In history, Liu Bei has taken refuge in Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao six princes, and generally gets along with all the princes well.

【Gongsun Chan】

Gongsun Chan was Liu Bei's classmate, so after his gain of power, Liu Bei was the first to take refuge in him, Liu Bei was recommended as the Sima of the other department, and with his southern expedition to the north, then Gongsun Chan sent Liu Bei south to help Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai resist Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao.

In the process of fighting against Yuan Shao, Liu Bei made a lot of meritorious contributions, all the way to the Pingyuan County Commander, and then led the Pingyuan State Minister, at that time the geographical location of the Plains in Qingzhou was very critical, located in the west of Qingzhou directly at the junction of Jizhou, is the front line of Gongsun Zan and Tian Kai against Yuan Shao, but Liu Bei left after the Plains soon fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, and then Yuan Tan relied on the Plains to defeat Tian Kai and Kong Rong, and controlled Qingzhou.

【Tao Qian】

After Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian asked Tian Kai for help, when Tian Kai and Liu Bei went south together to support Tao Qian, after Cao Cao retreated, Tao Qian left Liu Bei in order to prevent his invasion again, and transferred his own pro-army 4,000 Dan Yang soldiers to him, and also listed Liu Bei as the assassin of Yuzhou. Liu Bei has since left Gongsun Zan and joined Tao Qian, and the garrison was in Xiaopei at that time.

In the first year of Xingping (194), Cao Cao went east again, when Liu Bei and Cao Bao, the general under Tao Qian, fought against Cao Cao in Tandong, and was defeated, and his army was broken by Cao Cao, but at this time, because of the civil strife in Yanzhou, Cao Cao had to retreat. Although Liu Bei was reused by Tao Qian, because of his limited military ability, he still failed to help Tao Qian successfully resist Cao Cao.

After Tao Qian was critically ill, he entrusted Xuzhou to Liu Bei.

【Lu Bu】

Xuzhou was Liu Bei's first territory, but he did not hold it in the end.

Liu Bei became the pastor of Xuzhou, the foothold was not stable, Yuan Shu sent a large army to crusade, hoping to take the opportunity to seize Xuzhou, Liu Bei in order to fight against Yuan Shu, personally went to the front line to fight with Yuan Shu, the two sides stalemate for a long time, and then Yuan Shu secretly communicated with Lu Bu, who had just attached to Liu Bei, Lu Bu sneaked up on Liu Bei's base camp Xiapi, resulting in Liu Bei's failure, and the down-and-out Liu Bei finally had to bow to Lu Bu.

After that, Liu Bei was relocated to Xiaopei by Lu Bu, but after Liu Bei slowly recovered, he was regarded as a threat by Lu Bu, and personally led the army to defeat and drive Liu Bei out.

Later, Cao Cao defeated Lü Bu, who was ready to take refuge in Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was executed because of Liu Bei's persuasion.

【Cao Cao】

After Liu Bei was driven out of Xuzhou, he went to Xuchang, which was the capital of the Han Dynasty at that time, where the Son of Heaven was, but was actually controlled by Cao Cao, so Liu Bei took refuge in Cao Cao.

At that time, Cao Cao was more important to Liu Bei, he not only appointed Liu Bei as the pastor of Yuzhou, but also funded military rations, increased soldiers and horses, and sent him east to contain Lu Bu. Later, Lü Bu betrayed the alliance between the imperial court and Yuan Shu, and sent Gao Shun to crusade against Liu Bei, and Cao Cao also sent Xiahoudun to support, but Gao Shun defeated Xiahoudun, and Peicheng, which Liu Bei guarded, was also defeated. Later, Cao Cao attacked Lü Bu, and Liu Bei followed him eastward.

But later Liu Bei was involved in the "Edict of the Cloth and Belt" incident, and was frightened by Cao Cao when discussing the heroes of the world with Cao Cao, so he made up his mind to betray Cao Cao, and later Liu Bei took advantage of the opportunity that Cao Cao sent him to intercept Yuan Shu to recapture Xuzhou. But he was defeated by Cao Cao, who came to crusade, and went north with Zhang Fei and others to take refuge with Yuan Shao.

【Yuan Shao】

After Liu Bei went north, Yuan Tan, the assassin of Qingzhou, greeted him personally, and Yuan Shao also left Yecheng for two hundred miles to wash the dust for Liu Bei, which can be seen that Yuan's value for Liu Bei, and then Yuan Shao went south to crusade against Cao Cao, and Liu Bei was one of the generals under his command.

Liu Bei's first battle was defeated, and his fellow cavalry general Wen Chou was killed, and Liu Bei retreated. Later, Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei to divide his troops to join Liu Bi, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, to jointly disturb Cao Cao's rear and threaten Xuchang.

After a long period of contact with Yuan Shao, Liu Bei may think that Yuan Shao cannot succeed, so he advised Yuan Shao to unite with Liu Biao, and hoped that he would go south, Yuan Shao thought it was reasonable, but he was unwilling to divide the army, Liu Bei took his subordinates to the Runan area of Yuzhou again, and united with the Yellow Turban Army Yu Dang Gong Du, and also defeated and killed the general Cai Yang sent by Cao Cao.

【Liu Biao】

After the end of the official crossing, Cao Cao then prepared to go south to get rid of Liu Bei, Liu Bei knew that he was invincible to Cao Cao, so he went south to join Liu Biao, and was used by Liu Biao as a new northern barrier, and later sent troops to defeat Cao Cao, but because of the lack of troops and retreated.

When Cao Cao was crusading against Wuheng, Liu Bei actively persuaded Liu Biao to go north, but Liu Biao did not agree, and as a result, he missed the opportunity. After Cao Cao marched south and invaded Jingzhou, Liu Bei was in Fancheng, ready to resist Cao Cao, but Liu Cong, who succeeded to the throne, surrendered without a fight, and Liu Bei broke away from Liu Biao's camp in Jingzhou.

【Summary of Wandering】

Although Liu Bei has sent people to the fence many times in his life, he has basically been reused, and Liu Bei has also reciprocated the favor, and most of them can do their duty to the sect master. When he was under Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei made a lot of meritorious contributions, and was later asked to leave by Tao Qian; When he was under Tao Qian, Liu Bei also did his best, but he was indeed not Cao Cao's opponent, and after Tao Qian's death, Liu Bei got Xuzhou; As one of the generals under Yuan Shao, Liu Bei had the same poor record as other generals of Yuan Shao, but at least he dared to go south twice to disturb Cao Cao's rear, and also broke Cai Yang, he was also sent by Yuan Shao where Liu Biao, so Liu Bei did not betray Yuan Shao; And for Liu Biao, Liu Bei is also interesting enough, a small number of troops can already defeat Xiahou Dan, and later persuaded Liu Biao to take the opportunity to go north, but Liu Biao himself did not agree, when Liu Cong surrendered, he did not even inform Liu Bei in time, Liu Bei could have taken Jingzhou at that time, but his fellow sect did not move.

Among them, only Lu Bu and Cao Cao are exceptions, Lu Bu has nothing to say, he was taken in by Liu Bei when he was in danger, but he rebelled against his benefactor, so it was too normal for Liu Bei to persuade Cao Cao to kill him.

And Cao Cao really has nothing to say about Liu Bei, he wants soldiers to soldiers, food to food, and the position of Yuzhou pastor is given to Liu Bei. But Liu Bei did not betray Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Liu Cong, or even Lu Bu, who was unrighteous to himself, and he betrayed Cao Cao alone, which is not without reason.

Liu Bei actually just made a choice between the Son of Heaven and Cao Cao, between the country and the benefactor. Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven and made the princes, it did benefit a lot, but it was not without harm, one of the obvious points is that some of those who took refuge in him were loyal to Cao Cao himself, and some were loyal to the Son of Heaven, and Liu Bei finally chose to help Dong Cheng, that is, to help the Son of Heaven deal with Cao Cao, in a sense, Liu Bei went to the court to take refuge in the Son of Heaven, not Cao Cao, so many people also took this opportunity to whitewash Liu Bei's betrayal, although this does not make sense emotionally, but it is okay from some truths, After all, Dayi was in the Han Xian Emperor at that time, and Cao Cao was only in the name of the Son of Heaven, not the real emperor.

Although Liu Bei and Lu Bu have taken refuge in many princes, Liu Bei treats people with sincerity and at least does his best if he can't do his best, while Lu Bu is completely self-centered, and Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Zhang Yang and Liu Bei and other princes and bigwigs who contacted him, were all pitted by Lu Bu very miserably, so Liu Bei can achieve the great cause of the emperor in the future, and Lu Bu can only die in despair, which is not without reason.

PS: This is the end of the wandering imperial uncle.
