Liu Bei declared himself the emperor of Han, not Shu. It's like the western historians called the eastern empire Byzantine empire but the Byzantines call themselves Romans.

[@SantomPh]

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"

[@AlexJones-xz8oc]

@@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)

[@wangjiahua1347]

​@@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.

[@wangjiahua1347]

@@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.

I don’t see why liu bei trusted lu bu considering his reputation of betrayal

[@MadcatMashupMayhem]

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

[@PeterP_]

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.

[@winjiro106]

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

[@talezshin]

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.

[@touzwvang2438]

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.

There is no such thing as success, if you have never known failure.

[@alexhess1163]

Liu Bei is definitely the most virtuous of the three kings. He didn't even invade Yi until he was invited.

[@lonelyboyll08]

According to romance, Liu Bei fled to Cao Cao after Lu Bo sieged control of the province. Cao Cao summoned him and asked Liu Bei "who would deserve to be hero in this chaotic time. Liu Bei told Cao Cao several names but Cao Cao shook his head: " there are just you and me" .... Liu Bei was like: "oh shit, this man is going to f*ck me".... that's why Liu Bei will betray Cao Cao later...

[@spartan1010101]

can we just appreciate the historically accurate designs of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's armor and weapons of the time? The Chinese Guandao (glaive) was not a weapon used during this period so Ji halberds and spears were the most likely weapon used by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

[@xlyoutube]

Awesome video. Fun fact about Liu Bei: emperor Xian, the one replaced by Cao Pi, were given land and allowance with a title of Duke of Shanyang and lived on for many years. He later became a devoted physician and helped many in his local area. When Liu Bei declared himself emperor, the true emperor Xian was still very much alive. Historical records show that Emperor Xian heard the news and just laughed out loud without saying anything. If Liu Bei is truly loyal as he had always claimed to be, why did he take the throne instead of asking Emperor Xian? Btw, he declared himself the emperor of Han, not Shu. Shu is a term used by later generations, often use together with Han as "Shu Han" to correctly refer to Liu Bei's reign and set it apart from the Han before him.

[@sukitron5415]

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

[@MrFantocan]

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.

[@jmsm7499]

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.

[@hanchiman]

I always wondered during Liu Bei escaping San Ye with the refugees, make me wonder if Liu Bei actually forced the citizens to go with him as refugee as "human shield" but the romance novel made it sounding beautiful that the citizens are willing to follow Liu Bei

[@sturgeon.vibess4354]

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

[@hanchiman]

@@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

[@ArrivalheRe]

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."

[@jmsm7499]

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?

[@hanchiman]

@@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
