At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, harems, foreign relatives, and eunuchs intertwined to hold the young monarch hostage, which eventually led to the collapse of the country. In 184 AD, the Yellow Turban suddenly caused chaos in the world, and Dong Zhuo of Xiliang returned to Luoyang to open the prelude to the merger of the masses. The battle between people and horses from all walks of life has gone through several ups and downs, and finally it has become a three-legged trend of Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei.
As everyone knows, Cao Cao's ancestor Cao Teng was the Marquis of Feiting with a knighthood, and his grandchildren were all in the imperial court, and Cao Cao was quite famous. Sun Quan sat on the foundation of Jiangdong and had a full range of generals and strategists, both of whom had innate advantages. In contrast, Liu Bei, in his early years, followed his widowed mother to weave mats and sell clothes to survive, and even the cost of studying was also funded by the same people.
Such a poor and precarious poor man actually pulled up a group of people and horses and conquered for more than 40 years to achieve great things. As the saying goes, "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass have gone first", a military horse needs a steady supply of grain and wages, so how did the poor Liu Bei raise grain and wages in the past few decades?
According to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and other documents, it can be seen that the generations of Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Dong Zhuo, who were rich in family assets, still needed to dig up ancient tombs and imperial tombs everywhere to obtain financial resources, but Liu Bei had no record of tomb robbery. But Liu liu has his own "way to make money."
Since Liu Bei entered the jianghu, he has always hung up on the "Han Dynasty Patriarch, After the King of Zhongshan Jing", do not ignore this "mantra", it has attracted countless funds for Liu Bei. The first group of people raised by Liu Beiping's Yellow Turban was Zhang Shiping, a wealthy businessman from Zhongshan, who gave thousands of dollars to help.
Secondly, Liu Bei always spread the name of "benevolence" and was good at left and right, so even if he spent most of his life running around, there was always someone to take in and help. Such as the early Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian's death to Xuzhou, Jingzhou Liu Biao and so on.
After the late invasion of Yizhou, Liu Bei once again suffered from a crisis of lack of military pay, and at Liu Ba's suggestion, Liu Bei extended his hand to the people of Shudi and created the much-maligned "Straight Hundred Dollars", a Straight Hundred Dollars exchanged for 100 five-baht money in the hands of the people, and the grain warehouse was full of money in time, Liu Bei's move could not be described as ruthless!
