History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the whole world can be said to be unhappy, and it is absolutely not too much to describe it with four words! In 190 AD, Dong Zhuo's tyranny acted arbitrarily in the harem of the Han Dynasty, and also supported the "puppet emperor" (later Emperor Xian of Han), and the whole society was in turmoil! But as the saying goes, a hero is born in a chaotic world! At that time, many heroic figures emerged, such as Sun Ce, the little bully king of Jiangdong, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Liu, Guan, Zhang and so on.
Where there are heroes, there are bears, and this truth exists in any dynasty! Some people seek money and power in the chaotic world, some people compete for territory, some people recruit soldiers and buy horses, and some people become earth emperors and become mountain kings. Speaking of the Mountain King, everyone may think of Song Jiang for the first time, but Song Jiang is indeed a well-known Mountain King, and until now the story of him and the good man of Liangshan is still circulating in the folk. However, the Mountain King was not a title of Song Jiang alone, and there were also Mountain King during the Three Kingdoms period.
Who were the mountain kings during the Three Kingdoms period? What about mountain thieves? At this point, the author really thinks of a person, this person is extremely bold, and the force is superior, in the early years of killing people and setting fires, no evil, and later repelled Cao Cao! This person is the famous Eastern Wu general Gan Ning, who is known as the "Jinfan Thief", who gathered people and horses in his early years, occupied the mountain as the king, and also committed evil in the local area! However, later defected to Sun Quan and served in Jiangdong, in 213 AD Cao Cao led a large army to attack Fusukou, and it was also Gan Ning who took the lead, attacking Cao Ying at night, and capturing dozens of ranks of Cao Ying's generals, Cao Cao was also frightened! Later, Cao Cao saw Sun Quan's soldiers and horses in strict order, and soon retired from the army.
Are there any thieves besides the Three Kingdoms of Ganning? The answer is yes, when Liu Bei was defeated, Guan Yu had no choice but to defect to Cao Ying in order to protect Liu Bei's family! In order to repay Cao Cao's kindness, Guan Yu helped Cao Cao kill Yuan Shao's general Yan Liangwen ugly, and later learned that the eldest brother Liu Bei was under Yuan Shao's account, and forced Cao Cao to personally escort the two sisters-in-law, and after five levels and six generals, they would be killed out of the siege! This is the story of Guan Yu's thousand miles riding alone, just in the middle of the road, suddenly a black-faced bearded man blocked Guan Yu's way, claiming to rob Guan Yu's war horse (red rabbit horse) sword (Qinglong Yanyue Knife), but later was subdued by Guan Yu, who dared to rob Wusheng Guan Yu, this person was the sword ambassador Zhou Cang, before the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhou Cang also became the king of the mountain, and also had an encounter with Guan Yu, which contributed to a good story between the two, when Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, Zhou Cang also captured Pound!
In addition to Gan Ning and Zhou Cang, there was also a bold mountain thief during the Three Kingdoms period, who singled out Zhao Yun alone! Who is so bold as to dare to challenge General Changsheng, could it be that this person is even fiercer than Zhang Fei! In fact, this is not the case, this person is Pei Yuanshao, a mountain thief who fell into the grass with Zhou Cang! Pei Yuanshao had originally become Guan Yu's vassal, but only Zhou Cang was with Guan Yu, while Pei Yuanshao stayed in the mountains temporarily, in order to grab a good horse, Pei Yuanshao intercepted Zhao Yun who happened to pass by, and at this time Zhao Yun was depressed, and in one turn he stabbed Pei Yuanshao under the horse!
