During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many heroes and fierce generals. If you conquer too much, you will inevitably die young due to various accidents.
For example, when Guan Yu, Zhou Yu and others died, not only the people mourned, but the monarch grieved, and even the heavens and the earth changed color, which was called "the star falling".
And when Gan Ning, known as the "Tiger Minister of Jiangbiao", died, there were hundreds of crows around his body, and they did not disperse for a long time, what is going on?
Before joining the army, Gan Ning was a well-known bandit in Ba County. Unlike other robbers who took risks to plunder because of poverty, the Ganning family was a well-known local tycoon.
When Gan Ning traveled, he not only wore gold and silver, but even the attendants around him were dressed in splendid embroidery, which was extraordinary. He even tied the boat with splendid embroidery, and cut it off and abandoned it directly after using it, without feeling distressed at all.
The reason why Gan Ning, who is so extravagant, gathered to be a robber is because he was born with a strong force, and he likes to dance and play with swords since he was a child, so he imitates the rangers of ancient times and wants to die in the world.
When Gan Ning passed the age of frivolity, he reflected on his previous behavior, began to study the theory of the hundred schools of thought, and planned to embark on a career in office, and he also successfully rose from Ji Peng to Juncheng. It's just that at that time, the world was in turmoil, and the heroes rose together, and Gan Ning was strong in martial arts.
Gan Ning successively attached himself to Liu Yan, Liu Biao and Huang Zu, and when Huang Zu was under him, he also sacrificed his life to break the queen for Huang Zu, so that Huang Zu could escape in the chaos. But even so, Huang Zu was still unwilling to reuse him.
Just when he was disheartened, Zhou Yu and Lü Meng, who were friends with him, tried their best to persuade him to go to Jiangdong to join Sun Quan. So with the help of his colleague Su Fei, Gan Ning left Huang Zu through external transfer and went to join his "Bole" - Sun Quan.
With the introduction of Zhou Yu and Lu Meng, Sun Quan naturally attached great importance to Gan Ning, and Gan Ning did not live up to his trust, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats under Sun Quan.
Once Gan Ning led a hundred elite night raids on Cao Ying, beheaded dozens of people and retreated, making Cao Ying's chickens and dogs restless. Sun Quan was very happy and sighed"Meng De has Zhang Liao, and he is lonely and prosperous, and he is also an enemy. ”
Comparing Gan Ning with Zhang Liao shows the weight of Gan Ning in Sun Quan's heart.
In the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan sent troops to Anhui City. In this battle, Gan Ning took the lead, fearless of death, forcibly climbed the city wall with chains in his hand, and finally captured Anhui City. After the war, Gan Ning was named "General Zhichong", and he implemented a gorgeous turn from a robber to a general.
Gan Ning not only implements the evil deeds of the ranger, likes to gather people to plunder, but also has the advantages of a ranger, that is, loyalty to the liver and courage, and the importance of love and righteousness.
When the confrontation between Eastern Wu and Cao Wei, Sun Quan ordered Gan Ning to lead more than 100 soldiers to attack Cao Ying at night.
Gan Ning rebuked him loudly"The Lord has given you more favor than I have, and I am not afraid of death, what are you afraid of? ”
The Governor accepted the Zhuangxing wine with a look of shame. Then Gan Ning led these soldiers to rush into Cao's camp, killed dozens of people, disturbed Cao Cao, and left safely.
In his early years under Huang Zu, even if Huang Zu did not attach importance to him, he did not care about life and death for him. treats the monarch Sun Quan, who has the grace of knowing him, and he is even more desperate to protect it. In the Battle of Hefei in the twentieth year of Jian'an, the Eastern Wu lost the battle, leaving only more than 1,000 soldiers under Sun Quan to stay.
And Zhang Liao, the general of the Cao army, led the army to chase after him, and Gan Ning fought desperately, boosted morale, and unified with Ling to protect Sun Quan from the siege, so that Sun Quan saved his life.
Gan Ning is loyal to his master, and he is also affectionate and righteous to his friends. He was familiar with Su Fei in his early years under Huang Zu, and Su Fei always recommended Gan Ning to Huang Zu, and when he learned that Gan Ning wanted to leave, he also tried his best to plan for him.
Later, Sun Quan and Huang Zu had a bad relationship and fought several battles, and Su Fei helped Huang Zu to give advice, which made Sun Quan hate his teeth. During the third crusade against Huang Zu, Sun Quan also deliberately made two boxes to hold the heads of Huang Zu and Su Fei.
Later, Huang Zu was defeated, Su Fei **, at the celebration banquet, Gan Ning knelt on the ground and kowtowed until his head broke his blood, and asked Sun Quan to pardon Su Fei. Sun Quan was very hesitant and asked"I'm letting him go now, what if he runs away in the future? ”
Gan Ning replied that he was willing to die for him, and only asked Sun Quan to forgive his former benefactor. Faced with this situation, even if Sun Quan was unwilling in his heart, he could only pardon Su Fei. Gan Ning gambled his life in exchange for the freedom of his friends.
is such a heroic hero who is loyal to his liver and courage, and values love and righteousness, but his death appearance is not very good-looking.
According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in the Battle of Yiling, the Shu Barbarian shot Shamoke in the forehead with an arrow, and Gan Ning fled to sit under a tree and waited for death. After his death, his body was surrounded by hundreds of crows, and they did not disperse for a long time.
First of all, we have to get rid of a misunderstanding, although the crow is regarded as a symbol of bad luck in modern times because of its black body and penchant for rotten food, but in ancient times, the crow was a kind of sacred bird.
As early as in ancient times, in the myths and legends that circulated, there was a saying that the sun was called "three-legged golden crow", which shows that the image of the crow is extremely brilliant.
And in folklore, the crow also has a prophetic and auspicious role, so-called"The crow announces the good news, and there is Zhou Xing",The raven was given the role of prophesying the change of dynasty. In the legend of Taoism, the native religion of our country, there are also allusions to the crow guiding Emperor Zhenwu to the mountain to cultivate.
Therefore, being surrounded by hundreds of crows after Gan Ning's death is not a bad thing, but it is the same as Guan Yu, Zhou Yu and others' "falling stars", which is an affirmation of his achievements during his lifetime.
In folklore, Gan Ning was made a god after his death, and the crow surrounding his body was a god crow, which was driven by him after death. For this reason, the people also specially built a temple for it, called "General Wu Temple".
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Gan Ning was named "King of Zhaoyi Wuhui's Legacy Lingxian", so his temple was also called "Wuwang Temple".
In Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", there is a story called "Zhuqing", which tells the story of a Luodi Xiucai named Yuke who is poor and hungry on the way back to his hometown, and spends the night in the temple of King Wu to pray.
So Gan Ning, the king of Wu, turned him into a crow, so that he could be fed by the passengers on the ship every day and not starve.
When King Wu saw that he had no spouse, he also rewarded him with a crow named Zhuqing. Later, the fisherman became a human again, and Zhuqing also turned into a goddess of the Han River, and the two continued their relationship.
Although "The Fall of the Star" sounds earth-shattering, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Liu Qi, Sun Jian, Zhou Yu and others all had visions from the sky when they died, representing the fall of the stars.
On the other hand, when Gan Ning died, although there were only hundreds of crows around, it looked very terrifying, but it was unique and unforgettable.
Not to mention that he was also a god after his death, and he was treated the same as the mighty Guan Erye, which can be said to be worthy of this life.
