Speaking of the ancient era hero Haojie, the group of heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was absolutely on the list and ranked among the best.
This period is not long, it is not short, from the first year of Zhongping (184 AD) to the 25th year of Jian'an (220 AD), marking the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to Cao Pi's claim to the emperor, about 36 years of time, the world was divided, heroes were four, until the three divisions of the world, the Central Plains were temporarily peaceful.
Three Kingdoms Dispute
During this period, monarchs, strategists, military generals, and other talents emerged, and the most powerful of them must be the three forces of Wei, Shu, and Wu that we are familiar with, and at the same time, the corresponding famous generals of Wei guo have Xu Chu, Dianwei, Yu Ban, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao, and others; the Shu state has Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and others; and The Wu state has Zhou Yu, Lü Meng, Tai Shi Ci, and others, all of whom are generals with super high force value, and any one of them can achieve a very strong deterrent effect.
Huh? However, if we want to talk about the Three Kingdoms, how can we lack the "big villain" Dong Zhuo's party in the early stage?
Dong Zhuo himself grew up in Liangzhou and liked to associate with the Qiang people, so it can be said that his early growth environment had laid the groundwork for the later anti-Han emperor rule. Moreover, in the later period, he accompanied Zhonglang to attack Zhang Huan against the Hanyang Qiangren, but he had courage and strategy, and repeatedly made military achievements, but it is conceivable that his heart is not as pure as imagined.
Because of the threat of the Son of Heaven, Dong Zhuo, a general who had his own meritorious deeds in the early stage, gradually became a "chaotic thief" who disturbed the world and seized power, and a large part of the princes' revolt was to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
The development of Dong Zhuo's fate is also closely related to another person, that is, Lü Bu, who is known as the "Red Rabbit in the Horse".
Lü Bu
What kind of person was Lü Bu in history?
In terms of force value, he was skillful in bow and horse, brave and martial, and in the early days, he was on duty under Shi Dingyuan of Hezhou, and once went to the position of running Jingo (an official position defending the capital, equivalent to a military chief with great power), and Dingyuan was very close to and trusted him.
However, mentally, since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to plot to seize power, Lü Bu's "loyalty" was tested for the first time and failed miserably.
If Dong Zhuo wanted to annex Ding Yuan's team, he had to solve the problem of Ding Yuan, so he lured Lü Bu and let Ding Yuan die at the hands of his most trusted people, and his head was also sacrificed to Dong Zhuo by Lü Bu himself, in exchange for the official position of knight lieutenant, and recognized Dong Zhuo as his righteous father.
At this point, it is not difficult for us to see that Lü Bu's mind is not firm, and his rare figure in the Three Kingdoms in the later period has a lot to do with standing on the wrong team.
In Dong Zhuojun, Lü Bu was also a fierce general. He is superior in strength (physical strength) and good at riding and shooting, so he is also known as a "flying general". He was promoted all the way to The Marquis of Duting.
But even if Dong Zhuo showed great trust in him, Lü Bu himself had defected from one side of the force, and he didn't have much confidence in his heart. When the Kwantung Army rose up, Lü Bu was defeated by Sun Jian when he entered the war; and Shangdong Zhuo was violent, and sometimes threw a handshake at Lü Bu, who was his own guard, and the two could be said to be jealous of each other, but they never spread out their words.
There is another thing that is not the same as in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which can also be regarded as a condition for the breakdown of the relationship between Dong and Lü between the pseudo-father and son, that is, the legendary "Sable Cicada" incident. However, this woman in history is not a mink cicada, but a maid by Dong Zhuo's side, who will follow Dong Zhuo every day. Therefore, Lü Bu was also very afraid of the revelation of this matter, and his heart was even more panicked.
On this basis, Wang Yun's induction can be described as effortless. So Lü Bu once again shook his position and chose to assassinate his immediate boss and righteous father, Dong Zhuo. Later, Lü Bu was given the title of Marquis of Wen under Wang Yun, and basically ruled the imperial government with Wang Yun.
However, such a day did not last long, Dong Zhuo's old army invaded the capital two months later, that is, Lü Bu fought hard for eight days, and finally could not resist the mutiny in the city, and could only abandon the city and flee. During this period, Lü Bu and the opposing general Guo Feng also single-handedly stabbed Guo Feng in the north of the city, so they had the opportunity to lead the troops away.
Temperamental man?
From the above, we can see that Lü Bu's position as a person is not firm, especially in the chaotic and divided years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is not a good general who can be entrusted with heavy responsibilities for either side.
In the later period, after Lü Bu fled from Wang Yun's men, he thought of defecting to Yuan Shu, but after being rejected, he switched to Yuan Shao. At this time, Yuan Shao correctly helped him fight against the Black Mountain Army, and Shunshi took him under his command, but did not have a sense of trust in him, but instead moved to kill him when he made meritorious service and demanded military power, and Lü Bu had to run away again, and later went to Puyang to fight Cao Cao.
It is worth mentioning that lü Bu at this time was quite powerful, and his cavalry generals themselves had captured Cao Cao himself, but because they did not know the face of the people in front of him, they let him go and went after Cao Cao," who was "riding a yellow horse."
Later, because he was defeated by many soldiers, he wanted to go to Liu Bei, but because of Yuan Shu's overtures, he fought with Liu Bei, and during the period he also rebelled against the water...
ay! Here it has to be said that in the period of war and chaos, people did not have an absolute position to stick to forever, just like the relationship between Shu and Wu, which had complicated and changeable relations, according to the situation at that time, it was possible to divide and conquer.
People in the world are standing in line with the trend and doing their best, so it is quite reasonable for Zhang Fei to say that Lü Bu is a "family slave with three surnames".
In the battle between Yuan Shu and Liu Bei, Lü Bu also led troops to rescue the trapped Liu Bei, and there was also an allusion to the "Yuanmen Shooting", which shocked everyone and calmed down a hair-trigger war.
As for Lü Bu's rather unsteady stance, I personally think that he has a sentence that can explain three points: I am not aggressive in life, but it is good to solve the fight.
It is just that his own capricious side is really unconvincing, and it is naturally doomed not to be reused, but those urgent and dangerous military forces can temporarily borrow his strength to complete.
The so-called "Bright Lord" said that even if his force value was high, it was really difficult to trust him! Therefore, in this way, Lü Bu's life is also quite stormy.
