Taoyuan Sanjieyi, three battles with Lu Bu, cooking wine on the hero, cottage visit, Baidicheng entrust an orphan, etc.

1. "Three sworn meanings in Taoyuan"-At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the political corruption of the imperial court, coupled with years of famine, made people's lives very difficult. Liu Bei intends to save the people, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are also willing to do something with Liu Bei. The three of them hit it off and chose Zhangfeizhuang as the Peach Blossom Garden. At this time, the peach blossoms are in full bloom and the scenery is beautiful. Zhang Fei prepared a green cow and a white horse as sacrifices, burned incense and prayed, and took the oath. Three people recognized their brother by their age. Liu Bei became the eldest brother, Guan Yu the second and Zhang Fei the third.

2. "Three British Wars against Lyu3 bu4"-Let Dong Lianjun March into Hulao Pass, but he was stopped by Lyu3 bu4, the best general in the world. Allied generals suffered heavy casualties. Seeing the defeat of Gongsun Zan, Zhang Feiting attacked with eight steel guns, but he couldn't fight; Guan Yu attacked Lu Bu with a dragon crescent moon blade and was invincible; Liu Bei attacked with double swords, and the three brothers surrounded Lu Bu, playing like lanterns. The Eighth Route Army was stunned, and Lu Bu was exhausted and defeated.

3. "Boiling Wine on Heroes"-During the Three Kingdoms period, Dong and Liu Bei formed an alliance to jointly get rid of Cao. Liu Bei was afraid of Cao Cao's suspicion and watered the beans every day. When Cao Cao heard about it, he set up a monkey: set up a plum and cook wine in a bottle. The two sat opposite each other and drank heartily. Talk about heroes in the world. When Cao Cao said, "Heroes in the world only listen to their ears," Liu Bei was shocked. The sunny weather suddenly thundered. Liu Bei concealed Cao Cao's doubts by being timid and afraid of thunder, and asked him to suppress Yuan Shu. Then Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrived to get away. At that time, Cao Cao tentatively gave a banquet, while Liu Bei was fearful, hoping not to arouse Cao Cao's suspicion.

Liu Bei's deliberate cover-up made Cao Cao relax his vigilance and no longer doubt Liu Bei. Later, together with Sun Quan, Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao in Battle of Red Cliffs, which broke the unified situation and started a new era-The Three Kingdoms.

4. "Visiting the Cottage"-Liu Bei admired Zhuge Liang's talent and wanted to invite him out of the mountain to help him unify the country. The three men came to Longzhong for the first time. When they learned that Kongming was away, they were very disappointed. The second time, Liu Bei heard that Zhuge Liang was back, and immediately had a horse prepared. When he arrived at the hut, Zhuge Liang was still not there, and the three of them went home disgruntled.

Spring has come, and Liu Bei plans to visit Kong Ming three times. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are impatient. Three people went to Longzhong for the third time and came to the hut. Liu Bei knew Zhuge Liang was sleeping and waited for him. When Kong Ming woke up, the two of them saluted and talked about some state affairs. Liu Bei invited him again and again. Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei cared about the shanzhai and was sincere, so he agreed to Liu Bei.

5. "Baidicheng entrusted orphans"-After Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and was killed, Liu Bei was filled with indignation, and dispatch troops attacked Wu and vowed to "ping Dongwu". Unexpectedly, it was razed to the ground by Lu Xun of Soochow. Defeated, fled to Baidicheng, depression became a disease, and his life was hanging by a thread. So he called the minister to bury him and gave Zhuge Liang the Zen. And said that if Liu Chan failed, Zhuge could take his place.

Liu Bei (161-June10,223), namely Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty (reigned 22 1-223), also known as the ancestor, whose real name was Xuande, was born in Zhuoxian County, Youzhou County (now Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province) at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

As a teenager, Liu Bei took Lu Zhi as his teacher. In his early years, he was displaced and went through hardships. He once took refuge in many governors and participated in suppressing the yellow turban insurrectionary uprising. Has led troops to rescue Beihai Kong Rong and Xuzhou Tao Qian. After Tao Qian died, he gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei. Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei and Sun Quan defeated Cao Cao and captured Jingzhou. Then forge ahead and make a profit. In the first year of Zhangwu (22 1), he proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, with the title of Han, which was called Shu or Shu in history.

The reflection commented that Liu Bei's mechanical strength was not as good as Cao Cao's, but he was generous, knowledgeable and persistent, and eventually became an emperor. Liu Bei also said that he succeeded in doing things "every time he opposed Cao Cao."

In the third year of Zhangwu (223), Liu Bei died of illness in Baidicheng at the age of 63. He is posthumous title Zhaolie, with a fierce temple name, and was buried in Hui Ling. There are many literary and artistic works about him in later generations. Wuhou Temple in Chengdu commemorates Zhaolie Temple.

Liu Bei established the Shu-Han regime in Sichuan. At that time, Sichuan's traffic was relatively backward and there were many mountain roads. Liu Bei and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang made great contributions to the development of Sichuan postal service.

After Liu Bei established the Han Dynasty, in order to deal with Cao Wei in the north, he established a military base for the Northern Expedition in Hanzhong area. In order to get through the main military traffic routes, four main roads were opened between Sichuan and Hanzhong, namely the famous Ziwu Road, Luo Luo Lu Road, Xiexie Road and Jinniu Road. Shu Han also established Baishui Pass, which is an important military pass in Hanzhong. The mountains around Baishuiguan are covered with beacon towers.

A series of pavilions were set up within 400 miles from Baishuiguan to Chengdu, the capital of China, to ensure the normal operation of the post office. In Jingzhou area bordering Wu Dong, General Guan Yu also set up a military communication hall along the Yangtze River, and the beacon tower reached the front line of Xiangfan from the rear.

Wei in the north and Wu in the east. According to historical records, Xu Jing, a famous scholar, wrote letters to his old friends in the north, such as Hua Xin and Wang Lang, ministers of Wei, to "make good use of the old friends". There is a letter to Xu Jing from Wang Lang quoted from the reflection of Wei Lue, saying that "there was a book the previous summer but it didn't arrive, but now there is a book that leads to the previous topic".

Other ministers of Wei and some ministers of Shu and Han corresponded frequently. On one occasion, Chen Qun, an official of Wei State and a servant of Shangshu, wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang asking about Liu Ba, an official. There are more friendly letters between Shu Han and Wu, and Kyle told the general of Wu when he was on a mission to Wu. Zhuge Liang often writes to his younger brother Zhu Gejin and general Lu Xun.

The characteristic of Shuhan Post is that there is almost no car delivery, and most of the postal services are delivered by mail horse. People who do this work are called "post people". This is probably because Shu is located in the southwest, mostly in remote mountainous areas, with uneven roads.
