Who are the heroes of the Three Kingdoms? Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought for thirty years.

Speaking of natural rivals, we have to mention Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Cao Cao and Liu Bei are undoubtedly the dancers who have the last laugh in the Three Kingdoms, and they are a magnificent stage with many people. They wrestled with each other and fought with each other, and finally became lords who ruled Britain. Although Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought for decades and were sworn enemies, they never concealed their appreciation for each other. They call heroes cherish heroes! As Xin Qiji, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, said, "Who is the hero in the world? Cao! " Cao Cao and Liu Bei are like two sides of the same coin, explaining to us what a hero is!

One: Cao is of the same kind

In RoyceWong's Hero, a story is recorded:

At the end of his reign, the emperor tasted it in the capital, and after returning to China with Tsao Gong, he wooed the United States. The emperor is going to collapse, and the world is in chaos. The army is going to ask Dong Zhuo for help.

In other words, Liu Bei went to Luoyang in his early years and met Cao Cao, one of the eight captains of Xiyuan. After that, Liu Bei and Cao Cao returned to Guo Pei, Cao Cao's hometown, where they recruited soldiers. Although there is no official history, I'm afraid this story was told by RoyceWong, not groundless. After all, RoyceWong is one of the seven sons of Jian 'an. He has a special friendship with Cao Shi and his son, and he can know the inside story that others don't know. That is to say, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have known each other for a long time, and they worked together.

Cao Cao attached great importance to Liu Bei, a rising star six years younger than himself, and wanted to win him over for his own use. Under the curtain, Cao Cao often confided to Liu Bei and expressed his views on the current situation. But Liu Bei felt that Cao Cao's stature could not hold him, because he was affectionate and my concubine had no intention. So soon after, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to say goodbye to Cao Cao.

However, to Cao Cao's surprise, this seemingly honest Liu Bei gave himself a "big gift" shortly after he left. Cao Cao has always looked down on Yuan Shao, and he has no intention of telling Liu Bei his negative views on Yuan Shao. In the blink of an eye, Liu Bei told Yuan Shao what Cao Cao had said. To this end, Cao Cao also bit his tongue and thought it was a "slip of the tongue."

Although Liu Bei once betrayed himself, he never hated Liu Bei with Cao Cao's respect. For political reasons, Cao Cao made many suggestions to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and promoted Liu Bei as a senior official. In A.D. 196, Cao Cao went to court and named Liu Bei as the general of Town East and Yicheng as Hou Ting.

198, Cao Liu ushered in the second cooperation opportunity. At that time, Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu, who lost not only Xuzhou, the base area, but also his wife and children. Liu Bei was discouraged and had to go west to Cao Cao. When he arrived at Cao Cao's residence, he accepted Liu Bei and gave him horses and hay. Later, Cao Cao and Liu Bei defeated Lu Bu together and returned to Xudu together.

In order to win over Liu Bei, Cao Cao gave him unprecedented courtesy. He went to court again and asked for an official position for Liu Bei. This time, Liu Bei was named General Zuo and became the highest-ranking Hakka general under Cao Cao. In addition, Cao Cao and Liu Bei went out in the same car and ate at the same table. Obviously, Cao Cao wants to train Liu Bei to be his second in command. However, even if Cao Cao did, Liu Bei was still not prepared to show his love.

In essence, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are the same kind of people. Cao Cao once said, "Liu Bei, I am proud of you. But it's too late. " The word "Ji" means the same type of person. Cao Cao and Liu Bei, both of whom have the characteristics of great talent and great ambition, are extremely attractive and are by no means inferior to others. Therefore, Liu Bei will never obey Cao Cao, no matter how good he is to himself. This is the so-called one mountain can't accommodate two tigers. Liu Bei and Cao Cao, like ice and charcoal, will never get along.

In Cao Ying, Liu Bei often feels unsafe. Because he knew that many ministers under Cao Cao had advised Cao Cao to commit suicide. And his own life was saved by Cao Cao. But if you work under the suspicious Cao Cao, you will be killed if you can't protect yourself. Later, Cao Cao went to Liu Bei for a drink and said a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages-"All heroes in the world only hear about monarch and ministers." On the surface, Cao Cao is praising Liu Bei's ability, but on the other hand, he is beating Liu Bei-"Even if you are a strong dragon, you have to keep your head down." In this regard, Liu Bei was terrified, so he began to plan a plot to assassinate Cao Cao with Dong Cheng and others.

With Liu Bei's ability to recognize people, it is natural to know that Dong Cheng and others can't achieve great things. So he conquered Yuan Shu, quickly occupied Xiapi, and killed Che Zhou, the satrap of Xuzhou established by Cao Cao. Since then, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have officially torn their faces and become sworn enemies, and there is no possibility of * * * or cooperation.

Two: Struggle for 30 years.

Politically, Liu Bei is undoubtedly the nemesis of Cao Cao and is often played by Liu Bei. He was not only framed, betrayed, but even almost murdered. Cao Cao, a wise man, can hardly get any useful information from Liu Bei's face without any waves. And his careless poet character can always be used by Liu Bei. In peacetime, Cao Cao was probably killed by Liu Bei. However, during the war years, Liu Bei, whose military ability was mediocre, had to be hunted down and defeated by Cao Cao.

When Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei talked about the art of war, they often regarded Cao as their own stunt and made no secret of their awe. Even thought that Cao Cao fought like Sun Wu and Wu Qi. When Liu Bei killed Cao Cao's general Cai Yang, he said, "Although I am in an inconvenient situation, you are not as good as me when you wait for a million people." Cao Mengde will come by bike and I will go by myself. "That is to say, generals like Cai Yang, even if they bring millions of soldiers, I will not be afraid; But Cao Gong came by bike, and I want to run. " Liu Bei was very afraid of Cao Cao's military ability.

Isn't Cao Cao afraid of Liu Bei? He clearly understood that if Liu Bei was left alone, it would be a terrible future trouble. Cao Cao once said, "My husband Liu Bei is an outstanding man. If you don't strike now, it will be a disaster and you will worry about me. " Liu Bei is like a magnet. Wherever he goes, there is always a small team following him. There are many famous players like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in this team. No matter how many times Liu Bei was defeated, the team just couldn't get away and always got together in a short time. It's impossible to inject water into it.

Wherever he went, Liu Bei always used his fame and charm to win over local strongmen, thus easily pulling up tens of thousands of military forces. Pei Qian once commented on Liu Bei: "Living in China can confuse people, but not people." If you take advantage of risks, being a party leader is enough. "That is to say, it should be difficult for Liu Bei to dive into the abyss and then destroy him.

Therefore, Cao Cao always listed Liu Bei as the first goal in his crusade. Wherever Liu Bei fled, Cao Cao pursued him. In 200 AD, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Liu Bei, who was entrenched in Xiapi. At that time, Yuan Shao had been besieged by Cao Cao. But even in the face of such a crisis, Cao Cao resolutely led the main force to attack Liu Bei and beat him out of the water. Liu Bei was forced to take refuge in Yuan Shao. In the same year, Liu Bei and Wen Chou attacked Cao Cao and lost again. Later, Liu Bei left Yuan Shao, occupied Runa with Liu Pi and Gong Dou, and continued to harass Cao Cao's rear. During this period, Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Ren, but he killed Cao Cao's general Cai Yang. In 20 1 year, Cao Cao led an army to attack Liu Bei. This time, Liu Bei did not dare to confront the enemy, so he led the army south to take refuge in Liu Biao and became his guest.

Although Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao again and again, he constantly learned from his failure and tried to find a way to defeat Cao Cao. In 202 AD, Liu Bei set an ambush at Bowangpo and defeated Xiahou _, the general of Cao Cao. This is the first time that Liu Bei has won a major victory over Cao Cao's army.

In 208 AD, Cao Cao, who unified the north, went south to Jingzhou, and Liu Cong, the son of Liu Biao, was forced to surrender. Later, Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought in Dangyang, and Liu Bei was defeated and almost captured. Although Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao, everyone still thinks that only Liu Bei can resist Cao Cao. As Sun Quan said, "If you are not Liu Yuzhou, you can be Cao Cao!" On this basis, Sun Quan formed an alliance with Liu Bei to jointly resist Cao Cao's invasion.

In 208 AD, Sun formed an alliance with Liu, launched a Battle of Red Cliffs with Cao Cao, and finally repelled the menacing .. From Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei finally found that Cao Cao was not invincible, which laid the foundation for him to defeat Cao Cao alone in Hanzhong.

Later, Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from his ally Wu Dong and got a stable base. Since then, Liu Bei's western expedition to Yizhou has finally realized the strategic plan of "crossing Jing Yi". After occupying Yizhou, Liu Beibing pointed to Hanzhong, the gateway of Bashu, and launched a final decisive battle with Cao Cao.

In 2 19, Liu Bei treacherously killed Cao Cao's general Xia in Dingjun Mountain and occupied Hanzhong. At this time, Liu Beibing was stronger than Ma Zhuang, and his fame was like rain, and his advisers were like clouds. His strength has changed. Liu Bei proudly said: Cao Gong came in person, but there was nothing he could do! "Soon after, Cao Cao really led the army to Hanzhong, and when he saw the banner of the mountain, Liu Beijun, who was in danger, couldn't help feeling desperate. Cao Gong, who is experienced, knows that I'm afraid I can't win this battle.

In the battle of Hanzhong, Cao and Liu met for the last time. In 189, Cao Cao and Liu Bei met for the first time in Luoyang. They are all young people in their thirties, high-spirited, pointing out the country and making great efforts to make contributions. Thirty years later, Liu Bei and Cao Cao fought again in Hanzhong. Both of them were over sixty years old and became lords of the separatist regime. But they have no time to sigh or talk. The flame of the sword and gun is their last farewell gift to their "friends". In the end, Cao Cao was defeated by the banks of the Hanshui River, and almost suffered a disaster. How will Liu Bei feel when he sees Cao Cao retreating from a distance? Are you excited? Is it sad? Or both? This is unknown.

Third, it has the same influence on Cao Liu.

As equal heroes, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have many similarities although they are from different backgrounds. They all have quite distinct personalities, outstanding personal charm and extraordinary talents. More importantly, both of them are tolerant and generous, which is the fundamental reason why they have so many talents to take refuge in and loyalty to.

For example, Cao Cao once forgave Zhang Xiu for killing his eldest son, and the battle of Guandu burned the secret letters of his generals and Yuan Shao. And Liu Bei? After Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, he did not embarrass his courtier Mi Zhu, but remained the same. Knowing that my younger brother Mi Fang was the initiator of betraying Jingzhou. After the battle of Yiling, Liu Bei forgave Huang Quan who was forced to surrender to Cao Cao and treated his family well. How similar they are to the generosity of others.

At the same time, both Cao Cao and Liu Bei have the spirit of Do not forget your initiative mind, perseverance and repeated defeats. Everyone knows that Liu Bei's fate is bumpy, and he has repeatedly lost and fought. And Cao Cao, isn't it? Although Cao Cao had outstanding military ability, he suffered no fewer defeats than Liu Bei, and was almost killed by the enemy several times. But in the face of difficulties, both Cao Cao and Liu Bei have the spirit of never giving up and the determination to pursue their dreams.

When Liu Bei was a guest at Liu Biao's place, he was 47 years old and accomplished nothing. For ordinary people, it is very likely that they have already given up their dreams and lived a comfortable life of begging and living. And Liu Bei? But I still cry for my raw meat, and I am ashamed of my mediocrity. How can the indomitable Cao Cao and Liu Bei not make future generations respect?

However, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are different. Simply put, Cao Cao "monopolizes" and Liu Bei "monopolizes". In troubled times, Cao Cao took many drastic measures to rectify the world and killed many people. In Xuzhou, Cao Cao even slaughtered tens of thousands of people and crossed the river to vent his personal grievances. After the battle of Guandu, he brutally killed tens of thousands of captured Yuan soldiers. His heart is too cruel to resist. In the process of governance, Cao Cao advocated and emphasized the rule of law, and the people suffered heavy oppression. These are the fundamental reasons why Cao Cao is not liked.

But it can be predicted that slaughter and oppression are not Cao Cao's original intention, but a means, a means that has to be done in troubled times. Otherwise, how could Cao Cao write such a sad poem as "There are no crows in a thousand miles, and the bones are exposed in the wild"? When someone urged Cao Cao to move forward, he replied meaningfully: "If my destiny is in my hands, I want to be Zhou Wenwang." It can be said that in Cao Cao's mind, although he used overbearing means, in his mind, he was always trying to practice kingship. Until his death, he did not abolish the Han dynasty court in name only. Although he was cruel, at least he left a stable north, and the displaced and war-torn people finally got a chance to breathe again.

And Liu Bei? Although he is of royal blood, he can't hide his humble origins. But he always wanted to be a gentleman and become the emperor of Wang Zhidao. As he said when he saw the mulberry tree in front of his house when he was a child, "I want to build a car with this feather." In the process of conquering the world, Liu Bei has always treated everyone with kingliness and benevolence. Because Liu Bei is very clever, he knows that he has a low starting point and can't compare with Cao Cao, who is under great pressure.

Therefore, he is committed to winning people's hearts. When Cao Cao brutalizes the people, Liu Bei can attract them with benevolence, and the support of the people will be the foundation of his achievement of Emperor Wang Zhidao. Therefore, Liu Bei summed up his success and said: "I will be slow if I am anxious; Fight violence with violence, and I will be kind to people; Every time it is the opposite, you can get what you want. " With the support of the people, Liu Bei can feel like a duck to water wherever he goes. After Yang's defeat, as many as ten thousand people fled with Liu Bei, and their reputation reached this point.

In a word, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are like two sides of the same coin. They are essentially the same, but they behave in opposite ways. They revealed to us what a hero is with their own actions! End with Xin Jiaxuan's words!
