    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.

      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

    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 10 месяцев назад +113

      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.

    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).

      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.

    By the way, there are some famous people this video missed talking about. Here are some of them.
    1. Zhuge Liang: A famous imperial chancellor and politician in Shu who is one of the most strategic people in Chinese History. Bei once came to seek him three times straight because he wanted Zhuge Liang as his advisor. Zhuge Liang is also the reason why Liu Bei won against Cao Cao so many times. He was known for studying people's personalities before devising a plan that can best work out against them. He tricked Cao Cao so many times. When Liu Bei died and his son Liu Shan became emperor, Zhuge Liang took over as a chancellor to keep Shu alive. He devised plans against Sima Yi and defeated him many times, however, because of his weak health he passed away. Liu Shan ended up not knowing what to do and being too lazy to think of anything, and that's how Shu fell.
    2. The Five Tiger Generals, the five most fierce warriors in the kingdom of Shu. Liu Bei has two brothers (brothers as in extremely close friends): Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. They defeated the Yellow Turban rebels together. They also helped Liu Bei defeat Cao Cao in many, many battles. There are also Zhao Yun (apparently, my favorite warrior ever!). He is Liu Bei's protector and is one of the most loyal generals out there. Huang Zhong and Ma Chao are the other two.
    3. Zhou Yu. Probably the best warrior in the kingdom of Wu. He served under Sun Quan's rule. He, Zhuge Liang, and Huang Gai devised the plan to defeat Cao Cao in the Red Cliff Battle. By the way, it wasn't Huang Gai that thought of the burning ship idea. It was Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang. However, Zhou Yu was extremely jealous of Zhuge Liang. After the Red Cliff battle, Zhuge Liang noticed that and got rid of him. Even though they were haters, Zhuge Liang came to weep in Zhou Yu's grave because he thought he was a great warrior.
    In addition, there's an extremely important place in the Three Kingdoms and that place is called Jing Zhou. It is said that if Jing Zhou is conquered, the conquerer would get lots of power. In the entire three kingdoms Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan are actually fighting for Jing Zhou AND the emperor's throne.
    Lol, my hands are tired from typing so much. Plz reply. I've been searching for a video like this for months :) I love your explanation by the way. I'm Chinese and my hometown is in where previously Jing Zhou is located. I know a lot about the Three Kingdoms, since I've been studying them for almost six years now. They are my favorite time period in history.
    Again, PLEASE. REPLY!!!

    • @christophergepullano9029
      @christophergepullano9029 2 месяца назад

      I read some historical accounts of this from a commentor in a dynasty warriors game (Please don't judge 🥹🥹🥹)
      1. Acceptable, but it wasn't just Zhuge Liang who Liu Bei seeked, it was also Pang Tong. In fact, the commentor said 'Seek the Sleeping Dragon and the Fledgling Phoenix and you shall have the country". Liu Bei got them both, but not the whole country itself. Second, yes it's true that Liu Shan's ineptitude and incompetency led to the downfall of Shu, but it's one of the factors; Zhuge Liang also distrusted Wei Yan so much (Wei Yan, as the commentor said, is probably the best military commander in all of Shu, something that not even Zhao Yun, Ma Chao or even Guan Yu could top, maybe only the likes of Zhang Fei or Huang Zhong can); another is because Wei Yan is the one who suggested to build a defensive wall around Shu, but Jiang Wei screwed up by having the wall removed, thus making Deng Ai conquer Shu for good (Though with the help of Zhong Hui)

    • @christophergepullano9029
      @christophergepullano9029 2 месяца назад

      2. The Five Tiger Generals are actually fiction, the commentor said, but was based on top ranks 4 of the top Shu Commanders held: the front General is Guan Yu; right General is Zhang Fei; left General is Ma Chao and the rear General is Huang Zhong. Zhao Yun didn't really do much in history, just mostly acting as a bodyguard for Liu Bei and his family. But at least Zhuge Liang saw potential in him and mourned his death deeply.

    • @christophergepullano9029
      @christophergepullano9029 2 месяца назад

      3. Zhou Yu was from an aristocratic family who befriended Sun Ce in childhood. Also, Zhou Yu and another commander named Lu Su is the reason Wu was established, because during the time that Cao Cao had defeated Yuan Shao and is now on the verge of more conquests, most of Sun Quan's officials begged him to yield to Cao Cao, but Yu and Su told him to resist and seek an alliance with the Shu kingdom, through the marriage of Quan's sister Shangxiang to Liu Bei. In reality, he and Zhuge Liang had nothing to do with each other, they barely knew each other. Plus, Zhou Yu is also married to one of the Qiao sisters, Xiaoqiao the younger, with Sun Ce being married to the older Daqiao. Yu and the younger Qiao had 3 children, in contrast to Ce and the older Qiao who only had a son.

    I watched a cartoon series from 1986 about this epic period in Chinese history.
    I didn't know it was a true story!!
    I was so moved by that series, it was like a planet on its own! Noble feelings, betrayals, tyrannical leaders, intelligence, treachery, all gathered in one place.
    What really saddens me is that no one knows about this human epic..
