Many of his friends had doubts about Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's martial arts. These two were valiant and invincible. Where did their martial arts come from? Long Jiuxiao gave a simple analysis!
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's origins weren't written in the Three Kingdoms, but according to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. We can learn:
Zhang Fei's family had a luxurious mansion and fertile farmland. They could recruit hundreds of warriors, horses, and high-quality iron. A typical landlord! If it was now, he would also be a tycoon, an out-and-out tycoon.
Since he was a rich man, Zhang Fei's living conditions would not be bad.
First, they were born with a strong constitution, large muscles, could eat and drink, had a strong body, and loved martial arts. They also had the resources to find a martial master to teach them!
Secondly, they had sufficient nutrition and meat in their daily meals. Moreover, one should not underestimate the merchants in ancient times. Back then, their status was higher than that of farmers. They had the capital to continue their business, so they must have a certain level of assets! Therefore, he had enough money.
With these two qualities, it could be said that Zhang Fei's starting line was much higher than ordinary people. After all, how could he not have the strength to wield a spear or a sword?
If everyone is interested, try playing with a Han sword. How long can you play with a sword that weighs more than 2 pounds? Wrist strength, grip strength, waist strength, and arm strength were too particular! Without strength, you won't be able to play for a while.
Moreover, the forging and smelting techniques of ancient times were not very mature. At least, this was the case during the Three Kingdoms period. There was no such exquisite forging technique today. Therefore, the weapon must be heavy, definitely heavier than modern weapons!
Without strength, he could not play at all.
" Let's take the most direct example around us. Those Mongolians drink goat's milk and eat mutton every day. Their physique is stronger than ordinary people who have practiced fitness. This is because they don't want to look good. As long as they are practical, they won't lose out on physical strength. Each of them had a big and round waist. In terms of wrestling, it was difficult for ordinary people to beat them!
Then how did Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial arts come about?
From the description of the novel, we can carefully speculate.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the others 'martial arts came from their professions!
Moreover, this was unquestionable. Long Jiuxiao had analyzed it carefully.
They summed up their experience and skills in practice, creating their own unique stabbing techniques (this might not be high enough, so they changed to spear techniques. After all, there was the use of a spear to draw a line) and saber techniques, and constantly perfected them in actual combat!
Zhang Fei
Many of my friends have never seen a pig being slaughtered in the countryside during the Lunar New Year. In my impression, a pig needs seven or eight men to work together to press it against the door to kill it. Therefore, as a butcher, Zhang Fei kills pigs and cows every day. It's a small case for him to deal with a pig that weighs a few hundred pounds by himself. It's impossible without strength. He must have trained his strength and is not afraid of seeing blood. with great strength, the body is not damaged.
Zhang Fei's main occupation was killing pigs and selling meat.
To kill a pig, one had to use a butcher knife. He used a knife to pierce through the thick pig skin, so Zhang Fei used a spear as his weapon. Whoever saw it would be unlucky. This was a professional habit, and in the end, it actually became a martial arts routine, a sharp weapon for killing enemies.
F * ck, it was a little bloody. Who could resist killing people like pigs? Even a peerless hero would find it hard to be stabbed.
After killing the pigs, how should they shave off the feathers?
After the pig was killed, its fur had to be removed. Before removing the fur, the pig had to be inflated to make the skin tight.
The usual method was to cut a hole in the skin of the pig's hind legs, stab it from the hind hoof to the abdomen with an iron rod, then pull out the iron rod and inflate the abdomen.
At that time, Zhang Fei did not have a pump and could only blow with his mouth. I wonder if everyone has blown a balloon. It was one of those extra-large balloons. Ordinary people couldn't boast about it. Even people who were especially good at bragging could not brag.
Zhang Fei blew hard into the pig, making it bulge like a ball. Then he beat it with a stick and scalded it with boiling water.
Therefore, Zhang Fei's lung capacity was very large and his breath was sufficient. This was very impressive. Zhang Fei could brag as much as he wanted. Could ordinary people do that?
That was why Zhang Fei was able to shout Xia Houjie off his horse at Changban Hill. This was not something that people could imagine.
The metal rod was a small spear, so Zhang Fei naturally chose a spear as his weapon. His arm strength was definitely extraordinary!
In addition, Zhang Fei had been blowing on pigs for a long time, so he had developed a huge lung capacity that could scare off Cao Cao's million soldiers with a roar in front of the long slope. Although it was a little exaggerated, it was still very awesome. This was Zhang Fei.
The metal rod was different from Zhang Fei's weapon, but the technical features were the same. When killing a pig, he didn't use a butcher knife to cut it, but to stab it.
Therefore, the Pig Slaughtering Knife was not a knife, but similar to a spear. Practice makes perfect. If you use the spear for a long time, your kung fu will improve.
This could explain why Zhang Fei's weapon was the Eight-Foot Snake Spear.
1. Pig Slaughtering Knife and Iron Stake were also used to stab people. Therefore, Zhang Fei's weapon was used to stab people. However, the 18-foot spear was used to stab people. To Zhang Fei, stabbing was child's play. However, to his opponent, it was an endless regret.
Cheng Yaojin had three tricks up his sleeve and could fool many people. Zhang Fei's movements were even more powerful. Killing three to five generals was nothing?
2. The Snake Spear was very long, but it was actually an enlarged version of the iron spike used to kill pigs.
Just like writing calligraphy, the hardest thing to read was the smallest pen and the largest pen. The other strokes were the same. Martial arts was the same. If one was used to this kind of movement, it would be a killing move. If one was familiar with it, it would be a unique move.
3. The Eight-Foot Snake Spear could be waved, which was like a rod used to beat a bloated pig.
Long periods of practice, technique, and accuracy were all impeccable.
4. Familiarizing oneself with the human body is like familiarizing oneself with a pig's body. One can quickly find one's weakness, quickly end a battle, and also know where to stab and what kind of damage to cause.
5. He often thought of the pig's body as a human body practice. It was a bit like cutting a cow, so he killed the enemy with ease. Zhang Fei regarded killing as a form of art.
That was why it was said that killing pigs and cows was a superb killing technique when one reached a certain realm. I believe many of my friends would agree with Long Jiuxiao's viewpoint.
If you have the heart, you can go and look at the butchers in the countryside. They all look the same. They are all tall and strong, with broken eyes and fierce faces. In fact, they are all occupational diseases. It matched Meng Zhangfei's appearance.
Because he often killed pigs, Zhang Fei's martial arts was very good.
Martial arts were all comprehended by oneself. Practice made perfect, but he had fought many times. The real fighting experts were among the common people, and that was the source of kung fu.
He remembered that when he was 17 years old, he went to visit Liu Fengcheng and saw Zhang Fei's statue.
He had once composed a poem on the spot:
Zhang Fei beat the drum and Liu Fengcheng, fierce and fierce, brave and fierce.
Since ancient times, the two Zhang He have been discussed together, trying to imitate heroes and promote heroes.
Guan Yu
Some people said that Guan Yu used to sell beef offal. This might be a misunderstanding. From the perspective of being paired with Zhang Fei. It was not a bad choice. After all, Romance of the Three Kingdoms did not give a detailed description.
Guan Yu had never sold beef offal before…Legend has it that he sold red dates and green beans.
Face like red dates = selling red dates, head green hat = selling green beans (I'm afraid it's not a forgiveness hat.) Don't think too much about it.)
Guan Yu had sold dates on his escape.
Moreover, he had been selling dates for five to six years. No matter what, it was a profession.
However, Guan Yu was not good at business and could not sell for a good price, but he could still make a living, which meant that his purchasing channels were not ordinary.
Wasn't there a saying?
Guan Yu sells tofu---the man is strong and the goods are weak.
Guan Yu sells tofu--
If they had purchased the goods according to normal payment, the capital would have been used up long ago.
Guan Yu had a criminal record, so it was unlikely that he would run out to snatch the dates. Besides, even if they wanted to rob, they should rob money.
Guan Yu sold dates. But Guan Yu didn't have his own date trees, he had to steal someone else's dates.
After Guan Yu chose to take good care of the jujube garden, he could only go to the jujube garden to pick dates himself. It's what we're talking about now.
Usually, the jujube garden was owned by the landlord, so hitting his dates was like playing Fight the Landlord. There was no need to pay, so he felt at ease.
Sometimes, the commotion was too big. In order to avoid trouble and to maintain a long-term supply of goods.
Guan Yu always wore green. When he saw someone coming, he would climb up the jujube tree to hide. He was dressed in green and had a date red face, which was good for hiding among the dates. No one would be able to see him hiding on the jujube tree.
Isn't it a little like The Emperor's New Clothes? Deceiving oneself.
Because it wasn't his jujube tree, plus time was tight, and the task was heavy. Presumably, Guan Yu wouldn't care about the jujube tree and would only use the big bamboo pole to hit it.
"We all know that in the past, people used a long stick to swing it back and forth. From this, it could be evolved into a saber technique. Therefore, Guan Yu's weapon later on was a long saber. It was very powerful when he swung it. Like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, it was clean and neat. There was a saying in the art of war: the spear would pierce a line, and the rod (knife) would sweep a large area. As long as a sharp saber was used to the extreme, the combination of strength and speed would become the most lethal weapon!
How much strength was needed to swing the bamboo pole in the branches and leaves? Guan Yu had been fighting like this for five to six years. He had broken ropes, saws, wood, and pierced through rocks with water. He had developed endless arm strength. This was how kung fu was trained!
He had been hunting dates all year round, so his arm and wrist strength were very strong. Just like training in the gym, his arm strength was outstanding. Coupled with his height, he had an advantage in riding a horse. He was born with good conditions. He was more than two meters tall and had great strength. He dared to fight and fight. With a little skill, when he swung a 80-pound saber, his aura could indeed scare the enemy.
If a person could wield a 80-pound broadsword like a windmill. Instantly killing the enemy.
The so-called warm wine kills Hua Xiong. What was important was to catch them off guard and attack when they were unprepared. Using speed to catch the enemy off guard, Guan Yu had killed Hwa Xiong in an instant before the wine had cooled down.
Poor Brother Huaxiong, he was still feeling smug in his heart. Pride was bound to fail, and he was unexpectedly defeated by a nobody. He would not die blindly!
From the technical characteristics, waving a bamboo pole was exactly the same as waving a large knife. Therefore, Guan Yu chose the eighty-two-pound broadsword. Picking dates helped Guan Yu improve his martial arts, but it also caused a serious flaw in his martial arts.
Guan Yu and Zhao Yun had once fought at Ox-Head Mountain. The battle took place on a mountain path with trees on both sides.
"Guan Yu mounted his horse, holding the Green Dragon Saber upside down. His phoenix-like eyes were wide open, and his silkworm-like eyebrows were erect.”
This meant that Guan Yu was full of ambition and did not take Martial God Zhao Zilong seriously.
" The branches on the mountain are like waves splitting apart. Guan Yu ran straight to a poplar tree.”
This seemingly familiar environment would definitely give Guan Yu a misconception.
"Zhao Yun saw that Guan Yu didn't come to fight generals but entered an uninhabited realm, so he wanted to ask.”
As expected, Guan Yu acted as if he didn't see anyone. Zhao Yun didn't even have the chance to ask.
Guan Yu treated the white poplar tree as an imaginary enemy and killed it with one slash. It was a habit of his profession!
"Guan Yu and Red Hare are fast. They arrived in front of the tree and cut the poplar tree in half.”
Guan Yu's martial arts originated from picking dates. When he was charging, he was highly focused. The trees beside the road evoked his instinctive reaction. He waved his knife and went straight for the trees. He broke the trees with one slash. It was powerful, but unfortunately, it was a mountain to hit a cow. He made a big fool of himself.
Guan Yu's weakness was also captured and he lost his life.
Guan Yu rushed out of Maicheng, probably to kill his way out of the encirclement and then escape along a mountain road. Unexpectedly, Red Hare tripped and Guan Yu was captured by Ma Zhong.
Although Guan Yu was very tired, his physical exhaustion was not too great. It should be more than enough to deal with a nameless nobody like Ma Zhong.
However, it was a mountain road again, and there were trees on both sides of the mountain road.
Guan Yu raised his saber to fight, but because there were many trees on both sides, he did not know which tree to cut. In his hesitation, he was bound by Ma Zhong.
A hero of his life, yet he was still defeated by a nobody. He was unwilling! The scene of him killing Hua Xiong was still fresh in his mind.
Why were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei so powerful? Born? The environment? Family background? Heart? Or his personality?
Long Jiuxiao didn't think so. Then what was it?
1. Chaotic times. Heroes emerge in troubled times. They have the motivation to fight.
The barrier between the social classes had been broken, and everyone had the opportunity to rise to the top. The original number of ordinary people who rose to the top was large, so naturally, there would be a group of people who climbed up.
2. Good luck, luck is very important!
a general's achievements are accomplished, and ten thousand bones wither. If you were unlucky and were shot to death on the battlefield, no one would remember you no matter how strong you were. Even without Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Zhao Yu, Wang Fei, and Li Yun would still be this powerful.
3. If you walk the right path, enter the right circle, follow the right people, and come into contact with the new generation of elites. In the world of elites, you will grow rapidly.
Guan and Zhang were in a chaotic world. If they didn't want to be killed, the first thing they had to do was to train their killing skills. With their natural talent and deliberate training, Guan and Zhang had done their best.
Did butchers who killed cows and pigs become heroes, or did heroes only kill pigs and cows before they became famous?
It could only be said that the times created heroes!
Little hidden in the wild, big hidden in the market
Those who were capable hoped to use the surrounding environment to forget about the world and indulge in the outside world. This was Xiao Yin.
Those who were truly capable hid in the marketplace, where crouching tigers and hidden dragons could be found.
Only the top people would hide in the imperial court. Although they were in the midst of noisy politics, they could act as if they were stupid and calmly deal with it.
Zhang Fei disappeared into the crowd. He had joined the group early and followed the boss closely. Liu Bei was a person who wanted to save face and was also a sworn brother. He was just embarrassed to kick away an old employee. It was unreasonable.
Zhang Fei was considered a founding member of the Shu Kingdom, and his talent was not that outstanding.
Xiang Chong, Wang Ping, Zhao Yun, and the others, which one of them was worse than Guan Zhang? Which one is more stable than Guanzhang?
However, he was not a direct descendant. Liu Bei only believed in Guan Zhang. Because everyone had stirred spoons in the same pot and eaten cornbread together, they knew each other very well. Perhaps there were many people who could guard Jingzhou, but I only like to use my brothers. I want my brothers to be small bosses or big bosses for once.
Sometimes, an eagle could fly as low as a chicken, but a chicken could never fly as high as an eagle.
Guan Yu was wanted because he had killed someone. Moreover, Zhang Fei was a real landlord with his own manor.
Liu, Guan, and Zhang represented the three major social forces at the end of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei was born into the royal family, even though it was a declining royal family. Guan Yu was born into a noble family and was on the decline. Zhang Fei was born into a powerful group. This could be considered a strong alliance. The hero did not come from nowhere. How was it a group of losers?
Even if everyone did not agree, these three people could still unite and conquer the world! This was also the behavior of many companies in the early stages of their business!
What was even more interesting was that in this cooperation, Zhang Fei was the one who paid, worked, and provided equipment. In the end, he was ranked last, nominally because of his age.
In fact, according to the evaluation standards of the official nine-grade system, Liu Bei was at least an upper-middle-grade, which was suspected of seniority. Guan Yu might be an upper-middle-grade, which was related to his background. Zhang Fei might not even be able to enter the middle-grade.
Guan Yu's background had always been unclear. There were all kinds of speculations among the people.
It was not until the Kangxi period of the early Qing Dynasty that Zhu Dan, the governor of Jiezhou, made a major discovery when he was digging an ancient well. Excavate Guan Yu's tomb bricks.
On the bricks of the tomb were the names of Guan Yu's grandfather and father, as well as the dates of his birth and death. The information was quite detailed and even mentioned Guan Yu's family situation.
Therefore, Zhu Dan wrote the Tombstone of Guan Houzu.
According to the records on the tomb bricks, the Guan family was actually an aristocratic family of scholars.
Emperor Huan Yanxi three years (AD 160) Gengzi June 24 Guan Yu was born.
On the 24th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, Guan Yu was born in Jiexiafeng Village, Hedong County, Zhili School Department (now Changping Village, Changping Township, Yuncheng). Later, Xie County was promoted to a state, so Guan Yu was said to be a native of Xie Zhou.
When Guan Yu grew up, he married Hu as his wife. On May 13, the first year of Guanghe, Emperor Ling, he gave birth to his son Guan Ping. His biological son!
Guan Yu met with the Eastern Han government in Zhuo County (now Zhuo County, Hebei Province). The government mobilized the local despots to organize armed forces and suppress the Yellow Turban uprising together.
It was here that Guan Yu got to know the local Liu Bei who was gathering troops (Liu Bei claimed to be the descendant of Liu Sheng, the son of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty) and Zhang Fei.
The three of them were like-minded and liked each other at first sight. They respected each other and were extremely friendly, like brothers. There was no mention of becoming sworn brothers here.
The three ambitious young men with no social status admired each other. He wasn't a loser.
Later generations said that Liu, Guan and Zhang had sworn to be brothers in Taoyuan.
