He was proficient in divination and even worked out the date of Liu Bei's death. Why was Liu Bei killed?

This man is Zhang Yu, a famous soothsayer and prophet at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He is proficient in divination and even worked out the date of Liu Bei's death. I think one of the important reasons is that he has a contradiction with Liu Bei. He doesn't know how to keep a low profile, just like Xu You, Yang Xiu and others. Friends who like the Three Kingdoms know that Liu Bei has always been famous for cherishing talents. However, this person should still provoke Liu Bei, and it will end up like this.

According to historical records, Zhang Yu has a high talent in judging people's faces and measuring good and bad luck. At the same time, he is also proficient in iconology, and some people even think that his attainments in iconology are much worse than that of Zhou Qun, a master in this field at that time. Changyu and Liu Bei first met in the sixteenth year of Jian 'an, when Changyu was still working under Liu Zhang. This year, Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei to Shu to deal with Zhang Lu. Changyu and Liu Zhang received Liu Bei together, but during this period, their communication was not very friendly. Because Changyu had a lot of beards, he was laughed at by Liu Bei, but he didn't show weakness at all. Instead, he laughed at Liu Bei for not being a man at all without a beard, which embarrassed Liu Bei.

After Liu Zhang surrendered to Liu Bei, his staff was also assigned to Liu Bei's men. Later, before Liu Bei decided to compete with Cao Wei for Hanzhong, he asked Zhou Qun and Changyu, and both of them suggested not to participate. Finally, Liu Bei sent troops to Hanzhong. Although it was successfully won, it did not get the support of Hanzhong people and lost two generals.

But strangely, after he came back, Liu Bei raised Zhou Qun, but not Changyu. Later, Changyu claimed that after nine years, Liu Bei would lose Yizhou and the world would change hands. When Liu Bei heard this, he arrested Zhang Yu in a rage and ordered him to be executed. Although Zhuge Liang interceded for him, Zhang Yu was finally executed by Liu Bei.
