"Han Wei Chun Qiu" records that before Liu Bei retreated, everyone was called to discuss countermeasures. Someone advised Liu Bei to hijack Liu Cong and Jingzhou secretariat officials and people to go south to Jiangling, relying on the water army and rich munitions there to make plans again. Didn't Han Wei say this in the Spring and Autumn Period? Is anyone here? Who is it, but combined with the records of Liu Bei's biography of the Three Kingdoms, this person should be Zhuge Liang.
Liu Biao had intended to entrust Jingzhou to Liu Bei before, but Liu Bei refused. He also refused this time. Liu Bei said: When Liu Jingzhou died, he entrusted me with the legacy of an orphan. I can't save myself by breaking my promise. How to face Liu Jingzhou after I die? ? Liu Bei then led the people south, passed Xiangyang City, and called for dialogue outside the city, but Liu did not dare to come out. "Dian lue" records that Liu Bei ran to the tomb of Liu Biao to pay homage. Tear? .
Then, if Liu Bei accepts this suggestion and really takes Liu Cong to Jiangling, is there any possibility of success? The answer is not much hope. First, it is hard to say whether Liu Bei's strength at that time could kill Xiangyang or kidnap Liu Cong. It should be said that he does not have such strength. Second, even if Liu Cong and Jingzhou officials can be held south, it is hard to say whether they can escape Cao Cao's pursuit. I should say that Cao Cao must have caught up with them again.
Of course, if Liu Beizhen can kidnap Liu Cong to Jiangling, it will be another result. At that time, Cao Cao ignored Xiangyang and went south directly, leaving an imagination space for the individuals around Liu Cong.
According to the Records of Hanshu, Jin Shu, Chunqiu, a man named Wang Wei gave Liu Cong an idea: Cao Cao thought that the general had surrendered and Liu Bei had escaped, so he was bound to relax and be unprepared. Now he went alone. If he lies in a dangerous place with thousands of strange soldiers, he will be captured. From then on, it will be a lofty world, and the Central Plains will be passed down. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't lose it! ?
Wang Wei has no record in the history books, but his eyes are poisonous, and his thoughts are really gloomy. If Liu Cong really did this, Cao Cao's experience in Weishui might be repeated.
Liu Cong, Liu Qi and Liu Bei, together with the water army of Jiangling and Sun Quan who are quietly approaching Jingzhou, just surrounded Cao Jun in the middle, and Cao Cao was in big trouble. Unfortunately, Bretz didn't accept the plan, because he had made up his mind to surrender. He just wanted to be safe and didn't want to take any more risks.
