Therefore, Guan Yu's business of selling dates and Zhang Fei's business of selling pork mostly came from the imagination of later generations and the fabrication of operas and novels. This is like Guan Gong's dragon crescent moon blade, which was not produced during the Three Kingdoms period.
But I have to say that even if it is fabricated, this setting is reasonable.
Why? Because Liu Bei's early career is probably clear, since he worked as a weaver and a peddler, it is normal for his general Guan to sell dates and pork.
Second, even if they are really engaged in selling dates and pork, it is normal to have good skills.
Why? There are many analogies in history. For example, Fan Kuai, the general of Liu Bang, is a man who kills pigs and dogs. Guan Ying seems to have sold cloth, and Zhu Hai, a warrior who helped Xinlingjun steal symbols to save Zhao, also engaged in a similar occupation. Zhuan Xu also went to learn how to kill Wu Wangliao with grilled fish. It can be seen that what you do for a living does not affect people's martial arts cultivation. There are few special knights in history, most of them are part-time.
Third, Spark Minister can discuss this issue for friends from the perspective of restoring history as much as possible.
1. How is Liu Bei's martial arts? You can probably see the martial arts level of his brothers. Friends who have seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms all think that Liu Bei's martial arts is not high. If he hadn't stood in the way in three British wars, perhaps Guan He and Zhang would have won. In fact, Liu Bei's martial arts should be good in history. According to the biography of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei made many contributions in his early years, which led to the spelling out of a county commander and county magistrate. His martial arts are too bad. What can he do to fight? After Liu Bei entered Shu, Peng Yang, who was dissatisfied with him, secretly scolded him. Old leather? What is Ge? It means veteran. Considering that Liu Bei's army has been scattered by others many times, isn't it a pity for an old man who has fought all his life?
And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are for Liu Bei? Defeated Yes, natural kung fu has surpassed Liu Bei. Even if introspection doesn't mention that the two men are ten thousand enemies, even if there is this, you should know that they are good at fighting.
2. Where did Guan Yu and Zhang Fei learn their martial arts? This is not easy to verify. But we know from the big environment at that time that it should not be difficult for them to learn a good kung fu. Why? Because one of them was from Hedong and the other was from Zhuojun, all kinds of forces in Hedong were complicated at that time, not only the mob, but also the forces of the southern Xiongnu. Almost everyone there must practice kung fu to protect themselves. Lu Bu is a native of Wuyuan (Baotou) and Zhang Liao is a native of Yanmen. Their hometown belongs to the generalized Hedong Hetao area. Guan Yu's home is farther south than theirs, but learning martial arts is the fashion in Hedong. Guan Yu later killed someone and had to climb the Taihang Mountain in Lvliang, where thieves were everywhere, before he could escape to Zhuo Jun. When he met Liu Bei, it was inconceivable that he was not good at martial arts. Similarly, Zhuo Jun is often attacked by Xianbei and Wuhuan people, and practicing kungfu is also the basic demand of Youzhou people. So it is not surprising that Zhang Fei and Liu Bei are good at kung fu.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, people in the three regions had the best kung fu skills, including women who could mount a horse and fight. One is Liangzhou, the other is Bingzhou, and the other is Youzhou. Qiang is seriously ill. Guan Yu's hometown Hedong belongs to Bingzhou, while Zhuo Jun, the hometown of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, belongs to Youzhou. Bing and Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others, Youzhou and White Horse General Gongsun Zan, Liangzhou have Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Xiu and others.
3. What did Liu Bei do for a living in his early years? Knowing this, you probably don't have to mention Zhang Ergong selling dates and meat.
Liu Bei is knitting mats and selling shoes! This is exactly what Liu Bei did with his mother when he was a child. Later, when Liu Bei got up, Zhang Shiping, a big businessman, was willing to pay for horses. Why? It is unnatural to rely solely on Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness.
Therefore, you can think about how Liu Bei made a living in his early years and how Guan He gave full play to his military superiority fairly.
