Guan Yu, as the chief general in charge of Jingzhou, has no doubt that he has to bear direct responsibility for the fall of Jingzhou, but in addition to Guan Yu, what role should Liu Bei, the boss in Chengdu, Yizhou, assume in this matter? The black cauldron of the fall of Jingzhou, does it have Liu Bei's share?

【Guan Yu's responsibility】

Guan Yu took advantage of Cao Ren's unreadiness in the early stage to defeat him, which has been analyzed before, although Guan Yu did not achieve the best results, but the record was also quite brilliant, and more than 30,000 prisoners were captured alone.

But then Guan Yu had a problem, Cao Ren was stubbornly defending Fancheng after the flood, Guan Yu failed to conquer it at the first time, at this time Guan Yu's possibility of defeating Fancheng has been greatly reduced, after all, his foundation is too weak, the power that can be used is insufficient, and there is not enough support in the later stage, on the contrary, Cao Cao almost spared no cost in order to rescue Cao Ren, and later Cao Cao took the initiative to leak the news to Guan Yu Sun Quan to send troops, but Guan Yu was still unwilling to withdraw from the army, believing in his previous judgment of Sun Quan, Lu Xun and others, And I didn't realize that I had been fooled.

Guan Yu's arrogance eventually harmed himself, and also made Jingzhou fall into the hands of the enemy, and Guan Yu undoubtedly had to bear the first responsibility for the fall of Jingzhou.

[Liu Bei's responsibility? 】

Liu Bei's most intuitive responsibility for Guan Yu's defeat and death and the fall of Jingzhou has two points, the first is to constantly weaken Guan Yu's power in Jingzhou, and did not strengthen Jingzhou's strength much, resulting in Guan Yu not having enough strength to eat Xiangfan; The second is that Guan Yu was not given timely support, and he may not even have sent reinforcements to Guan Yu at all.

But after careful analysis, Liu Bei really can't be blamed for these two points.

In history, Liu Bei didn't want to strengthen Jingzhou's power, but he couldn't do it. Compared with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Liu Bei lost Xuzhou in his early years, so the development of power itself was late, and the initial strength was weak, and he needed to give priority to the development of himself.

In the Xiangfan battle situation, Liu Bei failed to have effective support for Cao Ren like Cao Cao, mainly because of the delay, Guan Yu had a considerable distance between Liu Bei in Chengdu on the Xiangfan front, the distance difference led to the time difference, the time difference led to the information difference, and the information difference caused Liu Bei to be unable to rescue Guan Yu in time.

However, at the beginning, Cao Cao sent Yu Ban in order to help Cao Ren, and later went south from Luoyang to organize rescue near the front line, while Liu Bei stayed in Chengdu far away from Fancheng and Xiangyang from beginning to end, which makes people feel not very good, but this is also human nature, after all, it was not Cao Ren who beat Guan Yu, but Guan Yu who abused Cao Ren.

So Liu Bei didn't fail to rescue Guan Yu, in the early stage of the war, Guan Yu was victorious, it is likely that Guan Yu did not ask Liu Bei for help, and when Sun Quan sent troops in the later period, Liu Bei was too late to rescue.

However, this does not mean that the black cauldron of the fall of Jingzhou does not have to be carried by the emperor, on the contrary, the root of the fall of Jingzhou is on Liu Bei.

You must know that although Guan Yu's strength is insufficient in the end, but Xu Huang's words alone can't kill Guan Yu, and he can't take Jingzhou, Sun Quan's troops are the main reason for Guan Yu's death and the fall of Jingzhou, and the reason why Sun Quan sent troops is that in addition to having a direct reason with Guan Yu, Liu Bei doesn't matter!

Earlier, when Liu Bei's strength was weak, he attached great importance to Sun Quan's ally, before the Battle of Chibi, he personally went to see Zhou Yu, and when he borrowed Jiangling, he went to Jingkou to ask Sun Quan, and after borrowing to Nanjun, Liu Bei first secretly prevented Sun Quan from seizing Yizhou, but he robbed the territory of Liu Zhang, the same sect, when Sun Quan asked Liu Bei to return Jingzhou, Liu Bei also occupied it, and finally if it wasn't for Cao Cao's pressure, Liu Bei almost went to war with Sun Quan.

It can be said that Liu Bei's attitude towards Sun Quan is completely different, and Guan Yu's attitude towards Sun Quan in the later period is not Liu Bei's attitude towards Sun Quan.

If Liu Bei really valued Sun Quan as an ally, he should take into account Sun Quan's feelings, but Liu Bei did not do this. This is also understandable, because at the beginning Liu Bei urgently needed Sun Quan's help, so of course Liu Bei had to tie up Sun Quan, and then Liu Bei's wings were stiff, and he didn't need Sun Quan's help anymore, so he naturally threw Sun Quan's ally aside, but Liu Bei did this, Sun Quan was all in his eyes, what do you think Sun Quan would think.

However, the reason why Liu Bei's attitude towards Sun Quan changed in the later period was also related to the direct impression left by Sun Quan and the Sun family. In history, the emperor and the Sun family had two close contacts, and Liu Bei left a very bad impression on both occasions.

One is that when Liu Bei borrowed Nanjun, he went directly to Jiangdong to meet Sun Quan and others, and when Sun Quan saw Liu Bei coming, the first thing he considered was not whether to borrow Jiangling, but whether he should take the opportunity to detain Liu Bei, which is equivalent to Liu Bei A big sheep went to the wolf's den, how could Liu Bei feel good after he came out, and he would naturally be dissatisfied with Sun Quan.

However, Liu Bei, as the head of a country, is a very reckless act in itself, he is like a bewitching beauty walking in front of an energetic strong man, can he blame others for being lustful for this?

The second is the marriage of Sun Liu, from all aspects, this marriage is a very failure, Mrs. Sun's performance is extremely bad, and Sun Quan did choose the wrong person in this matter.

Later, Sun Quan sent troops to seize Jingzhou again, it was not without warning, earlier Sun Quan had already taken his sister Mrs. Sun back, and later sent Lu Meng to send troops to seize the three southern counties of Jingzhou, and then Sun Quan sent an envoy to Cao Cao to sue for peace, these Liu Bei could not have known, but how did Liu Bei do it? blindly connived at Guan Yu to offend Sun Quan, Guan Yu first directly refused Sun Quan's remarriage, and scolded Sun Quan's envoy, Liu Bei did not say it, and then Guan Yu directly forcibly occupied Sun Quan's military rations, and Liu Bei did not say it.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others treated Sun Quan like this, why did Sun Quan beat others with a smiley face?

Maybe Sun Quan's proposal to jointly attack Yizhou and marry Guan Yu also had his own plans and bad intentions, but Sun Quan at least did enough superficial articles, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu's eating appearance was a little ugly, even though Liu Bei didn't like Sun Quan, but there are some things you don't want to do doesn't mean you can't do it.

As the boss of the Shuhan Group, Liu Bei has an unshirkable responsibility in the fall of Jingzhou.
