Lu Bu: The red rabbit carries a beautiful woman, and the halberd is chaotic
In the Three Kingdoms Heroes Genealogy, my favorite is Lu Bu, and my least favorite is Guan Yu, thinking that Guan Erye, who is coaxed all day long, looks down on this, looks down on that, arrogant, and finally loses Jingzhou, takes Maicheng, and forces Shu Han to a dead end, which also makes Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Policy" come to naught, and has to use a corner of Sichuan to contend with Cao Wei's entire northland, it can be said that the death of Shu Han began with this Guan Yu.
On the other hand, this Lu Bu, nine feet long, majestic, a Fang Tian painting halberd killed the enemy will flee from the wind, what is even more impressive is that he hugged the Diao Chan beauty, but unfortunately, he fought all his life, but he did not have his own base, and he also ended up with the name of a capricious villain, and the result was the death of the White Gate Tower, and a generation of heroes came to an end.
Of course, the cognition and favor of Lu Bu first came from the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", to be precise, it should be a villain book;
Lu Bu's reputation is really not good, Zhang Fei has no pride in his literary style in his life, but his title of "three family slaves" for Lu Bu has been greatly appreciated by later generations, so that when Lu Bu is mentioned, he will think of this sentence, which is also Lu Bu's signboard and synonym, and Lu Bu's name of repeated villains in his life cannot be shaken off.
To tell the truth, Lu Bu is exalted like Zhao Yun in the novel, and his image in the official history is even more unbearable, and the evaluation of the past dynasties, especially the evaluation of many famous figures, it is not too much to say that a bad comment is like a tide, "no ambition", "ungrateful" and so on, I can hardly see a word or two of praise for him,
Then why do I still have a good impression of him, perhaps, this is from the childhood complex, it has long been precipitated in the blood cognition, although I now have a further understanding of Lu Bu, but I still cherish the remnants of ignorance, not to mention, there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people, knowing that it is wrong and keeping it in the bottom of my heart, it can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for childhood memories.
"Reading three points at night, you can sigh Lu Fengxian", Lu Bu in the official history and the novel can be said to be completely different people, although Luo Guanzhong doesn't know for some reason, in addition to writing about Lu Bu's despicable actions in the official history, in the image, martial arts, beauties and other character creation, there are many beautifications and exaggerations, the result is that Lu Bu has won the reputation of "the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms", coupled with Diao Chan's side, it is natural for people to like and envy.
Lu Bu's appearance in the novel amazed the world, when Dong Zhuo wanted to abolish the establishment, Ding Yuan stood up against it, Dong Zhuo was furious and wanted to kill this Ding Yuan, but when he saw that there was a general standing behind Ding Yuan, that was Lu Bu, his arrogance immediately decreased, and Li Ru on the side immediately came out of the round, otherwise, whether this Dong Zhuo's head can still be kept is two words.
However, the Lu Bu recorded in the official history is far from this, he is a native of Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, that is, the area of Baotou in Inner Mongolia today, whether he has ethnic minority blood is unknown, growing up on the grassland, this is growing up on horseback, and the bow and crossbow riding are not a problem.
Lu Bu was a civil official at the beginning, he served as the chief bookkeeper under Ding Yuan, this is a subordinate official who is a clerk for the chief official, like Yang Xiuzhi to Cao Cao, it seems that his background is not low, at least he is a cultural person, there are not many people who can read and write back then, and at that time the recommendation system was implemented, and it was impossible for the children of the Han clan to be officials.
In addition, at this time, Lu Bu should not be known for his strong martial arts, if he is tall and big, as brave as Zhang Fei, Ding Yuan will not see Fan Yu as Xiang Yu, and praise "Strong!", he will accept him as a fierce general under his command, and will never let Lu Bu do the thing of dancing and ink.
"Extraordinary strength, known as a flying general", it seems that Lu Bu was a Confucian general who could write and martial arts when he was young, as for whether he was very handsome, there is no record in the official history, and he can't convince the public just by Luo Guanzhong's one-sided words, but everyone's impression of Lu Bu is all from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
What Lu Bu is most criticized for is, of course, the reliance of Ding and Dong on him, "loving and believing in him very much, and swearing to be father and son", and both of them died at his hands; Liu Bei took him in, but he in turn seized Xuzhou and almost put Liu Bei to death.
In that era, vote for this today, and follow that tomorrow, the situation makes it so, not ashamed, thinking that Liu Bei has more masters than Lu Bu, relying on Jingzhou not to pay back, and taking Yizhou as his own, this is not creditable to the extreme, but I didn't see anyone say that he was a "slave surnamed N" and "a person without faith", but he was praised by the world for being a loyal person.
"If you have milk, you are a mother", "If you have a gun, you are the king of grass", in that era that is harder than fists, strength is the last word, but Lu Bu's appearance is too ugly, whoever takes him in will always be injured when he leaves in the future, and it is strange that such a person does not fall into notoriety.
Judging from what he has done, he seems to be a child who doesn't grow up, and he doesn't care about doing things at all, regardless of how the world thinks of him, he will not scruple about "being a teacher without a name", only if he feels that it is beneficial to himself, and Liu Bei will be much more cunning, the same result, it seems that justice is always on his side.
Compared with his opponent, Lu Bu is really just a "grassroots" person, the Yuan brothers, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, are either royal relatives after the third duke, even if Liu Bei, who sells straw mats, has to find himself a name after "King Jing of Zhongshan", and get an imperial uncle's crown to wear on his head to call on everyone, Lu Bu is at a disadvantage compared to them.
Killing Ding Yuan to take refuge in Dong Zhuo, this is actually the same thing, Dong Zhuo responded to the call of the central government to enter Beijing, and went to Kuang Fu Han Chamber, and was also warmly welcomed by all walks of life at that time, putting aside personal grievances, Ding Yuan opposed Dong Zhuo, it is difficult to say whose side justice is, to say that Lu Bu "righteous annihilation of relatives" is a bit excessive, but as a choice, it is also understandable.
There is one thing that needs to be explained, they are all saying that Lu Bu is Ding Yuan's righteous son, but I rummaged through the official history and didn't find this at all, I can only say that he grew up under Ding Yuan's cultivation and benefited a lot.
As for killing Dong Zhuo later, it was because Dong Zhuo's brutality had greatly threatened the entire country and the imperial court, at this time, Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, which was cheered by the crowd and was in line with the interests of the people and the country, and this was also Lu Bu's prestige reached the highest peak.
But Lu Bu doesn't seem to have a strategic goal, he rushes all day long, he doesn't know what he's doing, he has the invincible Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and in the end, there is no base to fight against all the heroes, so the final defeat is inevitable.
Lu Bu was born a character who was unwilling to be subordinate, and said to himself, "A big husband lives in heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and live under others for a long time!" Therefore, whether it is Zuo Ding Yuan or Dong Zhuo, it is an expedient measure, when he is fledgling or when he is defeated, no matter who he takes refuge in, he will definitely want to become a local warlord who dominates the independent side in the end.
Wenhou Lu Bushi is incomparable, and his talents are praised all over the world.
The body is protected by silver armor and dragon scales, and the hair is tied with a golden crown and a pheasant tail.
The jagged treasure belt beast swallowed flat, and the staggered brocade robe flew up and the phoenix rose.
The dragon horse jumped on the wind and painted the halberd to shoot the autumn water.
Who would dare to fight when they went out of the customs? The princes were terrified.
This is the first time Lu Bu painted a halberd in battle, it can be seen that Lao Luo has worked the shaping of Lu Bu, full of love and appreciation, after picking the four generals of the "Eighteen Road Princes", the next is the well-known "Three British War Lu Bu".
The three of them fought one person, and it was only after they managed to suppress Lu Bu's limelight, not so much to describe Lu Bu's defeats, but to praise Lu Bu's bravery, in addition to Liu Bei's "mashing" martial arts that could not be put on the table, Guan and Zhang were both first-class generals.
Even if Lu Bu was forced to "flicker a halberd" and flashed away, but after Lu Bu had picked four generals, he still surrounded him, which was really a victory, and the main purpose of Luo Guanzhong's fictional plot was to let the world know that Lu Bu's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and martial arts are the first!
Since ancient times, beauties love heroes, Lu Bu is so good, how can he not have a beautiful woman, so Old Master Luo made up a sable cicada again, the process is really wonderful, I didn't expect to become one of China's "four beauties" later, which Luo Guanzhong probably didn't expect at all.
Later, with the help of Chen Gong, he took Shandong as a base, and finally settled down, but he also went to Xuzhou with his personal courage, but he couldn't stand Cao Cao's combination of temptation, co-optation, espionage, and attack, and finally he was defeated, and he was captured and killed.
The above are all Luo Guanzhong's novelist words, he should appreciate Sima Qian's description of Xiang Yu in "Historical Records", Lu Bu has a lot of similarities with the overlord Xiang Yu, one is Shenwu, and the other is tender to women, but both of them are too superstitious about their own force, lack of mind, have no political wisdom, and are always calculated when dealing with that group of heroes, which is very embarrassing.
As a nomad-born general, dancing with the scheming Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the Central Plains, his only reliance is his divine martial arts, the Three Kingdoms is one of the most famous troubled times in Chinese history, there is no moral standard at all, success and failure are also a matter of moments, but relying on force alone is doomed to failure.
Lu Bu is a child who grew up in the border area, even if he is educated, his resourcefulness is not a few levels compared with Cao, Liu, and Yuan, and how strong is his personal force, if he is said to be above the middle according to the official history, compared with fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, there should be some gaps, because, after all, he does not have the praise of Zhang Fei's "ten thousand enemies".
If he doesn't have the same martial arts as Xiang Yu, but he is superstitious and advocating force, it is called "doing", and he is not constrained by the traditional Confucian moral thought of the Central Plains, and he does his own thing, so in the eyes of everyone, what he does is like a wolf, where there is meat, he will pounce on it, and turn the Central Plains land upside down.
Lu Bu is a very strange character in Luo Guanzhong's pen, on the one hand, he did not hesitate to open his brain, with the help of a magic pen, wantonly to enhance his martial arts, his image is also very lovely, and also get some sable cicada and red rabbit horses, Fang Tian painted halberds to add color to it, but after being caught by Cao Cao in the end, the few words of wagging his tail and begging for mercy are really detrimental to his image.
And the death of the last Lu Bu in the official history is precisely his highlight, he is to save the lives of the remaining soldiers, so that the left and right take their heads and dedicate them to Cao Cao, but his subordinates can't bear it, so they surrender to Cao Cao's army, in order for Cao Cao to let him go, but he was still killed by Cao Cao, which is clearly recorded in the Book of the Later Han.
Another point is that the love of the child is too long, in the words of our Chengdu people, it is a "rake ear", and finally when Cao Cao and Liu Bei jointly attacked him, he twice refused Chen Gong's suggestion and listened to his wife's nonsense, which led to the final killing.
If you want me to say, Lu Bu's defeat is that he was too naïve and too honest, and when the warlords were fighting, where was there any morality to talk about, everyone was grabbing territory, occupying the mountains as kings, and interests were the supreme thing; the difference was that Lu Bu was nakedly showing his teeth and claws, and his appearance was too ugly; while Liu Bei and others were doing everything possible to make a fig leaf to cover up, and they were doing the same dirty things as Lu Bu under the guise of justice.
