When it comes to the Three Kingdoms, we cannot do without Cao Cao , Liu Bei and Sun Quan these three figures who established the tripartite pattern. However, transportation was inconvenient at that time, and the three major camps were sometimes friends and sometimes enemies, making it difficult to move people. There were only a few people who could meet all three lords. Let’s take a look at who they were. , may have seen Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

The first person who can confirm that he has seen the Big Three of Cao, Liu, and Sun is Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao was originally a general of Lu Bu, but later he was assigned to Cao Cao. After Lu Bu was defeated in Yanzhou, he went to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei. The main figures of the two camps must have met. After Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu, he once again relied on Cao Cao and jointly attacked Lu Bu. Later, he and Cao Cao went to Xuchang and spent a lot of time. During this period, Cao Cao was very polite to Liu Bei. When he went out, he shared the same views, and when he sat down, he shared the same table. His subordinates and generals should also meet with Liu Bei. So Zhang Liao must have met Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

When Sun Quan attacked Hefei for the second time, Zhang Liao personally led 800 dead soldiers to attack the Wu army camp, killing dozens of people and rushed to Sun Quan's side. Sun Quan was shocked and retreated to a high place to defend himself with a halberd. Zhang Liao challenged him at the foot of the mountain, but Sun Quan did not dare to move. Seeing that there were not many Zhang Liao, he ordered the Wu army to attack him.

(Zhang Liao) killed dozens of people, beheaded two generals, shouted his name, rushed into the base, and came under Quan's command. Quan was shocked, and everyone didn't know what he was doing. They climbed to the high tomb and defended themselves with long halberds. Liao ordered Quan to fight, but Quan did not dare to move. Seeing that Liao's generals were few in number, he gathered several heavy forces around Liao.

Since Zhang Liao shouted directly to Sun Quan, the two sides must not be far apart and they met each other face to face. Therefore, despite the unfriendly way of meeting, Zhang Liao must have met Sun Quan and became the lucky person to have met Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

The second person who can confirm that he has met Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan is Mi Fang.

Mi Fang was originally Liu Bei's subordinate and his brother-in-law. Later Lu Meng took advantage of Guan Yu Northern Expedition Xiangfan to sneak attack Jingzhou . Mi Fang surrendered without a fight and became Sun Quan's subordinate again. Naturally, he had seen it before. Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

The only question is whether he Mi Fang has met Cao Cao. Although this point is not explicitly mentioned in the history books, it has been said before that Liu Bei once relied on Cao Cao, and the two sides even cooperated to defeat Lu Bu. Mi Fang, as one of the main figures in Liu Bei's camp, was also named Pengcheng Prime Minister by Cao Cao. Of course, he has seen Cao Cao.

So Mi Fang is also one of the lucky ones who must have met the three masters , Cao Liu, and Sun.

The third place is Zhang Hong under Sun Quan, who may have met Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

Zhang Hong was a native of Guangling, Xuzhou and a famous writer in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Together with Zhang Zhao, they were collectively known as "Two Zhangs". Sun Ce After pacifying Jiangdong, Zhang Hong went to seek refuge. Later, he was ordered by Sun Ce to send a memorial to Xuchang, and was left to serve in Xuchang by Cao Cao. When Sun Ce died, Cao Cao once wanted to invade Jiangdong, but it was Zhang Hong who persuaded him to give up the idea, and appointed Zhang Hong as the Kuaiji eastern captain , and returned to Jiangdong to win over Sun Quan.

Therefore, Zhang Hong must have met Cao Cao and Sun Quan, but has he met Liu Bei? After Liu Bei was defeated at Dangyang, he formed an alliance with Sun Quan through Zhuge Liang to fight against Cao Cao. Since then, Liu Bei has traveled to Jiangdong many times. Zhang Hong has a high reputation and is a veteran figure in Jiangdong, so he should have a good chance of meeting Liu Bei. So he may have met the lucky ones with Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei.

The fourth person who may have seen Cao Cao and the other three is Yu Ban .

Yu Jin is one of Cao Cao's trusted generals. As mentioned above, he must have met Cao Cao, and he may have met Liu Bei in The Battle of Xuzhou or in Xuchang. During Guan Yu's northern expedition to Xiangfan, Yu Jin led troops to rescue him, but was defeated and captured. He was later imprisoned in Jiangling with other captured Wei troops. After Lü Meng crossed the river in white clothes and attacked Jiangling, Yu Jin naturally fell into the hands of the Wu army.

After Cao Pi became emperor, Sun Quan concentrated on dealing with Liu Bei in order to stabilize Cao Pi, so he surrendered to him and returned Yu Jin. At this time, theoretically Sun Quan and Yu Jin were both Cao Pi's ministers. In order to show his respect for Cao Pi, Sun Quan should also have met Yu Jin. Therefore, Yu Jin may have met Cao Cao and the other three.

The fifth one may be a bit controversial, that is Guan Yu.

Guan Yu is Liu Bei's general. He had frequent dealings with Cao Cao when he was under Liu Bei. Later, he once served under Cao Cao. He had no problem meeting Liu Bei and Cao Cao, but has Guan Yu ever met Sun Quan? , this is controversial.

"Book of Shu" mentioned that Sun Quan raided Jingzhou and captured Guan Yu and his son Guan Ping . After that, he once wanted to subdue him for his own use. Later, people persuaded him that Guan Yu could not be subdued, so he gave up the matter. From here, it seems that Sun Quan and Guan Yu have met. However, according to the records in "Wu Shu", Pan Zhang killed Guan Yu after he captured him and did not send him back to Jiangling to meet Sun Quan. Therefore, most later generations think that the statement in "Book of Shu" is unreliable.

Moreover, as the chief general under Liu Bei, Guan Yu should have been among the left-behind troops during Sun Liu's honeymoon period and would not have followed Liu Bei to Jiangdong. Therefore, it is controversial whether Guan Yu ever met Cao Liu and Sun.

Of course, although transportation was inconvenient at that time, wars continued, and the three camps of Wei, Shu and Wu were opposed to each other, there would definitely be envoys communicating with each other. In particular, Liu Bei had close contacts with Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Those who have been following him, except Mi Fang and Guan Yu mentioned above, are Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian , Chen to and others may have met Cao Cao and Sun Quan with Liu Bei, but there is no mention in the history books.

Therefore, I personally think that the only people who can be confirmed to have seen Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are Zhang Liao and Mi Fang. The ones who may have seen them are Zhang Hong, Yu Jin, and Guan Yu. There is some controversy. I don’t know if you have anything to add.

After Cao Pi became emperor, Sun Quan concentrated on dealing with Liu Bei in order to stabilize Cao Pi, so he surrendered to him and returned Yu Jin. At this time, theoretically Sun Quan and Yu Jin were both Cao Pi's ministers. In order to show his respect for Cao Pi, Sun Quan should also have met Yu Jin. Therefore, Yu Jin may have met Cao Cao and the other three.

The fifth one may be a bit controversial, that is Guan Yu.

Guan Yu is Liu Bei's general. He had frequent dealings with Cao Cao when he was under Liu Bei. Later, he once served under Cao Cao. He had no problem meeting Liu Bei and Cao Cao, but has Guan Yu ever met Sun Quan? , this is controversial.

Of course, although transportation was inconvenient at that time, wars continued, and the three camps of Wei, Shu and Wu were opposed to each other, there would definitely be envoys communicating with each other.

Those who have been following him, except Mi Fang and Guan Yu mentioned above, are Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian , Chen to and others may have met Cao Cao and Sun Quan with Liu Bei, but there is no mention in the history books.
