"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be said to be a household name. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Feiyi have joined Taoyuan. They will never leave and fight the world together, but:
In fact, the three of Liu Guanzhang do not have the Taoyuan three. The official history does not record the "Three Kingdoms", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" never mentions the trio of justice.
In the real history, the three people are in the relationship between the monarch and the minister. Liu Bei is younger than Guan Yu, and the three are younger and older. The order should be Guan Liuzhang, not Liu Guanzhang. And Guan Yu always referred to Liu Bei as General Liu and later as Uncle Liu Huang.
There is no Liu Bei's birth year in "Three Kingdoms: The First Biography", only that he died in Zhangwu three years (223), the year of sixty-three. The ancestors counted their ages as imaginary years. According to this inverse, Liu Bei was born in the fourth year of Emperor Yanxi of Han Dynasty (161). Therefore, Liu Bei's birth and death date should be 161-223. According to Qian Jingfang's "Fiction Collection": The tombstone of Guan Houzu unearthed in Guan Yu's hometown during the Kangxi period, Guan Yu was born in June of the third year (160) of Emperor Yanxi of Han Dynasty. Therefore, Ke Rulin's "Chronicle of Guan Gong" believes that Guan Yu is one year old as Liu Bei. Guan Yu's birth and death year should be 160~219 years. When Zhang Fei was born and died, "Ci Hai" introduced:? ~221, according to the "Guan Gong Chronicles" "Zhang Fei Xiao Liu Bei is four years old", it should be 165~221.
"The Legend of the Three Kingdoms: Guan Yu Biography" records that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already joined the group when they gathered the disciples in Liu Bei Township. Liu Beihou is Pingyuanxiang, and the two people "sleep in the same bed, Enruo brothers. But the thick people sit all day long (in crowded gatherings)." "Enruo brothers" describes the close relationship between the three. Not necessarily true brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are still the monarch and ministers of Liu Bei most of the time.
"Zhang Fei Biography" records: "Shao and Guan Yu share the predecessor (Liu Bei), Yu is a few years older, and Fei is a brother." "Common predecessor" is naturally speaking for Liu Bei's subordinates, serving Liu Bei; "Fei "Brother Shizhi" can be regarded as Zhang Fei serving Guan Yu as his brother. Think of someone older than yourself as your elder brother. Calling someone "brother" does not necessarily have to be called "brother". Generally, we will respect certain people who are older than ourselves as "brother".
"The Legend of Three Kingdoms Liu Ye": "And Guan Yu and Bei, righteousness is the monarch and minister, and the father and son." Although the three of
are not married brothers, they have a very good relationship, which can be said to be like brothers.
"Three Kingdoms: Guan Yu Biography" said that Guan Yu went to Zhuo County in desperation, and Liu Bei was gathering disciples in the village, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei joined him. Later, Liu Bei was the Xiangyuanxiang, and Yu and Fei were the other sima, and they were divided into tribes. Liu Bei and the two "would be in the same bed when they sleep, and if they are brothers". Guan Yu often sat in Chou people and served all day long. Later, Xuzhou fell and Guan Yu was captured. Cao Cao sent people to persuade him to surrender. Guan Yu also said: "I have received the kindness of General Liu and vowed to die together and cannot recite it." "Zhang Fei Biography" also The record: "Zhang Fei...you are the master of Guan Yu. Yu is a few years older, and Fei is a brother."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both known for their bravery. Wei Guo's minister Cheng Xian praised Guan Zhang as "the enemy of ten thousand people", and Zhou Yu praised Guan Zhang as "the general of bear and tiger." Therefore, Liu Bei particularly favored Guan Zhang and regarded them as confidants. As for later generations on history, such as Wang Fuzhi in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, he thought: "Liu Bei is better than to Zhuge Liang for the trust of Guanzhang."
The above paragraphs of historical data suffice to explain two problems: a close relationship between Liu, Guan and Zhang. The "Enruo brothers"; the second is "Enruo brothers" instead of betraying brothers, and there is no saying that there is no righteousness in historical data. Therefore, in history, there is no real allusion of "Taoyuan Sanjie".
