Evony general, Liu Bei, the founding emperor of the Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, can be a good barracks officer in the game. Jiang Ziya was previously recognized as the strongest barracks duty general in the game. So, is Liu Bei stronger than him? This article will help you judge Liu Bei’s strength and usage through an introduction to Liu Bei and a comparison of their maximum-level attributes.
Liu Bei’s Background Introduction
In the waning days of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a name destined for greatness emerged: Liu Bei. Though born into humble origins, he was a descendant of the noble King Jing of Zhongshan. With a heart of righteousness, Liu Bei formed alliances with heroes across the land. As northern warlords sought control, Liu Bei, alongside southern allies, faced them in the legendary Battle of Red Cliff.
In the year 208 AD, the winds of change swept across the waters of Red Cliff. As his enemies vastly outnumbered his forces, Liu Bei remained calm. Seizing the power of nature, he devised a brilliant fire attack that decimated the enemy fleet. That night, the river blazed as fire engulfed the enemy ships, turning them into fiery dragons thrashing in the water. The enemy fled in terror, their forces in utter disarray.
This victory showcased Liu Bei’s wisdom and courage, securing his place in history. In 221 AD, Liu Bei crowned himself emperor of the Shu Han, rising from wandering noble to founding ruler, a figure revered to this day.
