但是怎么说你都觉得刘备这个人不像英雄，好，我们先看刘备不像英雄的表现，四点。
第一点，刘备没有强大的军队。刘备起兵的时候也是靠财团资助的，是中山国的两个大商人叫张世平和苏双资助了刘备一笔钱，刘备就招募了一些军队，但是估计这个军队规模很小，因为刘备带着这个军队去讨伐黄巾军以后得到的赏赐是什么呢？就任“安喜尉”，就是安喜县的县尉，换现在话说是副县级公安局长，可见人马不多。以后刘备也一直没有太像样的军队，所以我们在史书上经常看到的是刘备借兵，刘备那个时候向别人借兵，还借将，比方说借过赵云，刘备借兵借将说实话，比我现在借钱还方便，张口就借，现在咱借个钱还真不好意思开口，他没有什么像样的军队。我们知道那是一个乱世，乱世的特点是什么呢？乱是英雄起四方，有枪就是草头王，刘备没什么枪他就不是草头王，他怎么是英雄呢？这是第一点。
But anyway, you all think that Liu Bei doesn’t look like a hero. Okay, let’s first see how Liu Bei behaves like a hero. Four points.
First, Liu Bei does not have a strong army. When Liu Bei started his army, he also relied on financial support from a consortium. It was two big businessmen from the State of Zhongshan, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, who funded Liu Bei with a sum of money. Liu Bei recruited some troops, but it is estimated that the size of this army is very small, because what reward will Liu Bei receive after taking this army to crusade against the Huangjin Army? As the “Anxi Lieutenant”, he is the county lieutenant of Anxi County. In other words, he is the deputy county public security chief, which shows that there are not many people. In the future, Liu Bei has never had a decent army, so what we often see in historical books is that Liu Bei borrowed troops. At that time, Liu Bei borrowed troops from others, and also borrowed generals. For example, he borrowed troops from Zhao Yun. To be honest, it is more convenient for Liu Bei to borrow generals than I do now, so I just opened my mouth and borrowed them. It’s really embarrassing to borrow money from us now, he doesn’t have a decent army. We know that it was a troubled time. What are the characteristics of a troubled time? “Chaos is a hero in all directions, and with a gun, he is the king of grass heads. If Liu Bei doesn’t have a gun, he is not the king of grass heads. How can he be a hero?”? This is the first point.
第二，刘备没有稳固的地盘。他老在那儿飘着，好容易得到一块地方它很快就没了，比方说徐州，陶谦也让给他，其他的人也赞成他去代理徐州的政务，那刚刚得手吕布就把它拿走了。所以他只好东奔西走地投靠他人，朝秦暮楚地寄人篱下，所以刘备有一次喝醉了酒以后他痛哭流涕，说我刘备最大的问题是没有基本，基本这两个字什么意思？就是根据地，我刘备要是有一块根据地，现在那些人哪里是我的对手。
Secondly, Liu Bei does not have a solid foothold. “He was always floating there, so it was easy to get a piece of land that quickly disappeared. For example, in Xuzhou, Tao Qian also gave it to him, and other people also approved of him acting for Xuzhou’s government affairs. Lu Bu took it away as soon as he got his hands on it.”. So he had to run around and rely on others, constantly relying on others, so Liu Bei once cried bitterly after getting drunk and said that my biggest problem with Liu Bei was that I had no basic knowledge. What does the word basic mean? “It’s the base area. If Liu Bei had a base area, those people wouldn’t be my opponents now.”.
第三点，刘备也没有像样的战功。什么三英战吕布，温酒斩华雄啊，这些赫赫有名的战绩那是罗贯中帮他打的，而我们看《三国志》正史的记载经常看到是四个字：
先主败绩
Thirdly, Liu Bei has no decent combat achievements. “What three heroes fought against Lv Bu and Wen Jiu beheaded Hua Xiong? These famous achievements were fought by Luo Guanzhong for him, and we often see four words in the official history of The Records of the Three Kingdoms:”
To lead and lose
