The three people are like-minded, and they hit it off at first sight.
At the end of the article, the three men were described as burning incense and worshipping, and they vowed: "I miss Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Although the surnames are different, since they are brothers, Qi Xin will work together to help the poor; Serve your country, rest in peace. I don't want to be born on the same day in the same year, I just want to die on the same day in the same year After heaven and earth, I will learn from this heart, be ungrateful, and kill heaven and man together! " After the oath, Liu Bei was sworn as his younger brother, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as his younger brothers.
