Start from Wanjie Live

The fireworks that originally blocked the sky finally dissipated.

The three camps of Wei, Shu and Wu all expressed great satisfaction.

There is one person from each of the three countries who can go to the Fairy Mountain as a guest. The Fairy is indeed fair and impartial.

I just don’t know when I can go.

No matter when you go, you have to make preparations.

Cao Cao quickly ordered people to prepare gifts. The more the better. He must please the fairy so that he can get more benefits for his family.

Liu Bei is also preparing things.

Although their territory is not big and they are not very wealthy now, they still have some good things, especially the Shu brocade that the fairy mentioned.

The same is true over Soochow.

Sun Quan has occupied Soochow for a long time and managed Soochow very well. It is located in the south and has always had lots of water and a lot of aquatic products. In addition to fish and shrimps for food, there are also pearls, corals and the like. .

As for Wuyou, I thought that since I had already said that I would invite people to come over as a guest, I might as well take the opportunity to get the guest list, so as not to have to go back and invite them one by one.

She smiled and said: "Now that we have said it all, let's talk about the list of guests. In addition to the three people I just mentioned, I also plan to invite Mr. Li Bai, Du Fu and Dongpo to come together this time. I don't know the three Are you willing?"

Then you must be willing.

Du Fu wanted to thank the fairy for a long time. After all, the fairy saved his son, but unfortunately he never had the chance. This time he thought that he must thank the fairy properly after he passed.

His family was poor and had nothing to offer, but he was still able to work. After he left, he would do more work for the fairy.

Li Bai was even more happy.

He wanted to become an immortal wholeheartedly, and often wandered among famous mountains and rivers, looking for traces of immortals. How could he waste the opportunity he had now to see an immortal?

When Su Dongpo heard that he could see Li Bai and Du Fu, he hurriedly said: "Yes, of course I am willing."

When Wuyou saw that everyone agreed to come, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll set a time later and invite six of you to come."

After handling this matter, Wuyou continued: "Let's continue. What I said before are all descriptions of Zhao Yun in the novel. They are exaggerated. What is the real Zhao Yun like?"

"In 191 AD, the people of Changshan County, where Zhao Yun was born, discussed and recommended Zhao Yun to lead the local Yicong soldiers to seek refuge with Gongsun Zan. At that time, Gongsun Zan did not expect that Zhao Yun would come to seek refuge with him, so he asked Zhao Yun, "Don't you people from Hebei Are you all willing to take refuge with Yuan Shao? Why do you come to take refuge with me? Zhao Yun replied, "To take refuge with you is the result of discussions between the people of our county. We all take refuge with the Lord of Benevolence and Righteousness. This is not decided by me alone." "At that time, Liu Bei He also attached himself to Gongsun Zan and got to know Zhao Yun. Liu Bei admired Zhao Yun very much and got close to Zhao Yun. Later, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought, so he sent Liu Bei to the front line to support him. Zhao Yun went with Liu Bei at that time. He also helps Liu Bei take charge of food and grass, so the relationship between the two of them becomes even closer."

"Zhao Yun's brother passed away. Zhao Yun had to go back to take care of the family affairs, so he said goodbye to Gongsun Zan. Liu Bei really couldn't bear to leave Zhao Yun, so he reluctantly went to see him off. He held Zhao Yun's hand and was particularly reluctant to say goodbye."

"After Zhao Yun left, Liu Bei thought he would never see him again, but he didn't expect that in 200 AD, Liu Bei would see Zhao Yun again. From then on, Zhao Yun began to assist Liu Bei and followed Liu Bei for nearly 30 years, participating in He participated in the Battle of Bowangpo, the Battle of Changbanpo, and the Battle of Jiangnan, and personally commanded the Battle of Ruchuan, the Battle of Hanshui, and the Battle of Jigu, all of which achieved very good results."

"After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were killed, Liu Bei wanted to avenge them. At this time, Zhao Yun advised Liu Bei that it was not a good time and asked him to think twice before taking action. However, Liu Bei did not listen to Zhao Yun and led troops to attack Soochow. Once he left, he would never do it again. He didn’t come back and died of illness in Baidi City.”

"After Liu Bei's death, Zhao Yun began to assist the young master Liu Chan until his death. Although Zhao Yun was a military general, he did not die in battle. He died at the end of his life and was posthumously named Shunping Hou."

"In the romance, it is said that Zhao Yun was still a pioneer in his 70s. This is probably too exaggerated. Zhao Yun in the official history should not have lived to be in his 70s. Zhao Yun's birth date cannot be determined, so we will calculate it based on the time when he took refuge with Gongsun Zan. , Generally speaking, the candidates recommended by the ancients to lead troops in war must not be middle-aged or old, but young and middle-aged. Let’s take Zhao Yun as being in his twenties at that time. That year was 38 years after Zhao Yun’s death. More than 20 plus At 38 years old, he is still in his 60s."

"But it's pretty good to live to be over 60 years old. After all, the lifespan of ancient people was short."

Wuyou talked a lot in one breath, and after finishing talking about Zhao Yun, he quickly drank several mouthfuls of water to moisten his throat.

"We have finished talking about the handsome guys of the Three Kingdoms. Who should we talk about next?"

"I talked about Liu Bei earlier, now let's talk about Cao Cao, a great hero in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms."

"Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a narrow-minded and treacherous image. Cao Cao also often appears as a treacherous minister in later operas."

Wuyou said while playing a clip of a drama song stored in the computer.

"The blue-faced Dou Erdun stole the royal horse, the red-faced Guan Gong fought in Changsha, the yellow-faced Dian Wei and the white-faced Cao Cao..."

After the clip was played, Wuyou explained: "In later generations of Peking Opera, actors' facial makeup is differentiated according to color. Generally speaking, blue faces are generally used for Green Forest characters, which means that this character is strong and bold. Sometimes The representative character is insidious and cunning. The red face represents the character’s loyalty, uprightness and bloody spirit, while the white face represents the evil villain..."

"The image of Cao Cao in operas should have been influenced by novels from the Ming Dynasty, or possibly the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After all, in many operas, the image of Cao Cao is relatively negative."

"But what is the real Cao Cao like?"

"Regarding Cao Cao, let's first talk about a few idioms and allusions related to him, so as to understand this character from some aspects."

"The first thing I want to talk about is an allusion, saying that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived. This was widely quoted by later generations to describe the arrival of a certain person as soon as he was mentioned. Where did this allusion come from? It talks about Li Que and Guo Si. As soon as the soldiers captured Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, they were about to have no other way out. Some of the people who followed and protected Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty came to offer advice, saying that they might as well turn to Cao Cao for help. However, before the messenger set out, the coalition forces had already arrived. At the critical moment of life and death, Xiahou Dun came to escort him on Cao Cao's order and successfully rescued Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty."
