Why would Liu Biao rather offend Cao Cao than contain Liu Bei?

Liu Biao sheltered Liu Bei, on the one hand, out of his own interests, on the other hand, Liu Bei claimed to be a descendant of the royal family, and he didn't do any work on the surface, for fear that people in the world would gossip.

Liu Biao and Jiangdong Sun Quan have a grudge against killing their father, and Sun Quan is also eyeing Jingzhou. Imagine, at this time, Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao, if Jingzhou was not taken in, in order to survive, Liu Bei would cross the river and go down to Sun Quan of Eastern Wu. And although Liu Bei does not have many soldiers and horses, his brothers Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are all enemies.

Taking a step back, facing the dilemma of Sun Quan and Cao Cao of Eastern Wu being attacked from both sides, if he could get Liu Xuande's help, it was still possible to keep Jingzhou, and the most he could do was to give some grain and grass and military salaries.

Also, Liu Bei claims to be a descendant of the royal family, and he is also a relative of the Han family, since they are all a family, and Liu Bei intends to come to defect, if Liu Biao refuses to leave, what will the world think of Liu Biao? In that era, those who won the hearts of the people won the world, and the words of people were terrible. Therefore, taking Liu Bei in is beneficial to Liu Biao no matter how you look at it.

Liu Biao and Liu Bei are brothers of the same clan.

Liu Biao is a descendant of Liu She, the king of Han Lu Gong, and served as the Taishou of Jingzhou. Liu Bei was repeatedly defeated in the north, and he voted for Liu Biao, called him a brother; In terms of blood, he belongs to the royal family of the Han family.

Liu Bei is the king of Zhongshan, after Liu Sheng, Liu Biao is a serious royal prince. Liu Bei is actually just a staff, a guest, a friend, and a brother under Liu Biao, but he just has a place to stay.

Liu Bei's early experience

Liu Bei was a descendant of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan Jing, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei's grandfather, Liu Xiong, was promoted to filial piety and was promoted to Fan Ling of Dongjun. Liu Bei's father, Liu Hong, died early, and the young Liu Bei and his mother made a career of weaving mats and selling shoes, and their lives were very difficult.

There is a mulberry tree on the southeast corner fence of Liu Bei's house, which is more than five zhang high, and it looks like a car cover from a distance.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Biao planned to entrust Jingzhou to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei resolutely refused to accept it, there are two reasons why there will be such a situation. First, Liu Biao was not sincerely entrusted, and there was a temptation element entrusted to Liu Bei; Second, the power of the wealthy family in Jingzhou is huge, and even if Liu Bei becomes the lord of Jingzhou, it is impossible to sit in this position.

After Liu Bei proclaimed himself King Jing of Zhongshan, he always wanted to support the Han family in his heart, and he also had his own ambitions. has been planning for many years, but has never gained anything, and has been under the fence, under the protection of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, I have got a moment of peace. During the Jingzhou period, Liu Biao wanted to entrust Jingzhou to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei refused to resign.

At this stage, it is not that Liu Bei does not want Jingzhou, but that the conditions are not available.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han dynasty declined, and many princes were divided and self-reliant, and Liu Biao's strength was not weak at first. It's a pity that he has no ambition and no ambition, so he missed the opportunity to compete for power. According to Liu Biao's thoughts, he is unwilling to participate in disputes, but only willing to be in a safe corner, hoping not to disturb each other.

There are still two sons behind him, and even if Liu Biao has no ambition, he doesn't want to give up his hard-earned territory to Liu Bei. While he was still alive, he wanted to test Liu Bei, whether he had two hearts attached to himself, and if he had two hearts, I think it would be difficult for Liu Bei to successfully get out of Liu Biao's mansion. Liu Bei knew that Liu Biao was not sincerely entrusted, so he kept shirking it.

Liu Biao's control of Jingzhou does not completely belong to him, there are many gentry and wealthy families in Jingzhou, among which the Cai family is the most powerful. The sister of the Cai family is the wife of Liu Biao, and she also gave birth to a son Liu Cong for Liu Biao, Cai Mao wants to support Liu Cong to take charge of Jingzhou, so Liu Bei, an external force, is regarded as a thorn in the side of the Cai family.

Liu Bei knew that he was in a dangerous situation, and with his strength at that time, he did not have the strength to compete with the Cai family, and Liu Biao would not be sincerely entrusted, so he decisively refused Liu Biao's entrustment.

There are also many people in the Three Kingdoms, and if Liu Bei's emotional intelligence is not high and he reveals his true temperament everywhere, he will not become the emperor of the dominant side.

It's not that Liu Bei doesn't want it, but Liu Bei knows that Jingzhou is a hot potato, and Liu Bei knows himself, he thinks that he didn't have the strength to get Jingzhou at that time, even if Liu Biao entrusts Jingzhou to Liu Bei, it will be snatched away by others later.

Liu Bei knew that Liu Biao was guarding against him.

After Lü Bei entered Jingzhou, Liu Biao took a defensive stance towards Lü Bei. If Liu Biao trusted Liu Bei, he could join forces with Liu Bei to fight Cao Cao. But Liu Biao asked Liu Bei to be stationed in Xinye.

And Xinye is the place where Liu Biao borders Cao Cao, which means that Xinye is the front line. At the same time, Liu Biao strictly controlled the army, horses, and supplies given to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had only a few thousand soldiers and could only be self-sufficient. Lu Biao's purpose was obvious, worried about Liu Bei's own shortcomings, and asked Liu Bei to beware of Cao Cao.

Liu Biao is testing Liu Bei.

Whether Liu Bei is willing to accept Liu Biao's kindness, let's leave him alone for the time being. First ask Liu Biao if he is really willing to give up Jingzhou? If you think about it, you will know that Liu Biao will not be honest.

Obviously, in those days, it was natural for a son to inherit his father's business, and whether the son could no longer inherit, he was still his son, and even if he lost, it was to his own family. Therefore, there is a good reason to explain that Liu Biao is just testing Liu Bei to see if Liu Bei can fully help his son.

Liu Bei knew that if he took over Jingzhou, he would be attacked.

Jingzhou has been a strategic place since ancient times! Cao Cao almost unified the north and had great power. He has wanted to fight Jingzhou for a long time.

It can be said that Cao Cao attaches great importance to Jingzhou. Even if Liu Biao really gave it to Liu Bei, Liu Bei would not be stupid enough to take Jingzhou at this special moment, because whoever owns Jingzhou will be beaten, which is equivalent to taking food from the tiger's mouth. And Liu Bei came to Liu Biao because he was defeated by Cao Cao and had nowhere to escape.

Now he doesn't want anything. What did he rely on to deal with Cao Cao? Therefore, Liu Bei was well aware of the difficulties, so he would not take over Jingzhou at this time.

During the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China, Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, did not hand over the region to Liu Bei. Instead, after Liu Biao's death, he left the governance of Jingzhou to his son.

There are several reasons why Liu Biao did not hand over Jingzhou to Liu Bei. One possible reason is that Liu Biao's loyalty to Liu Bei and his ability to effectively govern the region are uncertain. Another possibility is that Liu Biao has other candidates in mind, such as his own son, who he believes he can entrust Jingzhou to him.

In addition, Liu Biao may have been influenced by political factors, such as power struggles and factions within the Han Dynasty, which may have caused him to hesitate to hand over such an important region to Liu Bei.

Whatever the specific reason, Liu Bei was ultimately not entrusted with Jingzhou, which had a significant impact on the development of the Three Kingdoms and the subsequent outcome of the Three Kingdoms War.

The main reason is that Liu Bei knows that Liu Biao is not sincere, and Liu Bei can't suppress these wealthy families in Jingzhou.

Because at that time, Liu Bei did not have the strength to hold Jingzhou at all, and it was difficult to fight against Cao Cao.

In the book, Liu Bei is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty, but I think the teasing of Xuandi here should mean far away, because the great-grandson refers to the grandson of someone's grandson. But Liu Qi's son is Liu Sheng, and Liu Sheng's son is Liu Zhen'......It wasn't until more than 10 generations that Liu Bei came out, so the relationship between Liu Qi and Liu Bei can only be said to be the relationship between the ancestors and the descendants, not the great-great-grandson. As for Liu Bei's family tree:

In the 20th chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is written: The Emperor Teasing Sect took the genealogy of the clan to check, and ordered Zong Zhengqing to read it out: 'Emperor Xiaojing gave birth to fourteen sons.

The seventh son was Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan. Shengsheng Lucheng Pavilion Marquis Liu Zhen. Zhensheng Peihou Liu Ang.

Liu Lu, Marquis of Ang Shengzhang. Lusheng Yishui Hou Liu Lian. Lovers of Qinyang Hou Liu Ying.

Yingsheng An Guohou Liu Jian. Jiansheng Guangling Marquis Liu Ai. Mourning glue Hou Liu Xian.

Xiansheng ancestor Liu Shu. Shu Sheng, Qiyang, Hou Liu Yi. Yisheng Yuan Zehou Liu Bi.

Must be born Yingchuan Hou Liu Da. Dasheng Feng Linghou Liu is not suspicious. There is no doubt that Liu Hui, the Marquis of Jichuan.

Wison Dongjun Fan Ling Liu Xiong. Xiongsheng Liu Hong. Hongbushi.

Liu Bei is the son of Liu Hong. As for Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yan of Youzhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Zhang of Yizhou, these are probably the clan relations that have been extended in the process of more than 10 generations, that is, distant relatives, but to what extent, this estimate is impossible to verify.

Liu Biao was a member of the Eastern Han Dynasty clan and served as a state pastor.

Twenty-five emperors of the two Han Dynasty (excluding the six that are not counted in the official history). Liu Bei is separated by blood relations of the twentieth generation.

The Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty were not the same royal family.

So in addition to being counted as having the same surname, it is actually very reluctant to be counted as a homogeneous. It can only be said that it was one three hundred years ago. Otherwise, it would be said that Liu Bei is actually a member of the royal family, but he is actually very reluctant. After three hundred years, I don't know how many suits Liu's has produced, Luo Guanzhong is really an iron fan.

Attached to Liu Biao. In the autumn and July of 200 A.D. (the fifth year of Jian'an), Liu Pi, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Runan, rebelled against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao made Liu Bei lead the troops and Liu Pikou to the south, Guan Yu learned that he died from Cao Cao to Liu Bei's help, Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to attack Liu Bei, Liu Bei Zhan was not conducive to returning to Yuan Shao, and wanted to leave Yuan Shao, on the grounds of connecting Liu Biao, he led his troops back to Runan, united with the Yellow Turban Yu Party Gong Du, there were thousands of people, Cao Cao sent Cai Yang to attack, and was killed by Liu Bei.

In 201 A.D. (the sixth year of Jian'an), Cao Cao Qinluo personally crusaded against Liu Bei, Liu Bei went to Liu Biao, Liu Biao personally went to the suburbs to meet Liu Bei, and treated the guests as gifts, so they were stationed in Xinye, and Jingzhou heroes went to join Liu Bei, causing Liu Biao's suspicion, and Liu Biao was secretly wary of Liu Bei.

In 202 A.D. (the seventh year of Jian'an), Liu Biao ordered Liu Bei to lead the army to the north, to Ye County, Xiahou, Yu Ban, Li Dian led the army to resist, Liu Bei retreated, set up an ambush, Li Dian felt that there was fraud to persuade him, Xiahou did not listen, was defeated by Liu Bei, fortunately Li Dian came in time, Liu Bei's army was too small, knowing that he could not take advantage of each other, so he retreated.

Liu Bei has been in Jingzhou for several years, and he feels that his old age is approaching and his achievements have not been built, so he has a "sigh of flesh", Liu Bei proposed to Liu Biao to take advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Wuhuan to attack Xu Du, but Liu Biao did not.

Fight against Cao Cao. In 207 A.D. (the twelfth year of Jian'an), Liu Bei went to Longzhong to visit Zhuge Liang, and after three visits to the thatched house, Zhuge Liang presented Longzhong to Liu Bei. Blind macro.

In 208 A.D. (the thirteenth year of Jian'an), Cao Cao personally led the army south, and at this time Liu Biao died of illness, Liu Biao's second son Liu Cong set up, sent a messenger to surrender to Cao Cao, Liu Bei Tun troops in Fancheng, did not know the sudden arrival of Cao Cao's army, arrived in Wancheng to know the situation, and then led the army to leave, passing through Xiangyang, Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Bei attack Liu Cong, can occupy Jingzhou, but Liu Bei and Liu Biao are the same sect, can not bear to take each other.

Liu Bei shouted Liu Cong outside the city, Liu Cong did not dare to come out because he was afraid, Liu Cong's subordinates and many Jingzhou scholars took refuge in Liu Bei, when they arrived in Dangyang, there were more than 100,000 people, thousands of vehicles, more than 10 miles a day, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to take hundreds of ships, so that he and himself met in Jiangling.

Someone persuaded Liu Bei: "Jiangling should be quickly secured now, although we have a large number of soldiers, there are too few soldiers, if Cao Cao comes, how can we stop it?" But Liu Bei said:

If you want to achieve great things, you must be people-oriented, and now so many people have left their hometowns to follow me, how can I bear to leave them! ”
