At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the Emperor Xian of Han , the regime of Eastern Han had already died in name only, and was completely in a state of separatist rule and occupying land as kings. Although local officials in various places have official positions, wars may affect these places at all times. If they resist, they may face the danger of massacre of the city. Therefore, many local officials are in danger. If they save themselves, they must learn to grasp the situation.
There were many more famous heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In addition to some generals who were good at fighting, there were also many people who were kind and righteous, and had talented, especially those who appeared in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", such as Liu Bei , Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang , which also wrote a brilliant chapter during the Three Kingdoms period.
There are heroes in troubled times. In any turbulent era, heroes with great enthusiasm or a true man can always appear. These people are willing to follow famous scholars as lords, assist him, and create a career in the turbulent times.
Unfortunately, these celebrities may not be able to succeed. According to the words of Zhuge Kongming , several conditions must be met to succeed, that is, the right time, place and people.
occupy one of them will inevitably have a foothold. From the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was the one who occupied the time, and Eastern Wu Sun Ce was the advantage of taking advantage of the natural dangers. It was difficult for a person to own him and to own him. Liu Bei happened to have such characteristics.
Liu Bei has a close relationship with the people of the Eastern Han regime. He himself is the one who is the one who is in the late Western Han Dynasty Zhongshan Jing Liu Sheng. Although his family was in decline when he was young, he had always had ambitions and hoped to support the Han Dynasty and shine his ancestors. Therefore, in the later stage, he participated in activities such as the Yellow Turban Uprising and the siege of Dong Zhuo. Due to his limited ability, it was difficult to gain a foothold in the melee.
Because Liu Bei is benevolent and righteous and conquered people with virtue, he has always been called Liu Huangshu by famous scholars everywhere and has been respected by literati and poets. Many talented people come to assist him.
Even when he led Guan Yu , Zhang Fei and others to attack the city, there were many people opening the city to welcome Liu Bei and others. There were more and more people breaking the city without attacking, so that more people could follow suit.
Among them, Tao Qian let Xuzhou , and Liu Bei refused many times, which is a very representative plot. So in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the heroes emerged, why did this Xuzhou prefect give Xuzhou to Liu Bei several times?
protect yourself
During the melee of the Three Kingdoms, everyone wanted to occupy a favorable position under such a situation. Anyone with troops wanted to occupy one side and seek development. In the early stage of this situation, many counties and counties became the main ones, among which Tao Qian was one of them. Many people may not know, but only knew the story of him and Liu Bei.
Tao Qian was a person from Danyang County . He was one of the famous scholars in the late Han Dynasty. He not only had good political and literary talents, but also had good military performance.
This person is upright and ambitious. During his administration of Xuzhou, people lived and worked in peace and well. Unfortunately, he was not good at understanding people. Once he sent a move to escort Cao Cao's father. Unexpectedly, this person was determined to kill Cao Cao's family when he saw money, which led to Tao Qian and Cao Cao's grudge.
Although this matter is not all Tao Qian’s fault, his subordinates are responsible for the disaster, so Cao Cao will definitely not give up. At this time, Cao Cao had a good power, and Xuzhou was a relatively important fortress. What’s more important is that the governor here was Tao Qian, so it was inevitable that Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou.
Tao Qian had already had a confrontation with Cao Cao before he wanted to attack Xuzhou, and they all avoided the fatal blow with their own ability. However, as Cao Cao's troops increased, he had to ask for help from Liu Bei, Tian Kai and others. Even though Liu Bei had only one thousand people and several thousand hungry people, his brave soldiers were still helpful to Tao Qian.
In other words, Liu Bei's strength is limited, but he has powerful generals around him, which can solve the problem of Cao Cao, so it can protect the safety of Tao Qian himself and Xuzhou.
Liu Bei's deming is outside
The three kingdoms were in a state of harmony at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In fact, it was because the three of them had their own power. There was no need to mention Cao Cao and Sun Ce. Liu Bei was the one who interpreted the advantages of human harmony to the end.
Since the reign of Emperor Xian of Han, all the famous scholars at that time knew that in fact, the Han clan relative was called Liu Huangshu. When Cao Cao took the emperor to command the princes, he became the first trusted emperor at that time, and was afraid of Cao Cao because of this.
Through many examples, people passed on word of mouth, so that everyone at that time knew the emperor's uncle Liu Xuande . His kindness and righteousness were different from other treacherous villains and cruel heroes. It was this reason why Xuzhou was in danger that Tao Qian chose to ask Liu Bei for help, but gave up the more powerful Lu Bu and others at that time.
It can be imagined that according to the chaotic situation at that time, seizing territory became an important thing at that time. If a soldier is strong and unpredictable, people are invited to Xuzhou, then the result will be that they will be killed and Xuzhou will be taken away.
After many considerations, Tao Qian made the idea of inviting Liu Bei to Xuzhou, which was obviously the best way at that time. After all, there were fewer soldiers from Liu Bei who were famous than him, and he was named for his virtuousness.
So they won't be unfavorable to themselves and their families, and they will also be very good to the people of Xuzhou. Therefore, it is indeed a good choice to let Liu Bei enter Xuzhou.
Choice to weigh the pros and cons
Xuzhou has experienced some major battles, that is, the Battle of Pengcheng. At this time, Cao Cao's general Cao Ren is brave and good at fighting, but there is no team in Tao Qian's camp that can compete with him. The result is that his army has no chance of winning on every battlefield, and in the end he is forced to retreat to Xuzhou and cannot defend. The reason for this situation in
is that Tao Qian has no brave soldiers. This is one of his main shortcomings, and Liu Bei is surrounded by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
At this time, these two people had no name, but their actual combat power was very strong, and they were reflected in the battle with Cao Ren later. Therefore, Tao Qian asked Liu Bei to enter Xuzhou to obtain a general who could resist Cao Cao, so that the problem could be solved when the troops were at the city.
In addition, Liu Bei himself is in the same camp as himself. Both of them have participated in the Yellow Turban Uprising and have participated in the attack on Dong Zhuo. Therefore, paying the fee for Xuzhou is considered to be for his own people. does not cause too much loss. If someone else had probably sent Xuzhou to another camp.
Tao Qian himself has great ambitions and hopes to gain a place in troubled times. Unfortunately, he is already old and may not have passed away until then. Moreover, his descendants are all people without backbone, and his son is also lacking talent and cowardly. As long as he dies in the future, Xuzhou will become Cao Cao's territory.
Based on his understanding of his sons and confidants, surrender will inevitably happen. If so, it would be better for him to give Xuzhou to the benevolent and righteous Uncle Liu, and instead make Liu Bei grateful, so he will naturally protect his family.
Liu Bei is a person who cherishes his reputation. It’s not that he doesn’t want Xuzhou, but that he just takes advantage of others’ danger at this time. He feels that he is not a gentleman, so there is a scene where Tao Qiansan makes Xuzhou three times.
Of course, under Tao Qian's insistence, Liu Bei still agreed to temporarily take charge of Xuzhou. This decision also made Tao Qian's son and powerful ministers angry, so they tried their best to harm Liu Bei, and later colluded with Cao Cao to take Xuzhou, which led to the fact that Cao Cao almost destroyed Liu Bei later.
It can be said that Liu Bei not only did not get Xuzhou, but also brought greater trouble to himself. Without strong strength, how could he have the ability to occupy important land?
Historical books once gave Tao Qian a certain evaluation, saying that he was a person who was upright to things, but his ability to recognize people was very poor, and he always did things to be close to villains and distant wise ministers, so that he was surrounded by merchants and treacherous people. These people put interests first and could not be for Xuzhou.
fought for his family, so later an internal rebellion in Xuzhou occurred. It was reasonable for Cao Cao to obtain Xuzhou without any effort. Unfortunately, Tao Qian's plan to die was not achieved, and Liu Bei was unable to help him defend Xuzhou.
