Everyone has a master in life, and the ancients regarded the master very seriously, which is the so-called "one day for the teacher and life as the father." In ancient societies, the master was a person who enjoyed a very respectful status. The word master appeared very early, and it was already named the master of the emperor during the Qin and Han dynasties, and the word "master" began to be used by the people after the Southern Song Dynasty. But in ancient times, there was such a master, who only accepted three disciples in his lifetime, one killed Pang Tong, one stabbed Dianwei to death, and the other was called the God of War!
This master is Tong Yuan, born in Hebei, the character Xiongfu, is a famous figure in the history of the Three Kingdoms, but also a master of martial arts. His best skill is the "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Gun", which must have been heard by many people, although he does not exist in the main history, but has appeared in many novels related to the Three Kingdoms. His three apprentices were actually more famous than him, they were Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu, and Zhao Yun.
Apprentice one: Zhang Ren. There are very few records of Zhang Ren in history, in fact, he was a native of Shu County, Yizhou, which is now Chengdu, Sichuan, and his superior was Liu Zhang at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhang Ren was actually born in a poor family, but he was bright and studious from an early age, had the ambition of a great crane, and shot Pang Tong. Unfortunately, later in Liu Bei's attack on Liu Zhang, Zhang Ren confronted Liu Bei and was unfortunately defeated and killed.
Apprentice two: Zhang Xiu. Although this person is also surnamed Zhang, he is not related to the apprentice above, it is just a coincidence. Zhang Xiu was a subordinate of the great general Zhang Ji and one of the heroes of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, who later defected to Cao Cao to participate in the Battle of Guandu and was given the title of Marquis of Xuanwei. He was also married to the women of the Cao family, so he also became a relative of Cao Cao, and was also known as the "Gun King of the Northland" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Zhang Xiu, who could be accepted as an apprentice by Tong Yuan, must also be talented and extraordinary, and he also stabbed Dianwei to death.
Apprentice Three: Zhao Yun. This one must be familiar to everyone, he is Changshan Zhao Zilong, also known as the "Martial God" by the world. He is also often seen on TV dramas, after all, he is one of the great generals of the Three Kingdoms. He is also Tong Yuan's most famous and outstanding apprentice, and is loyal and courageous, very sympathetic to the people, although he is a military general, he also has the style of a Confucian general, and is considered to be "the most perfect person in the Three Kingdoms period", which shows the high evaluation of him by the world.
