Liu Bei's interpersonal relationships

Liu Bei's interpersonal relationships are mainly established through loyalty, emotions, and career investment, rather than through entertaining meals or giving gifts.
Although Liu Bei lacked financial and backstage support in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," he established extensive interpersonal relationships through the following methods:
Loyalty impresses people: Liu Bei is known for his loyalty. He became brothers with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the Peach Garden Oath of Three Bonds, vowing to live and die together and never betray them. Even after becoming emperor, he never forgot his loyalty and personally went on a campaign to avenge his brothers. Liu Bei, when Cao Cao went south to Chibi, disregarded his own safety and persisted in rescuing refugees, winning the hearts of the people
Emotional retention: Liu Bei is known for his generosity and kindness, which contrasts sharply with Cao Cao's toughness and cunning. He was able to establish deep relationships with various figures, such as brotherhood with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as friendship with Zhuge Liang as a ruler and subject. This emotional investment enables him to unite people's hearts and strive together
Career investment: Liu Bei has continuously invested in his career, from joining Cao Cao to forming an alliance with Sun Quan, and then establishing his own regime. Every step shows his persistence and dedication to his career. His integrity and determination make people willing to follow him and strive together
Through these methods, Liu Bei not only established a wide network of interpersonal relationships in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but also laid a solid foundation for his career success.
