The marriage between Liu Bei and Mrs. Sun during the Three Kingdoms period is the most typical political marriage in history.
Mrs Sun's father, Sun Jian, and her brothers, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, are all great heroes. They are iron horses, elegant and generous. But a hero's life is short. Sun Ce was only 26 when he died. At that time, Sun Quan was about 20 years old. He inherited the wishes of his father and brother, attacked the east and killed the west, and worked hard to create a new world. The world of bamboo slips is really hard-won, and every inch of land is bought with blood.
When Cao Cao wanted to wipe out Jiangnan, Sun Quan cooperated with Liu Bei out of helplessness. Liu Bei had no place to stand, so he borrowed Jingzhou from Soochow and agreed to return it later. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Sun Quan wanted to go back to Jingzhou, but Liu Bei repeatedly shirked it for various reasons. Jingzhou is in today's Hubei area. At that time, it was not only rich in products and abundant in grain and grass, but also located between Xichuan and Soochow, which has always been a battleground for military strategists. What's more, Sun Jian was killed in the war to seize Jingzhou, and Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou without returning it, which Sun Quan could not accept at all. But at the mention of Jingzhou's return, Liu Bei burst into tears. Sun Quan really has no choice. Zhou Yu, the right-hand general of Soochow, designed it for Sun Quan. When Liu Bei lost his wife, he used his sister Sun Shangxiang as bait and gave her to Liu Bei as the place of succession. On the pretext of loving her little daughter very much, Mrs. Wu Guotai didn't want to get married, so she asked Liu Bei to go to Soochow for a wedding. Wu Dong married Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was detained when he crossed the river, so as to force Zhuge Liang to exchange Jingzhou for Liu Bei.
This is the famous honey trap in history. piece
Liu Bei's original wives were Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mi, but they all died in the war. Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's strategist, has always warned Liu Bei that the main enemy of Shu is Cao Cao, and the basic policy of Shu's foreign policy should be to unite with Wu to resist Cao. So when Sun Quan sent Lu Su, an envoy to Shu, to make friends with Qin Jin and confront Cao with * * *, it naturally hit it off.
Sun Quanshi's honey trap cannot escape Zhuge Liang's eyes. He wants to cooperate, but Liu Bei has some doubts. However, he could not defeat Zhuge Liang's advice and persuasion, and let General Zhao Zilong take care of him. Finally, in the late twelfth lunar month of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, Liu Bei led a group of people to Jingkou and married Wu.

There is a saying that after Liu Bei arrived at Jingkou, he went to visit Lu Su first, and then bribed Joe Lao Guo to please him more. In Wu Guotai, Kanluoji, he is a mother-in-law who looks after her son-in-law. The more she looks at him, the more she likes him. She really recruited him as her son-in-law. Finally, the blind date with traps and traps was successfully completed in the sword shadow. On an auspicious day, a running water mat passed by and a political marriage was completed.
On the wedding day, more than 100 maids and maids were surrounded by a bejeweled enchanting beauty surrounded by Yu Pei, and Liu Bei worshipped the world. Liu Bei was taken aback when he entered the bridal chamber. The bridal chamber is murderous, and the ladies-in-waiting stand by with swords, as if to send troops to fight. Liu Bei couldn't help but be frightened, and his legs and feet were a little out of control. Liu Bei asked trembling, what is this? The maid-in-waiting said: Our monarch likes martial arts since childhood and always carries weapons with him. Liu Bei said: Tonight is a good day for a wedding. These are better taken away for the time being. Mrs. Sun pouted and said, You've been fighting and killing for most of your life. Are you still afraid of weapons? Liu Bei pretended to be calm and said, why are you still afraid of weapons after half a life? Trembling in my heart, I walked into the back room with my head high.
At that time, although Liu Bei was over half a century old, he was burly and handsome, with the posture of dragons and phoenixes and the posture of the sun. And this lady is only in her twenties, in her prime, full of energy and good looks. Even if this marriage is mixed with strong political factors, all political factors are temporarily thrown out of the world under the impact of relationships-especially those founded by men and women.
There is a poem that says:
Knife as bright as autumn snow, I believe someone is intercropping with my husband.
Candle shadow shaking red lang half drunk, dreaming of Jingzhou in bed.
This political marriage was thus formed.
