Since ancient times, the general trend of the world has been that if it is divided for a long time, it must be united, and if it is united for a long time, it must be divided.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the world fell apart, and Qin Shihuang unified the world.

After the fall of Qin, Chu and Han fought. Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, destroyed Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and established the Han Dynasty.

When the news reached Emperor Huan, he appointed eunuchs to kill Zhongliang.

During the reign of Emperor Ling, the power of eunuchs became even more rampant.

General Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan planned to eliminate the eunuchs, but because they leaked the secret, they were killed by the eunuchs.

These ten powerful eunuchs were called the Ten Changshi, and they played with the Emperor Ling as a puppet.

Emperor Ling actually called the leader Zhang Rang "father".

The eunuchs exercised power, and disasters came from heaven. Cai Yong, the eunuch, reported to Emperor Ling, but he was framed by the eunuchs and demoted back to his hometown.

From then on, the world was in chaos and thieves sprang up.

There are three brothers in Julu County. The eldest brother is named Zhang Jiao, the second brother is named Zhang Bao, and the third brother is named Zhang Liang.

Zhang Jiao was originally an undistinguished scholar. By chance, he got three volumes of a heavenly book called "The Essential Art of Taiping".

Zhang Jiao was familiar with the Book of Heaven and learned how to summon wind and rain and spread beans to form soldiers.

In the first year of Zhongping, the plague was prevalent. Zhang Jiao used magic to save countless people, calling himself a "great virtuous teacher".

He taught five hundred disciples, traveled around the world, established thirty-six districts, and gathered hundreds of thousands of people. He spread the word: "Cang Tian is dead, Huang Tian should stand. If you are born in Jiazi, the world will be lucky." He sent his disciple Ma Yuanyi to carry gold and silver treasures.

, went to Luoyang to make friends with the eunuch and became his internal correspondent.

He also ordered the construction of yellow flags and set a date for the uprising.

Because something happened to a disciple in Tangzhou and was discovered by the government and reported to the court, General He Jin killed Ma Yuanyi and captured Feng Xu.

After Zhang Jiao heard the news, he hurriedly launched a rebellion and called himself "General Tiangong", Zhang Bao called him "General Digong", and Zhang Liang called him "General Renggong".

The rebels wore yellow scarves on their heads and were so powerful that the officers and soldiers fled upon hearing the news.

When Emperor Ling got his revenge, he sent Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to lead troops to fight against the thieves.

Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, learned of Zhang Jiao's invasion and posted a notice recruiting volunteers.

There was a hero in Zhuo County who was eight feet tall, with ears hanging down from his shoulders, and hands above his knees. He was originally a descendant of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. His surname was Liu Mingbei, and his courtesy name was Xuande. He was twenty-eight years old.

His family lives in Lousang Village, Zhuo County. There is a big mulberry tree nearby, which is a hundred feet high and looks like a car hood from a distance.

A fortune teller once predicted: "This family will have a noble man." When Liu Bei was a child, he was playing with his children under a tree and said: "As the emperor, I should ride in this car." He had studied and worshiped Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi as his sons.

Master, and Gongsun Zan are good friends.

Because his father died early and his family was in decline, he had to sell straw sandals and weave mats to make ends meet.

He read the recruitment notice and couldn't help but sigh.

Suddenly, someone behind him said loudly, "Why are you sighing if you don't contribute to the country?" Liu Bei looked back and saw that the man was eight feet tall, with a head like a leopard, eyes like copper rings, a swallow's chin, and beards standing straight like tiger whiskers.

, spoke like thunder, and asked him his name.

The man said: "My surname is Zhang Mingfei, and my courtesy name is Yide. My ancestors lived in Zhuo County. I have some property and make a living by selling wine and killing pigs. I specialize in making friends with the world's heroes. I just saw you sighing when you looked at the list, so I came to ask." Liu Bei said that he

Wanting to defeat the thief, but unable to do so, Zhang Fei said he was willing to pay to recruit soldiers and work with Liu Bei to carry out a big event, so the two went to a hotel to drink.

While I was drinking, I saw a big man pushing a cart and stopped in front of the door. When I entered the store, I asked the bartender to get the wine quickly, eat it and join the army.

When Liu Bei saw that the man was nine feet tall, had a beard two feet long, had a complexion like red dates, red eyes, silkworm eyebrows, and a dignified appearance, he invited him to sit with him and asked him his name.

The big man said: "My surname is Guan Mingyu, my given name is Shouchang, later changed to Yunchang, and I am from Hedong Jieliang. I killed a local tycoon due to an injustice and escaped for five or six years. I heard that soldiers were being recruited here, so I came to join the army." The three of them talked more and more.

Speculating, he came to Zhang Fei's village to discuss important matters.

Zhang Fei said: "There is a peach garden behind my village, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Tomorrow we will go to the garden to worship heaven and earth, become brothers, and work together to achieve great things." The next day, Zhang Fei prepared crows in the peach garden.

The three of them burned incense and knelt down to worship cattle and white horses, and made an oath: "The three of us are sworn brothers with different surnames, and we will work together to save the country, help the country, and bring peace to the people. I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I just want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day.

Death. Emperors, emperors and queens can learn from this mentality. Those who are ungrateful and ungrateful will be killed by heaven and man!" Liu Bei is the eldest brother, Guan Yu is the second brother, and Zhang Fei is the third brother.

After offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, they killed cattle and served wine, recruited three hundred warriors, and drank heavily all day long.

The three of them were worried about not having war horses and weapons. Two horse traders came and presented them with fifty war horses, five hundred taels of gold and silver, and one thousand catties of iron.

Liu Bei thanked the guest and invited expert craftsmen to make him a pair of swords, an eighty-two-pound Qinglong Yanyue Sword for Guan Yu, an eight-foot-long steel spear, and armor for Zhang Fei.

Within a few days, more than 500 people gathered to join Liu Yan.

Liu Yan was very happy to see the majesty of the three men. Then he discussed the seniority with Liu Bei. He was Liu Bei's distant uncle, so he treated them as uncle and nephew.

In the battle with the Yellow Turban Army, the three men not only relied on their strong martial arts skills, but also used clever strategies to win the battles in succession.
