[Zhang Liao doesn't believe Liu Bei has that capability either; in his opinion, men like Master Guan Yu and Master Lu Bu held more might in one hand then Liu Bei did in his entire being. The second brother is more dignified than the third and is regarded by the people as one of the land's mightiest, next to Lord Lu Bu himself. Surely such a man should be mightier than the kinder but weaker Liu Bei-
...and then a thought occurs to him.]
Perhaps what you refer to is not the might of a warrior, but a leader. Liu Bei speaks often of the people and how he wishes to bring peace back to the land for their benefit. That is why the people fight for him. [And how they adore him too.] I wonder then if a leader's might is derived from the ideals he fights for, while the warrior's might comes from his strength.
I do not believe that warriors as powerful as Lord Lu Bu and Master Guan Yu wield less might than Liu Bei. But perhaps Liu Bei has his own strength drawn from his benevolence and his kindness, and that is why he is regarded as a benevolent leader.
