The history of the Three Kingdoms has been nearly two thousand years, and many of the heroes Haojie can still leave a deep impression on us, of which "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has an indelible contribution.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms", also known as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", a work written by the novelist Luo Guanzhong in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, once published for a hundred years, has endured for a hundred years, and the well-known phrase "the general trend of the world, divided for a long time, and long will be divided" seems to spy on the laws and mysteries of the torrent of historical development.
The history of this story of the Three Kingdoms is only less than two hundred years, and it is fleeting in the long river of history, just as the so-called "the great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the characters of the ancient winds and currents" have created too many heroes who are familiar and enjoyable.
Hou Han Lübu, peerless in the world, god braver; the first treacherous male Cao Mengde, the son of heaven to order the princes, named the prime minister, is actually a thief, but also the cloud "only I bear the world's people, the world's people can not bear me";
Zhou Yugong Zhou Jin, Yushu Linfeng, was brilliant, but he plotted to kill Kong Ming three times, and was eventually killed by anger, leaving only "Born Yu, He Shengliang?" "Lamentations in the world.
The hero is like a carp across the river, today he wants to ask you for a hero, he plans not to lose Sima Yi, ZhiChao Wolong Wu suppresses Zhao Yun, why is his description sparse and ordinary in the Three Kingdoms, or even a rookie? Is it his bad luck or is it not liked by the author, or is there another reason?
To what extent did Cao Zhen's status in the State of Wei reach, and the folk would circulate the saying that "if Cao Zhen did not die, there would be no Sima ", and cao Zhen could bear such a name? At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three kingdoms were divided, and the last one ruled the world, and indeed Sima father and son laughed until they finally became big winners. Cao Zhen severely restricted Sima Yi's family's seizure of power, and only after his death did Sima Yi truly stand at the peak of power.
Cao Zhen's modesty is well-known, he never puts up the prince's shelf, will not despise the lives of poor people, such a "grounded" style of personality, may have a lot to do with his origin.
Cao Zhen was not Cao Cao's biological son, and his father was killed by local officials in response to Cao Cao's call to recruit troops from the people to prepare for war; the history books also record that his father was killed to save Cao Cao.
As a result, Cao Cao showed compassion for this orphan and adopted him as a righteous son and named him Cao Zhen.
Since the ancient hero was born a teenager, Cao Pi was less than ten years old and could ride horses and shoot arrows and fight with the army. Cao Zhen was also a brother who grew up together to study and be educated, probably like this.
As he grew older, his martial talents gradually appeared, it is said that Cao Zhen's strength is infinite, once went out hunting, a tiger chased after Cao Zhen, he turned back a sword, the bow sounded the tiger fell in response, was shot to the point, showing that his strength is strong.
Cao Cao put him in the most powerful general's army, the Tiger and Panther Riding Battalion. During The years of Cao Cao's lifetime, Cao Zhen participated in the Western Front several times, and his military achievements were outstanding, and he never tasted defeat.
After his good brother Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he was even more reused, because he was familiar with the war on the Western Front and became a general of Zhenxi. The following year, Cao Zhen defeated the Hu army, defended the safety of Hexi, and reopened the Silk Road in the western region!
The Book of Wei has clouds: beheading more than 50,000 people, receiving 100,000, sheep 1.11 million, and cattle 80,000.
Presumably, when the war report reached the capital Luoyang, Cao Pi laughed: I am strategizing, the Dragon Gate Tiger will win a decisive victory in the outside, the inside should be combined with the outside, the great victory and the capture of countless materials, God bless me Great Wei.
How could Cao Pi not be satisfied with such a harvest? Cao Zhen's deterrent power in the State of Wei was really above Sima Yi's, and Cao Zhen fell ill and died, and it was not long before Sima Yi began to gradually grasp power.
Speaking of the frightening Zhuge Wolong, who had waited for many years for the fighter plane, after Cao Pi's death, Zhuge Liang wanted to take advantage of the unstable situation in Wei's internal turmoil and launch an attack to unify the world.
However, during the First Northern Expedition, the Shu army led by Zhuge Liang was completely beaten by Cao Zhen. Zhuge Liang also wrote to the government for this reason, applying for demotion to an official position and receiving his own punishment.
Cao Zhen and Zhuge Liang clashed for the second time, and still had the upper hand. As a great general, Cao Zhen lived up to his trust, first sending Zhang Guo to break the Shu army, and then defeating Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi at Jigu. It also recovered the three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding. For a while, the confidence in the army soared, and the momentum was compelling.
Cao Zhen's second confrontation deduced that Zhuge Liang's next attack would attack Chen Cang, so he lined up his troops and increased the number of guards, and sure enough, Zhuge Liang's second Northern Expedition surrounded Chen Cang, and tens of thousands of Shu troops, under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, who used soldiers like gods, could not break through Chen Cang, which had only a thousand people, and Zhuge Liang returned without success.
Cao Zhen planned a counterattack, led the troops out, planned to attack Shu Han, but the heavens were not beautiful, the timing was not good, caught up with the continuous heavy rain, and the trails along the way were washed away a lot. None of them reached their destination, and only halfway through the whole journey, and were jointly opposed by the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee, ordering Cao Zhen to withdraw his troops.
Perhaps it was cao Zhen's carefully planned war that did not carry out as desired, he fell ill, and after returning to the State of Wei, he had a serious illness, which has not improved, and died the following year, and a generation of proud heroes came to an end.
Rolling water in the east of the Yangtze River, the waves exhaust the heroes, and the success or failure turns to the air.
After Cao Zhen's death, Zhuge Liang found an opportunity to make a comeback, and many wars have been hanging Sima Yi, so Sima Yi is also ridiculed as "fearing Shu is like fearing the tiger", similarly, without Cao Zhen's balance, Sima Yi also stepped onto the center of power and became a figure on the peak.
Sima Yi's Wentao Wuluo, this article will not be discussed much, but there is one point worth affirming. Sima Yi knows the way of health, as a winner in life, he wins in living for a long time, survived Zhuge Liang, consumed Cao Zhen, the enemy is out, can he not become the final victor?
You may see this, you will be a little confused, since Cao Zhen is such a rare hero, why in our impression is a nameless rookie?
This is mainly because the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a novel literary work created by Luo Guanzhong in the Ming Dynasty based on historical records, which is very different from the Zhengshi Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
There are many subjective evaluations of the authors in the creation of the novel, such as the role of the mink cicada, which is not real in history. The focus of Luo Guanzhong is mainly on the first half of the history of the Three Kingdoms, so the description of Cao Cao's sons and descendants of various countries in the later period has been weakened a lot, which has led to Cao Zhen giving people an unremarkable impression.
However, it is undeniable that it is precisely the detailed portrayal of the characters of the Three Kingdoms that makes the Romance of the Three Kingdoms a masterpiece in the literary world, and if the value of the thesis "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is true, it is higher than that of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
