The first lord Hongyi is generous, knows people and treats soldiers, covers the wind of the high ancestors, and the instrument of heroes.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes the history of the ancestors' fortunes with great praise, almost a "hero's dawn".
Note: Dawn of heroes, the opening track of the 1988 Japanese anime Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Composer Jing'er Yokoyama. The melody is melodious and magnificent, and it has been the theme song of the 95 (Ancient Heavenly Music) version of the Divine Eagle Hero. "Dawn of Heroes" is also the theme of Liu Bei's animated image.
Chen Shou was a Shu Han. In order to tout the old lord, the ancestor is portrayed as a self-motivated young man from a poor family, weaving mats and selling shoes, in adversity, but with great ambitions. Referring to Pei Song's commentary, we can see its paradox.
The beginning and end of the first lord's fortune seem to be analyzed in detail and conclusive, but the actual language is not clear. I carefully read the material and came to a subversive conclusion:
Liu Bei was a prodigal son who was obsessed with pleasure. In his youth, he traveled to Imperial Kyoto. After returning to his hometown from Luoyang, he devoted himself to triad activities and made his fortune in the form of "sitting Kou" in his hometown of Zhuo County. Moreover, the beginning and end of Liu Bei's "going ashore to wash white" with military merit has nothing to do with the conquest of the Yellow Turban.
The intention of the article is to elaborate on the beginning and end of Liu Bei's origins, so the lower time limit is until the fourth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (187), that is, before Liu Bei was twenty-six years old.
The conclusion of the article may cause some readers to be displeased. Therefore, I will quote the historical data in detail and make a logical deduction. If you don't like the conclusion of this article, you may also think of it as an alternative perspective enlightenment that expands your thinking.
The article is slightly longer, but condensed. If you read patiently, you will gain something.

< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Seshzhou County</h1>
The Liu Bei clan was very powerful in Zhuo County.
Liu Bei's direct ancestor was Liu Sheng, the King of Jing in Zhongshan. Liu Bei is from the branch of Liu Shengzi and Marquis Liu Zhen of Luchengting.
Liu Zhen's fiefdom was in Zhuo County, and the Liu clan of Zhuo County began there.
Sheng Zizhen (胜子贞), Marquis of Lucheng Pavilion in Lucheng County, fengzhuo County in the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty. --ShuShu II
The Liu Bei family lived in groups with Liu Zhen's descendants in the local area and had considerable influence. Chen Shouyan: Liu Bei's family has been an official in your hometown in Youzhou for generations.
Ancestor Zu Xiong, Father Hong, Shi Shi Zhou County. --ShuShu II
Liu Bei's grandfather, Liu Xiong, served as a fan county commander in Dong County.
Xiongju filial piety, official to the East County Fan Ling. --ShuShu II
Liu Xiong was born in Zhuo County, Youzhou, while Fan County, East County, was in Yanzhou. This is inconsistent with the "Shishi Prefecture County" mentioned by Chen Shou. The reason comes from the "three mutual laws" at the end of the Han Dynasty.
At the beginning, the dprk agreed to use the state and county parties, and the people of the two states were not allowed to supervise each other. There are three reciprocal methods, taboos are forbidden, and selection is difficult. --Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Vol. 60-2
The rise of the Eastern Han Dynasty. With the passage of time, in order to avoid the rise of the township party forces, the Han court restricted local officials from serving in their hometowns. That is, "local people cannot be officials in the local area".
There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Later, a special phenomenon appeared, that is, those who were close to the state and county and each other became officials in each other's hometowns, so as to shield each other and bend the law for personal gain.
Therefore, there is a "three-reciprocal law" and other avoidance systems:
If an official of Place A is an official in Place B, an official of Place B may not be an official in Place A.
Because the "Biography of Cai Yong" is not known about the three mutual French, the twists and turns are not known. But one of the historical sources inadvertently reveals a serious problem:
Officials in Youzhou and Jizhou have difficulty in selecting officials due to the restrictions of the three reciprocal laws.
The two states of You and Ji have not been replenished for a long time. --Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Vol. 60-2
It can be seen that Youzhou and Jizhou were the hardest hit areas where the clan township party forces were rampant at the end of the Han Dynasty. This also explains why Liu Xiong went to a foreign state to become an official.
Fan County, East County, is a large county, because Liu Xiong is "Fan Ling".
Note: Those with tens of thousands of households under the jurisdiction of the county are called "orders", and those who are dissatisfied with 10,000 are called "long".
Through "ZuXiong, Father Hong, Shishi Prefecture County", it can be seen that Liu Bei's biological father [Liu Hong] also had the experience of being a scholar, and he was definitely not white.
Here's the problem:
Why does Chen Shou say that Liu Bei is so poor that he weaves mats and sells clothes for a living?
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > mat weaving</h1>
When Liu Bei was young, he did have a period of not too generous days. The reason was the early death of his biological father Liu Hong, which caused Liu Bei to lose the financial support of his immediate family members at an early age.
The first lord is less lonely, and he works with the mother seller to weave mats. --ShuShu II
"Less loneliness" is the cause of poverty, but "mat weaving and selling shoes" is not the result of poverty.
Why?
Because Liu Bei naturally likes to do handicrafts. "Weaving" is Liu Bei's hobby, not the result of poverty and lack of livelihood.
Liu Bei, good sex
How much does Liu Bei like weaving? When he was living in Jingzhou and Sangu Maolu, there was [Zhuge Liang] sitting opposite, but Liu Bei was concentrating on weaving the tail of the yak and enjoying himself.
After sitting and gathering, all the guests went, and Liang stayed alone, and did not ask what he wanted.
Be prepared to knot well, and when it is time for someone to use a funky oxtail and prepare for it, prepare yourself for the hand. - "Wei Luo"
The author of Wei Liu was Wei Guolang Zhongyu Feng, a contemporary of Chen Shou and slightly earlier than the Chen clan. His "DianLuo" and "Wei Luo" are of extremely high historical value, and contain a large number of anecdotes and allusions from the late Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei "has a good sex". People are born to like this, not because they are poor and forced to sell their labor.
Note: 毦, 毦,音爾,Beast Hair ornament.
Let me give you another example.
After Liu Bei entered the Sichuan, the elite unit "Bai Yi Army", the decoration on the pocket was related to Liu Bei's love of weaving.
Note: Two Han soldiers, the helmet gun is generally inserted with "pheasant tail feather", and Liu Bei's army inserts "yak tail".
In the correspondence between Zhuge Liang and his brother Zhuge Jin, it was revealed that such a historical material was revealed:
Liu Bei received the elite troops in western Sichuan as the "Bai Yi Army", which was directly commanded by the protector Chen Zhi.
The brother suspected that the White Emperor's soldiers were not refined, (Chen) to the governor, then the first emperor under the account of The White Emperor, the Western soldiers also. It is also suspected that it is rare, when some of the Jiangzhou soldiers benefit from guangdong. --Zhuge LiangJi- On the Book of the White Emperor's Soldiers with Brother Jin
Note: Chen Zhi, on a par with Zhao Yun. The two are responsible for the safety of the master first.
Weaving, which is engraved in Liu Bei's bones, is the hobby (good sex), not the result of poverty and lack of livelihood.
Some readers may refute:
Liu Bei likes to weave, which may also be a habit he developed in poverty when he was young. Why do you say that "weaving behavior" is simply Liu Bei's hobby? ”
Because Liu Bei was not poor at all, when he was fifteen years old, he also went to Luoyang, the capital of the empire, to study.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > study in Luoyang</h1>
The first chapter mentions that Liu Bei, as a descendant of Liu Zhen, the Marquis of Luchengting, lived in Zhuo County with members of the clan family. Liu Zhen was a figure in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty (BC 139), and Liu Bei was a figure from the late Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 161), and the difference between the two was exactly 300 years.
For three hundred years, in the political environment of the preferential treatment of the two Han dynasties, it was enough to breed a dizzyingly large family in Zhuo County.
Although Liu Bei's father died early, the clan forces were still alive.
Therefore, when Liu Bei was fifteen years old, he could afford to travel to Luoyang and tuition fees, and together with liu Deran of the same sect and Gongsun Zhan, a fellow villager in Youzhou, he threw himself into the door of his fellow villager [Lu Zhi].
In the fifteenth year, his mother made a study, and with the same Emperor Liu Deran and The Liaoxi Gongsun Zhanju accident Jiujiang Taishou Tongjun Lu Zhi. --ShuShu II
Lu Zhitong studied ancient and modern times, and studied well without keeping rules and sentences.
Looking at the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" alone, it is impossible to judge the specific location of Liu Bei's study.
Inlu Zhi himself is also a native of Zhuo County, Youzhou, and is a senior of Liu Bei's fellow villagers. Moreover, Lu Zhi resigned from the post of Jiujiang Taishou for health reasons in that year (176). If Lu Zhi returned to his hometown to teach, Liu Bei may study in Zhuo County.
However, a comprehensive comparison of multiple materials can fully determine:
Liu Bei's place of study was not in Zhuo County, but in Luoyang.
First of all, Lu Zhi "went to the official and returned home" for a very short time, and a year later he was recruited by the imperial court as a parliamentarian and returned to Luoyang to serve again.
Secondly, the hobbies and interests cultivated by Liu Bei when he was studying, cockfighting, and splendid clothing, these luxuries could not often appear in zhuoxian hometown.
(First Lord) Like dogs and horses, music, beautiful clothes. --ShuShu II
Third, Gongsun Zhan's place of study was the Jiaoshi Mountain, not far from the east side of Luoyang.
(瓒) learned from Lu Zhi of Zhuo County in the Mountains of the Jiaoshi Clan, and is briefly mentioned in the book. --Book of the Later Han Dynasty, vol. 73
Where is The Mountain? Thirty kilometers east of Yanshi, Henan, on the east side of Luoyang.
According to the "Biography of the First Lord", Liu Bei, Liu Deran, and Gongsun Zhan visited Lu Zhimen together, so when the three were students, the scope of activity was not far from the east side of Luoyang.
Finally, and most importantly, Wang Cang, one of Jian'an's seven sons, clearly records that Liu Bei studied in Luoyang in the last years of Emperor Ling's reign, and also had contacts with Cao Cao, a lieutenant in northern Luoyang at the time.
In the last year of emperor Ling's reign, he was in The Capital Division, fu and Cao Gongju returned to peiguo and recruited a group of people. --Heroes
(Cao Cao) was twenty years old, and he took Xiao Lian as a lang, except for the northern lieutenant of Luoyang, qiandun Qiu Ling, and levied the worship of Lang. --The Chronicle of Emperor Wu
Wang Cang wrote "Heroes" when he wrote about current events, and his credibility was almost the highest among all the materials.
Liu Bei (161) and Cao Cao (155) were six years apart. When Liu Bei went to Luoyang to study at the age of fifteen, Cao Cao was just 21 years old and served as a lieutenant in northern Luoyang. The chronological records of the two materials are completely consistent.
The clues to Liu Bei's correspondence with Cao Cao, although the book is not explicitly stated, can also be roughly inferred. namely:
Liu Bei's grandfather (Liu Xiong) served as an official in Dong Commandery (東郡), and Cao Cao was later conscripted into the Eastern Commandery Taishou (東郡太守) (not in office).
For a long time, he was also the Taishou of Dong County; no, he called the disease and returned to the township. --The Chronicle of Emperor Wu
During the Two Han Dynasties, ordinary people could not afford to travel to the imperial capital for tuition, travel, and accommodation.
Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, went to Chang'an to study in the late Western Han Dynasty as a local magnate.
What are Liu Xiu's family conditions? The hooligans killed people and hid in Liu Xiu's house, and the government did not dare to come to the door.
This is what Liu Xiu's sister and Princess Liu Huang of Huyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty said personally.
(Huyang Gong) Said: "When Uncle Wen was dressed in white, Lord Zang hid his death, and the officials did not dare to go to the door. --Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Vol. 77
Note: Uncle Wen, that is, Liu Xiu's character.
If Liu Bei was a poor and poor mat weaver, how could he afford to travel to Luoyang?
Combined with the productivity and background of the times at that time, Liu Bei's study in Luoyang was more difficult than for Today's Somalis to study in the United States.
Liu Bei traveled to study in the imperial capital, and also studied under the famous Ru Lu Zhi, presumably learning to be rich in five cars, right?
Unfortunately, Liu Bei is a scum.
He did not study well in Luoyang, fought cocks and horses every day, and did not do his business. Combing Ah Fei's head, wearing a strange costume, driving a Porsche, and enjoying life.
The Lord was not very fond of reading, but liked dogs and horses, music, and beautiful clothes. --ShuShu II
During Liu Bei's study period, he was greatly influenced by his classmate and fellow villager [Gongsun Zhan].
Gongsun Zhan was also a frustrated bureaucrat.
The Gongsun family in Western Liaoning, Youzhou, is slightly better off than the Liu Bei family in Zhuo County, Youzhou. Gongsun Zhan's father and grandfather were all high-ranking officials of the two thousand stones, and the secretary of the prefectural party committee was at the level of the prefectural party committee. It's just that Gongsun Zhan is unsatisfactory because his birth mother is lowly.
Gongsun Zhan (公孙瓒字伯珪), Also of the Lingzhi of Liaoxi. Family lineage of 2,000 stones. He was made a lowly county official. --Book of the Later Han Dynasty, vol. 73
The two unscrupulous giants quickly mixed up.
Things are clustered in groups, and people are grouped. Like Liu Bei, Gongsun Zhan was also a scum.
Gongsun Zhan's academic level is: a little bit of calligraphy. That is, rough ink, just out of blindness. It was similar to Liu Xiu at that time.
Liu Xiu's cultural level is: slightly through the righteousness.
Wang Mang Tianfengzhong ,(Liu Xiu) was the Chang'an, influenced by the Book of Shang, and slightly understood the great righteousness. --Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Chronicle of the Guangwu Emperor
Liu Bei's education level was worse than that of Gongsun Zhan: he was not very happy to read.
There is no doubt that Liu Bei's study tour experience in Luoyang (like dogs and horses, music, beautiful clothes. ), is the "rogue growth history" of a descendant of the fallen far branch.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > returned to his hometown</h1>
Although Luoyang is good, it is not a place of long-term love.
Coiling is limited, and when you run out, you have to go home. Although Liu Bei had learned nothing, he finally had a rough understanding of a few big characters and took off his illiterate hat.
Liu Bei, who returned to his hometown in Zhuo County, should have reached adulthood at this time (that is, a weak crown at the age of twenty).
When you become a man, you have to make a living for yourself.
Individual struggle is always limited; for the course of the times must be taken into account.
The Ling Emperor Dynasty was decaying and decaying, and displaced people were everywhere. Liu Bei recalled his brother Cao Cao, whom he knew in Luoyang, whose father was a lieutenant and still had a bad career; he was a distant monk, and he had no skills, and he did not learn any skills, so what did he rely on to eat? Do you continue to weave yak tails and open a Liu chain store?
The start-up capital has long been squandered by himself in Luoyang, where does the money come from?
As the saying goes, poor people have treacherous plans, and rich people have a long conscience. At this time, Liu Bei is no longer a naïve teenager who left his hometown.
Luoyang has been studying for several years, accustomed to seeing red wine and green wine, drunken paper and gold fans, and making friends with powerful people such as Gongsun Zhan and Cao Cao, Liu Bei's heart has been wild.
In the Huanling era, the local order collapsed, cults spread, and thieves abounded; at this time, there were less than three years left before the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.
In order to maintain local law and order, many areas spontaneously set up or hired displaced people to arm themselves, similar to the regimental training of later generations. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, this thing was called "county thieves"; in the Republic of China, it was called "security regiment", which refers to a group of bandits who sold force and collected protection fees.
This kind of organization has an academic proper noun: "sitting on the koan".
That is, an organization that takes root in a specific area and manages and rules over the households under its rule. As opposed to "Rogue".
Because the "sitting" has to survive for a long time, the degree of oppression of the local area is limited. It ensures that money can be collected from the heads of the local people, and the tax rate does not scare the local people away. Therefore, the essence of "sitting" is the prototype of "gray government".
Economist Mancur Olson Jr. famously argued that:
The establishment of political power originated from the transformation of "liukou" to "sitting".
Note: Regarding the relationship between "sitting" and "order", I have written an article to discuss it in detail before. Interested readers can read by themselves, and the portal is as follows:
Swordsman and Order: The Rise and Fall of Zhao E, Dianwei, and Xu Chu
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the dawn of the gang</h1>
Liu Bei was in his hometown in Zhuoxian County, under the name of his "Luoyang Tour Student", similar to Fang Hongxian of "Siege of the City", relying on the environment of poor information and low education level of the masses at that time, recruiting disciples and forming an illegal armed group.
The Lord was united in the village
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei joined Liu Ji's gang at this time.
The first lord joined the disciples in the township, and Yu and Zhang Fei were insulted. --Book of Shu VI
Insult for it.
According to the timeline of the first transmission, at this time the Yellow Turban Rebellion (184) has not yet broken out. "Imperial Insult". Resist whose insults?
Defend against the insults of "other gangsters" in Zhuo County, Youzhou.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are a bit similar to the role positioning of Iron Bull Er around Song Jiang. Liu Bei went out to negotiate with the other bosses, and Guan Zhang was waist with a sharp blade; the eldest brother gave a look, and Guan Zhang drew his sword at each other, and the blood and fire merged.
Guan Zhang's boldness and martial arts were trained in the early days when he followed Liu Bei to cut people in Zhuo County.
The Huayang Guozhi explains the nature of Liu Bei's group and guan Zhang's role positioning more clearly.
Guan Yu of Hedong guan yu yun chang, zhang fei yide of the same county, and took Zhuang Lie as the (first lord) imperial insult. --"Huayang Guozhi"
"Huayang Guozhi" has more "magnificent" words than "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
What is Grandeur?
In the Context of Eastern Chinese, young descendants who dare to kill people are magnificent.
Taishan Zang Ba, whose father Zang Jie was corrupt and perverted the law, was pulled and shot. When he was eighteen years old, he led hooligans to rob the court and kill people.
The history books call it: Zhuang.
In the eighteenth year of the reign, dozens of guests were sent to the Feixi Mountains to take it, and the sender did not dare to move, because he and his father were killed in the East China Sea, so it was brave to hear. --Book of Wei XVIII
Xiahou Pei was humiliated, and his teacher was humiliated. When he was fourteen years old, he drew his sword and slashed it, and he was desperate for the end of the world.
The history books call it: Lie.
In the fourteenth year of his life, he learned from his teacher, and he who insulted his teacher was killed by a fierce spirit. --Wei Shujiu
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei insulted Liu Bei with "heroism". It couldn't be clearer.
What is Guan Yu's identity? He is a wanted criminal by the Ministry of Public Security. In his hometown of Shanxi (Si Li Colonel Wei Hedong), he committed a human life lawsuit and fled to Zhuo County for refuge. In order to hide his eyes and ears, he even changed his own words: the original word "eternal life", and the word "cloud long".
Guan Yu character cloud long, the original word changsheng, Hedong Xie people also. Outlaws run to Zhuo County. --Book of Shu VI
With this kind of underworld qualifications, Guan Yu undoubtedly became the number one thug of the "Liu Ji gang".
Liu Bei's fellow villager Zhang Fei is also a restless rogue youth. He was very envious of Guan Yu, so he worshiped Yu as a brother and concentrated on practicing his guts and studying the experience of fighting and fighting.
Zhang Feizi Yide, Zhuo County people also, less and Guan Yu in advance of the master. Yu is a few years older, and Fei Brother is doing things. --Book of Shu VI
With the assistance of Guan Zhang, Liu Bei's field became bigger and bigger, more and more helpers, hooligans and rogues joined the gang, and the reputation of the Liu Group spread throughout the ten miles and eight townships.
(Liu Bei) is good friends with heroes, and young people compete with them. --ShuShu II
Note: Hero, the leader of the rebels. Young, that is, juvenile, evil juvenile, frivolous juvenile; rogue rogue means.
Liu Bei has the potential of pyramid schemes.
Every day, the crowd gathered (thick people sat widely) and listened intently to the preaching of the eldest brother Liu Bei's painting cake; Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood by Liu Bei's side all day long, pressing the handle of the sword in their hands, and their eyes were wide open in anger, and they stood up for the eldest brother.
Thick people sit widely, (Guan, Zhang) stand all day long, follow the lord around, do not avoid hardships. --Book of Shu VI
Liu Ji's gang, led by "high-knowledge elements" who knew how to read and hyphenate and had studied in the imperial capital, recruited Guan Yu, a "serial killer", and (supposedly) Zhang Fei, who was "born as a butcher and had a bold heart".
The three giants of Zhuoxian County were born.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the so-called "suppression of the Yellow Turban" truth</h1>
Gangs, a special product of the collapse of order, cannot survive for a long time. The common outcome was to be summoned by the imperial court (Liangshan) or exterminated (Tian Hu, Fang La).
After sweeping away the local gangs, Liu Bei gradually grew into an influential Zakou clique, with the scope of activities centered on his hometown zhuo county.
As the gang grew bigger, Liu Bei wanted to go ashore and end his underworld identity.
Liu Bei came ashore on the basis of military merit.
Here, we should especially correct a misunderstanding, that is, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms - Biography of the Ancestors" and the "Huayang Guozhi" repeatedly emphasized: the so-called "Liu Bei made his fortune by suppressing the Yellow Turban Army".
Chen Shou wrote rather obscurely, not mentioning the specific time, only saying "light and the end, the yellow turban rises"; Chang Xuan picks up people's teeth and wisdom, and makes up for the time of begging thieves (the first year of Zhongping), and says that the first lord was twenty-four years old, which is ridiculous to the extreme.
At the end of the Ling Emperor, the Yellow Turban began, and the prefectures and counties raised volunteer soldiers, and the first lord led his subordinate lieutenant Zou Jing to beg the Yellow Turban Thief for meritorious service. --ShuShu II
The Lord was twenty-four years old. --"Huayang Guozhi"
Liu Bei was indeed whitewashed by military merit, but it had nothing to do with the "suppression of the Yellow Turban".
Because the scope of activity of the main force of the Yellow Turban is not in Youzhou at all.
In the past ten years, hundreds of thousands of disciples have connected the county state, and the people of the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Yu have all responded. Thirty-six parties were placed. General Fang Yu also. --Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Vol. 71
Among the thirty-six sides of the Yellow Turban, the main forces are concentrated in Julu (Jizhou), Yingchuan (Yuzhou), and Nanyang (Jingzhou). The Yellow Turban of Youzhou is not the main force. Moreover, in the first year of Zhongping (184), Liu Bei was only twenty-three years old, and his gang power was not yet strong, so how could he spare the strength to fight against the Yellow Turban parties?
More than 10,000 people in the large square, 67,000 in the small square, each with a handsome canal. --Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Vol. 71
Taiping Qing led, a generous 10,000 people, a small party of 67,000, the world of thirty-six parties. At worst, it would take 200,000 people. Liu Bei had only been in the underworld for a few years at this time? He is a county-level black boss, how many soldiers can he fight under his hands? Chu Ping challenged the Yellow Turban in the first year, he is not dead?
Liu Bei did come ashore by virtue of military merit, but not to suppress the Yellow Turban, but to suppress the "Erzhang Rebellion".
The key to the transformation of Liu Bei Group is to hit the nobles:
Zhongshan Ma Shang Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the chaos of the two sheets</h1>
In the fourth year of Zhongping (187), three years after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Zhongshan Guoxiang [Zhang Chun] and the former Taishan Taishou [Zhang Ju] colluded with the Karasuma Rebellion.
Lord Karasuma and Erzhang were bloodied and led troops to attack Youzhou and Jizhou, and the momentum was so great that even the Liaodong Taishou at that time was killed by the rebels.
Zhongshan Taishou Zhang Chun rebelled against Qiu Li and declared himself the King of Mitian Anding, the Marshal of Karasuma of the Three Counties, and the four prefectures of Kou Liuqing, Xu, You, and Ji, killing the officials. --Book of Wei Thirty
Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, Kou Liuqing, Xu Youji, and killed the officials.
Note: Regarding the chaos of the two sheets, I have written an article before, interested readers and friends can read it by themselves, the portal is as follows:
A thousand soldiers and horses dare to claim the emperor: a brief description of the eight tyrants at the end of the Han Dynasty
The two raiders are you and Ji; and the Zhongshan Kingdom is in Jizhou. The rebel general Zhang Chun was also the Minister of State of Zhongshan (同郡守). Zhongshan could not continue to mix, and local traders and rich families fled.
It was at this time that the Ma merchants Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping of zhongshan were exiled to Zhuo County, Youzhou.
Military horses were war materials; Youzhou and Jizhou were the northern borders of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Horse merchants, to put it bluntly, are black-and-white all-you-can-eat "arms dealers", similar to the "salt owls" of later generations.
Su and Zhang sought refuge under the largest "Liu Ji gang" in Zhuo County, and told the gang leader Liu Bei about Erzhang's rebellion.
Zhongshan merchants Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang paid thousands of dollars, and sold horses around Zhuo County, and they saw different things, but they had a lot of gold and wealth. --ShuShu II
Liu Bei was greatly encouraged to hear the news of the Erzhang rebellion and to receive the golden sponsorship of the exiled Ma Shang.
After more than three years of indecent development after the Yellow Turban Rebellion (184), Liu Bei's gang received a large number of exile households (in the chaotic world, the number of displaced people would increase), and had initial combat capabilities.
The time has come to wash white and go ashore.
Liu Bei contacted his classmate and Fellow Youzhou,000 Gongsun Zhan (公孙瓒). At this time, Gongsun Zhan was also recruited by the imperial court to suppress the Erzhang Rebellion with Liu Yu, the pastor of Suizhou. Liu Bei led the help of the people and accompanied the officers and soldiers to beg for thieves.
At the beginning, the edict ordered Gongsun Zhan to beg Wu Huan and be subject to (Liu) Yu Jiedu.
(Liu) Yu went to Ji, dismissed the provincial tun soldiers, and took Guang Enxin. The envoys were sent to tell the king of Qiao and others to open up the road of goodness. There are also bounty (Zhang) Lift, (Zhang) Pure. Lift, pure out of the plug, the rest are scattered. --Book of the Later Han Dynasty, vol. 73
During the crusade against Zhang Chun, Liu Bei fought extremely bravely. Unfortunately, Karasuma rode a lot, and although Liu Bei was also proficient in equestrianism (like fighting cocks and walking horses) when he was studying in Luoyang, after all, he was not as good as the Hu people in the northern country. During the rebellion, Liu Bei was stabbed by a shot at his horse and died.
Fortunately, Liu Beijianghu has a lot of experience, and these years the gang has not been white, and quickly lay on the ground and closed his eyes and pretended to be dead. At the end of the great war, the Han army cleaned up the battlefield, Liu Bei shouted for help, was pulled out by a board truck, and survived.
With Wu Yong, When Zhang Chun rebelled, (Bei) sui and xiang, encountered the thief in the wild, Beizhong Chuangyang died, after the thief went, the old man took it in a car and was spared. --"Dictionary"
Note: Yang death, that is, pretend death. Yang, Yu also.
It can be seen that this battle was a crushing victory for the Han army.
Because if the Han army is defeated, it will probably be Zhang Chun's rebels and Karasuma's sudden horse that will clean up the battlefield. That Liu Bei not only had his life in danger, but I was afraid that even those two big ears would be cut off by the rebels.
Liu Bei was awarded the title of "An Xi Wei" for his military merits in suppressing Erzhang.
After the thief dies, the old man is spared by carrying it in a car. Later, he was awarded military merit as Lieutenant Anxi Nakayama. --"Dictionary"
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms says that Liu Washu was enfeoffed by "suppressing the Yellow Turban"; the "Dianluo" says that Liu Washu was enfeoffed by "suppressing Zhang Chun". There is no consensus.
Why do I take the fish and say it, but abandon it?
Because Anxi County is in Zhongshan Country. The rebel general Zhang Chun happened to be the Minister of State of Zhongshan.
Liu Bei suppressed Zhang Chun, and the area of operation must have been near the Zhongshan State of Jizhou; after that, the "Three Reciprocal Laws" (as explained above) were used to arrange employment in the vicinity. Just like his grandfather who was a county commander in Fan County, Yanzhou East County.
Therefore, Liu Bei made his fortune by mixing with the underworld and sitting in his hometown of Zhuo County; Liu Bei went ashore to wash white, but he relied on Zhongping's fourth year (187) to participate in the suppression of The Rebellion of Zhang Chun in Zhongshan; it had nothing to do with the suppression of the Yellow Turban.
Liu Bei made his fortune by military merit, and also explained why Liu Bei wanted to angrily whip the post.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > angry whip</h1>
Postmaster, whose position is to inspect and evaluate the county-level officials (supervisory counties) of the two Han Dynasties. What's it like? The postmaster is similar to the "lower-level history of thorns".
The history of the thorn patrols the county and examines the county sheriff; the post patrols the counties under the county, and evaluates the county order and the county lieutenant. In today's parlance, it is the secretary of the county discipline inspection committee who "concurrently manages personnel."
Note: Liu Bei's "Anxi County Lieutenant" is equivalent to today's county public security bureau chief.
Liu Bei's angry whipping of the post (Yanyi put this file on Zhang Sanye's head) is a passage that readers and friends are familiar with. Not much more.
Supervise the mail to the county, and prepare it, and prepare it.
Why did Liu Bei angrily whip the post and destroy his future?
The official narrative is very cryptic.
The overseer went to the county on official business, and first asked for advice from the Lord, but did not understand. --ShuShu II
It was said that Liu Bei wanted to ask to see the inspector, but the secretary held the shelf and refused to condescend.
The Canon law explains it more clearly:
Later, the prefecture and county were edicted, and those who had military merit as senior officials were put in charge of the sand and were suspected of being dispatched. Supervise the mail to the county, and prepare it, and prepare it. Bei wanted to see the overseer, and the overseer said that he would not see the prefect, and he hated it. --"Dictionary"
That is to say, Liu Bei is going to be picked up. When the governor came to Anxi County, he came to expel Liu Bei.
Why was Liu Bei picked up?
Because before Liu Bei came ashore, he was the biggest gang leader in Zhuo County, Youzhou. Such a big hooligan with a lot of cases, not serving a prison sentence, but serving as the head of the county public security bureau within the imperial system?
Needless to ask, Liu Bei's background check is definitely not passed.
Liu Bei was "not very happy to study" when he was studying in Luoyang, and there was nothing to be desired without learning, which was seriously inconsistent with the Employment Strategy of the Eastern Han Dynasty (prefecture and county clans, Qingliu celebrities).
The person in power at this time was the Spirit Emperor.
Liu Bei relied on the knife to lick the blood, folded countless brothers, and even himself was stabbed by karasuma suddenly under the horse, and almost lost his life, only to exchange for the price of An Xiwei, who actually said that he would pick it up? Are you a fart when the Han Ling Emperor speaks?
Unload and kill donkeys, cross rivers and tear down bridges. This was the pain in Liu Bei's heart. It is also the reason why he often scolded the Ling Emperor to Zhuge Liang in his old age.
Pro-villain, far sage, after which Han so fell into decadence also. When the former emperor was there, whenever he discussed this matter with his subjects, he did not hesitate to sigh and hate Huan and Lingye. --"The Table of Teachers"
Pro villain, far away sage. What does Liu Bei mean? Let's just say that the inspector is a villain, and I Liu Bei is a sage. Because you Ling Emperor didn't use me Liu Bei, the imperial court fell into ruin. Hahaha.
To tell the truth, the Ling Emperor's work of unloading and killing donkeys was indeed too immoral. Or how to call it "spirit"; chaos without damaging the spirit, the standard of evil.
Inspector Yu may have forgotten that although Liu Bei did not learn any techniques, he was the black boss of the border area of Youzhou before, and he had a large number of outlaws who killed people and crossed the border.
Liu Bei worked as a "sit-in" in Zhuo County, by selling the blood and lives of his brothers and squeezing the resources of the local people. Liu Bei's growth history is the history of the bandit gang's fortune.
The core rule of the gang is "blood reward". namely:
How many resources can I exchange for this life, how much silver is worth.
This is the truth that the exiles who are struggling on the line of life and death believe in.
in other words:
I Liu Bei, the An Xi Lieutenant, were bought with blood. If you want to take it from me, you will have to pay the price of blood.
In the social pattern of resources division, the bottom line for maintaining survival is a blood line. Breaking through the blood line will inevitably lead to bleeding. - "The Law of Blood Rewards"
Breaking through Liu Bei's blood line, the postmaster was unlucky.
(Prepared) Straight into the post, two hundred rods, untie the silk around his neck and wear a horse, abandoning the official and dying. --ShuShu II
Two hundred rods.
I can only understand Chen Shou's record as a song pen that "conceals evil for the ancestors."
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the court staff was twenty, and it could be erected under the staff. Liu Bei's staff supervised the post of two hundred, it must have been broken, completely blurred with flesh and blood, and people and animals could not distinguish between them. This also echoes the "abandonment of official duties" in the following article.
Many readers may not be able to understand why Liu Bei is angry with the postmaster, which is in serious conflict with his "image of Renjun".
Liu Bei's anger at supervising the post, combined with the background of time, stems precisely from his "underworld stance" and "blood reward thinking".
In the fourth year of Zhongping (187), Liu Bei was a border black boss who was full of rivers and lakes and had just been recruited by the imperial court, and he almost died on the battlefield (Zhongchuangyang died) for such a small official (county lieutenant) with a sesame green bean. You want to take what I bought with my blood, and I want you to pay the price of blood.
Repaying virtue with virtue and complaining with directness; this is the origin of Liu Bei's "name of the tyrant.".
Stronger than the nest of the novel who can't stop crying, it is so strong that it does not know where to go.
In the past, Zhou Yu had a saying:
Liu Bei has the posture of a tyrant, and the generals of Yu and Zhang Fei will not be used by people for a long time.
Lu Su also said:
Liu Bei, the world's tyrant.
The Battle of Lu Xun Yiling sighed:
Liu Bei was famous in the world, and Cao Cao was worried.
The Three Governors of Eastern Wu commented on Liu Bei as such; a glimpse of the leopard showed the whole picture. Although the third son was virtuous, he was not as good as Wei Wu, and his words became a proverb:
"Today's heroes, only the king and the ear."
In the fourth year of Zhongping, Anxi County, Zhongshan, Jizhou, was in a mess and stained with blood. Twenty-six-year-old Liu Bei, who died overseeing the post, abandoned his official life and began his magnificent legendary life.
This is Liu Bei's history of his family.
This is the dawn of heroes.
