Three Kingdoms Gate Shu Ancestor (Zhou Tan)
The Yuzhou army was defeated and the road was poor, and Xu Shutui was able to recommend Wolong.
Not a lowly word three visits to the Gurudwara, who made Xuan de Lord Ba Qiong.
Liu Bei "missed" a lot of talents during his entrepreneurial period, and the Internet often said Chen Deng, Chen Qun, these people, but these are essentially Han officials, only temporarily assisting Liu Bei as a chief. Liu Bei has a talent who really tied himself to Liu Bei's chariot, that is, Xu Shu, who everyone knows. This Xu Shu is also a very interesting character, first as a heroic hero, and then changed to a cultural celebrity. Perhaps because of this more tortuous experience, Xu Shu is very popular with novelists, giving this character more deeds and personality, and there is a saying that Cao Ying did not say a word later. The following xiaobian will talk about this person and talk about the real Xu Shu.
A hero who avenges people and wears his hair and powder
Mr. Wang Fuzhi put forward the phrase "The Han Dynasty perished by force", which did not mean that the Han Dynasty was strong when it fell, but that in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, from top to bottom, there was a kind of atmosphere of exhausting soldiers and fighting. After putting aside the special political environment at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was also presented in the long river of history with a martial posture. Under such a social atmosphere, it is easy to appear that kind of renxia who emphasizes faith and righteousness and lightly lives and deaths. And this style of Renxia is accepted by the upper echelons of society from a certain point of view, at least Tai Shigong's evaluation of Renxia in the "History of the Rangers" is very high.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty compared with the Western Han Dynasty, the atmosphere of RenXia was somewhat diluted, but it was not said to be completely depressed. Moreover, in the chaotic era at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the authority of the imperial court was weakened, the local control was insufficient, and the bloodshed was continuous, people needed to use force to protect themselves, and the roles of relatives, friends, teachers, and chiefs were also vulnerable. In this social environment, the wind of renxia will undoubtedly flourish again. Xu Shu used to be such a heroic hero, dancing swords and making swords, gathering people in chaos.
The so-called "chivalrous use force to violate the prohibition", Xu Shu also violated the law. In ancient times, revenge was a reasonable thing to do, and the act of avenging loved ones would even affect the revision of the law. "The hatred of the father does not share the whole world, the hatred of brothers does not share with the country, the hatred of friends does not coincide with the same dynasty, and the hatred of the people does not share the neighbor." The wind of revenge flourished, RenXia was good at fencing, heavy faith, and light life and death, especially in the political darkness of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when justice could not be done, it was easy to directly use the most primitive violent means to "solve" the problem. Xu Shu once avenged people, painted his face with clay powder, killed people with his hair, and was finally robbed by his companions. Although this kind of behavior violated the law, it was only a righteous act of revenge and won Xu Shu's reputation. Of course, this kind of reputation only has a role in the hero, just like Dianwei "known to Haojie" after avenging and killing people. However, after this experience of escaping death, Xu Shu gave up the identity of Ren Xia, and also gave up this reputation, abandoning wu congwen and learning Confucian classics instead, hoping to enter the world through culture or choose a place to live.
Xu Shu's relationship with Zhuge Liang
When Xu Shu was studying, he was very good with one person, that is, Shi Tao shi Guangyuan. During the Chuping period (that is, from 190 to 193 AD), the northern region fell into chaos, in contrast, the environment of Jingzhou was relatively stable, and Liu Biao also paid great attention to Jingzhou's cultural undertakings, opening schools to recruit talents. So Xu Shu and Shi Tao both took refuge in Jingzhou, which should be in the Xiangyang area, which was also the political and cultural center of Jingzhou at that time
After Xu Shu came to Jingzhou, he integrated into the local cultural circle. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, the Records of Xiangyang, Wei Luo, and other historical sources, Xu Shu had at least close contacts with Zhuge Liang, Meng Jian, Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Xiang Lang, and others, and possibly also had contacts with Cui Jun, Han Song, and Pang Tong. It can be said that Xu Shu has become a member of the Jingxiang celebrities by virtue of his achievements in scripture.
Unlike hermits such as Sima Hui and Pang Degong, Xu Shu was keen to seek fame and take chances in the chaotic situation of the crowd. There were two forces in Jingzhou, one was Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou recognized by the imperial court, but many people were not optimistic about him, including Sima Hui and Zhuge Liang; and There was Liu Bei, who lived in Jingzhou and watched the gate in the north of Jingzhou (strictly speaking, there was still Zhang Xian, but Zhang Xian's main activity was in the south of Jingzhou, and he was soon eliminated by Liu Biao). Xu Shu believed that Liu Bei would achieve hegemony, so he chose to defect to Liu Bei, who was only a county at that time, and would not be able to pass the pass and Zhang. Or there is another reason, Liu Bei and Xu Shu, the blood of Ren Xia is shed in his bones, which is still different from Liu Biao, a "cultural person", and is more adapted to the chaotic world.
Xu Shu tied himself to Liu Bei's chariot, and at the same time recommended Zhuge Liang as a friend to Liu Bei, and persuaded Liu Bei to take the initiative to invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain. It is said that Zhuge Liang is waiting for the price and selling, and it is not intended to be a meritorious name, in short, he has made enough gestures. And Liu Bei also with full sincerity, as a nearly fifty-year-old Zuo general three times to visit a white body less than thirty years old, and finally in exchange for Zhuge Liang's "bow down, die and then die." Xu Shu was able to be favored by novelists, perhaps to a certain extent, under the influence of Zhuge Liang, a historical figure.
Square inches have been messed up, do not say a word seriously?
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (i.e., 208 AD), Cao Cao attacked Liu Biao from the south, coinciding with Liu Biao's illness and death, and Liu Chun succeeded Jingzhou Mu and surrendered to Cao Cao. Liu Bei was unable to resist Cao Cao and could only retreat to Jiangling, but because he was slowing down the march with too many people, he was caught up and defeated by Cao Cao's tiger and leopard horses at Dangyang. In the "Battle of Dangyang", Liu Bei's two daughters were captured, and Lady Gan and Liu Chan were also nearly captured, but fortunately rescued by Zhao Yun, and Xu Shu's mother was also captured by Cao Jun. Not to mention how the Han Dynasty attached importance to filial piety, Xu Shu did not care about what impact his mother would have on his reputation, and it was indeed the common sentiment of people that his mother was plundered and every inch was in chaos. Xu Shu's switch to Cao Cao for this reason was a reasonable thing. Xu Shu took the initiative to bid farewell to Liu Bei, and it can be seen that he still has a heroic bone and is a bright and upright person.
The square inch has been messed up, and it is not true not to say a word. In fact, Xu Shu did not make this promise at all when he bid farewell, and Xu Shu also successfully embarked on a career path after arriving at Cao Ying. During the reign of Cao Wei Taihe (i.e., from 227 to 233 AD), Xu Shu served as a right lieutenant general (in charge of the right office lang official) and Yu Shi Zhongcheng (御史中丞) (御史台官), one of the "three solo seats" of the Eastern Han Dynasty), although Zhuge Liang lamented that he was not reused, but this was based on the fact that Zhuge Liang himself was a chancellor. Moreover, it is mentioned on the Internet that Xu Shu once persuaded Cao Pi to take the throne in the first year of Yakang (that is, 220 AD) with his courtiers. However, this point is not very sure, in the "Gongqing General Shang zun" there is indeed a record of "infantry lieutenant Guannei Hou Chenfu (Xu Shu's original list of Fu)", but the editor is not clear whether Xu Shu has been an infantry lieutenant, whether this person is Xu Shu, there may be some other information Xiaobian has not found. If so, please ask the Fang family for guidance.
Now many Three Kingdoms-related games include Xu Shu in Liu Bei's group, which must be influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The historical Xu Shu was a Wei chen, he did not promise not to make a policy, and his career in Cao Wei was relatively smooth. In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei's group really did not make a move in the enemy camp was Xi Hong, the younger brother of Xi Zhen, who falsely surrendered to Eastern Wu. However, the character of Xu Shu has experienced twists and turns, has a distinct personality, is conducive to literary creation, and his relationship with Zhuge Liang is very shallow, perhaps later novelists are based on these reasons, and Put Xi Hong's affairs on Xu Shu's head.
