Liu Bei became a brother, Guan Yu became a second brother and Zhang Fei became a younger brother. In the next 30 years, the three of them went through ups and downs together, sprinting each other, and finally laid the foundation of Shu Han. This is the story of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu in the first episode of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "The hero tied three knots at the Taoyuan banquet and cut the yellow turban for the first time". Men become brothers of the opposite sex. It can be seen that this story has left an indelible impression on people's hearts. When future generations mention these three people, they will never forget to mention the story of "three-person marriage".
1. According to Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei is older than Guan Yu, and Guan Yu is older than Zhang Fei. So in terms of age, Liu Bei is naturally the boss.
But in fact Guan Yu is one year older than Liu Bei. Liu Laibei was only 28 years old at the end of Taoyuan in the Legend of the Three Kingdoms (A.D. 184). According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei's actual age should be 24 years old.
So how old is Guan Yu?
According to Guan Houzu's tombstone unearthed in Guan Yu's hometown during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, Guan Yu was born on June 24th in the third year of Yan Xi in the Eastern Han Dynasty (A.D. 160). That Guan Yu is only one year old.
Therefore, age is only a small factor that affects Liu Bei to become the boss, not a decisive factor.
Second, Liu Bei claimed to be the Six Kings of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Sheng. After Wang Jing, he was called "Uncle Han Emperor" in qualification. As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words are not very good. One of the purposes of three-person worship should be to engage in business in difficult times. At this point, you need a loud business card.
