Everyone in the Three Kingdoms knows that Liu Bei is a person who loves to make friends, so why does Liu Bei only have two sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? Today I will share with you some of my own opinions, hoping to help those in need.
Origin issues: Friends who have watched the Three Kingdoms all know that Liu Bei's family was very poor when he was young. He depended on his old mother and made a living by selling straw mats. At this time, Liu Bei's first brother was Zhang Fei. We all know that Zhang Fei sells meat, and meat was probably relatively expensive in that era. It seems that Zhang Fei was relatively rich selling meat. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei became sworn friends at that time, firstly because of Zhang Fei's character, and secondly because of Zhang Fei's money. Sure enough, Zhang Fei later gave all his money to Liu Bei for recruiting troops. Guan Yu was a wanted criminal, and Liu Bei fell in love with Guan Yu's martial arts and sense of responsibility, and he really thought Guan Yu was good, so the three of them formed the Taoyuan Three.
Problems of the development of the times: We all know that Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei became sworn brothers at the beginning of Liu Bei's career. It was also a very embarrassing period in the early days of Liu Bei's career. Although Liu Bei was the orthodox royal family, due to His poverty directly caused many children from wealthy families to look down on Liu Bei, which meant that Liu Bei could not enter the upper class society at that time. This also laid the original foundation for Liu Bei's sworn sworn relationship with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. As Liu Bei's strength developed, he also met Dong Zhuo, Yuan Chao, Cao Cao and other high-ranking disciples. Dong Zhuo and Yuan Chao still admired Liu Bei for these people, but due to the differences in age and status, they could only be ordinary friends, while Cao Cao despised Liu Bei. Later, as Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage and invited Zhuge Liang to join him, Liu Bei's strength grew day by day. After Liu Bei had his own territory, the most people he came into contact with were his subordinates. During this period, he had no chance to interact with others. Stuttering brother.
