Read history to Ming Zhi, know the past to learn from the present; Taste heroic life, read the taste of the world; Welcome to the "History of Strange Words", let us go to taste the wonderful and tortuous life course of the heroes in the chaotic world.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was weak and the masses rose up, of which four princes surnamed Liu were also active during this period; Today, let us take stock of the wonderful performances of these princes on the stage of the struggle for supremacy at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Biao, as an early group of heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty, his seniority was much higher than that of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce; at the time of the three people's obscurity, Liu Biao was already a party prince with more than 100,000 armor in the land of Jingxiang.
In the NetEase game "Coast of the Land", Liu Biao alone occupies the land of the eight counties of Jingzhou, and the tiger looks at Xuchang, which once made Cao Cao quite jealous; Surrounded by strong enemies from Yuan Shu, Liu Zhang, Li Guo, and Cao Cao, he was able to dominate Hannan and did not lose an inch of land, which is enough to show that Liu Biao was by no means an incompetent person.

However, he gave people the feeling of playing soy sauce in the chaotic world of the late Han Dynasty; although he was strong, he did nothing, and obviously had a great opportunity in front of him but wasted it.
Even in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that he was: "He is jealous of the outside and jealous of the inside, and he is indecisive; he has talent but cannot use it, and he cannot accept it when he smells good; he abolishes his concubines and establishes his wife, and he worships and loves with reverence"; but if he is really as mentioned above, why did he cut the land for thousands of miles and dominate Jingxiang?
Young fame, not reused; In middle age, he was appointed to the feudal territory
Liu Biao, character Jingsheng, eight feet tall, handsome appearance, very talented when he was young, and the other seven talented and famous talents in the same period were called "Eight Jun"; the image of Liu Biao in [The Coast of the Land] was modeled according to the history books, although it is no longer young and heroic, but it can still be seen that his appearance is elegant and handsome, it is not difficult to imagine that when he was young, he must be a beautiful teenager.
The coast of the land --- Liu Biao
He was born in the Huanling period, as a famous talent at that time, he participated in and led the "Tai Student Movement" and was implicated by the scourge of the party and was forced to flee; after the outbreak of the "Yellow Turban Uprising", the Ling Emperor lifted the party ban, and he was called to serve under the general He Jin.

In 189, he Jin was killed at the hands of the Ten Constant Attendants, and Dong Zhuo entered The Capital with troops and was good at dictating the government; Dong Zhuo was killed by Sun Jian because of the original Jingzhou Assassination History, so he sent Liu Biao, who was well-known and a relative of the Han Dynasty, to take over the Jingzhou Assassin History.

At that time, jingzhou was full of large and small local clan forces, and Nanyang County in the north was occupied by Yuan Shu, and the position of Taishou of Changsha County in the south was taken by the Wu people Su Dai, and other smaller clans were also dominated by the local kings; such a chaotic Jingzhou seriously damaged the interests of the Jingzhou clans at that time, such as the Xiangyang clan and the Cai clan, and liu biao's arrival could just enable the clan to stabilize Jingzhou with the help of Liu Biao's ability and reputation, and Liu Biao's stability of Jingzhou also required the use of the financial and military strength of the local clan, and the two purposes coincided And Liu Biao's relationship with the great clan also makes Liu Biao different from other princes, appearing to be defensive and insufficient in attack, in short, there is no real "concubine power" support for him to show his fists!
After Liu Biao took up the post of Jingzhou Assassin alone, he first conspired with Ku Liang, Ku Yue, Cai Mao and others to lure fifty-five members of the clan Haoqiang to a banquet, beheaded them all in one fell swoop, and then surrendered to xiangyang thieves, and the rest of the counties in Jingnan fled in the name of Liu Biao, and Liu Biao now controlled the remaining seven counties of Jingzhou except Nanyang County; although Liu Biao was nearly half a hundred years old this year, he would also start a brilliant moment in his life!
Jingzhou Mu --- Liu Biao
Attack and defend freely, dominate one side
In 191 AD, Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian from Nanyang Commandery to attack Liu Biao from nanyang to the south, plotting against Jingzhou, Liu Biao sent Huang Zu to confront Sun Jian, Huang Zu shot Sun Jian with a dark arrow, causing Yuan Shu to lose an arm, and at the same time Liu Biao took advantage of Yuan Shu's war with Cao Cao to cut off his grain routes, making Yuan Shu unable to occupy Nanyang anymore; Liu Biao used this to retake Nanyang County, bringing the eight counties of Jingzhou under his jurisdiction.
General Yuan Shu --- Sun Jian
In 194 AD, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan died, and his son Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne, Liu Biao took the opportunity to instigate Liu Zhang's subordinate Gan Ning and others to rebel, and then because Gan Ning and others failed, the matter was not resolved.
In 196, because Li Dai and Guo Feng were at Chang'an, the hussar general Zhang Ji fled nanyang and was shot and killed by Liu Biao's men during the attack on Yongcheng, after which Liu Biao was relieved and summoned Zhang Xiu and his subordinates, making him a vassal of Nanyang Commandery and defending him against the threat from the north.
At the same time, its sphere of influence gradually extended to Jiaozhou, when the Jiaozhou Assassin History was appointed by Liu Biao.
While expanding and defending outwards, Liu Biao built Jingzhou into a paradise in the late Han Dynasty second only to Yizhou; the original Jingzhou was no different from other war-torn places, turbulent, and the people were not happy.
After Liu Biao took over jingzhou, he suppressed and used it together, enwei and shi, so that the thieves in the territory Kou Haoqiang were used for his own use, so that the people of Jingzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the erudite people in the war-torn lands in the north went south to Jingxiang to avoid disasters, such as Zhuge Liang, who we know well, lived in seclusion in Jingzhou, and fumined the people and lied up, and even with Si.

Twilight old lion, ambition is no longer there
At this time, although Liu Biao made some achievements both internally and externally, compared with other princes of the same era, Liu Biao's series of operations basically belonged to the protection of the border and the people, and he never launched a large-scale war on the outside world, the reason was nothing more than that his family clan was unwilling to shed blood and sacrifice in foreign wars, and damaged his own strength.
In 200 AD, something struck Liu Biao hard, with Zhang Xiu, a vassal of Nanyang, who had originally defended Nanyang, leading his people to surrender to Cao Cao, and yuan shao and Cao Cao were about to start the Battle of Guandu, which determined the ownership of the north.
However, this year's Liu Biao was 58 years old, and Liu Biao in his twilight years basically had no ambitions to defend himself at this time; although he had also intended to surrender to Cao Cao, but the "pro-Cao" faction of his family clan made him very angry; a few years later, Sun Quan must have understood the chagrin in Liu Biao's heart at this time, but unfortunately, Sun Quan still had Zhou Yu and Lu Su to rely on, and who could Liu Biao rely on?
In the same year, his brother-in-law defected to him, and although He had made Liu Bei go north to Cao Cao several times, it was no longer difficult to cause damage to Cao Cao, and perhaps Liu Biao knew in his heart that the day of his death was the time when Jingzhou changed hands.
In 208, Liu Biao died of illness, and the Jingzhou clan supported his young son Liu Chun to succeed to the throne, and then coerced Liu Chun to surrender to Cao Cao, and the main subordinates were all added to the rank of knight.
Liu Chun
Throughout Liu Biao's life, he became famous at a young age and became famous; in the half hundred years, he was promoted to the pastor of the prefecture; when he was pacifying Jingzhou, it was formed because of the support of the family clan, but the family clan has since become a cage that binds him, even if he cuts the land for thousands of miles, it is difficult to dominate the army with more than 100,000 troops!
