Cao Cao asked Liu Bei to lead his troops to fight Yuan Shu, but later regretted sending people to ch

It is possible that Cao Cao sent Liu Bei to fight Yuan Shu.

The intent is twofold. Intention 1:

After Yuan Shu failed, he had to go north to find his brother Yuan Shao. If the two Yuan merge, it will have a very serious impact on Cao Cao's great cause of unification, which Cao Cao is very afraid of. Therefore, blocking Yuan Shu became Cao Cao's only choice at that time.

So who to send to stop it? There is no doubt that Liu Bei is the best candidate. Liu Bei has dealt with Yuan Shu for many years, and has fought with Yuan Shu, so it can be said that he "knows himself and knows his opponent", and it is most appropriate to send Liu Bei.

Intention 2: Since you know that Liu Bei has the ability and virtue to dominate in the future, and it is not good to kill him directly, why not borrow a knife to kill people and send Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shu. Whoever wins, one of Cao Cao's opponents can be eliminated. Then, Cao Cao tried to find a way to get rid of the winning side.

He wanted to kill Liu Bei with the help of Yuan Shu's hand, because these two people were his enemies, and Cao Cao was at the time of employing people, so it was inconvenient to kill Liu Bei in person, so he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people.

Because Yuan Shu's strength was much stronger than Liu Bei at that time, Cao Cao chose to crusade against Yuan Shu first, and then turn around to deal with Liu Bei.

Because Liu Bei was still a small force at that time, he was not a threat in Cao Cao's view, and the biggest threat was Yuan Shao, who still had to crusade against him.

Liu Bei had no choice but to take refuge in Yuan Shao, and after Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao, he lost Xuzhou, and was separated from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so he had no way to go to Yuan Shao. Because Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were competitors at that time.

Liu Bei was not treated well by Yuan Shao, one was that Yuan Shu, whom Liu Bei had exterminated, was Yuan Shao's younger brother, and the other was that when Yuan Shao's generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou were killed by Guan Yu, Yuan Shao immediately wanted to cut Liu Bei to vent his anger. Third, Yuan Shao was always at ease with Liu Bei, and did not let him lead the troops at all, let alone let him fight on his own. I don't want his strategic advice.

Liu Bei sent people to Yuan Shao for help, and Yuan Shao's advisor Tian Feng advised Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao when Xu Du's troops were empty, but Yuan Shao did not agree. Cao Cao's army attacked Xuzhou, but Liu Bei had few soldiers and could not resist Cao Cao's attack. had to give up Xuzhou and go to Jizhou to join Yuan Shao.

Guan Yu, who was guarding Xiapi, could not withstand the fierce attack of Cao's army, so he had to surrender.

Yuan Shao was very happy when he heard that Liu Bei had been defeated by Cao Cao and came to join him, thinking that he had added another helper against Cao Cao, and immediately sent an army to meet him. More than a month later, Liu Bei's scattered troops gradually gathered, and their strength gradually recovered.

Because he wanted to test Liu Bei's ability. See if he has the ability to compete with himself in the future, and he can also win this war with his subordinate Guan Yu Zhang Fei.

In fact, it is to test Liu Bei's talent and see if Liu Bei has the ability to be the hero of the world.
