When Cao Cao was cooking wine and talking about heroes, why did Liu Bei drop his chopsticks?

At that time, Liu Bei had nowhere to go, so he could only stay by Cao Cao's side, and he was also imprisoned by Cao Cao, unable to escape, once the two drank, Cao Cao and Liu Bei commented on the heroes of the world, and said a series of characters such as Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Zhang, etc., Cao Cao felt that he was not a hero, and only said that Liu Bei and himself were heroes.

When Liu Bei heard Cao Cao say that he was a hero, suddenly the chopsticks fell to the ground, in Luo Guanzhong's pen, this story was depicted more expressively, and a detail was added, saying that the moment Liu Bei dropped the chopsticks, there happened to be a thunder in the sky, so Liu Bei hurriedly covered it with thunder, saying that he was startled by the thunder, so he let the chopsticks fall to the ground.

In fact, Cao Cao and Liu Bei both know that Liu Bei's chopsticks have nothing to do with thunder, so why did Liu Bei drop his chopsticks, you must know that Liu Bei has the ambition to compete for the world, and Cao Cao is the same, both of them were heroes at that time, but Liu Bei's strength at that time was very small, Cao Cao's strength was much higher than him, and the reason why Liu Bei dropped his chopsticks was to show weakness in front of Cao Cao.

At that time, Liu Bei's life was in Cao Cao's hands, if Cao Cao wanted to kill him, Liu Bei would not be able to escape no matter what, but Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and righteousness resounded all over the world, and if Cao Cao killed him, it would chill the hearts of talents all over the world, so it was a question of whether to kill Liu Bei, so Cao Cao cooked wine and talked about heroes, and deliberately tested Liu Bei to see Liu Bei's thoughts.

If Cao Cao said to Liu Bei that there are only two heroes in the world, Liu Bei hurriedly humbled and said that he didn't dare to dare, then Cao Cao could naturally see that he was pretending to be forced, whether it was in ancient times or in modern times, pretending to be forced would always be struck by lightning, if Liu Bei used language to show weakness at this time, it would seem that the strength was not enough, and the best way was to drop the chopsticks, a body movement, which was more effective than any language.

Liu Bei dropped his chopsticks, which meant to tell Cao Cao that his strength was still very small, and he was not Cao Cao's opponent at all, so that Cao Cao could rest assured that Liu Bei was showing weakness, and Cao Cao naturally understood his thoughts, and he didn't ask any more questions at will, for Liu Bei, his survival rule under Cao Cao Cao was to show weakness, because he would not submit to Cao Cao, and could only show weakness to save his life.

But showing weakness is not the same as begging for mercy, many people don't understand weakness thoroughly, and some people even think that as long as they talk about it, they will never be able to pose a threat to Cao Cao, so Cao Cao will be relieved? When Liu Bei showed weakness, he would explain that he couldn't do it from all angles, so that he could buy more time and space for himself.

Because Liu Bei was afraid that Cao Cao would kill him, he deliberately showed weakness to win more living space for himself. And the action of dropping chopsticks is more powerful than any words.

Because he was very surprised that Cao Cao could see his thoughts, in order to hide his embarrassment, he pretended to drop the chopsticks.

Because what Cao Cao said was very in line with the social situation at the time, and he knew him very well, he might be in danger of his life.

Cao CaoWhen boiling wine on heroesLiu Beimistakenly thought that Cao Cao saw through his disguise and dropped the chopsticks, Liu Bei was very difficult at the beginning of his business, he went all over the world to seek refuge in various forces, and went to Cao Cao's subordinates, Cao Cao admired Liu Bei very much, but Liu Bei has been disguising himself, pretending to have no ambitions, and making Cao Cao take it lightly.

Liu Bei mistakenly thought that Cao Cao saw through the disguise, so he was scared off the chopsticks.

There is no such story in history, this story comes from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

It is an extension and adaptation of the author based on similar events. Lu Bu.

Originally, he occupied Xuzhou and had a place to live and pretend to be a place to live, but he was defeated by Lu Bu and lost Xuzhou. Later Cao Cao and Lü Bu. fought Liu Bei, and also helped Cao Cao and the two to work together to defeat Lu Bu.

Cao Cao admired Liu Bei's brothers very much before, so he took this opportunity to take refuge in Cao Cao. Liu Bei and Cao Cao arrived in Xudu.

After that, he got Cao Cao's courtesy, but Liu Bei had been scared, and regretted that Cao Cao was not at ease with himself, so he chose to disguise himself.

Liu Bei's days under Cao Cao, one day, Cao Cao suddenly invited Liu Bei to drink, the two drank halfway, the dark clouds in the sky rolled, Cao Cao and Liu Bei talked about the changes about the dragon, and so Liu Bei and Liu Bei trousers were discussed, who can be called a hero in the world, Liu Bei listed Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shu, Sun Ce.

and others, but these people were refuted by Cao Cao one by one, Cao Cao thought that although these people were good, their personalities were all very flawed, and they were not real heroes, and the real heroes were only Liu Bei and Cao Cao. When Liu Bei heard Cao Cao say this, he thought that Cao Cao had seen through his disguise, and his frightened chopsticks fell directly to the ground.

Cao Cao saw that Liu Bei's reaction was so huge, and naturally he immediately became suspicious, but when the chopsticks in Liu Bei's hand fell to the ground, it happened to be pouring rain in the sky, and there was thunder and lightning at the same time, Liu Bei's face did not change, and he calmly picked up the chopsticks that fell on the ground, and said to Cao Cao that he was scared because of thunder, and dropped the chopsticks, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei with a smile, and the eldest husband was also afraid of thunder, and Liu Bei said that the saint would change color when he heard thunder, not to mention him, so this matter was covered up by Liu Bei lightly, Cao Cao no longer doubted Liu Bei.

Because Cao Cao has been secretly mocking Liu Bei. warned Liu Bei not to do anything out of line, and Liu Bei's strength was very weak at that time, so he was afraid.

In this process, Cao Cao's momentum is very strong, and he is also a very ambitious person, so he will scare the other party.

Liu Bei wanted to hide his edge at that time, and wanted the other party to give up his vigilance, this body movement was to tell Cao Cao that he was not his opponent.

Synopsis: Liu Bei participated in the anti-Cao Cao political school, and Liu Bei grew vegetables at home to hide his identity. One day, Liu Bei was pouring vegetables, and Cao Cao sent someone to invite Liu Bei to Xiaoting Qingmei to cook wine.

Cao Cao talked about the heroes of the world and asked Liu Bei who the heroes of the world were, and Cao Cao said: When the heroes of the world are, there are only you and me.

When Liu Bei heard this, he was taken aback, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously. After such a cover-up, Liu Bei made Cao Cao think that he was a philistine man with no ambitions and was as timid as a mouse, and Cao Cao no longer doubted Liu Bei.

The allusion to the hero of the boiled wine in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is very famous, referring to the battle of Yuan Cao Guandu in the fourth year of Jian'an.

Before, Cao Cao, who controlled the court situation.

Tempted Liu Bei in the form of a banquet.

Whether there is an ambition to dominate the world, the story that was finally concealed by Liu Bei's clever words. However, this only exists in the romance, and the two have not had such an opportunity to sit down and drink together in history. So, when cooking wine and talking about heroes, why didn't Cao Cao kill Liu Bei?

First, Liu Bei hid it very well. Second, Liu Bei is not a threat for the time being. Third, Cao Cao did not want to kill Liu Bei.

First. Liu Bei was just a small figure under Cao Cao at that time, not a leading figure in one of the Three Kingdoms that we say we know. Cao Cao did this, there was indeed a sense of temptation, but Liu Bei behaved very well, when Cao Cao said "the hero of the world, only the king and the ear", Liu Bei's chopsticks were scared off, and when there was thunder, Liu Bei also showed that he was very scared.

Cao Cao thought that Liu Bei had no ambitions, and he didn't even have the courage to compete for the world.

Second. In terms of strength, Liu Bei's strength is very weak, and he is not Cao Cao's opponent at all, far from the point where Cao Cao feels threatened. Although the two were not of the same mind, Liu Bei was not the main contradiction at that time.

Third. We can't use later developments to define a series of previous behaviors. If Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei would become a fierce rival in his future life, then he didn't have to think about anything, and when he was cooking wine and talking about heroes, no matter what the reason, he must be eliminated.

But no one knows what the future holds, so we can only look at it according to the special environment at that time. Liu Bei nominally belonged to Cao Cao's subordinates, and his reputation was relatively good. At that time, Cao Cao was not arrogant to the point of being invincible in the world, and there were many enemies outside.

Especially when he was with Yuan Shao.

The war made him need to unite all forces. Killing Liu Bei, a person who defected to him, did him no harm. Therefore, during the period of cooking wine and talking about heroes, Cao Cao never had this thought at all, otherwise, what would outsiders think about people like Cao Cao?

Because Liu Bei's strength was still relatively strong at that time, if he killed the other party directly, it was very likely to cause war, and his life would be lost at that time.

At that time, Liu Bei's strength was not strong, and he may not care so much about Liu Bei, and he would have some scruples about Liu Bei's brother.

At that time, Liu Bei's ability was not particularly strong, Cao Cao did not take Liu Bei in his eyes, and Liu Bei did not have much ability.

Because it was not a good time at that time, and Cao Cao had always been interested in Liu Bei's talents. The so-called heroes cherish heroes, from another point of view, Cao Cao's banquet is mainly to test whether Liu Bei has the interest in fighting the world, if there is, Cao Cao has one more strong opponent, and he will definitely start immediately. However, Liu Bei is not stupid.

He knew Cao Cao's purpose, so he picked up his life.

Opposite Liu Bei, Cao Cao's acting skills are superb.

Liu Bei is a person with superb acting skills, and even God chose to stand on his side this time, although it is not good to say so, but it is really amazing. Cao Cao said to Liu Bei, "The only hero in the world is to make the king and the ear", Liu Bei was obviously frightened by this kind of sentence, and the chopsticks in his hand also fell to the ground. At this time, there was a thunder in the sky, which happened to be because this thunder fully covered Liu Bei's panic, and Liu Bei also took the opportunity to relieve the siege, saying that the chopsticks were frightened by the thunder.

Cao Cao saw that Liu Bei was frightened by the thunder, and thought that Liu Bei was a cowardly person, so he didn't mention what had just happened. <>

Cao Cao did not dare to kill Liu Bei for the sake of his reputation.

Even if Cao Cao was suspicious of Liu Bei, he couldn't kill him easily. Despite Liu Bei's ambitions, Cao Cao still did not dare to kill him publicly. He can only play tricks behind his back, or make up some lies after killing people, and it's no problem to cover it up.

If Cao Cao hastily attacked Liu Bei, it would be a major blow to his reputation. In the eyes of others, talents like Liu Bei took refuge in Cao Cao, but Cao Cao killed him. In the future, no one of talents will turn to him.

This is also the main reason why Cao Cao did not dare to kill Liu Bei. <>

How to cook wine on the hero of this story?

In this story, neither of them is on the wine table. Cao Cao was strong, Liu Bei was in decline. Liu Bei naturally has to deal with it carefully, walking on thin ice, and relying on his acting skills to deceive Cao Cao's confidence.

Using Cao Cao's force to suppress him was just to test Liu Bei. If Liu Bei has the ambition to become a hero and Liu Bei's prestige, it must be the biggest obstacle to his future unification. With such a thorn in the eye, Cao Cao naturally wants to eradicate it as soon as possible.

But Liu Bei's cowardice made Cao Cao dispel this thought. This story is a microcosm of the murderous times of the Three Kingdoms, and it is also the most exciting drama of the Three Kingdoms.

Because Liu Bei at that time was the orthodoxy of the Han nationality, if Cao Cao killed him, it was not very reasonable, and Liu Bei was very powerful personally, if Cao Cao killed him directly, he would not necessarily be his opponent.

Because Liu Bei didn't bring danger to himself at that time, and wanted Liu Bei to use it for himself, he naturally wouldn't kill the other party.

Because Cao Cao wanted to protect his reputation and didn't want his reputation to deteriorate, he didn't kill Liu Bei directly.

Liu Bei thought that Cao Cao would take the opportunity to kill him.
