Sun Quan, Cao Cao and Liu Bei first came to the conclusion that Sun Quan is the emperor who is most likely to kill heroes, Cao Cao will kill heroes regardless of unification or disunity, and Liu Bei is the emperor who is least likely to kill heroes. 1. Why did Sun Quan, the founding emperor of Soochow, say that Sun Quan was the emperor most likely to kill heroes? Because Sun Quan was the most heartless, murderous and unscrupulous of the three emperors, he took over the Jiangdong inheritance after Sun Ce was assassinated at the age of 20. Facing the situation that there was a strong enemy outside and a rebellion inside, Sun Quan felt unsafe and began to put down the internal rebellion. With the help of Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, he stabilized the interior and began to actively expand outward. Sun Quan formed an alliance with Liu Bei before Battle of Red Cliffs, and fought Cao Cao. After Battle of Red Cliffs's victory, in order to fool Liu Bei into fighting Cao Cao, he did not hesitate to marry his own sister, who was only 20 years old, to Liu Bei, who was 48 years old, just because of political marriage. Of course, women were only tools that could be used at that time, even their relatives were no exception. Then you can sneak up on your allies for political interests, and you can fool Cao Wei, a former enemy, just because you want to use Cao Wei to stop yourself from fighting on two fronts. Sun Quan can sacrifice almost anything for political interests.
Sun Quan's sister Sun Quan was the last emperor of the Three Kingdoms. It was only because Sun Quan felt insecure that he dared to be emperor after solving all external threats. After rising of sun, he began to solve the internal threat, that is, to get rid of or bring down the four families in Jiangdong and create favorable conditions for future generations to succeed to the throne. Sun Quan opened up an extremely cruel side in the political struggle in Soochow, which is also one of the reasons for the continuous war in Soochow. Sun Quan personally triggered the struggle between Sun He, a prince, and Sun Ba, a king of Lu, so that the whole court was automatically divided into two factions to fight against each other, and then attacked from both sides, abolishing Sun He and giving Sun Ba the death penalty. Obviously it was my own fault, but my son died, even my son died, and there was no friendship. Some people say that tiger poison does not eat children, but eats the whole family of grandchildren. Except for the son, all the ministers of the DPRK with four family backgrounds were either exiled or forced to death by Sun Quan. For example, Lu Xun, the head of the Lujia family in Jiangdong who was forced to death by Sun Quan, Gu Tan, the head of the Jiangdong family who was exiled by Sun Quan, and Zhu Ju, the head of the Zhujiajian family in Jiangdong who was killed by Sun Quan did not unify the world. It would be cruel if Sun Quan unified the world.
Sun Quan forced Lu Xun to death. Second, Cao Cao, the founder of Cao Wei regime, is completely different from Sun Quan. Cao Cao said that he would kill heroes regardless of unification or disunity, because Cao Cao had been killing heroes all his life, from the earliest Bian Jean and Xu You to Kong Rong and Hua Tuo in the middle period, and then to Yang Xiu and Cui Yan in the later period. Although there is no unification of the world, Cao Cao still killed so many people. Although Cao Cao killed people for various reasons, the result was to kill him. Cao Cao killed people around him because Yanzhou scholars looked down on him and wanted to kill him. Cao Cao killed Xu You because Xu You was carried away by his own achievements, so he wanted to kill him. Cao Cao killed Kong Rong because Kong Rong always insulted Cao Cao, so he wanted to kill him. Cao Cao killed Hua tuo because Hua tuo wanted to kill Cao Cao by opening his head, which was murder at that time.
Although Cao Cao had various reasons, it can be seen that Cao Cao never cared whether the world was unified or not. As long as Cao Cao thinks that there are enough reasons, he will kill heroes, so whether the world is unified or not, he will kill heroes. Third, Liu Bei, the founding king of the Shu-Han regime, is the only one in the Three Kingdoms to stand on his own feet as emperor. Liu Bei was born from humble origins, but he was the most confident person. He never killed innocent people. Liu Bei only forced Liu Feng to death at Zhuge Liang's suggestion all his life. Besides, Liu Bei never killed anyone, even those who defected to the enemy. Liu Bei killed Liu Feng in order to eliminate the hidden trouble of inheritance disputes that may occur after his death. Liu Feng is a very difficult person to control. If Liu Bei doesn't kill him, Liu Feng can't be stopped after one hundred years. Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan wanted to kill Liu Feng because it was inconvenient to stop him.
Liu treats others in a completely different way. For example, Mi Zhu, Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang took refuge in Dongwu, and Jiangling City fell without fighting, which directly led to the fall of three counties in Jingzhou, and Guan Yu was killed after going south. For such a big loss, Liu Bei is not responsible for what Mi Fang's brother Mi Zhu said. Although Mi Zhu offered a humble apology to Liu Bei, Liu Bei comforted Mi Zhu instead, and his attitude towards him remained unchanged. Huang Quan is Liu Bei's general. In the battle of Yiling, Huang Quan led 10,000 soldiers to guard against the possible attack of Cao Wei in the north of the Yangtze River. After Liu Bei was defeated in the battle of Yiling, Huang Quan was cut off by Wu Dongjun and could not return to Yizhou, so Huang Quan surrendered to Cao Wei. According to the usual practice, officials of Shu and Han should arrest Huang Quan's family and convict him, but Liu Bei refused directly. Liu Bei said: He was sorry for Huang Quan, and Huang Quan didn't forgive him, leaving the Huang Quan family behind.
Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor because he was tolerant of his own people. Similarly, Liu Bei has great feelings for his comrades who have fought side by side for many years. After Liu Bei won Yizhou Chengdu, he distributed all his possessions to the heroes, especially Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Fa Zheng and others. Everyone was treated well, giving 500 Jin of gold, 1000 Jin of silver, 50 million RMB and 1000 brocade. Similarly, when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were killed one after another, Liu Bei ignored everyone's opposition and launched the battle of Yiling. Although the political purpose is to recapture Jingzhou, no one denies Liu Bei's selfishness of retaliating against Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. This is Liu Bei's feelings. He is an emotional person, although Liu Bei is a successful political figure. If Liu Bei unifies the world, he will not kill heroes, which is determined by Liu Bei's nature. Not all emperors maintain their rule by killing heroes. One definite reason is that the emperor thinks that heroes will threaten imperial power and rule, but not every emperor will. Liu Bei is the emperor who won't kill heroes.
