Why did heaven abandon him and assist the traitors?
Because the mandate of heaven shifted to Cao Cao. The Han by the onset of the yellow scarves rebellion was already a dogshit corrupt bureaucracy where people sold imperial posts for money and the government had its money embezzled to no end and the gentry taxed so heavily that they would gladly revolt and did revolt. Cao Cao unified the central plains which at that point was vastly more populous than the shithole river lands alone. Zhuge Liang and his stupid wars was never ever going to accomplish anything other than waste lives.
>>18754589To add, Wu had the extremely arable Yangtze river delta and Wei had the entire yellow river + hexi corridor for silk road trade whereas Shu had absolutely fucking nothing but Sichuan which although very fertile, is dogshit compared to the other 2. Doesn't help that Zhuge Liang is a complete retard and instead of using his highly defensible region and carving an independent Kingdom with low taxes to grow his population while sailing down the yangtze to conquer Wu, giga taxed his peasants to launch unwinnable invasions against Wei. The most Shu did was cause a localized famine in western Wei by stealing all their grain. Chinks love to hype out Zhuge Liang because he represented the han dynasty whereas Wei represented usurpers and Sima Yi represented Jin, a dogshit dynasty that collapsed and allowed the central plains to be lost to steppeniggers for centuries. In reality, Zhuge Liang was a dumb cunt.
3K is one of those stories where in the modern day, the obvious guys who are clearly right are still presented as bad guys. Cao Cao is still presented as the bad guy, despite he's far closer in reality to the liberal, western, meritocracy ideal, meanwhile Shu Han was literally fighting to restore a hyper corrupt aristocratic regime and nepotism. Same with Napoleon, Julian, Robespierre, Lenin.
>>18754617>e's far closer in reality to the liberal, western, meritocracy idealCao Cao massacred several cities. Sacked them into oblivion and killed every last babe.
>>18754699Did he stutter?
>>18754699And? During the foundation of Former Han and restoration of Later Han hundreds of cities were massacred. Geng Yan alone led the massacre of over 300 cities. Unless you’re saying the reason why Han is good and Wei is evil is that Cao Cao didn’t massacre enough cities?
>>18754880I just don't see Liu Bei slaughtering cities the same way Cao Cao does. Almost as if Liu Bei is trying to restore the realm while Cao Cao is trying to loot it and rape other men's wives.
>>18754880>Cao Cao didn’t massacre enough cities?Exactly. He just didn't want it enough.

>>18755564You don't know what you are talking about, please stop now or you will just end up looking dumber and dumber as the thread goes to its inevitable conclusion.
Dong Zhuo did nothing wrong
>>18756571You're a little faggot. There is a reason why the entirety of ZhongYuan was lost to barbarians after the fall of Han dynasty. Cao Cao is a piece of shit without the mandate of heaven, hence his defeat at Chibi.
