History[]

When Cao Cao left the Yuan family, Liu Bei urged Liu Biao to attack Xuchang, but Liu Biao was hesitant and did not attack. Before his death, he decided to let Liu Qi become his successor, but Cai Mao prevented Liu Qi from seeing his father.
Liu Bei sought refuge under the guidance of Liu Biao and was greatly welcomed. However, Liu Biao suspected that Liu Bei did not fully trust him, so he sent him to the North to defend Xinye.
