We can see that Liu Bei is far-sighted, has far-reaching political vision and thinks deeply about problems in the matter of trusting the lonely Baidi City. "If my son can help you, he can help you. If he can't help you, be king yourself. " Liu Bei made this clear, and Zhuge Liang could only cry and say, "I dare to do my best until I die!" " "Make it clear that unless he dies faithfully, he will not take his place. In this way, if Liu Chan is fatuous, Zhuge Liang will really take his place in the future. If there is this sentence, then he will first carry a poor assistant, bear the blame of staple food, and face the charges of disloyalty and injustice in political opinion and public support, which will lead to the unknown teacher being at a disadvantage.
Besides, any king in history is willing to give up the throne to a different surname, even if his son is mentally retarded, he will not give up. Therefore, Liu Bei is not so much trust and entrustment as a premeditated preemptive threat strategy and a tactic of playing hard to get in desperation. In fact, Liu Bei called it lean, and there are many things to prove it. He fought and fought on the road of heroes all his life.
In the process of refusing to accept Xuzhou, Liu Bei also experienced ups and downs. In the end, it won not only the reputation and Xuzhou, but also the hearts of Xuzhou people. At that time, Xuzhou should be said to be a political fringe. Xuzhou left by Tao Qian has just experienced the looting by Cao Cao, and many people have been forced to be displaced. Most local celebrities who live in seclusion in Xuzhou come to seek the Lord, so it is difficult to escape the disaster in Xuzhou and take over to appease the people. At that time, thieves like Lu Bu and Yuan Shu all wanted to attack Xuzhou, but Yuan Shao and other forces were indifferent.
More importantly, under the rule of Liu Bei, there was no rebellion or rebellion of local residents in Xuzhou. In fact, this is a shoo-in for a long time. Later, he was persuaded by others to accept Xuzhou and naturally won a reputation. He has ideas, ideas and skills, and we have to admire him.
There are also heroes who are reduced to Pingyang, bullied by dogs, and are at the bottom of their lives. At this time, the word owl is also the perfect embodiment of Liu Bei, and it is really resilient. Liu Bei was ambushed by Lu Bu when Yuan Shu refused to fight, and took his wife away. In desperation, Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao, who appreciated Liu Bei very much and had a good impression on him. He said that only princes and princes are allowed to be heroes in the world, and he also talked about heroes by cooking wine. It means that the heroes in the world are Liu Bei and Cao Cao, but Liu Bei has other plans, and he still has hope of hegemony in his heart. How can he serve Cao Cao wholeheartedly?
Although he became Cao Cao's left general, he soon climbed the family tree with Emperor Han Xian, and Xian Di's generation was called Liu Huangshu from now on. Then, Dong Guifei's father, Dong Cheng, sent an imperial edict to kill Cao Cao with Dong Cheng. Later, fearing that the plot would be exposed, he left Dong Guifei behind, made an excuse to attack Yuan Shao and fled alone, so that Dong Guifei and his son were killed by Cao Cao. However, he plunged into Yuan Shao's door. From then on, he pretended to be a relative of the Korean family and openly opposed Cao Cao under the banner of "destroying the country thief and being diligent". It can be seen that Liu Bei never extinguished the hope of being king and dominating in his heart at any time. This persistent belief has been sticking to him. He is a hero who is difficult to subdue and a political wild horse who is difficult to obey.
In fact, judging from the achievements of Liu Bei's life, before his success, he went to Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao. Finally, based on Jiangling, Sun Quan defeated Cao Cao in Chibi and quickly occupied Jingzhou. Later, Yizhou was obtained through fraud, and Hanzhong was seized by force, which formed a tripartite confrontation with Cao Cao and Sun Quan. In fact, Liu Bei asked everyone to play a big show there, watching the characters fall in the ring, applauding and applauding, secretly accumulating strength and trying to think for themselves. I think his mentality is very important. If not, he is just a dead hero, not a brave hero. This is why heroes can sit on the hero's body and sit on the throne of the emperor, but on the surface it is very peaceful. It is cruel to be able to calculate others with a smile. You can do whatever it takes to achieve your goal. This is hypocrisy.
Liu Bei cares more about interests. When dealing with personal feelings and brotherhood, he always puts the overall situation first. This interest coexists with his goal. Behind the Three Oaths in Taoyuan, friends are like brothers and wives are like clothes, while Zhang Guan and many wives are just tools to win over heroes. Zhuge Liang was invited because he had not won several battles before. In fact, the real reason is Xu Shu's recommendation and Zhuge Liang's visit, which let Liu Bei know that there are geniuses in the world. He visited the cottage many times.
If Zhuge Liang joins Cao Cao, I believe the history of the Three Kingdoms will be rewritten. I don't know what it will be like. It can be said that Liu Bei always puts his own interests first, and from time to time he has the consciousness of creating some friction between Zhuge Liang and Guan, Zhang and Zhao. He firmly controlled the soldiers in his own hands through "coordination". And Ma Su's point of view, you will see more fishy, Liu Bei can be certain, Zhuge Liang can't, which is also Liu Bei's strength. He moved and manipulated his hero, with runny nose and tears, cleverly planned and hobbled to build his own country.
It is reasonable for later generations to call Liu Bei a lean man. Liu Bei's definition of lean man is: ambitious and persistent, hypocritical and tenacious, interests first and unscrupulous. Losers are always wrong. It doesn't matter whether Liu Bei is a hypocrite. As Marx said, everything that people struggle for is related to their own interests.
