In the spring season of the first year of Zhongping (184), everything was revived and full of vitality. In a picturesque garden with peach blossoms floating and flying, three like-minded young talents gathered together, burned incense and swore an oath, and made a solemn oath of "serving the country loyally and appeasing the people's livelihood". Since then, the three brothers have worked side by side to create a brilliant career together.
This beautiful and solemn Taoyuan Three Knots can be called the first classic in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Although the plot originates from the creation of the ** family, the emotions shown by the three protagonists - Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei beyond the friendship between monarchs and ministers and the friendship between life and death are real and touching scenes in history. Liu Bei is the heroic leader of the contemporary era, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are like his right-hand men. In the development process of the Shu Han regime from its inception to its peak, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei always followed Liu Bei and gave him strong support and encouragement. Guan Yu, as a well-known Chinese god of war, naturally does not need to be repeated, but in this period of history, what kind of outstanding achievements does Zhang Fei have?
Zhang Fei, whose name is Yide, is from Zhuo County, Youzhou, with Liu Bei. In his early years, Zhang Fei was a hot-blooded young man in his twenties, and he met Guan Yu who was wandering in the rivers and lakes by chance. After getting to know each other, it was found that Guan and Zhang both had lofty aspirations to revive the Han dynasty and stabilize the world. Therefore, they joined hands to join the rebel army led by Liu Bei and embarked on the journey of the Three Kingdoms full of legends and changes.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, like an excellent combination in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, have always walked hand in hand and attracted attention. Although their power was not the most powerful among the heroes of the time, the friendship and perseverance of the three of them who spent time together, fought side by side, and were committed to the pursuit of the great good of the world. Liu Bei, as the eldest brother, is the core of the trio, and he is committed to illuminating a righteous path for the two younger brothers in the chaotic era; Zhang Fei and Guan Yu followed their eldest brother loyally and without regrets, not only as generals on the battlefield, but also as Liu Bei's personal guards, shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding Liu Bei's safety. They are like two solid barriers, which together support Liu Bei's career and dreams.
Although we can't say for sure whether Liu Guan and Zhang held a wedding ceremony, it is clear in the history books that Zhang Fei respected Guan Yu as his own brother given how many years older Guan Yu was. Regarding the friendship between the three, historians depict it with "Enruo brothers". Zhang Fei, as the third brother, was at the time of youth and dreams, and was fortunate to meet the master and the virtuous brother, thus opening a happy life of prancing horses and smiling proudly.
Undoubtedly, the journey of entrepreneurship is full of hardships and challenges. In the more than ten years that Liu Bei started his business, the team he led was short of talents, weak troops, often suffered defeats, and had no stable foundation. During this period, Zhang Fei resolutely followed Liu Bei into the battlefield, bravely confronted Yuan Shao, fought hard against the Yellow Turban Army, and firmly confronted Yuan Shu. Despite the difficult situation, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have always been loyal, sticking to Liu Bei's side, helping him turn danger into disaster and being reborn repeatedly.
In battle after battle, the three of them showed their true strength that should not be underestimated, and even impressed the leaders and celebrities of the enemy. When Liu Bei took refuge in Cao Cao, Cao Cao once said: "The only heroes in the world today are you and me." His advisor Cheng Yu also mentioned that Liu Bei is famous, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have unstoppable bravery. Guo Jia further believes that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not only ten thousand enemies, but their loyalty to Liu Bei to the death must not be ignored. During the Sun-Liu Alliance, Zhou Yu was also convinced that Liu Bei was a heroic hero, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were mighty generals of the bear and tiger, and they would definitely not live under the people for a long time in the future.
In the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, there is a lack of records about Zhang Fei's early military exploits, but the beginning of the chapter depicts Zhang Fei's heroic repulsion of Cao's army, which makes his appearance shine. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), Cao Cao mobilized 5,000 elite tiger and leopard cavalry to pursue Liu Bei, because Liu Bei crossed the river with the people, the speed of the march was limited, and he was caught up by Cao Cao's elite cavalry in only one day and one night. At this critical juncture, Zhao Yun, one of the five tiger generals, stepped forward and bravely saved the lord, and at the same time, Zhang Fei also made immortal military exploits and wrote history.
At the most critical juncture, Liu Bei failed to leave with his wife and children in time, and only took Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and dozens of others to flee in a hurry. When they arrived at Dangyang Changban Slope, Liu Bei and the others continued to move forward, while Zhao Yun did not know when he would turn back alone and go back to save the young master. Zhang Fei led twenty cavalrymen and was responsible for breaking the rear. The history books describe this scene concisely and vividly: "Flying according to the broken bridge in the water, he declared: 'I am Zhang Yide, and those who have the courage can come to fight for life and death!'" None of the enemy dared to approach, so they were able to escape. ”
Zhang Fei stood at the head of the bridge, facing Cao Jun on the opposite bank, like a husband and wife, firmly guarding the only passage across the river. His eyes widened, his spear pointed to his chest, and he shouted passionately: "I am Zhang Yide, who dares to fight me to the death?" It was this earth-shattering roar that made the tiger and leopard soldiers fearful, and no one dared to step forward to challenge, thus ensuring Liu Bei's safe evacuation. Ordering 5,000 soldiers and horses to retreat with 20 men is undoubtedly a classic example in the history of warfare in which fewer victories are more.
When it comes to the image of Zhang Fei, people generally recall "the leopard's head and eyes, the swallow's jaw and the tiger's whiskers", which is undoubtedly derived from the profound recreation of folk literature. However, through the scene of Zhang Fei's roar to repel Cao Jun, it is not difficult for us to imagine his majestic and brave appearance, as majestic as a tiger and leopard, and as agile as an eagle swallow. In the field of traditional martial arts, one of the 72 stunts of the Shaolin Temple is called "Lion Roar Gong", which can make the practitioner make a passionate sound that spreads for miles away, so that the listener is heartbroken and defeated. What is curious is whether Zhang Fei's roar and the lion's roar in Buddhism are the same and similar?
Generally speaking, Zhang Fei's image gives the impression of being brave and reckless, but this incident reveals the coexistence of roughness and delicacy in his character, and the intrigue in martial bravery. With his excellent martial arts, he stuck to important places and skillfully used the natural river water to confront the enemy. Zhang Fei knew the psychology of people very well, and with the help of the name of ten thousand enemies, he challenged the enemy army. His virtuosity is spread through roaring sounds, both to demonstrate his prowess and to create a momentum that can deter the enemy. In Cao Jun's eyes, this giant's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and there is no chance of winning alone; And his high morale makes people wonder if there are many ambushes hidden behind it? Therefore, when Cao Jun was suspicious, he was already cowardly, and finally did not dare to challenge Zhang Fei.
The ancients cherished words like gold, providing a broad space for secondary creation for the first home. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", this description of Zhang Fei is more vivid. tells the story of Zhao Yun's seven in and seven out to rescue Adou, and rushed to Changban Slope exhausted, and happened to meet Zhang Fei who was answering here. Soon after Zhao Yun left, Cao Cao's army instantly pursued, and the leaders included Cao Ren, Li Dian, Xiahou Dun, Le Jin, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xu Chu and other generals. Zhang Fei saw a Qingluo umbrella cover behind him, and judged that it should be Cao Cao's presence in person, so he deliberately set up a suspicious array.
The language in the initial text is more intense, and the following is a rigorous and steady revision of it: he first let out a thunderous roar: "I am Zhang Yide, a Yanren!" Who dares to fight me to the death? When Cao Jun heard this, he was all frightened; Cao Cao also hurriedly removed the umbrella cover. Zhang Fei then shouted: "Yanren Zhang Yide is here!" Who would dare to fight to the death? Cao Cao saw that he was brave and fearless, so he retreated.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fei let out a third roar: "Fight and not fight, retreat and not retreat, what is the reason!" Before the shouts fell, one of the generals beside Cao Cao was so frightened that he fell from his horse and died. Cao Jun instantly lost his fighting spirit and fled one after another. For a time, there were countless people who discarded ** and helmets, the crowd was surging like a tide, the war horses were galloping like a landslide, and the army trampled on each other in a panic, ** was heavy. As said: "The head of the Nagasaka bridge is murderous, and the horizontal gun immediately opens his eyes." A roar was like thunder, and it alone caused Cao's millions of soldiers and horses to retreat. ”
According to historical records, after the Battle of Changbanpo, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei participated in major battles such as the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Jingzhou, helping Liu Bei control most of the Jingzhou region. Subsequently, Liu Bei followed Zhuge Liang's strategy and sought Yizhou again in the seventeenth year of Jian'an (212), leaving four of his most trusted generals to protect Jingzhou, namely Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei. During the defense of Jingzhou, Eastern Wu sent envoys to welcome back Madame Sun, and Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun jointly deployed troops to intercept the river, and successfully recaptured the young lord Adou who was carried by Madame Sun at a critical moment. This is another great achievement of Zhang Fei's loyal protector.
In the following year, the relationship between Liu Bei and Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang deteriorated, at this time the military advisor Pang Tong died unexpectedly, and Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, and Zhao Yun were ordered to lead troops into Shu to support. Zhang Fei's troops were like a bamboo all the way to Jiangzhou, but they encountered Yan Yan, a defender who resisted stubbornly. After all, this small city could not resist the heroic Zhang Fei, and was quickly captured, and Yan Yan was also captured alive under Zhang Fei's tent. Zhang Fei was short-tempered in the face of Yan Yan who refused to surrender, and asked directly: "My army is pressing, why don't you land quickly, and dare to resist stubbornly?" Yan Yan responded proudly: "You invaded our county first, and the people of Yizhou can only sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and there has never been a case of surrendering generals!" When Zhang Fei heard this, he was furious and ordered Yan Yan to be pushed out and beheaded. However, when Yan Yan was dying, his face was calm, and he said indifferently: "Since you have decided to behead, why be so angry? ”
This response calmed Zhang Fei's mind. Although he has a reckless personality, he respects those heroes who are righteous and awe-inspiring and fearless of life and death. Yan Yan, as an enemy general, knew that there was a heroic Zhang Fei in front of him, but he still stuck to the city, brave and fearless. This spirit of knowing what he can't do makes Zhang Fei deeply admired. So, Zhang Fei took back his life and treated Yan Yan as a VIP with great courtesy.
At the beginning, Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei to enter Shudi, and Yan Yan regretfully took the case: "This move is like a person alone in a deep mountain with no way out, releasing a tiger to defend himself." Although Yan Yan was not well-known among the Heroes of the Three Kingdoms, he had a unique insight into Liu Bei being the actual controller of Yizhou in troubled times. After the city was lost, he received Zhang Fei's forgiveness and courtesy, and turned from worry to convincing. Therefore, he no longer stuck to his original intention, and was willing to become Zhang Fei's staff, providing him with strategic planning, and contributing to the foundation of Shu Han with a detached attitude.
In view of the wide spread of the deeds of Yishi Yan Yan in Shu, Zhang Fei successfully conquered all the places he wanted in the process of continuing to march, and finally joined forces with Liu Bei in Chengdu. After the situation in Yizhou stabilized, Liu Bei rewarded according to his merits, and Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, and Guan Yu won the highest level of reward, which fully demonstrated Zhang Fei's outstanding exploits in this reinforcement journey and was of great significance to winning the battle of Yizhou.
Soon after, Cao Cao in the north led his army south and successfully captured Hanzhong. Hanzhong served as a barrier to the north of Yizhou, and once it was lost, the entire Shu region would be under the threat of Cao's army. The ancients once said: "Hanzhong is the throat of Yizhou, which is related to life and death, if you lose Hanzhong, it means the loss of Shudi." Therefore, Cao Cao's attack deeply shocked the people of Shu and panicked every day. Subsequently, Cao Cao left Zhang He, Xiahou Yuan and other generals to guard Hanzhong, and at the same time ordered Zhang He to find an opportunity to invade Brazil County and migrate the Brazilian people to Hanzhong.
In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Zhang Fei, who served as the chief guard of Brazil, shouldered the responsibility of defending the place and quickly mobilized more than 10,000 elite troops to counterattack. He led his army to the Danqu area and fought with the enemy general Zhang He, and the two sides faced off for more than 50 days, winning and losing each other, and the battle situation reached a stalemate. The turning point was Zhang Fei's decisive attack, which also ushered in a glorious battle in his life. During the dozens of days of the war, Zhang Fei responded to Zhang He's attack while secretly reconnoitering the terrain and looking for the narrow places of the steep mountain roads.
After determining the best combat route, Zhang Fei took the initiative to launch an offensive and guided Zhang He's army into a dangerous situation, so that his movement was blocked, and it was difficult to take care of each other. With his extraordinary courageous combat effectiveness, Zhang Fei quickly defeated Zhang He's main force. In the end, Zhang He could only abandon his horse and only led dozens of his subordinates to climb the cliff to escape, so that Pasir County could be peaceful. In the battle of Brazil, Zhang Fei showed excellent martial arts and strategy, which can be called "ten thousand enemies"; And this victory not only ensured the security of the entire territory of Brazil, but also laid the foundation for the subsequent victory in the war. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), the Battle of Hanzhong ended with the victory of Liu Bei's army, Liu Bei was promoted to the king of Hanzhong, and the Shu Han regime entered its heyday.
After a long time, Zhang Fei loyally accompanied Liu Bei, devoted himself to the southern and northern wars, and witnessed the hardships and glory of his entrepreneurial period. Although Zhang Fei's character is not flawless, and his military exploits are not the highest peak, his loyalty, bravery, and lifelong friendship with Liu Bei are beyond doubt. The three brothers, Liu, Guan and Zhang, created the most touching and profound stories of monarchs and brothers in the history of the Three Kingdoms, achieved Liu Bei's grand imperial cause, and also achieved the eternal fame of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
