Speaking of Lü Bu, people will naturally think of the saying "Lü Bu among men, red rabbit among horses", and in their minds will also come up with a great general holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, crotching a red rabbit horse, and galloping across the ancient battlefield in a majestic and murderous manner.
Everywhere he went, he was almost dead, dead, invincible, invincible. It can be seen that under the brainwashing of the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lü Bu, the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and no one has shaken it.
In fact, the actual combat weapon used by Lü Bu was not fang tian painting, but a spear. However, in the novel, his weapon is changed from spear to halberd. This is obviously the need of the author of the novel to make Lü Bu infinitely powerful and become the first warrior of the Three Kingdoms.
So, what kind of person was Lü Bu in history?
Lü Bu (AD?) ~February 7, 199), courtesy name Fengxian, was a native of Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, hezhou, which is now Baotou City, Inner Mongolia. His father, Lü Liang, was a general stationed in Wuyuan County, Saiwai during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
According to the relevant records of Baotou City, Lü Bu's family lineage is not an ordinary family. His grandfather Lü Hao, as early as the xiongnu attacked, was sent to the northern frontier to stay behind.
Later, his father Lü Liang inherited his grandfather's official position and married the daughter of an official eunuch surnamed Huang, who was Lü Bu's mother. When his mother gave birth to Lü Bu, due to difficult childbirth, the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. Perhaps it was the divine favor in the darkness, Lü Bu's desire to survive seemed unusually strong, and when he was born, he had already bitten off the umbilical cord himself and stood in front of his mother. My mother was lying on a piece of cloth because she was in great pain. His father named him Lü Bu.
Lü Bu grew up physically strong, learned with his mother, practiced martial arts with his father, and was known as a prodigy. Later, in the fifth year of the Han Ling Emperor Xiping (176 AD), the Xianbei tribe expanded by force and plundered the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Eastern Han dynasty could not resist and had to move south on a large scale. Lü Bu withdrew with his father to the territory of Hezhou (present-day Shanxi). And the state thorn history is Ding Yuan.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Lü Bu Biography: Lü Bu, zi Fengxian, Wuyuan County Jiuyuan people also. To Xiao Wu to merge the state. Thorn Sting was originally a knight lieutenant, Tun Hanoi, with cloth as the main book, and treated him with great affection. Emperor Ling collapsed, and the former general was in Luoyang.
There are two theories here, one is that Ding Yuan especially liked Lü Bu's kung fu, so he slowly cultivated him. Another theory is that Ding Yuan and Lü Bu's father Lü Liang had a very good relationship, and after Lü Liang's death, Ding Yuan was very affectionately sorry for Lü Bu, a child who had no father at a young age, so he took care of him everywhere and awarded him the knight lieutenant and the Hanoi master book. According to the current official position, it is equivalent to the most powerful general under Ding Yuan, plus a private secretary.
note! Ding Yuan's attitude toward Lü Bu was "treating each other with great affection." That is to say, Ding Yuan treated Lü Bu like his own junior relatives, and he obviously took more care of him than he did for everyone else. The author of the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" thus described Ding Yuan and Lü Bu as a "righteous father-son" relationship, which does not seem to be an unfounded fabrication. This also laid a solid foundation for Lü Bu to be labeled as a "family slave with three surnames" later.
Therefore, Lü Bu's footprints are not only in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia, but also in Shanxi, leaving many traces of Lü Bu's life. For example, the village of Zhonghuo in Dingxiang County, Shanxi, is rumored to be Lü Bu's hometown, and folklore such as "Huo Qingquan", "ZhiZhi Capture Red Rabbit Horse", "Crooked Neck Tree" and so on.
Because Lü Bushan rode and shot with a bow and horse, his arm strength was superior, and he was compared to Li Guang, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, which had the reputation of "flying general".
On May 13, 189, the Han Ling Emperor died. Ding Yuan led his troops to Luoyang, where he conspired with He Jin to kill all the Yellow Gate officials (eunuchs) close to Emperor Ling, and Ding Yuan was appointed as the Chief of Jinwu.
Because the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong was very absurd and favored eunuchs, there were "Ten Permanent Attendants" who manipulated the power of the imperial court.
The so-called "Ten Constant Attendants" are actually twelve eunuchs in history. The novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" interprets them as Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and ten others.
The "Ten Constant Attendants" toyed with the little emperor between the palms of his hands, so much so that when the Han Ling Emperor was a child, he often said, "Zhang Changshi is my father, and Zhao Changshi is my mother." Because of the dependence when he was a child, and after the Ling Emperor grew up, he could not do without them all the time and everywhere. Because of the support of the emperor behind them, the "Ten Constant Attendants" were pampered and arrogant, expropriated and violent, betrayed officials and lords, and their fathers, brothers and sons were all over the world, running rampant in the townships, harming the people, and no official dared to manage them. It made the miasma of smoke inside and outside the imperial court.
This great general He Jin was originally a butcher and had no strategy at all, but because his sister entered the palace, gave birth to the crown prince Liu Xie, and was made empress, he was reused. He Jin plotted to get rid of the "Ten Constant Attendants", but he had no ink in his chest, and as a result, he was killed by the "Ten Constant Attendants". However, before his death, He Jin issued an edict that "the heroes of the four sides, the soldiers came to Beijing, and did their best to castrate the eunuchs", which caused Shi Dongzhuo of Xiliang to take advantage of an opportunity to take advantage of a loophole and lead the Western Liang army into Luoyang, which became a harm to the imperial court. It can be said that "the front door chases away a group of hungry wolves, and the back door meets a vicious tiger."
Dong Zhuo's army entered Luoyang, trying to control the imperial court, but encountered a resistance- Ding Yuan. Because he was jealous of the divine power of Ding Yuan's "personal bodyguard" Lü Bu, he did not dare to move. Dong Zhuo followed the advice of his subordinate Li Ru and lured Lü Bu to kill Ding Yuan with the high-ranking official Houlu (in the novel, the Red Rabbit Horse). Lü Bu was therefore appointed by Dong Zhuo as a knight lieutenant, a lieutenant general, and the Marquis of Fengduting. Dong Zhuo was very fond of him and vowed to always treat Lü Bu like a father treated his son. This also confirms Lü Bu's identity as a "family slave with three surnames".
Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Lü Bu's biography: Zhuo Yibu saw the letter in the original, and lured the cloth to kill the original. Bu beheaded the original Zhuo, Zhuo took Bu as the riding lieutenant, loved Xinzhi very much, and swore to be a father and son.
Dong Zhuo knew that he was violent and jealous, and people hated him, so he always guarded against someone assassinating him, let Lü Bu serve as his personal bodyguard, and vowed to treat Lü Bu as his own son. As for whether Lü Bu really called Dong Zhuo "father" at that time, it is impossible to examine. But this is also the process of thinking lü Bu in the novel as a "three-surnamed family slave". His father Was lü liang, his superior Ding Yuan, and his minister Dong Zhuo.
However, soon after, Lü Bu was in an affair with Dong Zhuo's maid, and he was worried about being discovered by Dong Zhuo, and he was afraid that he would not be able to live forever.
At this time, Wang Yun, who plotted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, co-opted Lü Bu, and Lü Bu killed Dong Zhuo and was awarded the title of General of Fenwu, False Festival, Yibi Sansi, and Wasappointed Marquis of Wen, and took charge of the imperial government with Wang Yun.
Dong Zhuo's old subordinates Li Dai and Guo Feng later led troops into the capital, and Lü Bu was defeated and escaped from the capital. Lü Bu wanted to defect to Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu ignored him; Lü Bu switched to Yuan Shao. He stayed at Yuan Shao's place for a short time and was driven away by Yuan Shao. Lü Bu was helpless and went to zhang yang.
Zhang Mi listened to Chen Gong's words and invited Lü Bu to enter Yanzhou. Yanzhou was originally Cao Cao's territory at that time. When Cao Cao heard the news, he immediately gave up the conquest of Xuzhou TaoQian and returned to his division to meet Lü Bu.
Lü Bu was defeated and threw himself at Liu Bei, who asked him to raise troops to Xiao Pei. Later, Lü Bu saw Liu Bei fighting with Yuan Shu and took the opportunity to seize Xuzhou, where Liu Bei was stationed. After Liu Bei returned, he found that Xuzhou was occupied by Lü Bu, so he had to swallow his anger and instead went to Xiao Peitun to fight.
Later, Yuan Shu attacked Liu Bei, and Lü Bu came forward to help, solving the matter with the "Yuanmen Shooting", so that Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling praised Lü Bu as "General Tianweiye!" "Automatically retreat.
For this matter, some people in later generations were brainwashed by the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", believing that Lü Bu was indeed only courageous, not plotting, and did not have any selfish intentions to help Liu Bei so much, and Liu Bei should be grateful to Shu Zero. But Liu Bei did not do so.
In fact, this is an illusion. Lü Bu's idea at that time was that he was worried that after Yuan Shu had eliminated Liu Bei, he would contact Taishan Kou to the north and surround himself, so he came forward to help Liu Bei and kill two birds with one stone. This is the reason why Liu, Guan, and Zhang did not thank Lü Bu for "shooting at the door" afterwards.
Later, at the instigation of Chen Gui, Lü Bu and Yuan Shu terminated their alliance and made peace with Cao Cao. Subsequently, Yuan Shu had Chen Gui's son Chen Deng contact Cao Cao as Cao Cao's internal adviser against Lü Bu.
Since Lü Bu and Yuan Shu had dissolved their alliance, Yuan Shu had no scruples about Lü Bu, so he sent troops to attack Lü Bu, who was stationed in Xuzhou. Chen Gui also used a counter-plot to make Lü Bu defeat Yuan Shujun.
At this time, as the biggest tyrant in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was naturally not willing to be lonely, it was impossible to be idle, he gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xiaopei, and Lü Bu obviously felt pressure. In Lü Bu's view, the original Liu Bei soldiers and horses were inferior to himself, and if Liu Bei was allowed to recruit troops and buy horses everywhere, the balance of strength between him and Liu Bei would inevitably tilt.
Lü Bu then contacted Yuan Shu again and sent troops to attack Liu Bei, who had no choice but to retreat westward, surrender to Cao Cao, and join forces against Lü Bu.
Judging from this historical fact, Lü Bu is indeed brave and resourceful, at least he has never had his own strategic plan, but he can do it wherever he thinks. In today's parlance, it's willfulness.
In the winter of the third year of Jian'an (198 AD), Cao Cao prepared to completely solve Lü Bu. He led his men straight to Lü Bu. Lü Bu had planned to let Chen Gong and Gao Shun defend the city, and he himself led the cavalry to cut off Cao Cao's grain route, but he was persuaded by his wife.
Lü Bu's wife said: "The general went out to intercept Cao Cao's grain road, and there was nothing wrong with it. But the relationship between Chen Gong and Gao Shun has always been bad, you are gone, Chen Gong and Gao Shun cannot work together to defend the city, if there is a slight difference, where do you still have a foothold? ”
At this time, Chen Gong offered a plan: "Cao Cao came from afar, and he must be tired. You led your troops to attack Cao Cao, and I defended the city. If Cao Cao attacks you, I will lead the defenders to copy Cao Cao's back road; if Cao Cao attacks the city, you will copy Cao Cao's back road from behind, and we will attack back and forth. Before long, Cao Cao's army ran out of food, and we could destroy Cao Cao's army. ”
Lü Bu listened and felt that Chen Gong's strategy was also good. But when she went back to talk to her wife, she shook her head and said, "In the past years, the relationship between Cao Cao and Chen Gong has always been very good, and Chen Gong can abandon Cao Cao." If you think about it, can your relationship with Chen Gong be comparable to the friendship between Cao Cao and Chen Gong? Now you have entrusted the city and your wife to Chen Gong, if something happens, can I still be your wife? ”
As soon as Lü Bu heard it, what his wife said was not unreasonable, so she did not listen to Chen Gong's words.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Lü Bu's biography: Bu wanted to order Chen Gong and Gao Shun to defend the city, and he would ride off the Taizu Grain Road.
Bu's wife said: "The general cut off the Cao Gong grain road is also." Gong and Shunsu are not in harmony, as soon as the general comes out, Gong and Shunbi will not be willing to share the city and defend it, if there is a fall, how should the general stand on his own?"
Boud's wife said that she was too depressed to self-determination. Chen Gong said to Bu Yue: "Cao Gong is far away, and the situation cannot last long." If the general rides out of the tun by foot, the palace will keep the rest of the people inside, if the general, the palace will lead the troops and attack his back, if he comes to attack the city, the general will save the outside. However, on the day of the tenth day, the army will run out of food, and the blow will be broken."
Buranzhi. Mrs. Bu said, "The Xi Cao clan treated the public platform like a naked son, and came with a house." Now the general Hou Gongtai is not too much for Cao Gong, but wants to entrust the whole city, donate his wife, and go far away alone, if there is a change, the concubine will have to be the general's wife!" 」
Boonai.
It can be seen that Lü Bu is not a person with an opinion at all. Therefore, the more people are fought, the fewer people are fought, and the worse the situation becomes. Exactly in response to that sentence: six roots are uncertain, and the loss is clean.
I am not a macho and never dare to underestimate the intelligence of women. But Lü Bu's mistake was that he thought that his wife was a supernurl such as Empress Lü, Wu Zetian, and Empress Dowager Cixi, and did not realize that his wife was actually a short-sighted and uninformed housewife.
To tell the truth, whether Lü Bu went to rob Cao Cao's grain routes according to his own ideas, or attacked Cao Cao back and forth according to Chen Gong's plan, the Lü Bu clique may not be able to defeat Cao Cao, but these may also be the two most effective and feasible ways at that time. Just like Go as an eye, at least there are still a few "living eyes", for a while and a half The Lü Bu Group will not be completely wiped out, it is really impossible to fight, thirty-six counts, go to the top, at least there is a possibility of surviving.
As a result, just for the two sentences of an uninformed woman, all the horses in the Lü Bu Group were crowded in one place, and they didn't want to do anything serious, just waiting for Cao Cao to fight, was there a reason not to perish?
The development of things was also as Chen Gong expected, Cao Cao cut off the water and besieged the city for three months, there was no water in the city, and there was natural chaos. Lü Bu's subordinates Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xuyi saw that they were at the end of the road, and immediately defected and defected, tying up Chen Gong and surrendering to Cao Cao; Lü Bu knew that the general trend had gone, so he had to open the door and admit defeat.
As a result, Lü Bu, Chen Gong, and Gao Shun were killed at the same time, and Zhang Liao led his troops to surrender to Cao Cao.
About Lü Bu's wife and concubine.
According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Lü Bu had a wife, but his name is not recorded in the history books, and it is speculated that it should be Wei Xu's sister Wei Shi. In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lü Bu's wife is surnamed Yan and is known as Lady Yan.
Lady Yan was trapped during the rebellion of Li Daiguo, but was fortunately rescued by Pang Shu and was spared by hiding in Pang Shu's mansion. He was sent back by Pang Shu to Lü Bu, who had escaped from Chang'an.
After being besieged by Cao Cao, Lady Yan was defeated and killed by Lü Bu because she opposed Lü Bu's plan to rob Cao Cao's grain routes and disagreed with Chen Gong's plan to attack Cao Cao before and after, and after Lü Bu was killed, Lady Yan and her daughter were sent to Xuchang by Cao Cao. This Lady Yan in the novel should be the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms. Lü Bu's wife Wei in Lü Bu's biography.
As for the mink cicada, there are two possibilities, one is a fictional character, and the other is an unknown concubine of Lü Bu.
