In 214 AD, the Cao Wei Emperor Cao Rong sent the general Sima Yi to lead an army into Sichuan to defeat Liu Bei's Shu Han. Seeing that the army was about to be surrounded by enemy troops, Liu Bei's face was solemn, and he knew that if there was no new strategy, Shu Han would perish.
At this time, he received a piece of information - according to reliable information, Cao Cao intended to marry his daughter to Liu Bei's concubine Liu Chan, and then firmly control the land of Sichuan and Shu.
This news aroused Liu Bei's spirit of resistance. He believed that his army must have its own territory in Chuanzhisuo, and could not tolerate any interference from Cao Wei.
So he ordered his important ministers Guan Yu and General Zhang Fei to lead troops to defend Bashu, and he himself led his army to attack Cao Wei's Guanzhong.
On the way, Liu Bei was extremely cautious and did not dare to be careless, every military decision was carefully considered, and he was afraid that any small mistake would lead to ashes.
During the capture of Guanzhong, Liu Bei was fascinated by a poem called "Chen Qing Biao", which meant to express his enthusiasm and loyalty to the people in the world;
He surrendered the poem to Zhuge Liang, a Cao Wei strategist who was captured by him. After a long period of reasoning, Zhuge Liang became one of Liu Bei's right-hand men.
When Liu Bei captured Qincheng, he and Zhuge Liang worked together to formulate a strategy called "Seven Captures and Seven Verticals". This strategy allowed him to attract his calculating princes to his forces in various campaigns by capturing prisoners and granting them freedom.
Soon, famous generals such as Cen Duan, Huang Quan, Gao Pei, Li Hui, Ouyang Chun, Deng Xian and Zhang Ren were returned by him one by one, and Zhao'an joined his own forces, which strengthened Liu Bei's power.
However, after capturing Chengdu, he regrettably missed a chance to win because of a wrong decision to kill.
During a tour, Liu Bei encountered a general named Ma Zhong, and after some conversation, the two seemed to gradually become bosom friends. Unexpectedly, Ma Zhong betrayed him at a critical time and led the army **Liu Bei's army.
In the heat of battle, Liu Bei severed Ma Zhong's left arm, hoping to force him to surrender. Unexpectedly, this made Ma Zhong so angry that he pounced on Liu Bei, and at the same moment that he killed him, Liu Bei realized his mistake.
This murder caused Liu Bei to miss an opportunity to win. Legend has it that if Liu Bei had not killed Ma Zhong but had left him alive and remained loyal, he would most likely have succeeded in unifying the Three Kingdoms.
Because Ma Zhong had already become a member of the pro-Cao faction at that time, if he stayed alive, he might become Liu Bei's passage or even a bridge. It's a pity that Liu Bei's mistake made him miss a great opportunity.
After that, Liu Bei continued to consolidate and expand his power, striving to expel the power of Cao Wei, he proclaimed himself emperor in Wugong Mountain, and established the Shu Han Dynasty. But he also often recalled his mistakes and deeply regretted them.
Liu Bei was not only a valiant general, but also a cautious and kind person. Throughout his life, he adhered to his beliefs, had the courage to explore, and was faithful to his beliefs, striving to build a harmonious, equal and just society.
He always has a self-reproaching and repentant attitude towards mistakes and failures, which is also one of the keys to his success.
Liu Bei killed one person by mistake and lost one side by eating the fruit. Although this sentence is just a simple proverb, it also shows the situation Liu Bei is in.
He occupies a very high position, but he is always vigilant and humble, knowing that success does not bring real success and value, and upholding the spirit of "a hundred years of dreams, Confucian worries", and strive to promote social progress and improve people's livelihood.
Today, we can still draw some life philosophy and wisdom from Liu Bei's historical stories. His repentance and reflection tell us that mistakes are not terrible, but what is terrible is to repeat mistakes without correcting them.
His prudence and integrity remind us to be cautious in everything we do and to do what is right. His perseverance and wisdom inspire us to maintain faith in the face of setbacks and difficulties, and use wisdom to expand and innovate.
As a great figure in the Three Kingdoms era, Liu Bei's life story is not only a legend in history, but also a reality with profound enlightenment in addition to birth, old age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows.
His wrongful killing of one person has become the regret of his life, and it also makes us deeply feel the twists and turns and unpredictability of life's journey, and once again reminds us to cherish the happiness in front of us and fully prepare for the future.
