In the Chinese classic "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", many characters have been successfully created, among which the "Three Wonders" have amazed readers throughout the ages. They are Zhuge Liang, the wise one, Guan Yu, the righteous one, and Cao Cao, the traitorous one. Please combine the content in the novel and choose a character from these three people for a brief analysis.
Answer: Zhuge Liang: resourceful, able to predict events like a god, and have superhuman strategies; he knows geography below and astronomy above; he is well versed in politics, proficient in military affairs, good at diplomacy, and has the talent to navigate the world. As early as when he lived in seclusion in Longzhong, he was well aware of the general trend of the world. Not only did he have high opinions, but he was also able to use troops practically. The first time at Bowangpo, he won by surprise. With only 9,000 troops, he defeated Cao Cao's general Xiahou Dun's 100,000 troops with fire in one fell swoop. This suddenly reversed Liu Bei's group's long-term military passivity. At the same time, it also made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had looked at him coldly and unconvinced, have to look at him with admiration and "worship" again and again.
Guan Yu: The principle of dealing with others is embodied in the word "righteousness". This "righteousness" includes not only loyalty to the Liu Shu Group, abiding by the oath of "reporting to the country, and protecting the common people", but also includes the interpersonal principle of "repaying all kindness". There are two main plots that express Guan Yu's "loyalty" in the work: one is "riding alone for thousands of miles" and the other is "letting Cao Cao go on the Huarong Road". This is the "riding alone" praised by Mao Zonggang in "Reading the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms". Traveling thousands of miles, the ambition to repay the Lord is strong; justice reveals the beauty, and the friendship of repaying kindness is heavy."
Cao Cao: He likes to play with power and play it in his hands. When Shouchun attacked Yuan Shu, Cao Cao's army and Yuan's army were in a stalemate for more than a month, and the food was "not enough to disperse", so Cao Cao asked the grain official Wang Gu to "disperse small dendrobium to save the moment". Wang Gu, the grain officer, obeyed the order, which aroused the anger of the officers and soldiers in various villages, and there were rumors that the prime minister was bullying everyone. He secretly sent people to find out the news, and he did not hesitate to use the head of Wang Gu, who was blameless, to stabilize the morale of the army and calm the public's anger.
Zhuge Liang knew that things were going well, so he used his tips to help him.
When General Zhou Yu heard that Liu Bei’s wife had just passed away, he designed to betroth Sun Quan’s sister to Liu Bei so that When Liu Bei went to Soochow to marry into his wife, he imprisoned him secretly in prison and exchanged him for Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang saw through this plan and decided to send Zhao Yun to accompany Liu Bei to Soochow to get married. Before leaving, Zhuge Liang quietly said to Zhao Yun: "If you protect my lord to Soochow, I will give you three tips. There are three clever strategies in the bag. You can follow the plan after arriving at Soochow." Later, Zhao Yun followed the plan. Guaranteeing Liu Bei's marriage and returning safely to Jingzhou with his new wife made Zhou Yu's plan come to nothing. It only resulted in the eternal joke of "Zhou Lang's clever plan to calm the world, he lost his wife and lost his troops".
Zhuge Liang is known as a god of intelligence and clever calculations.
Jia Xu: "Zhuge Liang is good at governing the country."
Liu Ye: "Zhuge Liang is brilliant at He is the prime minister."
Xu Shu said: "This person can be seen, but he should not be surrendered. The general should take care of him in vain." "Zhuge Kongming is also a sleeping dragon."
Guan Yu is very loyal. Guan Yu passed five levels and killed six generals. This is a typical example.
Cao Cao praised Guan Yu's bravery, rewarded him heavily, and named him Hanshou Tinghou (Hanshou, place name; Tinghou, marquis name). After Guan Yu killed Yan Liang, Cao Cao knew that he must go, so he rewarded him heavily. Guan Yu sealed up all the rewards Cao Cao had given him many times, hung the seal and ribbon of Hou Tinghou of the Han Dynasty in the hall, wrote a farewell letter to Cao Cao, protected Liu Bei's family, left Cao Cao's camp, and went to Yuan Shao's army to look for Liu Bei. After Cao Cao's soldiers heard about it, they wanted to pursue him, but Cao Cao dissuaded him and said: "Everyone is his own master, so don't chase him" ("Three Kingdoms·Shu Shu Liu·Biography of Guan Yu").
From the time Guan Yu was captured to the time he repaid Cao with meritorious services and defected to Liu Bei again, this experience has been passed down orally and spread widely. By the time of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", a colorful and exciting story unit has been formed, including three events about Guan Gong's settlement in Tushan (surrendering the Han but not Cao Cao; treating his second sister-in-law with courtesy; once he learned Liu Bei's whereabouts, he would resign); Cao Cao treated Guan Yu favorably , the small banquet lasted three days and the big banquet lasted five days; Cao Cao presented a robe, Guan Yu wore it under the clothes, and covered it with the old robe given by Liu Bei, not daring to forget the old with the new; Cao Cao presented a red rabbit horse, Guan Yu thanked him, thinking that he would ride on this horse , you can meet Liu Bei in one day; Guan Gong kills Yan Liang and punishes Wen Chou; Guan Gong seals the gold with a seal; rides alone for thousands of miles, crosses five passes and kills six generals; brothers meet in the ancient city, etc.
From this point of view, Guan Yu is a very loyal person.
Cao Cao is a traitor and treacherous. Take his "coercing the emperor to order the princes" or his ability to govern the world, and his role in troubled times. It can be concluded that Cao Cao is a very treacherous person. The following is an example that reflects Cao Cao's treachery:
< p>The best example of Cao Cao's treachery is what happened during the war between him and Yuan Shao. At that time, the two armies were in a stalemate, and Cao Cao's army was about to run out of food and was helpless. At this time, there was a counselor in Yuan Shao's camp named Xu. You suddenly came to defect to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard the news. He touched his palms and laughed, saying that things would be easier if you come to Ziyuan, and then invited Xu You to the military tent. He sat down. Xu You asked, "How much rations do you have?" Cao Cao said, "I have enough rations for a year." Xu You said, "Wrong, please repeat." , half a year. Xu You said it was wrong again. He didn't tell the truth when he saw his old friend. Tell the truth and give you another chance.Cao Cao said, oh, sorry, I was joking just now. To tell you the truth, it is only enough for one month. Then Cao Cao said one of Liu Bang's favorite words, "What can we do about it?" What should we do? Xu You said: "The army is alone, there is no rescue, and the food and grain are exhausted. This is a critical day." It is said that you lead an army and go deep alone, and the food and grass are gone. This is very dangerous. Why? What to do? Let me tell you, Yuan Shao has hidden a batch of grain in such and such a place. If there is a certain path that you can go through, you can quickly ride to that place and burn the grain and grass. Within three days, Yuan Shao's army will be in chaos. Cao Cao said that was great, and then he personally led five thousand cavalry, took a small road overnight, put on Yuan Jun's clothes, met the sentry along the road and said that Mr. Yuan asked us to do something, and rushed to Yuan Camp. When Yuan Ying saw that Cao's army was coming to burn food, of course he fought desperately. The situation was very tense at that time. The people around Cao Cao ran over and said, "Mr. Cao, the enemy is coming." Cao Cao said, why are you panicking? The enemy won't say this again until they get behind me, go ahead. Then he burned all Yuan Shao's food and grass, thus reversing the situation.
