Liu Bei went to Cao Cao's territory to visit the thatched houseIt's not reliable at all!
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan were the most important representatives of the Three Kingdoms period, founding the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu respectively. For the first time in history, our country has entered a three-legged state. Compared with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Liu Bei's entrepreneurship was the most difficult. It wasn't until after the Battle of Chibi that Liu Bei began to gradually have his own stable territory, and gradually developed and grew across Jingyi!And the person who planned for Liu Bei to divide the world into three points was the later Shu Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang!Liu Bei's first visit to Zhuge Liang was in the park at the end of 206, and Zhuge Liang officially appeared in 207 AD, Liu Bei went three times before inviting Zhuge Liang out!And Liu Bei is Zhuge Liang who is visiting Wollongong in Nanyang?Or Zhuge Liang who visited in Xiangyang Longzhong?So far, there are different opinions!Nanyang and Xiangyang also fought for this matter for 1800 years. So what is Liu Bei going to invite Zhuge Liang?Let's take a look!
In fact, logically speaking, Zhuge Liang should go to Xiangyang Longzhong!Because after Liu Bei's defeat in Xuzhou, he first defected to Yuan Shao in Hebei, then abandoned Yuan Shao before the Battle of Guandu, and then went south to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, which was in 201 AD. At that time, Liu Biao's ruling center in Jingzhou was in Xiangyang, and Liu Biao placed Liu Bei in the small city of Xinye north of Xiangyang, and Liu Bei's visit to Zhuge Liang was from the end of 206 AD to 207 AD. As early as 198 AD, two years before the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao incorporated Nanyang into his territory through two expeditions to Zhang Xiu, and Wollongong near Nanyang City was under Cao Cao's rule!It can be seen that the small city of Xinye where Liu Bei is stationed is the front line of the confrontation between Liu Biao and Cao Cao in Jingzhou!
I think that Liu Bei and Cao Cao fought together in the Central Plains and finally lost in Xuzhou, so they were given by Cao Cao. Later, he was driven by Cao Cao all the way and attached to Liu Biao!In 206 AD, the Nanyang region had been ruled by Cao Cao's forces for nearly a decade. Let Liu Bei take the risk of going to Nanyang Wollongong three times to seek talentObviously not very reliable;And Longzhong is 20 miles west of Xiangyang, the ruling center of Liu Biao, and Zhuge Liang's family relationship is mainly around Liu Biao, so Liu Bei went to Xiangyang Longzhong three times to seek talent, which is obviously safer and more reliable!
So all in all. The issue of Xiangyang and Nanyang, which has been debated for thousands of years, can be put to rest!How could Nanyang, a place ruled by Cao Cao for nearly 10 years, be used as a place for Liu Bei to visit Zhuge Liang?There is a high probability that Liu Bei will be arrested, not to mention three times!And it would be more reasonable for Liu Bei to go to Longzhong to ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain!After all, this is the territory of his boss Liu Biao. If Liu Bei asks Zhuge Liang 3 times and doesn't come out, even if he asks for 10 times, it will be safe!So on the whole, the place where Liu Bei went to ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain should be Xiangyang Longzhong!
