First, how to debut is very important
So-called: cautious first battle! By extension, it is "a person's appearance", or "how he debuts", which is very critical and often determines his future development.
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei's "appearance" is very exquisite, and from the beginning, he affirms that Liu Bei is a "hero", followed by the introduction of personality characteristics, "not very good at reading; wide sex, widowed, moody and angry; known for great ambition, good at making friends with the world's haojie", and then the appearance characteristics of "two earlobes and shoulders, hands over knees", in short, it is not an ordinary person at a glance.
On the other hand, Cao Cao was miserable, as soon as he appeared, he was a warrior image, "flashing out a general for the head", and then he dug up from Cao Cao's childhood, pretending to be sick to deceive his uncle, forcing Xu Shao to evaluate himself: the son of the world's capable subject, the chaotic world's adulterous male also! Doesn't it feel like a mix-and-match?
That's right, the proper and cunning warrior belongs to the same kind of person as Dong Zhuo in the back. Therefore, the subtext is actually that Cao Cao is nothing more than an upgraded version of Dong Zhuo.
What about Guan Yu? His appearance was obviously to foil Liu Bei, because then it was Taoyuan Sanjieyi. Therefore, for Guan Yu, it should be analyzed in terms of "how to debut" - this is Guan Er's brother "Wenjiu Chopping Huaxiong"!
The Wenjiu chopping Huaxiong in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be called a famous chapter, not only to say how powerful Guan Yu is, but also to show the struggle in "another battlefield" around this matter, and the most wonderful of them is Cao Cao!
Second, the battlefield behind Guan Yu chopping Huaxiong
Dong Zhuo's rebellion endangered the world, and the eighteenth road princes turned their blood into an alliance, indicating that they would unite as one and kill Dong Zhuo. As a result, the slogans were shouted loudly, but in fact, they were pregnant with ghosts. Everyone hopes that others will go to the fore and get benefits behind their own backs. Even the alliance lord Yuan Shao.
When Hua Xiong came to attack, seeing that "General Pan Feng" and other so-called famous generals had been killed, Yuan Shao said one by one, "Unfortunately, my generals Yan Liang and Wen Ugly are not there", but the question is what did Yan Liang and Wen Ugly do? It is yuan shao's trump card in his hand, and Dong Zhuo is a major event to save the world, why didn't he come? Is this scientific?
The answer is obviously that Yuan Shao is preserving his strength and wants others to go shopping.
In the same way, the same is true of Cao Cao. His subordinates Xiahou Huan, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Yu Ban, etc. were all fierce men, so why didn't Cao Cao send these people to fight Huaxiong? It makes sense. So-called: all are old rivers and lakes, than who is deeper into the sea!
Therefore, it was not how powerful Hua Xiong was, but the eighteen princes were all pregnant with ghosts and did not show their true abilities. But Liu Bei is an "outlier"!
Liu Bei came with Gongsun Zhan, which means that he was not qualified to participate in this "circle activity". This is doomed, Liu Bei must be low-key, and everyone present is a "big guy". The big guys talked and laughed, and he liked and poured wine. The big guys were unpredictable, and he was heartbroken.
Seeing that now the big brother of the alliance lord took a mouthful of "Unfortunately, my general Yan Liang and Wen Ugly have not arrived!" If one is here, why be afraid of Huaxiong." Liu Bei knew that Yuan Shao was nothing more than shirking responsibility, and the subtext was: It is not that I do not work hard, but because of irresistible factors, I have nothing to do. Therefore, friends, I let the stage out, it depends on your performance!
Sure enough, Guan Yu came out and said: I will solve this problem! In fact, it was Liu Bei who agreed to Guan Yu's rise to power. After all, if he wants to enter this big gangster circle, he needs to "cast his name".
Guan Yu's appearance made Yuan Shao very happy and solved his siege, otherwise he would not be silent, and Yuan Shao would not be able to step down. However, after Yuan Shu learned that Guan Yu was the "horse archer", he immediately became angry and objected, and angrily scolded: "Ru deceives my princes without a great general? Measure an archer, ann dare to talk nonsense! Play with me. ”
Yuan Shao didn't say a word, why did Yuan Shu react so fiercely?
Just a Yuan Shu Xiao general Yu Shi, was clicked by HuaXiong - everyone is doing business together, I have funded, spent it, but a few of you are clutching your wallets, pushing an outsider into the field to stir up trouble, what do you mean?
But Yuan Shu's words can not be said explicitly, after all, he agreed to Yu's involvement in the war, which also contains the meaning of "Li Wei", the so-called who pays for who benefits, in case of how to kill Hua Xiong, I Yuan Shu will benefit the most. It turned out to be a smash. Therefore, he began to look for Yuan Shao and others. Naturally, he would be extremely angry at Guan Yu's turmoil.
Things freeze here! Yuan Shao did not dare to take the stubble, otherwise Yuan Shu would definitely force him to "contribute". Everyone understands that Yuan Shu is nothing more than saying that "Guan Yu went to war with Huaxiong"!
Third, Cao Cao's three sentences contain mysteries
At this moment, Cao Cao spoke: "The highway is angry. If he speaks loudly, he will have courage, and if he tries to teach a horse, if he is invincible, it is not too late to be responsible. ”
This is Cao Cao's first sentence, conveying three meanings.
One: support Guan Yu to fight. Second: appease Yuan Shu. Third: break the deadlock.
But Cao Cao's true intention was to control the "right to speak". Because later, in order to appease Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao also said that Guan Yu's official position was too low and would be laughed at.
But Cao Cao then uttered a second sentence: "This man is very good-looking, and Hua Xiong'an knows that he is an archer." ”
It is equivalent to Cao Cao, by supporting Guan Yu, and continuously vetoed Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who had the greatest say among the Eighteen Road princes.
Some people may say: is the right to speak really so important?
They have all held meetings, always talking about the boss, and others take small books to record carefully. If once a situation occurs and the boss encounters a dilemma, then the person who can solve the problem at this moment will naturally invisibly increase his influence by speaking, right?
Watching the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when the Eighteenth Route princes cut Dong Zhuo, it was always Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu who talked about it, and Cao Cao only suddenly spoke up after Guan Yu appeared! Not as in the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao is the focus as soon as he goes, and everyone revolves around him.
Therefore, when the Eighteenth Route Princes cut Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao was a small role! This is also the reason why Cao Cao supported Liu Bei (through Guan Yu) to enter the circle so much!
In this way, after Guan Yu beheaded Hua Xiong, the matter was successfully resolved, and Cao Cao was also "very happy". But it is clear that Guan Yu's "amazing way of debuting" has also made Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suddenly have confidence. Therefore, Zhang Fei suddenly shouted in a voice: "Brother Li beheaded Huaxiong, don't kill here, take Dong Zhuo alive, and stay longer!" ”
Pay attention to the key word, "Brother Li beheaded Huaxiong", which naturally made Yuan Shu angry: "The minister shang humble himself, measure a county to order his subordinates to be a pawn, An dare to show off his might here!" All with the exorcism of the tent! ”
Cao Cao could not let go of this opportunity, so he said the third sentence: "Those who have won meritorious service are rewarded, and they are noble and lowly!" ”
The reason why Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have the right to speak, in addition to strength, the most critical thing is the label of "Four Dynasties and Three Dukes". The reason why Cao Cao was so honest at first was because he was "after the eunuch", which is the so-called "noble and lowly"!
Fourth, the general analysis
That's why the author said: There is a mystery hidden in these three sentences of Cao Cao. On the surface, it was to support Guan Yu in battle, but in fact, there was an invisible battlefield within the Eighteenth Road Princes. By supporting Guan Yu in battle against Huaxiong, Cao Cao cleverly gained the right to speak, enhanced his influence, and invisibly weakened the influence of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
So what if Guan Yu loses? Look at Cao Cao's first sentence, "Try to teach the horse, if it is not victorious, it is not too late to blame"!
Why is the image of Cao Cao's adulterous male so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people? Through his strong support for Guan Yu to fight, it can be seen that Cao Cao can be exquisite on all sides inside and out and stand in an invincible position. The so-called beautiful words, but do private work, you also have to say "thank you" to him!
But then again, cao Cao's ability is not an indispensable means for those powerful people, or should have characteristics...
