Talk about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms

1. The sworn relationship between Liu, Guan, and Zhang was too hasty. Liu Bei met Zhang Fei because of a long sigh. The two of them accidentally saw Guan Yu while drinking in a tavern. After a few words, they decided to marry Shang University. The meeting and Taoyuan became sworn brothers.

The three of them are not familiar with each other at all. They only know their names and can get together without knowing their background at all. Are the ancients too careless? What if they are cheated? ? Why don't you have any sense of self-prevention?

The practical benefits of the three people's sworn relationship are: Liu Bei has status (a clan member of the Han Dynasty), Zhang Fei has money (quite a lot of wealth), and Guan Yu has strength (nine feet tall). If three people form a team and go to war, they will have the reputation, the baggage, and the generals. Perhaps these three people finally came together after weighing their complementary strengths.

2. Dong Zhuo used Li Su as a lobbyist and used red rabbits and horses in exchange for Lu Bu's surrender. Lu Bu killed his adoptive father Ding Yuan and recognized Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father. To be honest, I really dare not recognize such a son. Was Dong Zhuo too confident and thought that Lu Bujuan would not dare to kill his adoptive father again? Later, Wang Yun offered Diaochan to Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. Dong Zhuo died under the halberd painted by Fang Tian, ??the adopted son. I think Red Rabbit Horse and Diao Chan are quite comparable. Although one is an animal and the other is human, they have both become bargaining chips for people to design traps. What does Diao Chan think of Red Rabbit Horse? What does Red Rabbit Horse think of Diao Chan? Even if the two can't cry together, I'm afraid they still know each other and feel sad. There is another most important question. I can't ask the red rabbit who can't speak human language who he loves, so I can only ask myself: Who did Diao Chan, who has long been sleeping underground, love?

3. I only read the first few chapters and found Cao Cao's descriptions to be particularly vivid. His design to deceive his father, his correct judgment of the situation, his assassination and his sacrifice of a knife, etc. were all very exciting. I think it's totally unreasonable for such a smart and cunning person to dominate the world.

Moreover, why did so many people vote for Cao Cao when he raised the "loyalty" flag? Uncle Liu Huang could not recruit more than 500 people at first, but Cao Cao, "in a few days, the people who applied for the job gathered like rain", and the number of people who contributed money and food was "countless". Is this what people call the people's hearts? .

4. After Yuan Shao was promoted as the leader of the alliance, the first important official position was awarded to his younger brother Yuan Shu. He said this: "My brother Yuan Shu is the governor of grain and grass. When it comes to the camp, there is no way. "Heroes in the world are not fools. It is obviously unfair to give such a restrained and important official position to his family, so once the alliance ends, I am afraid that he will be abandoned by everyone."

5. After Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong, the dialogue between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu in Yuan Shao's tent (evaluation of Liu, Guan, and Zhang) shows that Cao Cao has the talent to recognize people and the heart to tolerate them. And Yuan Shu is just a counterexample to Cao Cao. People like him stay in the tent and occupy a key position. It is really Yuan Shao's misuse of relatives, which is a big mistake. It can be seen that his alliance against Dong Zhuo was all for his own selfish interests. In fact, everyone had their own evil intentions. Cao Cao used cattle and wine to appease Liu Guan and Zhang, which was probably to win over people's hearts.

6. The Yellow Turban Party was besieging Kong Rong’s Beihai City. When Taishi Ci went out to ask for reinforcements, he was surrounded by hundreds of horsemen. There is a description like this: "Ci leaned on the gun, picked up the bow and arrows, and shot them from all directions. All of them fell down." I was wondering how many arrows Taishi Ci had brought. Isn't this a bit like the Hong Kong gunfight movies of the 1980s? , the bullets in the pistol are endless. Moreover, the physical fitness of our ancient people is obviously stronger than the high technology of today's people. Carrying a lot of heavy arrows, it is already amazing to shoot people from the front, and they can shoot from all directions quickly. So what kind of rotation speed is required? Moreover, the ancients could easily carry weapons weighing 80 or 100 kilograms and be invincible like a juggler. But even Olympic weightlifters struggle to lift more than 100 kilograms. It can be seen that the earth has indeed been polluted for a long time, and the human body is increasingly degraded. (89)

7. After Liu Bei saw Kong Rong’s messenger Tai Shi Ci, he “browed his face and replied: ‘Kong Beihai knows that there is Liu Bei in the world!’” I laughed when I saw this sentence. The hero Liu Bei is lonely and has not been cared about for a long time. Looking at his excited look, it is obvious that he is too lonely. I suddenly thought about how I felt when I was looking for a job. Although I was not a hero, my feeling of not being taken care of by the recruiting unit was somewhat similar to Uncle Liu Huang.

God! Give me a hole in Beihai! (89)

8. After Lu Bu captured Yanzhou, he forced Cao Cao to evacuate Xuzhou. Tao Qian repeatedly asked Liu Bei to be the governor of the state, even at the risk of death, but Bei refused. Tao Qian was probably afraid that Cao Cao would come again to exterminate the clan, so he wanted to give up his position, but why did he have to invite Liu Bei? Next to him was Kong Rong, who had great connections with the world and was even more famous. Wouldn't this embarrass Kong Rong? (93)

9. After Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he was arrested when passing through Zhongmu County and was later rescued by Chen Gong. When Chen Gong saw that Cao Cao had killed Lu Boshe's family out of suspicion, he then thought: "I will say that Cao Cao is a good man and abandon his official position to follow him; it turns out he is a wolf-hearted man!..." (37) Then he abandoned him and ran to Dongjun. But later he actually followed Lu Bu, a fool who was even more like a wolf and had no regard for justice. What did Chen Gong think? Logically speaking, he should not choose such a lord anymore. This goes against his principles as a human being. Could it be that due to bad luck, he had no choice but to join Wen Hou's family? (94)

10. Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao in Dingtao. He traveled everywhere without being taken in and ran to Xuzhou. Liu Bei took Lu Bu in despite everyone's objections. What did he think? Doesn't he know the truth about raising tigers? There are too many lessons learned from the past, why haven’t we learned a lesson? Or does he want to use Lu Bu to help him? Then this choice is too dangerous and not a smart decision. Liu Bei seems to want to use his image as a good old man who is generous and treats others to influence others and finally use him to gain power for himself. He seems to be loyal, but in fact he is quite careless and is a very clever and thoughtless person. In the end, I'm afraid it's a thankless effort and a loss of rice. (103)

At first, I didn’t understand why Liu Bei wanted to give Xuzhou’s seal to Lu Bu. It wasn’t until Chen Gong said: “‘Forcing the guest does not overpower the master’, please make sure you have no doubts.” You understand, Liu Bei is testing whether Lu Bu intends to seize the city, but Lu Bu "is waiting to take over". He is really too self-righteous. A defeated general, with a broken army and no capital, has the nerve to "take over". Why do you have the nerve to "take over"! This is an overconfident person who has no clear consideration of his own and others' strengths. It makes no sense for Lu Bu not to fail. Chen Gong is a sensible person, but he still doesn't understand why he followed Lu Bu. Is it true that he can only show his talent under such a foolhardy person? (104)

11. It is really pitiful to see Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty fleeing from Chang'an to Xudu in embarrassment after using various warlords as a last resort. I think he is a bit like Mr. Sun Yat-sen who had no soldiers during the Republic of China. Therefore, in the era of warlords' melee, it is the last word to have troops with self-respect and the ability to strategize. Later, it was unreasonable for the People's Liberation Army led by Chairman Mao to conquer the world.

12. Li Cui and Guo Si became enemies because of Emperor Xian's conspiracy, and they started fighting. Guo Si captured more than 60 court officials who came to make peace, and said: "Li urged to rob the emperor, but I can't rob the ministers!". This is really bastard logic. It has become a fight between children. If you snatch my wooden pistol, I have to snatch your clay monk to even the fight. There is really no general style. (106)

13. Lu Bu finally took Xuzhou, Liu Bei fled everywhere, and Yuan Shu urged Lu Bu to kill Liu Bei quickly. However, Chen Gong came up with this idea: "Shu rejects Shouchun. We have many soldiers and abundant supplies, so we cannot underestimate the enemy. Why don't we ask Xuande to return to Xiaopei and serve as my wing. He will make Xuande the vanguard one day, and then he will take Yuan Shu first. If you take Yuan Shao later, you can dominate the world. "Chen Gong really dared to make plans, and Liu Bei really could bear the hatred of seizing the city and surrendered to Xiaopei. I'm afraid Liu Bei is also planning to seize Xuzhou again. (124)

(I found that if I had been in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, I would definitely not be able to survive. The warlords all agreed with that sentence: "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests." They can always It is extremely easy to betray and form an alliance at any time. Everyone is just using each other. Regardless of new or old hatreds, as long as interests and needs exist, it is extremely simple to make peace; of course, once these foundations disappear, antagonism will also take place in the blink of an eye. And I don't know who to believe. There are always rebellions and spies everywhere, so I can completely understand Cao Cao's fickleness.

)

14. Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling and his army to destroy Liu Bei, and Lu Bu fired a halberd at the gate to relieve Liu Bei's siege. I started to wonder, why did Ji Ling follow Lu Bu's arrangements? He can pretend to obey, return to the tent, and try to attack again without any problem. Warlords are used to going back on their word, so why are they being nice now? And he can retreat his troops just by shooting arrows. Is this Lu Bu showing off his strength? Or does Ji Ling not want to lose troops and generals? But Yuan Shu's determination to kill Bei is extremely strong. Is there no need for Ji Ling to retreat?

15. After Zhang Fei seized Lu Bu's horse, Liu Bei fled to Xudu. Cao Cao said, "Xuande and I are brothers." When Cao Cao's father died in Xuzhou, Liu Bei sent troops to protect Xuzhou. In the end, it was won without any cost. Cao Cao always held a grudge and wanted to kill Liu Bei. Who would believe it if this is so close? It became too fast. Now Liu Bei's army was in a state of embarrassment and was being destroyed like a flip of a hand, but he took Liu Bei in in the name of attracting talents. It's really baffling. (141)

16. Cao Cao’s 170,000 troops surrounded Shouchun, but Sun Ce sent grain and grass, but it was still “not enough to disperse”. Cao Cao asked the warehouse manager Wang Jie to distribute small dendrobium leaves. The soldiers then complained, and Cao Cao "borrowed" Wang E's head, "and the grievances began to be resolved." I think this method is too stupid. If there is still no more food the next day, the soldiers will definitely know that Wang Jie is the scapegoat. Then how will Cao Cao explain? (151)

17. Liu Bei was forced by Lu Bu to flee to Xudu, and stayed at the home of the Orion Liu An. Liu An actually killed his wife in order to let Liu Bei eat "game"! When Liu Bei led the horse, he discovered that "a woman was killed under the kitchen, and all the flesh on her arms had been cut off."

I think Liu An is too unkind. If he wanted to flatter him, why didn't he cut himself off and kill his wife instead? It can be seen from this that he actually has no sincerity towards Liu Bei. I remember that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a monarch was on the run and there was no food on the road, so his ministers cut their own flesh and gave it to their master. This is true loyalty. Moreover, this man did not die after cutting the flesh, so why did Liu An kill his wife and then cut the flesh? It is obvious that this person is not mentally healthy. He just finds some excuse to commit murder to satisfy his violent tendencies. He is definitely not a kind person.

And Liu Bei's performance is also very interesting: "Xuande was so sad that he burst into tears and mounted his horse." What did he think of Liu An's behavior? Is he grateful to Liu An? Or pity his wife? It’s not made clear here, but it’s obviously hypocrisy to not take a clear stance when you see evil deeds. So I don't understand how Liu Bei has such high popularity.

Also, killing was too casual in the Han Dynasty. First of all, there was no legitimate reason for killing a wife. Are women so worthless in the late Han Dynasty? 163-164 If you don't listen to the general's plan, how can you not be weak?" Lu Bu's performance was "silent".

I think Lu Bu is a very romantic person, a bit like an impulsive child who can do many willful things for his own desires and his lover. Such a character may be cute, but it really can't make a big deal. And the generals must be right? Lu Bu has failed now, so they have the right to speak. It can be said that his failure was due to his preference for listening to his wives and concubines. Lu Bu's silence, is he regretting it? Or are you opposing their statement with silence? (169)

19. Chen Gong was finally caught by Cao Cao, and the two had this conversation:

Cao Cao said: "I'm fine, Gongtai!"

Gong said: "Your heart is not right, so I abandon you!"

Cao Cao said: "My heart is not right, how can I do anything for Lu Bu alone?"

Gong said: "Although Bu has no plans, he is not as cunning and treacherous as you."

Cao Cao said, "You said you were very resourceful, but what happened now?"

Lu Bu, the patron of the palace, said, "I hate this man. If you don't follow my words, you may not be captured.

"

Cao Cao said: "What should we do today? ”

The public shouted: “There is only death today!” "

I copied such a long paragraph, but I still don't understand why Chen Gong abandoned Cao Cao. Moreover, his accusations against Lu Bu were somewhat similar to that of the general Song Xian. If Lu Bu really listened to them, he would still If they fail, will they still clamor so confidently? Chen Gong's suggestion may not be the best choice, but if Lu Bu loses, he has the right to criticize. In fact, his character is too aloof. If I were Chen Gong, I would. I will try to figure out Lu Bu's character, and then make plans to make Lu Bu listen to my opinions. So in the final analysis, it is because he has no vision and is assisting the wrong person. If he really wants to show his ability, Even if you don't choose Cao Cao, you can choose Liu Bei or Sun Ce (169)

20. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty wrote a blood edict to contact his loyal relatives and wanted to kill Cao Cao. You can kill them at will. In these troubled times, Cao Cao is the overlord of one side. If he kills him, it will not only add to the chaos, but also the unity of Cao Cao's side will be broken. If he loses such a powerful figure, internal disputes will arise. Whose power did Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty rely on? So I really sympathized with this puppet emperor, as he could no longer control major affairs in the world. (176)

Later, the Yidai Edict failed, and it was also implicated that Emperor Xian was pregnant. Concubine Dong in May, Cao Cao could not even allow this woman to die after giving birth. Think about the point of being such an emperor! The situation is really over.

21. Liu Bei was killed. When Cao Cao was under house arrest in Xudu, he started farming in order to prevent Cao Cao from being assassinated. I think Liu Bei is so stupid. A hero who has fought in all directions suddenly gave up his ambition and became a farmer. Isn't this unreasonable? What about Tao Hui? But on the other hand, farming can also be seen as having an agenda; it is even more dangerous to be a human being! (180) >

22. I like what Cao Cao said when he was making wine and discussing heroes: "A hero is one who has great ambitions, has a good plan, has the opportunity to hide the universe, and can swallow the aspirations of heaven and earth." "(181)

23. When Guan and Zhang heard that Liu Bei had been invited by Cao Cao, they hurriedly ran to protect him with their swords in hand. If Cao Cao saw Guan and Zhang being so nervous, he would be suspicious of Liu Bei's intentions. If he wasn't rebellious, As for being so nervous? (182)

24. After Yuan Shu destroyed Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei asked Cao Cao to intercept the army he sent to Xuzhou. At that time, he thought like this: "I don't think so. Just find a way to escape now, when will you wait? ”

It can be seen from this that the emperor’s uncle did not want to preserve the Han Dynasty of Emperor Xian. What he really wanted was the world, otherwise he would not have escaped in such a hurry. At this time, he completely forgot to see the belt edict. Did he ever think that once he left, Emperor Xian's plan to kill Cao would be further out of reach? And wouldn't Emperor Xian be more dangerous without his protection? (183)

The imperial edict failed, and the implication was widespread. Cao Cao killed all the relevant people who could be caught. I thought that the death of these people really showed Liu Bei's shrewdness. (206)

Me. He knows the outcome of the Three Kingdoms, so he has such a question. But why is the author so partial to Liu Bei?

25. The author writes a lot about Mi Heng, who arrogantly insulted Cao Cao and him. When the subordinates were punishing him to become a drummer, there was this wonderful passage:

He shouted: "Why don't you change your clothes!" Heng took off his old tattered clothes in front of his face and stood naked, completely exposed. All the guests covered their faces. Heng Nai slowly put on his trousers, but the color did not change. Cao Cao scolded: "Why is it so rude in the temple?" "

Heng said: "It is rude to deceive the emperor and ignore the superior. I reveal the form of my parents to show my innocence! ”

It turns out that naked protest existed as early as nearly 2,000 years ago in the late Han Dynasty. It is really interesting. Therefore, ancient Chinese people dared to express their dissatisfaction through actions than modern people, and the Chinese This good tradition has now been carried forward by Westerners.

After Mi Heng collided with Huang Zu, he beheaded him. I feel that Miheng is a very arrogant person. Why can't he see the advantages in others? Such a arrogant person is really asking for his own destruction. The saddest thing is that his talent has no chance to be displayed and has not been used by anyone. So does he have talent? It's also a questionable question.

Cao Cao's final evaluation of him was really pertinent, kind, and to the point, "A rotten scholar will kill himself if he speaks with a sword!" (199-202)

26. Doctor Jiping knows In order to show his loyalty to his uncle Dong Cheng, he "bited off one finger as an oath". It seems that the way the ancients showed their loyalty was to harm themselves or their loved ones' bodies or even their lives. There are really too many examples of this (Zhao's orphan is a particularly obvious example). I think it's quite barbaric.

Ji Ping decided to poison Cao Cao. After the informant exposed him, he was tortured by Cao Cao to extract a confession. He was beaten for four hours. "The flesh was split open and blood flowed all over the floor." "There is no place for torture on his body." "Nine of his fingers were amputated" and finally Ji Ping "died by hitting the steps", Cao Cao "ordered to divide his body and give orders".

What a tragedy! Too bad! This is almost becoming a horror movie. When I see this, I think of the clips from "Skin Love". I think if these descriptions were made into a horror movie, the visual effects would be shocking. 203-205 >

I think Liu Bei's friendship with these two brothers is worthy of scrutiny.

But from Guan Yu's point of view, perhaps when he was fleeing poverty, it was Liu Bei who "I only pity the talented man" and made friends with him and regarded him as a brother, so he attracted a man like this. 's loyalty is unwavering. The so-called kindness of a drop of water is repaid with a spring of water. I'm afraid this is the meaning of love between passionate men. (213)

However, Guan Yu was really cruel to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao gave him a red rabbit horse, he was "happy and worshiped again" and said: "I know that this horse can travel a thousand miles in a day, so I am lucky to get it." , If you know the whereabouts of your brother, you can meet him in one day. "Isn't this too hurtful? (215)

28. Did Guan Gong love beauty too much, especially his beard? Cao Cao asked him how many beards he had. He himself said this: "About hundreds. Every autumn month About three or five of them were removed. Dongyue wrapped them in soap gauze to prevent them from breaking."

It seems a bit feminine for a man to care so much about his beautiful beard. But this is the true nature of a hero. I love beauty and there is nothing to be ashamed of! I just love beauty! I am so beautiful that I feel confident! I have such a beautiful beard and you don’t have it yet. Thinking about it again, only such a heroic figure would be justified in saying such a thing. Because those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters.

And it seems that the ancients also had an attitude of admiration and envy for other people's beautiful beards. Because no one criticized the bearded man because of his beard. (215)

29. After Guan Yu sealed the gold with a seal, he passed five levels and killed six generals. Whenever he goes to a pass, he always introduces himself as "Guan Mou, Hou Ting of the Han Dynasty". Since he already had his seal, why didn't he forget to mention his title? Let me guess with a villain's heart, is he a little vain? (232)

30. When Guan Yu finally arrived at Yuan Shao’s territory, he saw two groups of Cao Cao’s men running up to deliver customs clearance documents to him. Now that the level has been passed, is this too much of an afterthought? There's really no sincerity, it's so dishonest. (234)

31. After Sun Ce died, his younger brother Sun Quan took over the power. The book describes his appearance like this: "Sun Quan was born with a square mouth, blue eyes and purple beard."

Is Sun Quan a mixed race? So who did his father give birth to him from? At that time, transportation was not developed yet, and Soochow was quite far from Europe. This was really an interesting question.

(248)

32. The biggest question is, after Baimen Tower, Lu Bu also died, so where did Sister Diao Chan go?

33. Yuan Shao disobeyed, Xu You angrily defected to Cao Cao and offered his advice. Not only did he win the battle of Guandu, but he also captured Yizhou in one fell swoop.

Then Xu You made two wild remarks:

1. "But it was said that Cao Cao led the generals into Yizhou City. When they were about to enter the city gate, Xu You rode his horse forward and pointed at the city gate with his whip. Hu Cao said: "Ah, you can't let me have such a door?" Cao Cao laughed. "(278)

2. "One day, Xu Chu. He walked into the east gate and was greeted by Xu You. You called Chu and said, "How can you enter this gate without me?" Chu said angrily, "We died thousands of times and fought bloody battles. How can you win the city?" How dare you boast!" You scolded: "You are all just men, what's the point?" (279)

Xu You is not stupid, why did he say such arrogant words twice? Could it be that because Yuan Shao didn't adopt his opinion, he was eager to prove his ability through subsequent achievements? But it doesn’t have to be so obvious. In the end, he was killed by Xu Chu, which was really his own fault.

34. Cai Mao planned to kill Liu Bei and planned to meet all the officials in Xiangyang. When Liu Bei was asked to preside over the meeting, Zhang Fei said this: "There is no good meeting without a good feast." He was very far-sighted. He gave the bureaucracy a ring so early.

I took a closer look, and it turns out that this sentence is a single quotation mark within a double quotation mark, that is, Zhang Fei quoted someone else's words. I wonder who said this sentence first? (291)

35. After Liu Bei captured Fancheng according to Xu Shu's plan, he adopted Liu Feng (originally named Kou Feng, later named Bei), the nephew of the county magistrate Liu Bi. "Guan Yu said: 'Since my brother has a son, why use a moth? There will be chaos in the future.' Xuande said: 'I treat him like a son, he will serve me as my father, why should there be chaos!' Yun Chang was not happy."

My question is why is Guan Yu unhappy because of such a trivial matter? Are there any other articles later? (303)

36. I haven’t watched a few episodes of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The most unforgettable part is the part where Xu Shu recommended Zhuge on the spur of the moment. Now it seems that he has stayed under Liu Bei’s account for so long. , didn’t tell him until late, but waited until he was forced to leave before telling him the whereabouts of Wolong. Sigh... No matter how smart a person is, he still has selfish motives, and this person's possessiveness is quite strong. (307)

37. Mr. Kong Ming’s lovely boy. There are two interesting descriptions about him.

1. "Xuande came to the village, dismounted his horse and knocked on the firewood gate in person. A boy came out and asked. Xuande said: 'General Han Zuo, Marquis Ting of Yicheng, leader of Yuzhou, and emperor's uncle Liu Bei, specially Come to see Mr. "The boy said: 'I can't remember many names.' Xuande said: 'You just said Liu Bei came to visit.'"

The boy has character!

But Liu Bei is indeed disgusting. He is really capable. Even if he doesn't read so many titles, others will still recognize him. This reminds me of the way Guo Fu often introduces herself: Who is my grandfather, who is my father, who is my mother... After listening for a long time, everyone still didn’t know who she was; there is another example: Hong Huang, who is now very famous, is here When she saw a psychiatrist in the United States, the doctor asked her who she was, and she introduced herself like this: Who is my grandfather, who is my mother, who is my stepfather, and who is my husband? Many attributive words are added to show the status of the above-mentioned characters.

Isn’t it interesting to put three examples together? Maybe my idea is a little biased, but I don't think these people have much confidence. (310)

2. When Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times, he finally learned the lesson: "Thank you, the fairy boy, for reporting that Liu Bei came to see you." Watch out for Fairy Boy, he's a real sucker. (316)

38. When Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage for the second time, he saw his younger brother Zhuge Jun and said: "...I came here in the snow and wind today..."

I particularly hate this. This tone is like what many news media say: a certain leader (reporter, police...) braved the wind, snow, severe cold, scorching heat, and danger to inspect, express condolences, and care for everyone. I think this is all the work of these people, and since you got the money, you should do it well.

You should consider the various situations you will encounter in response to work requirements, and if you do it according to the work requirements, you have done your duty, and there is nothing to emphasize. Special emphasis on the hardship of the environment is to express without any trace how hardworking, dedicated, and leading one is... which is quite hypocritical. They should all learn like the doctor in The Plague. (313)

39. Chapter 38, Mr. Zhuge Kongming is out! When I first got the book, I was flipping through the table of contents. I didn’t expect that such a key character would appear in only one-third of the book! Finally, I found out that my husband was only thirty-nine years old when he was young, and he assisted Liu Bei to win three parts of the world when he was nearly forty years old. A true hero must endure loneliness, but some people have already "died" at such an age... sighing... (317-319)

40. Mr. Kong Ming would rather be at home I don’t want to join the world even if I stay here. Liu Bei cried again: "If you don't come out, sir, how can you be like the common people!" He couldn't bear the tone of expressing his position on behalf of the world. What qualifications did Liu Bei have to represent the common people? Besides, no one can survive without the common people. This flattery is beyond level.

Or in other words: I, Uncle Liu Huang, am the great savior of the people. I can represent the people. If you don't come out, you will be like Liu Bei!". He just couldn't get along with me, and it seemed like a threat. (319)

Not long after, Liu Bei was forced by Cao Cao to go to Jiangling. After passing by Jingshan, he saw that few of his followers were scattered, and he cried again: "A hundred thousand creatures all suffered this disaster because of their love for me. ..." It's simply too shameless. (344)

Every time the Shu army attacks, they must consider the problem of food transportation. Zhuge Liang went out to Qishan six times, and Jiang Wei went out several times, but in most cases they were exhausted by food and grass. So I wonder if Zhuge Liang considered the "difficulty of the road to Shu" when he divided the world. It was not only a major problem for the enemy, but also for himself. Shu gives people the impression that it is suitable for a small and peaceful court, where it is difficult to come in and easy to leave. Therefore, it is more difficult for the Shu army to transport troops out every time. When I took the train to Chongqing, I felt like I kept passing through mountain tunnels. This was still the case with modern transportation. Just imagine that it was not easy for the ancients to pass through.

In this way, I always feel that there is something wrong with Zhuge Liang's initial plan. It may be that the situation in the world at that time was that the Central Plains belonged to Cao Cao and Jiangdong belonged to Sun Quan. I am afraid that only Shu was left and could have plans. Zhuge Liang also had no choice but to do so.

Now I think that Zhuge Liang attaches great importance to Jingzhou: Imagine if Pang Tong had not died early, Zhuge Liang had to go to Sichuan to help Liu Bei, leaving Jingzhou and Guan Yu to take care of him; Soldiers and horses; Just imagine if Shu had not lost Jingzhou, then Jingzhou could be regarded as a springboard into the Central Plains and Soochow, so the problem of food routes would no longer be a problem.

As I thought about it, I suddenly felt that one of my views had changed. I used to think that if you failed at something, it was because you didn't work hard enough; but the lesson "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" taught me is that even if you work hard, you will still fail because luck is not on your side. "Luck always comes to those who are prepared." "Always" does not mean completely, completely, or exhaustively, and it contains certain elements.

2. The further I read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the more unreal it becomes. It feels like both a martial arts novel and a fantasy novel, with a touch of legend, but it doesn't look like a historical novel. In the end, except for major historical events, I no longer read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as history.

In terms of martial arts novels: For example, the battle between generals is very similar to the fights in martial arts novels. Although it is not as exciting as martial arts novels, it feels a bit rudimentary. Especially when the author was writing, he seemed to rarely talk about the role of soldiers in the war. It seemed that the victory of the war mainly depended on whether the generals won. The description of the big scenes of the war was not very exciting. Even the loyalty of Jianghu, which is the soul of martial arts novels, can be found in the Three Kingdoms, such as Guan Yu's loyalty to Liu Bei, Zhang Liao's loyalty to Cao Cao...

In terms of supernatural novels: such as Zuo Ci, Guan Characters such as Chrom are already considered gods, and there are also some short stories about gods and monsters.

Coincidentally, after watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I started to read "The Story of the Gods". I was particularly surprised to find that many of the stories about gods and monsters in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" came from "The Story of the Gods."

3. For me, the most attractive part of this book is the last sentence of each chapter: "If you want to know what happened next time, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter." This is following the storyteller's storytelling routine, deliberately I'll let you know the key points to make sure you come back and listen to it next time. Although sometimes this important point is not necessarily that important, the author's writing style is very gripping, attracting me to continue reading. Many times, it is no big deal to turn the page, but it makes me want to stop. One night, I kept yawning until dawn.

I went to the bookstore and read "Three Kingdoms". It was written based on the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" interweaves the history of the Three Kingdoms and arranges it in chronological order, so I really admire the author's ability to organize the material. At the end of the Han Dynasty, all the heroes came together. With so many details, which one is more appropriate to start with? How to arrange the position of the main and subplots, because there are many things happening at the same time. Which one is more suitable to explain Wei, Shu and Wu first? What materials can be discarded? What needs to be explained? These are daunting questions when you think about it. Although the story of the Three Kingdoms has been circulating for many years and has a main line that everyone is accustomed to, it is really amazing to compile 120 chapters of a systematic and well-organized novel.
