In troubled times, heroes emerge in large numbers, but the cruelty of history often pushes people's fate to an irreparable abyss. As a generation of heroes during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei's way of employing people is highly respected, but at some critical moments, there are also some unexpected mistakes. Who did Liu Bei look at wrong? Let's dive in** together.
First of all, Liu Bei mislooked at his adopted son Liu Feng. When Guan Yu was killed, Liu Feng turned a deaf ear to Guan Yu's distress signal at the critical moment and did not give timely help. This move made Guan Yu fight alone, and finally suffered misfortune. As Liu Bei's righteous son, Liu Feng was supposed to be a brother and sister to Guan Yu, but he chose to ignore it for various reasons, resulting in heavy losses in the Shu Han army. Liu Bei's misjudgment of Liu Feng caused Shu Han to lose a loyal general, and also laid a hidden danger for the subsequent war.
Secondly, Liu Bei mistook his important minister Li Yan again. After Liu Bei's death, Li Yan's task of transporting grain and grass was repeatedly delayed, and he failed to support the Shu Han army fighting on the front line in time. Since grain and grass were the basis for the survival of the army, Li Yan's dereliction of duty directly affected Shu Han's military operations. Despite Zhuge Liang's repeated warnings to Li Yan, he remained indifferent, which eventually led to the retreat of the Shu Han army, laying the foundation for the decline of the Shu Han. Liu Bei's trust and reuse of Li Yan eventually became a major mistake he made.
In troubled times, everyone can become a witness to history, or they can become a victim of history. Liu Feng and Li Yan, as important figures around Liu Bei, were supposed to play an important role at a critical moment, but they deviated from the right path for various reasons, which eventually led to the decline and fall of Shu Han. Their stories teach us that in troubled times, good judgment and decision-making are crucial, and any one misstep can lead to catastrophic consequences.
Therefore, we should learn from history and choose our own path wisely. No matter when and where you are, you must stick to your original intention, move forward bravely, and not be troubled by short-term interests and selfish distractions. Only in this way can we be invincible in the troubled times and achieve a great cause.
