Zhou Yu was an outstanding politician and strategist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He is a perfect man and great husband with high moral character, both civil and military skills, brilliant, handsome, loyal to friends and love. Zhuge Liang is six years younger than Zhou Yu in history. He is also a famous politician, strategist, calligrapher, essayist and inventor. He combines loyalty, filial piety, righteousness and strategy, and can be said to be recognized as a wise male god in the history of China. There is no intersection between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang in history. In order to meet the needs of the plot of the novel, Luo Guanzhong arranged two male gods to fight with each other. Bian Xiao also wants to express his opinion today, and dares to let them do another big competition.
The first round: Yan value competition
The description of Zhou Yu's appearance in the History of the Three Kingdoms is that Zhou Yu is strong and handsome, translated into modern Chinese, and Zhou Yu is tall, strong and handsome. The History of the Three Kingdoms is recognized by China as the history book closest to historical facts. Zhou Yu is handsome and can be written into the history books by Chen Shou, which shows that Zhou Yu is really handsome. Even Luo Guanzhong, who is biased against Zhou Yu, praised Zhou Yu's handsomeness in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Zhou Yu's ancestors were all officials, from officials to Qiu, so Zhou Yu was worthy of the name.
Chen Shou's description of Zhuge Liang's appearance in the History of the Three Kingdoms is that he is eight feet long, which is about 1.84, and his appearance is very great. In modern terms, Zhuge Liang is a tall, powerful and handsome man. He is flawless in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and is the dream lover of most girls.
They are both handsome men, neck and neck. Who is better? According to historical facts and aesthetic standards in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Bian Xiao thinks that Zhou Yu should defeat Zhuge Liang. The ancients called the handsome man "Lang", and Zhou Yu was called "beautiful" by the world at that time. It can be seen that his high face deserves everyone's recognition. Although Zhuge Liang is handsome, his reputation as handsome is not as great as Zhou Yu's, so he regrets losing.
The second round: EQ competition
Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang, a talented young man, to come out of the mountain, worship him as a strategist and listen to him. Liu Guanzhang, on the other hand, has the meaning of Taoyuan friendship and the friendship between life and death. Zhang Fei, who has a hot temper, and Guan Yu, who is arrogant, followed Liu Bei to conquer the world and eventually gained fame and fortune. They can completely understand their eldest brother Liu Bei, but Zhuge Liang is not very good to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, but he can do whatever Zhuge Liang says, which shows that Zhuge Liang has a high emotional intelligence. Zhuge Liang talked about Confucianism, praised Guan Yu as a handsome man, controlled people with emotion, persuaded Ma Chao with reason, and Liu Bei, an orphan of Baidicheng, all showed Zhuge Liang's super emotional intelligence to the fullest.
Zhou Yu in history was humble, peaceful, humble and arrogant. Besides, he is loyal and has many friends. Sun Ce, a bully, is his good friend, and even Cheng Pu, an old general with great military achievements, can forget his friends. Cheng Pugang refused to accept Zhou Yu as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces at a young age, but was later impressed by Zhou Yu's personality charm, boasting that "making friends with Zhou Yu is like sipping wine, and you will get drunk before you know it!" It can be seen that Zhou Yu's EQ is not as low as that in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, on the contrary.
Both of them are people with high IQ, so it is really difficult to tell the winner. But judging from Sun Quan and Liu Bei's trust in them, as well as their official position and power, Zhuge Liang narrowly won.
The third round: talent competition
Zhou Yu is proficient in fencing and temperament. The ancients said, "If the melody is wrong, Zhou Lang will take care of it." After Zhou Yu's death, Zhuge Liang lamented that there was no one in the world who knew music better than him. It can be seen that Zhou Yu has a high attainments in music, which makes the hostile Zhuge Liang full of praise for him. Although Zhuge Liang is also good at music, he should not be as good as Zhou Yu. But Zhou Yu is not as good as Zhuge Liang in calligraphy and invention. As the commander in chief, Zhou Yu of Battle of Red Cliffs defeated Cao Jun, who is known as the 800,000-strong army, which directly decided the tripartite confrontation between the three countries and Wei Shuwu. It can be seen that Zhou Yu has made great contributions.
Long before Liu Bei's "three visits to the thatched cottage", Zhou Yu had drawn a blueprint for Sun Wu: to divide the Yangtze River into two parts, win over Jing Yi according to Jiangdong, and then dominate the Central Plains. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei's policy of "three points in the world" is also far-sighted, and their military strategies are equally excellent. Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce's expedition to the north and was invincible. He decided to Jiangdong and Lujiang, and he personally commanded every battle, defeated Huang Zu and was invincible. Zhuge Liang burned Bowangpo, skillfully borrowed the east wind, and borrowed an arrow from a straw boat, all of which were false, Luo Guanzhong's masterpieces. But Zhuge Liang, as a strategist, lost Guan Yu to Fancheng, defeated Maicheng and was killed. Six trips to Qishan were in vain, which not only emptied the treasury of Shu, but also made the people pay heavy taxes, which proved that he made some mistakes in the military. Aside from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, from a historical point of view, Zhou Yu won the game.
In history, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu did not have any festivals or confrontations. During the period from Battle of Red Cliffs to Zhou Yu's death, Zhuge Liang mainly lived in Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang, and they never met. But the story of the two of them has been passed down through the ages and has been remembered by future generations. Who is more handsome? Who is more talented? Who is more capable? Different people have different opinions. Let future generations comment!
