Preface
In the complicated battle situation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the key moments of history often depend on one person's choice. There is a character who was once unknown, but may influence the world, and his attachment or not is like a huge chess piece in the chess game of the Three Kingdoms. This person is the one who was included in Liu Beiruo's command, comparable to three Pang Tong and five Guan Yu.
Imagine that if Liu Bei succeeded in subjugating this talent, then for Cao Cao, it would mean facing three times the resourcefulness of Pang Tong and five times the martial courage of Guan Yu, which was undoubtedly a huge change in the turbulent situation. In this unprecedented historical hypothesis, we will get a glimpse into the background and talents of this enigmatic figure, and the enormous impact he may have on the history of the Three Kingdoms. Let's follow in the footsteps of this character and explore a future that could turn the entire Three Kingdoms pattern upside down.
Fierce general Zhang Ren doesn't know who he is?
The plan of feint defeat in the Central Plains back then, the fire at the bottom of the pit on Huarong Road, and the array of beasts in Dangyang Changsaka, Zhang Ren's strategy and collocation are all strange schemes in the world, and even the strategists such as Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are beyond reach, and the force is not bad, Gao Shun was knocked down with one shot, and Zhang Fei almost died in a red scarf, which shows that Zhang Ren's force is strong. With his scheming ability, he must be comparable to Pang Tong's law, and with the standard of force, he is not inferior to Guan Yu and Huang Zhong. If you want to know Zhang Ren, you can know whether the world can know it;
To tell the truth, Zhang Ren was Liu Zhang's general, but unfortunately died prematurely, and no one couldn't help but sigh again and again.
The defeat of Yizhou made it difficult for Liu Bei to resist Who is Zhang Ren? All this has to start with the attack on Yizhou.
In the battle of Liu Bei's Shu that year, he sent troops to fight to Pingjiao Pass, thinking that with the sharp blades of the strategist Pang Tong, the fierce generals Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, plus Liu Bei personally went out of the horse, it would only take one day to calm down, but who knew that Yizhou suddenly killed a Ren and defeated Liu Bei?
Along the way, Liu Bei always took the strategist Pang Tong, the military general Guan Yu and other generals who were both civil and military, and the former fierce generals such as Guan Yu Zhang Fei and Zhang Yi, Jiang Wan and Mizhu pressed the formation, and then followed Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and other brave generals. Attacking cities and conquering lands all the way, there were many ups and downs, and they never encountered setbacks and retreats. Who knew that this time when he attacked Liu Zhang, he actually met a Ren, and Liu Bei, who had achieved fame, was difficult to parry, and his morale was frustrated, and he couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of fate.
Pang Tong was killed, and Liu Bei was shocked
On the first day, when Zhang Renshi displayed the Heavenly Crown Array in the Eight Formations and surrounded Liu Bei's army, Liu Bei still didn't care, after all, with Pang Tong in charge, Pang Tong was not the first strategist in the world? But the next day, Pang Tong was killed, and Liu Bei couldn't help but be shocked at this time - the next day, Zhang Renshi displayed the fire at the bottom of the pit on Huarong Road, first forced Pang Tong back, and then suddenly appeared to shoot him to death. Pang Tong, the world's first strategist, died in battle in this way, and Liu Beijun was leaderless all of a sudden.
Losing Pang Tong, Liu Bei was extremely anxious in his heart, while appeasing morale, he personally led the army to fight with Zhang Ren. I saw that Zhang Ren first feinted to lure the enemy, and Liu Bei planned to chase after him, but unexpectedly there was an ambush set by Zhang Ren behind. Only then did Liu Bei understand that the Heavenly Crown Array in the Eight Formations used by Zhang Ren on the first day was to prepare for today's Central Plains feint defeat. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ren's scheming was so deep, Liu Bei knew that he was not his opponent, so he could only temporarily retreat and send someone to ask for reinforcements.
Zhang Fei almost gave away someone's head
Reinforcements arrived soon, and Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun led troops to reinforce them. But after only a few days of fighting, Liu Bei's heart rose again-Zhang Fei almost gave his life under Zhang Ren's strategy! It turned out that on the third day, Zhang Ren used the array of beasts on Dangyang Changsaka, first inducing Zhang Fei to covet and kill the enemy, and then suddenly killing heavy troops from the flank, Zhang Fei was almost surrounded and annihilated. Fortunately, Zhao Yun rescued in time, and Zhang Fei escaped death. From this point of view, it seems that Zhang Fei is not Zhang Ren's opponent!
Liu Bei was worried in his heart, Zhang Ren's strategy and force seemed to be beyond ordinary people, and even the military generals of Wenchen were not his opponents. At this moment, Liu Bei just wants to see Zhuge Liang immediately, and only Zhuge Liang can compete with Zhang Ren!
Zhuge showed a clever plan to capture Zhang Ren
Finally, Zhuge Liang came. Zhuge Liang took Guan Yu and joined the battle. Then, under Zhuge Liang's arrangement, Liu Bei successively summoned Ma Chao, Zhang Yi, Mi Zhu, Wei Yan and other fierce men to help in the battle. There were suddenly so many fierce generals on the battlefield, and Zhang Ren couldn't help but feel jealous - he expected that Zhuge Liang must have some arrangements.
Sure enough, on the fourth day, Zhuge Liang finally used the strategy that had been brewing in his heart for a long time, using himself as bait to lure Zhang Ren to attack. Zhang Renzhong planned to catch Zhuge Liang, but was captured by Liu Bei's army in ambush in all directions. It turned out that Zhuge Liang had already prepared, and it was the reversal of the "fire at the bottom of the pit" on Huarong Road!
Although Zhang Ren was captured, the arrogance of his tone and the majesty of his momentum also made everyone feel awe-struck. Liu Bei suddenly realized that Zhang Ren was an extraordinary person, and he must have a unique skill. Otherwise, it would not be possible to be so arrogant!
Zhuge ordered Zhang Ren to be executed on the spot
"How can a loyal minister be willing to serve the two masters?" Even at the end of his life, Zhang Ren was still a "loyal minister", and the arrogance of his tone looked at everyone. Liu Bei originally wanted to surrender and use Zhang Ren, but Zhang Ren had a tough attitude and resolutely refused, and Liu Bei was not reluctant.
In the end, Zhuge Liang judged that if Zhang Ren did not get rid of this kind of talent, he was afraid that it would become a big disaster in the future. He then ordered summary execution. Zhang Ren did not hesitate to insult Zhuge Liang and cursed fiercely. Zhuge Liang was expressionless, but still resolutely ordered the execution. Liu Bei wanted to say anything more, but was stopped by Zhuge Liang's serious eyes.
When the blade was cut down, Zhang Rengao shouted, and his power burst out under the knife, and he shocked several people around. But in the end, it was difficult to defeat the encirclement, and he became a hero. Zhuge Liang sighed, ordered someone to treat the funeral, and the whole army mourned Zhang Ren for three days. The generals were all solemn and sighed.
Liu Bei missed a good talent, and Cao Cao survived and met a great enemy In fact, after missing Zhang Ren, Liu Bei's later career can be described as a thousand miles, and it is inevitable that he will be defeated in the end. Because of the lack of Zhang Ren, a fierce general and a strange scheme, Liu Bei's group has always lacked fierce generals, and in the end it is difficult to defeat Cao Wei Junfeng. If Zhang Ren helps, he will definitely be able to compete with Zhao Yunma Chao!
And on Cao Cao's side, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and other scheming strategists appeared one by one, if there is Zhang Ren, an unborn genius in the rear, Cao Cao is only afraid that he will face a similar ending to Dong Zhuo back then - defeated by the conspiracy!
Therefore, Zhang Ren's death can be described as a good luck for Cao Cao, and for Liu Bei and Shu Han, it is a pity to lose a once-in-a-lifetime talent!
If Zhang Ren doesn't die, Liu Bei can be expected in the world!
epilogue
Zhang Ren's death can be called the biggest regret during the Three Kingdoms period.
To know Zhang Ren's death, although Yizhou was gained, Jingzhou was lost; to know Zhang Ren's plan, Guan Yu must survive, and Cao Cao must die.
If Zhang Ren is here, the defense of Jingzhou can be impregnable; if Zhang Ren is here, Cao's army will be broken. Helplessly, the luck was not good, and Liu Bei underestimated this person. Although Zhuge Liang did not lose his strategy, he also lost his talent. In fact, the breeze on the sleeves is weak, and it is difficult to return if you ride alone.
Regret is regret, and fate is always definite in the end. Liu Bei worked hard and lonely, and after all, he could not escape the catastrophe; Cao Cao's qi was not exhausted, and he was lucky enough to survive. Heaven and earth reign in the universe, and personnel are vicissitudes.
Zhang Ren's death was tantamount to shaking the world, and in Zhang Ren's life, the heroes of the Three Kingdoms were incomprehensible.
