Heroes and beauties
In fact, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is nothing more than a "topic" of contention.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, especially Cao Cao and Liu Bei, all fought for "orthodox" status. Cao Cao took the lead and held the Heavenly Son as a token in his hand, but he did not dare to take the last step.
After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei took away the orthodox status of the Han dynasty and became the first of the three male lords to claim the title of emperor.
As a result, there was also a god reversal, and Sima Yan destroyed the Three Kingdoms. Therefore, the height of this topic of the Three Kingdoms is destined to be beautiful as a cloud, and in the so-called heroic era, there will be beautiful women, which are suitable for success. So much so that the mink cicadas are "fish-eyed beads", and successfully squeezed out a seat of the "four beautiful women in ancient times", but in fact, there is no mink cicada in history.
At the same time, Cao Cao also lost no time in "coming to share a cup of beautiful women's soup", for example, when Zhang Xiu of Wancheng surrendered, Cao Cao obviously accepted the surrender, but he took a fancy to Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou Shi, went mad with Zhang Xiu, provoked Jia Xu, and suddenly made a "Battle of Wancheng".
Cao Cao was a well-deserved successor because of his beautiful beauty, Cao Ang was killed in battle, the general Dianwei was killed in battle, and his nephew Cao Anmin was killed in battle. This battle had a profound impact on the Three Kingdoms, opening up the battle between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's sons, while Sima Yi relied on Cao Pi's success to lay the most terrible and deadly "thunder" for Cao Wei.
Therefore, many people joke that the former mink cicada and the zou clan, two beautiful women destroyed the Three Kingdoms - so Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo are not heroes, and Cao Cao's white face becomes a traitor! These three people who were tragically pit by beautiful women were kicked out of the ranks of "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms".
As for Liu Bei, the foundation is the worst, the lowest start, and not a good woman, at first glance, there is a lot of heroism! Unfortunately, he either left his wife and children behind and ran away alone to escape, or played "bad uncle" across the river to marry Sun Shangxiang, and also created the famous saying that "women are like clothes, brothers are like brothers and sisters", and finally abandoned the previous wives and took Xichuan and married his sister-in-law Wu shi as his wife.
In this way, Liu Bei was kicked out of the ranks of heroes, and he could not get the recognition of "Half the Sky" at all, and the title of "Wolf Xiong" was deserved!
Perhaps because of Liu Bei's positioning, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is a very interesting scene, which is Liu Bei's urging Zhao Yun to marry his sister-in-law Fan Shi, who "has the color of the country and the fragrance of heaven".
2. Zhao Yun and Fan Shi
Zhao Yun is a character that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" focuses on. Because zhao yun in history is not brilliant, at least much worse than Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong. It must be known that these four are all "four generals" who liu bei has awarded, and Shu Han does not have the five tigers at all.
However, because Zhao Yun entered the biography side by side with the generals of the Four Directions in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Guanzhong also added Zhao Yun according to this, and created a concept of "Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty". In order to make Zhao Yun worthy of this title, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he frantically added drama to Zhao Yun. Therefore, when it comes to the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, there will be a lone hero Zhao Zilong!
It was after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was defeated, and under Zhuge Liang's planning, Liu Bei began to frantically rob the fruits of victory. Among them, Zhao Yun led an army to capture Guiyang.
Guiyang Taishou called Zhao Fan, and after learning that it was Zhao Yun who came, he surrendered. It is impossible to write two "Zhao" in one stroke, and the two become brothers. During a drink, Zhao Fan invited his widowed sister-in-law Fan Shi and told Zhao Yun: "Brother (Zhao Fan) often advises him to remarry. Sister-in-law: If we have three things at the same time, we will marry him: the first is to be both literate and martial, and famous in the world; the second is to look dignified and have outstanding prestige; and the third is to have the same surname as his brother. ”
This condition of Fan's can be said to be tailor-made for Zhao Yun. And Zhao Yun also saw that Fan Shi was "dressed in a silk and had the color of falling into the city" (from the 52nd time in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms), which can be called a superb beauty!
Logically, this is a beautiful story of a hero and a beautiful woman. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun was anxious, not only refused, but also forced Zhao Fan to rebel, and the Jieyi brothers broke up because of this. As Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang entered Guiyang, this matter was also learned by the two, and zhuge Liang said a word: "This is also a beautiful thing, why is it so?" ”
Zhao Yun explained: "Zhao Fan is married to a certain brother, and if he marries his sister-in-law now, he will be scolded by people; his wife will remarry, so that she will lose the big knot, and the second is also; Zhao Fan's heart is unpredictable when he first descends, and the third is also." The lord is newly dingjianghan, the pillow is not safe, and Yun'an dares to abolish the lord's great affairs with a woman? ”
Liu Bei immediately came to his senses when he heard this, and said, "Today's major events have been decided, and if you marry Ru, what if?" ”
Yunwu: "There are many women in the world, but I am afraid that my reputation will not stand, so why should I have no wife?" ”
From the above dialogue between Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, two points can be clearly seen.
First: Although Zhao Yun said three reasons not to marry Fan, he was actually worried about his reputation! In other words, marrying a sister-in-law is not a good thing (he is married to Zhao Fan, and Fan is equivalent to a sister-in-law).
Second: Liu Bei sincerely advised Zhao Yun to marry Fan. They all let go: I am in charge, it depends on whether zhao Yun is willing or not. As a result, Zhao Yun's answer was unwilling.
Third, the two major characteristics of Zhao Yun
So why did Liu Bei urge Zhao Yun to marry the beautiful Fan Shi?
Liu Bei's recognition and respect for Zhao Yun! Zhao Yun is generally knowledgeable and capable! Understand the priorities of things. Such a subordinate is what any boss can dream of. The reverse can also be said that any qualified boss, like Liu Bei, will not ignore the needs of his subordinates.
And those who let you 996 every day, even the time to find a partner (run a family) is not given to you, and even said that this is the boss of the blessing, or it is better to be careful - people, although they have social attributes, but the family is a gas station. If you don't understand or ignore this, what is the blessing?
Therefore, Liu Bei urged Zhao Yun to marry a wife, that is, to recognize Zhao Yun and give him the greatest respect!
In fact, Zhuge Liang also understood this very well, did not believe it, and looked at his first sentence: "This is also a beautiful thing, why is it so?" ”
Acknowledging that this was a good thing, and also understanding why Zhao Yun did not marry, Zhuge Liang used a "gong" to call Zhao Yun. It should be noted that in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang has always been "long and short" to Zhao Yun, but at this moment, he shouts "Why is this so".
Therefore, Zhuge Liang is the one who knows Zhao Yun the most! Obviously, from the very beginning, he understood Zhao Yun's thoughts, just two points, the first: state affairs (major events) are important, which is called reason. Second: Cherishing feathers (reputation), this is called sobriety.
That is to say, although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms exaggerates Zhao Yun's martial arts and deeds, it emphasizes the two most fundamental characteristics of Zhao Yun: rationality and sobriety! And these two points are what Guan Yu and Zhang Fei lack...
