Come to think of it, the fact that Xiahoudun was shot in the eye is well known. However, his eyes were not injured by Cao Xing. According to the record of "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms": "Taizu returned from Xuzhou, and he followed the expedition to Lu Bu. It was hit by a stray arrow, and it injured his left eye. "Obviously, Xiahoudun's eye was injured by a stray arrow during the Battle of Yanzhou. suddenly discovered that although Cao Cao had made some achievements in his life, the price he paid was really not small, especially the people around him, who were either dead or disabled.

In 195 AD, in the fifth month of the leap month, Lü Bu and Chen Gong set out from Dongyi (pronounced "Min") and led an army to attack Cao Cao. This battle was the last well-described battle of the Battle of Yanzhou, and ended in a crushing defeat for Lü Bu. "Zizhi Tongjian" said: "Bufu and Chen Gong from the east of the army will more than 10,000 people to fight, the drill soldiers are out to harvest wheat, there can be no thousands of people, the camp is not solid. There is a big embankment in the west of Tunxi, the trees in the south are deep, and the embankment is hidden, and the embankment is half outside; Bu Yijin is to make the light soldiers challenge, and when they meet, the ambush soldiers are all on the embankment, riding on foot and pressing, breaking it, forcing it to return to its camp. ”

This account is untrue, according to the record of the Book of Wei: "So the soldiers all went out to get wheat, and there were not thousands of people there, and the camp was not solid." Taizu ordered the woman to guard the throne, but the soldiers refused. There is a large embankment in the west of Tunxi, and the trees in its south are deep. If you are suspicious, you will say: 'Cao Cao is too much, don't go into the ambush.' 'Lead the army to the south of Tun for more than ten miles. Coming back tomorrow, Taizu will hide in the embankment and go out of the embankment. Bu Yijin, is to make the light soldiers challenge, both together, the ambush soldiers are all on the embankment, foot and cavalry marching together, breaking it, get its drum car, chase to its camp and return. ”

It can be seen from the narrative of the Book of Wei that Lü Bu was not sure whether Cao Cao had set up an ambush, so he observed the situation for more than ten miles in Nantun and waited until the next day to challenge. Although most of Cao Cao's soldiers went out to harvest wheat, only a thousand people could beat Lu Bu's more than 10,000 people into a mess and flee, which is probably not credulous for a person who understands military affairs. If Cao Cao had such ability, he would have leveled Lu Bu a long time ago, so why would he have to bump and bump for a year or two. Cao Bing, who thought that he had gone out to harvest wheat, came back, taking into account Yuan Shao's plan to copy his grain from the back road, and Lu Bu would withdraw to the camp if he was weak.

The two armies confronted each other, fighting for wits and courage, and Lu Bu's army had always been known for its fierceness, how could it be defeated by an enemy soldier who was ten times weaker?

After returning to the camp, Lü Bu evacuated that night. Seeing that he withdrew in such a hurry, either the grain route was cut off, or something happened in the rear, otherwise it would not have been possible to retreat so suddenly.

It is recorded in the Zizhi Tongjian that after Lü Bu retreated from Puyang, he led his army to Chengshi County (57 li southwest of present-day Juye County, Shandong), but was repulsed by Li Jin, and then retreated east to Shanyang. In fact, this is another narrative technique that wants to cover up.

Because the army ran out, Lü Bu was forced to withdraw from Puyang and led his army to retreat to Chengshi County, which was 150 miles away. At this time, Li Jin was probably the general in the city of Chengshi, so he suddenly defected, and led his troops to resist and did not let Lu Bu's army enter the city. Lu Bu and his group traveled more than 150 miles without eating or drinking, and the people were tired and tired, and they were inevitably a little powerless in the unprepared situation. Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Bu's army has no food, even if he can win a head-to-head confrontation, it is impossible to spend it here with the other party at this time, because there are still a large number of pursuers behind. So, to put it bluntly, Li Jin just picked up a bargain.

Later, Cao Cao captured Dingtao and divided his troops to pacify the counties. Lu Bu led the crowd east to Xuzhou, and Zhang Miao asked Zhang Chao to lead his family to retreat to Yongqiu and go with Lu Bu. However, he said that after Lu Bu and Cao Cao were opposed, they could be regarded as belonging to the same camp as Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, and Gongsun Zhan, so Lu Bu would go to Liu Bei. There is nothing surprising that this is a shift in political stance. Since ancient times, there have been many cases of such a shift in stance, some successful and some unsuccessful.

According to the history books, when Lu Bu first saw Liu Bei, he showed great respect. In this case, how could Liu Bei feel that Lu Bu was incoherent, and he was socializing with Lu Bu on the surface, but he felt unhappy in his heart? You must know that Lu Bu is a person who understands politics, and he can't talk casually, at least not to the point of being incoherent. Some people say that it was because Lu Bu called Liu Bei his younger brother, which made Liu Bei feel unhappy in his heart. No matter how you look at this reason, it feels far-fetched.

At first, I didn't quite understand how the people who wrote the history books learned about Liu Bei's inner activities, unless it was Liu Bei himself. In addition, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said that Zhang Miao also followed, since this is the case, why didn't he say a word during the banquet? Besides, what is Zhang Miao going with him for, is it said that he went to Liu Bei to rescue the soldiers? It stands to reason that this speculation is not necessarily impossible, after all, Cao Cao has not completely recovered Yanzhou at this time. But unfortunately, all the information is hidden from this matter, so there is no way to verify it for the time being. Speaking of which, I don't know if there will be any new discoveries in the future archaeology industry to solve the gaps in this history.

Speaking of the reason for the unhappiness between Lu Bu and Liu Bei, I remember that later Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to lead 30,000 cavalry to attack Xiaopei, and Liu Bei sent someone to ask Lu Bu for help, at this time Lu Bu's generals said: "The general often wants to get rid of Liu Bei, why not use Yuan Shu's hand now?" If this record is true, it must be that there is some deep hatred between Lu Bu and Liu Bei, which will cause Lu Bu to often think about getting rid of Liu Bei in his heart. If there is really any deep hatred between the two, why does Liu Bei ask Lu Bu for help, this doesn't seem to be logical, right? So I thought, maybe that's the way it is.

"Heroes" said: "At the beginning, the Son of Heaven was in Hedong, and there was a handwritten version of the book to summon cloth to welcome him. The cloth army has no stockpile, and it cannot be self-inflicted, so it is sent to the letter. "Hedong County belongs to the territory of Sizhou, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, under the protection of Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and others, intends to return to Luoyang in the east, but along the way he was constantly blocked by Li Dao and Guo Yan, until the end of December, he arrived at Anyi County in Hedong County with difficulty. At this time, Lu Bu temporarily lived in Xuzhou, and because the army was really difficult, he was unable to go to meet him. However, it doesn't matter if Lu Bu's army lacks military funds, he can always borrow a little from Liu Bei, right? When it is time to successfully welcome Emperor Xian back to Luoyang, wouldn't it be okay to let Emperor Xian give Liu Bei an edict to reward him? Obviously, it should be that Liu Bei did not lend it to Lu Bu, so Lu Bu saw that Liu Bei was a person who did not want to respect the Han family, so he had the idea of getting rid of him.

Although Lu Bu could not go to meet him, he still knew that he had sent an envoy to express the inside story, and from this point of view, he said that it should be true that he wanted to welcome Emperor Xian's return to the east, because this matter was only good for him and not harmful. And although Liu Bei has different intentions, it does not harm him to be loved and sought after by others. Having different intentions does not mean that their nature is necessarily bad, but it can only be said that their outlook on life and values are different, and their aspirations are different, which leads to their different positions. We cannot judge who is right and who is evil because they have different positions.
