Why did Cao Cao and Liu Bei not kill Liu Bei in the early stage?

You said that there is a huge disparity in status, so why did Cao Cao kill Liu Bei? At that time, although Liu Bei's hard power was completely inferior to Cao Cao, Cao Cao had already become famous at that time, and his own power could not be ignored. And Liu Bei is a royal descendant of the Han family on his head, and in other words, there is no comparison with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is not a traverser, and he didn't know that Liu Bei's potential was so great that he could compete with him.

At that time, Liu Bei was just a little minion in the eyes of him Cao Cao, and he also had to cherish his reputation, so Cao Cao would not kill such a person casually. If Cao Cao knew what would happen later, I think Cao Cao would definitely kill Liu Bei. But the problem is that Cao Cao is not a traverser, you mean that Cao Cao wants to strangle danger in the cradle, but the question is whether you know what danger is.

Cao Cao, it is impossible for him to kill Liu Bei just because he thinks that Liu Bei is not simple, this is completely unrealistic. At that time, Cao Cao could not cover the sky with one hand, his code of conduct was within the rules, and he could not act unscrupulously. Cao Cao's reputation at that time was not good, and if he did it again, Cao Cao would offend many people, so Cao Cao also had to cherish his wings.

If Cao Cao acts a little too much within the rules, people won't say anything. But Cao Cao can't break the rules, but he has to maintain the rules, so it's impossible for Cao Cao to kill Liu Bei.

After all, his main enemies at that time were still the Yuan brothers, and as for Liu Bei, Cao Cao never took it seriously. In the early days, Liu Bei was a man of shit luck in Cao Cao's eyes, with two good brothers who were strong in martial arts and loyal to him. Would he have killed Liu Bei just because of this, if Liu Bei had made it clear about his hostility to Cao Cao at that time, Cao Cao might have killed Liu Bei.

Because at that time, Cao Cao didn't expect that Liu Bei could become his confidant in the end, and Liu Bei didn't do anything wrong, so Cao Cao had no reason to kill him.

Because at that time, Liu Bei had always been attached to the other princes, and as their general, Cao Cao faced those princes, and Cao Cao also admired Liu Bei himself very much, and was unwilling to harm him.

Because the contradiction between Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the early stage was not very acute, Liu Bei's existence did not damage Cao Cao's interests too much, and Cao Cao did not realize that Liu Bei would become his biggest enemy in the future.

Because although Cao Cao felt that Liu Bei was a hero at that time, he had no grievances and no hatred, who knows whether he will be an enemy or a friend in the future, he can't kill people because they are talented and ambitious, so how can they attract talents to work for themselves.

1. Ability. Cao Cao's ability is obviously better than Liu Bei, Cao Cao is a very scheming person, and many things have his own clever ideas. Liu Bei is different, he basically has no opinion when he encounters problems, and he is waiting to count on Zhuge Liang.

2. Employing people. Cao Cao is a meritocracy, so there are many capable people under him, such as Guo Jia and Jia Yi. Liu Bei only believed in Zhuge Liang, and the rest were some military generals.

Strategize and win thousands of miles away, how can you do it without a strategist. This is why there are three stinkers who say that Zhuge Liang is the top.

3. Region. Cao Cao controlled the entire north, and his abundant resources and abundant personnel were less than those of Han and Wu combined. Liu Bei's control area is much smaller than Cao Cao, and it is a small place, the traffic is inconvenient, the Shu Road is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky, how can this kind of place be developed, and how can the productivity be improved.

4. Number of days. It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. The Battle of Chibi is a very convincing example, God destined Cao Cao not to unify the world, so he formed a three-legged situation.

5. Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty (June 10, 161, 223), Han nationality, the word Xuande, was a native of Zhuo County, Zhuo County (now Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province), and after Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, he was the founding emperor and politician of the Shu Han Dynasty. Historians often call him the ancestor.

6. Cao Cao (155 - March 15, 220), Emperor Wu of Wei, the word Mengde, nicknamed Apu, Jili, Peiguo Qiao County (now Bozhou City, Anhui Province) native. He was an outstanding politician, military strategist, writer, calligrapher, and poet in ancient China. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was the son of Taiwei Cao Song and the founder of Cao Wei.

Because Liu Bei could not pose a threat to Cao Cao at that time, and Cao Cao also appreciated Liu Bei's talent and hoped to be able to use it for his own use.

In Cao Cao's heart, Liu Bei is a benevolent and righteous person and a special person, so Cao Cao still respects Liu Bei more, and in the end he failed to kill Liu Bei.

1.Liu Bei did not pose a threat to Cao Cao, at that time Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao after being defeated by Lü Bu, and Liu Bei's strength did not pose a threat to Cao Cao. 2.

Cao Cao's political position determined that he could not kill Liu Bei. 3.Liu Bei's prestige is very high, and if Cao Cao kills Liu Bei, then he will be scolded by the world as unkind and unjust.
