Zhuge Liang proposed the strategy of "dividing the world into three parts, taking Yizhou and governing it, taking Jingzhou in the east, taking Hanzhong in the south and taking Hanzhong in the west". Sun Quan once sent Lu Su to Zhou Yu's home to ask him how to deal with Cao Cao. Zhou Yu proposed a "fire attack" strategy and finally defeated Cao Cao's army. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had written a poem about Liu Bei's marriage," The wings are full and soaring ", which implied the deep feelings and mutual trust between them.

The night of the third day of the ninth month is like the dew of a real pearl and the moon is like a bow." It expressed his longing for history and his feelings for life.

In the first chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the opening poem," The Immortal of Linjiang River, Rolling Yangtze River East Water," was written by Ming Yang Shen." Rolling Yangtze River East Water, the waves wash away the heroes. right and wrong, success or failure, turn your head and empty. The green mountains were still there, and the sunset was red. White-haired fishermen and woodsmen on the river isles, used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. a jug of foul wine, happy to meet. How many things have happened since ancient times?" This word had a grand artistic conception, and it was filled with emotion about the vastness of the universe and the fleeting vicissitudes of history. Heroes were baptized in the tide of history. Success or failure, right or wrong, were ultimately empty, but the "emptiness" here contained philosophy and wisdom, not negative emptiness and loneliness. The universe operated without stopping. Heroes and mortals would follow the laws of nature and grow old. Eventually, they would return to their ordinary lives. When they drank with their friends, the past would become a topic of conversation with the wine, showing the realm of freedom. Praise Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's poem,"Heroes show their brilliance today, testing a spear and a knife." When you first come out, show your power and mark your name." Guan Yu had once fled, and Zhang Fei had once slaughtered pigs and sold wine. They had unique skills, but it was difficult to display them. It was not until the end of the Han Dynasty when the country was in turmoil that they had the opportunity to stand out in history after meeting Liu Bei. Zhang Fei stabbed the Yellow Turban Army's deputy general Deng Mao to death, and Guan Yu killed the Yellow Turban Army's general Cheng Yuanzhi. It was obvious that the two of them were highly skilled in martial arts. The previous hardships had also served as a foreshadowing for them to show their faces. This poem reflected the truth that heroes did not care about their origins. Praise Liu Bei's poem,"There is a divine skill in the calculation of fate, and two tigers must be inferior to one dragon." When you first came out, you were able to make great achievements. Naturally, you should be in solitary poverty." Although Liu Bei's martial arts skills were not as good as Guan Zhang's, he could be a big brother not only because he could fight, but also because of his wisdom, magnanimity, and boldness. His identity as the descendant of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, and the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of Han also added to his fate, but the key was his own true ability. Liu Bei made friends with the Guan and Zhang brothers with his emotional intelligence. He galloped on the battlefield. At first, he looked like a coward who was crying and bowing, but at the second glance, he was flesh and blood and had iron bones. There is also the saying," Human feelings are snobbish since ancient times. Who knows that heroes are white bodies? How can a good man be as virtuous as a winged man? I'll kill all the heartless people in the world!" The three brothers, Liu Guan and Zhang, saved Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo despised them because of their low birth. Zhang Fei wanted to kill Dong Zhuo but was stopped by Liu Bei. Liu Bei knew that he could not kill the bad guys, which reflected his wisdom to see through the essence of the problem. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
