From a historical point of view, in fact, Liu Bei's Ji Han and Sun Quan's Eastern Wu were unjustifiable, and Wei was orthodox, because Cao Pi's throne was not seized but through formal channels, that is, Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, took the initiative to concede. Liu Bei has always been under the slogan of begging thieves, standing in Liu's point of view, but if Cao Pi did not claim the title of emperor and has been serving the Han Dynasty as emperor, what kind of situation would Liu Bei face?
Cao Pi was called emperor. Among Cao Cao's twenty-five sons, only Cao Ang, Cao Chong, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi were the most likely to inherit Cao Cao's title. Unfortunately, Cao Ang and Cao Chong died early, and in the end, only Cao Pi and Cao Zhi competed for the throne, and Cao Pi succeeded in winning the throne.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao died of illness, and Cao Pi officially ascended the throne as prime minister and king of Wei, and changed the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an to the first year of Yankang. In October of the same year, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty took the initiative to concede, and Cao Pi ascended the throne as emperor.
Liu Bei's reaction.
When the news of Cao Pi's ascension to the throne as emperor reached Sichuan and Shu, Liu Bei was deeply resentful. At the same time, there are rumors that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty has been killed by Cao Pi, but in fact, Liu Xie was named "Duke of Shanyang" and lived quite freely.
Under the unanimous suggestion of the ministers, Liu Bei officially ascended the throne as emperor in the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an. However, after Liu Bei became emperor, he did not immediately avenge Liu Xie, the emperor of Han Xian, but raised troops to attack Wu in the name of avenging Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. However, this action led to a crushing defeat in the Battle of Yiling.
Cao Pi is not called the emperor, how about Liu Bei?
Assuming that Cao Pi did not ascend the throne and became emperor, he still existed as the prime minister of Han and the king of Wei, and Liu Bei did not claim the title of emperor, but his ambition was still the same, and he would still chant the slogan of "reviving the Han Dynasty", and he would not share the sky with Wei.
As early as when Cao Cao was the prime minister, Liu Bei once denounced him as "named Hanchen, but he is actually a thief". There are endless reasons for starting a war in history, even if Cao Pi did not ascend the throne and became emperor, Liu Bei would launch a crusade in the name of "Qing Jun's side", but Cao Pi called the emperor and gave Liu Bei more excuses to correct it.
