Liu Beizi Xuande (161 AD - 223 AD), a native of Zhuo County, Youzhou (present-day Zhuozhou, Baoding City, Hebei Province) at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was a descendant of Liu Sheng, the King of Jingjing in The Han Dynasty, who was humble, broad-minded, a corporal of courtesy, and a wise man, known for his benevolence, praised by later generations, and was praised by many people as "Liu Beixiongcai".
Taoyuan Three Knots
In 184 AD, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, Liu Bei was determined to revive the Han Room, save the people from water and fire, one day, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had a conflict in the street, a big fight, from the east end of the street to the west end of the street, one step at a time, three steps and one foot, everyone was watching, Mo dared to intervene, at this time only saw a weak scholar who sold straw shoes shouted loudly, "Stop, you two boys, dare to fight on my ground, turn the sky upside down, right?" If you can't get over anything, sit down and talk about it. Liu Bei hurriedly went forward to persuade the two to stop them, and later after the three of them met, they learned that this person was Liu Bei, after the King of Zhongshan Jing, as the saying goes, "Heroes cherish heroes, and good men love Han." So the three of them held some soil in the street and worshiped as brothers, which the locals called the first worship.
In fact, this worship is just a form of making wine and meat friends on the rivers and lakes, at this time the three people are not all sincere, one day Zhang Fei deliberately arranged a feast in the back garden, first sat down with Guan Yu on both sides, but left the head empty, deliberately left to Liu Bei. In fact, the seat in the middle is in a dry well, there is a reed mat on it, Guan and Zhang are actually intentionally the whole Liu Bei, only to see Liu Bei not rushed to sit in the middle, and there is nothing wrong, Zhang Fei excused himself from behind Liu Bei, only to see the smoke below the dry well, there is a scaly five-clawed golden dragon supporting Liu Bei, so busy with Guan Yu, Guan Yu understands that Liu Bei is only a hero at the moment, the future will be rich and noble, keep up with the day when he will get ahead, so he looks at him differently, So the three of them had a second worship at Zhang Fei's house.
Among the three, Liu Bei was the poorest, so every gathering was a guest of Guan and Zhang, Liu Bei was very unwilling to go, so he invited the two brothers to their home for dinner, at this time the three of them talked very happily and were like-minded. At this time, the big peach orchard in the west of The village of Lousang, where Liu Bei lived, coincided with peach blossoms, red flowers like fire, and full of vitality, they took a fancy to this place, so they worshiped for the third time there, the sea vowed the mountain alliance, and the three of them burned incense and said the oath: "Read Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, although they have different surnames, they are married as brothers, they will work together to save the poor and help the crisis; report to the state, and go down to Lishu." I do not want to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but only on the same day of the same month of the same year. Emperor Tianhou Earth, true to this heart, ungrateful, heaven and man fighting together! "Take the oath, worship Liu Bei as a brother, Guan Yu second, and Zhang Fei as a brother." At this moment, it is taoyuan three knots.
Emperor Zhaolie of Han
When Liu Bei was a teenager, he took Lu Zhi as his teacher, and in his early years, he was displaced and experienced hardships, and he defected to many princes and participated in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He successively led the army to rescue Xiangkong Rong in beihai and Mutaoqian in Xuzhou. After Tao Qian died of illness, he ceded Xuzhou to Liu Bei. During the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei and Sun Quan allied with Cao Cao, taking advantage of the situation to seize Jingzhou, and then advancing on Yizhou, forming a situation of three divisions of the world. In 220 AD, Cao Pi usurped Han and established the state as Wei, and in 221 AD, Liu Bei did not recognize the Cao Wei regime, declared himself emperor in Chengdu, re-established the Han Dynasty as a relative of the Han Dynasty, and continued the unification of the Eastern Han Dynasty, known in history as Shu Han.
In 219 AD, Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou, defeated Maicheng and was killed, Liu Bei ignored Zhuge Liang's persuasion, insisted on attacking Eastern Wu to avenge Guan Yu, because the preparation time was not long, coupled with no time and place, and finally ended in failure, and at this time Liu Bei was more than sixty years old, after the failure of the crusade against Eastern Wu, he was exhausted and seriously ill, and in 222 AD he entrusted Zhuge Liang to the White Emperor City, at the age of 63, and was later called - Emperor Zhaolie of Han.
