Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 724 Someone wants to change

  There are many people in this world, but not all of them know where they are.

   At the beginning, I thought I was the center of the world, but when I grew up, I realized that I was not even the edge of the world.

  The same is true for Liu Bei.

  When he was young, a alchemist once came to his village and sat under the crooked-neck tree at his gate, and said: "This tree is like a canopy, and it will surely produce noble people."

  Then the traveling alchemist was warmly received.

   Liu Bei's parents also regarded this sentence as their expectation for Liu Bei's future, and kept mentioning it, even Liu Bei himself believed it, especially when he had the opportunity to worship under Lu Zhi's family...

  However, when Liu Bei came into contact with other gentry children, this self-inflated brilliance was like soap bubbles under the scorching summer heat. Although it was brilliant for a while, it was eventually destroyed.

  In the county government office in Pingyuan, Liu Bei put down the scroll in his hand and fell silent.

   "Brother, are you looking for me?" Guan Yu walked in from outside the hall.

   "Yun Chang, sit down." Liu Bei put the scroll on the side of the table and asked, "How many new soldiers have been recruited now?"

   Guan Yu said: "The number of refugees has increased in the past few days, and more than a thousand recruits have been recruited, but these recruits are a bit..." After finishing speaking, he stroked his long beard and did not continue.

  Liu Bei nodded, then changed the subject, patted the scroll on the table, and said, "Does Yun Chang know what this scroll is?" Then, without waiting for Guan Yu's answer, he continued, "This is the scroll of Tai Shigong..."

  Plain is also an area with a strong tradition of scriptures. When Liu Bei came here, he naturally either saved money or gave it to others. He did obtain some books, including some manuscripts written by Tai Shigong Shiji.

  Although Liu Bei himself knew what his identity was like, he was still proud of Liu Bang, and naturally he was very concerned about the historical research of the period when Liu Bang made his fortune.

"Yun Chang, I learned a little from reading this book..." Liu Bei said, "Beside the Taizu, there are Xiao Caofan, Chen Zhang, and Zhang. They all have one thing in common. Can Yun Chang know why?" Because they are all brothers , so Liu Bei didn't hide it, and said what he had to say directly, and didn't mean to hide his ambition.

   "I don't know." Guan Yu replied honestly.

"Han Xing had Zhu's family, Tian Zhong, Wang Gong, Ju Meng, and Guo Xie's disciples. Although they defended the literature of the world at the time, they were selfish, honest and honest, and they were worthy of praise. The name is worthy of standing, and the scholars are worthy of attachment..." Liu Bei He patted the scroll lightly, and then chanted a paragraph of it.

  Of course, if people who don’t know history don’t know the meaning of this sentence at all, this is actually Tai Shigong’s description of some civilian rangers in the early Han Dynasty.

  During the early Han Dynasty, there were mainly two types of knight-errants, one was the old aristocrats of the traditional six countries, and the other was commoners.

  And Liu Bang's subordinates gathered the old nobles of the six countries, and also gathered two types of rangers such as commoners.

  Liu Bei is not considered a nobleman.

  Even if he tries his best to wear the same clothes, follow the same etiquette, read the same books, and eat the same food, he is still not regarded as the same kind by the gentry children.

   Can Liu Bei be considered a royal family?

   This seems to be an answer that even Liu Bei is unwilling to think about and face.

   Liu Bei is just a ranger.

  Huaxia seems to have a good impression of the word chivalry since ancient times, a hot-blooded man who draws his sword to ask injustice. Perhaps because of the relationship with Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, the level of rangers became a very strange level in the Han Dynasty.

Because the legal system was imperfect throughout the Han Dynasty, many things among the people could not be dealt with and mediated relatively fairly, so there were knight-errants, and the attitude of knight-errants who drew their swords and sang songs, and acted happily and enmity. Often become the idol of the hot-blooded youth, so the ranger flourished.

  When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were in Luoyang, they often made friends with rangers. They drank and sang with each other, and showed their debauchery.

  However, rangers are not gentry after all, and true gentry children do not value rangers in their bones.

   This point was gradually understood by Liu Bei after a long, long time.

   But it was too late, he had already been given the name of a ranger on his head, and at the beginning he thought that this was not necessarily a bad thing...

   But Liu Bei used to be proud of this name, but now he feels more and more restricted.

  If Liu Bei wants to follow in the footsteps of Liu Bang, then he can have the temperament and habits of a ranger, but he must not be just a ranger...

Below the Zhou Dynasty, with the collapse of the entire social structure, the status of the old aristocrats, who were originally at the bottom, gradually rose. Especially after the Warring States period, basically the original leadership of the older generation declined, and they gained a new voice. The status of the gentry was gradually rising, so those who had mastered a certain amount of literature and martial arts knowledge before the pre-Qin period began to seek their own positioning again, so those who were good at writing were called fighters, and those who were good at martial arts were called rangers.

  And from the pre-Qin period to the Han Dynasty, no matter whether it was internal or external, disputes have never been cut off, so there is a sufficient and necessary condition for warriors and rangers.

   "Trust and faith are trustworthy, and right and wrong are chivalrous." This is the evaluation of Liu Bang's ministers Ji Bu and Luan Bu, and it also established the basic argument of the ranger in the Han Dynasty, so it is also a question that Liu Bei wants to explain.

  Guan Yu thought for a while, and finally understood what his brother Liu Bei meant.

  Liu Bang was able to win against Xiang Yu, part of the reason was that he not only obtained the support of two types of rangers, including the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms and the grassroots commoners.

Although Xiao Caofan and Chen Zhang have different identities, they all have a kind of chivalry in behavior. This kind of temperament fits Liu Bang, and it is precisely because of this that many people are attracted and stay. In the end, Liu Bang's great cause was achieved.

   Now what Liu Bei lacks is people, no one comes to Pingyuan at all, how can we talk about development if no one comes, just relying on his own three brothers, even if they work tirelessly, how big a scene can they support?

  In fact, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both have the temperament of a knight-errant, so they gathered with Liu Bei, focusing on promises and despising life and death. Therefore, after Liu Bei obtained such a volume of Tai Shigong, he realized this from it, and couldn't wait to call Guan Yu, the only one who could still understand him, to discuss it together.

   "Brother's intention... But do you want to start with a hero?" Guan Yu said.

Liu Bei nodded slightly, "If you want to be famous in the world, it should be a matter of the world..." Liu Bang has successfully transformed from a pavilion chief, a libertine, and a ranger to a leader, a leader, and a spiritual representative. So today, Liu Bei, can't he?

   I don’t know if the author defines it like this, will he be scolded...

   The author personally feels that during the Three Kingdoms period, the spirit of rangers was still very strong, and the attitude of the gentry towards rangers was also very subtle, both accepting and excluding...

   Liu Bei is an ambitious man dressed as a ranger...

   Gongsun Zan is full of chivalrous demeanor, but he is not accepted by the gentry...
