Bao Long, a fictional character of Luo Guanzhong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, appears in the fifty-second episode of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and his real identity is a military general born in a hunter, and he is a lieutenant of the Guan Military Academy under Zhao Fan in Jingnan Guiyang in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Bao Long is one of the Five Tigers of Jingnan, who once shot and killed the Double Tiger, Weizhen Jiangnan, and together with his comrade-in-arms Chen Ying, he was called "Guiyang Shuangbi".
The Five Tigers of Jingnan were the five military generals who fought Liu Bei's army when Liu Bei captured the four counties of Jingnan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The five tigers of Jingnan each have their own characteristics: Xing Daorong, the first general of Jingnan, has the courage of ten thousand men, making a mountain axe, known as "ten thousand enemies"; Yang Ling, whose status overwhelms Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, became the first brave general under Han Xuan. Every time you go to war, you will be the vanguard and be unstoppable. Liu Xian, the eldest son of Liu Du (劉度長公子), was a famous scholar of Jingnan, known as "Confucian General", who was good at recruiting talents and talents. Chen Ying, a fierce general of Guiyang, is good at making flying forks, fighting calmly and strategically; Bao Long, who has shot and killed double tigers, Weizhen Jiangnan.
Bao Long, like Chen Ying, only appears once in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, two small paragraphs, two separate lines, and Chen Ying and Chen Ying jointly said a sentence to Zhao Fan Zhao Yun and zhao yun, and once used martial arts and a record of using text. Bao Long, although he had the brilliant achievement of shooting two tigers, dared to say big things, saying that he wanted to catch Zhao Yun alive, really a frog at the bottom of the well, and he didn't know that there was a strong hand in the strong, and there was a mountain high. Outside Guiyang, it can be said that there are many strong people, each leading the way. Not to mention that Zhao Zilong, who is "seven in and seven out" on the longboard slope, is a strong and tough guy who is invincible. Therefore, a person like Bao Long, who is blind and blind, who is not able to measure up to himself, and who is brave and strong, is destined to be masochistic in front of Zhao Yun. In the end, Bao Long failed to surrender, but was beheaded by Zhao Yun to show the public.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Bao Long believes that he has a natural brute force, and he relies on the experience of shooting two tigers, and he speaks wildly in front of his boss and partner, unscrupulously, but everywhere is full of rat eyes and the feeling of not measuring his strength. A sentence "The two of us surrendered to his army, but Taishou led the troops to fight, and the two of us captured them." "The three points of the indigamation portrayEdron's ignorance. One sentence "Five hundred rides is enough." Zheng Yi said outlining Bao Long's ignorance.
In the novel, The reason why Bowron is so self-sufficient is for the following reasons.
First, birth bondage.
In a society of door valve politics, origin is crucial. Especially at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there began to be a typical door valve political situation of "no cold door in the upper product, no scholar in the lower product", "there is a public in the public gate, and there is a qing in the qing gate". People who come from the bottom of society are extremely difficult to have a day to emerge. Bao Longkong had the achievement of shooting two tigers, but the hunter's origin became his biggest shortcoming, and it was difficult to have room for development in the Eastern Han Officialdom. To this end, Boron's low birth constrained his pace of progress in his career.
Second, geographical restrictions.
Although Bao Long was a lieutenant in charge of the military academy, he was not a full-fledged lieutenant who was awarded the title of Chao Yan by virtue of his military merits and fame, but a miscellaneous lieutenant who was rewarded by Shi Ender and rewarded by Chao Yan. Bao Long, the lieutenant in charge of the military academy, was even a miscellaneous number among the miscellaneous lieutenants, but the lieutenant of Guiyang County's Taishou Zhao Fan himself was privately funded, and was never included in the official system series of Chaoyan. Therefore, if Bao Long wants to have a longer development in his career, he is loyal to Zhao Fan, thinks what Zhao Fan thinks, and is anxious about What Zhao Fan is anxious about, so that he can follow Zhao Fan's rising ship and rise step by step. If he left Zhao Fan or left Guiyang County, Bao Long would not even be a soldier who fought and ate food, let alone a lieutenant of the Military Academy, and could only return to Guiyang Lingshan Township to run his old business.
Third, opportunity constraints.
Guiyang is located in the south, adjacent to lingnan, far from the central center of the Central Plains, the geographical location and importance of whether it is in the terrain of Jingzhou or in the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty, are in a very embarrassing position, and even see the wind to make the rudder of the lord, whose strength is strong will fall to whom. From the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the Battle of Chibi, Guiyang County was first controlled by Liu Biao, and then Cao Cao went south and then submitted to Cao Cao. Therefore, Guiyang County's repeated non-resistance caused the military generals to lose the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Therefore, Bao Long also missed many, many opportunities to make meritorious achievements, so that he failed to fly huang Tengda for several times, and he was relegated to the position of lieutenant in charge of military academies for decades, and he was never promoted.
Zhao Yun's capture of Guiyang was an opportunity for Bao Long: to win the battle, the reputation of the official position was gained, fame and fortune were both gained; defeat, surrender and confession, is also normal, commonplace. Therefore, Bao Long did not measure up to his strength and challenged Zhao Yun, and the most fundamental thing was that the word "profit" was the head.
Author's Note: Not measuring one's own strength refers to not being able to correctly estimate one's own strength. Bao Long, who was originally a mountain hunter, just by virtue of his experience of shooting the double tiger, dared to speak wildly, and he wanted to fight with Zhao Yun and capture Zhao Yun alive. It was already impossible to fight Zhao Yun, and he still had to surrender, and finally died at the hands of Zhao Yun. As the saying goes, man must be self-aware, not arrogant. Otherwise you will die ugly.
