How much helplessness did the real Liu Bei hide when he abandoned his wife and children?

From fledgling to settling in Jingzhou, Liu Bei bid farewell to his wife and children many times. However, it is this descendant of the Han nationality with "high-ancestor demeanor" who always makes the mistake of running away after losing the battle, regardless of his wife and small official, and escapes without a trace, which can be regarded as the true inheritance of Liu Bang's "old tradition" of abandoning his wife and children. More than 300 years ago, at the end of Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Liu Bei, abandoned his son Xiao Li Yuan Lu. In the battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu threatened to cook his father, but Liu Bang said, "Fortunately, I have cakes." History is so similar. More than 300 years later, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, who was also experiencing the same grassroots experience as his ancestors, would also face the choice of running for his life and abandoning his wife and children. But he didn't hesitate too much to be abandoned, but fled to a safe place and tried to clean up the mess.

In the first year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, although Liu Bei was in Xuyi and Huaiyin, he was named General Town East and Hou Ting Yicheng by the court. When the stalemate between the two armies entered a white-hot stage, Lu Bu, who was placed in Xiaopei by Liu Bei, took the opportunity to sneak attack Pi. Cao Bao, commander of Xiapi, sneaked into Lu Bu, and Xiapi fell. As a result, Liu Bei's wife and children were captured by Lu Bu as soon as they settled down in Xiapi. Liu Bei had no choice but to lead an army to the west coast. Liu Bei's career has just started. For the first time, he really mastered the land of a country. However, just as he was about to spread his faith to the whole world, Lu Bu, a baiwenhang, came to seek asylum. As a result, Liu Bei became "Teacher Dong Guo" in a muddle, which laid the groundwork for Yuan's defeat and the fall of Xuzhou.

Knowing that he was wrong, Lu Bu dared not hurt Liu Bei's wife and children. Being besieged by Liu Bei to save Zhao, he had to leave Yuan Shu exhausted. This time, his wife and children were taken captive, but because Liu Bei and Lu Bu made peace, Lu Bu returned Liu Bei's wife and children and solved it temporarily. Guan Yu was stationed in Xiapi, and Liu Bei was stationed in Xiaopei, where more than 10,000 people gathered. Lu Bu was afraid of Liu Bei's counterattack and attacked Liu Bei. Liu Bei was defeated and fled to Cao Cao, who recommended Liu Bei to be a shepherd in Yuzhou and provided money and food for Liu Bei to conquer Lu Bu. Lu Bu turned Seibel upside down. Why did Cao Cao send me here? Fighting with Liu Bei and Gao Shun, he was defeated by Gao Shun. Liu Bei's wife and children were captured again. At this time, Liu Bei was unable to resist the powerful offensive of Lu Bu's army alone, so Cao Cao had to personally lead the army against Lu Bu. Finally, Lu Bu was captured alive in the decisive battle of Xiapi, and Liu Bei was able to reunite with his wife and children in Xiapi City.

Liu Bei lost his wife in his early years and later became a concubine. When he was in Xiaopei, he married Mi Zhu's sister Mi. After several life and death parting, Liu Bei was given the eternal infamy of "wife is like clothes, brother is like brothers". What is the reason? The saddest thing in life is that a teenager loses his father, a wife in middle age and a child in old age. Liu Bei lost his father as a teenager, and his mother made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes. Thanks to the support of the clan, we can barely "prosper" and "enjoy the name of chivalry". However, Liu Bei lost several wives while taking his wife and children with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong. This is tantamount to making Liu Bei, who lost his father's love and lacked warmth since childhood, suffer a heavy blow again. So that Liu Bei showed almost no lust later. In order to take care of his family, he married Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun, all of which were political marriages. According to common sense, Liu Bei naturally wanted to "bid farewell to Cambridge" when he was young. As a man of flesh and blood, he also longs for love. However, successive career setbacks and battlefield defeats left him too busy to find his own love and his own woman. He can only give up his family for everyone. Since then, I have only heard that Liu Bei's wise men are "like a duck to water", but I have never seen Liu Bei find a beloved woman.

Liu Bei abandoned his wife and children actively and passively in his early years, which naturally left him helpless. When he turned against Cao Cao, Cao Cao captured Guan Yu and Liu Bei's wife and children together. Later, Guan finally moved Cao Cao righteously and was able to take Liu Bei's family to Yuan Shao to find him. Later, Liu Bei was caught up by Cao Cao in Dangyang and abandoned his wife for life again. Thanks to Chen Dao, Zhao Yun and others, Liu Bei's youngest son Liu Chan was saved. Finally, Liu Bei's fate of abandoning his wife and children came to an end when he invited Zhuge Liang out.

Liu Bei's life was extremely bumpy, and his wife and children also lived a very unstable life. Get rid of wives and concubines who die first. Mrs. Gan died in Jingzhou early after giving birth to the child. And Mrs. Sun is a trick arranged by Sun Quan to win over Liu Bei. After Liu Bei entered Shu, Wu Pai sent an envoy to meet Mrs. Sun, and Liu and Sun never contacted each other again. At first, Wu Huanghou was a young widow. After Liu Bei entered Shu, he tried his best to win over Shu people and took Wu for the second time. And this dying old man, who is about to turn 60, was finally taken good care of by Wu Huanghou in the last few years of his life. It was not until his later years that he really enjoyed family life. Liu Bei's life has many wounds that ordinary people can't understand, and there are also legendary experiences that ordinary people can't repeat. No matter how much he despises women and the next generation, he still has to step down from the stage of life. Before he died, he said meaningfully to Zhuge Liang, "If my children and grandchildren are unable to govern the country, you can replace them."
