At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the situation changed, and the Three Kingdoms stood together. Liu Bei, as a descendant of the Han family, is ambitious and domineering. However, due to two fatal shortcomings, he failed to take over the world.
Although Liu Bei has many talents, he cannot escape the fate of being less intelligent than ambitious. He has a limited level of education, and often acts impulsively, is not rational in many things, does not distinguish between public and private, and has no rules in political affairs. This became the biggest failure of his leader.
** believes that Liu Bei's primary shortcoming is that he attaches too much importance to affection and righteousness. For politicians, it is certainly an advantage to pay attention to affection, but if it is excessive, it will lead to reckless and impulsive decision-making, and eventually lead to the tragedy of failure. The reason why Liu Bei hesitated about Guan Yu and Mi Fang was because of his feelings. This excessive management of personal feelings became the fatal wound of his failure to succeed.
Secondly, Liu Bei lacks a sense of the overall situation and is difficult to distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions. At the moment when Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and the battle of Yiling, he failed to clearly understand the main contradiction between Wei Shu and Wei Wu. was too obsessed with revenge and insisted on launching the Battle of Yiling, which led to the annihilation of the Shu army, the vitality was greatly damaged, and it was difficult for the Shu Han regime to be revitalized.
Cao Cao occupied the north, Eastern Wu held on to the south of the Yangtze River, and Liu Bei's Shu Han could have taken advantage of the situation to hold Bashu and stand by. However, Liu Bei was unable to let go of his personal hatred and insisted on using force against Eastern Wu, which eventually caused Shu Han to lose the ability to unify the world.
After the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei regretted it too late. The White Emperor City was isolated by Zhuge Liang, and the Shu Han regime had fallen into an irreparable situation. ** Profoundly pointed out that Liu Bei failed precisely because his leadership skills failed to match his ambitions, and ultimately failed to live up to the great opportunity to unify the world.
Why did Liu Bei fail to seize the world?Because he attaches too much importance to affection and righteousness, is self-willed, lacks a sense of the overall situation, and cannot distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions. These two fatal shortcomings became the fundamental reasons for the fall of the Shu Han regime.
