Liu Bei looked at the thatched house to seek talent, but accidentally missed a master, and Cao Cao benefited from it
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan are three-legged. The flames of war are raging, the lives are devastated, the clouds are thick, and the blood is flowing like rivers.
Missing out on the right talent can ruin long-held dreams.
During this turbulent period, Cao Cao, who was at the center of the dynasty, saw his growing power and secretly hoped to dominate the world. He has many good generals such as Xiahoudun and Zhang Liao, and is assisted by the strategist Guo Jia, which can be described as a wealth of talents. Cao Cao was determined to win, and he had long been planning his future as emperor.
He was proficient in the art of war and governed the country well. The people hated war and were willing to submit to Cao Cao in order to live a peaceful life. Cao Cao realized that in order to realize his long-cherished wish, he must first reassure the people, so he adopted a series of active peace policies. The people began to respect him, and his power grew.
At that time, Liu Bei, who was just a seller of straw sandals, refused to sell straw shoes in Jingzhou for the rest of his life because of his kindness. Liu Bei is warm and sincere, and the villagers like him very much. On weekdays, everyone likes to gather in front of Liu Bei's booth to chat and do homely work.
Liu Bei is the best at telling stories, and he tells the heroic stories in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" vividly, and everyone is fascinated by it. The audience often praised Liu Bei's sincerity and enthusiasm for his ability to achieve great things. By chance, he participated in the Yellow Turban Uprising and became acquainted with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei"。It is difficult to find a bosom friend, and you have to meet a lover"。Liu Bei was very happy to have two honest brothers, so he got along well with them and became their best friends. After knowing each other for a while, the three vowed to share weal and blight.
Liu Bei didn't want to do this, so he tried his best to exaggerate and invited celebrities everywhere to help him increase his strength. He knew that in this troubled world, it was not enough to rely on the three brothers alone. So, he began to make friends with people, using the strength of others to strengthen himself.
During this period, two people led by Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, attracted Liu Bei's attention: Liu Bei learned that they were talented and immediately visited Liu Biao's home.
Looking at the thatched house three times, a hurried goodbye is goodbye.
The road was far away, Liu Bei and his entourage slept in the open air, trekked through mountains and rivers, and went through a lot of hardships to reach Jingzhou. On the way, Liu Bei met two people, and he was very happy. He believed that these two men understood the meaning of justice and were interested in helping him achieve his long-cherished wish. This thought supported Liu Bei through a long and difficult journey.
However, before Liu Bei met Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, he met a suspicious person on the way - Cui Zhouping. Liu Bei wanted to see Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang so much that he mistook Cui Zhouping for Zhuge Liang!
Cui Zuping saw Liu Bei's intentions, was silent for a moment, and opened his mouth to persuade him not to be stubborn. Liu Bei didn't think about his intentions, so he hurriedly resigned and set out on the road. Cui Zhouping looked at Liu Bei's departing back and sighed. He guessed that Liu Bei must have experienced difficulties and setbacks before inviting Zhuge Liang. The circumstances of life are often unexpected, and it is difficult for Liu Bei to change his mind under repeated persuasion.
Goodbye from now on. Afterwards, Liu Bei recalled Cui Zhouping's earnest teachings many times and realized that he had missed a rare master! Liu Bei blamed himself very much, and he couldn't wait to keep Cui Zhouping by his side at that time. He blamed himself for being in a hurry at the time, and left without even figuring out Cui Zhouping's intentions. Obviously, Cui Zhouping's words were full of concern and affection, but he only cared about looking for Zhuge Liang's traces quickly. Because of this blind attachment, he lost the help that ultimately helped him grow into a great talent.
Cui Zuping was a very famous strategist at that time, and his talent was no less than Zhuge Liang. His talent is no worse than Zhuge Liang. He was of noble birth, well-connected, and far-sighted. He was of noble birth, had a wide range of contacts, and had a far-sighted vision, which was exactly the talent that Liu Bei needed at that time. If Liu Bei retained Cui Zuoping, he could unite with Zhuge Liang and Pang to rise in the Three Kingdoms, compete with Cao Cao, and even ally with Cao Cao to become emperor.
If you can't find the right talent, you may shatter your dreams.
It's a pity that Liu Bei only has Pang and Zhu in his eyes, so he kidnapped Cui Zhouping, a key figure in changing the order of the Three Kingdoms, many times.
Liu Beisan asked Zhuge Liang to go down the mountain. Since then, Liu Bei has used Zhuge Liang's strategy to win many battles. However, Liu Bei's fight against Cao is inseparable from Cui Zuoping's help. Liu Bei's team was blocked in Jingzhou, and he had to go south to Jiangdong to join Sun Quan. Together with Sun Quan, he fought against Cao Cao, but the battle ended in defeat.
Liu Bei looked at the river, his heart full of regret. His long-cherished wish to dominate the world has finally come to fruition, and he can never go back to the past. If Cui Zhouping had been left behind, maybe he could have rewritten the ending. With Cui Zhouping at the helm, he has more strength to reunite with Sun Quan. Cao Cao would never be as strong as he is now.
Cao Cao faced the same dilemma. He not only has fierce generals like Xiahoudun and Zhang Liao, but also has a strategist - Guo Jia. Guo Jia gave advice to Cao Cao and made Cao Cao emperor. Guo Jia's in-depth knowledge of military affairs, as well as his ability to find solutions when Cao Cao was in trouble, increased Cao Cao's internal and external prestige and strengthened his strength.
However, in 207 AD, Guo Jia died young, and Cao Cao lost his central figure. At the same time, Liu Bei persuaded Zhuge Liang. Guo Jia's death undoubtedly weakened Cao Cao's power, while Zhuge Liang's defection to Liu Bei strengthened Cao Cao's power. These two events changed the original balance of power and laid the foundation for the Triple Alliance.
It's too late to regret. Obsessions are hard to break.
Throughout his life, Liu Bei failed to realize his ambition to conquer the northern part of the Central Plains and dominate the world. Looking at the White Emperor Qiushui, he couldn't help but think of the advice Cui Zhouping gave him many years ago - don't be obsessed. He is really too persistent in this life to get to where he is today.
The most valuable thing in life is to make good connections, have more connections, and have more hope. If you don't miss Cui Zhouping, maybe Liu Bei's life trajectory will be completely different. Looking back and understanding the gains and losses, it is not in vain.
Liu Bei stood alone by the river, looking at the sparkling river, his heart full of remorse. He regretted his blind attachment back then, and someone advised him not to stick to small profits and small losses, but he said it. That year, he also met Cui Zhouping in Jingzhou, but he left in a hurry due to anxiety, and he could not forget the pain of not meeting his talents for the rest of his life.
Under Cui Zhouping's persuasion, Liu Bei finally understood the pain of life. Cui Zhouping** has a long-term vision, insight into the trend of the troubled times, and persuades Liu Bei not to be obsessed, Liu Bei should direct and act by himself, and finally bear the current failure.
If he could keep Cui Zhouping at that time, I am afraid that the status quo of the Three Kingdoms would have changed long ago. Regret it now, it's too late!
Liu Bei looked blankly into the distance, his heart full of endless melancholy and regret. His deep-seated ambitions and ideals have finally come true. He couldn't stop himself from falling into deep self-reproach and remorse, and he couldn't extricate himself for a long time...
