Today's Three Kingdoms idiom story is found in the 83rd edition of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which took place during the Battle of Yiling, and the relevant characters were Guan Xing, Pan Zhang, and Ma Zhong. The original text is as follows:
After three more, another person outside the door suddenly hit the household. The old man came out and asked, but Wu sent Pan Zhang to stay. Just entering the grass hall, Guan Xing saw it, pressed the sword and shouted: "The thief is gone!" Zhang turned around and came out. Suddenly, there was a person outside the door, with a face like a heavy date, Dan phoenix eyes, crouching silkworm eyebrows, three strands of beautiful hair, green robes and golden armor, and entered according to the sword. Zhang, who saw that Guan Gong was a saint, shouted, and his spirit was scattered; when he wanted to turn around, he was already taken by Guan Xing with his sword, cut to the ground, and took the blood from his heart, and sacrificed in front of the statue of Guan Gong. Xing won his father's Green Dragon Blade, but he took Pan Zhang's first rank under the horse, resigned from the old man, and rode Pan Zhang's horse, looking forward to the base camp. The old man dragged Pan Zhang's body out and burned it.
Moreover, guan Xingxing traveled countless miles, overheard people talking and horses, and a Biao army came; the first general was Pan Zhang's general Ma Zhongye. Zhongmi Xing killed the main general Pan Zhang, and put the first rank under the horse, and the Green Dragon Sword was revived, and he was furious and sent the horse to take Guan Xing. Seeing that Ma Zhong was harming his father's enemy, he was angry and angry, and raised the green dragon sword to look at Zhongzhong and cut it. Three hundred troops under Zhong's army stepped forward and shouted, encircling Guan Xing in the heart. Xingli is alone. Suddenly, the Biao army in the northwest killed, but it was Zhang Bao. Ma Zhong, seeing the arrival of the rescuers, hurriedly led the army to retreat.
According to the plot of the novel, Guan Xing engaged in a fierce battle with the Eastern Wu army at The Pavilion, and suddenly saw that the enemy general Pan Zhang was also in the enemy position, so he pursued all the way, but soon lost his way and had to stay in the home of a family in the mountains. Who knew that Pan Zhang also came to the place because he was lost, and after a fight, Guan Xing finally killed Pan Zhang and regained his father Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Moon Sword. Soon after, Guan Xing encountered ma Zhong, the enemy who killed his father, and was surrounded by Ma Zhong's subordinates. Fortunately, Zhang Bao arrived in time, Ma Zhong retreated, and Guan Xing turned the crisis into safety.
The idiom that this article is going to introduce is that Ma Zhong's expression after seeing Guan Xing is called "raging", which means very angry. The earliest source of this idiom is the Han Dynasty Bangu's "Book of Han • Gu Yong Biography" in the "Late Emperor Tian's anger." ”
Among the nearly one hundred large and small wars described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Yiling are the author's most inked. Compared with the historical records, it can be found that the author basically restored the original historical appearance in the description of the Battle of Guandu, and there are fewer fictitious components. In the Battle of Chibi, the fictional elements were greatly increased, such as "grass boat borrowing arrows", "Jiang Gan stealing books", "bitter meat", "serial counting", and "borrowing the East Wind" are not historical truths. But even so, the fictional part of the Battle of Chibi is far less than the Battle of Yiling. It can be said that except for the end of the Battle of Yiling, the process is mostly fictionalized by the author, such as the above-mentioned story of Guan Xing's murder of Pan Zhang.
The character of Guan Xing is real in history. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Guan Yu reads: "Zi Xingsi. Xingzi Anguo, rarely asked, Xiang Zhuge Liang deeply different. The weak crown is a servant and a lieutenant, and a few years old. From this record, it can be seen that Guan Xing was neither a military general nor participated in the Battle of Yiling, let alone beheading Pan Zhang. As for the section mentioned in the novel about Pan Zhang's murder, it is even more fictitious. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Pan Zhang reads: "(Pan Zhang) Jiahe died three years ago. "The third year of Eastern Wu Jiahe is 234 AD. Anyone who knows a little about the history of the Three Kingdoms knows that Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan in this year. The Battle of Yiling occurred in 222 AD, which means that after the Battle of Yiling, Pan Zhang lived for twelve years in good manners, and how could he die at the hands of Guan Xing?
Finally, let's talk about Ma Zhong. This person is also real in history. According to the description of the novel, he not only captured Guan Yu alive, but later shot and wounded Huang Zhong in the Battle of Yiling, resulting in Huang Zhong's death. Eventually, he was killed by Lu Fang and Fu Shiren. In real history, Ma Zhong did participate in the Battle of Jingzhou. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Wu Says: "In December, Sima Mazhong of Zhang, together with his son Ping and the governor Zhao Lei, equal to Zhangxiang, settled Jingzhou. ”
However, the ma zhong mentioned in the novel who shot Huang Zhong is fictional, because Huang Zhong did not participate in the Battle of Yiling at all. In addition, Ma Zhong's killing by Lu Fang and Fu Shiren is not a historical truth, because the historical Lu Fang did not return to Liu Bei's side and was executed. According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, in 223 AD, after the Battle of Yiling, Sun Quan also ordered Lu fang and He Qi to attack Puchun together.
Judging from the introduction of historical materials, in the Battle of Yiling, there is almost no record of the death of the General of Eastern Wu in the battle, and the Shu Han side suffered heavy casualties, with more than a dozen senior generals killed and tens of thousands of soldiers casualties, which can be described as a complete defeat. If the Battle of Yiling is described according to the truth of history, it will not be able to achieve the author's purpose. Therefore, the author not only fictionalized the fight between two Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, who had never appeared on the battlefield, but also let Pan Zhang, Lu Fang and others who had originally died tragically in the course of the battle.
