The first time was 196. Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu, and his wife and children were captured by Lu Bu. Later, Lu Bu made peace and returned his wife and children.

The second time was 198. Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu again, and his wife and children were captured again. Only Liu Bei escaped. Later, Lu Bu was defeated, and Liu Bei regained his wife and children. (raw poultry cloth, the first owner gets his wife back. Biography of the late Lord)
The third time was in 208 AD, when Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao, leaving his wife and children in Changbanpo, Dangyang, and running for their lives with his brothers. Later, thanks to seven in and seven out, we fought our way out in the chaos and rescued Mrs. Gan and Dou. Without Zhao Yun, Liu Bei would have been extinct.
The fourth time was in 209 AD. Sun Shangxiang planned to take her children back to Wu Dong, but luckily she was stopped by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.
In fact, Liu Bei's daughter, besides the famous Dou, has an adopted son Liu Feng, two illegitimate children liuyong and Liu Li, and at least two daughters with unknown names.
According to the biography of the Three Kingdoms Cao Chun, after Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao, Cao Chun "chased Liu Bei in Nagano, grabbed his second daughter's trench and was resigned."

This happened in AD 208, and Liu Bei lost his wife and children for the third time. Zhao Yun only rescued Liu Bei's only son and Mrs. Gan, but the whereabouts of the two daughters have never been explained.
According to the practice of the Three Kingdoms period, neither woman will have a good end, and there are roughly three possibilities.
First, I became Cao Chun's concubine.
There is no record of Cao Chun's wives and concubines in the History of the Three Kingdoms and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, according to Cao Cao's character, this possibility is relatively large. Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Chun, and the two women were also captured by Cao Chun. It was almost the practice at that time to encourage soldiers and generals to award "trophies" to meritorious officials. For example, Zhen Ji gave it to xelloss.

Second, Cao Cao was imprisoned in the "Bronze Quetai"
"The east wind doesn't follow, the bronze sparrow terrace locks Er Qiao in spring", a well-known and timeless classic, gives people the impression that the bronze sparrow terrace is extremely rigid-Cao Cao's beauty palace. In fact, the function of Tongquetai is not to collect beautiful women at all, but a comprehensive cultural and entertainment place established by Cao Cao, which is open to literati for free. As for beauty, it's just an accessory. After all, in the society at that time, women were only men's private property and could be given away at will, even concubines could be given away to others.
Therefore, Liu Bei's two daughters were probably given to others by Cao Cao Yang in Tongquetai.

Third, Cao Cao was sent to the military camp.
Starting from Gou Jian, the King of Yue, a woman serving as a soldier became the most miserable career. By the Han Dynasty, this profession had been fixed as a system.
"People in troubled times are like dogs", especially women in troubled times. Men fight as soldiers at most, but women are different. Compared with the first two endings, this ending is the worst. But with the status of women at that time and Cao Cao's character, this possibility was not great.
Before Liu Bei died, he called Zhuge Liang and his son to the bed and explained the aftermath. He asked his sons to regard Zhuge Liang as their father. Tell Zhuge Liang that if Liu Chan can't afford it, he can "replace it"; However, from beginning to end, he never mentioned his two daughters. Liu Bei may not care about the lives of his two daughters at all. He only thinks about the prince, even if there is only one breath left, he only thinks about his own world. Even in the official history, there is only one sentence for these two poor women: "Be a trench for two women", and nothing else is mentioned.
However, there is another possibility: it is difficult for Liu Bei to say that his daughter was captured by the enemy, and the outcome must be extremely tragic. After all, he is his own flesh and blood, and tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention Liu Bei, a self-proclaimed "arbitrary" person?
"I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." The sufferings of his two daughters are all caused by Liu Bei. After countless midnight dreams, how can he have a clear conscience and sleep well?
Now 1000 years have passed, and all these people and things in history have vanished like the smoke clouds of the past, leaving us only melancholy, and we can do nothing about them except sympathy. However, in the war years, Liu Bei's two daughters were not the only ones with tragic fate.
