Zhang Fei roared, and Cao Cao trembled three times.
The Battle of Changshanpo was a rather wonderful chapter in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhang Fei roared a throat, which shocked Xiahou Jie to spit out bile and scared him to death. In Jin Yong's martial arts novels, Xie Xun's lion roar gong is inspired by this.
In the rendition, Cao Cao personally led an army of 500,000 people, including Cao Ren, Li Dian, Xiahou Huan, Le Jin, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, and so on, all of whom should have come, and Zhang Fei, who confronted Cao Cao's army, had only twenty people, plus Zhang Fei for a total of twenty-one.
Half a million against twenty-one, and joking, how is this battle fought?
But in the end, Zhang Fei's voice scared away Cao Cao, and after Xiahou Jie fell to his death, Cao Cao shouted "quick retreat", everyone rushed to retreat, the weapon was lost, the flag was lost, and he ran lifelessly, resulting in a stampede and trampled many people.
Zhang Fei's lion roared gong, and sure enough!
Why did Cao Cao order the run? Cao Cao's mental activities are introduced in the speech:
First, Zhang Fei ordered people to use horse-drawn branches in advance to raise a gust of sand behind the woods, Cao Cao thought that there was an ambush behind him, before the Battle of Bowangpo, Cao Cao had already been on Zhuge Liang once, thinking that this time it was Zhuge Liang's strategy again, so he was extra careful.
Second, before Guan Yu had said to Cao Cao, "My third brother's martial arts are not weaker than mine, and he has taken the first rank of general among the ten thousand armies, such as probing the bag and taking things", Cao Cao listened to Guan Yu's words, and his heart was greatly shaken, so he said to his subordinates, "When you see Zhang Fei in the future, you must be more careful and don't give your life in vain."
With the above two considerations, and Xiahou Jie's fear of breaking his nerves, Cao Cao was even more suspicious of an ambush, so he ordered a sharp retreat.
The above is the explanation given by the deduction. But when the reader reads this, there are many questions, even if Cao Cao does not dare to rush to attack, let the archers release the arrows together, Zhang Fei is fierce, and he is afraid of flying arrows!
Even if you don't let go of arrows and send a thousand men and horses to rush over to test it, even if a thousand people and horses are completely destroyed, it will not hurt your bones!
Why did Cao Cao's head short-circuit?
In fact, the above is the interpretation, if you read the history, you will suddenly be enlightened.
The confrontation at Changshanpo was not at all what it looked like in the rendition, but Zhang Fei had demolished the Dangyang Bridge in advance, and it was not Half a million troops who confronted Zhang Fei, because Cao Cao first sent five thousand tigers and leopards to chase Liu Bei, and it is certain that there were no generals such as Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin, Xu Huang, and Xiahou Huan among the five thousand tigers and leopards.
Moreover, five thousand tigers and leopards rode to disperse Liu Bei's 100,000 soldiers and civilians, and Liu Bei abandoned his wife, children, old and young, and fled with Zhuge Liang and a few people.
The tiger and leopard rode everywhere to burn and loot, and five thousand people and horses scattered and snatched property everywhere, so there would not be too many people who rushed to confront Zhang Fei, maybe dozens of people.
At the time, it might have been like this:
Dozens of tigers and leopards rode to the Dangyang Bridge, and found that the bridge had been demolished, the river was five or six meters wide, the horse could not jump over, not far away there was a big man with a loud voice, swearing and grinning over there.
Zhang Fei: You stupid pigs, there is a kind of you flying over!
Tiger Panther Ride:, you have a kind of don't tear down the bridge, we destroyed you in the past minute!
Zhang Fei: Hey hey, there's a kind of you flying over!
Tiger And Leopard Ride: ... (swear words)
Zhang Fei: ... (swear words)
The two sides scolded each other for a while, the tiger and leopard could not ride, so they turned the horse's head and went to grab the property, Zhang Fei saw that the tiger and leopard rode away, and also turned the horse's head and went to find Liu Bei.
After seeing Liu Bei, Zhang Fei told Liu Bei that he and Cao Cao's army of 500,000 were confronted, and the enemy was scared away by me!
Liu Bei was horrified: "Third brother, you are really a god and a man!" ”
Zhang Fei snickered!
