readx;?? During the Three Kingdoms period, the number of clan relatives of the Han family was not small, among which the more famous ones were Liu Yu, Liu Dai, Liu Xuan, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Zhang, Liu Bei and Liu Ye, most of whom were princes of one side, and their kinship with the royal family was already relatively far away.

【Distant relatives of the royal family】

Generally speaking, clan relatives mostly refer to immediate relatives within three generations, but those clans that were famous in the late Han Dynasty were basically distant relatives, so they also referred to clan relatives in general.

Among them, Liu Yu is a descendant of Liu Qiang, the king of the East China Sea, and Liu Qiang is the deposed prince of Emperor Guangwu, so he has the closest relationship with the royal family; Liu Dai and Liu Miao are both sons of Liu Yu (Liu Fang), the Taishou of Shanyang, according to the "Book of the Continuation of the Han Dynasty", their grandfather Liu Ben, and their uncle Liu Chong served as Taiwei, and they are no longer traceable; And Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Zhang, father and son are said to be the descendants of Liu Yu, King Lugong of the Western Han Dynasty; Liu Bei said that he was a descendant of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan Jing, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and the other said that Liu Bei was a descendant of the Marquis of Linyi; Liu Ye is the only one who is not a prince, he is a descendant of Liu Yan, the king of Fuling, the son of Emperor Liu Xiu of Guangwu.

The closer ones are the descendants of the sons of Emperor Guangwu in the past, and the farther ones can be traced back to the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, so these Han clan relatives are actually distant relatives of the royal family.

【Benevolence and Righteousness】

In the late Han Dynasty, although they controlled one side, most of them were benevolent and righteous, and they were generally better for the people, of course, there were exceptions.

Like Liu Yu is a typical example, as Zongzheng and Da Sima, he can be said to be the eldest brother of the Han family, this brother went to Youzhou after the border of internal and external troubles directly sublimated into a paradise in the late Han Dynasty, but Liu Yu is a representative of the people, once after he left his job, he returned to his hometown, without putting on a face, and mingling with the villagers.

Liu Biao, as the pastor of Jingzhou, has a good way of seducing, and has both prestige and negotiation, so that the thieves in the territory can also be effective for him, and he is also in Jingzhou to flourish literature, and there are thousands of scholars who have taken refuge in Liu Biao from all over the world.

Although Liu Zhang's ability is average, but he also cares about the people, when Liu Bei invaded, Zheng Du under his command once suggested to Liu Zhang to drag Liu Bei down with a strong wall and clear wilderness, but Liu Zhang refused on the grounds of harming the people, and he also dismissed Zheng Du directly, after Liu Bei surrounded Chengdu, Liu Zhang also surrendered for the people in the city.

As for Liu Bei, he was considered to be the representative of Renjun in later generations, and during the Jian'an period, Cao Cao launched a large-scale crusade against Jingzhou, and the local people even spontaneously followed Liu Bei south, which is extremely rare in China's thousands of years of history, and Liu Bei won the hearts of the people.

In contrast, Liu Yan, Liu Miao and Liu Dai performed more average in this regard.

[Lack of enterprising]

Although these Liu clans in the late Han Dynasty were generally good to the people, they basically had a shortcoming, that is, they were relatively conservative and had no pioneering and enterprising intentions.

For example, the great Sima Liu Yu, Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others hoped to set up another emperor for him, Liu Yu not only did not agree, but scolded them, Liu Yu basically stuck to Youzhou during the Three Kingdoms period, when he crusaded against Gongsun Zhan, because the main force of the other party was not there, his military strength was far above it Gongsun Chan had no chance of winning, but Liu Yu was too virgin, and ordered to kill only Gongsun Zhan alone, not allowed to burn the city, to protect the common people, and was defeated by Gongsun Chan with a fire hundreds of warriors counterattacked, which can be described as a typical counterexample of Ci Bu in charge of the army.

Liu Biao, as the lord of Jingzhou, still successfully held Jingzhou in the situation of enemies on all sides, repelled the attack of Cao Cao and the three generations of the Sun family, and defeated Zhang Xian, Zhang Yi and his son in the south and Zhang Jin, the pastor of Jiaozhou, is definitely not an incompetent person, but Liu Biao also stayed in Jingzhou and did not move, Li Dao's court once let Liu Biao supervise the military of Jiao, Yang, and Yi, and Liu Biao actually did not make a big deal about it.

These things are not isolated cases, such as the late Han Dynasty's Yanzhou assassin Liu Dai did not record the expansion of his sphere of influence beyond Yanzhou; Yangzhou Mu Liu Miao also went around in Yangzhou, and even couldn't hold his own territory in the end; The territory of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son is also in Yizhou, and it has little to do with the two outside of Yizhou.

In contrast, among those princes with foreign surnames, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Tao Qian were all active in expanding their own power. After Cao Cao established himself in Yanzhou, he soon extended his hand into Yuzhou, and finally coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes expand their power to the whole country; After Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he soon took Zang Hong as the Qingzhou Assassin to manage one side, and also took Yuan Yi as the Yangzhou Assassin History, Zhou Ang as the Jiujiang Taishou, and his brother Zhou Xin as the Danyang Taishou, spared no effort to expand his power, and finally occupied the four northern states; Yuan Shu has two ups and downs, and has deep roots in Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou; Although Xuzhou Mu Taoqian did not let his sons come out, but he did not hesitate to expand outward, Yuzhou he sent Liu Bei as the assassin of Yuzhou, Yangzhou also has Wang Lang as the chief inspector.

Not to mention these princes in the Liu family, even Liu Ye, who is not a prince, does not have too strong enterprising spirit, after Liu Ye designed to kill Zheng Bao, he was recommended by Zheng Bao's subordinates as the new leader, but Liu Ye did not want to support the army, and directly entrusted those troops to Lujiang Taishou Liu Xun, and he was also subordinate to Liu Xun.

Relatively speaking, Liu Bei, who was born poor, is already relatively enterprising. Although Liu Bei mainly wandered in the first half of his life, and refused to crusade against Liu Cong, who was unrighteous to him, after Cao Cao went south, after the battle of Chibi and Jiangling, Liu Bei still seemed a little hesitant to expand his power, but in the end it was unambiguous, he took the four counties of Jingnan, took the initiative to come to Nanjun from Sun Quan, and then entered Yizhou under the pretense of dealing with Zhang Lu, killed Liu Zhang and made his own decisions, and then went north to crusade against Hanzhong and defeat Cao Cao, which can be said to be more and more active.

This is also why Liu Yu, Liu Dai, Liu Yan, Liu Xuan, Liu Biao and others are obviously also relatives of the Han family, and they have already controlled one side and have great power, but they were finally caught up by Liu Bei, a declining son.

In troubled times, as a monarch, as a leader, you must have a corresponding enterprising spirit, whether it is a clan or not. When Cao Cao was able to get the Son of Heaven, Dong Cheng and Dong Zhao contributed a lot, but in fact, both of them were Zhang Yang's subordinates earlier, and they had little contact with Cao Cao, and Zhang Yang was still one of the few benevolent and righteous loyal people in the late Han Dynasty, but why was he finally abandoned by his subordinates, because he had no enterprising heart, he didn't eat it when the Son of Heaven sent it to his mouth, and he couldn't see hope or the future under his command, so Er Dong would rather turn his back on him and choose Cao Cao, who was scolded as a hero in later generations.

Why? Cao Cao dares to do it! Under his command there is a future. This is the same for Liu Bei.
