, we need a national scholar like you to share the worries of the country and pacify the world. But what are you doing all day? Mr. Long Yuan looks down on people who "beg for land and want houses" and buy land and houses all day. How can he talk to you? To tell you the truth, you are also very lucky to meet Mr. Long Yuan. If I meet a villain like Liu Bei, I wish I could sleep upstairs and let you sleep underground! What about the big bed and the small bed!
Have heroic aspirations. What does this example show? It shows that Liu Bei is a hero. Liu Bei is not the coward and loser who can only run and cry as we imagined. He is also a man of temperament.
Third, Liu Bei has a heroic soul. We know that the first half of Liu Bei's life is very bad, and the statement in the history books is eight words:
Five people changed hands and four people lost their wives.
Constantly relying on others, but also constantly frustrated and failed. To tell the truth, if it were someone else, especially a man who pretends to be a hero, he would not commit suicide, at least he would be discouraged and impatient. But let's look at the records in the history books. Have we seen Liu Bei frustrated and unwilling after repeated defeats and wars? What does this mean? Which means he has a hero's soul.
Finally, Liu Bei is a hero. There are two diametrically opposite comments on Liu Bei in history books. One evaluation is the Ministry of Lu Bu, because Liu Bei took refuge in Lu Bu for a short time. Lu Bu's Ministry told Lu Bu at that time that Liu Bei was repeatedly difficult to raise-this is a capricious villain, an uncontrollable baiwenhang, so don't raise him. This is called "repeatedly difficult to raise". Another evaluation is Yuan Shao, who said that Liu Xuande is "honest and honest" and Liu Bei is also very honest. Yuan Shao will still judge people, not so bad. Then this evaluation is opposite, but it is not contradictory. Why not? It's simple. See who's right. Liu Bei is a man with heroic spirit, heroism and heroic soul, so he will never shut himself up in the fence willingly, for a long time and forever, so his object of refuge is "difficult to support repeatedly"; But as a hero, he must recruit talents and unite a group of people to complete his career, so he relies on "Hongya and faithfulness". The most typical examples are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei all his life, and Guan Yu rode thousands of miles alone. Why? It is Liu Bei's loyalty. According to historical records, this relationship between Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei seems to be a brotherly relationship on the surface, but it is actually a relationship between the monarch and the minister, because on a formal occasion, Liu Bei sat in the middle, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood behind, and it was a relationship between the monarch and the minister. Going home is a brotherly relationship. Strange bedfellows is recorded in the book, that is, Liu Bei often sleeps in the same bed with his two brothers. This is the meaning of heroism, and this is brotherhood. Just one thing I don't understand, that is, where was Liu Bei's wife when she slept with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?
Liu Bei is a hero, Guan Yu saw it, Zhang Fei saw it, and Zhuge Liang saw it later. I'm afraid it doesn't make sense to say that Cao Cao didn't see it It should be said that Cao Cao also saw it, so the problem is that just because Cao Cao saw it doesn't mean he said it.
Cao Cao was able to move Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to his own territory-Xu County in the troubled times at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when everyone didn't react, so as to be emperor. It can be seen that Cao Cao is a visionary. But why did Cao Cao say in front of Liu Bei that only himself and Liu Bei are heroes in the world today? What did he think when he said this sentence? How did Mr. Yi Zhongtian analyze this matter?
Why did he say that? At present, I can only provide a few speculative views for your reference, not conclusions. A speculative opinion is that Cao Cao is still not stable enough, because he is, after all, a man with temperament, a poet's temperament. Maybe he drank too much one day and accidentally said something he shouldn't have said, which is possible. The second possibility can also be understood as fire reconnaissance and mountain shock. Then I'll tell you, see if you recognize it, see how you act, see how he acts. This can also explain. In other words, none of us should pretend to be grandchildren, and we all know in our hearts that no one is smarter than anyone and no one is dumber than anyone. It is up to you to be a hero in the world. Sure enough, Liu Bei's grandson couldn't hold on, so he found a chance to run away.
Then Liu Bei's escape is understandable, even if he leaves, he will escape. People have said so, why don't you go and wait for death? But why did Cao Cao let it go? I can't figure this out again, so I can only express a little speculative opinion. The first possibility is that Cao Cao is not an adulterer and is not so heartless. In his later years, Cao Cao became an out-and-out adulterer, killing people without blinking an eye, including Cui Yan with first-class personality and Yu Xun with first-class wisdom. The second possibility is that Cao Cao has to give up at this time. When Cheng Yu suggested that Cao Cao kill Liu Bei, Cao Cao's answer was this, saying:
"If you accept the hero of the world today, you will kill one person and lose the heart of the world."
Now is the time to buy people's hearts. Are Liu Bei and his grandson well dressed? You can't find anything wrong with him. Everyone thinks he is a hero. If you kill him, you will lose the heart of the whole world. That won't do. Then the third possibility, I personally think, is the most likely one, that is, although Cao Cao saw that Liu Bei had heroic aspirations, heroism, heroism and heroic significance, he was a hero, but there was no place for him, no territory, no army, no military group of his own, and a hero without his position could not be regarded as a hero, so there was no need to be too defensive, and he could be a hero later. Personally, I think this possibility may be greater. Anyway, for whatever reason, Cao Cao released Liu Bei.
No matter how Cao Cao calculates, people are worse than the sky. What Cao Cao never thought of was that even we can say for sure that not only Cao Cao did not think of it, but even Liu Bei himself did not think of it. After eight years of cooking as a child, a great politician came out of the mountains and became Liu Bei's aide. All of a sudden, Liu Bei turned over, because it was this person who helped Liu Bei get a place to use. Liu Bei not only has his own territory, but also his territory is getting bigger and bigger. Finally, he and Cao Cao and Sun Quan formed a tripartite confrontation. We all know this man's name. His name is Zhuge Liang. After Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, the balance of fate began to tilt towards Liu Bei. What is even more unexpected is that in the same year, Guo Jia, the most important counselor of Cao Cao, passed away. Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, Guo Jia died, and the strength of Cao and Liu began to change greatly. It goes without saying that Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, so is Guo Jia's death so important? What kind of person is Guo Jia? Please watch the next episode-Natural Genius.
