Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bei's own ability is relatively inferior, which is more prominent in the military aspect, but although Liu Bei's military ability is not strong, he directly participates in many large and small wars, and among the princes, his overall number of times is basically only second to Cao Cao in the entire Three Kingdoms era.

And from the perspective of statistics, Liu Bei, with the help of his right-hand man, has no obvious gap between his military victory rate and Cao Cao.

[Liu Bei, who lost more than won less]

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Bei fought in the army, successively from Zou Jing, Biqiu Yishu had military exploits, and then also served as Gao Tang Lieutenant, Gao Tang Ling and other positions, after Gaotang County was broken by thieves, Liu Bei took refuge in his classmate Gongsun Zhan, and was listed as Sima of other departments, that is to say, Liu Bei even in the face of civilian thieves has a record of thieves breaking the city.

Liu Bei was not very good in his wandering career, and most of the battles were defeated.

After returning to Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei was sent to help Tiankai, the assassin of Qingzhou, against Yuan Shao, and was promoted to the prime minister of the plains for his merits. During this period, Liu Bei also participated in a lot of battles, not only supporting Kong Rong to defeat the besieging thieves, but also joining forces with Tian Kai, Tao Qian and others to fight against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but lost.

After Liu Bei was dug up by Tao Qian to Xuzhou, he joined forces with Cao Bao to fight against Cao Cao in Tandong, but was defeated and retreated, and later Xuzhou almost fell. After Tao Qian's death, Liu Bei inherited Xuzhou, Yuan Shu took advantage of Liu Bei's unstable foothold to move north, the two sides held each other in Xuyi and Huaiyin, and as a result, Yuan Shu secretly colluded with Lu Bu, Liu Bei lost his base and lost to Yuan Shu in Guangling. One said that during this period, Liu Bei eliminated Yang Feng, Han Xian and others.

After Liu Bei was forced to succumb to Lü Bu, Yuan Shu sent the general Ji Ling to attack, or Lü Bu helped him reconcile, and after Liu Bei's troops recovered to more than 10,000, Lü Bu was afraid and personally sent troops to expel Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei came to Xuchang, he belonged to Cao Cao, with the help of Cao Cao, Liu Bei returned to Yuzhou, monitored Lu Bu, after Lu Bu reunited with Yuan Shu, sent Gao Shun to surround Liu Bei, and also defeated Xiahou Dun who came to help, Liu Bei was defeated by Gao Shun, he fled back and participated in Cao Cao's expedition against Lu Bu into the operation, after Lu Bu was captured, Cao Cao executed him at the suggestion of Liu Bei and others. Later, Liu Bei rebelled and recaptured Xuzhou, but was unexpectedly defeated by Cao Cao, so he went north to take refuge in Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei followed Yuan Shao south to participate in the crusade against Cao Cao, and there are three main records of his battles, the first time was that Wen Chou and Liu Bei led the cavalry to attack together, but they were almost annihilated by Cao Cao, Wen Chou died in battle, and Liu Bei escaped; The second time was when Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei south and the Yellow Turban thief Liu Pi to jointly disrupt Cao Cao's rear, but was defeated by Cao Ren; The third time was when Liu Bei went south alone, joined Gong Du and others, and killed Cai Yang, the general sent by Cao Cao, but after Yuan Shao's complete defeat at Guandu, Cao Cao intended to go south to crusade against Liu Bei, but Liu Bei took refuge in Liu Biao one step ahead.

Liu Bei fought a lot in Jingzhou, but he didn't fight much under Liu Biao, and there was only a Northern Expedition at the beginning of Liu Bei's refuge, and Liu Bei set up an ambush in this battle to ambush Xiahoudun, and overall he was quite meritorious. After Liu Cong surrendered, Liu Bei was caught up by Cao Cao in Dangyang because of his slow speed, and he was defeated, and reluctantly fled to Xiakou with Zhuge Liang and others.

After Liu Bei allied with Sun Quan, it was relatively smooth compared to the previous stage, and there were many more powerful helpers around him, and the victory rate of the battle also increased a lot.

After the first battle of the Sun-Liu alliance is the well-known Battle of Chibi, after this battle, Zhou Yu and Liu Bei and others made persistent efforts, launched the Battle of Jiangling, and captured most of the territory of Nanjun, after gaining a firm foothold, Liu Bei marched south, and also occupied the four counties of Jingnan.

After Liu Bei stood firm in Jingzhou, he put his hand into Yizhou, and after he broke with Liu Zhang, he went all the way south, conquering Fucheng, capturing Mianzhu, besieging Keluocheng, and finally besieging Chengdu, forcing Liu Zhang to surrender.

After demarcating the boundary with Sun Quan Xiangshui, Liu Bei went north to seize Hanzhong under the persuasion of Fa Zheng and others, and killed Xiahou Yuan under his command Huang Zhong in the battle of Dingjun Mountain. The last battle in Liu Bei's life was the Battle of Yiling, in which Liu Bei was beaten by Lu Xun and suffered heavy losses, so he suffered a lot of irritation, and finally died of illness in the White Emperor City.

【Before and After Comparison】

Compared with the early stage, Liu Bei's victory rate in the later period has been greatly improved, and the battle of Chibi, the battle of Jiangling, the southern expedition to Jingnan, the crusade against Yizhou, and the northern expedition to Hanzhong have basically achieved victory, and the only ones that have lost are the battle of Dangyang and the battle of Yiling.

However, I personally don't think this is because Liu Bei's military ability has been improved in the later period, I think the main reason for this change is that Liu Bei got a powerful helper, which is most obvious in the strategists, in the later period Liu Bei got the help of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng three first-class and even top strategists, Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei in the battle of Chibi, Jiangling and the southern expedition to Jingnan, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng gave advice to Liu Bei when they captured Yizhou, and Fa Zheng was still Liu Bei's military advisor to capture Hanzhong.

This point was completely devoid of this treatment for Liu Bei in the early stage, although Chen Deng's father and son, Chen Qun and others were not bad when he was in Yuzhou and Xuzhou, but none of these people had any record of going to war with Liu Bei, so they failed to help Liu Bei militarily. Later, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng died successively, Zhuge Liang sat in the rear, and Liu Bei was directly beaten back to the prototype in the Battle of Yiling, which shows the importance of these powerful strategists to Liu Bei.

With the help of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and others, Liu Bei's victory rate in battle is not much different from Cao Cao's, so the gap between the two in military affairs, personal simple military ability is only one aspect, and this gap in terms of strategists may be more important.

【Escape Master】

Liu Bei has participated in countless big battles and small battles in his life, and the number of defeats is quite a lot, but Liu Bei lived well to be more than sixty years old, and died of illness after the founding of the emperor, and did not die on the battlefield like ordinary generals.

Whether it is a defensive battle or an encounter battle, a frontal battle, a chase battle, no matter what kind of danger, the emperor uncle with a big life can run away.

Earlier, Liu Bei guarded Gaotang County, and thieves broke the city, and Liu Bei successfully escaped; Later, he was defeated by Cao Cao in Tandong, Xuzhou, and successfully retreated; After Gao Shun broke through Peicheng, Liu Bei also successfully escaped; Before and after the Battle of Guandu, Liu Bei ran three or four times, Guan Yu was arrested, Wen Chou was killed, Cao Cao and Cao Ren did not catch Liu Bei; Later, Dangyang was defeated, and Liu Bei also ran away, and after that, Cao Cao never seized Liu Bei's opportunity; In the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei's army was almost wiped out, but Liu Bei still fled back to the White Emperor City safely.

I have to say that Liu Bei has more or less the aura of the protagonist in the Three Kingdoms era, and he really can't die.
