 ( Liu Beis Biography)

Liu Bei was a warlord, military general and later the

founding emperor of the state of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese History. Despite having a later start than his rivals and lacking both the material resources and social status they commanded, Liu Bei overcame his many defeats to carve out his own realm.

14
Liu Bei grew up in a poor family, having lost his father when

he was still a child. Liu Bei was ambitious since childhood: he once said to his peers that he desired to become an emperor. At the age of 14, Liu Bei went to study under the tutelage of Lu Zhi. There he met and befriended Gongsun Zan. Liu Bei was said to be unenthusiastic in studying and liked hunting, music and dressing. Concise in speech, calm in demeanor, and kind to his friends, Liu Bei was well liked by his contemporaries.

Cao Cao tried to conquer all of China for the emperor but in

fact wanted to conquer it for himself. He defeated Liu Bei once at the Battle of Changban in 207 but was not able to win the Battle of Red Cliffs against the united forces of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, a warlord in the South.

Sun Quan granted Liu Bei some land in the West of his

domain, and the two agreed to fight Cao Cao again if necessary. From 211 to 214, Liu Bei conquered the country Ba Shu in the West. Because he had now an empire of his own, Sun Quan demanded his western regions back but Liu Bei declined. This made Sun Quan quite angry.

After several useless battles against Liu Bei's general Guan

Yu, Cao Cao chose to ally with Sun Quan. They attacked Guan Yu with their allied forces and overthrew him in 219. Liu Bei was mad and swore revenge for the death of his brother and the loss of an important part of his empire.

221
When Cao Cao died in 220, his son Cao Pi forced Emperor

Xian of Han to abdicate. Cao Pi declared himself Emperor of the Wei Dynasty. Liu Bei found that offensive, for he was a member of the royal family of Han and considered himself the righteous Emperor of China. That's why he declared himself emperor of the Shu Han in 221. The next year, Sun Quan claimed the title Emperor of Wu for himself.

Liu Bei was really mad at Sun Quan's arrogance. In 222 he

opposed him in the Battle of Yiling but failed due to Lu Xun's (a Wu general) great tactics. After his defeat Liu Bei got ill and died a year later. His son Liu Shan followed him as emperor.
