Warlords of the Three Kingdoms - Liu Bei 

Hell be remembered as a shoemaker

Andrew Farrell he is a warlord but no, he is remembered as a *shoemaker*

Hahah historically renowned shoe maker

Thats amazing

I've seen this while studying Chinese in Chengdu

his kingdom was called Shu Han, or "new Han". While he claimed the overall Han throne, he had no control over the Wu and Wei kingdoms so he could only really claim "Shu"

@@SantomPh thank you dude. I've tried explaining this 1000 times to people but they dont understand. He had no choice but to call himself an emperor at that point because that title came with respect...respect=power even if you dont want to take the title (which he didn't)

​@@SantomPh The dynasty proclaimed by Liu Bei was Han. At that time, people of Han dynasty knew that Cao Pi usurped the throne and murdered the emperor of the Han. The Eastern Han Dynasty had been wiped out and no longer existed. Therefore, Liu Bei, as a descendant of the Han Dynasty, should rised the banner of the Han Dynasty with righteous . He represents the orthodoxy, and he represents the destiny of ancient gods. To distinguish, historians call this dynasty the "Ji Han/Third Han/季汉". Western Han, Eastern Han,Third Han, like this. Although Ji Han did not unify the land, from a legal point of view, it actually was the Han Dynasty, just like if Germany annex France into its territory during World War II, then free France could be France. Throughout at the Jihan period, its people and officers called their empire Han, and “Han" is also written in its war banner. It's just that the enemies refused to admit it, insisting that it was 蜀汉/Shuhan.

@@SantomPh Liu Bei's regime is located in Shu. In order to make distinctions and out of habit, people in later generations gradually called it the Shu Han . But at the era when Liu Bei became the emperor, he proclaim his regime Han. He indeed inherited Han in the legal sense. According to the concepts of the people at that time and the dynasty tradition of Chinese civilization, it actually was Han,not Shu Han,not Shu.

Yeah is 季汉

His sandals must have been one of the most popular localbrands. 😆

In fact, his wealthy relatives thought he was smart and funded him to go to school, but he didn't like to study and dropped out halfway.

Probably Zhuge propaganda 100% also Guan Yi and Zhang Fei cannot simply have their top tier skils being peasants.

@@SeisoPervert The three kingdoms records were compiled by Jin, how can they be Zhuge propaganda? Did he somehow travel in time? Lol.

I speculate that you're a Cao Cao fan and that your post is made up bs to try to downplay Liu Bei's rise from humble origins.

my reaction exactly after watching another vid with not so great pronunciation

It doesn't matter, really. There are tons of Chinese dialects and even Korean, Japanese pronunciation are vastly different.

Would be pretty bad if a chinese guy couldnt pronounce them correctly

cow cow

It's Mandarin - more like a Manchu- Beijing dialect. Old Chinese sounded more like Cantonese, Japanese Kanji pronounce and Han-viet pronounce.

Roy Riley, Yes, exactly🤩!!!

"all histoy fans are living a dream" Romance of the Three Kingdoms games: ARE WE A JOKE TO YOU?!?!?

@@CoffeeSuccubus History fans: Yes

Other than the existence of dragons and the army of the dead in Westeros, the two stories have a lot of similarities.

@@Lennis01 If by similarities you mean like how both a hot dog and an 8 ounce steak contain meat, then yes

The HRE: You have no idea.

@@denniseggert211 Fair point. The Holy Roman Empire was a complex mess of semi-autonomous/semi-independent states with its central authority gradually imploding all the way to its demise during the Napoleonic wars. "HRE...not holy, not Roman, and not an empire"

I can image the laughing Cao Cao scene whenever that happens.

He's also patron god of the triads. *And* the police

IT MUST BE

to be fair Liu Bei has chronic backstabbing disorder himself, soooo...

I think his logic was that he needed Lu Bu, even if he distrusts Lu Bu, so he let Lu Bu joined him. But then Lu Bu had plans and backstabbed Liu Bei just like he did to everyone else. So, it wasnt that Liu Bei trusted Lu Bu, but that he needed Lu Bu and his strength for his gains.

Liu bei betrayed cao cao, yuan shao, liu zhang, he was hypocrite

At least based on the novel. Letting the jackass to backstab oneself is not a bad idea if you gain reputation to be benevolent by helping even a jackass.

When you have a marauding army in your territory and cutthroat neighbors eyeing your lands, you're kind of left with no choice. The strategy was to give Lu Bu a small buffer state as a deterrence against Cao Cao and to keep Lu Bu in check. Ultimately Liu Bei was screwed over by his sworn brother/general Zhang Fei who is always drunk and abusing their officers. Eventually the officers rebelled while Liu Bei is away and hands over the province to Lu Bu on a silver platter. RIP Liu Bei w/ the poor leadership.

This time I am this late and China is still divided

Just wait a little longer and it will be united. Thus it has ever been.

Last time I was this late, the Russians were marching to link up with the Austrians, but the Austrians had surrendered to Napoleon.

Still Divided.

This could be anywhere from half a century to millennia lol

Thanks! Glad to hear you appreciated it : )

The mix up with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao is on me. John had it correctly as Yuan Shu but I edited it as Yuan Shao as I thought that was correct.

lu bu and liu bei both betrayed each other more or less

@@InvictaHistory Yuan Shu is the brother of Yuan Shao. But he is in the south of Liu Bei, and actually the two brothers hated each other

@@InvictaHistory Good on you for admitting to a mistake. As Shakespeare had written, "A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool." I know it may seem out of context, but the idea here is that a wise man knows when he has failed, admits to it, and then learns from it. There is no such thing as success, if you have never known failure.

cao cao already death before liu bei declare himself as emperor

I don't think so, would be surprising if anyone spared civilians who got in their way in ancient China. Human shields simply wouldn't have worked

@@sturgeon.vibess4354 I guess so, was watching another channel like Cool History Bros during their special about "Historical Liu Bei" CJ mentioned it was common in Ancient China there are chances that conquered city population will be exterminated, just to warn other cities of their enemy to "surrender" next time

No offense but "中国人就说你好"，别用英文装。Cao Cao massacred all the citizens after conquering the city of Xuzhou. So this time, the news came that Cao Cao's army was coming, and all the citizens were willing to follow Liu Bei. And also in real history, Liu Bei did say "成大事者，以民为本" "All great achievements established by whom are based on the people's willingness."

Liu Bei's advisors told him to leave the people behind so he could escape faster and reach Jiangling which was an important stronghold in Jing in order to repel Cao Cao, Liu Bei taking the people with him costed him the chance to do so. So I wonder, what reasoning did you use to reach such a wrong conclusion?

@@jmsm7499 reason could be that since the historian wrote this for Liu Bei, how much of it was actually true, maybe Liu Bei wanted to make himself look good and that he didn't screw up so he wrote how taking the people was an act of benevolence and not as a "human shield" for him, to slow down Cao Cao troops

But if emperor Xi'an stepped down from the throne of Han to take the title of duke doesn't that mean it's vacant? So another liu family member can become Han emperor

Liu Xie, former emperor Xian was under constant watch of Cao's men, he would not let the last Han emperor out of his control. Cao Pi would murder Xian if he smelled treason, and again he did abdicate, so legally he had no more claim to the throne.

Source that emperor Xian became a physician? How exactly do you want Liu Bei to reach the former emperor? Do you think Wei would let him run around without supervision? That Shu envoys would be allowed free transit inside Wei maybe? You sound quite biased.

*drop* *son*

@@kaptenlemper are you referring to when Zhao Zilong went through hell returning Liu Bei's son?

Dapat mimin heheheh kapan bahas ini min?

Wow

One of the english translated books on the water margin that I picked up from the library mentioned a family friend's boy who was also a direct line grandson of the Liu clan residing in Australia.

Kan Ding not true, Bei had three sons

@@kanding3369 :))

So your name starts with Liu

You played the same game as me

Khoihme Musou?

my pleasure : )

they're on to me... gotta scram...

@@InvictaHistory well then finish it so that nobody will be on to you.

Goobfilm cast he makes yearly releases

Shu han actually

@@theeternalslayer No, it was only Han. Shu was added later by historian due to its geographical location to differentiate the different Han states. It is also called Ji Han by historians.

there are so many 3k Total War ad these days

F

Sorry but dem moneez from CA is way too interesting. They literally bought every history channel it seems.

@@Ivan-qf4mt it worked, most preordered total war. gotta say im impressed by the marketing team
