After the Han Dynasty, before the Jin Dynasty, there was an intoxicating history, a time of heroes and stars. During this period, the legendary story of the Three Kingdoms has been the focus of history books, but few people really understand the connection and relationship between these heroes. In this article, we will travel through the tunnel of time, back to that era of passion and adventure, and delve into the rise and intertwined destinies of the Three Kingdoms era.
The founders of the times
In 168 AD, the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong ascended the throne, but at this time, the main founders of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei, were still young. Cao Cao was born into a family of eunuchs, his father Cao Song was the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng, and Sun Jian was an official in Wudi for generations. In contrast, Liu Bei's family situation was relatively less superior, and although he was a descendant of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, his family was already in the middle of the road and had to rely on his mother's knowledge companion to survive.
In 174 AD, the struggle between foreign relatives and eunuchs escalated, the government was corrupt, and the people were destitute. So an event that changed the lives of the three heroes broke out, the Yellow Turban Uprising. Cao Cao was appointed capital lieutenant, Sun Jian was promoted to county commander, and Liu Bei established his own private army with merchant funding, and made meritorious achievements and was made county lieutenant. This period laid the political foundation for the three heroes.
A twist and turn of fate
In 184 AD, the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, and the taishou in various places began to compete for territory, and Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to enter Beijing to chaotic the government, and the general He Jin was killed. As a result, the fate of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms changed again. Cao Cao quickly rose to prominence, pacified the Yellow Turban Army, and was promoted to Jinan chancellor. At the same time, Sun Jian rose to fame for quelling the rebellion and eradicating pirates, and Liu Bei began to enter the door of the eunuch Gongsun Zhan.
In 188 AD, the struggle between foreign relatives and eunuchs escalated, leading to the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Cao Cao beheaded the eunuch Ji Shuo, but fell out of favor and demoted him to the rank of Linzi County Commandery. At this time, although Sun Jian had fought with Zhu Junnan in the Northern War, he was eventually only appointed Sima of the other departments. Liu Bei fled to Gongsun Zan because he fled from whipping the post governor.
The rise of the three heroes
As time passed, Emperor Ling of Han died, and foreign relatives and eunuchs fought endlessly. Cao Cao quickly rose to prominence and became the ruler of the north, pacifying Hebei, recovering the southern Xiongnu, and conquering Wuhuan. Sun Jian grew stronger by suppressing the rebellion and protecting Yichun County, and Liu Bei also gained some power and established his own power. The Yellow Turban Rebellion and these political events paved the way for the Three Kingdoms era.
Three Kingdoms stand tall
Emperor Ling of Han abolished Shi Limu and installed the Eighth Lieutenant. Cao Cao was appointed a military captain, and Sun Jian was also made Marquis of Wucheng for quelling the uprising around Guiyang. However, Liu Bei's fate was not smooth. He first fled the county and then defected to Gongsun Zhan, but neither achieved substantial status. In the end, Emperor Xian of Han moved the capital to Xuchang and began the reign of Ling Bu Fengtian Son, and the Three Kingdoms era officially began.
The prosperity and struggle of the Three Kingdoms era
As the Three Kingdoms era unfolded, Cao Cao became the founder of the Wei state, quelling the rebellion of Lü Bu and Zhang Xiu, defeating Yuan Shu, and unifying the north. Liu Bei established the Shu Han regime, while Sun Jian's son Sun Ce began to develop his own power in Jiangdong. During this period, the forces of all parties continued to grow, each of them buried their heads in development, Cao Cao recovered Hebei and became the hegemon of the north, and Liu Bei gradually established his own power, and eventually recovered the counties of Jingzhou.
War and diplomacy
The Three Kingdoms period was a period of war and diplomatic struggle. Cao Cao moved south to defeat Yuan Shao, Sun Quan occupied Jiangdong, and Liu Bei used guerrilla tactics to counter the Cao army. The battle for Jingzhou escalated, and eventually, Liu Bei's Shu Han forces lost Jingzhou and began to decline. But this was only as Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms continued to expand his territory and conquer Yizhou, and the Shu Han began to fall into trouble. In Eastern Wu, Sun Quan began to maintain a certain relationship with Cao Cao with ingenious diplomatic strategy, while also maintaining cooperation with Liu Bei. In these turbulent times, diplomacy and alliances are crucial, and any small gesture can trigger dramatic political change.
The glory and fall of heroes
The heroes of the Three Kingdoms era not only burned their lives on the battlefield, they also rose to prominence in political struggles. With his outstanding stratagem and military talent, Cao Cao unified the north, established the Wei state, and became the most powerful ruler of that era. Sun Jian's son, Sun Ce, inherited his father's legacy, established the Eastern Wu regime, and defended the south. Liu Bei, despite his twists and turns, eventually established his own regime in Shu Han. The brilliant achievements of these three heroes will forever be remembered in the history books.
However, this era also witnessed the fall of countless heroes. Lü Bu, Cao Cao's subordinate, was beheaded for betrayal, and Liu Bei's henchman Guan Yu was also killed in the flooding of the Seventh Army. The story of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms is full of victories and setbacks, betrayals and loyalty, and their fate often depends on the outcome of the battlefield and the course of political struggles.
Culture and heritage
In addition to wars and political struggles, the Three Kingdoms period was also a time of cultural prosperity. Many outstanding cultural figures emerged in this era, such as Zhuge Liang, Cao Zhi, Cao Pi, etc., whose literary works and political ideas are still celebrated today. Zhuge Liang became an important advisor to the Shu Han dynasty with his intelligence and resourcefulness, while Cao Zhi and Cao Pi contributed outstanding cultural traditions to the Wei state with their literary talents.
At the same time, this era also witnessed the inheritance and development of ancient Chinese culture. Despite the turbulent political landscape of the Three Kingdoms era, cultural traditions flourished. The cultural heritage of this period had a profound impact on Chinese history and became an important part of the culture of future generations.
End with new beginning
The Three Kingdoms era lasted for decades and was filled with wars, political struggles, and cultural prosperity. Eventually, however, the era came to an end. After Cao Cao's death, internal strife intensified within the Wei state, and Shu Han and Eastern Wu also clashed with the Wei state. In 280 AD, the Wei state fell and the Three Kingdoms period officially ended.
This historical era full of legends has left countless heroic stories and also left a profound mark on Chinese history. The story of the Three Kingdoms era is still celebrated in literature, movies, TV dramas and other media, and continues to inspire people to yearn for courage, wisdom and loyalty. Although a thousand years have passed since the Three Kingdoms era, its spiritual traditions are still alive and well in Chinese society today. This is a historical era that will never be forgotten, an era full of heroes of the Three Kingdoms.
