What was the result of replacing Yuan Shao with Liu Bei in Guandu War?

If Liu Bei had as many advisers and military commanders as Yuan Shao, then Liu Bei might have a greater chance of winning the battle of Guandu, and Cao Cao would not become the overlord of the north in one fell swoop.

The failure of Yuan Shao's battle with Guandu was determined by his character. Yuan Shao is conceited. He thinks he is from a noble family, and there is a sense of contempt for others in his bones. Moreover, this man is too emotional, but he lacks judgment on major issues, and he can't afford to lose. If only these personality defects, he may not be so miserable, but the trouble is that he looks down on his counselors. Although the counselors have delicious food in Yuan Shao's place, their strategies are hard to be adopted by Yuan Shao. In other words, the counselors are just a scene where he lives, and Cao Cao also has many shortcomings, but fortunately, he will carefully analyze the strategies of the counselors, have his own decisions, and will never be arbitrary.

Let's see Liu Bei again. Liu Bei was not like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the early stage, and there were quite few counselors. After all, he started his business soon, and everyone's recognition of him is not high. Counselors like big groups like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to give full play to their strategies. However, with the improvement of his popularity under the name of Cao Cao Group, people gradually came to him. Liu Bei and Cao Cao have similar advantages, and his advisers also listened to their opinions. At this point, Yuan Shao is inferior to them. Although you may not be able to fight like Yuan Shao, you won't kill Tian Feng who remonstrated with you.

Therefore, I think that if Yuan Shao was replaced by Liu Bei, Liu Bei could not have lost miserably.
