Liu Bei, the founding emperor of the Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, can be a great barracks officer in Evony. Previously, Jiang Ziya was considered the strongest general for barracks duty. So, is Liu Bei stronger than Jiang Ziya? This article will help you assess Liu Bei’s strength and usage by comparing his maximum-level attributes.
Liu Bei’s Background
Liu Bei emerged during the waning days of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Despite humble beginnings, he was a descendant of the noble King Jing of Zhongshan. Driven by a sense of righteousness, Liu Bei formed alliances with heroes across the land. As northern warlords sought control, Liu Bei and his southern allies stood in opposition.
In 208 AD, the Battle of Red Cliff became a turning point. Facing overwhelming odds, Liu Bei remained calm. He used the power of nature to his advantage, launching a brilliant fire attack that destroyed the enemy fleet. The night sky was lit as flames engulfed their ships, turning them into fiery dragons. The enemy, in disarray, fled in terror.
This victory highlighted Liu Bei’s wisdom and courage, securing his place in history. In 221 AD, he crowned himself emperor of the Shu Han, rising from a wandering noble to a revered founding ruler.
