Why are the warriors in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms have low IQ?

author:History because of culture

There are many video games that use ancient materials as the background, which seems to have the most Three Kingdoms themes, such as the Three Kingdoms series, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, the Three Kingdoms War Chronicles, etc., and these games have a great influence on young people.

But I don't know if you found it, these games have one thing in common, all the clan generals involved in the Three Kingdoms, there is a major feature: either the image is stupid and cute, or the intelligence value is set to be particularly low. With this kind of setup, in fact, you can't blame those who make games, because the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has laid this situation. Busy teeth long, three knots of gold rings, and vulture bones are almost brainless representatives, including the commentaries are often designed in this way. So is this true history? So to say that the IQ of such characters is not online, let's talk about it slowly.

The biggest soldier in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is probably the Southern Barbarian King Meng Yue, from the book you can see that these people have many characteristics, the first is a lower level of intelligence, the second is a higher level of force, the third is internal discord. Meng Yu was the leader of the Nanzhong region, which is now the southern part of Sichuan and the area around Yunnan and Guizhou. There are three Meng Yue brothers, the eldest is called Meng Jie, the second is Meng Yue, and the third is called Meng You. Meng Jie, as the eldest brother, disagreed with his younger brother's political views, so he went out into seclusion, and later helped Zhuge Liang, the Shu Han chancellor who came to fight. Meng Yu rebelled with Meng You, and as a result, this road was a loss of soldiers, and the old nest was also taken, and finally Zhuge Liang was captured seven times and seven columns, and vowed never to rebel. Zhuge Liang also showed a victorious posture, still appointing Meng Yu as the King of the South and ruling the Southern Central Region.

So is the historical Meng Yu really like this? In fact, whether there is a person in history or not is controversial in the field of history. There are probably two reasons for saying that it does not exist, the first is that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not recorded, and the second is that the story surrounding him is illogical. The master's table said that Zhuge Liang crossed the lu in May and went deep into the barren, and in the autumn of that year, the Northern Expedition, from Chengdu all the way to the border, had to fight back, and the time was a bit unspeakable. There are also two reasons for his existence, one is that the "Han Jin Spring and Autumn" and "Huayang Guozhi" all record that there is such a person. Second, the recorded incident about Meng Yu is wrong, but it does not mean that there is no such person. The credibility of "Han Jin Chunqiu" and "Huayang Guozhi" is relatively high, plus the May crossing is not necessarily May of that year, so it is more inclined to have Meng Yue as a person.

According to the Han Jin Spring and Autumn Records, after Liu Bei's death, some officials of the old forces in southern Sichuan took the opportunity to rebel, and Meng Yu brought his own people to help these people, and then Zhuge Liang led troops to suppress them. And Meng Yue himself had a high prestige in the local area, so Zhuge Liang wanted to draw him over, grabbed him seven times, and released him seven times. Later, after surrendering, Zhuge Liang brought him back to The Imperial Court and was divided into Yushi Zhongcheng (御史中丞). From this point of view, being able to be appointed as a civilian official shows that this person is learned and his intelligence is not so low.

There is another team in the Three Kingdoms called Xiqiang, and there are many representative figures in it, such as the Qiang King Cheriji, the Minister Of Qi, Yadan, as well as the Great King of Myodang and Kebineng. Among this large number of people, the real historical record is that there is a person who is Kebineng, and it is also written wrong. Let's first talk about how he appeared in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is very embarrassing... Didn't make an appearance... His time was a very famous back-to-back scene in the novel, called "Zhuge Liang Anjuping Five Roads".

After Liu Bei's death, Cao Wei gathered five people and horses to attack the Shu Han regime together, one of which was Kebineng, Zhuge Liang sent Ma Chao to march, Ma Chao was extremely famous in the west, and was known as the Shenwei Heavenly General, and Kebi was able to see that the opponent was the Heavenly General Ma Chao, and ran without saying a word. However, all this was still said in the narration of the story, and did not say how to appear, how to march, how to retreat, in other words, he did not even show a formal face. But the history of the canon is exactly the opposite. Kebineng is not a Xiqiang person, he is a pioneer, and his main range of activity is not next to the Shu Han, he is in the Mongolian steppe. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms records that he fought bravely, enforced the law fairly, and was not greedy for money, so he was elected as an adult by the humble people. In addition, this person has a strong learning ability, because his tribe is close to The Plug, so he seized the favorable conditions to actively learn the advanced technology and culture of the Han nationality, which promoted the progress of the Xianbei ethnic group and the integration of the ethnic groups in the north. In general, Ruby can understand the military, know politics, and engage in diplomacy, so he is not a low-intelligence figure.

Of course, in the interpretation and game, there are many people who have also been set up as representatives of low IQ, such as Sha Moke, Liu Chan, etc., as for why the author wrote this, I am afraid that only he is clear.
