The Three Kingdoms period became the most familiar period in history, and the deeds of wei shu and Wu's struggle for hegemony in the three kingdoms were almost well known. It is undeniable that the Three Kingdoms period can become a well-known deed, which is definitely inextricably related to the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The emergence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has given people a preliminary understanding of the Three Kingdoms period.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms played a role in promoting the Three Kingdoms period, in which most people understand the Three Kingdoms period through the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Novels are novels after all, and many of them are fictional, such as the Empty City Plan, the Three British Battles, etc. From this point of view, people's understanding of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms cannot be regarded as a correct history.
Zhuge Liang in the novel has reached a nearly perfect state, the reason is that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is described with Shu Han as the main line, so the description of Zhuge Liang in the novel must be a bit fascinating. Although Zhuge Liang in the novel is described as somewhat fascinating, in the main history, Zhuge Liang is also very powerful.
The author Luo Guanzhong portrayed Zhuge Liang as a being who was "wise and close to a demon". In fact, most of Zhuge Liang's deeds, especially those military achievements, were fabricated by the author, for example. For example, "Tongue Battle Group Confucianism", "Wisdom Radical Zhou Yu", "Bitter Meat Scheme", "Borrowing the East Wind", etc., all of which are nothing.
What is even more powerful is that Zhuge Liang's three qi Zhou Yu killed Zhou Yu, which is even more fictional. Historically, Zhou Yu died of illness. First of all, the historical Zhou Yu is 6 years older than Zhuge Liang, and more importantly, is Zhou Yu really stingy? That is to say, Zhou Yu's belly was small, and as a result, he was killed by Zhuge Liang alive?
Just look at how the history books evaluate Zhou Yu, and the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" evaluates Zhou Yu as "Gongjin Wenwu Strategy, The Hero of Ten Thousand People, Taking Care of its Vast Quantity, I am afraid that it will soon be the ears of people." That is to say, Chen Shou was very recognized by Zhou Yu. Secondly, in the "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu" also recorded Zhou Yu's evaluation: "In the year of Gongjin, Xiao Qiao was first married, and she was majestic and heroic. Lupine scarf, between talk and laughter, the tree ashes disappear. ”
Judging from the discovery of the history books, Zhou Yu could not have died in Zhuge Liang's anger, and there are also different theories about Zhou Yu's death in the history books. According to the records of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu died of illness. In the fifteenth year of Jian'an (210), Sun Quan agreed to Zhou Yu's military plan to attack Yizhou, after which Zhou Yu led an army to attack Yizhou. Zhou Yu rushed back to his station on Gangneung Road and fell seriously ill, and eventually died of baqiu at the age of 36.
At that time, the medical level was low, but Zhou Yu still received the highest level of care, but Zhou Yu still did not survive in the end. There is a sentence in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms And Zhou Yu Biography", "Ningwei is dissolved, but it is the north bank of the Crossing Tun, and the Great War of Keqi." Yu pro-horse across the horse To chen, will be in the middle of the right flank, sores are very bad, then return. Zhou Yu was hit by an arrow while commanding the battle, which caused his condition to deteriorate and he could only retreat.
That is to say, at this time, Zhou Yu's condition was only worsening, but on the way back, Zhou Yu died of illness. After Sun Quan learned of this, Yang Tian said bitterly, "Gongjin has the assets of Wang Zuo, but now he has a short life, why should he be lonely?" In addition, historians also said that Zhou Yu is incomparable to Zhuge Liang, and the two are not on the same level.
Historians say this for no reason. As early as when Zhuge Liang had not yet come out of the mountains, Zhou Yu outlined the blueprint of Eastern Wu for Sun Quan: dividing the Yangtze River into two parts, according to Jiangdong, Tu Jingyi, and then waiting for the opportunity to dominate the Central Plains. From another point of view, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang did not confront each other, but the two did cooperate.
The emergence of the Battle of Chibi is undoubtedly a masterpiece of Zhou Yu, Liu Bei joined forces with Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao, causing Cao Wei's expansion rate to decline rapidly, and because of this, Cao Wei lost the possibility of dominating the world after the defeat at the Battle of Chibi. In the two years between the Battle of Chibi and the death of Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang's duty was to collect taxes in the three counties of Lingling, Guiyang, and Changsha to replenish the army and do a good job in logistics.
From this point of view, the Three Qi Zhou Yu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms could not have happened at all. The reason is that Zhou Yu has been in charge of various political affairs and military affairs in Eastern Wu, at the same time, Zhuge Liang simply has no ability to fight with Zhou Yu, at this time Zhuge Liang has not yet shown his talent, Liu Bei just let Zhuge Liang do logistics, Zhuge Liang did not show his talent at this time.
