Fun fact: Cao Cao killed his doctor who was the first person to ever come up with a method of doing brain surgeries. When he heard that he’s gonna open his brain, Cao Cao killed him. Then he died.

[@robot2374]

[@jamesl1157]

The famous doctor cao cao summoned (by force) suggested using an axe to crack his skull open, so he can evaluate the pain and assess it. Cao cao who is known to be always suspicious of everything was furious upon hearing it, and locked him up in prison, where he later died

So on how the allies fell out on who should own that territory, the simplified story is basically that Liu Bei borrowed it from Sun Quan and refused to give it back. It is so famous that there is a Chinese adages called Liu Bei borrowing Jing Zhou (the name of that piece of land) that basically means never returning what you borrowed. In Chinese it is 刘备借荆州，有借无还

Fun fact: Cao Cao died on March 15 220 A.D (just like Caesar). Those two were very similar actually: both were tactics, great military conquers, playboys, etc. Most importantly, Caesar pushed the Roman Republic to decline but never became an emperor himself (which Augustus did). Similarly, Cao Cao made the classical Han dynasty his puppet yet never declared himself the new emperor (which his son did).

[@Liz.CottageCore]

I bet Cao Cao would have been so mad at his son if they would ever be reunited. “I built all this up, and even had the EMPEROR as my freaking puppet, and you decided to take control?!” “Uh… yea, being emperor is fun” **loses the war**

[@kyuven]

Also happened over in japan twice. Neither Oda Nobunaga nor Hideyoshi Toyotomi were officially shogun, but their successor Ieyasu Tokugawa took the title...then gave it up a couple years later to his son. Which ended up being a great decision long term and allowed 250 years of Tokugawa rule, since there was no succession crisis unlike with Toyotomi and Oda.

[@scottingalls8460]

Sima Yan became the next Emperor after the fall of Han. Cao Pi was the first leader of the Cao Wei region during the Three Kingdoms period. Sima Yan forced Cao Huan to abdicate. Then Yan united China under the Jin Dynasty

It mostly isn't. The characters are mostly real people, and the broad strokes of the events are real, but the games are based on the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, written in the Ming Dynasty, which is a fictionalized and--as you might guess--highly romanticized telling of this period. It's not the most historically accurate work, although the broad strokes are right. And it's got more of a narrative arc with clear heroes and villains that makes for better adapting into a video game than real history. After all, irl ALL of these dudes were vicious, opportunistic warlords.

I'm Persian(from Iran) and i'm a crazy fan of Three kingdoms period since i watched the TV series "Three Kingdoms(2010)". I know most of the important figures and heros of this period. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Sima Yi, etc. The story of Liu-Guan-Zhang brotherhood(Oath of the Peach Garden) is popular in my country.

[@ZTseng]

11:05 Small fact: While one of Cao Cao’s men(Wang Bi) did persuade him on just executing Lu Bu, Liu Bei also persuaded him, Cao Cao asked for his opinion and Liu Bei just asked him that “You forgot about Ding Yuan(The first guy Lu Bu worked for, which Lu Bu eventually betrayed and killed) and Dong Zhuo?”

[@mistertaz94]

Apparently it was how he presented that question that was entertaining to Cao Cao. It apparently went along the lines of "Lu Bu was first the son of Ding Yuan, he then became the son of Dong Zhou. Today, I invite you Cao Mengde to become Lu Bu's third father." Amused Cao Cao mocked Lu Bu in his bindings and had him executed shortly after. He did however take Lu Bu's greatest general Zhang Liao into his service as a consolation prize. Zhang Liao then proved to be one of Cao Caos most valuable generals who was so feared by the Southlands that they after a battle where he decimated Sun Quans forces so badly that he was terrified of the idea of a Northern Invasion invoking Zhang Liaos wrath that they never launched a full northern campaign until after they confirmed he had died of illness.
