Liu Bei took in Lu Bu, but why did Lu Bu bite the hand that feeds him?

Personality determines fate, and personality also determines a person's behavior and way of doing things. It is not unreasonable for Cao Cao to say that the only heroes in the world are Liu Bei and himself. Liu Bei was indeed a hero at that time, and at the same time, according to the description of the biography of the Three Kingdoms:

Without language, kindness and anger are invisible. It is easy for you to make friends with Hao Xia, and you will be attached when you are young.

Liu Bei is usually taciturn, kind to his servants, does not show his emotions easily, and likes to make friends with chivalrous people. Many young people are eager to join him and use him. Liu Bei's personality characteristics show that Liu Bei is a shrewd man who can control his emotions and express his views rationally at the same time.

Liu Bei

Why did Liu Bei take Lu Bu in?

At that time, Liu Bei took over Xuzhou from Tao Qian and became a shepherd in Xuzhou. At this time, Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao in Yanzhou for two years and fled to Xuzhou to ask Liu Bei to take him in. Xuzhou is in the east of Yanzhou, bordering on Yanzhou. Liu Bei went to Xuzhou because his predecessor Tao Qian was attacked by Cao Cao, and Tao Qian could not resist. So I turned to Gongsun Zan for help. Gongsun Zan sent Liu Bei to support Tao Qian, and Liu Bei himself became a shepherd in Xuzhou.

At that time, the biggest threat to Xuzhou came from two directions. One is Cao Cao who occupied Yanzhou in the west, and the other is Yuan Shu who occupied Huainan in the south. After Liu Bei became a shepherd in Xuzhou, Yuan Shu was the first to express his dissatisfaction and envy, so he sent his troops to attack Liu Bei, and Liu Bei led an army to prepare for Yuan Shu. Since Liu Bei has gone to war with Yuan Shu, based on the principle of not fighting on two fronts, Liu Bei certainly can't go to war with Cao Cao at the same time.

Now that Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao, he wanted to be taken in. If Liu Bei takes in Lu Bu, Lu Bu can resist Cao Cao in Xiaopei. If Liu Bei doesn't take Lu Bu in, then Lu Bu will be an enemy of Liu Bei or collude with Yuan Shu, which is unacceptable to Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei hated Lu Bu, the political situation forced him to take him in.

Liu Bei's original intention was to let Lyu3 bu4 stay in Xiaopei to resist the attack from Cao Cao in the west, and then Liu Bei worked hard against Yuan Shu himself. But what Liu Bei didn't expect was that Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou while fighting at the front, and suddenly Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou himself and took Liu Bei's city. Why did Lu Bu bite the hand that feeds him?

Lu bu has been wandering around since he escaped from Chang' an, and no one dares to take Lu bu in. Finally, for the purpose of balancing Cao Cao, Chen Gong welcomed Lu Bu to Yanzhou to fight Cao Cao, and Chen Gong also invited Lu Bu when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou. Only three cities in Yanzhou are still loyal to Cao Cao, which shows that Cao Cao's foundation in Yanzhou is not stable.

Lv Bu

Lu Bu turned out to be a rogue group with no fixed base. Chen Gong invited him to fight Cao Cao for two years, which was very difficult and was defeated. So Lu Bu had to flee to the east, and Xuzhou was in the east. The composition of Lu Bu's subordinates is actually very complicated. His own army is mainly the Bing army, plus the Yanzhou faction in Chen Gong. After being defeated by Cao Cao, both factions lost their base areas.

At present, the most important task for Lyu3 bu4 and Chen Gong is to find the base areas so as to make a comeback. If there is no base area, it is a rogue group. They often don't eat or wear. The influence of Lyu3 bu4, Chen Gong and others can fight Cao Cao for two years in Yanzhou, indicating that the influence of Lyu3 bu4 and Chen Gong is not weak, and there are tens of thousands of people in a few. Out of expediency, Lu Bu chose to take refuge in Liu Bei. After all, he can't be brave when he is defeated.

After choosing to take refuge in Liu Bei, Liu Bei asked Lu Bu to be stationed in Xiaopei, with a clear purpose, that is, to guard against Cao Cao from the west. If you attack Xuzhou Zhisuo from Yanzhou, Xiao Pei is the only way.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong

If Liu Bei didn't give Abu a chance, or an opportunity, then Lu Bu wouldn't dare to attack Xuzhou aboveboard. The trouble is that during Lu Bu's stay in Xiaopei, Liu Bei led Xuzhou's main force to confront Yuan Shu in Xuyi and Huaiyin, which led to emptiness in the rear. Only Zhang Fei and a few troops were stationed in Pi managed by Xuzhou. The reason why Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou was probably that he followed Chen Gong's plan, which was still a trick.

It is basically recorded that when Liu Bei led the army to confront Yuan Shu at the front, Lu Bu in the rear took advantage of the emptiness of Xiapi and attacked Xiapi. Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou Xiapi, and soon Hao Meng colluded with Yuan Shu and Chen Gong to attack Lu Bu. Thanks to the rescue of Seibel and Cao Xing, Lu Bu saved his life. Chen Gong and Hao Meng colluded with Yuan Shu to kill Lu Bu, so all this was Chen Gong's conspiracy, including Lu Bu's attack on Liu Bei's Xiapi.

The fundamental reason is that Chen Gong wants to take Xuzhou as his own, and Lu Bu is just one who has been encouraged. The reason behind the scenes is that when warlords scuffle, all forces want to grab a piece of their own territory. In those days, whoever was strong in arms was the overlord, and every different separatist force wanted to expand its territory and seize other people's territory, including Lu Bu, Chen Gong and others.

Lv Bu

Therefore, Lu Bu is not biting the hand that feeds him, nor can he say who is right or wrong. There's no reason to grab territory. In troubled times, the Force is the greatest. In order to survive, he had to seize other people's territory by force. Lu Bu and Chen Gong failed to defeat Cao Cao and snatched Yanzhou, so they had to attack the weak Liu Bei. After all, it is much easier than robbing Yanzhou.

Another important reason is that Liu Bei was too negligent and exposed his life to Lu Bu. If Liu Bei was heavily guarded and Lu Bu didn't have a chance to sneak up on Pi, then Lu Bu wouldn't have moved this idea, but in fact, when Liu Bei was fighting at the front, the rear was already very empty, which was equivalent to putting a piece of fat on the edge of the wolf's den. Do you think wolves won't eat meat? And Lu Bu is the wolf. The opportunity was in front of him. Chen Gong encouraged Lu Bu to attack Xuzhou. There's a chance. Why not sneak attack?

Liu Bei

After Lu Bu's successful sneak attack, Liu Bei was defeated and cornered. Liu Bei deserves to be a lean man. Although Lu Bu robbed Xuzhou and Liu Bei hated it, Liu Bei just suppressed his inner anger and chose the most rational and calm method: surrendering to Lu Bu. Lu Bu accepted Liu Bei's surrender for the same reason that Liu Bei accepted Lu Bu's refuge.

Lu Bu also wanted to put Liu Bei in Xiaopei to stop Cao Cao's army from advancing eastward, because Lu Bu couldn't beat Cao Cao in the Yanzhou War for two years, and now even Xuzhou can't beat Cao Cao. If Liu Bei is in front, it is very cost-effective for Lu Bu, and Lu Bu has no hatred for Liu Bei, so Lu Bu is willing to accept Liu Bei's surrender.
