Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are the enemies of all people. ——Cheng Yu Guo Jia
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both called enemies of all people and are the subjects of the world. --Chen Shou
Of the generals of Shu, only the most powerful. - ZuLongTu
Guan Yu Zhang Fei was Liu Bei's right and left arm, and after the death of these two, the Shu Han clique was basically abolished half of its martial arts. As Cao Cao said: Those who have literary affairs must use force to help them. Although Zhuge Liang had the talent of heaven and earth, there was no general Liao Hua in Shuzhong who was the vanguard, and the Northern Expedition was doomed to be a fruitless return for the people.
Some people said that Guan Yu launched the war without authorization, some people said that Liu Bei Zhuge Liang sat idly by and did not save, some people said that Guan Yu did not do a good job of internal unity, and even the place and method of Guan Yu's sacrifice are also recorded in the history. More confusing than Guan Yu's sacrifice is the death of Zhang Fei, the so-called Fan Jiang Zhang Da because "white flag white armor is difficult to prepare" is just an excuse that is difficult to justify, we can completely through the Han Dynasty's printing and dyeing technology, explore the conspiracy: Luo Guanzhong's Spring and Autumn brushwork, leaving many mysteries, and after this mystery is solved one by one, the culprit behind the scenes is revealed.
One of the mysteries: Who is Fan Jiang Zhang Da?
Who is Fan Jiang Zhang Da? After they assassinated Zhang Fei, why didn't they get Sun Quan's reward? It's all a problem.
In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Fan Qiang (for convenience, hereinafter referred to as Xinjiang) Zhang Da reveals that before Zhang Fei was assassinated, they were "generals under the tent", and after successfully assassinating Zhang Fei, the two disappeared into Eastern Wu, while the general Mi Fang had been leading troops for Sun Quan to fight - that was scolded by Guan Yu for treason and surrendered to the enemy, and was scolded twice by Yu in Eastern Wu, and did not see him flee back to Xichuan.
In the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, "The Che Rider General Zhang Fei was victimized by his left and right". In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Fan Jiang Zhang Da is "the last general of the two members under the account".
Both the history and the interpretation prove one point: Fan Jiang Zhang Da is not a senior officer, and whether he has direct subordinate units is a problem, and even if there is, there are not many.
At this time, the problem came out: the sky collapsed, everyone died, there were guns across the river, why did Fan Jiang Zhang Da look for a beating when this head bird came out?
Zhang Fei's subordinates, there are only ten thousand people in total, Fan Jiang Zhang Dingtian is also a "hundred people general", there are several people with armor, two hands can be counted, as for the flag, it is possible that there is only one, others may not be able to complete the task. But they don't have this problem at all - go to the people's homes and grab a few quilts to solve it.
According to the principle that Fan Jiang Zhang Da is also an unnamed general under Zhang Fei's account, according to the principle that the law does not blame the public and the first evil must be coerced and never asked, even if the white flag and white armor are difficult to prepare, the board cannot hit Fan Jiang Zhang Da's ass, and they jump out to cry bitterly, most likely being instructed by someone to delay Zhang Fei's time to send troops.
On the issue of the time of dispatch, Zhang Fei could not compromise, because Liu Bei also gave him a death order: "Fei Dang led tens of thousands of troops, and he would meet Jiangzhou in Langzhong." ”
Time is tight and the task is heavy, Zhang Fei can only take Fan Jiang Zhang Da, two uninteresting guys, to kill chickens and monkeys. Zhang Fei angrily whipped Fan Jiang Zhang Da, who belonged to the Radical General Law, but Fan Jiang Zhang Da dared to jump out and shout, there must be someone behind the scenes, who is this main messenger, we will talk about it last.
Mystery No. 2: In the Han Dynasty, it was difficult to make white flag white armor, or it was difficult to make black flag black armor?
As we all know, the colors advocated by the Han Dynasty are generally black, red, and yellow, corresponding to the three virtues of water, earth, fire, and the Great Han Dynasty is generally black and red in the Hall of The Great Han Dynasty, and the military uniforms are basically black and red, which is shown in rigorous historical dramas.
Regardless of whether the generals in Liu Bei's Zhang Fei army wore red and black or yellow, it might be difficult to turn blue and green, but to become white, that is, the kung fu of a meal - put it in a large cauldron and cook it. This is the key point of the problem we want to talk about: textiles and printing and dyeing technology during the three kingdoms of the later Han Dynasty.
In the Han Dynasty, there was no cotton, the clothing was mainly linen and silk, Zhang Fei could wear silk satin, the small soldiers could only wear linen clothes, as for the quilt, Zhang Fei could cover the "cotton quilt", and the small soldiers may be cloth quilts.
Note that it is a "quilt" rather than a "quilt", and the one used to keep warm is the silk that is stacked into pieces – basically equivalent to today's silk quilt. In the Spring and Autumn Period, dignitaries and nobles could cover the silk of the face in the satin: "The cocoon is stained, the fine one is cotton, and the coarse one is silk." ”
The topic returns to military uniforms and flags: military uniforms are sackcloth, armor is mostly cowhide, flags have sackcloth and silk, and under the production process at that time, the colors were boiled with ore or plants.
Regarding the printing and dyeing of ancient fabrics, we can take a look at the following picture, and the well-informed reader may have seen a similar "quilt face".
Whether it is batik or tie-dye, the background color of the cloth is white, and over time, the cloth will fade, and finally it will be white or even completely white - this is the true color of the sackcloth.
In fact, the ancient filial piety, divided into five kinds of chopping decline, Qi decline, great gong, small gong, and hemp (that is, five services), these five kinds of filial piety, with the decay as the highest specification, are the primary color burlap clothes without seams, all the way to the most common linen, ancient filial piety clothes are yellow, not yellow, white and white.
We read through the historical data and learned that the ancient dyeing workshops were all "hot dyes", and before the invention of the platinum dye in 1856, the mineral plant dyes such as stone green, stone green, cinnabar, xionghuang, dai ochre, loess, white earth, chalk, yellow ochre or indigo, madder, safflower, locust flower, turmeric, gardenia, yellow barberry, comfrey, perilla, potato, pentass, sumu and so on were boiled in a big pot with textiles.
Let's watch the TV series, Liu Luoguo himself eats Lipu taro, and gives Qianlong the Xiuren potato, which is the dye commonly used to dye tan - Lipu taro belongs to the Tiannan Star Order, and Xiuren potatoes belong to the lily family.
Because of the ancient printing and dyeing technology and etiquette regulations, the so-called white flag white armor required by Zhang Fei is the unstained linen cloth, which is extremely easy to manufacture, and even there is no need to purchase any dyes, just boil the original flag armor and fade it.
From this point of view, Fan Jiang Zhang Da jumped out to sing the opposite tune, which was actually adding to Zhang Fei's blockage, so it is no wonder that the lieutenant colonel of the Che Riding General Was furious: Are you taking me as a big fool?
Mystery Three: The Lieutenant Colonel is equivalent to the head of the secret service, why is the Chinese army guard so ruined?
Zhang Fei was a lieutenant of the CheQi general Lingsi Lili (尉司) of the Han Zhaolie Emperor Liu Beiqinfeng, and according to the Book of Later Han and the Hundred Officials Chronicle, this was a high-ranking and powerful official position: "One lieutenant of the Si Li Colonel is more than two thousand stones." Holding the festival, he is in charge of the offenders below the hundred officials and the near county of the Capital Division. He is employed in the Dianjing Division, in the external counties, and everything is corrected. There is no honor or inferiority for marquises, foreign relatives, and three dukes or less. ”
That is to say, in addition to being a cheri general who was better than Sangong, Zhang Fei also had an errand similar to that of the later Duchayuan Jinyi Wei Dongxi Factory, which was equivalent to more than half of the secret service leaders.
Judging from Zhang Fei's position, he should not be a rough person, and he should be quite talented and learned, otherwise Liu Bei would not have been able to emphasize in the letter of appointment: "With Jun Zhongyi, he summoned the tiger, and his name was xuanxuan, so he was specially ordered, Gao Yongjinjue, and concurrently Si Yujing." His birth will be heavenly power, gentle obedience to virtue, rebellion and punishment, called Yuanyi Yan. ”
What Zhang Fei did was to offend people's errands, his Chinese army big tent, not to mention three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, in the open and in the dark, there must be a lot of personal guards, Fan Jiang Zhang Da two nameless generals will easily sneak into the tent, not only successfully assassinated, but also cut off the first rank, carrying a large bag with blood successfully escaped from the military camp, all the way to Eastern Wu.
To say that Fan Jiang Zhang Da did not have a mastermind and a guide behind the scenes, I am afraid that Di Renjie wanted to ask "Yuanfang, what do you think about this matter?"
Readers are invited to make a cameo appearance of Li Yuanfang for the time being to see if there is a conspiracy in this Fei assassination case.
Mystery Four: Before and after Zhang Fei's assassination, who was his deputy general and what was he doing?
An inconsistency that led to the assassination of Zhang Fei is so suspicious that we have reason to believe that Zhang Fei died in a conspiracy, and as for who the mastermind is, let's first see who his second-in-command is.
According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "From time to time, Zhang Feibu sent Wu Ban to see the first lord from Jingzhou, and the first lord used it as a tooth gatekeeper, so that Zhang Fei could guard Langzhong." At the moment, Wu Ban first published a chapter and played the Son of Heaven; then ordered the eldest son Zhang Bao to have a coffin to be stored, and ordered his brother Zhang Shao to keep Langzhong, and Bao Zi came to report to the Lord. ”
Zhang Fei's death is quite similar to the death of Stalin (who has another translated name): he drank a lot of wine with his subordinates and got drunk, only to find out the next morning that he had hung up.
Zhang Fei was assassinated, and Wu Ban symbolically chased after Fan Jiang ZhangDa, and then arranged the aftermath in an orderly manner - it was strange that Fan Jiang Zhang Da claimed to have a confidential report when he went in, and came out with the first rank covered in blood, but no one interrogated him.
At this time, the problem came up: Luo Guanzhong said that Wu Ban came to Liu Bei from Jingzhou, which was the Spring and Autumn Brushwork, which made people doubt Wu Ban's identity.
So is this Wu Ban from Jingzhou? Of course not, he is the younger brother of Uncle Wu Yi!
At the time of Zhang Fei's assassination, he was a lieutenant of the Che Cavalry General Lingsi Stationed in Langzhong, and his uncle Wu Yi was the "Governor of Guanzhong" :(Wu Yi) Chen Liuren. Follow Liu Yan into Shu. When Liu Zhang was a general in the middle of the lang, the general refused to take the lead in Fu and surrendered. The first lord dingyi prefecture, with one as the protector to rebel against the general, and one sister as the wife. In the first year of Zhang Wu's reign, he was the governor of Guanzhong.
Wu Yi had long followed Liu Zhang's father Liu Yan into Shu, and had already become a prominent clan in Shu through marriage, and his younger brother Wu Ban also became a high official: "In the name of a heroic hero, the official position is often similar to that of Yi (Yi). When the Lord is first, he is the leader. ”
Conclusion: Zhang Fei died in a conspiracy, who is the mastermind?
Readers all know that Liu Bei's attack on Wu was carried out in a wave of opposition, and there is no record of Zhuge Liang's opposition in the main history, so Zhuge Liang did not have a motive for murdering Zhang Fei--according to Longzhong's strategic plan, Jingzhou could not be lost.
Zhao Yun was against Wu, and Liu Bei did not listen, but he also did not punish Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun is Liu Bei's confidant, what to say, whether right or wrong Liu Bei will not turn his face, but to others, Liu Bei is not polite: "Mi Wei is engaged in sacrificial wine." The first lord, having called himself an honorific title, will march east to Wu, and When Mi Chen Tianshi will be unprofitable, he will sit down in prison and claustrophobic, and then lend out. ”
This "Mi" was Qin Mi, a Guanghan Mianzhu man who was only better than his father, Xu You, and Shangshan Sihao, who was both An old acquaintance of Liu Yan and a leading figure of the famous scholars in Shu, and spoke better than Xu Jing.
Qin Mi stood up on behalf of the Shuzhong Gate Valve family and almost had his head cut off by Liu Bei, and if Liu Bei did not die, he would not be able to save his life at any cost--what made Liu Bei angry was not through normal channels of advice, but to talk about things with God, which was equivalent to singing liu Bei down, saying that he went against the sky.
In order to stop Liu Bei from cutting down Wu, of course, the Shuzhong Gate Valve family did everything to the extreme, and their approach seemed to be excusable: Zhao YunweiYan, under Liu Bei's account, escorted Chengdu and sat in Hanzhong, with Liu Bei's Jingzhou concubines, and those who followed Liu Bei's Jingzhou concubines were basically Shuzhong Erlang -- your brother-in-law's brother-in-law's nest, why let our Sichuan army be cannon fodder?
Wu Ban was defenseless before Zhang Fei was assassinated, and after Zhang Fei was assassinated, he allowed Fan Jiang zhang Da to flee easily, and Wu Ban himself did not assume any responsibility, and later promoted to the rank of General of Hussar and Marquis of Mianzhu, and his brother Wu Yi became the General of Che Riding, False Festival, Lingyong Prefecture Assassin History, and Marquis of Jiyang.
Not only did Luo Guanzhong deliberately mislead Wu Ban's identity when he wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, that is, Chen Shouzuo's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", nor did he write a biography of the Wu family brothers, but only briefly introduced the Wu family brothers in the "Biography of Ji Han Auxiliary Minister" made by Yang Ju in the "Biography of Deng Zhangzong Yang", and said: "If you lose your actions, you will not pass it on." ”
When the two great uncles of the DPRK, a hussar general and a cavalry general, Chen Shou, who was born in the same era, actually said that he did not understand their deeds.
Chen Shou is not for Wu Yi Wu Ban Li chuan, is it not understood or difficult to say? Are they the masterminds of Zhang Fei's assassination? On this point, Presumably, the readers should have a clear judgment, right?
