"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the pinnacle of Chinese classics and is deeply loved by readers. However, in this grand production, Luo Guanzhong did not hesitate to fictionalize many characters in order to create a character image. This article will reveal the truth about five of the fictional generals, why is Pan Feng on the list?It's all below.
1. The true life experience of Pan Feng, the peerless god general.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Pan Feng appeared as a peerless god general, and he was good at using a big axe, and was a general under Jizhou Mu Han Fu. However, in historical records, Pan Feng is a fictional work of Luo Guanzhong. Han Fu once said: "I have General Pan Feng, who can behead Huaxiong." However, Pan Feng went to meet him, but was defeated and died in the confrontation with Hua Xiong. In the official history "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu is the real hero who killed Hua Xiong, but Pan Feng is nowhere to be found.
In the author's opinion, the reason why Luo Guanzhong fictionalized Pan Feng was actually to highlight Guan Yu's heroic courage in killing Huaxiong. This arrangement can highlight Guan Yu's mighty momentum and become one of the classics in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
2. Xing Daorong: The brave Lingling Taishou general.
Xing Daorong is a fictional character in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", a military general under Liu Du, the Taishou of Lingling, who is known as the courage of Wanfu for making a big axe. However, there is no trace of Xing Daorong in history. In 208 AD, Liu Bei and Sun Quan won the Battle of Chibi, and after Cao Cao was defeated and retreated, Liu Bei launched an offensive, and Liu Du, the Taishou of Lingling, had a fierce duel with Xing Daorong, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others.
In this battle, Xing Daorong fought fiercely with the brave generals under Liu Bei, and was finally captured by Zhao Yun. In order to highlight Zhao Yun's bravery, Luo Guanzhong made Xing Daorong a military general who had the courage of ten thousand people, but he was killed by Zhao Yun after the strategy was discovered.
3. The tragic fate of Cao Wei's general Han De.
Han De is a fictional character in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", as a general of Cao Wei to defend Xiliang, he participated in Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. In the second year of Taihe of Wei (228), Han De and Xiahou Nan resisted the attack of Shu Han and fought against Zhao Yun. Despite his advanced age, Zhao Yun still beheaded Han De and captured Han De's four sons.
Through the fictional character of Han De, Luo Guanzhong better showed the heroic image of Zhao Yun as old and strong, and rendered this battle into a tragic decisive battle.
Fourth, the loyalty and tragedy of the Kansai Han Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang is a fictional character in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", originally a member of the Yellow Turban Army, and later followed Guan Yu for thousands of miles to find his brother. The image is tall, black-faced and bearded, and he is loyal to Guan Yu. When Guan Yu launched the Battle of Xiangfan, Zhou Cang lost his life under the attack of Cao Cao and Sun Quan.
Hearing about Guan Yu's fall, Zhou Cang chose to kill himself and became part of Guan Yu's image as a guard. In the temples of Emperor Guan in various places, the image of Zhou Cang is enshrined together with Guan Ping (the son of Guan Yu), which adds a lot to Guan Yu's loyalty and tragedy.
5. Guansuo: A counterattack after the loss of Jingzhou.
The last fictional general is Guan Suo, Guan Yu's third son. In **, Guan Suo fled to Baojiazhuang to recuperate after the fall of Jingzhou and survived. Subsequently, Guan Suo returned to Shu Han and followed Zhuge Liang to the south to conquer Meng.
