Three Kingdoms: Wolong's Brother-in-Law Tricks Liu Bei into Seizing Jingzhou

To say that Liu Bei was a hypocrite is not as accurate as saying that he was a mirror! You are what you are, and that's how you see Liu Bei.

The protagonist is clueless; he's the emperor of the Liu family, the prime minister of the Xiao family, and he directly marries Lü Bu's daughter to complete the Lü family's empress line. Most people would be completely bewildered by this.

Many people seem to underestimate Liu Biao. Was it really that simple for someone who single-handedly conquered Jingzhou and held it firmly for twenty years? When Liu Biao was governor of Jingzhou, he even extended his influence to Yizhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou, making him one of the top ten most powerful rulers in the chaotic Three Kingdoms period.

Those who call Liu Bei a hypocrite, do they know that Cao Cao massacred cities eight times and his subordinates massacred them four times, while Liu Bei and his subordinates never massacred a single city? As ordinary citizens today, isn't it obvious who the gentleman is?

Cao Cao massacred Xuzhou, Pengcheng, Yongqiu, Xingcheng, Wancheng, Zhangcheng, Yecheng, Xiangben, Yuzhou, Xuchang, Liucheng, Taiyuan, and Ancheng. Xiahou Yuan massacred cities twice, and Cao Ren and Cao Chun massacred cities three times... Read less Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

Fun fact: Cao Cao frequently used human flesh as food and often massacred entire cities, which is why he is disliked by most people and has a low historical reputation. It wasn't that he held the emperor hostage to command the other lords; after all, there were too many rebellions. Except for the first dynasty, every dynasty after it rebelled against its predecessor.

Going to Jingzhou ahead of time? Are you kidding me? Liu Biao wasn't old yet, Jingzhou was still a unified force, and even Huang Zhong could only be a minor general. Liu Bei's reputation was built up over a decade of wandering. If it weren't for the imperial edict later, who would have given up their position?

If you're writing about the Three Kingdoms and you don't become the lord yourself, but instead acknowledge someone else as your lord, then what's the point of reading it...?

Fun fact: In historical records, Zhuge Liang's two older sisters married into the Kuai family (Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue) and the Cai family (Cai Mao), two of the four major families in Jingzhou. He himself married into the Huang family (Huang Chengyan's daughter), and his friend was from the Pang family (Pang Tong).

Whether in official history or fiction, the massacre of cities after the war and the use of sheep as military rations are things that no warlord except Liu Bei has ever done. It is said that Liu Bei was a gentleman his whole life and he was not wrong. Even if he was a true gentleman, he was still a gentleman. If there had been no Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms period, it would have just been another Five Barbarian Tribes and Jin Dynasty.
