Reading this made me think, was Liu Bei just lucky throughout his life?

He certainly had luck, but luck can only carry you so far. Even Cao Cao had dumb luck where he just barely managed to survive from battle defeats.

Far from comparable to his peers. Cao Cao escaped death more times than he did. And Liu Bei's nowhere as lucky as his distant ancestor Liu Ban

And that's the end of v17. I'll try to post v18 next weekend.

It's also pretty impressive what Shu managed to do militarily even though the region was much poorer in manpower, horses, and agriculture compared to Wei.

I think the only time in all of imperial Chinese history that a kingdom based in the Western regions actually became dominant was Northern Zhou's conquest of Northern Qi, due to a lot of internal strife on the latter's part. Though unlike Shu, Northern Zhou had both the Northwestern regions connecting to central asia as well as the region around Chang'an.

>The Northern Zhou victory is surprising because this was a regime
that was materially so much poorer than its Northern Qi competitor. In
classical China, as in much of the ancient world, manpower and agricultural
resources (or, in the case of nomads, their flocks of animals)
were the material bases for creating a powerful political/military structure.
Tang Changru roughly estimates that the Northern Qi had close
to a three to one advantage in population. This same author also notes
that during the later Sui dynasty, population figures from the 605–607
time period for the North China Plain (north of the Huai River) indicate
that slightly more than 53% of the entire imperial population lived
in this part of the empire.Before the development of South China, the
North China Plain was the population and agrarian heart of the China
based classical empires. This same region was solidly controlled by the
Northern Qi during its political existence. The Western Wei/Northern
Zhou conquest of the Chengdu basin in 553 could not alter these unfavorable
resource disadvantages due to the extreme difficulties in overland
transport across the Qinling Mountains to the Wei River valley.
The Chengdu Basin could serve as a defensive redoubt of last resort, as
in the case of Tang Xuanzong during the An Lushan Rebellion, but it contributed little to altering the material balance of power between the
Wei River valley and the North China Plain. The population and agrarian
core of the Northern Zhou regime was a relatively narrow band on both
banks of the Wei River. Huang Yongnian provides a general description
of the material and cultural backwardness of the Northern Zhou regime
and argues that one consequence of this poverty of resources was a fiscal
dependence on acquiring and distributing war plunder, both wealth and
human captives, in large quantities to maintain its armies and its court
establishment.

Shu in contrast didn't control the Wei river valley.
