Following the Han Dynasty

AD 189 In August, ten ministers assassinated He Jin. Later, the Yuan brothers invaded the imperial city and killed the eunuchs, causing the emperor and King Chenliu to live in Beimang, where they were kidnapped by Dong Zhuo. Because of the abolition of Li, Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo quarreled and then fled to Jizhou. In September, Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor as King Hongnong and established King Chenliu as emperor. He killed the Queen Mother He, opened He Miao's coffin, cut it into pieces and abandoned it by the roadside. At the same time, he killed He Miao's mother Wuyang Jun. In October, Baibo bandits invaded Hedong, and Dong Zhuo sent his son-in-law Niu Fu to suppress them. In November, Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself Prime Minister. In December, Han Fu was appointed as the shepherd of Jizhou, Liu Dai as the governor of Yanzhou, Kong Min as the governor of Yuzhou, Zhang Miao as the governor of Chenliu, Zhang Zi as the governor of Nanyang, Yuan Shao as the governor of Bohai, Yuan Shu as the rear general, and Cao Cao as the Xiaoqi captain. Soon, Yuan Shu fled to Nanyang, and Cao Cao fled to Chenliu, where he dispersed his family wealth and recruited five thousand soldiers. AD 190 In the first month of the first month, the prefectures and counties in Guandong raised troops to attack Dong and elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang stationed troops in Hanoi, and Han Fu, the herdsman of Jizhou, provided food and grass. Kong Yu, the governor of Yuzhou, stationed troops in Yingchuan. Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling, Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, and Cao Cao stationed troops in jujube. Later general Yuan Shu stationed troops in Luyang. In February, the capital was moved to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo personally led the army and cut off the rear in Luoyang. At the same time, all the wealthy families in Luoyang City were killed, their property confiscated, and millions of people were driven to move to Chang'an. Along the way, they trampled on each other, starved and looted, and filled the road with corpses. Then, all the palaces, temples, government offices, and homes were burned down. Within hundreds of miles, all the houses and houses were destroyed, and no chickens or dogs were left... He ordered Lu Bu to excavate the imperial mausoleums of the Eastern Han Dynasty royal family and the tombs of high-ranking officials and collect their treasures. In March, the emperor's carriage entered Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji, and more than fifty people of the Yuan family in Luoyang. Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, raised his troops and went north, killing Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang, and joined forces with Yuan Shu to occupy Nanyang. Liu Biao, the middle prince of the Northern Army, was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou. He entered Yicheng alone, recruited celebrities from Nanjun, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, controlled Xiangyang, and subdued all counties. Cao Cao and Wei Zi led their troops to the west, encountered Xu Rong at Bianshui in Xingyang, and returned with a heavy defeat. In June, Dong Zhuo sent Han Rong, Yin Xiu, Hu Wuban and others to the Guandong camp to plead for reconciliation. However, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu took the envoys into custody and killed them all. In the winter, Wang Kuang of Hanoi marched to Heyangjin, but was attacked by Dong Zhuo and returned in defeat. The coalition forces stationed at the Suanzao Camp ran out of food and dispersed. Liu Dai and Qiao Mao were hostile to each other and killed him. AD 191 In February, Sun Jian was first defeated by Xu Rong, then defeated the coalition forces of Lu Bu and Hu Zhen, and killed Hua Xiong. Then, Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo fought between the imperial mausoleums and defeated him. They then advanced to Luoyang and defeated Lu Bu. Sun Jian cleaned up the ancestral temple in Luoyang, built a temple in Tailuo, and obtained the jade seal passed down to the country. In April, Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an. Yuan Shao forced Han Fu away and took charge of Jizhou as herdsman. Sun Jian went south to attack Liu Biao, but was shot dead by Huang Zu.

I shouldn't be a eunuch, otherwise I'll send you the blade

Although it is true to say that "golden horns and silver-edged grass belly" is true, and Qingzhou has the advantage of fish and salt and is adjacent to the sea to the east and Mount Tai to the west, the power of the aristocratic families is weak, but the shortcomings are also obvious. First of all, it is surrounded by powerful forces, including Gongsun Zan in the north, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the west, and Tao Qian in the south. To the west of Mount Tai is the Hebei Plain and Huanghuai Plain, which are basically undefeable, which is not conducive to later expansion. There is also a lack of pasture to cultivate cavalry and war horses, which is fatal in the cold weapon era. Moreover, the battlefields from east to west are all mountains and hills, and the casualties from attacking from above are too high. Therefore, in history, there has never been a dynasty that unified the country from west to east. In fact, I think it is more perfect to use Liaodong as the foundation. It is far away from the Central Plains, relatively stable, and there is Shanhaiguan to defend it. And there is Gongsun Zan as a shield. You can also reach Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou by sea, which are places where you can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. Didn't the Gongsun family serve as local emperors there for decades? Gongsun Du didn't take office until 190. Liu Bei completely cut off his Liaodong governor. Moreover, there was the Northeast Plain to the east, which could recruit refugees to develop, so that there would be a stable granary, and there were Xianbei and Wuhuan to the north, where they could train cavalry and plunder war horses. Isn't this more suitable for foundation business than Qingzhou? Of course, this is just my personal opinion. If there is anything wrong, please correct me.

Today, when Beihei is so popular, it is not easy to read a book with Liu Bei as the protagonist. The overall style of the whole text is humorous, without the weight of traditional historical texts in the past. It is funny but moderate, and sometimes it can make people smile. But it can also be seen that the author has worked hard on history. The events in the book basically follow historical facts. Some of the characters who have appeared so far are not well known to the world in the Three Kingdoms. I personally like Liu Bei better, and Liu Bei in the book also subverts the previous image of "hypocrite". There are some scoundrels, one can even say shameless, which fits his image of a knight-errant in his early years. He is "quite like the great ancestor", but we can also see his ambition to save the world's common people. The farming strategies and inventions inside were also very in line with the needs of that era, and they were not just things like glass gunpowder. But the characterizations of other characters are thin and homogeneous. Anyway, it's just that the protagonist doesn't like it. Apart from the protagonist, there are basically no impressive characters. It may be that the author's writing is not strong enough, so I suggest adding more interactions with other supporting characters. But overall it's worth watching. Come on, author!

I feel that Liu Bei has too few talents who can take charge of their own affairs. Every time something happens, only those few people can solve the problem.

Writing about Uncle Liu Huang should start from the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in 184. Liu Bei was only 23 years old at that time. There were five years of planning before the death of Emperor Ling in 189. He was 28 years old at that time. Unlike now, when he is 28 years old, he has no territory and few talents. It is best to pacify the world before the age of 35. At that time, an upright man can still do a lot of things. If he is too old, he will have nothing to see.
