Lu Bu is on the line of life and death, why did Cao Cao ask Liu Bei s opinion?

Because Lu Bu was cornered, it was Liu Bei who took him in, but Lu Bu took advantage of Liu Bei's unpreparedness to seize Liu Bei's Xuzhou and bully Liu Bei, but Liu Bei has always been benevolent and righteous, and may miss the old feelings, so Cao Cao wants to determine Liu Bei's attitude towards Lu Bu.

Because he knew the relationship between Lu Bu and Liu Bei, he wanted to test Liu Bei, so he asked Liu Bei when he had a decision.

Cao Cao had already made up his mind to kill Lu Bu, but because the remnants of Lu Bu were still there, he could transfer his hatred to Liu Bei by asking Liu Bei's opinion. And it can also test Liu Bei's loyalty.

After betraying Cao Cao in the third year of Jian'an (198 AD), Lü Bu helped Yuan Shu defeat Liu Bei and Cao Cao's reinforcements. But heaven is good for reincarnation, Lu Bu, a brainless man, was unfortunately captured alive by Cao Cao, and after being caught, he still wanted to surrender alive. At this time, Cao Cao had already made up his mind about Lu Bu's disposition, as for why he asked Liu Bei's imperial advisor's opinion?

Let's take a look at the analysis below.

First: In ancient times, most of the generals who surrendered would be accepted, not to mention the existence of a dozen or so many like Lu Bu. But Cao Cao also knew that Lu Bu's loyalty was too low, and the three family slaves were really uneasy.

Even if you accept it, you don't feel at ease to use it, and you have to be on guard at all times, it's too worry-free. But because it is difficult to kill the generals, I don't want to persuade other generals to surrender in the future. So, Cao Cao consulted Liu Bei's opinion.

Because Cao Jin knew the grievances between Liu Bei and Lu Bu, Lu Bu seized Liu Bei's territory and made him wander for many years. Sure enough, Liu Bei was very happy to give the answer Cao Cao wanted.

Second: At that time, the relationship between Cao Cao and Liu Bei was not very tense, and even a little bit of a confidant of each other. Moreover, the political aspirations of the two people are relatively close, and there are many common topics, which is also the fundamental reason for the so-called "heroes in the world only make the king and the ear".

Therefore, Cao Cao also sincerely consulted Liu Bei at that time, and wanted Liu Bei to become his right-hand man.

Third: The general advisory opinion basically did not differ too much in status, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei were still allies at that time. And Liu Bei's official position at that time was General Zuo and Yuzhou Mu, which was the official position of the Han Dynasty.

Those under him are not as good as Liu Bei in terms of status. Therefore, at the meeting to discuss how to deal with Lu Bu, Cao Cao would take care of Liu Bei's opinions and give Liu Bei some face.

In the end, after all, Cao Cao is still a little wary of Liu Bei, the political ideals of the two are too close, and they are both opponents and opponents. consulted Liu Bei's opinion, and he was also beating the side drum for Liu Bei. The potential meaning is that I don't care about a tiger general like Lu Bu, if you don't know what to do, I don't mind letting you accompany Lu Bu.

Because Liu Bei is also dissatisfied with Lu Bu, and Liu Bei has a reputation for virtue, benevolence and righteousness, if Liu Bei and Cao Cao Min have the same opinion, then it is right to kill Lu Bu, and if someone is dissatisfied in the future, he can also push Liu Bei on.

Cao Cao is a very cunning and intelligent person, killing Lu Bu is inevitable, and asking Liu Bei when dealing with Lu Bu is actually a temptation for Liu Bei!

Asking is to find the bottom of the stairs, Cao Cao obviously didn't want Lu Bu's life because of love, but Liu Bei didn't follow his wishes, but pointed out the disadvantages of leaving Lu Bu.

Because he wanted to test Liu Bei, in fact, he himself had made a decision to kill Lu Bu, so he asked Liu Bei and didn't ask anyone else.

What experiences did Cao Cao and Liu Bei have in common? They were all pitted by Lu Bu, and they were pitted quite tragically. It was specially pretended to be shown to Liu Bei, and it can also be understood as digging a pit for Liu Bei.

Because he wanted to test Liu Bei's thoughts by asking Liu Bei, and Cao Cao didn't want to kill Lu Bu a little, although Lu Bu's character was not good, but he was indeed very powerful.

This is because Cao Cao wants to understand Liu Bei in this way, and he also wants to give Liu Bei a face in this way.

Cao Cao's real intention was to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, in order to deter Liu Bei. Lü Bu and Liu Bei, both of whom belonged to the princes who occupied one side, were very powerful, and both had been enemies of Cao Cao for a long time.

Cao Cao's "suspicion" was specially pretended to be shown to Liu Bei, and it can also be understood as digging a pit for Liu Bei, Cao Cao was undecided when he killed Lu Bu, and consulted Liu Bei's opinion on the spot, which shows that Cao Cao dug a big pit for Liu Bei.

In fact, it is also a matter of form. Because the Three Kingdoms belonged to the period of war, there was no unified king. If you give orders on your own, it will give people the impression that you are the greatest.

In 198 AD, Cao Cao finally broke through the White Gate Tower and surrendered Lu Bu, and Lu Bu began to beg Cao Cao for mercy, saying that he was willing to become Cao Cao's general, fight for Cao Cao, and seize the world, in fact, Lu Bu still has a great probability of surviving at this time. But Cao Cao asked Liu Bei's opinion, and Liu Bei's opinion was not to suggest killing Lu Bu like the original Ding Feng and Dong Zhuo, so why did Cao Cao ask Liu Bei for advice? The reasons for this are as follows.

First of all, Cao Cao was a scheming man.

At that time, after Lu Bu was surrendered by Cao Cao, he was actually bound to die, but Lu Bu had many outstanding generals under him, like Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others, if Cao Cao personally said that he would kill Lu Bu, he would definitely make his generals think that he was a ** person, and no one would obey him. Therefore, he asked Liu Bei casually, and successfully turned this crisis to Liu Bei, from which it can be seen that Cao Cao's heart is insidious and cunning.

Secondly, Cao Cao was far-sighted.

At that time, Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes caused the dissatisfaction of many of his subordinates, although Cao Cao's heart may be very eager for a brainless and high-value person like Lu Bu to serve him, but he was also afraid that in the future, like Dong Zhuo, his military generals would be used by the civil officials in the court and kill him, so he felt that he could only kill Lu Bu. But he was afraid that the civil officials would see his careful thoughtsSo he asked Liu Bei, so that they would think that Liu Bei was going to kill Lu Bu.

Cao Cao admires heroes very much, so if Liu Bei can take refuge in him, it will be a very important thing for him to recruit other talents.

In fact, no matter what advice Liu Bei gave, Cao Cao killed Lu Bu, after all, he also hated this kind of capricious guy very much.

At that time, Liu Bei was very famous, and Cao Cao was also eager to seek talents, which meant respecting Liu Bei and recruiting Liu Bei, and this was a good help for him to recruit talents in the future.

It can be seen from the side that Cao Cao is eager to seek talent. He respected Liu Bei, so when he executed Lu Bu, he would ask Liu Bei's opinion.

This is because he wants to direct Lu Bu's hatred to Liu Bei, and it just depends on whether Liu Bei is loyal to him.

Because Liu Bei was a relatively famous benevolent and righteous person, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei if Liu Bei also let him be killed, then Cao Cao would not be criticized for killing Lu Bu.

There are two reasons, the first is to ask Liu Bei if he can transfer Lu Bu's hatred, so that he feels that Liu Bei is making decisions, and the other is to see if Liu Bei is loyal to him.

Because Cao Cao wanted to let Liu Bei carry the pot of killing Lu Bu, thus destroying Liu Bei's reputation, who knew that Liu Bei was very smart and did not directly let Cao Cao kill Lu Bu.

Because according to Lu Bu's personality, as long as there is a chance to live, he will definitely submit to Cao Cao, so Liu Bei doesn't want to see Cao Cao join such a powerful person. That's why he rushed to make a statement.

Because there was a feud between Lu Bu and Liu Bei, Liu Bei had to open his mouth and guide Cao Cao to kill Lu Bu.

Because he didn't want Cao Cao to subdue Lu Bu, he would inevitably be the one who would go to war with Cao Cao in the future, and he didn't want the other party to have such a powerful general.
