"The Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away heroes ..." Mention this word, and people will think of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of Four Great Classical Novels's works.
This book continues the rise and fall of three dynasties: at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the government was corrupt and the Yellow Scarf Army rose everywhere. After years of fighting, Cao Cao, who suppressed the Yellow Scarf Army, gradually unified the north. Cao Cao sent his troops south again, ready to take the opportunity to unify the whole country. Battle of Red Cliffs and Cao Cao were defeated by Sun Quan and Liu Bei. Formed the trend of Wei, Shu and Wu. Soon, Sun Quan killed Liu Bei's righteous brother Guan Yu and took Jingzhou. In order to get revenge, Liu Bei led an army to attack Wu, and he was defeated. After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister, assisted Liu Chan in administering Shu. Zhuge Liang conquered the barbarians in the south and adopted the policy of uniting with Wu to resist Wei. He sent troops to Qishan to attack Wei six times and failed. Zhuge Liang finally died in the army. Soon, Sima mastered the regime of Wei, destroyed Shu and Wu successively, established the Western Jin Dynasty, and unified the whole country.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has also created many flesh-and-blood heroes, such as Guan Yu, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who are loyal and brave ... Among them, Zhuge Liang, who has both ability and political integrity, is what I admire most. Zhuge Liang is resourceful and a talented strategist. His great wisdom and courage are fully demonstrated by his "borrowing an arrow from a straw boat", "empty city stratagem" and "capturing Meng Huo seven times". He knows himself and himself, uses his troops boldly and decisively, and is good at discovering the enemy's weaknesses and taking him by surprise. He is also an outstanding politician and writer. He is said to be a politician because he is "in the middle of nowhere" and knows a little about the world, so that Liu Bei can have a foothold. His strategy of "uniting Wu to attack Wei" made Shu soldiers win successively. He used the policy of "appeasing people's livelihood" to make Shu stronger step by step. He said that he was an outstanding writer, because his "Example" moved people to tears and became a masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages.
Some people say that this novel focuses on Shu Han, but in the end, Shu Han played a white flag, which is not a powerful story. What's the art? We didn't see what we wanted to see, but this is a kind of "shredding art", and its tragic ending is more intriguing than the happy ending. Isn't it? The Romance of the Three Kingdoms tells us not to "lose big because of small". In the book, Liu Bei killed his second and third brothers in Dongwu, and led 750,000 troops to attack Dongwu. As a result, Lu Xun burned the camp and left none. That battle was related to the fate of Shu: 750,000 troops were killed in one breath. What a pity! Originally, Shu was rich in grain and grass, with many soldiers. There were five tigers in martial arts and "Wolong" and "Feng Chu" in literature, but it began to decline after the First World War.
Be flexible, which should prove the authenticity of the text "Mysteries in the Valley" that we have learned. Liu Bei lost more brothers for the death of his second brother and third brother, which is really not worth it. Be flexible and careful, or you will lose a lot.
