Obviously, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could kill Lu Bu by joining forces, so why did Liu Bei join in and let Lu Bu escape?

The Battle of the Three Kingdoms Lv Bu is a very famous bridge in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Liu Bei joined forces to fight Lv Bu. The three defeated Lv Bu and almost killed the world's number one Lv Bu, but let Lv Bu seize it. Taking advantage of the weakness of Liu Bei, the weakest of the three, Lu Bu used Liu Bei as a breakthrough point and escaped from the encirclement of the three. Sanying failed to kill Lu Bu, which became a regret in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

In fact, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu can kill Lu Bu by joining forces. Liu Bei is not required to join him. Why did Liu Bei want to join, which caused Lu Bu to escape?

Judging from the records of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei has singled out with Lu Bu twice, once when Zhang Fei took the lead in the three British battles with Lu Bu. Zhang Fei first singled out with Lu Bu for fifty rounds, regardless of the outcome. Once when Liu Bei was stationed in Xiaopei, Zhang Fei stole Lu Bu's horse, and Lu Bu came to the door to fight Zhang Fei for a hundred rounds.

So in one hundred rounds, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu are tied. It can also be said that within one hundred rounds, the two are equally powerful, no one can kill anyone, and no one can win. , So when Zhang Fei drew with Lu Bu in 50 rounds, Guan Yu joined and joined Zhang Fei to attack Lu Bu. Guan Yu joined because the situation was stalemate and Zhang Fei could not win.

From Guan Yu's point of view, he must be very familiar with Zhang Fei's martial arts. It is natural for him to admire Lu Bu, who was still a tie after Zhang Fei for so long. Moreover, Lu Bu was already famous all over the world. Flying is still a fledgling! Guan Yu joined in because he wanted to help Zhang Fei behead Lu Bu. You must know that Guan Yu had just beheaded Hua Xiong at that time, and his momentum was flourishing.

And there was no benevolence and morality at that time. Guan Yu was born from a humble background and desperate. Don’t talk about one-on-one to have a sense of justice. That doesn’t exist. As long as you can win in a war, you can do everything. Extremely, any move will be used, and Guan Yu is such a person, for example, Guan Yu often cuts people with a knife, and it is not always a strategy to win. It is the kingly way to win. If a few people win, as long as they can kill Lu Bu, let alone two to one, it is three to one, six to one, Guan Yu will not hesitate.

Guan Yu’s joining is not Zhang Fei at a disadvantage, because the Romance of the Three Kingdoms clearly records that Zhang Fei and Lu Bu are tied, regardless of the outcome. Guan Yu is impatient and wants to quickly kill Lu Bu, so he joins Zhang Fei to attack Lu Bu. With the incredible force of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the two are still enemies of 10,000 people, no one in the Three Kingdoms can withstand the joint attack of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, even the world's number one Lu Bu can't.

In fact, as long as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei join forces, it is only a matter of time before Lu Bu beheaded. Two-on-one and thirty rounds of undivided wins or losses. The undivided outcome here means that neither side can win. But in the long run, two fists are hard to beat four hands. If it weren't for the red rabbit under Lu Bu's crotch, Lu Bu could not survive the 30th round, he would be beheaded by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

and both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are first-rate masters. The two entangle Lü Bu. Lü Bu cannot get away. The two can attack Lü Bu side by side or besiege Lü Bu one after another, Lü Bu thought. It is not easy to escape. You can imagine that if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei attacked Lu Bu side by side, Lu Bu would not have dared to turn around and escape, because then Lu Bu would expose the empty door behind him to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. For a master , A flaw is enough to kill.

If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei attack Lü Bu one after another, Lü Bu has no way to escape. Because he has to face the front and back attacks at the same time, Lü Bu is very passive. Although the three of them played 30 rounds, they obviously did not make a difference. As a result, regardless of victory or defeat, it can also mean that there is no result. It does not mean that if the three continue to fight, there will be no result. Obviously, if the three continue to fight, Lu Bu will definitely lose and be beheaded, because Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are so strong that they are invincible in the world.

But at this time Liu Bei joined in. Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not defeating Lu Bu in 30 rounds. He was also impatient and came to help. This is a bad thing. You know that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Lu Bu are all long weapons, about 2 to 3 meters long. Guan Yu’s Qinglong Yanyue knife is 2.3 meters long, and Zhang Fei’s Zhangba snake spear is 2 meters long..42 meters, Lu Bu’s Fangtian halberd is 2.9 meters long, and the three combatants are at least 3 meters away.

And Liu Bei's weapon is a double-stranded sword, only 1 meter in length. It is a short weapon. Three men with long weapons are fighting. How can you Liu Bei with such a short weapon join the battle? Holding a 1-meter-long double-stranded sword, Liu Bei couldn't get close to Lu Bu at all. Lu Bu's 2.9-meter-long Fangtian halberd could easily keep Liu Bei out of the circle.

The battle that Liu Bei joined has turned into a strange phenomenon. In the Three-British Battle with Lu Bu, three people held long weapons, and only Liu Bei held a short weapon. It looks like Lu Bu in the Three-Britain Battle. Actually Liu Bei It didn't work at all. On the contrary, because the weapon was short, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had to protect Liu Bei many times, so the short weapon could not hurt Lu Bu .

So when Lu Bu felt that he did not have the upper hand, he took Liu Bei as a breakthrough. Lu Bu watched Liu Bei's facade stabbed through, Liu Bei instinctively avoided reaction. As soon as Liu Bei escaped, the vacancy came out. Lü Bu took the opportunity to escape from Liu Bei's vacancy. The Three British War Lü Bu ended with Lü Bu's fiasco. If Liu Bei does not join, Lü Bu will definitely be beheaded by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Why does Liu Bei want to join, can't he not join?

Because Liu Bei is the lead brother of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the three of them are brothers. Now Liu Bei is watching his two brothers desperately. Can he stay out of the matter? Moreover, the three of them have vowed not to be born on the same day and the same month, but to die on the same day and the same month, and Liu Bei is also a loyal person. Of course, they can't stay out of the matter, but work hard with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. These are brothers.

But Liu Bei is a little anxious. If he continues to watch the battle, Lu Bu may be beheaded. There is another reason why Liu Bei joined: Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were actually fledglings. They wanted to build a career by killing Lu Bu and build a foundation. You must know that at that time, no one of the eighteenth princes could think of Liu, Guan and Zhang. Guan Yu played in China. When he was in Xiong, Yuan Shu looked down on Guan Yu’s low status and wanted to drive Guan Yu out. In the end, it was Cao Cao interceding to let Guan Yu go. Therefore, the status of Liu, Guan and Zhang was very low at the time, and there was an urgent need to improve their status, especially Lu Bu. The world's most powerful general is a good opportunity to become famous.
