Lu Bu, known as "the red rabbit among horses, Lu Bu among people", his prestige is like a storm in the long river of history. The shocking battle of the Three Heroes Lu Bu was like a bright star, shining in people's hearts. The novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and various folk art forms have shaped Lu Bu into the image of "the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms", and his bravery and majesty seem to be engraved in the depths of people's souls.
There is such a praise among the people: "One Lu, two Guan, three Dian Wei, four Zhao, five horses, six Zhang Fei", but all this is just a legend. In the real history of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu's combat power is actually not among the top ten. If there is really such a fierce battle between the three heroes and Lu Bu, the ending may make him unable to eat and walk around. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, their force values are all above Lu Bu, and Dong Zhuo also has several tiger generals who are stronger than Lu Bu. In that era of heroes, Lu Bu could only be regarded as a second-rate military general under Dong Zhuo.
Lu Bu is strong in martial arts, but the only time he fought alone in his career was with Guo Yan, and the result was staggering, he actually stabbed Guo Yan. Another glorious moment to show his strength was the shooting of the halberd. Under the watchful eye of everyone, he shot an arrow and hit the small branch of Fang Tian's halberd with unmistakable accuracy. (Author: Shi Shu Ling Xuan Ge)
Did he do it on purpose? Maybe, maybe not. But what is certain is that Lu Bu's martial arts are not in vain. That arrow, although it was slightly off, still accurately hit the twig, which undoubtedly showed his infinite strength and superior skill. On the battlefield, Lu Bu's bravery is unmatched, but when it comes to heads-up, his role is not great. His way of fighting is more of a team battle with his army, and the victory rate is not very high.
Fighting against the bandits and grass bandits, he is undoubtedly an invincible god of war. However, once he met the masters, his record was dismal. In the confrontation with Sun Jian, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Xiahoudun and others, he did not win a single victory. Even in the duel with Cao Cao, although there was a small victory in the early stage, it was defeated miserably in the later stage. (Author: Shi Shu Ling Xuan Ge)
The reason why Lu Bu is famous in history is not only because of his strong martial arts, but also because he killed Dong Zhuo, who brought disaster to the country and the people. His troops, which consisted mainly of cavalry, were good at fighting and had their moments of glory. But history is always full of regrets and regrets, although Lu Bu is brave and unparalleled, he has never been able to achieve a hegemony.
The description of Lu Bu in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" is concise and powerful: "Bu Ben bows his horse, his strength is outstanding, and he is called a flying general." These twelve words succinctly summarize Lü Bu's characteristics: he was a powerful and good general at cavalry and archery, quite similar to Li Guang, a flying general in the early Han Dynasty. However, that doesn't mean he can win every fight.
In the battle with Cao Cao, Lü Bu was defeated and left behind three treasures after his death, two of which Guan Yu obtained! First of all, let's talk about Lü Bu's first treasure - Fang Tian's painting halberd. (Author: Shi Shu Ling Xuan Ge)
This weapon is described as miraculous in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it is one of Lu Bu's proudest weapons and the treasure he is most proud of.
Fang Tian's painting halberd has a unique shape and great power, once it is used, it is like a god descending to earth.
In Lu Bu's hands, this weapon exerted unprecedented power, making the enemy fearful.
After Lu Bu's death, this magical weapon did not continue to flourish.
Although Cao Cao kept it in Xuchang's arsenal, no one could really control it.
Although Guan Yu's strength was superior, his sword technique was very different from the halberd technique, and even if he obtained Fang Tian's halberd, it was difficult to exert its true power. (Author: Shi Shu Ling Xuan Ge)
Therefore, this weapon, which once frightened countless enemies, can only lie silently in the arsenal and gradually be forgotten.
Next, let's take a look at Lu Bu's second treasure, the Red Rabbit Horse.
The Red Rabbit Horse is an extraordinary war horse with the magical ability to travel thousands of miles in a day.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the red rabbit horse is described as "one zhang long from head to tail, and eight feet high from hooves to neck".
Such a size and momentum make it an invincible presence on the battlefield.
吕布死后，赤兔马被曹操所得。
Cao Cao was full of praise for this war horse, believing that only a fierce general like Guan Yu was worthy of it.
So, he gave the red rabbit horse to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu was ecstatic after getting the Red Rabbit Horse, he knew that this was an extremely rare war horse.
With the blessing of the Red Rabbit Horse, Guan Yu's performance on the battlefield is even more brave and invincible. (Author: Shi Shu Ling Xuan Ge)
He rode a red rabbit horse to charge into battle, beheaded generals and held flags, repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and shocked China! He became a generation of famous generals in the Three Kingdoms period.
The Red Rabbit Horse not only brought honor and victory to Guan Yu, but also became his loyal partner and comrade-in-arms.
In Guan Yu's most difficult moment, the red rabbit horse has always been by his side.
When Guan Yu was captured and killed by the generals Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong of Eastern Wu when he defeated Maicheng (one said suicide), Chitu Ma also chose to die on hunger strike and followed his master!
This scene has moved countless readers to tears!
In addition to Fang Tian's painting halberd and the red rabbit horse, Lu Bu also left a third treasure after his death-Diao Chan.
Diao Chan is one of the beauties of the Three Kingdoms period, with a beautiful appearance and a graceful figure.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" describes her:
Such beauty has made her the object of competition for countless men. (Author: Shi Shu Ling Xuan Ge)
After Lü Bu's death, Diao Chan was sent to the palace by Cao Cao and became one of his trophies.
According to Cao Cao's hobby, it should be difficult for Diao Chan to escape his clutches.
However, there is no clear record in history about whether Cao Cao was involved in Diao Chan, and we have no way of knowing the truth.
But what is certain is that Diao Chan's life in the palace is not easy.
She was forced to become the object of competition among the men, and she involuntarily became involved in various battles.
Later, in order to win over Guan Yu, Cao Cao rewarded Diao Chan to him.
However, Guan Yu was not interested in this beauty, he felt that this woman was too charming, and it was really a disaster.
So there is the legend of "cutting the sable cicada under the moon".
It is said that on a dark and windy night, Guan Yu called Diao Chan in front of him, pulled out the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and slashed her under the moon with one sword. (Author: Shi Shu Ling Xuan Ge)
Since then, the sable cicada has died.
This legend has also been widely spread by later generations and has become a classic storyline.
Diao Chan, who has a peerless appearance, has a rough life, she struggles with the pain of her life experience, and is entangled in the love of different men.
Her humble background makes her helpless, and even her own emotions are not in her own hands.
Her life is just like a toy, being snatched from and over, floating like dust, and her life is unspeakable.
Her beauty became her original sin, causing her to lose herself and freedom in the competition of men, and to a tragic end. (Author: Shi Shu Ling Xuan Ge)
In general, the three treasures left by Lu Bu have different fates and stories.
Although the Fang Tian Painting Halberd was huge, it was eventually buried in the dust of history.
The Red Rabbit Horse became Guan Yu's right-hand man and loyal partner, accompanying him through his legendary life.
And although Diao Chan has peerless beauty, he can't control his fate and becomes a tragic figure.
This also makes us deeply feel the impermanence of history and the helplessness of life.
