From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Liao Hua was a former Yellow Turban rebel who proved himself a capable general on multiple occasions.
When Guan Yu was defeated, Liao Hua was taken into Wu. However, he desired to return to the Liu Bei, and thus he fked his own death. He then took his mother and escaped westward, traveling night and day. At that time liu Bei was marching eastward, and the two met up at Zigui. Liu Bei was greatly pleased, and instated Liao Hua as grand administrator of Yidu.
After Liu Bei died, Liao Hua became advisor to the Prime Minister, and then became controller of the Guangwu region. Later, promoted to the position of General of the Chariots and Cavalry of the Right, made designated inspector of Bing Province, and granted the title of Marquis of Zhongxiang. He was famous for his determination and prowess.
After the defeat of Shu Liao Hua was relocated to Luoyang, but he died on the way.
He lived to see the birth of the kingdom of Shu to its demise in 263 (whereupon he died). In his career, Liao Hua reached the second-highest general's rank, proving himself in battle several times.
