Liu Bei - died of depression in Baidi City
Liu Bei's life was full of calamities, but he had no dangers, and he was able to turn misfortune into good fortune every time he went to the east and the west. In Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's command to make a living, the horse jumped Tanxi; from the Dongwu embraced the beauty of the whole body; and Pang Tong switched horses and escaped from death.... He was supposed to take down Xichuan and then become the emperor, and the good times started to come, but in order to avenge his brother, Guan Yu, he raised a huge army to attack Wu. It's true. He'd have been wrong if he'd acted rashly. If he had been as cunning as Cao Cao, perhaps Wu would have been destroyed. His own military advisor had already made Cao Cao suffer more than once, but he didn't realize he wasn't on his guard. In the end, he was defeated at Baidi City and died of depression.
In the winter of 219 A.D., Guan Yu lost Jingzhou in a northern attack on Xiangfan and was captured and killed by Sun Quan. In order to recapture Jingzhou and avenge the death of Guan Yu, Liu Bei deployed an eastward expedition to conquer Wu immediately after he was proclaimed emperor in Chengdu in the summer and April of 221 A.D. In July of the fall, Liu Bei personally led a group of soldiers to conquer Wu. In July of the fall, Liu Bei led the Shu army eastward. In February of the following year, led the army from zigui to yiling, do not want to encounter in the intimidation of the Wu army stubborn resistance, can not move forward. The two armies held each other for several months, but Lu Xun burned down his camp and suffered a great defeat. Liu Bei retreated to Baidi City, then moved to Yong'an County, and died in Yong'an Palace in April of the summer of 223 after entrusting the orphan to Zhuge Liang.
Baidi City is located in the east of Yong'an County, was a military fortress, Liu Bei's defeat had troops here. The biography of the late lord mentioned: "Sun Quan heard that the late lord lived in Baidi, very fearful, sent an envoy to ask for peace, the late lord allowed it". At that time, Liu Bei was already sick, and it was impossible for him to take back Jingzhou. Given that the two sides had already made peace again, Liu Bei moved from Baidi to Yong'an in order to rest and recuperate from his illness. Yongan County was originally known as the fish belly county, "the first master biography" clearly contained: yiling battle, Liu Bei "by the road back to the fish belly, change the fish belly county said Yongan." The biography of the first master" and "Zhuge Liang biography" are contained: Liu Bei is seriously ill, called Zhuge Liang "from Chengdu to Yongan".
According to Pei Songzhi's "biography of the first master" cited Chen Shou "Zhuge Liang set" contained, Liu Bei to Liu Zen's "last edict" said that he first dysentery, and later mixed with other illnesses, and even can not be cured.
Some historians believe that Liu Bei's eastern expedition, poor sanitation, especially by Lu Xun fire attack plan to defeat the Shu army killed and wounded, the river stuffed with corpses, but also at the height of the summer in June, prone to dysentery and other infectious diseases. But Liu Bei died of illness, but also in the military suffered the loss of Jingzhou and Yiling defeat of the double blow of the reason - due to the loss of Jingzhou, Liu Bei wrath to the Wu, the results of the defeat to the young commander Lu Xun under the Wu, and lost so badly, the old wrath is not yet snowed, and then add a new shame, see according to the Jing, Yi in order to chart the world's aspirations will come to naught as the heart of a generation of lords who want to As a generation of lords who want to restore the Han Dynasty, how can they stand it? So depressed and depressed, disease, drink hate death.
