"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is one of the four classic masterpieces in China, which not only has a great influence on the Chinese people, but also has a deep influence on Japan and South Korea. Just like Guan Yu's spirit of loyalty and righteousness, not only is revered by our people, but also by other countries.
However, this is a novel after all, and it cannot be regarded as a canonical history. But as far as the novel is concerned, its value is also extremely high, and the portrayal of the characters by the author Luo Guanzhong is also a major highlight, so many people love this book.
In the novel, there are many good strategists, although they do not personally go to the battlefield, but they can plan the direction of the war, whether they lose or win are in the control of these good strategists. When it comes to those wise people, everyone can blurt out, such as Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others.
But when it comes to the stupidity in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", what characters do you think are on the list?

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, strategy is an eternal topic, and those wise men are often the object of praise. Just like Cao Cao, although he was fierce and fierce, he was also very strategic, and posterity had many criticisms of him, but there were more people who praised his wisdom.
In addition, Liu Bei has always been known for his "benevolence and righteousness", and he has won the world with his benevolent heart. But is the role of "benevolence" really so great?
Of course not, everything Liu Bei finally got was also obtained by his wisdom. If there was no "three Gu Maolu" strategy, would Zhuge Liang have come out of the mountains to help? It can be seen that those who become great talents will not work without strategy.
But today we are not talking about the wisdom of these great talents, but for the more stupid people to rank the position. Which one do you think is the stupidest in Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

Let's first look at the first fool who appears in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, that is, the great general He Jin, who plunged the Great Han into chaos.
Although this man was a great general, he had no name but no talent. Originally, he was just a butcher, living by killing pigs. The reason why he was qualified as a great general was not to make any merit for the Great Han, but only to be stained with the light of being the empress's sister, which was in an important position.
After serving as a general, he fought against the eunuch forces in the dprk, and the contradictions were very sharp, even to the point of intolerable water and fire. To this end, He Jin also summoned various princes to the capital, hoping to completely eliminate the eunuch forces.
Unexpectedly, this plan was detected by the eunuchs, and they were the first to act strongly, designing to trick He Jin into the palace and be killed to death.
Although this fool was killed, the stupid things he did were not over, and Dong Zhuo also led the Western Liang Army to come after receiving his invitation. Since then, the Big Han has entered a situation of black smoke and miasma.

This second fool was none other than Dong Zhuo, who had entered Beijing.
Dong Zhuo was a cruel man, and after taking the power of the government into his own hands, he also did a series of stupid things. The worst thing is to depose the emperor and establish a new emperor in spite of the opposition of the courtiers. Dong Zhuo was a ruthless thief in the hearts of the Qunchen, and he wanted to unite to secretly get rid of him, but the plan failed.
Under his atrocities, the princes of all walks of life could not see it anymore, and they all rose up to fight and formed a coalition army. In the face of the crowd, Dong Zhuo panicked and had to flee to the west. Subsequently, Situ Wang Yun and others united and used a divisive tactic to finally get rid of Dong Zhuo.
It can be seen that Dong Zhuo is really a fool. If we have a better grasp of the government and are good at winning people's hearts and minds, we may be able to stabilize the situation, let alone be attacked by the coalition forces. It can only be said that his tragic death was inseparable from his stupidity.

The third fool was Dong Zhuo's righteous son, Lü Bu.
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lü Bu is a famous god of war, and the strength of his martial arts is admired by the world. However, Lü Bu is a typical "martial artist", with a skill but no intelligent brain.
As we all know, Lü Bu was known as the "family slave with three surnames", and once recognized Ding as his righteous father, but killed him for profit. Later, he turned to Dong Zhuo and recognized him as his righteous father. Unexpectedly, he later broke with Dong Zhuo for the sake of the mink cicada, and also killed him.
In this way, Lü Bu's capricious personality was spread. The notoriety was passed down through the ages, and no one dared to take it in, so they had to stand on their own. However, because of his arrogance, he ignored Chen Gong's advice and eventually died in defeat.
It is reasonable to say that he has a skill, and the strength of his martial arts is that he is not worried about meeting the Lord in the chaotic world. However, his thinking was too short-sighted, and his greed was too heavy, and even Cao Cao, who recruited talents, did not tolerate him.

The fourth fool is Yuan Shu.
This person was born with favorable conditions, and with the status of the fourth and third dukes, the future was bright. Unexpectedly, he was too stupid to bury his future with his own hands. Yuan Shu said that the emperor's heart was too anxious and did not recognize the situation in front of him. After taking several cities in Huai and Yang, he was directly proclaimed emperor.
Such an act was extremely stupid, but Yuan Shu did not know it. At that time, although the Han Dynasty was in decline, the Tianzi of the Han Dynasty was still the nominal ruler of the dynasty. Once there are princes on their own, then the other princes will rise up and attack them.
Yuan Shu failed to understand this truth, and he could only regret it. If Yuan Shu could calm down and take good care of the city he had mastered, he might be able to hold on for a longer time.

Let's talk about the fallen kings of Shu Han and Eastern Wu. Let's first look at Liu Chan, the lord of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Many people said that he did not get a little true transmission of Liu Bei, which was inferior to his father, and it was not at all unusual for Shu Han to die in his hands. To be honest, Liu Chan was not very capable, and he also favored eunuchs, while honest and loyal subjects chose to be estranged and only knew how to have fun all day long.
How can such a monarch make the country strong? Later, The cao wei camp general Deng Ai led an army to attack the city, but Liu Chan did not even resist and directly chose to abandon the city and surrender. If Liu Beiquan knew it, it would certainly be difficult to see.
If Liu Chan had been more diligent in his administration, listened more to Zhuge Liang's advice, and cracked down on the eunuch forces, Shu Han might not have perished so quickly.

Finally, let's look at Sun Hao, the king of the Fallen Kingdom of Eastern Wu.
This man was cruel in temperament and ignored the advice of loyal and good generals. Under such a momentum, Eastern Wu is also a river decline, and the glory of the past has slowly disappeared into history. In order to gain power, the traitorous minister Cen Di used various means to confuse Sun Hao, and most of the loyal ministers were excluded and suppressed.
In the eyes of the ministers, Cen Di was a complete traitor, eager to slash Cen Di with a thousand knives. But in the eyes of Sun Hao, the last emperor of Eastern Wu, he was a trustworthy person and a powerful assistant.
Even though Sun Hao did not have the ability to know people, he should also wake up under the advice of many ministers, but Sun Hao could not wake up. It can only be said that Sun Hao was also a stupid monarch.
