At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in a village in Nanyang. A small doll was newly born in a family surnamed Liu.

The surname Liu, what a noble surname, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is surnamed Liu. And by this time it had declined to the extreme.

The family surnamed Liu in Nanyang is poor and poor, but the owner of the family still has a sense of pride, insisting that he is a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. It seems that this can bring a little warmth to your life.

The man surnamed Liu was holding his newborn child, it was a male baby, he thought for a while, and accidentally saw the three knives left by his ancestors hanging on the wall, and immediately thought of a name in his heart, and the man surnamed Liu blurted out: "Liu Sandao! My son is called Liu Sandao!"

At that time, people's lifespan was as short as a candle flame, and when Liu Sandao was two years old, his father and mother died one after another. He was adopted by a lonely old man in the same village.

Liu Sandao grew to the age of six, and the lonely old man handed over his father's relics, the three long knives handed down by his ancestors. The old man said: "You are a member of the Han family, remember, you are a member of the Han family!"

Sandao took the three long knives, drew his knives for the first time, dug a large pit in the soil, buried the old man, and left the village where he lived. Before leaving, he looked back at his hometown, and he remembered what the old man often said, Han Gaozu, who said, "Weijiahai returns to his hometown." He frowned, turned his head with a determined look in his eyes, and walked into the distance.

On the way. He met a gang of robbers, and the robbers did not have a fierce look or a fierce light in their eyes. The robbers were as thin as bamboo poles, unkempt, Liu Sandao knew that they were all outcasts, he did not hesitate, drew the knife for the second time, and the result was this group of robbers.

He looked at the fallen corpses on the ground, and the blood spread from beneath the corpses, staining the ground red. Liu Sandao buried all their corpses, looked at the filled soil, and said solemnly: "I am a member of the Han family, I will help the Han family!" and continued to walk forward.

When Liu Sandao was ten years old, he met a ruthless man who used a knife, and before he could draw the knife, he was knocked to the ground, and the cruel man's knife hung on his neck, and the ruthless man said: "You are much stronger than ordinary people, but you are only a relatively strong ordinary person." ”

Liu Sandao felt humiliated, his eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "Shi can be killed, but it cannot be humiliated!" After speaking, he was about to hit the knife on his neck, wanting to splash his blood on the ruthless person.

The ruthless man withdrew his sharp knife and didn't let Liu Sandao commit suicide successfully, he spat at Liu Sandao, and said in a harsh tone: "You miscellaneous fish don't deserve to die on my knife!" and then stepped on Liu Sandao's head and walked over.

Liu Sandao lay on the ground for a long time, he was motionless, the saliva on his face was dry, but the footprints were still conspicuous, as if he had been carved on his face with a knife.

A carriage drove by, and the coachman saw a man lying on the ground, and thought something was wrong, so he stopped the carriage. The coachman asked Liu Sandao, "What is my brother doing lying on the ground?" Liu Sandao ignored it and looked at the white sky with his eyes open.

The coachman of the carriage is a simple person, not bad-hearted, seeing that Liu Sandao did not answer, he got off the carriage by himself, he stretched out his hand to help Liu Sandao, and his outstretched hand was just about to touch Sandao's body was opened by Sandao.

"So you can move!" The carriage driver was stunned, he looked at the shoe prints on Liu Sandao's face, remembered something, and smiled stupidly at Sandao: "Isn't it stepped on? I was arrested to serve in forced labor, and I built a palace, and I was covered with whip wounds. Later, when I went to ask for food, I was trampled on the bowl that I was asking for. It's not a big deal to take a few kicks from someone. ”

Liu Sandao was still staring at the sky vacantly, as if a wooden man couldn't hear what the coachman was saying.

The coachman finally gave up, he felt that Liu Sandao was an eccentric person, returned to the carriage sullenly, and then drove the carriage away at a fast speed.

Liu Sandao turned his face, looked at the galloping carriage, smiled miserably, and was about to continue looking at the sky, but saw a small thing moving.

A praying mantis struggled to get up from the rut of the carriage that had just passed. The lower half of the praying mantis's body was flattened, and all the internal organs in its stomach were squeezed out and crushed. But the upper body is still drawn on the ground with scythe-like forelimbs, trying to support the body.

Liu Sandao remembered a very old fable, called the mantis arm as a car, and he felt that the mantis was stupid and incompetent at all times. Now he felt very sad, maybe the mantis didn't try to shake the car hard, but just walked forward, but the car rolled towards it. It was powerless to resist, it was crushed and separated, and when it died, it was ridiculed.

Sandao got up from the ground, he wiped the shoe prints from his face, walked over, picked the mantis from the ground, and put it in the grass. He didn't know how long the praying mantis would live, but he understood that it was brave to live.

Liu Sandao is twenty years old. In ancient times, it was called a weak crown, which meant adulthood. Liu Sandao did not have a family, so he did not hold a crown ceremony, he took refuge in a heroic Wang Kuang and recognized Wang Kuang as the lord.

Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor Liu Wei and established Liu Xie as the emperor, which was to dedicate the emperor. The princes of all walks of life rose up against Zhuo, and the princes of the eighteen towns would be in the Tiger Prison Pass, setting up Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance and Sun Jian as the vanguard, crusading against Dong Zhuo.

Wang Kuang was also one of the princes of the town, and Liu Sandao went with him. Liu Sandao did not mention that he was King Jing of Zhongshan again, he stood behind Wang Kuang, looking at the crowd of Wuyang, which was full of heroes from all walks of life, he felt that there was hope for the revival of the Han family, and he did not need his broken identity.

The princes of the eighteen towns discussed the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and while the discussion was fierce, a man with two ears and shoulders and a seemingly benevolent heart broke in. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he was the king of Zhongshan, named Liu Bei, and brought his two sworn brothers.

Everyone made fun of Liu Bei, but Liu Sandao had a feeling of sympathy. When he said this, he was not subjected to so much ridicule.

Not long after, the soldiers came to report that someone outside the Tiger Prison was scolding, it was Hua Xiong under Dong Zhuo's account. Liu Sandao's friend Pan Feng went to battle, and he was beheaded as soon as he joined it, and Sandao felt extremely sad. Liu Bei's brother Guan Yu slashed Huaxiong with warm wine, raising his eyebrows and exhaling.

After Hua Xiong's death, Dong Zhuo sent the man who made the ghosts and gods fear. The prestige of "Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses" is terrifying. Yuan Shao asked who dared to fight, and Wang Kuang recommended three knives.

"I have Admiral Liu Sandao to kill Lu Bu!" the voice of the lord Kuang Baoju echoed in Liu Sandao's ears. Three knives rode out of the city on horseback and carried three long knives on their backs.

Liu Sandao looked at the tall general with the horns and capes on the opposite side, pulled out the knife for the third time, and rushed over. The moment Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's painting halberd, Sandao remembered his dream of "Kuang Fu Han Room, Weijia Hai returned to his hometown".

Fang Tian's halberd fell, blood gushed out, and he fell off the horse with three knives, he knew that he would be a guy who would be ridiculed in the future, just like the praying mantis that day, but he thought that he was also brave. Bravely live, bravely die.
