Is Liu Bei a kind Lord? After accidentally eating a woman's flesh, instead of showing any sympathy for the deceased's death, he punished the murderer. Therefore, he instructed Prime Minister Cao Cao to offer a reward of 120 catties for Sun Gan to capture the murderer Liu An. From this perspective, he is not only cruel, especially to women.
During the Three Kingdoms period, heroes emerged in large numbers and unjust cases emerged one after another. A major case that happened to Liu Bei, as the saying goes, is full of "feast of human flesh" and can be said to be an eternal injustice. Surprisingly, Luo Guanzhong and Lao Fuzi described the development of this event in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The so-called benevolent master Liu Bei and his adviser Sun Gan learned the truth after the "human flesh feast". Not only did they not show any sympathy for the deceased's death, they also severely punished the murderer. Instead, he asked Prime Minister Cao Cao to give him 120 yuan.
The story goes like this: In order to compete for Xuzhou territory, Liu Bei teamed up with Cao Cao to attack Lu Bu. Unexpectedly, he ran away and became a beggar. Fortunately, Liu Bei's reputation was well known, and ordinary people competed for food and lived in the home of Liu An, the hunter. During the war, Liu An wanted to find some game for Liu Bei, but couldn't find it for a while. So, he killed his wife, selected the meat, and had a "human flesh feast." The hungry Liu An replied: "It's wolf meat." Liu Bei and Sun Gan had a delicious meal. The next day, they saw a woman dead in the kitchen. After asking about the situation, they found out that they had eaten Lu Anzhi's wife last night. They said goodbye in tears. After telling Cao Cao, he ordered Sun Gan to give Liu one hundred taels of gold.
Is Liu Bei a kind Lord? From this perspective, this is not only unfair, but also cruel, especially for women. Liu Bei knew that he had eaten human flesh. Instead of scolding Liu An for setting him up for injustice, he was very moved. He broke up with Liu An in tears and gave it to him as a gift. He once said a famous saying: "Brothers are brothers, women are clothes." When it's cold, wear clothes, and when it's hot, throw them away. This sentence can be said to be extremely contemptuous of women. Therefore, eating women’s flesh is harmless. This is the private property of men. Liu An inevitably made a light meal. However, after all, Liu An killed his wife and suffered a loss. So Liu Bei was still a little sad. So I asked Cao Cao for a reward of 120 yuan and then married one. During the Three Kingdoms period, wars were raging. Cao Cao once wrote a poem "Journey to Haoli", in which he wrote: There are righteous people in Guandong, fight for them. On the first day of their first date, General Ding Meng came to Chang'an to attack Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's army gathered together, each with his own plan. They looked at each other and they refused to take the lead. These two sentences led to the battle of Zhu Lu's army, and then the various armies fought against each other. Yuan Shao's cousin Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Huainan, and Yuan Shaomou carved an emperor in the north. Because of the war, the soldiers could no longer take off their shirts and their armor was covered with lice. Many people died because of the war. The bones were exposed in the ground, but there was no one inside, and no one was crying. It's sad to think that only one out of a hundred people is still alive. Over the years, Liu An may have to be grateful for his wife's gold.
