Biography & Historical Record

Two literary “Liu Da” (刘达, Lưu Đạt) names sit in Romance; neither is a Sanguozhi biography. Import rows stamped this slug Chapter 20 (the imperial hunt and clothes-belt edict). Chapter 20’s named Han plotters are Emperor Xian (刘协, Lưu Hiệp), Dong Cheng (董承, Đổng Thừa), Wang Zifu, Wu Shi, Wu Zilan, Chong Ji, and Liu Bei (刘备, Lưu Bị) — no Liu Da. The Three Kingdoms-era figure the 汉字 actually belongs to is a fictional Wei ya-jiang under Inspector of Yong Wang Jing (王经, Vương Kinh) at the Tao River in Chapter 110. A second, purely genealogical Liu Da appears in Chapter 1 as invented Yingchuan Marquis in Liu Bei’s fake pedigree (ancestor of the fictional chain that ends at Liu Xiong). This article treats the Wei officer; the ancestor is a different name-drop and is not this post’s man.

In Chapter 110 Jiang Wei marches on the Tao. Wang Jing brings seventy thousand. After a verbal clash — Jiang Wei citing Sima Shi’s deposition of the Wei sovereign — Wang Jing tells four ya-jiang, Zhang Ming (张明), Zhu Fang (朱芳), Hua Yong (花永), and Liu Da, that Jiang Wei is fierce: if he gives ground, they may pursue. The four ride out left and right; after a few passes Jiang Wei feigns flight into a back-to-the-water array. The trap is Xiahou Ba (夏侯霸, Hạ Hầu Bá) and Zhang Yi (张翼, Trương Dực)’s job; Liu Da is one of the four teeth who take the bait. No independent death line is given. History’s Wang Jing fought Jiang Wei in 255 and later died in the Cao Mao affair; his four ya-jiang are Luo Guanzhong’s invention.

Role in Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 110 (Tao River / Wang Jing), not Chapter 20: Jiang Wei (姜维, Khương Duy) sets a river-backed line. Wang Jing (王经, Vương Kinh) sends Liu Da (刘达, Lưu Đạt) with Zhang Ming, Zhu Fang, and Hua Yong to test him. Jiang Wei fights briefly and pulls back; the four are the visual proof that Yong’s inspector still thinks a pursuit can work. Chapter 20 never uses this name. Do not invent a clothes-belt role to save the catalog number.

Liu Da (刘达) — Historical & Literary Timeline

Disambiguation

Not the Chapter 1 ancestor

Yingchuan Marquis Liu Da in the invented Liu Bei pedigree is a different literary ghost. Not the Wei ya-jiang.

Catalog error

Not Chapter 20

Clothes-belt edict names Dong Cheng’s circle, not Liu Da.

Chapter 110

One of Wang Jing’s four ya-jiang

Rides out with Zhang Ming, Zhu Fang, and Hua Yong; Jiang Wei feigns retreat into the Tao trap.

Fictional officer; listed among Romance inventions under Wang Jing.

Key Relationships

Family

  • None recorded. Do not attach him to Liu Bei’s invented Ch.1 marquises.

Friends

  • Wang Jing (王经, Vương Kinh): Yong inspector who orders the four ya-jiang forward.
  • Fellow fictional ya-jiang Zhang Ming (张明, Trương Minh), Zhu Fang (朱芳, Chu Phương), Hua Yong (花永, Hoa Vĩnh) — plain text, no posts.

Enemies

Other

In Novel

Chapter 110

  • Liu Da (刘达, Lưu Đạt): Fictional ya-jiang of Wang Jing (王经, Vương Kinh) at the Tao River. With Zhang Ming, Zhu Fang, and Hua Yong he is ordered to fight Jiang Wei (姜维, Khương Duy) and to pursue if Jiang Wei gives way. Jiang Wei breaks after a few passes and draws them toward the river-backed trap. No Chapter 20 clothes-belt scene exists for this name.

In History

Summary

  • No Sanguozhi Liu Da serves Wang Jing. The 255 Tao campaign is historical for Jiang Wei and Wang Jing; the four ya-jiang are novel furniture.

Year: 255 (historical frame)

  • Wang Jing as Inspector of Yong fights Jiang Wei in Longyou; later Wang Jing dies in the 260 Cao Mao plot. Liu Da is not in those histories.

Historical Record

  • Silence in Chen Shou. Romance Ch.110 is the only narrative. Ch.1 “Yingchuan Marquis Liu Da” is a separate genealogical fiction.
