Liu Bei has repeatedly lost in battles, why Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others treat Liu Bei with courtesy

Let's first count how many defeats Liu Bei fought in his life. I guess Liu Bei himself can't remember.

Liu Bei pulled up a team in the year of the Yellow Turban Uprising in 184 AD, and began to fight the Yellow Turban Army. Because of his meritorious service, he was appointed by the court as Anxi County Lieutenant, which is equivalent to the current county public security chief. Soon the court began to streamline officials and Liu Bei was removed from office, so he took refuge in his classmate Gongsun Zan.

Liu Bei really began to lose the battle after he took over Xuzhou. Tao Qian entrusted Xuzhou to Liu Bei before his death. At the same time, most of the powerful gentry in Xuzhou also supported Liu Bei, but Liu Bei took over Xuzhou just one year after he took over. It was lost because when Liu Bei was fighting Yuan Shu on the front line, Lu Bu attacked Liu Bei’s rear and Zhang Fei was defeated and fled. At the same time, Liu Bei was defeated by Yuan Shu on the front line, so lost Xuzhou Liu Bei and lost twice .

After that, Liu Bei cheekily took refuge in Lv Bu, and was arranged by Lv Bu to garrison Xiao Pei. After Liu Bei had Xiao Pei, he began to recruit and buy horses. This caused Lv Bu’s suspicion, so Lu Bu led his army to attack Xiao Pei, and Liu Bei once again Lost, this time Liu Bei took refuge in Cao Cao, this is Liu Bei's third defeat, this time is called the first Xiaopei battle .

After Liu Bei surrendered to Cao Cao, Lu Bu sent Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to attack Liu Bei. Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun to support Liu Bei. In the end, Liu Bei was defeated and fled again. This is Liu Bei's fourth defeat. This time is called the second time. Battle of Xiaopei .

After Liu Bei and Cao Cao killed Lu Bu in Xiapi, Liu Bei followed Cao Cao to Xudu. Soon after Cao Cao said "the heroes of the world are the king and Caoer", Liu Bei participated in the garb and betrayed After Cao Cao, he commanded the army given by Cao Cao, and took over Xuzhou, which had just been captured by Cao Cao. Cao Cao later attacked Liu Bei himself. Liu Bei was defeated again. Both his wife and children were captured by Cao Cao. At the same time, Guan Yu was captured and surrendered to Cao Cao. This is Liu Bei was defeated for the fifth time, this time called the Battle of Xuzhou .

After Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao, he took refuge in Yuan Shao. Liu Bei participated in several battles under Yuan Shao, and they basically failed. The first was the battle of Yanjin, Wen Chou and Liu Bei rate. The army met Cao Cao in Yanjin. Cao Cao used his luggage to lure Yuan Jun and then launched a surprise attack. As a result, Wen Chou was killed and Liu Bei escaped. This is the sixth defeat of Liu Bei. This time it is called the Battle of Yanjin . After

, Liu Bei led an army south to Yuan Shao’s hometown of Runan, and joined forces with the local Yellow Turban leader Liu Pi to attack Cao Cao’s old nest Xudu, but was defeated by Cao Cao’s general Cao Ren, this time Known as the Battle of Runan, this is Liu Bei's seventh defeat .

Liu Bei's eighth defeat was the famous Battle of Nagasaka . At that time, Liu Bei had only a few thousand troops and hundreds of thousands of people fleeing south. Cao Cao led five thousand elite tiger and leopard riders. The cavalry caught up with Liu Bei in Changban, Dangyang. After a great battle, Liu Bei was defeated. If Zhang Fei hadn't broken the Dangyang Bridge, Liu Bei would not be able to escape. This time Liu Bei had suffered heavy losses and hundreds of thousands of people had been lost. Cao Cao was captured, and even his two daughters were captured by Cao Chun. Thousands of soldiers were all dispersed.

Liu Bei's ninth defeat is the last battle in his life --- Yiling's battle , this is the last battle fought by Liu Bei, who has experienced all kinds of battles in his life. Unfortunately, it still ended in a disastrous defeat. In this battle, Liu Bei lost 40,000 elite field troops and thousands of middle- and lower-level generals. After this defeat, Liu Bei fell ill and eventually died.

These are the nine defeats that Liu Bei has been recorded in the book. Those who have not been recorded should probably have more defeats. After so many failures in his life, Liu Bei can also be regarded as repeated defeats, but Liu Bei has repeatedly failed. Even the 47-year-old "elderly" did not forget his dedication to make merits and careers. Liu Bei, who had been defeated repeatedly in his life, finally ushered in a series of victories after the Battle of Chibi. The question now is why Liu Bei has repeatedly defeated. , But there are so many people who treat Liu Bei with courtesy all the time. How about becoming VIPs?

For example, Cao Cao, Cao Cao said Liu Bei is a "hero in the world", why is a defeated general considered by Cao Cao to be the only hero in the entire world? Cao Cao not only called Liu Bei, , but also continued to add officials to Liu Bei, first Yuzhou Mu, then Zhendong General, Fengyicheng Tinghou, and finally Zuo General . Why does Cao Cao value Liu Bei so much?

In addition to Cao Cao, there is also Yuan Shao. Liu Bei has turned to Yuan Shao after being defeated by Cao Cao in the Battle of Xuzhou. Yuan Shao heard that Liu Bei came to vote. The etiquette for Liu Bei is: go out of the city two hundred miles to meet Liu Bei! This regards Liu Bei as a prince, which can welcome the courtesy of the princes, but at that time Liu Bei was in a state of fleeing for his life. Why did Yuan Shao value Liu Bei so much?

and Liu Biao. Liu Bei realized that Yuan Shao might be defeated in Guandu, so he made arrangements in advance to join Liu Biao. Liu Biao gave Liu Bei the following treatment: Liu Biao went to the suburbs to meet Liu Bei in person and wait for the guests. Gift! This is another prince’s gift. At that time, Liu Bei was also a defeated general and led a defeated army to join Liu Biao. Why did Liu Bei value Liu Bei so much?

Actually, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao all value Liu Bei for the same reason. This has nothing to do with Liu Bei's background, but is related to the following reasons:

1. Liu Bei is a hero and is popular among the people.

Cao Cao personally said that the only heroes in the world are Cao Cao and Liu Bei. This sentence weighs a lot. The reason why Cao Cao made such an evaluation is based on his understanding of Liu Bei. Liu Bei was in 197 AD In 2000, he took refuge in Cao Cao, and he betrayed Cao Cao in 200 AD and was defeated. Liu Bei's behavior has made Cao Cao feel that Liu Bei is extraordinary.

It is not only Cao Cao who thinks so, but also Kong Rong and Tao Qian who hold the same view. When Liu Bei served as the prime minister of Pingyuan, the North Sea minister Kong Rong was besieged by the Yellow Turban Army and sent Taishi Ci to ask Liu Bei for help. Liu Bei was very surprised. It turns out that Kong Rong still knew me Liu Bei. This shows that Liu Bei had a certain reputation at the time. Kong Rong asked Liu Bei to rescue him because Kong Rong believed that Liu Bei was capable and willing to rescue him.

and Tao Qian. Liu Bei came to Xuzhou because he was invited by Tao Qian to resist Cao Cao. After Tao Qian passed away, Xuzhou was surrendered to Liu Bei and supported by the powerful gentry at the time, Liu Bei could successfully take over Xuzhou. If you think about it, you will understand, will Tao Qian give a huge state to an incompetent person? Of course not. At that time, Liu Bei was well-known in the world, and he was a recognized hero, so he would have such courtesy. At the same time, Liu Bei was very popular. When Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou, hundreds of thousands of people would rather leave their hometown. Follow Liu Bei too. This is proof that Liu Bei has won the hearts of the people. It is also the first reason why Liu Bei is treated with courtesy wherever he goes.

2, Liu Bei has two enemy enemies.

The only two 10,000-person enemies Guan Yu and Zhang Feiquan in the Three Kingdoms period were under Liu Bei's hand. Whoever Liu Bei took refuge in, and the two 10,000-person enemies Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will go with them. You must know that the title of 10,000-person enemy is definitely not called It’s nice, but it’s really talented, it’s not difficult to lead soldiers in battle, and they are quite strategic. Ten thousand enemies actually mean proficient in military strategy, and they are also superior in military force. It was in troubled times at the time. Who didn’t want to get this. Thousands of enemies, so Liu Bei was treated with courtesy wherever he went, and it was also about the role of Yu and Zhang Fei.

3, Liu Bei is known as the Xiaoqiang who can't die.

Liu Bei was a very small force in the troubled times of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, although Liu Bei's power was very small, it was never eliminated. Like the powerful Lu Bu, he dared to compete with Cao Cao for Yanzhou. Exterminated, for example, Zhang Xiu, surrendered to Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan was eliminated by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was eliminated by Cao Cao, but Liu Bei fought dozens of battles in the north, although his influence was very small, he was never eliminated. Xiaoqiang, who claims to be unkillable, although He was beaten many times and the whole army was wiped out, but Liu Bei stood up again and again, defeated again and again, stood up again and again, this kind of spiritual power and the spirit of never giving up was courtesy of Liu Bei wherever he went. The third reason.
