LiuLu

LiuLu is the cargo ship between Liu Bei and Di Lu from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms fandom.

Canon
Liu Bei's horse is Di Lu. He was originally owned by Liu Biao's subordinate Zhang Wu. When Liu Bei first met Liu Biao, Liu Bei saw Zhang Wu's mount "extremely majestic ", and he praised him greatly, saying: "This must be a horse that can run a thousand miles!". Liu Biao offered to give the horse to Liu Bei, and he accepted. Later, Liu Bei gives the horse back to Liu Biao, claiming that he cannot repay such a big favor.

Later, when Liu Biao's wife Cai Shi hears Liu Biao talk about leaving his province (Jing Zhou) to Liu Bei, she comes up with a plan to kill him. Just as her brother, Cai Mao, is about to execute the plan, Liu Bei rides Di Lu in hopes of finding a way out. After a few minutes of riding, Liu Bei approached a river with no hope of escape. In a fit of frenzy, he yelled, "Di Lu! Di Lu! Why do you choose to harm me today?" Just as he uttered those words, Di Lu leaped over the river and onto the cliff above. Liu Bei sighs in relief while an annoyed Cai Mao calls out to him from underneath the cliff.

Liu Bei trusts Di Lu. When Pang Tong and Liu Bei were riding in the mountains, Liu Bei gave Di Lu to Pang Tong, claiming that his horse was tame and could not hurt him. Soon, Pang Tong is shot by an arrow from Zhang Ren, believing the person on the white horse to be Liu Bei. After his fiasco with Cai Mao, Liu Bei cane to trust it more. Even when one of his subordiantes questioned the horse (as it had had many masters in the past), Liu Bei was still willing to ride it.

Fanon
This ship is not popular in the fandom. More people prefer XuanLiang and a ship with another person. However, some still see this as a funny ship. Because of Di Lu's history with Liu Bei, and because Liu Bei refers to it as "tame", fans believe that Liu Bei likes Di Lu. Moreover, since Liu Bei trusted Pang Tong to ride Di Lu, he sees his horse as something special.

There is one ship on A03.
