When it comes to very famous figures in the Three Kingdoms period, everyone can often talk about it. But the protagonist of today's story is something special, he is Chen Zhi, who has only recently caught fire. It is estimated that when it comes to this name, there are many small partners who are surprised and very unfamiliar with this name.
This is not to blame everyone, because in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is no biography of Chen To lie, and the relevant records are only a few. So who is Chen to? What exactly is his force value? Why has it been on fire again recently?
Chen to the introduction
Chen Zhi was a Shu Han general during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, a native of Runan, Yuzhou, which is in present-day Zhumadian, Henan Province. Chen Zhi was a general under Liu Bei, and he also made a lot of merit during his tenure. The world often praises Chen Zhi as a brave and good warrior, but according to the historical records, there is a sentence "Chang ya is better than Zhao Yun".
Although there are very few records of Chen To in the main history, the recent popularity of some online texts has made many people full of curiosity about this mysterious figure, and even some online writers have written some antique texts about Chen. For a time, there were constant disputes on the Internet, and the main reason for the debate was Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun, who was more powerful.
Yuzhou met Liu Bei
When Chen met Liu Bei, Uncle Liu Huang had not yet "made meritorious achievements". Liu Bei, who was not in a high position at that time, was initially recommended by Xuzhou Mutaoqian to become the Assassin of Yuzhou. (Chen Zhi is from Yuzhou, this is fate!) Later, after Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao, Liu Bei became the pastor of Yuzhou and became the highest magistrate in Yuzhou.
Don't underestimate it as a position similar to that of a provincial governor, but at that time, Liu Bei had such an official position, and he could be a small bully. After all, Liu Bei has real power in the military and government, and people who have had military power and political power since ancient times have not done what they want to do? However, Liu Bei encountered a little bad heart, and there was no way, Liu Bei had to defect to Yuan Shao. It was at this time that Chen Zhi appeared.

In the fourth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang prepared to move his army to Hanzhong during the Northern Expedition. Since the large troops want to be transferred, it is necessary to make reasonable arrangements and arrangements for the manpower, and it is a very important step to choose who will guard the yong'an family. Zhuge Liang thought about it again and again, and finally decided to leave the defender Chen Zhi behind and appointed Chen Zhi as the governor of Yong'an.
Chen Zhao controversy
The real reason why there are so few records of Chen Zhi in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can no longer be verified, but from the few records, many netizens have their own "views" on Chen Zhi. Many netizens looked at Chen To with disdain because of the online articles, and even put Chen Zhi in the position of "big god".
No one knows whether the real Chen Zhi in history is a big god, but in the network hot articles launched by these network writers, Chen Zhi is a proud hero, and even the Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong we know is inferior to three points.
Chen Zhi's fans even scolded Zhao Yun, believing that Zhao Yun was not worthy to steal all the limelight of Chen Zhi. Even in the opinion of some netizens, it seems that Zhao Yun is not worthy of giving Chen to lift shoes, because the two are not in a level at all.
Let's not talk about what kind of person Chen Zhi really is! Let's talk about what kind of person Is Chen Zhi on the Internet? In the eyes of netizens, Chen Zhi is a god of war sent from heaven, who has experienced countless large-scale battles under Liu Bei's hands and achieved very proud results. Although most of these are not recorded in the history books, in the network text, Chen Zhi, the male number one, can show his scenery vividly.
Some netizens on the Internet have analyzed literary works, and they believe that Zhao Yun's image is actually based on Chen Zhi's character image. To put it bluntly, netizens believe that Zhao Yun robbed Chen of his job.
Many of the deeds of Chen Zhi's life were exaggerated by literary processing and placed on Zhao Yun's body, which became Zhao Yun's life resume. Therefore, whenever this matter is mentioned, many netizens are angry about it. He even hoped to rehabilitate Chen Zhi and not let Chen Zhi be a young general under Zhao Yun.
Zhuge Liang's letters are at the forefront
There are also some netizens who are more willing to respect the facts, and they first put forward some reasons why the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was not passed on to Chen Tolie: for example, the relevant records of Chen Dao are not detailed and inaccurate, and the history books are different from ordinary literary works, and the authenticity must be placed in the first place.
Therefore, in order to respect the historical facts, the author did not rely only on anecdotal rumors, but only recorded the story of Chen Zhi in the history books. So this is why we will say that many of the records in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms cannot be used as references. Because one of the two is a history book and the other is a novel, its reference value is vastly different.
However, according to some historical data, we can also find some clues in the dispute between Chen and Zhao. Friends familiar with this period of history know that the cloud in Zhao Yun is his name, and his word is Zilong. Therefore, there are also some people who call Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong, such as Zhuge Liang as we know him. Chen Zhi also has a word, which is ShuZhi. As we all know, the ancients were very particular about making titles. Only when the relationship is particularly close, or if the elders are to the juniors, etc., will they call each other's names instead of each other's words.
If you don't understand the friends can refer to the recent hit Chen Qing Ling, in which Wei Baby and Lan Zhan, call each other by each other's names, but other people, what will be called, the words of these two people. It is because the relationship between the two people is relatively close, so there will be such a difference in the title.
But this is limited to the situation where the relationship is relatively good, and there are not many people like Zhuge Liang, who is resourceful and very particular about military man, and he has a good relationship with him and can call each other by name. Therefore, when Zhuge Liang calls the other party's name, but does not call the other party's word, it is often because the identity status of the other party is not as good as his own, which is also a situation when calling.
We can find through some records in Zhuge Liang's letters that when Zhuge Liang called Zhao Yun, he called him Zilong, and when he called Chen, he called him by his first name. Do you find something interesting about this little title?
Therefore, there are also some people who use this as a basis, believing that although Chen Zhi is a very capable person, he is really slightly inferior compared with Zhao Zilong. So friends, which statement do you believe more?
