Han Feizi Youyun: Confucianism uses literature to mess with politics, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban.

What does this chivalrous refer to? It's a hero, it's a chivalrous spirit, but more, it refers to the group that arose in the unique social environment of ancient times, the group of 'rangers', these people are like the Ma Teng brothers, they have momentum, reputation, and personal friendships.

But most of the chivalry in the late Han Dynasty could only move closer to their careers in the end, because at this time, the selection of officials was based on the size of their reputation, so as a ranger, it was also a shortcut to enter the officialdom and become a scholar.

'Shinong Industry and Commerce', businessmen are at the bottom, and businessmen are not allowed to be officials for life once they enter the city, which is also the reason why Ma Play does not become a businessman. Becoming a scholar is probably the dream of ninety percent of the common people in ancient times, so it is said that the official-oriented thinking of the Chinese nation over the past 5,000 years has not been achieved overnight, but is the dregs of the 2,000-year-old feudal society.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather turned cooler, and Ma Teng went out more and more frequently, and Ma Yue and Guan Yu were often left at home with a group of children to read and practice martial arts, and it became so deserted that people were quite unaccustomed to it.

These days, Ma Teng and those rangers have gradually begun to move to the county seat, Ma Yue doesn't know what Ma Teng wants to do, but he knows that Ma Teng must have his own reasons for doing this, he just misses his eldest brother and second brother very much, seeing that the New Year is coming, his brother is becoming more and more homeless.

"Brother Guan, do you think I punched this time?"

Guan Yu, who was sitting on the stone on the side, squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, and when he heard Ma Yue ask this, he looked up, Ma Yue and his three nephews were all in the same boxing fight, and the four little guys were sweating in such weather, and they were all practicing martial arts to Guan Yu.

He was very pleased and said: "Douzi, you played well, Chao'er's arm bent a little, it's good to be easy to defend, there is life in the fist, and the fist is seven points of strength, such as being a man to leave three points of leeway, and landscape painting pays attention to a blank space is this truth." ”

Ma Yue was surprised when he heard it, Guan Erye still knows landscape painting? He doesn't understand landscape painting, but he knows the joints, he will use all his strength to hit the straight arm out, and the anti-shock force will be all pressed on the joints, if you bend a little and do not lock the joints, the force will be on the pectoralis major muscle, not to mention that the body will be driven by greater strength, just if the joints are not locked, it is easier to close the fist and it is not easy for people to catch the flaws.

Ma Chao does have a talent for martial arts, and his physical fitness is also good, the nine-year-old Ma Chao is as strong as a little calf, with thick eyebrows and big eyes like Ma Teng, but the biological mother Pei has Qiang blood, Ma Chao's hair is not as black and bright as Ma Yue and Ma Xiu, some yellow, high nose and deep eyes, and he plays the boxing techniques taught by Guan Yu one after another with a small face, and he learns faster than Ma Yue.

After an hour of punching, Ma Yue's physical strength was a little unbearable, so he sat down next to Guan Yu and said, "Brother Guan is really knowledgeable, and he even understands landscape painting. ”

Guan Yu smiled, "I don't know landscape painting, that sentence was said when I was taught by the boxer when I was in Xie County, at that time I was the same as Chao'er's posture, punching must be very strong, as the saying goes, it is extremely rigid and easy to break, the master always taught me to leave three points, and in the end I still killed someone." ”

Ma Yue moved his wrist and said: "I have lived in this small village all my life, and the farthest place I have been to is Zhangshan, and I have never even been to the nearest county seat of Longxian, tell me what you have seen and heard along the way." ”

"Okay, then I'll tell you about it."

Guan Yu clapped his hands and began to speak, "That was still the first year of Xiping, at that time, the county leader of Xie County was named Hou Sheng, who was greedy and vulgar, a certain hometown Xie Liang was a good place, producing salt and iron, Hou Sheng controlled the salt and iron business and deducted the money and grain of the helpers, and the people were angry and about to stir up a civil uprising. ”

Ma Yue listened to the silence, just like the later generations who deducted the wages of workers, it was indeed despised, but he was a little confused and asked: "Why can it provoke a popular uprising?" ”

Ma Yue knew that in this era, the idea of loyalty to the monarch is very powerful, and the people's rebellion is like a rebellion, and the great crime of the nine clans, who dares to risk the world's condemnation to lead the people's rebellion.

Guan Yu then opened his mouth and said, Ma Yue understood.

"At that time, someone in the county called Yang Feng my friend, he was a salt and iron mercenary, he was very righteous, he had a lot of dealings with rangers, and he had a great reputation within a radius of 100 miles, just like your brother, a very powerful person, this is such a person, his mother was seriously ill, but he had no money for treatment, and he went to the county government to ask for wages but was beaten out, and then he began to incite the people to revolt."

"In order to prevent him from making a big mistake, I broke into the county government that night and killed Hou Sheng first, and then I escaped from Hedong and was rescued by Yang Feng, if it wasn't for Yang Feng's brothers who rescued me all the way, I wouldn't have survived now."

"Brother Guan, your martial arts are so strong, and there are officials who can catch you?"

Ma Yue really couldn't figure it out, Guan Yu, who was a young man, could still kill him?

Guan Yu's face was full of wind and frost, and he smiled heartily and stretched out his big hand to rub Ma Yue's hair.

"Silly boy, my martial arts are not strong, at least I was not strong at that time, then Hou Sheng has a nephew named Hou Lan, do you know?"

Hou Lan? Ma Yue is in the circle, if Guan Yu mentions Lu Bu and Zhang Fei with him, he can still talk a thing or two, but if he wants to talk about Hou Lan, he really doesn't know who it is.

"Is that Hou Lan's martial arts very high?"

"No, no, no, Hou Lan is a eunuch, a great eunuch who is close to today's son, and on the second day of Hou Sheng's death, the entire division was under martial law, and the roads were blocked, and hundreds of people with armor were not at all able to resist by personal bravery."

Guan Yu paused, looked at Ma Yue with his eyes and said: "Xiaodouzi, don't be superstitious about personal force, no matter how strong a person's strength is, he is still a person after all, and if he fires a bow and crossbow, he will have to die if he is a reincarnated overlord." ”

"Then how did you escape?"

"Yang Feng's mother died of illness that night, he buried his mother in the backyard at night, and the next day at noon, the whole family was vegetarian, and I lay in the coffin for seven days."

"Ahh Ma Yue was shocked, he was shocked that this Yang Feng was so powerful, completely ignoring the etiquette.

"Then they carried me to a valley, and I saw the light of day again, and I slept in the coffin for seven days and I was not far from death, and there was a gang of bandits in the valley, and I stayed there for half a year."

As if thinking of the unpleasant exile life in the past, Guan Yu's face was a little painful, and a cool breeze blew Guan Yu got up and tightened his dark blue hemp waist, and said, "It's not early, let's go back to the village." ”

It can be seen that after Wang Yuanshan eliminated Guan Yu's case record in the Longxian County Government, Guan Yu felt a lot more relaxed, otherwise he would not have told him so many things, usually Ma Yue would never have thought that Guan Yu also had such a painful experience, and at this time he really understood the deep meaning behind Guan Yu's words in the North Broken Temple in the village that day.

The horseman is happy for a while, although it is enough for the gentlemen to swallow thousands of miles, but the greater humiliation often brings after the pleasure and revenge that are not self-sufficient. Guan Yu has been praised by the hometown rangers, and after five years, the villagers still have to give a thumbs up when they mention his name, but the price paid is even deeper.

His son is six years old, but Guan Yu has only been a father for three days.
