Fun fact: Cao Cao killed his doctor who was the first person to ever come up with a method of doing brain surgeries. When he heard that he’s gonna open his brain, Cao Cao killed him. Then he died.
The famous doctor cao cao summoned (by force) suggested using an axe to crack his skull open, so he can evaluate the pain and assess it. Cao cao who is known to be always suspicious of everything was furious upon hearing it, and locked him up in prison, where he later died
Did you know that OverSimplified actually rickrolled us, viewers, at the intro by having the bird sing "永不会放弃你，永不会放下你“（which translates to, "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down")
苍天已死,黄巾当立 Edit: I did use Google Translate for the old comment. It was a bad idea because the chinese back then was diferent. What up with the likes though? It seems i got some people angry... damn... that is a lot of replies
I don't know if anyone noticed this but I think we got rick rolled at 0:20. 永不会放弃你 永不会放下你 roughly means "never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down".
11:05 Small fact: While one of Cao Cao’s men(Wang Bi) did persuade him on just executing Lu Bu, Liu Bei also persuaded him, Cao Cao asked for his opinion and Liu Bei just asked him that “You forgot about Ding Yuan(The first guy Lu Bu worked for, which Lu Bu eventually betrayed and killed) and Dong Zhuo?”
Apparently it was how he presented that question that was entertaining to Cao Cao. It apparently went along the lines of "Lu Bu was first the son of Ding Yuan, he then became the son of Dong Zhou. Today, I invite you Cao Mengde to become Lu Bu's third father." Amused Cao Cao mocked Lu Bu in his bindings and had him executed shortly after. He did however take Lu Bu's greatest general Zhang Liao into his service as a consolation prize. Zhang Liao then proved to be one of Cao Caos most valuable generals who was so feared by the Southlands that they after a battle where he decimated Sun Quans forces so badly that he was terrified of the idea of a Northern Invasion invoking Zhang Liaos wrath that they never launched a full northern campaign until after they confirmed he had died of illness.
Lu Bu: He protecc He attacc But most importantly, He stabs you in the bacc Also, I wanted to point out that Guan Yu was deified into the God of War after this event. He remains as a prominent figure in Asian culture for good luck and protection from evil/malevolent spirits.
So on how the allies fell out on who should own that territory, the simplified story is basically that Liu Bei borrowed it from Sun Quan and refused to give it back. It is so famous that there is a Chinese adages called Liu Bei borrowing Jing Zhou (the name of that piece of land) that basically means never returning what you borrowed. In Chinese it is 刘备借荆州，有借无还
I think doing the Crisis of the Third Century oversimplified would be good, since it actually took place around the same time as the end of the Three Kingdoms
@@Jimothyjohns there is actually 2 books, one is san guo yan yi (romance of the three kingdom) , which is simplier but has interesting story line, while san guo zhi (Records of the Three Kingdoms) is the actual record of the history.
Fun fact: Cao Cao died on March 15 220 A.D (just like Caesar). Those two were very similar actually: both were tactics, great military conquers, playboys, etc. Most importantly, Caesar pushed the Roman Republic to decline but never became an emperor himself (which Augustus did). Similarly, Cao Cao made the classical Han dynasty his puppet yet never declared himself the new emperor (which his son did).
I bet Cao Cao would have been so mad at his son if they would ever be reunited. “I built all this up, and even had the EMPEROR as my freaking puppet, and you decided to take control?!” “Uh… yea, being emperor is fun” **loses the war**

Great stuff! War of Red Cliff is huge in that part of history. Legend says that they proposed to Cao that by connecting the ships so they can feel like land and soldiers not get sick on them, and they somehow predicted the wind on the day, shoot arrows with fires and burned all connected ships. Fun
omg i know right. I always wondered how they could keep redoing this story but turns out they never even finished it. Man I spent some childhood hours forming plans on how i could survive a battle with lu bu
Can't imagine he had that many men, and he still took huge pieces of land. He's that one guy that just rushes everything and shoots everything in a video game.
By the way, there are some famous people this video missed talking about. Here are some of them. 1. Zhuge Liang: A famous imperial chancellor and politician in Shu who is one of the most strategic people in Chinese History. Bei once came to seek him three times straight because he wanted Zhuge Liang as his advisor. Zhuge Liang is also the reason why Liu Bei won against Cao Cao so many times. He was known for studying people's personalities before devising a plan that can best work out against them. He tricked Cao Cao so many times. When Liu Bei died and his son Liu Shan became emperor, Zhuge Liang took over as a chancellor to keep Shu alive. He devised plans against Sima Yi and defeated him many times, however, because of his weak health he passed away. Liu Shan ended up not knowing what to do and being too lazy to think of anything, and that's how Shu fell. 2. The Five Tiger Generals, the five most fierce warriors in the kingdom of Shu. Liu Bei has two brothers (brothers as in extremely close friends): Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. They defeated the Yellow Turban rebels together. They also helped Liu Bei defeat Cao Cao in many, many battles. There are also Zhao Yun (apparently, my favorite warrior ever!). He is Liu Bei's protector and is one of the most loyal generals out there. Huang Zhong and Ma Chao are the other two. 3. Zhou Yu. Probably the best warrior in the kingdom of Wu. He served under Sun Quan's rule. He, Zhuge Liang, and Huang Gai devised the plan to defeat Cao Cao in the Red Cliff Battle. By the way, it wasn't Huang Gai that thought of the burning ship idea. It was Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang. However, Zhou Yu was extremely jealous of Zhuge Liang. After the Red Cliff battle, Zhuge Liang noticed that and got rid of him. Even though they were haters, Zhuge Liang came to weep in Zhou Yu's grave because he thought he was a great warrior. In addition, there's an extremely important place in the Three Kingdoms and that place is called Jing Zhou. It is said that if Jing Zhou is conquered, the conquerer would get lots of power. In the entire three kingdoms Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan are actually fighting for Jing Zhou AND the emperor's throne. Lol, my hands are tired from typing so much. Plz reply. I've been searching for a video like this for months :) I love your explanation by the way. I'm Chinese and my hometown is in where previously Jing Zhou is located. I know a lot about the Three Kingdoms, since I've been studying them for almost six years now. They are my favorite time period in history. Again, PLEASE. REPLY!!!
I read some historical accounts of this from a commentor in a dynasty warriors game (Please don't judge 🥹🥹🥹) 1. Acceptable, but it wasn't just Zhuge Liang who Liu Bei seeked, it was also Pang Tong. In fact, the commentor said 'Seek the Sleeping Dragon and the Fledgling Phoenix and you shall have the country". Liu Bei got them both, but not the whole country itself. Second, yes it's true that Liu Shan's ineptitude and incompetency led to the downfall of Shu, but it's one of the factors; Zhuge Liang also distrusted Wei Yan so much (Wei Yan, as the commentor said, is probably the best military commander in all of Shu, something that not even Zhao Yun, Ma Chao or even Guan Yu could top, maybe only the likes of Zhang Fei or Huang Zhong can); another is because Wei Yan is the one who suggested to build a defensive wall around Shu, but Jiang Wei screwed up by having the wall removed, thus making Deng Ai conquer Shu for good (Though with the help of Zhong Hui)
2. The Five Tiger Generals are actually fiction, the commentor said, but was based on top ranks 4 of the top Shu Commanders held: the front General is Guan Yu; right General is Zhang Fei; left General is Ma Chao and the rear General is Huang Zhong. Zhao Yun didn't really do much in history, just mostly acting as a bodyguard for Liu Bei and his family. But at least Zhuge Liang saw potential in him and mourned his death deeply.
3. Zhou Yu was from an aristocratic family who befriended Sun Ce in childhood. Also, Zhou Yu and another commander named Lu Su is the reason Wu was established, because during the time that Cao Cao had defeated Yuan Shao and is now on the verge of more conquests, most of Sun Quan's officials begged him to yield to Cao Cao, but Yu and Su told him to resist and seek an alliance with the Shu kingdom, through the marriage of Quan's sister Shangxiang to Liu Bei. In reality, he and Zhuge Liang had nothing to do with each other, they barely knew each other. Plus, Zhou Yu is also married to one of the Qiao sisters, Xiaoqiao the younger, with Sun Ce being married to the older Daqiao. Yu and the younger Qiao had 3 children, in contrast to Ce and the older Qiao who only had a son.
In the end, Jing Zhou was probably conquered, just not by the three kingdoms and the three warlords. The winner is the Jin kingdom led by the Sima family.
I felt that lol. I remember the days when I was one of the reporters in class about this. Actually what I reported was like summarized since I was like 12 years old, and I didn't know this was that many wtf. My classmates were really bored, I can imagine myself reporting each kingdoms while everyone is asleep. Lol and it's not easy to explain since even I am having a brain crisis that time.

That was a different Chinese division. This one went more like “Buddhism is traveling up the Silk Road and I wonder if it will reach China before it collapses again.”
It mostly isn't. The characters are mostly real people, and the broad strokes of the events are real, but the games are based on the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, written in the Ming Dynasty, which is a fictionalized and--as you might guess--highly romanticized telling of this period. It's not the most historically accurate work, although the broad strokes are right. And it's got more of a narrative arc with clear heroes and villains that makes for better adapting into a video game than real history. After all, irl ALL of these dudes were vicious, opportunistic warlords.
I just wanna say that at 0:21, the bird that was singing was saying the Chinese lyrics for "never ganna give you up, never gonna let you down" all of you normies just got Rick rolled.

It’s supposed to be like this China: *Creates somewhat stable dynastic empire* China: “I’m about to ruin my whole career” :D China 2 minutes later: “D: I made a mistake shit” rinse and repeat
13:16 Oversimplified, I think you missed something. Before the battle of the red cliffs, Cao Cao was tricked into chaining his ships together (in some like of line). Because of this, it made escape difficult and stuff
As a native Chinese myself, I confirm this is pretty well explained.. Honestly Oversimplified you pronounced the Chinese names better than 95% of youtubers.
I'm Persian(from Iran) and i'm a crazy fan of Three kingdoms period since i watched the TV series "Three Kingdoms(2010)". I know most of the important figures and heros of this period. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Sima Yi, etc. The story of Liu-Guan-Zhang brotherhood(Oath of the Peach Garden) is popular in my country.

But either way it’s whatever it’s really not important in any way. But congrats to anyone who posted it before me🥇🤷🏻♂️
As a history teacher who is a huge advocate for deeper study of Chinese history. Thankyou for covering what is arguably the beginning of the most important topic in the current matrix.

And the winner, West Jin, has the dubious honour of being probably the only United Dynasty in China to be corrupt as fuck from the first generation emperor.
ETA If anyone wonders why, with other out-of-chaos-comes-unity dynasties, such as West Han under Liu Bang, North Song under Zhao Kuangying, or Ming under Zhu Yuanzhang, those emperors either come from humble roots and climbed to the top with their leadership skills, or they started with a power level (Zhao Kuangying was a big general in Later Zhou dynasty, and he eventually amassed enough power to force the emperor and the empress dowager to abdicate for him) but it still takes cunning and humility to plan and exercise. The Sima clan on the other hand, are dirty schemers who got lucky by the time Sima Yan becomes emperor of all China. Now Sima Yan has conquered all of China, they think there’s nothing more to do, so lets get to those nonstop Porsche Parties already.
I started my entire interest in history when I started with dynasty warriors 4 I have watched this and every OS video numerous times but this one gets me, an early memory, top tier. I randomly try and mention lu bu to everyone I can
I've watch 1.5 of his videos now, so in the eyes of the almighty algorithm, I'm as good as subbed. And now I've even wrote a comment, so his videos will be in my recommendations, forever. But I wont have to have bleeps and notifications. Cleaner for me!
While the video is good and indeed as the title stated, an over simplified version. It left out way too many context history and extremely famous peoples that you might heard of so imo it kind of does more bad than good as far as teaching you about the three kingdoms era.
Honestly I’ve played dynasty warriors all versions this is the best explanation so hilarious to see it this way no hard feelings man I like your brother better so u can do whatever ya want actually 😂
Fun fact: In order for Huang Gai to trick Cao Cao into believing he would betray Sun Quan, he had to risk defying his commander and was sentenced to death. However, bro bet on other generals (who had no idea about his plan) to convince the commander right there and then to reduce the penalty to 100 lashes instead. Which bro TANKED it-at 66 years old, which is old af for a man, let alone a general back in the day!
Great video OverSimplified - One thing that stands out: pictures of each warlord, etc.. would've helped to follow the history a tiny bit, but it's still very interesting and informative. Thanks!

@Abhirath Narasimhan The Romance of Three Kingdoms is actually a popular historical fiction novel. It's generally historically accurate but it tries to demonize Cao Cao and romanticizes Liu Bei.
I watched a cartoon series from 1986 about this epic period in Chinese history. I didn't know it was a true story!! I was so moved by that series, it was like a planet on its own! Noble feelings, betrayals, tyrannical leaders, intelligence, treachery, all gathered in one place. What really saddens me is that no one knows about this human epic..
Except that genocide he committed as revenge is why he ended up being vilified forever (and why even nowadays he still isn’t treated as a good person in spite of his rehabilitated reputation because…well…genocide)
Sun Jian getting knocked off early on in the conflicts really lets people forget what an incredible badass he was. Fighting on the front lines, scaling walls alone, killing Hua Xiong (why do they give this to Guan Yu??), forcing Lu Bu to retreat, and fighting for honor and loyalty. His family were relatively unimportant but by his thirties he was scaring his enemies shitless. "General Who Destroys Barbarians" indeed. Since we mentioned Game of Thrones, the man might as well have been Ned Stark. They also both had sons that were great conquerors who were only stopped by assassination. Also, special shoutout to Xu Rong, the true MVP of Dong Zhuo's forces, defeating absolutely everybody till he was pulled from the front line. He never gets his flowers either.
I told my teacher to show the ww2 video in class, and he liked it and told other teachers, and now there showing it, all my class mates enjoy your videos a lot. So keep going man.
I've learned that China had a well-established civilization since 2000 BC, making me realize that for Japan, China is like a SENPAI. The importation of kanji, rice cultivation, and bronze tools from China played a crucial role in shaping Japan's civilization. It truly underscores that China significantly influenced the development of Japan's culture.😊
It's probably because of China's (in the grand scheme of things) "recent" policies that most of the world has no idea about what China is. Most people know that China has been around for a pretty long time and is under communist rule but that's about it. China is seen as the big bad evil , while its history is being glossed over as if it were nothing.

You see that statue of Guan Yu
omg i know right. I always wondered how they could keep redoing this story but turns out they never even finished it. Man I spent some childhood hours forming plans on how i could survive a battle with lu bu

There's a lot of stuff that Dynasty Warriors got wrong tho, but then it is only a game
Broooo same! LU BEI HAS ARIVED!!!

I love how Lu Bu in his intro was being a badass and then for the rest of his time in the video he’s getting his ass kicked
Can't imagine he had that many men, and he still took huge pieces of land. He's that one guy that just rushes everything and shoots everything in a video game.
Lu Bu is a character in RPG which attack:99 and wisdom:0
He probably should have listened to Chen Gong more
Stupid dragon.
Ah sh- 👹
When the bad guy becomes a playable character.
By the way, there are some famous people this video missed talking about. Here are some of them.
1. Zhuge Liang: A famous imperial chancellor and politician in Shu who is one of the most strategic people in Chinese History. Bei once came to seek him three times straight because he wanted Zhuge Liang as his advisor. Zhuge Liang is also the reason why Liu Bei won against Cao Cao so many times. He was known for studying people's personalities before devising a plan that can best work out against them. He tricked Cao Cao so many times. When Liu Bei died and his son Liu Shan became emperor, Zhuge Liang took over as a chancellor to keep Shu alive. He devised plans against Sima Yi and defeated him many times, however, because of his weak health he passed away. Liu Shan ended up not knowing what to do and being too lazy to think of anything, and that's how Shu fell.
2. The Five Tiger Generals, the five most fierce warriors in the kingdom of Shu. Liu Bei has two brothers (brothers as in extremely close friends): Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. They defeated the Yellow Turban rebels together. They also helped Liu Bei defeat Cao Cao in many, many battles. There are also Zhao Yun (apparently, my favorite warrior ever!). He is Liu Bei's protector and is one of the most loyal generals out there. Huang Zhong and Ma Chao are the other two.
3. Zhou Yu. Probably the best warrior in the kingdom of Wu. He served under Sun Quan's rule. He, Zhuge Liang, and Huang Gai devised the plan to defeat Cao Cao in the Red Cliff Battle. By the way, it wasn't Huang Gai that thought of the burning ship idea. It was Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang. However, Zhou Yu was extremely jealous of Zhuge Liang. After the Red Cliff battle, Zhuge Liang noticed that and got rid of him. Even though they were haters, Zhuge Liang came to weep in Zhou Yu's grave because he thought he was a great warrior.
In addition, there's an extremely important place in the Three Kingdoms and that place is called Jing Zhou. It is said that if Jing Zhou is conquered, the conquerer would get lots of power. In the entire three kingdoms Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan are actually fighting for Jing Zhou AND the emperor's throne.
Lol, my hands are tired from typing so much. Plz reply. I've been searching for a video like this for months :) I love your explanation by the way. I'm Chinese and my hometown is in where previously Jing Zhou is located. I know a lot about the Three Kingdoms, since I've been studying them for almost six years now. They are my favorite time period in history.
Again, PLEASE. REPLY!!!
I read some historical accounts of this from a commentor in a dynasty warriors game (Please don't judge 🥹🥹🥹)
1. Acceptable, but it wasn't just Zhuge Liang who Liu Bei seeked, it was also Pang Tong. In fact, the commentor said 'Seek the Sleeping Dragon and the Fledgling Phoenix and you shall have the country". Liu Bei got them both, but not the whole country itself. Second, yes it's true that Liu Shan's ineptitude and incompetency led to the downfall of Shu, but it's one of the factors; Zhuge Liang also distrusted Wei Yan so much (Wei Yan, as the commentor said, is probably the best military commander in all of Shu, something that not even Zhao Yun, Ma Chao or even Guan Yu could top, maybe only the likes of Zhang Fei or Huang Zhong can); another is because Wei Yan is the one who suggested to build a defensive wall around Shu, but Jiang Wei screwed up by having the wall removed, thus making Deng Ai conquer Shu for good (Though with the help of Zhong Hui)
2. The Five Tiger Generals are actually fiction, the commentor said, but was based on top ranks 4 of the top Shu Commanders held: the front General is Guan Yu; right General is Zhang Fei; left General is Ma Chao and the rear General is Huang Zhong. Zhao Yun didn't really do much in history, just mostly acting as a bodyguard for Liu Bei and his family. But at least Zhuge Liang saw potential in him and mourned his death deeply.
3. Zhou Yu was from an aristocratic family who befriended Sun Ce in childhood. Also, Zhou Yu and another commander named Lu Su is the reason Wu was established, because during the time that Cao Cao had defeated Yuan Shao and is now on the verge of more conquests, most of Sun Quan's officials begged him to yield to Cao Cao, but Yu and Su told him to resist and seek an alliance with the Shu kingdom, through the marriage of Quan's sister Shangxiang to Liu Bei. In reality, he and Zhuge Liang had nothing to do with each other, they barely knew each other. Plus, Zhou Yu is also married to one of the Qiao sisters, Xiaoqiao the younger, with Sun Ce being married to the older Daqiao. Yu and the younger Qiao had 3 children, in contrast to Ce and the older Qiao who only had a son.
In the end, Jing Zhou was probably conquered, just not by the three kingdoms and the three warlords. The winner is the Jin kingdom led by the Sima family.

Thanks for making this, I always thought Dynasty Warriors wasn't real, but now I have a lot more respect
It mostly isn't. The characters are mostly real people, and the broad strokes of the events are real, but the games are based on the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, written in the Ming Dynasty, which is a fictionalized and--as you might guess--highly romanticized telling of this period. It's not the most historically accurate work, although the broad strokes are right. And it's got more of a narrative arc with clear heroes and villains that makes for better adapting into a video game than real history. After all, irl ALL of these dudes were vicious, opportunistic warlords.

Three kingdoms fought for over 100 years for unification, and in the end, none of them achieved it.
Talk about irony.
And the winner, West Jin, has the dubious honour of being probably the only United Dynasty in China to be corrupt as fuck from the first generation emperor.
ETA
If anyone wonders why, with other out-of-chaos-comes-unity dynasties, such as West Han under Liu Bang, North Song under Zhao Kuangying, or Ming under Zhu Yuanzhang, those emperors either come from humble roots and climbed to the top with their leadership skills, or they started with a power level (Zhao Kuangying was a big general in Later Zhou dynasty, and he eventually amassed enough power to force the emperor and the empress dowager to abdicate for him) but it still takes cunning and humility to plan and exercise.
The Sima clan on the other hand, are dirty schemers who got lucky by the time Sima Yan becomes emperor of all China. Now Sima Yan has conquered all of China, they think there’s nothing more to do, so lets get to those nonstop Porsche Parties already.
Actually, the new dynasty only last 30 years

It truly underscores that China significantly influenced the development of Japan's culture.😊
It's probably because of China's (in the grand scheme of things) "recent" policies that most of the world has no idea about what China is. Most people know that China has been around for a pretty long time and is under communist rule but that's about it. China is seen as the big bad evil , while its history is being glossed over as if it were nothing.
