Chapter 133: Relying on benevolence and righteousness, Liu Xuande, a down-and-out royal family, turned his life around and changed his life!

It was by relying on these "benevolent and righteous" actions again and again that he, Emperor Liu, could step by step transform into Emperor Zhaolie, the founding monarch of the Shu Han Dynasty.

Otherwise, he would still be weaving mats and selling shoes in Dongjun as he did in his early years, living a hard and poor life, and he would not be as prosperous and prosperous as he would be in the future. After all, Liu Xuande was also the queen of Zhongshan Prince Jing.

Although it happened many generations ago, he still has a dream in his heart to restore the glory of his ancestors, hoping that one day he can stand in the court and display his ambitions.

Liu Bei is a descendant of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty ("Dian Lue" states that Liu Bei is a genus of Hou Zhi of Linyi).

Liu Bei's grandfather Liu Xiong was promoted to the title of Xiaolian and served as an official in Dongjun County. Liu Bei's father Liu Hong died early. The young Liu Bei and his mother made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes, and their life was very difficult.

There is a mulberry tree on the fence in the southeast corner of Liu Bei's house, which is more than five feet high. From a distance, it looks like a car hood. People who come and go think that this tree does not look like an ordinary thing, and think that this family must have a noble person.

When Liu Bei was a child, he was playing under a tree with children from his clan. He pointed at the mulberry tree and said, "I will definitely ride in a carriage with a feather cover like this in the future." Liu Bei's uncle Liu Zijing said, "Don't talk nonsense, or your family will be exterminated."

In the fourth year of Xiping (175), when Liu Bei was fifteen years old, his mother asked him to go out to study. Liu Bei, his fellow clansman Liu Deran, and Gongsun Zan from western Liaoning worshiped the former Jiujiang prefect, and studied with Lu Zhi, a fellow county resident.

Liu Deran's father, Liu Yuanqi, often supported Liu Bei and treated him and Liu Deran equally. This move caused dissatisfaction from Liu Yuanqi's wife. Liu Yuanqi said: "There is such a child in our clan, he is not an ordinary person."

Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei became good friends. Gongsun Zan was older than Liu Bei, and Liu Bei regarded Gongsun Zan as his elder brother. Liu Bei didn't like reading much, but liked dogs and horses, music, and beautiful clothes. He was seven feet five inches tall, and his hands hung down to his knees, so that he could see his own

ear.

He doesn't like to talk, but he can treat his servants kindly, and he is indifferent to emotions and anger. He likes to make friends with heroes. The local heroes are vying to attach themselves to Liu Bei.

In the first year of Zhongping (184), the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out. The 24-year-old Liu Bei made military exploits in the battle to suppress the uprising, and then participated in the battle to suppress Zhang Chun's rebellion in the third year of Zhongping (188).

Was given the title of County Lieutenant of Anxi County,

Later, the imperial court issued an order: Anyone who became an official due to military merit would be selected and eliminated. The governor of the county was to dismiss Liu Bei. After Liu Bei learned the news, he went to the inn where the governor was staying to ask for an audience. The governor complained that he was ill and refused to see him.

Liu Bei, harboring a grudge, tied up the governor and whipped him two hundred times. After that, he, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei abandoned their posts and fled.

Later, General He Jin sent Guanqiu Yi to Danyang to recruit troops, and Liu Bei also joined him on the way. When he arrived at Xiapi, he fought with bandits and made meritorious service. He was appointed as the Prime Minister of Xiami County, and soon resigned. Later, he was appointed as Gaotang Wei, Gao

Tang Ling and other positions. Soon Gaotang County was captured by thieves, so Liu Bei went to Gongsun Zan and was promoted to Sima of another department.

Guan Hai, a member of the Yellow Turban Party, led an army to attack Beihai. Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong was surrounded by a large army and the situation was critical, so he sent Taishi Ci to break out and ask Liu Bei for help.

Liu Bei was surprised and replied: "Kong Rong, Prime Minister of Beihai, actually knew that Liu Bei existed in the world!" He immediately sent three thousand elite soldiers to accompany Tai Shici to Beihai for rescue. When the Yellow Turban Army heard that the reinforcements were coming, they all fled in all directions, and Kong Rong was able to relieve the siege.

Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Zan, while Liu Bei and Tian Kai settled in Qi east.

In the first year of Xingping (194), Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou again in the name of revenge for his father. Tao Qian, the pastor of Xuzhou, could not resist and asked Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, for help. Tian Kai and Liu Bei went to the rescue together. Liu Bei had more than a thousand soldiers and You.

The Wuwan and Hu cavalry in Zhouzhou captured thousands of hungry people. After arriving in Xuzhou, Tao Qian gave Liu Bei another 4,000 Danyang soldiers, and Liu Bei returned to Tao Qian.

At this time, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong rebelled against Lu Bu and attacked Cao Cao. Cao Cao's base fell, so he returned to Yanzhou. Tao Qian appointed Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou and ordered him to garrison Xiaopei.

In the third year of Jian'an (198), Lu Bu sent Zhonglang General Gao Shun and Northern Governor Zhang Liao to attack Liu Bei. Although Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun to rescue him, he was defeated. Peicheng was finally conquered, Liu Bei's wife was taken prisoner again, and Liu Bei escaped alone.

A good reputation, but repeatedly abandoning your wife in times of crisis is not a glorious thing.

Liu Bei met Cao Cao on the border of Liang State, so he jointly attacked Lu Bu with Cao Cao. After Lu Bu surrendered, Liu Bei urged Cao Cao to kill Lu Bu. Later, Liu Bei and Cao Cao returned to Xudu and were named General of the Left.

In the fourth year of Jian'an (199), Chariot General Dong accepted the imperial edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei did not dare to join him at first. Later, Cao Cao and Liu Bei started drinking to discuss heroes. Cao Cao said to Liu Bei: "Today's heroes are you and me.

."

Liu Bei was frightened and dropped his chopsticks. He knew that Cao Cao could not tolerate him, so he had no choice but to conspire with Dong Cheng and others. After all, only in this way could he stand out. Such high-risk and high-reward things would never happen in the past or in the future.

It happened that Cao Cao sent Liu Bei and Zhu Ling to attack Yuan Shu at that time. Yuan Shu died of illness on the way. Lian wanted to take a sip of honey water at the last moment of his life but was unable to get it. Later Liu Bei marched to Xiapi, killed Chezhou, the governor of Xuzhou, and left Guan Yu to guard him.

Pi, exercising his duties as a prefect, returned to Xiaopei by himself.

Changxi and other counties in the East China Sea mostly followed Liu Bei. Liu Bei had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so he joined Yuan Shao in the north to fight against Cao Cao. Cao Cao sent Sikong Commander Shi Peiguo Liu Dai and Zhonglang General Fufeng Wang Zhong to attack, but Liu Bei repulsed them.

In the spring of the fifth year of Jian'an (200), the Clothes Edict occurred. Cao Cao personally conquered Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was defeated and Guan Yu was captured.

Liu Bei fled to Qingzhou. Yuan Tan, the governor of Qingzhou, whom Liu Bei had recommended as a talented person, led the army to meet Liu Bei. Liu Bei followed Yuan Tan to the plains and sent people to tell Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao left Yecheng for 200 miles to meet Liu Bei and stayed for more than a month.

By the end of the month, Liu Bei's scattered soldiers slowly gathered here.

In July of the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), Liu Pi, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Runan, and others rebelled and returned to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei to lead the army and Liu Pikou to the south of Xudu. When Guan Yu learned about it, he died from Cao Cao and returned to Liu Bei to help him.

Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to attack Liu Bei. Liu Bei was not successful in the battle, so he returned to Yuan Shao and wanted to leave Yuan Shao. On the pretext of connecting with Liu Biao, he led his troops back to Runan and united with the remaining Yellow Turban party in Gongdu. There were thousands of people. Cao Cao sent Cai Yang

He came to attack and was killed by Liu Bei.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the sixth year of Jian'an (201), Cao Cao personally attacked Liu Bei, and Liu Bei went to Liu Biao. Liu Biao personally went to the outskirts to greet Liu Bei, and after being treated as a distinguished guest, he settled in Xinye, Jingzhou.

The heroes all went to join Liu Bei, which aroused Liu Biao's suspicion, and Liu Biao was secretly wary of Liu Bei.

In the seventh year of Jian'an (202), Liu Biao ordered Liu Bei to lead his army north to Ye County, where Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin were restrained. Li Dian led his army to resist. Liu Bei faked a retreat and set up an ambush. Li Dian thought it was a trick and persuaded him, but Xiahou Dun refused to listen.

He was defeated by Liu Bei. Fortunately, Li Dian arrived in time. Liu Bei's army was too small and he knew that he would not gain any advantage in a stalemate, so he retreated.

Liu Bei had been in Jingzhou for several years. He felt that he was approaching old age but had not accomplished much, so he had a "sigh". Liu Bei proposed to Liu Biao a sneak attack on Xudu while Cao Cao was attacking Wuhuan, but Liu Biao did not adopt it.

In December of the 13th year of Jian'an (208 years), Liu Bei joined forces with Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Cheng Pu to lead an allied force that defeated Cao Cao in Chibi. Liu Bei and the Wu army advanced by land and water and pursued them to Nanjun. However, there was an epidemic and many northern troops died. Cao Cao

He led the army back to the north, leaving Cao Ren to guard Nanjun.

In the 14th year of Jian'an (209), Liu Bei and Zhou Yu jointly attacked Cao Ren in Nanjun, forcing Cao Ren to retreat in Jiangling City. Because Jiangling City was strong and difficult to conquer for a while, Liu Bei led his troops to conquer the four southern counties of Jingzhou. Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling,

Han Xuan, the governor of Changsha, Zhao Fan, the governor of Guiyang, and Liu Du, the governor of Lingling, all surrendered. Lei Xu of Lujiang County led tens of thousands of private armed forces to submit. Liu Qi died of illness, and his subordinates elected Liu Bei as the pastor of Jingzhou, and his headquarters was located in Gong'an County.

Sun Quan married his sister to Liu Bei to consolidate the relationship between the two parties. Only then did he gradually achieve great success, unlike before, which was like a lost dog...
