5 unusual facts about Liu Shan


Liu Shan

Liu Shan is first introduced as a playable character in the seventh instalment of Koei's Dynasty Warriors video game series.

Liu Shan eventually surrendered to Wei in 263 after Deng Ai led a surprise attack on the Shu capital Chengdu.

After defeating Zhuge Zhan there, Deng Ai had virtually no Shu troops left between his army and the Shu capital Chengdu.

In the following year, Liu Bei left the capital Chengdu on a campaign against Sun Quan, who had sent his general Lü Meng to invade and seize Jing Province from Liu Bei in 219.

Shu Han

Liu Bei was succeeded by his son, Liu Shan, making him the youngest of three rulers at only 16.


Sun Xiu

Sun Xiu sent two separate forces, one attacking Shouchun and one heading toward Hanzhong to try to alleviate pressures on Shu Han, but neither was at all successful, and Shu Han's capital Chengdu and its emperor Liu Shan surrendered later that year without having received major help from Eastern Wu.
