In the first year of Jian 'an (A.D. 196), Cao Cao named Liu Bei as the general of Town East and appointed Yicheng Hou Ting. Yuan Shu led the army to attack Xuzhou, and Liu Bei met him. The two armies were at loggerheads in Xuyi and Huaiyin. At this time, Lu Bu attacked Xiapi.
When Liu Bei returned to the army, the army broke up halfway, but he took the rest of the army and took Guangling from the east. Defeated by Yuan Shu and transferred to Haixi, it was extremely difficult. He had to make rice paste in the East China Sea to help the army with his family wealth. So he asked Lu Bu for peace, and Lu Bu asked Liu Bei to station troops in Xiaopei. Later, Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling with 30,000 troops to attack Xiao Pei. Lu Bu also knew that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, so he used the "Yuanmen Shooting Ji" to make the two families stop fighting.
Soon, Liu Bei called up more than 10,000 troops again, and Lu Bu hated it, so he led an army to attack Xiao Pei. Liu Bei was defeated and went to Cao Cao in Xudu. Cao Cao showed that Liu Bei was herding sheep in Yuzhou, which benefited his soldiers and gave him food and grass to cultivate the land. Later, people called Liu Bei "Liu Yuzhou".
In the third year of Jian 'an (AD 198), Lu Bu sent Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to attack Liu Bei. Although Cao Cao sent Xia Houdun to save him, he was defeated. Peicheng was finally breached, and Liu Bei's wife was captured and fled alone. Liu Bei met Cao Cao in Liang, so he joined forces with Cao Cao to attack Lu Bu. After Lu Bu surrendered, Liu Beili advised Cao Cao to kill Lu Bu. Later, Liu Bei and Cao Cao returned to Xudu and were listed as left generals.
In the fourth year of Jian 'an (AD 199), Dong, a general riding a chariot, accepted the imperial edict of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei was afraid to join at first. Later, Cao Cao and Liu Bei talked about heroes by cooking wine. Cao Cao said to Liu Bei, "Today's heroes in the world are only kings and fuck their ears. At first, there were not enough people. " Liu Bei got a fright and dropped his chopsticks. After that, Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao could not tolerate himself, so he colluded with Dong Cheng and others.
At that time, Cao Cao sent Liu Bei and Zhu Ling to attack Yuan Shu together. Later, Liu Bei marched into Xiapi and killed Che Zhou, the secretariat of Xuzhou, leaving Guan Yu to guard Xiapi and be the prefect, but he was still young. In the East China Sea, Changyi and other counties and counties are mostly Liu Bei's, and Liu Bei has tens of thousands of soldiers, so he joined Yuan Shao against Cao Cao in the north. Cao Cao sent Guo Pei Liu Dai, a general with a long history, and Zhong Wang, a corps commander, to attack and was repelled by Liu Bei.
In the spring of the fifth year of Jian 'an (AD 200), a message happened. Cao Cao decided to personally crusade against Liu Bei. Although most generals in Cao Jun thought Yuan Shao was an enemy, Cao Cao thought Liu Bei was a hero and needed to go east first. Guo Jia also agreed with Cao Cao. Liu Bei was defeated and defected to Yuan Shao.
Extended data
Liu Bei has been wandering since he made his debut in Taoyuan Sanjieyi. There was no hope of stability until I took refuge in Tao Qian. Tao Qian is a good man. As soon as his son saw Liu Bei, a "generous and kind gentleman", he decided to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei. For the sake of his reputation, Liu Bei never accepted Tao Qian's advice. It was not until Tao Qian died that Liu Bei officially entered Xuzhou.
No one is happy that Liu Bei won Xuzhou. In Cao Cao's words: "You (Liu Bei) can sit in Xuzhou with half an arrow!" . But at this time, Cao Cao was fighting against Lu Bu and had no energy to seize Xuzhou. So Liu Bei can enjoy the "fruit".
How beautiful Liu Bei got Xuzhou! For him who is wandering around, it is undoubtedly a timely help. Unfortunately, Liu Bei didn't cherish it. It wasn't long before such a good piece of "fat" was taken away by Lu Bu.
In the battle of Dingtao, Lu Bu was beaten out of the water by Cao Cao, and there was nowhere to defect. I wanted to vote for Yuan Shao, but before the messenger arrived, Yuan Shao had mobilized troops to help Cao Cao kill Lu Bu. Helpless, Lu Bu had to vote for Liu Bei. Lu Bu's decision to vote for Liu Bei was made in a helpless situation. So he can't be sincere.
Zhang Fei also has a problem with Liu Bei's acceptance of Lu Bu. But Liu Bei was too careless to listen to their opinions. He went out of the city to meet Lu Bu and gave Xiao Pei to him. Liu Bei's purpose is clear. He wanted to buy Lu Bu for his own use by taking him in and welcoming him. I don't know how to look forward to "raising a tiger as a menace". In fact, Liu Bei took in Lu Bu, and if he could take precautions, Xuzhou would not have been lost.
Cao Cao issued a false imperial edict, asking Liu Bei to lead Xuzhou in herding animals, and then secretly ordered Liu Bei to kill Lu Bu. The purpose is to make Liu Lu "two tigers compete for food". Liu Bei knows all about Cao Cao's intentions. At this time, he should be vigilant to prevent accidents. But Cao Cao falsely ordered Liu Bei to pacify Yuan Shu, but he had to bite the bullet and carry it out, knowing that it was a ruse.
Well, even if you pretend, there is no need to go in person; Even if you go in person, you should leave the steady Guan Yu behind, not the impatient Zhang Fei in Xuzhou. However, everything was irretrievable because of Liu Bei's mistake.
When Xuzhou fell, Liu Bei could only wander again and cling to others until he borrowed Jingzhou. If Liu Bei defends Xuzhou well, develops production and strengthens troops, his career will definitely take off a few years earlier.
