Liu Bei was a distant descendant of the Han emperor [[Liu Bang]], but was born very poor. He first gained notice as leader of a volunteer force in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Afterwards, he was made Governor of Pingyuan County. He had difficulty protecting the land from warlords, and in 196 he surrendered his land and his post to the Emperor. Liu Bei and his generals wandered the land for several years after that. In 202, he received a land grant from his uncle Liu Biao, but the next year he was attacked by [[Cao Cao]] and forced to retreat.
