With so many separatist forces, who can win the Central Plains? Obviously, without Cao Cao, it can only be Liu Bei.
Why? 1 Liu Bei is a hero. This is not only what Cao Cao said, but also the insight of people with lofty ideals in the world at that time. Liu Bei just lacks a place to play, and without Cao Cao, Liu Bei is likely to occupy Yanzhou and Yuzhou. In this way, Liu Bei has a place to use. He can recruit and collect taxes, and strengthen his own strength, which will develop sooner or later. Liu Bei is capable. Liu Bei was ambitious since he was a child. After he became an official, he fought against the North. Although he is always defeated and fought repeatedly, he is never discouraged, but he is defeated and fought repeatedly, and his character is tough and unparalleled.
Liu Bei knows people very well. Liu Bei knows how to use people. Besides Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei also discovered many talents and recruited many talents. Without Cao Cao, many outstanding talents under Cao Cao would rely on Liu Bei. Liu Bei has a slogan. Reviving the Han Dynasty is Liu Bei's political slogan. This slogan is very correct, attracting many old ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty to help them. Of course, if we can use the emperor to make him disobedient, Liu Bei's power will develop faster. 5. Liu Bei is kind. Liu Bei is famous for his kindness. Wherever he went, he was good to the local people, and the people especially supported Liu Bei, so that where did Liu Bei go? Many people followed them to the village. In this way, Liu Bei unified the whole north on behalf of Cao Cao.
