Seeing the Three Brothers from Zhuge Liang's Angle

The three brothers from Jizhou to Xuzhou, from youth to middle age, often give people a feeling that they are willing but unable to do so. What's the problem? Limited strategy, in other words, limited knowledge.

It was not until Jingzhou met Zhuge Liang that they really reached the peak of their career. Soon after Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, he knew the characters of the three brothers like the back of his hand. There are many descriptions in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which can be read by interested students. However, this article only refers to history. Let's see what the three brothers look like in Zhuge Liang's eyes.

After Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage and invited Kong Ming, he often lamented that he had met and hated each other late, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very dissatisfied and often called Zhuge Liang names. Liu Bei explained that he met Kong Ming like a duck to water, and Zhang Guan stopped complaining.

So why did the three brothers react so much when they first met Zhuge Liang? In fact, this is also very understandable. If Zhuge Liang is compared to a teacher in a key middle school, Liu Guan and Zhang San are his students. After class, Liu Bei said that the teacher spoke very well, but he didn't know what he meant.

The so-called scholar meets the soldier, which is unreasonable. Judging from their acceptance of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei should be more knowledgeable than Zhang Guan.

So, what about Hezhang in Zhuge Liang's eyes?

According to the biography of Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms, when Guan Yu asked Zhuge Liang about Ma Chao's military talents, Zhuge Liang replied: "Ma Chao is both literate and martial, just like Ying Bu and Peng Yue in the early Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to Zhang Fei, but not as good as Beard."

Although Zhuge Liang deliberately catered to Guan Yu, he still revealed a message to people. In Zhuge Liang's eyes, Guan Yu is superior to Ma Chao and Zhang Fei, not because of his superb martial arts, but because of his temperament. The so-called belly full of poetry books, it is precisely because Guan Yu has been reading classics for many years that he can stand out among military commanders.

As for Zhang Fei, although he spent more time with Zhuge Liang than Guan Yu, he didn't leave a record. Maybe he didn't understand the language!

Seeing the Three Brothers from Cao Cao's Angle

After Liu Bei lost Xuzhou, he once committed himself to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's attitude towards the three brothers was different.

Cao Cao's evaluation of Liu Bei hit the nail on the head: "The only heroes in the world are the monarch and Cao!" In Cao Cao's eyes, Liu Bei is a hero who can be compared with him. Although there are tentative elements, this evaluation comes from Cao Cao's heart. His two most effective counselors, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia, also think that Liu Bei is a hidden dragon.

Although Cao Ying's evaluation of Zhang Guan is full of courage, Cao Cao's attitude towards them is quite different. Cao Cao took good care of Guan Yu, even though he knew Guan Yu was in Cao Cao and his heart was in the Han Dynasty, he was still willing to let him go. Don't Cao Cao's men have Athens? Of course not, or our second brother Guan has the temperament of a Confucian general, who understands the righteousness deeply and makes Cao Cao feel that he is different.

Cao Cao had no feelings for Zhang Fei, perhaps because he felt that words could not be communicated, so he gave up directly.

Cao Cao was a romantic figure in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and he had high attainments in literature and calligraphy. So judging from his attitude towards the three brothers, the cultural ranking of the three brothers is still Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Judging from the personal study resumes of the three brothers

Liu Bei, whose ancestral home is Wang Jing in Zhongshan, is a scholar with his grandfather Liu Xiongju Xiaolian and his father Li Kasi. After I was fifteen, I studied in Lu Zhi.

However, Liu Bei's academic level is also average. On the one hand, he disliked studying since he was a child, preferring BMW, music and fashionable clothes. Up to now, he is almost a TFBOY delayed by the war.

In addition, although Lu Zhi was a great scholar in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei did not get his biography. In A.D. 175, Lu Zhi, the satrap of Jiujiang, went home due to illness, but was recalled to Luoyang at the end of the year. Liu Bei only studied there. Therefore, the fate of two people will be in a hurry for several months.

Although Guan Yu is not as noble as Liu Bei, he is a learned man, but his grandfather Guan Yu likes to teach Guan Yu's father with the Book of Changes and The Spring and Autumn Annals. As we all know, Guan Yu often reads Spring and Autumn Annals in his spare time, which was originally influenced by his family. From this point of view, Guan Yu usually looks down on literati for a reason. His martial arts are similar to his, but his culture is not as high as his, his culture is higher than his, and his martial arts are not as good as his. No wonder even Sun Quan, a marriage madman, wants to marry him.

For Zhang Fei, who has no information about his birth, perhaps we can get a glimpse from his communication experience. Zhang Fei entered Xichuan and Yan Yan was captured, preferring death to surrender. Zhang Fei immediately released him. The so-called loyalty is mostly for killing dogs.

In addition, Liu Ba is a very learned and famous person, but he doesn't care about Zhang Fei. Zhuge Liang advised him, "Although Zhang Fei is a warrior, he admires you very much. You'd better give him face! "

But Liu Ba said, "A gentleman should be a hero in the world. How can he talk to a soldier? "

When this incident spread to Wu Dong, Sun Quan recognized Liu Ba very much: "If Liu Ba made friends with Zhang Fei in order to please Liu Bei, how can he be called a scholar?"

It can be seen that although Zhang Fei likes to make friends with elites, he seems to be unable to get the support of civil servants, which has something to do with his knowledge. As the saying goes, no common cause, no common cause.

Zhang Fei did one thing right.

Although Zhang is no match for Liu Bei, Wu Di is no match for Guan Yu. However, he accidentally planted willows in the shade. On the way to escape from Cao Cao, he picked up a girl who collected firewood. She is not an ordinary person, but the daughter of Xiahou's family. She later gave birth to two daughters for Zhang Feisheng, both of whom married Liu Chan and became queens. The illegitimate child surrendered to Wei because of his relationship and was blocked.

Nine times out of ten, life is not as good as Liu Bei in writing, as good as Liu Ba in climbing, as good as Guan Yu in martial arts, and as good as Lu Bu in beating, but frustrated Zhang Fei did one thing right, and future generations have no worries.
