First, from hero to prisoner
In 189 AD, starting with Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, the Three Kingdoms period in a broad sense came. When Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and other Eighteenth Route princes raised an army, an incident also occurred in a small county town in Yuzhou.
A prisoner was tied up, surrounded by a large crowd of ordinary people watching. It turned out that the county official was asking people to identify on the spot: Was it the prisoner who killed someone? As a result, even if he shouted through his throat, no one came out. The county town is not big, and we all know that this prisoner is a fierce character, and he is also very righteous. For example, this crime is to fight for others.
In this way, the prisoner was locked up, and the county order wanted to slowly find evidence of his crime. However, the county order miscalculated, and this prisoner had befriended many brothers in life and death because of his righteousness, and was a heroic figure, so he was rescued within two days.
This kind of thing in the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms, too small to be small. Because almost everyone was paying attention to the battle between the Eighteenth Road Princes and Dong Zhuo. Therefore, a heroic prisoner, does his life and death matter? Not important – but really not important?
It should be known that in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when the Eighteenth Road Princes cut Dong Zhuo, Guan Yu was born out of nowhere, and what did he do before Wen Jiu beheaded Huaxiong? Like this prisoner, he also committed an accident in his hometown, but Guan Yu escaped without being caught. Therefore, at most, they are fugitives.
As for the later matter, everyone knows that Guan Yu fled to Zhuo County, where he met Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and since then Guan Yu has followed Liu Bei throughout the Three Kingdoms, and finally has "god-like existence".
What about this prisoner? It must be noted that even this kind of thing was recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which proves that this prisoner, like Guan Yu in the future, is a figure who stirs up the storm.
But the only difference between him and Guan Yu was that after the prisoner was rescued, he seemed to have suddenly become enlightened, believing that it was impossible to kill by fighting. A true cattle man should be full of strategy.
So he abandoned Wu Congwen and started another life, eventually becoming the most successful prisoner of the Three Kingdoms, and also intersected with Guan Yu.
Second, from prisoner to celebrity
Now it is 201 A.D., the so-called ten years of grinding a sword, this prisoner's sword, has been sharpened for 13 years.
In the past thirteen years, the situation in the three countries has been turned upside down. Dong Zhuo was killed by Lü Bu, who was killed by Cao Cao at the White Gate Tower. As for the eighteen princes, they also closed the curtain in different ways.
Gongsun Zhan was killed by Yuan Shao.
Sun Jian was killed by Liu Biao.
Yuan Shao was overthrown by Cao Cao in Guandu the previous year, in 200 AD, and died.
Yuan Shu is the funniest, because he is called emperor, he is besieged by the princes of the world, and he wants to drink a mouthful of honey water before he dies, but he is told: Is there blood water to drink or not? Yuan Shu spewed out a mouthful of old blood and hung up!
As for that Uncle Liu Huang (in the main history, he did not participate in the 18th Road Congratulations to Dong Zhuo), he continued to maintain the small strong style of not dying.
Now he lives under Liu Biao, in the xinye small city of Jingzhou, but he is lamenting: My old Liu has tossed for nearly half a lifetime, or empty-handed. Lo and behold, even my thighs are covered with fat flesh, how else can I cross the horse to fight? If I don't succeed, I'll be really old...
So what is this prisoner doing? He also fled to Jingzhou and was playing with Zhuge Liang and a group of Jingzhou celebrities, bragging about it.
Zhuge Liang said: My talent is comparable to that of Guan Zhongleyi. People laughed, but the prisoner gave a serious thumbs up!
This is the life of the celebrities in Jingzhou, and it seems that they have become the second "Moon Dan Commentary". Among them, Pang Degong and Mr. Sima Hui, mr. Water Mirror, are the most important pushers.
Pang Degong introduced: Wolong and Fengyan (this nickname that Pang Degong gave zhuge liang and Pang Tong). Mr. Sima Hui, the water mirror, immediately forwarded and praised: "Get a safe world."
The prisoner again praised and approved! He was a good brother with Sima Hui, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong, and even he could be regarded as Sima Hui's apprentice. Nowadays, Feng-chi Pang Tong, who has been invited out of the mountain by Zhou Yu, is said to have helped Zhou Yu to come up with a big plan, "according to Jingzhou, seize Xichuan, divide the world twice, and compete with Cao Gongxiong", which was admired by Zhou Yu.
Zhuge Liang is very young, and this is capital. So he said: Continue to brag in Longzhong. Obviously, it is to be sold at a price. So what should I do, I've been sharpening my sword for thirteen years— and if I don't go out of the mountain again, I'll be really old!
So-called: the mountain can not come, I pass. Since no one invited me, I'll go myself!
Liu Biao, the mud can't support the wall, and it must not go!
Cao Cao? The team is too luxurious, the competition is too fierce, don't go!
Sun quan? Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Lu Su, the three top talents, what did I go to count? Don't go!
Liu Bei of Xinye, don't look at what you want, but he is the "male lord". Even Cao Cao issued a post praising him: The heroes of the world are only ambassadors and masters. Although Cao Cao later deleted it, this sentence has long been known to the world. Besides, nowadays, Liu Bei's Related Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are his minions, and the most lacking "brain" is the mastermind, isn't this tailor-made for me?
Walk up - Liu Bei, don't cry, I Shan Fu (Xu Shu) is coming!
Third, Liu Bei lost Xu Shu, how big is the impact?
Seeing this, it is estimated that people know that after half a day, the most cattle prisoner of the Three Kingdoms is Xu Shu! Because the events after he defected to Liu Bei were too familiar to everyone, the author no longer showed off his deception. Just focus on analyzing how big the impact of Liu Bei's loss of Xu Shu is.
It is known that in the Shu Han camp, Pang Tong has always been known as "the biggest loss of Shu Han", he sought Xichuan for Liu Bei, but he died young, which makes people regret that it is abnormal. There is even a saying that "Pang Tong does not die, and Shu Han dominates".
But in fact, Xu Shu is more regrettable than Pang Tong, and can even be called, indirectly laying the final outcome of the Three Kingdoms. In summary, it is mainly reflected in the following two aspects.
One: fit
So-called: there is no absolute good or bad, high and low, only suitable or not. Among Liu Bei's four great strategists, the one who most matched Liu, Guan, and Zhang was not Zhuge Liang, nor Pang Tong and Fa Zheng, but Xu Shu! This can be analyzed from Xu Shu's early experience (heroic hero).
Liu Bei is not as weak as in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is a violent temper of a real hammer - the inspector is Liu Bei's beating, not Zhang Fei!
When Changsakapo was said to have surrendered to Cao Cao, some people said that when Zhao Yun surrendered to Cao Cao, his first action was to throw his halberd at the other side.
During the Great Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei killed the red eye, and was about to rush in the face of the rain arrow, but the Fa Zheng came out, which calmed Liu Bei.
At the same time, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who lived in Zhuo County in the early days, were also properly "social people", which is the content of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
On the other hand, Xu Shu is not very consistent with Liu Guanzhang? At least when he and Guan Yu were together, they definitely had a common language. In fact, this also explains why in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu and Zhang Fei mixed well with Xu Shu, not only obeying the dispatches, but also taking the initiative to cooperate.
But as soon as Zhuge Liang came, the two brothers began to have all kinds of awkwardness - this is no way, who let Zhuge Liang be a celebrity, no "social person" experience. Therefore, if Xu Shu had been following Liu Bei, he would most likely cooperate with Guan Yu to stay in Jingzhou.
With Xu Shu there, how could Guan Yu be defeated and killed? Because of Guan Yu's defeat, there is a general belief that this is the key reason: no one can cooperate with Guan Yu, which leads to his arrogance (arrogance), and even the uncle of the country, Mi Fang, dares to beat him. Xu Shu is the perfect candidate to cooperate with Guan Yu!
As long as Jingzhou was not lost and Guan Yu was still there, Liu Bei would not be able to defeat Yiling. Although it is not dare to say that the Shu Han Dynasty will unify the three kingdoms, at least the three kingdoms pattern will not be imported into the Three Kingdoms and returned to Jin. That is, shu han has a great probability of success.
Second: more comprehensive
Under Cao Cao, there was a special strategist named Cheng Yu, who had always held a military rank, and later became a cheqi general. Xu Shu was even fiercer than Cheng Yu. From his early experience (heroic hero), it can be deduced that he is a handsome man (general) who can command troops and even directly cross horses to fight, the so-called all-rounder of literature and martial arts!
This is equivalent to giving Liu Bei one more choice. Because in the history of the Three Kingdoms (not the Romance of the Three Kingdoms), when Liu Bei was alive, Zhuge Liang always played the role of "Xiao He" and rarely intervened in the military.
Therefore, zhuge liang who was rumored on the Internet to kill Guan Yu was purely a wind and shadow hunt. The powers and duties of the two men do not coincide. Guan Yu was the only handsome man under Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang was in charge of government affairs, one person and one big stall of affairs, and no one could do without anyone.
Xu Shu, on the other hand, was able to naturally change his role and become the second commander under Liu Bei. If so, Zhuge Liang would continue to sit in Jingzhou, and Xu Shu would enter Sichuan and become Liu Bei's military right-hand man. In this way, Jingzhou still could not be lost, and Guan Yu would not die.
Therefore, it is said that Xu Shu is even more regrettable than Pang Tong, at least although Pang Tong died young, he has the highlight moment of capturing Xichuan. Since Xu Shu switched to Cao Cao, he became unknown.
So much so that during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he was surprised: Why did Xu Shu have a low official position in Cao Wei and was not reused? ["Wei Luo": Zhuge Liang out of Long Right, Wen Yuanzhi (Xu Shu), Guang Yuan Shicai so, sigh: Wei Shu Duoshi evil! Why don't the two of them see the use? 】
In any case, Liu Bei's loss of Xu Shu is completely comparable to the death of Pang Tong, but this is history, and he can only borrow Zhuge Liang's sentence "Leisurely heaven, how thin is it for me" when this article ends, issuing a sigh of regret and sigh.
