In that era of the Three Kingdoms, countless heroes were like bright stars. However, there are five famous generals who should have been dominant, but because they chose the wrong lord, they went to a life full of tragedy.
This title is like a painful historical picture, outlining the bitter past of the Three Kingdoms period. These five stars could have achieved great things, but their choices changed the course of their lives.
Following the wrong lord became the beginning of their tragedy. This is a tragic epic about loyalty and betrayal, trust and betrayal, and the fate of the five famous generals is like a star eclipsed in the night sky, silently telling the impermanence of history and the cruelty of war.
In this thought-provoking story, let's travel back in time to discover the choices of these five famous players and their ultimate tragic fate. Perhaps, in this ancient world of the Three Kingdoms, there are still many exciting heroic legends waiting for us to discover.
In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, heroes from all walks of life competed to rise. Among them, Gao Shun, a fierce general under Lu Bu, was highly valued by Lu Bu for his tall and powerful figure, upright and resolute character, and loyal personality charm.
Whenever Lu Bu led an army to go on an expedition, Gao Shun always moved forward bravely and made countless achievements. However, Cao Cao's army raided Xiapicheng, and Lü Bu hurriedly broke through with a few of his subordinates, and Gao Shun was among them.
They fled to Xuzhou and sought Liu Bei's help, hoping to make a comeback. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei coveted Lu Bu's famous horse Chitu and set a trap to capture Lu Bu.
Gao Shun also fell into the hands of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was narrow-minded, he was afraid of Gao Shun's name of bravery, and did not dare to let him serve by his side. Cao Cao then ordered Gao Shun to surrender, but Gao Shun resolutely refused, saying that he would rather die than betray his lord Lu Bu.
Cao Cao was furious and immediately ordered his execution. In the face of sudden death, Gao Shun calmly accepted righteousness and always adhered to his beliefs. His bravery and loyalty to the death make people feel both regretful and admirable.
This is the fate of Gao Shun. He could have done something great in the troubled times, but because of Lu Bu's defeat, his fate changed. Although his integrity and loyalty have become part of the constraints of his life, it is also this persistence that makes him brave to face life and death.
Choosing to follow a leader who ultimately fails in troubled times dooms his fate. However, his spirit is worthy of respect, and his story has become a good story through the ages.
Dian Wei, a brave man under Cao Cao, is eight feet long, with a double halberd in his hand, and his strength is endless. In every battle, he must rush to the forefront and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. Hence the name "Twin Halberd General", deeply trusted by Cao Cao.
Cao Cao once heard that there was a legendary horse - the Red Rabbit Horse, which had to be obtained. So, he sent Dian Wei to the people's homes to ask for it.
However, Dian Wei knew that it was unjust to oppress the people, and the people firmly did not agree to hand over the horses, so the two sides were at odds.
On the way back to the inquiry, the people's wives cut off the horse's legs in desperation. Faced with this sudden change, Dian Wei deeply regretted, but still chose to release the people as a sign of his leniency and mercy.
He truthfully reported the incident to Cao Cao, but was furious by Cao Cao. Cao Cao thought that Dian Wei was ineffective and even let the red rabbit horse die.
Although Cao Cao had always killed people, seeing that Dian Wei lost his life because of a momentary mistake, he still ordered Dian Wei to be beheaded on the spot.
Dian Wei was very sad about this, he had been loyal to Cao Cao all his life, but he died because of a trivial matter. What happened to him is deeply saddening. Dian Wei was originally Cao Cao's fierce general, but his bravery and loyalty became a stepping stone to his fate.
Cao Cao's cruelty and suspicion led to his death, a tragic song that has been passed down through the ages. The story of Dian Wei became a portrayal of the dark side of Cao Cao's rule in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and also warned future generations to guard against the corrosion of power.
Zhang Ren, the word Zibu, loyalty, perseverance and courage. He once followed Liu Zhang, and later joined the command because of his admiration for Liu Bei's bearing and talent, and made great achievements for Shu Han and guarded the territory.
He has a tough personality and integrity, and is deeply relied on by Liu Bei. However, when Liu Bei died, the emperor of Cao Wei intended to attack Shu Han, and the young Liu Chan could not stand alone in his mission. In order to protect themselves, many old subordinates surrendered to Cao Wei, and Zhang Ren was among them.
However, after careful consideration, he resolutely rejected the offer to surrender, and he was willing to live and die with Shu Han.
Soon, Cao Wei's army slaughtered as predicted. Zhang Ren resisted bravely and killed countless enemies. But in the end, he was captured alive because he was outnumbered. Cao Wei Tianzi wanted to show the public with this and sentenced him to death.
On the execution table, Zhang Ren still straightened his waist and looked straight ahead. His faith did not waver in the slightest, and he remained true to his original intention until his death. His integrity is commendable and will last for generations.
This is the end of Zhang Ren. He could have surrendered to save his life, but he lost his life because he held on to his faith. His loyalty and integrity also became a stumbling block to his fate, but it was the embodiment of his spirit.
In the turbulent times, some people still cherish their family and country, are not afraid of power, insist on themselves, and Zhang Ren's integrity is awe-inspiring. This has also become a beautiful talk through the ages and has been passed down to this day.
Yuan Shao's resourceful strategists were frustrated, well aware of righteousness and unique strategies, and offered good advice to Yuan Shao again and again, helping him to grow stronger and stronger in the north, and no one was invincible for a while.
Therefore, he was extremely reused and trusted by Yuan Shao. However, Yuan Shao was jealous of Cao Cao and decided to crusade, and tried his best to dissuade him, but Yuan Shao was unmoved, and even suspected that he was acting in Cao Ying.
In the end, Yuan Shao's crushing defeat in the Battle of Guandu became a turning point in his fate and the beginning of the tragedy of depression.
Yuan Shao suffered a heavy blow after this defeat, so he had a plan in his heart, intending to use it to clear the biggest hidden danger in his heart. Soon after, he suddenly sent someone to put him in prison.
People were puzzled, but no one dared to ask him about his true intentions. Yuan Shao denied that the incident had anything to do with him. Eventually, news came out of prison that Fu Zhi had died, which was undoubtedly the work of Yuan Shao, who used it to frame the strategists in order to clear his name.
This is the end of frustration. He was loyal, but he was slandered and framed for it. His ingenuity and brilliant strategy were ruined in Yuan Shao's stupidity, and this absurdity and irony are thought-provoking.
The tragedy of frustration reminds us that choosing to follow an incompetent monarch can ultimately ruin the future of a strategist. He also became a symbol of loyalty and slander in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which left a deep lesson for us.
Wei Yan, a brilliant and loyal general, initially loyal to Liu Zhang, later became his right-hand man during Liu Bei's meritorious campaigns. Wei Yan has a straightforward personality, is agile and flexible, and is loyal to his friends, so he is highly regarded by Liu Bei.
He made great achievements in the war in Shuzhong, and was awarded important positions for this. However, his fortunes took a turn in a power struggle. In the middle of the Shu Han Dynasty, Yang Yi was reused by Liu Bei and seized power.
The conflict between him and Wei Yan deepened, and he feared that Wei Yan would threaten his position. So, he secretly designed to slander Wei Yan in front of Liu Bei. At first, Liu Bei was skeptical of Yang Yi's words, but later he completely believed his words.
Finally one day, Liu Bei asked Wei Yan to go to meet the Nanzhong military horses, but he deliberately sent heavy troops to ambush him, preparing to attack him. This power struggle ended with Wei Yan's sacrifice, which was deeply regretted.
After Wei Yan learned the truth, he was indignant and understood that this was Yang Yi's trick. wanted to go to the theory, but was stopped by Yang Yi's cronies. On his deathbed, he looked up at the sky, his heart full of unwillingness, and he became a victim of the power struggle.
His life was brilliant and brilliant, but he was wronged after his death, which is impressive. This is the end of Wei Yan, who became a victim of the power struggle in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and no one spoke up for him, which is regrettable.
In troubled times, heroes emerge, but the fate of these heroes is often bumpy. The five heroes in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, who have extraordinary talents, fell into the abyss of tragedy for various reasons, and became a symbol of that turbulent era, and thus were praised by future generations.
Some died because of the defeat of the lord, some suffered misfortune because of the suspicion of the monarch, and some fell victim to the power struggle. Their fate is thought-provoking and reflective.
Perhaps, it is their misfortune that makes these stories more alive and passed down through the ages.
