The history of the Three Kingdoms period has left many stories worth savoring, among which the Taoyuan Three Knots have been passed down to this day and are known as classics in the works.
Brothers can stick knives in each other's ribs, this is the so-called heroic heroes, showing their heroic nature. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have experienced countless difficult times together, but they have also experienced their own moments.
Between 220 and 223 AD, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei passed away one after another. When Liu Bei heard that the two brothers were leaving one after another, his reaction was unexpected. After Guan Yu left, Liu Bei cried bitterly, and not long after, Zhang Fei was brutally killed by his own men, but Liu Bei only said 4 words. What is it that surprises the world so much?
Liu Bei's legendary experience.
Liu Bei is a well-known figure in history, from the white-haired old man to the three-year-old child, almost no one does not know. We have heard countless legends about Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was born into a declining Han dynasty royal family and was a descendant of Liu Sheng, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. In the society at that time, due to the large number of talents, many people were scrambling to get a right for themselves, if a person only has a generous heart, he must not be able to make a big difference.
At that time, Liu Bei was not a philanthropic monarch, his background was humble, and he had no strong backers behind him. For Liu Bei, in order to be successful, he must put in a thousand times more effort than others, and in the process, he must go through intrigue to succeed.
Liu Bei in the early years, once defected to the princes' family, some people think that his behavior is not reasonable, Liu Bei does not care about other people's opinions, he feels that the princes are more interested than affectionate. I can only think about my future and safety first, and I don't care too much about the opinions of the people around me.
On the contrary, Liu Bei is not a real hypocrite in the secular sense. During his reign, he did not indulge too much in the money and power he had acquired, but did his best to change the lives of the people, so that they could live and work in peace and contentment, and there would never be a situation where they would not have enough to eat.
During his reign, he was hungry for talent, recruiting learned people all over the country to help him with advice. As a king, he can put down his face, humbly ask for advice, and use his sincerity to impress talented people to serve him, which is what distinguishes him from others as a monarch.
With Liu Bei's rule step by step during his reign, the lives of the people have been greatly improved, and he has successfully won the support and love of the people, which is enough to see that Liu Bei was a generation of Ming monarchs at that time. In the days that followed, even though Liu Bei was in trouble, he still did not give up on his ordinary people, and always put the safety of others first.
Liu Bei relied on his resourcefulness and ability to lead troops to fight, expanding the hearts of the people step by step and giving the people a life of peace and contentment. He can not talk about feelings, but only interests. You can give up your own safety and put the people first. In this way, with Liu Bei's efforts, his life is full of legends.
Guan Yu's personality traits.
Guan Yu was a general during the Three Kingdoms period, and his most prominent characteristics were loyalty, trustworthiness, and arrogance. Guan Yu is the most favorite representative in people's minds, and is respected as "Guan Gong" by later generations.
When Liu Bei's great cause was not accomplished, Guan Yu did not abandon him, and always accompanied him and never gave up. Even though Cao Cao wanted to leave Guan Yu for his own use with a high salary, he never abandoned his brother, adhered to his principles, and finally stayed by Liu Bei's side. When he met Cao Cao again on the battlefield later, Guan Yu also let him go.
Guan Yu looked down on Pang De very much at that time, so he was very light on it. Due to his excessive arrogance, he was accidentally shot in the shoulder by Pound and was forced to stop the war. Later, Sun Quan wanted his son to marry Guan Yu's daughter, so he went to get married, but he was rejected by Guan Yu, which made Sun Quan hate Guan Yu very much. Guan Yu's arrogance caused him to suffer a sneak attack and live a miserable life.
Taoyuan has three knots, and the three of them have a very deep relationship.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the arrangement of fate, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were closely linked. Liu Bei made a living by selling straw sandals, while Guan Yu fled to Zhuo County because he hurt others, and Zhang Fei was a butcher who sold pork at that time.
In Zhang Fei's home, the three of them completed the worship ceremony, and since then the three have been called brothers. But the three weak brothers were not able to move forward smoothly on this road. Although Liu Bei has always claimed to be Liu Sheng's descendant, in that era, Liu Sheng's wives and concubines were in groups, not to mention his children, even if he was his descendant, he was not a royal nobleman.
The three of them relied on their own efforts and went to the process of starting a business. Unfortunately, at that time, Liu Bei obeyed Zhuge Liang's strategy and gradually occupied Xichuan, Yizhou and Hanzhong, established the Shu State, and had a strong sphere of influence. The competition between the three regions of Wei, Shu and Wu is very fierce, and they all want to get Jingzhou.
In such a scenario, Guan Yu encountered a sneak attack by the enemy while fighting against him, which led to the defeat of the war, and was finally captured as a prisoner. After being captured, Guan Yu refused to surrender and always insisted on his position, and was finally brutally killed by Ma Zhong. In order to curry favor with Cao Cao, Dongwu dedicated Guan Yu's head to him.
After Liu Bei, who was in a foreign country, learned of Guan Yu's death, he was very shocked in his heart, and he still couldn't believe that his brother had passed away. After confirming the news, he collapsed to the ground even more sadly. Since the three of them Taoyuan and the three of them were married, Guan Yu, with his wisdom and courage, can be said to have appeared by Liu Bei's side as his right-hand man on the road of growth.
Liu Bei packed up his mood and decided to avenge Guan Yu and attack the other party. And Zhuge Liang understood that at this time, the position he was in was not able to win the war, and he had dissuaded Liu Bei many times, telling him not to be blinded by hatred. But Liu Bei only wanted to avenge his brother at that time, and he couldn't listen to any advice, and Zhuge Liang never changed Liu Bei's mind.
After Zhang Fei got the news of Guan Yu's departure from the world, he couldn't accept the bad news in his heart. He couldn't believe that his brother, who was still talking and laughing together not long ago, left him like this. He mounted his horse and went to a place where there was no one, and his heart was very desolate. Kneeling on the ground, his mouth kept crying, and the melancholy voice echoed in the valley, and his brother could not return no matter what.
Originally, Zhang Fei was a straightforward person, and in this case, the anger in his heart could not be calmed for a long time. The death of his brother caused him great trauma and aggravated his inner irritability, which directly became the key reason for his future loss of life. If Zhang Fei had an available talent by his side who could pull him at a critical moment, maybe there would not have been a later situation.
After Zhang Fei's death, Liu Bei's reaction was meaningful.
After the death of his good brother Guan Yu, Zhang Fei decided to avenge Guan Yu, so he agitated the idea of fighting Wu every day by Liu Bei's side. And Zhang Fei often scolded the soldiers under him, and beat them up if he was slightly unhappy. Originally, after the defeat of the war, there were a lot of soldiers, and their morale gradually weakened.
At such a moment, Zhang Fei still ordered his subordinates to prepare funeral items to mourn Guan Yu's death. His subordinates Zhang Da and Fan Qiang told Zhang Fei that he couldn't find what the general needed in his current situation. Zhang Fei was very irritable because of this, and in a fit of anger, he beat the two of them and almost lost their lives.
This act made the two soldiers under their command hold a grudge, and the two secretly discussed the killing of Zhang Fei to vent their anger. At night, the two sneaked into Zhang Fei's house and cut off Zhang Fei's head while he was asleep.
After learning of Zhang Fei's death, his soldiers hurriedly passed the news to Liu Bei. The soldiers were also very worried, because Guan Yu's death had caused Liu Bei to suffer a huge blow, and they were worried that Liu Bei would not be able to withstand the grief and be worried.
Who knew that when Liu Bei learned the news of Zhang Fei's death, he was not as sad as before. He just sat there and was stunned for a while, and then said, "Boom! Fly to death. Liu Bei's reaction, whether it was then or now, must have been very shocking. Compared with the previous news of Guan Yu's death, the reactions between the two are inevitably too different.
Some people wonder if Liu Bei has a difference in the relationship between the two, but in fact, for Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are his siblings, and there is no high or low. It's just that when Guan Yu died, Liu Bei didn't have any preparations, and when he suddenly learned the news of Guan Yu's death, he couldn't accept it for a while.
And Zhang Fei's death is likely that Liu Bei had a premonition and expected that his brother was about to be killed, so he behaved so calmly. Because when Guan Yu died at that time, Zhang Fei had been inciting the intention of revenge by Liu Bei's side. And for Zhang Fei's arbitrary punishment of his subordinates, he also dissuaded him but had no effect. So for Zhang Fei's death, Liu Bei was much calmer.
After the death of his two brothers, Liu Bei prepared to launch a war against Wu. In this war, Liu Bei was almost wiped out, so he could only flee in a hurry, and he was not in good health because he was angry and angry. Later, when he learned that he was about to die, he called Zhuge Liang to his side and told him what happened after his death.
Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Chan to assist in handling affairs under Liu Bei's instructions, and Liu Bei never mentioned the matter of revenge again. His reason overcame impulse, and he finally put away the idea of revenge, hoping that Zhuge Liang could continue to assist him by his side.
However, Liu Chan was not a reliable talent, and as Zhuge Liang got older, he went north to attack Wei five times, all of which ended in failure. Time gradually passed, Zhuge Liang's body began to be unbearable, even if he had super wisdom, courage and resourcefulness, he could not withstand the busy government affairs.
Whether it is Guan Yu's death or Zhang Fei, Liu Bei is very sad in his heart, after all, the friendship between the three is very deep. Liu Bei, as a monarch, is entrusted with more important responsibilities, and he cannot be allowed to be in a state of grief for a long time, not to mention that the ideal of the three of them is to make a career from beginning to end.
After Liu Bei's death, the people's hearts were in turmoil, and many people had bad intentions, and launched many rebellions one after another. Zhuge Liang adopted the strategy he had formulated before, pacified the civil strife step by step, and finally took two years to deal with all the wars.
After a period of recovery, Shu began the Northern Expedition. Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei's instructions and used his own practical actions to do everything Liu Bei instructed before his death. At the same time, Zhuge Liang has a very deep affection for Liu Bei, and he is a person who values love and righteousness.
After a failed attack on Wei, Zhuge Liang eventually passed away due to an illness. The backer around him passed away without a military advisor to advise him, and Liu Chan began to decide to govern the country well. He was not good at handling government affairs, but with his efforts, the country also lived a stable life for a long time.
Later, Sima Zhao sent troops to attack Shu, but Liu Chan did not accept the war but surrendered to the enemy. In this way, the kingdom of Shu completely disappeared in history, and there has been no trace since.
