Lao Gao reads one of the essays of the Three Kingdoms [Why did Liu Biao accept Liu Bei]

I was thinking that when Liu Bei defected to Liu Biao, Cai Mao weighed the pros and cons on the side, and he had already made it clear why Liu Biao still accepted Liu Bei. Is it really Sun Gan's words that are so good? Or Liu Biao's reputation. ////

I can't see it all.

Liu Biao placed Liu Bei in Xinye. Where is Xinye? In fact, in Nanyang County, after the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao had occupied half of Nanyang County.

Let's look at the thirty-five chapters: Dan Fu Xinye meets the new master.

"But Cao Cao returned to Xudu from Jizhou and often wanted to take Jingzhou. He sent Cao Ren and Li Dian to surrender generals Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and others to lead 30,000 troops to Fancheng. When the tiger looked at Jingxiang, he looked at the truth and the truth."

This is the original saying of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The key is Fancheng. Where is Fancheng?

When we talk about Xiangfan now, it actually refers to the integration of Xiangyang and Fancheng. Open the map of the Three Kingdoms. Xiangyang is on the south bank of the Han River, Fancheng is on the north bank of the Han River, and the two cities are separated by the river.

The meaning of reading the book is that Fancheng has been occupied by Cao Cao.

And where is Xinye? It is actually surrounded by Cao Cao's forces in the north of Fancheng and south of Wancheng. It can be said that Xinye is an enclave of the Liu Biao forces in Jingzhou in Nanyang County.

Liu Biao actually placed Liu Bei under the heavy siege of Cao Cao's army.

Of course, Cao Cao might not have captured Fancheng in the sixth year of Jian'an, but Cao Cao's forces had already captured Wancheng at that time, and his troops were directed at Jingxiang.

If Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou and crossed the river to attack Xiangyang at night, Xiangyang would likely be attacked. In this case, a buffer force would be needed to station in Nanyang.

This buffering force turned out to be Zhang Xiu, which was one of the reasons why Liu Biao finally accepted Zhang Xiu's occupation of Nanyang. Liu Biao used Zhang Xiu as a buffer belt for his and Cao Cao, just like Lao Gao described it among the heroes in the world, and Yang Yuanqing specially left Dou Jiande as a buffer for the Sui Dynasty and Li Mi.

In the fourth year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu was destroyed, Cao's army was in danger of Jingzhou, and Liu Biao's buffering force disappeared.

At this time, Liu Biao urgently needed a new buffer force. In the sixth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei came to Jingzhou, which just met Liu Biao's demand.

If Cao Cao goes south, should he attack Liu Bei first or Liu Biao first?

Facts have proved that Cao Ren was stationed in Fancheng and did not attack Xiangyang on the other side. Instead, he went north to attack Liu Bei in Xinye, which proved that Liu Biao's strategy was completely successful.

Although Liu Bei could not resist the offensive of Cao Cao's army, he at least served as a warning function as a beacon tower, which could give Jingzhou time to dispatch troops.

Although Cai Mao had a good vision, he was not as far-scheming as Liu Biao. As soon as Liu Bei appeared, Liu Biao immediately thought of Liu Bei's buffering effect, which was also the reason why Liu Biao repeatedly tolerated Liu Bei as the hero.

However, Lao Luo did not write these things carefully. After all, the space is limited, readers need to savor it carefully. In Lao Gao's new book, the Three Kingdoms, these things must be written.
