Historical Information
Liu Feng was the son of the Kou clan of Luohou and nephew to the Liu clan of Changsha, and thus possessed ties to the imperial clan. Liu Bei adopted him while in Jingzhou because he did not presently have an heir. Liu Feng served as a general in his army and was known for his martial ability and outstanding strength.

When Liu Bei marched on Liu Zhang, Liu Feng commanded with Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei and was victorious in battle. Afterward he was promoted to General of the Gentlemen of the Household Who Assists the Army and Magistrate of Central Langjiang. Later Meng Da was prepared to attack Shangyong, but Liu Bei doubted his ability to handle the battle on his own. In AD 219 he sent Feng to aid him, but Shen Dan of Shangyong surrendered without a conflict. Feng’s appointment was changed to General Who Assists the Army.

When Guan Yu had had encircled Fancheng and Xiangyang, he repeatedly called on Feng and Da, commanding them to send reinforcements to aid in the siege. Both declined, reasoning that the mountains of their commandery had been hemmed in, and they could not break free. As the battle drew on, Guan Yu was ultimately defeated and executed, to the outrage of Liu Bei. The dynamic between Feng and Da soon became adverserial, and Feng advised his father to send troops to suppress Da. Meng Da grew  resentful over this and defected to Cao Cao, along with Shen Dan, Shen Yi, thus ceding several territories. Received warmly by his new allies, Meng Da was given a post of command, and returned to attack Liu Feng- forcing him to withdraw to Chengdu.

In Chengdu, at the advice of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei ordered Liu Feng to commit suicide. While the severity of the order was likely influenced in part by his failures not only to Guan Yu and the loss of his territory, but also very likely due to the possible political threat he posed to Liu Shan, Liu Bei’s biological son and heir as of AD 219. In the end, Liu Feng thus died in AD 220, at Liu Bei’s command.
