Although many heroic images are portrayed in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the so-called Lü Bu among the people and the red rabbit in the horse are highly praised by Lü Bu for his martial arts and strength, and he is the leader among the heroes in the world. In the book, it is even more vigorously exaggerated, describing a famous war, the fight scene of the three British battle Lü Bu.
In the fifth episode of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is about the world's heroes and heroes to fight the Han thief Dong Zhuo, under the Tiger Prison Lü Bu alone blocked all the heroes, no one was invincible, in the face of the rampant Lü Bu, Zhang Fei was furious in his chest and immediately went forward to fight with him, the two fought for 80 rounds without winning or losing, Guan Yu saw this situation and also went forward to attack Lü Bu, the three of them fought fiercely for 50 rounds, Guan Zhang and the two still could not fight Lü Bu, at this time Liu Bei also joined the battle, Lü Bu saw the three of them jointly besieging him, so he falsely shook Liu Bei's move and pulled his horse back to the camp. This is the famous Three Ying Battle Lü Bu.
This section of the battle in the book not only highlights Lü Bu's bravery, but also describes the friendship between Liu Guanzhang. It is one of the most wonderful episodes of many war scenes in the book, but did the Three Ying Battle Lü Bu, who was described by Luo Guanzhong so delicately and truly, really happen in history?
Carefully read the relevant history books, but it is difficult to find convincing evidence, then the authenticity of this battle is very questionable, the creation time of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the Ming Dynasty, which is the era of world culture prosperity and the creation of a large number of plain novels. Luo Guanzhong created the Romance of the Three Kingdoms based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms written by the Western Jin Dynasty historian Chen Shou, plus his own life experience accumulated in peacetime and his understanding of society.
There are many events in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the prototype can be found in the history books, but this wonderful Three Ying Battle Lü Bu has not been found, and in the biography of Lü Bu of the Three Kingdoms, there is indeed an incident of Lü Bu fighting with the Kwantung Rebel Army against Dong Zhuo, but there is no mention of Liu Guanzhang's three people, if there is indeed an incident of the Three Yings Battle lü Bu in history, it will not be recorded. In addition, in the main biography of the Three Kingdoms Chronicle, it is not mentioned that Liu Bei participated in the past crusade against Dong Zhuo, on the contrary, during the time of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei followed the general to recruit troops and buy horses. During this time, Liu Bei ran east and west, and did not participate in the campaign against Dong Zhuo at all, which fundamentally eliminated the possibility of the Three Yings Fighting Lü Bu.
