The real Liu Bei in history.

The real Liu Bei in history is charming and resourceful.

When Liu Bei was a teenager, he worshipped Lu Zhi as a teacher, and later participated in activities such as suppressing the Yellow Scarf Uprising and punishing Dong Zhuo. Because of his limited strength, Liu Bei suffered repeated failures in the scuffle among princes, so he attached himself to Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and other princes.

However, because he always adhered to the code of conduct of serving people with virtue, he was respected by celebrities at home and abroad. Even Tao Qian and Liu Biao gave up letting their sons inherit the inheritance, but chose to hand over their territories Xuzhou and Jingzhou to Liu Bei.

After unremitting efforts, after Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei successively won Jingzhou and Yizhou, and established the Shu-Han regime. Later, because Guan Yu was killed, Liu Bei ignored the advice of his ministers and insisted on going to war with Wu. The result was defeated by Yiling, and finally Zhangwu died in Baidicheng in 223. At the age of 63, posthumous title Zhaolie was buried in Huiling.

Although Liu Bei has royal blood, his childhood has experienced the tragedy of family decline and his father's death. When forced by life, he followed his mother "selling shoes and weaving mats" and began to taste the hardships of life. The adversity of life forced by this kind of life has sharpened Liu Bei's mind and cast his character of being kind to others.

Liu Bei's mother is a very knowledgeable person. Although she is poor, she still wants to send Liu Bei to school. When Liu Bei was fifteen years old, he studied under the famous scholar Lu Zhi, the satrap of Jiujiang, and Gongsun Zan and Liu Deran. Liu Bei's excellent interpersonal skills and social knowledge greatly appreciated his father.

At that time, Liu Deran's father gave Liu Bei a copy every time he paid for his son's education. They treated each other equally, so that Dylan's mother complained, but Dylan's father said, "I have this son in my family, and he is very human." It seems that the spiritual temperament embodied by this ancient Shu Han master in his youth is extraordinary.

Lu Zhi is a knowledgeable Confucian scholar, with both civil and military skills. Liu Bei naturally gained a lot of knowledge under his door. After studying with Lu Zhi, Liu Bei lost his job for some time. His hometown, Zhuo Jun, Hebei, is a place with a wide network of contacts and a large floating population. During this period, young Liu Bei likes to make friends.

Because Liu Bei was personally handed down and taught by Lu Zhi, a famous scholar, he gained a lot of knowledge, including his grasp of the world situation at that time, and his spiritual temperament of making friends with heroes all over the world and being approachable, which made him very popular, and many young people often surrounded him.

Among these young people is Guan Yu, who angered local bullies and fled abroad; Zhang Fei, who is generous and rich; And Jian Yong, he is humorous, good at arguing, honest and frank.
