What is the relationship between Cao Cao and Liu Bei?

Competition: During the Three Kingdoms period, there were three pillars, with Cao Cao as the head of Wei and Liu Bei as the head of Shu.

1. Liu Bei

Liu Bei (161-June10,223), namely Emperor Zhaolie of Han Dynasty (reigned 22 1-223), was born in Zhuoxian County, Youzhou County (now Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province) at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, he was the founding emperor and politician of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms period. Historians call it the first master.

When Liu Bei was a teenager, he worshipped Lu Zhi as a teacher, and then took part in activities such as suppressing the Yellow Scarf Uprising and punishing Dong Zhuo. Because of his limited strength, Liu Bei was repeatedly defeated in the process of warlord melee, so he attached himself to many governors such as Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao.

However, because he always adheres to the code of conduct of serving people with virtue, he is respected by celebrities at home and abroad. Even Tao Qian, Liu Biao and others gave up their sons' inheritance right and chose to give their own sites Xuzhou and Jingzhou to Liu Bei.

After unremitting efforts, after Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei successively won Jingzhou and Yizhou, and established the Shu-Han regime.

2. Cao Cao

Cao Cao (158-0315,220), whose real name is Meng De, was born in Guopeiqiao County (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was an outstanding politician, strategist, writer and calligrapher. He was the founder of the Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Cao served as the prime minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was later named Wang Wei, which laid the foundation for the establishment of Cao Wei. After his death, posthumous title became King Wu. After his son Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, he was honored as Emperor Wu, with the temple name Taizu.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. In the name of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Cao Cao conquered all directions, wiped out the separatist forces such as Er Yuan, Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Ma Chao and Han Sui at home, surrendered the southern Xiongnu, Wu Huan and Xianbei abroad, and unified northern China.

The confrontation between Cao Cao and Liu Bei;

1. Battle of Hanzhong

The Battle of Hanzhong was a battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao for Hanzhong during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty. The commanders at war were Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Liu Beifang's war generals are mainly Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Fa Zheng and Huang Quan, while Cao's war generals are mainly Xia, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Cao Hong, Zhang He, Huang Xu and Guo Huai.

The Battle of Hanzhong lasted nearly two years from the 22nd year of Jian 'an (2 17) to the 20th year of Jian 'an (2 19) in May. Liu Bei was killed in Wulan, Tong Lei and Renkui. And Cao Cao were killed. In summer. So judging from the dead generals, Cao Cao lost a lot.

However, Liu Beifang's front-line forces are insufficient, and it has reached the point where men are outside and women are inside. Obviously, during the war, Liu Beifang was not very optimistic.

The battle of Hanzhong ended with Liu Bei's victory. In July, Liu Bei became the king of Hanzhong. After Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong, he sent Liu Feng and Meng Da to take three eastern counties (Weixin, Shang Yong and Xincheng).

2. The Battle of Xuzhou

In the battle of Xuzhou, it is said that Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty took Jian 'an for five years (200 years). At the beginning of the battle of Guandu, Cao personally conquered the battle of Liu Bei, the former secretariat of Yuzhou, in Xuzhou (now northwest of Suining, Jiangsu).

In December of the fourth year of Jian 'an, when Cao Cao was deployed in Jizhou to crusade against Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, who originally belonged to Cao Cao, attacked Che Zhou, the secretariat of Xuzhou, and defeated Liu and Sima Changshi sent by Cao Cao to crusade. According to Xuzhou, Xiapi (now northwest of Suining, Jiangsu) and other places, they betrayed Cao Cao and responded to Yuan Shao.

In the first month of May, General Dong Cheng's plan to assassinate Cao Cao was leaked, and Dong Cheng, Wang Fu and Zhong You were all slaughtered. Only Liu Bei, who participated in the conspiracy, escaped and became stronger and stronger. Cao Cao wanted to conquer Liu Bei himself, so the ministers were worried that Yuan Shao would attack him from behind.

Guo Jia, the counselor, thinks that Yuan Shao is dull and suspicious and will not attack immediately. Liu Beixin, no one is attached. It's time to attack quickly and beat him. In order to cut off future troubles, Cao Cao led an army to crusade against Liu Bei. Jizhou don't drive Tian Feng to persuade Yuan Shao to attack the rear of Cao Cao. Yuan Shao refused to send troops on the grounds that his young son was seriously ill.

Liu Bei was shocked to learn that Cao Cao's army was approaching, and led dozens of people out of the city to observe. Sure enough, he saw the standard of Cao Jun, so he had to fight in a hurry, defeated by Cao Jun, and Liu Bei's wife was captured. Then Cao Cao captured Pi, drove away Guan Yu, Liu Bei's general, and captured Pi, Liu Bei's long history.

Liu Bei fled to Yecheng (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei Province) and defected to Yuan Shao. He gradually gathered the scattered beaten army and became the force of Yuan Shao's massive attack on Cao.

In this battle, Cao Cao quickly defeated Liu Bei, avoiding the situation of fighting on both sides in the battle of Guandu.
