The Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although it ended in failure, eventually shook the rule of the Han Dynasty, and to a certain extent, accelerated the already precarious rule of the Han Dynasty. After all, during the reign of the Han Ling Emperor, he was immersed in eating, drinking and playing all day. After experiencing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was still faint and incompetent, and he did not want to make progress, thinking that even if he came back to the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few times, it would be a matter of indifference. In fact, at this time, the Eastern Han Dynasty was already devastated. It is said that the times create heroes, and an era of heroes has gradually opened the curtain. After the Golden Rebellion was settled, the former heroes were all old, and many young heroes began to emerge, such as Liu Bei, whom we know well.
In fact, when Liu Bei was young, he already had high ambitions. When his parents died young, Liu Bei followed his mother to weave straw shoes and make mats. Such a day did not extinguish Liu Bei's ambition. According to records, in front of the house where Liu Bei lived as a child, there was a large mulberry tree about 17 meters high. When passers-by saw it, they said that this family must be a genius. When Liu Bei was a child, he played with the children of the same age around him, and the other children all giggled and played around, but Liu Bei seemed to have a heart at a young age, he looked up at the tree and said: I will take this feather to cover the car. As soon as the words fell, the uncle who was cool under the tree was startled by him.
Liu Bei's appearance since childhood was different from ordinary people, and his earlobes were very large, which was also a symbol of blessing, but later Liu Bei's opponents called him a big ear thief, for example, Lü Bu once called him. Liu Bei is still very silent, but it does not mean that he does not communicate with others, he likes to make friends with people of insight in the world since he was a child, which also lays a good foundation for Liu Bei to divide the world later. In the eyes of most people, Liu Bei is known for his benevolence and righteousness. Renyi is just a means for Liu Bei to win over the talents around him, so later Liu Bei's benevolence has even become a kind of joke. At the beginning, Chen Shou commented on Liu Bei in this way, saying that Liu Bei Hongyi was generous, knew people and treated soldiers, and was covered with the style of Gao Zu and the instrument of heroes. Liu Bei was able to gain a foothold in the chaotic world, inseparable from his character.
There is a very sharp contrast between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and many people who follow Cao Cao value his attention to talent, and are ambitious enough to feel that they have innate domineering. As for the fact that so many people will choose to be loyal to Liu Bei, in fact, it is more of Liu Bei's efforts to revive the Han Dynasty, and his benevolence is naturally an indispensable key factor. The most important thing is that Liu Bei treats his subordinates like brothers and sisters, after all, he understands the importance of buying people's hearts. It can be said that Liu Bei is one of the few figures who attaches equal importance to benevolence and hegemony. It is said that the world is divided into three parts, Liu Bei occupies the people, when Cao Cao occupies the heavens, Sun Quan occupies the geographical advantage. Liu Bei's characteristics were already a valuable quality during the Three Kingdoms period, when it was possible to fight for power and profit without honor. Of course, it is precisely because of Liu Bei's benevolence that so many people will be loyal to Liu Bei. For example, Zhao Yun chose a person to fight to the death when Liu Bei fled to protect Liu Bei's wife and children. For several people loyal to Liu Bei, what other important reasons do you think there is?
