Chapter 35 Chapter Thirty-Five

Speaking of Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, people would think of "Uncle Liu's country-crying", "Liu Bei threw the child-buying people's hearts", so, in everyone's impression, Liu Bei became a genius Crying nose, wiping tears, will only pull the relationship between the almost useless, all this should be "attributed" to the description of Liu Bei crying nose, wiping tears. Here we might as well sort out the history of Uncle Liu Huang's tears. The first time Liu Bei shed tears was when he and Zhao Yun first met and broke up. The two "fell in love at first sight".

Liu Bei's second tear was still for Zhao Yun. It was after the siege of Xuzhou. The third time I shed tears was in "Brother Caiyang to clear up his doubts, and meet the ancient city lords to gather righteousness". The place was in Guan Ding (Guan Ping's father) Zhuang. Holding hands and crying endlessly", Liu Bei must have shed tears, otherwise Guan Yu would hang the seal and seal the gold, and "pass five passes and kill six generals" would be too worthless. Liu Bei really experienced a crying addiction when he learned that Xu's mother was imprisoned and Xu Shu was about to leave. He first "cryed loudly after hearing the words", and then "wept opposite Xu Shu, sitting and waiting", until Xu Shu really When he was about to leave, Liu Bei "teared like rain, looking at the tears", so that he expressed such emotion-"I want to cut down all the trees here, because it prevents me from forgetting Xu Yuanzhi (Xu Shu's character Yuanzhi)."

Crying again was related to the famous Zhuge Liang, who was more powerful than Xu Shu. At that time, Zhuge Liang "still held the pipa half-hidden" and pretended not to come out of the mountain to test Liu Bei's heart. Liu Bei was disappointed and tears stained his sleeves and skirts Get wet. The next time Uncle Liu cried was for the people in Xinye and Fancheng who followed him across the south of the Yangtze River. After that, Zhao Zilong rode alone on the savior (the young master A Dou) and returned in a bloody battle, and Liu Bei cried. Wu Guo Taifo Temple is watching the groom, Sun Quan is hiding the killer, and Liu Bei is crying.

The son Liu Qi died young, and Liu Bei cried. Lu Su crossed the river to beg Jingzhou three times, and Liu Bei cried. Jingzhou City entertained Zhang Song, and Liu Bei cried. Pang Tong died in Luofengpo, and Liu Bei cried. Liu Bei's most distinctive cry occurred when he occupied the magpie's nest and captured Liu Zhang's Yizhou. Liu Zhang went out of the city to surrender, and Liu Bei came out of the village to greet him. " After that, Guan Yu was defeated and killed, Zhang Fei was unfortunately killed, Liu Xianzhu himself was burned by Lu Xun for eight hundred miles, and he was left alone in Baidi City when he died. The great sorrow of rain and tears gushing like a fountain.

Some of the above tears are logical and natural, while others are a bit redundant. It seems that Liu Bei is too fragile or even weak and cowardly, so that he leaves a wimpy impression on people. In fact, Liu Bei is not as useless as it is written in the book. Regarding this character, Mr. Luo Guanzhong has fooled everyone to a large extent. Liu Bei's imperial career is not mainly based on the wisdom and ability of others as written in the book.Luo Guanzhong assigned at least four of Liu Bei's glorious deeds to other people. In the most popular words now, Liu Bei was "be crowned and worn".

Anyone who likes it knows the story of Zhang Fei whipping Duyou. In fact, the protagonist of this story in history is Liu Bei, not Zhang Fei. According to the "Three Kingdoms: The First Master's Biography": Liu Bei made great achievements in begging for the Yellow Turban, and the official worshiped Anxi County Captain.Duyou went to the county on business, Liu Bei went to pay a visit, but the door did not give any notice, Liu Bei broke in, tied up Duyou, beat him two hundred times with sticks, took off the seal ribbon, hung it around Duyou's neck, and tied him up. On the horse stake, he abandoned his official position and fled.Judging from this piece of information, Liu Bei has the courage not to bow down for five buckets of rice. It is not known whether Tao Yuanming will be influenced by him two hundred years later.

The twenty-first chapter is the well-known "Cao Cao cooks wine and talks about heroes, Guan Yu earns money and kills chariots", and Guan Yunchang, a martial sage respected by later generations, is here again. Unfortunately, this is not a historical fact, but a fiction of Luo Guanzhong's imitation . The death of Che Zhou is recorded in "Three Kingdoms" as follows: (Cao Cao) set up General Che Qi and Governor of Xuzhou.Taizu destroyed Lv Bu, and he later served as the general of chariots and the governor of Xuzhou.In the fifth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei, the general of the left, killed Zhou and took Pei to carry Taizu.

In the novel, beheading Caiyang is one of Guan Yu's heroic deeds. Even Qiao Guolao in the Peking Opera "Dragon and Phoenix Showing Prosperity" once sang when praising Guan Yu: He (referring to Liu Bei) has a second brother, Hanshou Tinghou, Qinglong Yanyue ghosts and gods beheaded Yan Liang in Baimapo, Yanjin punished Wen Chou, and beheaded old Caiyang in the ancient city.However, in real history, Cai Yang died at the hands of Liu Bei. The relevant records in "Three Kingdoms Biography of the First Master" are as follows: (Yuan) Shao sent the former master to return his soldiers to Runan, and joined forces with the thief Gong Du and others, with thousands of people.Duke Cao sent Cai Yang to attack him, but he was killed by the Former Lord.

As the saying goes, "three fires for new officials" come from Zhuge Liang's three fire attacks - burning Bowangpo, burning Xinye, and burning Chibi. There are very wonderful descriptions of these three fires in the book.It is surprising and regrettable that the historical burning of Bowangpo was Liu Bei's masterpiece and had nothing to do with Zhuge Liang. In addition, it should be explained that Liu Bei did not set fire to the enemy's army, but burned his own camp and pretended to be defeated to lure Cao's soldiers in. Ambush circle.If you don't believe me, please read the records in "Three Kingdoms: The First Master": "(Liu Biao) envoys rejecting Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin are equal to Bowang. For a long time, the First Lord set up an ambush. Once the puppet escape was burned, Dun and others chased him, and they were broken by the ambush. .”

"Three Kingdoms · Li Dian Biography" also has a record about this matter: "Liu Biao sent Liu Bei to invade the north, and when he reached Ye, Taizu (Cao Cao) sent (Dian) from Xiahou Dun to reject him. Once Bei burned the village, he led the army to pursue it. Dian said "If the thief retreats without reason, there must be an ambush. The south road is narrow and the vegetation is deep, so you can't chase it." If you don't listen, follow the ban to chase him, and Dian stays behind. Seeing the arrival of salvation, we will retreat." It can be seen from this that Liu Bei is not just a wimpy emperor who is known for his loyalty, benevolence and righteousness, waiting to reap the benefits, as described, but a politician and military strategist who has courage and strategy, and takes action when it is time to do so.
