There are many people in this world, but not everyone knows where they are.

At first, I thought I was the center of the world, but when I grew up, I realized that I wasn't even at the edge of the world.

The same is true for Liu Bei.

When he was a child, a priest once came to his village, sat under the crooked-necked tree at his door, and said, "This tree is like a canopy, and it will surely produce a nobleman." ”

Then the traveling alchemist was warmly entertained.

Liu Bei's parents also regarded this sentence as an expectation for Liu Bei's future, and kept mentioning it, and even Liu Bei himself believed it, especially when he had the opportunity to worship Lu Zhi's disciple......

However, when Liu Bei came into contact with other scholars and disciples, this self-inflated brilliance was like a soap bubble under the summer heat, although it was gorgeous for a while, but it was finally destroyed.

In the Pingyuan County Ya, Liu Bei put down the scroll in his hand and was silent.

"Big brother, are you looking for me?" Outside the hall, Guan Yu walked in.

"Yun Chang, sit." Liu Bei put the scroll aside on the table, and then asked, "How many new soldiers have been recruited now?" ”

Guan Yu said: "The number of refugees has increased in the past few days, but more than 1,000 recruits have been recruited, but the physique of these recruits is a little ......" After speaking, he stroked his long hair and did not continue.

Liu Bei nodded, then changed the topic, patted the scroll on the table, and said, "Yun Chang, do you know what this scroll is?" Then he didn't wait for Guan Yu to answer, and continued, "This is the book of Taishi Gong......"

The plain is also an area with a strong atmosphere of scriptures, and when Liu Bei arrived here, he naturally either saved or gave away from others, and did obtain some books, including some manuscripts of the Taishi Gongshi.

Although Liu Bei himself knows what his identity is, he is still proud of Liu Bang, and naturally pays great attention to the study of Liu Bang's history.

"Yun Chang, I have learned a little ......from reading this book," Liu Bei said, "On Taizu's side, there are Xiao Caofan, Chen Zhang, and Xiang Xiang...... They all have something in common, what does the cloud chief know? Because they are all his own brothers, Liu Bei does not hide it, and he says it directly if he has anything to say, and he does not hide his ambitions.

"A certain ...... Ignorance. Guan Yu replied honestly.

"Hanxing has the Han family, Tian Zhong, Wang Gong, Ju Meng, Guo Xie disciples, although the time is the world's reckless, but their private righteousness and honesty retreat, there are enough people. The name is not in vain, and the scholar is not in vain......" Liu Bei patted the scroll lightly, and then read one of the passages.

Of course, if people who don't know history don't know the meaning of this sentence at all, this is actually Taishi Gong's description of some cloth-clothed rangers in the early Han Dynasty.

In the early Han Dynasty, there were two main types of rangers, one was the old nobles of the traditional Six Kingdoms, and the other was Buyi, and the Quan family, Tian Zhong and others were the representatives of the Buyi rangers.

And Liu Bang's subordinates gathered the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and also gathered two types of rangers such as Buyi.

Liu Bei is not a scholar.

Even if he tried his best to wear the same clothes, practice the same etiquette, read the same books, and eat the same food, he was still not regarded as the same kind by the children of the scholar clan.

Can Liu Bei be considered a royal family?

This seems to be the answer that even Liu Bei doesn't want to think about and face.

Liu Bei is just a ranger.

Huaxia seems to have a good impression of the word chivalry since ancient times, and the hot-blooded man is a man who draws his sword and asks about injustice. Perhaps because of the relationship between Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, the level of ranger has become a very strange level in the Han Dynasty.

Because of the imperfection and imperfection of the legal system throughout the Han Dynasty, many things in the folk could not be dealt with and mediated relatively fairly, so the rangers were produced, and the rangers' attitude of drawing swords and singing, and being happy with enmity and hatred often became the idols of hot-blooded youth, so the rangers flourished.

When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were in Luoyang, they often befriended the rangers, drinking and singing with each other, and debauchery, which also showed the recognition of the children of the scholar clan for the rangers from one side.

However, the ranger is not a warrior after all, and the real children of the warrior clan do not attach importance to the ranger in their bones.

This point was gradually understood by Liu Bei after a long, long time.

But it was too late, and he was already given the name of a ranger on his head, and at first he thought that this was not necessarily a bad thing......

But with this title, Liu Bei used to think he was proud, but now he feels more and more restricted.

If Liu Bei wants to follow in Liu Bang's footsteps, then he can have the temperament and habits of a ranger, but he must not just be a ranger......

Below the Zhou Dynasty, the old aristocracy with the collapse of the entire social structure, the status of the original lower class gradually rose, especially after the Warring States period, basically the original leadership class of the old generation declined, and the status of the scholars who mastered the new right to speak gradually rose, so those who had mastered a certain amount of literature and martial arts knowledge before the pre-Qin began to re-seek their own positioning, so the good writer is a traveler, and a good warrior is a ranger.

And from the pre-Qin to the Han Dynasty, whether it is internal or external, disputes have never been broken, so the warrior ranger has a sufficient and necessary condition.

"Mutual and letter are responsible, and the same right and wrong are chivalrous." This is the evaluation of Liu Bang's ministers Ji Bu and Luan Bu, and it also laid the foundation for the Han Dynasty rangers, so it is also a question that Liu Bei wants to explain.

Guan Yu thought for a while, and somewhat understood what his brother Liu Bei meant.

Part of the reason why Liu Bang was able to win against Xiang Yu was that he not only won the support of two types of rangers, including the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms and the grassroots cloth clothes.

Xiao Caofan Chen Zhang, although their identities are different, but they all have a kind of chivalrous spirit in their behavior, this temperament is consistent with Liu Bang, and it is precisely because of this that many people were attracted and stayed, and finally achieved Liu Bang's great cause.

And now what Liu Bei lacks is people, no one comes to the plain at all, how can no one talk about development, just rely on his own three brothers, even if they work hard, how big can they hold up a scene?

In fact, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both have the temperament of a ranger, so they gathered together with Liu Bei, re-promising and ignoring life and death. Therefore, after Liu Bei obtained such a book of Taishi Gong, he realized this from it, and he couldn't wait to call Guan Yu, the only one who could understand him, to discuss it together.

"Brother's meaning...... But want to start with chivalry? Guan Yu said.

Liu Bei nodded slightly, "If you want to be famous in the world, you should be a ...... for the world" Liu Bang has successfully transformed from a pavilion chief, from a prodigal, from a ranger to a leader, a leader, and a spiritual representative, so today, he Liu Bei, can't he?
