    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
      @mistertaz94 3 месяца назад +45

      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.

    Some said that it's a lot to remember. But as a Chinese, I have to say, almost 70% kids like to read books about three countries and there are some TV series about this which are excellent, so many of us feel this period of history interesting, and like to talk about it. By the way, this cartoon is excellent! I have to say that it generalized that period well and basically stated every important event and they are all correct.

    Can we all stop and take a second to recognize that Lu Bu really was unbeatable in head to head matchups. The only time throughout this whole history lessson that he lost was when he defeated Cao Cao’s legion while Cao cao was away, and Cao Cao only won because he returned with reinforcements to push out Lu Bu’s depleted squad. And then Lu Bu retreated back into Liu Beus enemy territory WHILE DEPLETED and completely pushed Liu out. And they ONLY defeated Lu Bu together by combining two armies together to face one STILL DEPLETED ONE! Absolute legend. You REALLY had to jump this man in order to win.
    Also super hilarious that Liu Beu told cao cao not to recruit him because he would betray him. And then AS SOON AS LU BU gets eliminated, liu beu turns on him🤣

    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

    A lot of the “histories” here are sourced from The Romance of The Three Kingdoms (三国演义), which is an excellent book, but lacks historically accurate informations. Most Chinese scholars source informations from the Record of The Three Kingdoms (三国志), which is an official record of dynastic history, instead of an novel like the other book. A lot of informations mentioned in the video, like Diao Chan seducing Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, causing them to betray each other, never actually occurred. In fact, historically, Diao Chan didn’t even exist.

    • @ychou-uz6ei
      @ychou-uz6ei 6 дней назад

      In fact, although the Records of the Three Kingdoms is official, it is not necessarily true considering political factors. I mean, you foreigners should take it as a kind of entertainment. We mainland Chinese also regard it as literary works, because the history of the East is not objective. I hope you know.

      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.

      It's probably because of China's (in the grand scheme of things) "recent" policies that most of the world has no idea about what China is. Most people know that China has been around for a pretty long time and is under communist rule but that's about it. China is seen as the big bad evil , while its history is being glossed over as if it were nothing.

    Great video OverSimplified - One thing that stands out: pictures of each warlord, etc.. would've helped to follow the history a tiny bit, but it's still very interesting and informative. Thanks!

    I like the condensed organization of the Three Kingdoms history and also that you didn't butcher Cao Cao and call him "Cow Cow" like most foreigners. Also, that guy's name who killed Dong Zhuo is "Lwe Bu". The u sometimes make a we ish sound.

      @Ocro555 8 месяцев назад

      Well for Lu Bu... if you make a we-ish sound it'll be like Luwee Bu brother
      It's just Lv Bu. The V sound in Chinese doesn't exist in English (or maybe it does idk can't think of any word rn)
