As we all know, Zhang Fei is a very important role in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and people who have seen the Three Kingdoms know Zhang Fei, and many people like the image of Zhang Fei. So, what kind of person is the fierce general Zhang Fei? How should we evaluate him? The author has made the following analysis.
First of all, the author believes that Zhang Fei is a brave man.
In the twelfth year of Jian'an (208 AD), Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou from the south, Liu Biao fell ill and died, and Liu Chun of Jingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao. At that time, Liu Bei fled south with 100,000 people from Xiang and Fan, weighing tens of millions of people, traveling more than ten miles a day, and was finally pursued by Cao Jun at Changbanpo in Dangyang. After Liu Beicang fled and let Zhang Fei break, Zhang Fei led more than twenty cavalry to Changsaka Bridge and found a forest on the east side, so he ordered the cavalry to cut down the branches, tie them to the horse's tail, and gallop back and forth in the woods, raising dust, and Gu Zuo's brigade ran wildly. But he stood alone, on a horse, and with a spear, standing at the head of the bridge, glaring at the spear and shouting, "As Zhang Yide, can you come to die together?" Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops were stunned and did not dare to take a step forward.
After that, Zhang Fei opened his eyes and rebuked, frightening Cao To xiahou Jie to fall off his horse on the spot and die, and Cao Cao retreated in a hurry. From this story of the Three Kingdoms, we can see that Zhang Fei is quite brave, and with his own roar, he even scared off Tens of thousands of cao Cao's army.
Secondly, the author believes that Zhang Fei is a grumpy person.
People who have seen the Three Kingdoms know that Zhang Fei's temper is quite bad, and he is very harsh on the soldiers. Liu Bei also often advised Zhang Fei: "Qing's punishment and killing are not only too bad, but also whipping Jian'er day by day, and Ling is left and right, and this way of taking trouble is also." But Zhang Fei just wouldn't listen.
One day, Zhang Fei ordered the army to make a White Flag Army within three days and hang filial piety to Wu. Fan Jiang and Zhang Da told Zhang Fei: "The white flag and white armor are unprepared for a while, and they must be lenient before they can." Zhang Fei was furious and drank, "I am anxious to take revenge, I would like to go to the realm of rebellion tomorrow, how dare you disobey my orders as a general!" So the soldiers tied them to a tree and whipped each of them fifty times on their backs. After the fight, he also pointed at the two and said, "Tomorrow must be all complete!" If you violate the deadline, kill the two of you to show the public! ”
The two were beaten and the two were bleeding profusely, so the two were angry and returned to the camp to discuss how to kill Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei was very drunk this night and lay in the tent. Fan Jiang and Zhang Da found out the news, and in the middle of the night, they sneaked into Zhang Fei's tent and killed Zhang Fei. That night, the two took Zhang Fei's first rank and fled to Eastern Wu to join Sun Quan. Zhang Fei paid a terrible price for his violent temper: he was killed by his subordinates and his head was in a different place.
Then, the author thinks that Zhang Fei is still a reckless person.
From the beginning of the Taoyuan Uprising to the early days of the three-man crusade against the Yellow Turban Party, Liu Bei attached great importance to Zhang Fei. When Liu Bei rescued Dong Zhuo, he was insulted by Dong Zhuo. Zhang Fei wanted to commit suicide but could not help it, shouting that he wanted to "throw himself away." Liu Bei originally wanted to listen to Guan Yunchang's words and temporarily return to his hometown of Zhuo County, but after listening to Zhang Fei's words, he said in a deliberative tone: "The three of us are living and dying together, how can we be separated?" If only they were to go elsewhere. ”
In this way, Zhang Fei's hatred was slightly relieved, so the three of them led the army to throw themselves elsewhere overnight. When Liu Bei received the Anxi County Order, he was insulted by the post inspector because he had no money to bribe, and Zhang Fei angrily whipped the post inspector, so that the three had to find "Yi Ping" again. From these two things, we can see that Zhang Fei is very reckless, and his recklessness has also caused Liu Bei and Guan Yu to commit bad crimes together.
Finally, the author believes that Zhang Fei is also a person who cherishes love and righteousness.
Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, and Guan Yu must have been well known for their three taoyuan and three knots. This matter is also vigorously exaggerated by Luo Guanzhong, and the relevant description in the interpretation is as follows:
In the peach orchard, the black cow and white horse sacrifice and other items were prepared, and the three of them burned incense and prayed again and said the oath: "Remember Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, although they have different surnames, they are married as brothers, they will work together to save the poor and help the crisis; report to the state, and go down to Lishu." I do not want to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but only on the same day of the same month of the same year. Emperor Tianhou Earth, true to this heart, ungrateful, heaven and man fighting together! "Take the oath, worship Liu Bei as a brother, Guan Yu second, and Zhang Fei as a brother."
After the three of them became righteous, they were like brothers and had a very good relationship. After Lü Meng killed Guan Yu, both Liu Bei and Zhang Fei expressed their desire to avenge Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei also lost his life because of this incident. As mentioned above, at that time, in order to rush to avenge Guan Yu, Zhang Fei ordered Fan Jiang and Zhang Da to set up the White Flag Army within three days, but the two thought that the time was too urgent to complete, so they were reprimanded by Zhang Fei and punished fiercely by Zhang Fei, and finally the two could not stand it, so they conspired to kill Zhang Fei. From Zhang Fei's eagerness to avenge Guan Yu, it can be seen that Zhang Fei is very affectionate and righteous.
Summary: The author believes that from many aspects of analysis, we can see that Zhang Fei is a person who values love and righteousness, but also is very brave and fierce, and is a very capable person. But he also had shortcomings, that is, he was short-tempered and reckless, and it was these two reasons that made him lose his life.
