China Historical Story: Who is the Hero?

Speaking of Liu Bei, you have to start from the beginning. He was originally descended from the royal family of the Han Dynasty. Throughout his life, his family has been poor. He had to make a living by weaving mats and selling straw sandals. Liu Bei has a way of dealing with people, and many people get along well with him. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in particular are very close to Liu Bei, just like brothers. When various places rose up to suppress the Yellow Scarf Army, Liu Bei gathered a group of people and wanted to take this opportunity to stand out. He went to Gongsun Zan first, and then to Xuzhou. Tao Qian, the secretariat of Xuzhou, gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei before he died. I didn't expect lyu3 bu4 to be so noisy. Not only Xuzhou belongs to Cao Cao, but Liu Bei himself has become a subordinate of Cao Cao. Liu Bei doesn't want to go on like this. When can I get ahead? But with so many troops in Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao was destroyed; He has no strength at all. What else can he do? Liu Bei felt that being with Cao Cao was not a taste, just like a bird in a cage. He was at a loss and had to find a chance to leave Xudu. Liu Bei was afraid that Cao Cao would see what was on his mind, so he opened up a plot to grow vegetables in the backyard of his residence. He is busy leveling the land, carrying water, sowing seeds and hoeing seedlings from morning till night every day, and doesn't ask questions about big and small things outside. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't understand what he meant. They said anxiously, "The world has not been settled yet, so we can't be so depressed!" " Liu smiled, listened to their nagging and said nothing. Every day from morning till night, Liu is busy leveling the land, carrying water, sowing seeds and hoeing seedlings.

On this day, Dong Cheng, the father-in-law of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, suddenly sent someone to invite Liu Bei. When they met, Dong Cheng quietly took out a personal letter from Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty and showed it to Liu Bei. It turned out that Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty was not satisfied with Cao Cao. He felt that Cao Cao was too authoritarian to treat him as an emperor, so he wrote this imperial edict and asked Dong Cheng to find a way to get rid of Cao Cao. He asked Dong Guiren to sew the imperial edict in his belt and give it to Dong Cheng. This is the "imperial edict with a belt". Dong Cheng read the imperial edict and secretly made an appointment with several good friends to find a way together. They think Liu Bei is very capable and the most reliable person in the Han family, so they want to bring him in. Liu Bei listened to Dong Cheng's story and agreed happily.

Soon after, one day, Liu Bei was busy carrying water and watering vegetables. Cao Cao's generals Chu Xu and Zhang Liao rushed in and said to him, "Cao Gong, please go quickly!" Liu Bei was taken aback and asked, "What's so important?" Two people said, "I don't know." Liu Bei had to bite the bullet and follow, trembling in his heart.

As soon as he entered the room, Cao Cao greeted him and said with a smile, "What you did at home!" Liu Bei turned pale with fear. Cao Cao didn't pay attention to this and said, "It's not easy to carry water to grow vegetables!" " Liu Bei was relieved and said with a smile, "Nothing, just for fun. It's so funny for you. " At this time, dark clouds began to rise in the sky. After a while, the wind blew. It's cloudy and rainy. Cao Cao asked people to set the table, sat down opposite Liu Bei, and chatted while eating. Chatting, Cao Cao suddenly asked Liu Bei, "Who do you think is a hero in the world today?" Liu Bei thought about it and said it was Yuan Shao. Cao Cao shook his head and disagreed. Yuan Shu and Cao Cao even disagreed; Liu Bei called the county leaders several times, but Cao Cao shook his head assiduously. Without saying anything, Liu Bei asked Cao Cao, "Who do you call a hero?" Cao Cao picked up his glass, stared at Liu Bei and said with a smile, "To be a hero, there are only you and me in the world today." Hearing this, Liu Bei gave a cold shiver involuntarily. When the hand shook, the chopsticks fell off. Cao Cao regards him as a hero, saying that there are only two heroes in the world, he and himself, not bad! As the saying goes, two men cannot coexist. Isn't it obvious that he is an opponent? Just then, a thunderbolt came. Liu Bei took this opportunity to bend down quickly, picked up chopsticks and said, "This thunder is so loud that it scared me!"! "! Tianwei is really amazing! "Say that finish, both of them laughed.

From here on, Liu Bei can't wait to leave Xudu immediately. As it happens, Cao Cao got a report that Yuan Shu and his party were preparing to go north and took refuge in Yuan Shao via Xuzhou. Cao Cao didn't want the two brothers to come together, so he wanted to send someone to intercept Yuan Shu. Hearing this, Liu Bei volunteered to do it Cao Cao agreed and sent two generals to go with Liu Bei.

It turns out that Yuan Shu became emperor in 197. However, his army was defeated by Cao Cao several times, and Sun Ce also said that he would come to punish him. Finally, all his people complained and ran nearly half the distance. Yuan Shu almost became a glamorous "emperor", which reminded him of his younger brother Yuan Shao. He left Shouchun with the rest of the troops and went to Hebei to find Yuan Shao. No sooner had I arrived near Xuzhou than I met Liu Bei's troops. Just when Yuan Shugang wanted to retreat, Liu Bei had ordered the soldiers to rush over and took a lot of property. Yuan Shuqi fell ill. He lay in bed, panting with grief. Finally, he shouted: "Alas, Uncle Yuan, Uncle Yuan, I didn't expect you to do this!" I vomited several more mouthfuls of blood and swallowed.

Liu Bei successfully stopped Yuan Shu and sent two generals sent by Cao Cao to report back to Xudu. He didn't go back. He, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went to Xuzhou and were tricked out by Shu soldiers and killed. So Xuzhou returned to Liu Bei's hands. Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to keep Pi, and he and Zhang Fei lived in Xiao Pi.

Unexpectedly, after a year, Zhao's story leaked out. Cao Cao executed Dong Cheng and Dong Guiren one by one. Knowing that Liu Bei was also Dong Cheng's accomplice, he personally led troops to fight Xuzhou. Liu Bei couldn't resist, and Xiao Pei was suddenly broken. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei rushed out of the city with their troops and let Cao Bing kill them. Liu Bei wants to find Zhang Fei, but where is Zhang Fei? A small piece of land that I managed to grab was lost again this time. He had to go to Yuan Shao alone.

Yuan Shao accepted Liu Bei and wanted to take this opportunity to send troops to conquer Cao Cao himself and pacify the world. Tian Feng, the counselor, opposed sending troops and said to Yuan Shao, "Cao Cao has just won the battle, and his troops are stronger than Ma Zhuang. You can't underestimate him. " Yuan Shao said, "I have more troops and horses than Cao Cao, and my territory is bigger than Cao Cao." I destroyed Gongsun Zan, let alone Cao Cao? "Tian Feng said anxiously," Cao Cao is not Gongsun Zan. He is always fighting. We can only accumulate strength for the time being and fight again when we are sure. If we compete with him only by quantity, if we lose, we will not regress. You must never do this. "Lombardi just doesn't like to hear people say that he can't, so Tian Feng got blue in the face with anger. He cursed Tian Feng for disturbing the morale of the army and sent him to prison.

Then, Yuan Shao had people write a long proclamation criticizing Cao Cao's crimes one by one. Then he sent Yan Liang, a general, to attack Baima City [in hua county, Henan Province], and followed him with thousands of troops.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Yan Liang's cavalry ran back and reported, "Oh, no! General Yan was killed! " Yuan Shao was in a hurry and immediately asked, "Come on, what's going on?" The cavalry said, "On that day, General Yan was directing everyone to fight in Baima City, and suddenly a general came behind, like a gust of wind. The man has a red face and a long beard. General Yan was cut down by others before he could parry. " Yuan Shao lost such a brave warrior as Yan Liang, and he was in tears with love. Liu Bei's heart was pounding. He heard that when Cao Cao captured Pi, Guan Yu surrendered to Cao Cao because he was alone. At the moment, Yuan Shao's cavalry said that it was the red face and beard that killed Yan Liang, not Guan Yu or who? Liu Bei did not believe that Guan Yu would really join Cao Cao. But now if Yuan Shao knows that Yan Liang was killed by Guan Yu, his situation will be too dangerous. The more he thinks about it, the more insecure he becomes. One day, suddenly a man came outside and said he wanted to see Liu Bei. When Liu Bei saw this man, he quickly stepped forward and said happily, "General Zhao Yun, why are you here!" Zhaoyun has also been under Gongsun Zan, and Liu Beiting is better. However, suspecting that Gongsun Zan had no ambition, he took the opportunity of his brother's death and returned to his hometown [south of Zhengding County, Hebei Province]. Now he heard that Liu Bei and Yuan Shao were here, so he came to see him. Liu Bei took Zhao Yun's hand and liked it so much that he didn't know where to start. In the evening, they slept together and talked until midnight. Bei said, "Yuan Shao has no definite opinion. His advisers look down on each other and don't get along. This is no place for us. It's so nice of you to come. While Yuan Shao doesn't pay much attention to you, you quietly recruit a few strong men so that we can make the next decision. " Zhao Xinran agreed. A few days later, he did attract hundreds of people and told Yuan Shao that these people were Liu Bei's generals. Yuan Shao really kept them in the dark.

A few days later, someone in Runan reported to Liu Bei: "General Guan and General Zhang have arrived in Runan, please go quickly!" Liu Bei was pleasantly surprised. He asked, "How did they get to Runan?" It turned out that, as Liu Bei estimated, Guan Yu did not really surrender to Cao Cao. He made up his mind that as long as he found out where Liu Bei was, he must go to him. Cao Cao knew that Guan Yu was a talented person and tried his best to retain him, making him a partial general and often giving him gifts. Guan Yu said, "General Liu and I are friends of life and death, and we must never deviate from him. I can't forget the benefits of Tsao Gong. As long as there is an opportunity, I will repay him and I will go again. " Before long, Yan Liang came to Macheng, and Cao Cao invited Guan Yu to play. Guan Yu wanted to make meritorious service to repay Cao Cao and agreed. I didn't know that Liu Bei and Yuan Shao were here until I killed Yan Liang. He left the gift from Cao Cao intact and left with his original relatives. On the way, he happened to meet Zhang Fei who was wandering around. They went to Runan together and decided to send someone to report to Liu Bei. When Liu Bei heard that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were missing, he wanted to find a chance to get away. He wanted to stop and went directly to Yuan Shao, pretending to be serious and saying, "Liu Biao, who is guarding Jingzhou, is fully armed and has enough food and grass; I was nice to you at first. If we can unite him against Cao Cao, we will not be defeated. " Yuan Shao said, "That's what I mean. I am afraid he won't. " Liu Bei quickly took the words and said, "I am from the same family as Liu Biao. I will tell him that he will not shirk it. " How can Yuan Shao know Liu Bei's mind when he returns home in a muddle? He stood up happily and said gratefully, "Great, great! Please work hard! "

Liu Bei was afraid that Yuan Shao would regret it again, so he said goodbye to Yuan Shao in a hurry and left with Zhao Yun and them overnight. When he arrived in Runan, Liu Bei met Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and talked about the situation after the separation of Xuzhou. At that time, counselors Sun Gan, Mi Zhu and Jian Yong also discovered here. Liu Bei's people have all arrived, but there is no room yet. We discussed it and decided to stay in Runan for a while. If Yuan Shao is defeated, they will go to Liu Biao.
