Liu Bei grew up in mixed society, and usually had a knight-errant style. Young and Dangerous boy Chen Haonan's classic saying states that there are three conditions for a mixed society: ruthlessness, loyalty, and many brothers. Liu Bei meets all three conditions. What do you think of the force value of a leading brother like him?
In The Legend of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei killed ordinary people at the level of governors and generals as if they were eating vegetables, and he passed them all off in one go. Liu Bei personally led his troops into battles, and when he rushed forward, he was reckless. The reason why he couldn't defeat Cao Cao in the early stage was because Cao Cao had more soldiers. In the later stage, can you see that Cao Cao can still defeat Liu Bei head-on?
You don’t know how ruthless Liu Bei’s army is without reading the official history. The military advisers personally led the troops to attack the city. This is how Pang Tong died in history. Liu Bei casually promoted an old man who was about to retire, and said that he would "attack the city and conquer the enemy, and his courage and courage will lead the three armies." A 70-year-old man shouted wildly for war, rushed into the crowd and killed Xia Houyuan, the deputy commander of Cao's army. Cao's army was defeated and the whole valley was filled with joy. The first thing Liu Bei said after hearing this was to say bitterly, "Killing Xia Houyuan is nothing, I haven't hacked Zhang Jaw to death yet!"
You have to think about how scary this scene is.
The reason why there are few descriptions in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is because this novel ostensibly respects Liu and suppresses Cao, but actually the opposite is true. Liu Bei was hacked too hard. Historically, Liu Bei exchanged three counties of Jingnan for Sun Quan's half of the south. They were all accused of borrowing Jingzhou without repaying it, which completely downplayed the severity of Sun Quan's betrayal and sneak attack on Jingzhou. It was simply despicable.
