At the beginning of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei formed a righteousness, they soon began to recruit troops and horses, build weapons, and then began to fight with the Yellow Turban Army, and gradually played the name of the three brothers of Taoyuan Jieyi. But before that, Liu Bei was selling straw shoes, Guan Yu was selling red dates, Zhang Fei was selling pork, and many people were curious about how they were so powerful in martial arts as soon as they appeared! What is the reason for this?
During the Han Dynasty, there was no prohibition on martial arts, and civilians could learn martial arts in private, which was part of the reason. However, their martial arts sources are not only because of this.
First of all, Liu Bei, although Liu Bei is a fallen nobleman, some aristocratic customs will still be retained, such as swordplay. At that time, some people of identity could wear swords, and most of them would learn some sword skills.
Although Liu Bei's conditions were poor in his early years, he could always take a branch and compare it, or carve a wooden sword. Coupled with Liu Bei's relatively long arms, later choosing a sword as his weapon was very suitable for him.
Moreover, he chose the double-stranded sword, and the technical requirements of the two-handed sword were higher, which showed that Liu Bei did not work swordplay in his early years.
The career of weaving straw mats and weaving straw shoes cultivated Liu Bei's careful mind, because it was all meticulous work.
So what happened to Guan Yu? Guan Yu made a living selling red dates, and when the dates were ripe, they needed to be beaten with a stick. Of course, there is a kind of thing called a stick in the future, and you can use this tool to save effort while you can shoot more dates. The stick resembles a double-knuckle stick, except that one head is long and one head is short.
This kind of stick is also called panlong stick, legend is that the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin invented, in the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts is very powerful, he also handed down a lot of martial arts techniques.
The Han Dynasty should not have had that tool, so Guan Yu could only use a stick to beat the red jujube. The action of hitting the red jujube is also the action of chopping, so later Guan Yu will choose a large knife as a weapon.
In this process, Guan Yu's technique of beating red dates has become more and more mature, and the technique of chopping has become more and more powerful, and the stick has no false hair, and each stick will hit a large piece of red dates. Therefore, in the later stage, Guan Yu encounters an opponent who is almost there or can always solve the battle quickly when the opponent is careless.
Of course, it is impossible to practice too much strength by playing red dates, which is related to his personal talent.
And Zhang Fei is selling pork, dealing with pigs all day, I don't know if you have seen the scene of killing pigs, quite laborious! In the process, the power is naturally tempered.
In order to reduce the toss of pigs when killing pigs, it is necessary to find the key point and kill them with one knife, which also trains Zhang Fei's assassination technique. Therefore, Zhang Fei would later choose the Zhangba Snake Spear, and the technical characteristics of the spear were mainly thorns.
A person's occupation will often subtly bring him some career-related skills.
Of course, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would not have thought in the early years that there would be chaos such as the Yellow Turban Uprising in the future, nor would they have thought that they would join the army, nor would they have thought that they would one day take up arms and fight with people.
However, those who have the heart to plant flowers and flowers, and have no intention of planting willows and willows, their original occupations have not developed, and the by-product capabilities developed by their original careers have shined in the later years of military conquest, which is also the vagaries and interesting places of life.
