Question 2: The Battle of Chibi in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms The Teenage Version of the Battle of Chibi ①

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao led his army southward, trying to capture Soochow in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhou Yu of Soochow sent his troops to station in Chibi, facing Cao Cao's troops across the river. Cao Cao's troops are on the north bank, and Zhou Yu's troops are on the south bank.

Cao Cao’s soldiers were all northerners and were not used to boats, but they had to take boats to cross the river. Cao Cao asked people to use iron ropes to connect the boats one by one and lay them with planks, just like the flat ground. He only waited for the soldiers to practice fighting on water before ordering them to cross the river.

Zhou Yu has a veteran named Huang Gai. He said to Zhou Yu: "Cao's army is 800,000, and our army is only 30,000. The difference is too far. It will not be good for us to stay in a stalemate with them for a long time. I see that their stern is connected to the bow, and the bow is connected to the stern, and the ship is connected. Together, if we attack with fire, they will not be able to escape even if they want to."

Zhou Yu said that attacking with fire is a good idea, but how to fight this battle requires a strategy. Huang Gai thought for a while and said he had a plan, so he told Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was very satisfied after hearing this and told him to just do it.

Huang Gai wrote a letter to Cao Cao, saying that Soochow had few soldiers and could not withstand an army of 800,000. Zhou Yu overestimated his ability and tried to hit an egg against a rock. How could he not fail? He was willing to leave Soochow and surrender to Cao Cao with his soldiers and food. Cao Cao was extremely happy when he received Huang Gai's letter.

On this day, the southeast wind was strong and the waves on the river were huge. Cao Cao was looking into the wind from the bow of the ship. Suddenly a soldier reported: "There are some faint sailing ships in the south of the Yangtze River, taking advantage of the southeast wind to sail towards the north bank." "Cao Cao took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a group of sailboats sailing straight towards the north bank. After a while, they arrived at the center of the river. The word "yellow" was clearly written on the big flag on the bow. Cao Cao smiled and said: "Huang Gai did not break his promise, and he came to surrender as expected."

Yes, it was Huang Gai's ship that took advantage of the southeast wind, one or twenty ships, all with curtains The boats were covered with no soldiers or food, but reeds, covered with fire, saltpeter, and sulfur. There were also several small boats tied behind the big ship.

Huang Gai's boat spread its sails to full height and moved as fast as an arrow off the string. Zhou Yu followed behind with his warships. Cao Cao only said that Huang Gai had surrendered, and he was very happy and unprepared.

Huang Gai’s ship was less than two miles away from Cao Cao’s fleet. Huang Gai asked the soldiers to light the twenty ships of reeds together. Everyone got on the boat, untied the mooring ropes, and let the twenty ships light the reeds. The fire ships took advantage of the southeast wind and rushed into Cao Cao's fleet. Cao Cao's warships were connected by iron ropes and could not be dispersed, and they all caught fire. The fire jumped up to the shore again, and the barracks on the shore also burned.

The fire burned the sky red, and thick smoke blocked the surface of the river, making it impossible to tell where the water was and where the shore was. The cries and shouts were mixed together, and countless Cao Cao's men and horses were burned to death and drowned.

Cao Cao fled to the north bank in a small boat. Suddenly he heard the sound of drums behind him, and Zhou Yu's soldiers were chasing him. Cao Cao saw that his soldiers had abandoned their helmets and armor, and had no intention of joining the battle, so he had to lead them to escape from Huarong Road.

Notes

①This article is adapted from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is China's first full-length historical novel. It was written at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. It was compiled by the writer Luo Guanzhong based on folk legends and rap stories, as well as historical materials such as "Three Kingdoms". The novel reflects the social turmoil in the late Han Dynasty and the contradictions and struggles among the feudal ruling groups after the formation of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu. The novel is written in simple classical Chinese. The plot is complex, with numerous characters and a grand structure.

Question 3: Youth version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a historical romance novel. China's first full-length retrospective historical novel, which mainly describes wars, can be roughly divided into Yellow Turban Romanticism and Transformed Realism. Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's Rebellion, heroes vying for the throne, the Three Kingdoms' tripartite confrontation, and the return of the Three Kingdoms to Jin. On the vast background, scenes of turbulent and majestic war scenes were staged, and more than a thousand characters were successfully portrayed, including Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and so on. The image is very popular, and the historical description of all parties is not treated in the narrative way of enemy or friend, which has had a profound impact on later generations.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" reflects rich historical content. The names of characters, geographical names, and main events are basically the same as those in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The character's character is also based on the fixed image left by "Three Kingdoms", and is re-developed, exaggerated, beautified, spoofed, vilified, etc. In fact, this is a formula for historical romance novels. Historical romance novels are a mixture of fiction and reality, a spoof of time travel; they take into account both the past and the present, satirizing the past and talking about the present; a story tells the story of two dynasties, and a character has the characteristics of both dynasties.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" uses this artistic method very well. On the one hand, it reflects the real history of the Three Kingdoms as much as possible and takes into account the readers' needs to understand the real history. On the other hand, there must be characters in the Ming Dynasty society who are similar to the Three Kingdoms. type of people, so I tried my best to conform to the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty society. According to the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty society, I exaggerated, beautified, spoofed, vilified, etc. to a certain extent to give readers some inspiration or guidance and care. Readers want to increase their knowledge and rulers want to consolidate their rule. From the creative routine of historical romance novels, we can know that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" not only more truly reflects the true appearance of the history of the Three Kingdoms, but also reflects many social contents of the Ming Dynasty.

The Three Kingdoms era was an era that was completely different from the Ming Dynasty. There were no brothels or casinos in the Three Kingdoms era. Both the official and the private sector followed Confucian culture, which promoted benevolence, righteousness, Tao, morality, etiquette, trustworthiness, and loyalty. , chastity, filial piety, honesty, truthfulness, kindness, and beauty are very simple and typical Han culture; while there were a large number of brothels and casinos in the Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty. Although Confucian culture was the official culture, Buddhist culture was in the hearts of the rulers It also has a great influence on all social strata. Exotic folk customs such as brothels and casinos have been developed for a long time. What the people actually pursue is a market culture that combines the characteristics of Chinese culture and the culture of the Western Regions. Pride, luxury, lewdness, loss, fakeness, The ideas of ugliness, evil, committing crimes, and robbery can be widely publicized among the people. The romantic style of Indian society and the romantic style of Buddhist literature also had long-term development in the societies of the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties. Romantic literature such as romance novels and historical romance novels has developed greatly. Officialdom and battlefields have also become game fields. Romanticism is popular. Yue Fei's encounter with unwarranted charges is a typical example. Compared with the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms era has huge differences in ruling ideology, officialdom, social ecology, and the state of the world and people's hearts. The contrast between ancient and modern times is strong, which can give full play to the artistic characteristics of time travel and spoof in historical romance novels, making the text more humorous and interesting, and the characters The image has more artistic tension and richer knowledge content. The Three Kingdoms era is most suitable for historical romance novels, so "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the first historical romance novel to be compiled into a book.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" pioneered historical romance novels and is an example of "using romantic imagination to "transform" historical facts." On the basis of the initial localization of Buddhist literature and art in Tang legends, it further Buddhist literature and art are applied to the field of historical novels. Since then, literati have followed suit, and most of China's thousands of years of history have been written into various historical novels, but the achievements have not surpassed "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Question 4: Youth txt version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms Written in vernacular, very good! !

Question 5: Highlights from the original text of the youth version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This section is about: In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the court was corrupt and incompetent, and the people complained repeatedly. The three Zhang Jiao brothers from Julu, Hebei Province took the opportunity to launch a massive Yellow Turban uprising. The imperial court had to post imperial lists to recruit troops. Some people couldn't help but sigh after reading the imperial list, another person blamed him, and later they talked about national affairs. It turned out that the one who sighed was named Liu Bei, a descendant of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Han Dynasty, and now made a living selling straw mats and sandals. The other one was named Zhang Fei, and he was a pig butcher. While the two were talking, a strong man passed by. After asking, he learned that the man's name was Guan Yu. He had killed a bully in his hometown a few years ago and was now wandering around. The three began to talk about national affairs, and finally decided to sworn brothers in Peach Country and serve the country. After reading a certain book, I had many feelings.

I believe everyone must know the story of the struggle for hegemony between Duke Wen of Jin and Duke Mu of Qin among the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. However, a thousand years later, during the "Five Barbarians Entering China" era, there was another more famous Qin-Jin event. "The Battle of Feishui".

Fu Jian, King of Qin, is a king with his own vision and magnanimity. It's a pity that he lost, and because he was a barbarian, he was ignored and smeared by the orthodox communist historians, which was very embarrassing. If we compare the Pre-Qin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time, we can find that the Qin State under Fu Jian's rule can be said to be full of vigor and vitality, comparable to the magnanimity and posture of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. However, due to the bizarre failure in the "Battle of Feishui", people said that the barbarians were scum.

Similarly, Cao Cao was called a "hero", which seemed to have a slightly derogatory meaning. Indeed, it was more of a trick.

And its southern expedition failed, and it was said to be very miserable. There are many such views in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Nowadays, some thoughtful people naturally regard Cao Cao as a bad guy after reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". I don't think Cao Cao is as useless as said in the novel, but in the book Almost all of the heroes in Shu are in Shu, and the book begins with Liu Bei. Readers naturally regard him as the protagonist. In addition, there are too many praises for Liu Bei's kindness, so of course they describe the war launched by Cao Cao as unkind. righteous aggression.

If you think about it carefully, Zhuge Kongming, the Marquis of Wu, went out to attack Wei several times. Wasn’t he also committing an invasion? He used the late emperor's order as an excuse to crusade against Cao Cao and regain the Central Plains, and he became a hero who loved his country and his people. Are the people of Wei not human beings? Is it possible that everyone in the Wei State can be punished? He may not want to start a war, but 1. Without leaving Qishan, development will be difficult. 2. How dare you disobey the late emperor's orders? Although Zhuge Liang is deified in the book, it cannot change history: Wolong and Fengchu can have both, but they cannot bring peace to the world.

I hope that everyone will not trust authority too much, and will not be deceived by those backward ideas. Sometimes it is time to rethink certain issues.

Question 6: Download the complete youth version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, urgently requested. . 5 points Download the original version. There are some changes in the youth version

Question 7: Looking for a youth version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a chronological classic novel that tells a series of stories from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the unification of the Jin Dynasty. The first thing I saw were popular poems like "The rolling waters of the Yangtze River flow eastward..." and then the main text was introduced. The first sentence goes like this: "Speaking of the general trend of the world, if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide." This sentence is not unreasonable. The Seven Kingdoms fought over the weekend and merged into Qin, and after Qin's destruction, Chu and Han fought against each other and merged into Han... There are hundreds of characters and countless military strategies in the book, and the author himself uses historical figures to , to explain the principles of loyalty, education, benevolence, righteousness, and love, which is deeply rooted in people's hearts. It writes about the incompetent Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang, the narrow-minded Zhou Yu, the long and thick Lu Su, the brave Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei, and the down-to-earth people who have been affected by the line. Jiang Qian, who laughs at the eternity, is always in an extreme state. These characters gave me a profound education. Although there are these characters, what impressed me most were the heroes described in this book. Let’s talk about Guan Yu first. This is one of the characters that impressed me the most. He surrendered to the Han Dynasty but not to Cao Cao, held the candle until the end of the day, rode thousands of miles alone, killed six generals in five passes, killed Caiyang in the ancient city, and later defended Cao Cao in Huarong. He was loyal to his old master. Because he was defeated and surrendered to the enemy, he made an appointment to join him thousands of miles away as soon as he knew the news about his old master. I think that even though the enemy surrendered, he still came back in the end. Not only is he still loyal, but he is also considered a rare and valuable kind of loyalty. The way to express Guan Yu in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also very simple: "Danfeng eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, face like heavy jujubes, blue dragon crescent moon knife", later added "red rabbit horse", and read "Spring and Autumn", scraping bones to treat poison without fear of pain , behead Yan Liang, punish Wen Chou, and become almost invincible in the world. What he did is worth learning from. During the period of feudal rule, loyal ministers were needed, and a loyal minister who could dedicate himself to death was needed. This was Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was well versed in astronomy and geography, capable of both literary and military skills, and was resourceful. He was also cautious and dedicated throughout his life. He borrowed the east wind, borrowed arrows from a straw boat, Zhou Yu with three qi, Huarong Dao with wisdom, cleverly arranged eight formations, scolded Wang Lang to death, used the empty city strategy, seven-star lanterns, used puppets to defeat Sima Yi, and killed Wei Yan with a kit. These are things that ordinary people can't think of. I originally thought that this kind of person should have extraordinary appearance, but the description in the book is very simple: eight feet in length, face like a crown jade, wearing a silk scarf on his head, and a crane cloak. What he did left a deep impression on future generations. Now let’s talk about Cao Cao. Cao Cao was called a traitor in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", probably because his son usurped the Han Dynasty. He said that Liu Bei and he were world-renowned heroes, which made Liu Bei dare not listen, but he did not kill Liu Bei, even though Liu Bei was his thorn in the urn. This made me feel Cao Cao's generosity, which Zhou Yu could not even dream of. Zhou Yu only has Zhuge Liang in his eyes. Instead of vowing to be incompatible with each other, as long as he kills Zhuge Liang, the world of Soochow will be peaceful. Later, he discovered that Liu Bei was not an ordinary person, so he wanted to kill Liu Bei, at least keep him in Soochow, and the world of Soochow would be peaceful. Short-sighted and narrow-minded, he is not a hero. This is also in sharp contrast to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was still a practical man. He once assassinated Dong Zhuo and summoned the princes to attack Dong Zhuo. These made me feel the greatness of Cao Cao. Overall, my eyes were opened after reading this book, and the above people also gave me deep feelings. They are worth learning from.
