Probably influenced by deductive novels and TV series, many people believe that ancient wars were decided by the generals, just as many people believe that the "no-war card" works.
Of course, the no-war card does not work, if a piece of wood is hung up and the truce is called, then there will be no war in the world -- the weak side will hang all the cities and pools on the no-war card, and must not starve the invaders of the labor expedition to death?
In fact, ancient wars were basically battles after battle, and there were many siege battles, and I had not heard of any attacker who was discouraged from fighting the free medal.
Ancient wars relied on the generals to single-handedly decide the victory or defeat, the initiator may be the author of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Luo Guanzhong, the Romance novel depicts the Three Kingdoms War, basically rely on single-handed victory or defeat.
The novel is not a serious history, it is enough to look at the wonderful and lively, the positive history is concise and cold, breaking people's good impression of "gentleman's war": three of the four single-handed famous generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms can not end well, and the only one who has a good ending is also shot in the novel.
One Lü two Zhao three Dianwei, four passes, five horses and six Zhang Fei. Among the first six fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms, only Zhao Yunma died of illness, and the other four all died of death. In the History of the Three Kingdoms, there is no record of Zhao Yundian Weima Chao Zhang Fei's heads-up, so the four famous generals of the Three Kingdoms History that we are talking about today do not include them.
The first famous general of the Three Kingdoms recorded in the main history is really the three-surnamed family slave Lü Bulu Fengxian. "Red rabbit among lübuma among men" is also recorded, but the red rabbit is not a red rabbit, and the correct way to write the red rabbit is red rabbit, that is, the red Yu Su (pronounced Wu Tu, big tiger).
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Volume VII, records: "Bu Ben bowed his horse, was strong and powerful, and was called a flying general." ”
The Book of later Han Dynasty, vol. 75, clearly records whether Lü Bu was riding a red-haired rabbit or not: "Bu Chang Yu Liang Horse, known as the Red Dragon, can fly through the city." ”
The reason why Lü Bu is the first single famous general in the Three Kingdoms is not because of the imaginary "Three British Battles Lü Bu", but in chronological order.
Lü Bu's head-to-head with Guo Fengguo Aduo, which first occurred in the third year of Emperor Chuping of The Han Dynasty, that is, in 192 AD, was fought under Chang'an City.
Wang Cang, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, was immersed in the scene and recorded the single challenge in detail in the "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty": Guo Feng prepared to attack the north of Chang'an City, Lü Bu opened the city gate to meet the battle, Guo Feng, who was strong in martial arts, proposed to fight with Lü Bu, and said, "If you win the battle, I will retreat." ”
The result of the single challenge was that Guo Feng lost: "Fen and Bu Nai fought alone, Bu stabbed Fen with a spear, and After Fen rode forward to save Feng, Fen and Bu Sui each twice." ”
Lü Bu won the single battle, but lost the whole battle, Guo Aduo was very untrustworthy, and did not retreat after losing the battle, but instead attacked the city again with Li Dai, and beat Lü Bu into the wilderness and fled.
Even if Lü Bu's martial arts were higher than Guo Feng's, it was not used by birds, and as soon as people rushed together, Lü Bu had to run.
Although Lü Bu was the first famous general to appear in the history of the Three Kingdoms, the ending was quite tragic: he was surrounded by Cao Cao and Liu Bei in Xia Pi, and he could not win or run away, and then he was mixed into a zongzi, strangled first and then beheaded, which was equivalent to being killed twice by Cao Cao.
In addition to Lü Bu, the most famous single-handed general of the Three Kingdoms, of course, is the martial saint Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, who has cut a good face in the Ten Thousand Horse Army, and the readers are familiar with it, and I will not repeat it here.
Guan Yu's ending was not much better than Lü Bu's, he was captured by the unknown Ma Zhongsheng, beheaded by Sun Quan's orders, and was really in a different place. Out of respect for the martial saints, this process is not described, and the readers only need to know one thing: the defeat of the soldiers is like a mountain, and the single kung fu is useless, which is that more ants can also bite down the elephant.
In addition to Lü Bu and Guan Yu, there are two famous generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms, who are first enemies and then comrades-in-arms. At the beginning of these two people, the readers must have already issued a knowing smile: you are definitely talking about Sun Ce Sun Bofu, the little overlord of Jiangdong, and DongLai TaiShi Ci, the first divine archer of the Three Kingdoms.
Yes, Sun Ce and Tai Shi Ci singled out the history of the famous, and even the "Qu A Young General" around Tai Shi Ci has become a topic of people's talk.
The details of that head-to-head are also not described, because the readers who read this article have that very wonderful and fierce fight in their minds. We're going to talk about the end of these two.
Sun Ce was brave, and this was recognized at the time: "Sun Ce Xiaoxiong is similar to Xiang Yuan. ”
The person who wrote to Emperor Xian of Han to evaluate Sun Ce and Xiang Yuzhi's bravery was the then Wu Commandery Taishou Xugong. Xu Gong was strangled to death (hanged) by Sun Ce, and then Xu Gong's younger son and the doorman avenged his father (lord), and easily beat Sun Ce to a fatal and serious injury: "Kill The gong, the gong boy and the guest died by the riverside." Ce single riding out, pawn and guest encounter, guest injury strategy. He died at the age of twenty-six. Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Vol. 46"
Guo Jia, a famous strategist of the Three Kingdoms, dismissed Sun Ce's bravery and thought that he was seeking his own death: "The strategy is light and unprepared, although there are millions of people, it is tantamount to walking alone in the Central Plains." If the Assassin rises, one man's enemy ears. From my point of view, he will die at the hands of Pifu. ”
Guo Jia's meaning is obvious: the main husband should do the work of the main husband, and it is useless to win alone, it is a loss-making transaction with large risks and small returns.
Three of the four famous generals of the Three Kingdoms have already died, and the fourth Tai Shi Ci should have died a good death, right? It is a great pity, it may be that Luo Guanzhong is afraid that the first three are too lonely, so he also writes that Tai Shi Ci died of death - he was ambushed by Zhang Liao, was seriously injured by random arrows, and died that night.
In fact, Tai Shi Ci had already died of illness as early as the eleventh year of Jian'an, and he had not even participated in the ThirteenTh Year Battle of Chibi in Jian'an, and of course he would not have fought zhang Liao for eighty rounds in Heshui after the Battle of Chibi.
Through the ending of the four famous generals of the Three Kingdoms in the history of the Three Kingdoms, did the reader sum up anything? In the author's opinion, whether it is ancient warfare or modern warfare, it is very unreliable to fight comprehensive strength and general wisdom, and it is very unreliable to rely on generals to single-handedly decide the outcome of the war. If it were really a big general like the rendition novel, wouldn't the treaty between the two countries read " Li Yuanfangyan Double Eagle not be used first " ?
