Riding and cutting down the imperial bandits of the Three Kingdoms In the third volume, there will be more celebrities from the Three Kingdoms, so let’s talk about it first
In the third volume, there will be more celebrities from the Three Kingdoms, so let’s talk about it first
This book is mainly based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, supplemented by official history. Sometimes, in order to advance the plot, "historical deviations" will be used to round out the logic.
For example, Guo Jia, in the official history, joined Cao Cao in the first year of Jian'an, but in the novel, it should actually be in 194, when Liu Bei surrendered Xuzhou and Lu Bu attacked Puyang (Xi Zhicai seems to have not appeared at all, maybe Luo Dada)
The two were combined into one for story reasons)
The Chinese people's attitude towards historical figures on the Internet is generally polarized. They either praise them to death or criticize them to death. However, I can say hello in advance. Before I wrote this book, my favorite figure from the Three Kingdoms was Zhou Yu.
After writing this book, I read a lot of historical materials about the Three Kingdoms, including the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which I had not finished reading before. In the past five months, I have read it almost seven or eight times. Sweat...
To be honest, my affection for Liu Bei is about to skyrocket now
So I will not deliberately praise the third Three Kingdoms figure besides Liu Bei and Zhou Yu.
However, Guo Jia is not as harshly criticized by netizens a long time ago, nor is he criticized as badly by netizens now. One thing can be said, he is indeed a top strategist.
During the third surrender of Xuzhou, Guo Jia heard that Lu Bu had attacked Yanzhou and immediately suggested that Cao Cao sell a favor to Liu Bei and retreat quickly. This was a very important strategic decision and it can be said that it saved Cao Cao's life.
When the army was defeated in Puyang, Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao's beard and hair were burned and suggested that he could use this trick. Cao Cao then faked his death and defeated Lu Bu. This was also very important. It reversed the balance of power between Cao Cao and Lu during Cao Cao's most difficult time.
When Cao Cao had Yuan Shao in the north and Lü Bu in the east, he was hesitant. He put forward the theory of ten wins and ten defeats, advocating that he should concentrate all his efforts to destroy Lü first, which ended up costing Lü Bu his life. (This incident comes from "Fu Zi") When Lü Bu was trapped in Xiapi,
Offer a plan to flood Xiapi (in the official history, this plan is mainly based on Xun You, Guo Jia seconded it, but in the novel, even Xun You's name does not appear, and it is changed to Xun Yu seconding it),
Plan to break out of the city and pacify Xuzhou. (The official history is true, but it is exaggerated)
It was suggested not to let Liu Bei go but failed, and then he said that Yuan Shao had too many plans and too few plans to worry about, and should concentrate all his efforts on attacking Xuzhou. This is very critical, and can even be said to be the turning point of the whole book. (This incident comes from "Fu Zi")
He said that Sun Ce would die at the hands of villains if he was unprepared, so Cao Cao was assured of a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and also made Cao Cao avoid multi-front battles.
(Official history is true)
It was suggested that Cao Cao delay the attack on Jizhou until the Yuan clan started to fight internally. As expected, the two Yuan clans killed each other and made a key contribution to the pacification of Hebei.
(Official history is true)
The remaining plan is to pacify Liaodong. (Romance plus drama)
Guo Jia is the type of counselor who is very accurate in judging people and is good at changing people. Unlike Xun Yu, if he had not died early, Chibi Cao Cao would not necessarily lose. From his perspective, counter-intuitive schemes and false surrenders would most likely not be hidden.
