A son should be like Sun Zhongmou, and Liu Jingsheng's son should be like a dolphin or a dog's ear. The first half of this sentence is about Sun Quan, who is very clever, and the second half is about Liu Jingsheng's son. As we all know, Liu Jingsheng is Liu Biao. So what did Cao Cao, who is good at knowing people, say? Is Liu Biao's son really as stupid as a pig's ear?

In fact, this is not Cao Cao's judgment on the quality of these two people, but his judgment under the eldest son inheritance system and clan blood identity. Sun Quan was born in 182. He was a very lucky man after his birth, because his father and brother had laid the foundation for his rule.

Therefore, Sun Quan can manage the State of Wu well without much effort. But on the contrary, Sun Quan is a very capable person. Cao Cao even made an evaluation of "having children like Sun Zhongmou". The story happened in 2 13. Cao Cao and Sun Quan were deadlocked in a place called Ruxukou.

At that time, Sun Quan decided to use the strategy of attacking by water to force Cao Jun to retreat, and he did make Cao Jun lose many good soldiers. But Cao Cao was unwilling and did not retreat immediately. In the case of stalemate, Cao Cao and Sun Quan both held their horses and waited for each other's action. Later, Sun Quan couldn't bear it any longer, and decided to go out and attack Cao Jun himself.

At first glance, Cao Cao's army thought it was a new enemy and was going to fight. As a result, Cao Cao did break Sun Quan's plan and told the soldiers not to act rashly. When Cao Cao saw the disciplined army, he immediately praised that having children should be like Sun Zhongmou. Sun Quan is worthy of the name. In 208, he decided to form an alliance with Liu Bei.

So Sun Quan won a certain stability and peace for the time being, which can be used to develop production and military affairs. 2 19 years, Jingzhou will be taken as soon as the time is ripe. Can enter and retreat, brave and good at fighting. This is indeed a very dazzling number. On the other hand, Liu Cong is a completely different situation.

Actually, strictly speaking, people are still talking about Liu Biao today, largely because of his second son, Liu Cong. But in fact, Liu Cong is so excellent because of his brother. Liu Biao was born in 142 and died in 2008. After his death, Liu Qi, the eldest son, originally inherited the title of Liu Biao. At that time, the ministers in power advocated replacing the original eldest son heir with the second son Liu Cong to inherit Liu Biao's position.

But this undoubtedly violated the order and principle of inheritance at that time. What is even more puzzling is that the second son has no outstanding talent. So when Cao Cao led the troops to attack Jingzhou, Liu Cong didn't have any defense. In the end, it can only end in surrender. Cao Cao said he was as good as a dolphin and a dog's ear.
