Chapter 2 Reading the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms

Those who read "Three Kingdoms" should know that there are differences between orthodoxy, intercalation, and tyranny.Who is the orthodox?Shuhan is also.What is the tyrant?Wu and Wei are also.What is the luck?Jin is also.Why can't Wei Zhi be orthodox?The theory of land is mainly based on the Central Plains, and the theory of theory is mainly based on the Liu family, and the theory of land is not as good as theory.Therefore, it is also a mistake in Sima Guang's "Tongjian" to give orthodoxy to Wei.The reason why Ziyang's "Compendium" is orthodox is the orthodoxy given to Shu. "Compendium" was written at the end of Emperor Xian's Jian'an, the first year of Zhangwu, Emperor Zhaolie of the later Han Dynasty, and Wu and Wei were annotated under it, and Shu was the emperor's helmet, which should be given; Wei was a usurper. what should be taken.In the past, it was written that Liu Bei raised troops in Xuzhou to fight against Cao Cao, and later in the book, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, sent troops to attack Wei, and the righteousness was clearly revealed through the ages.Husband Liu's family is not dead, Wei is not mixed, and Wei Gu cannot be orthodox.It seems that the Liu family has died, Jin has been mixed, and Jin cannot be orthodox, why?Said: Jin used ministers to kill the emperor, which is no different from Wei. After the first pass, Jue Zuo did not grow long, but it can be called leap luck, not orthodoxy.As for the Pian'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is even more impossible to return it to orthodoxy.Therefore, the annexation of the Three Kingdoms into the Jin Dynasty is like the mixing of the Six Kingdoms into the Qin Dynasty, and the mixing of the Five Dynasties into the Sui Er.Qin was only expelled by Han, and Sui was only expelled by Tang. The former orthodoxy was dominated by Han, while Qin, Wei, and Jin were incompatible, and the later orthodoxy was mainly Tang and Song, while Song, Qi, Liang, Chen , Sui, Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou are not allowed to be with Yan Er.Not to mention that Wei and Jin were not as upright as Han, even Tang and Song were not as upright as Han.Emperor Yangdi did not have the right way to do it in the Tang Dynasty. It is enough, but it is a pity that he cannot be called the Duke of Tang, add Jiuxi, and follow the same path of Wei and Jin, so as to achieve the righteousness of the world, which is not as good as Han.Ruofu Song established the country with loyalty, and many famous ministers and Confucian scholars came out of it, so those who advocate the theory give Song the orthodoxy.However, at the end of the Song Dynasty, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were not included in the territory, and their scale was already inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty. However, Chen Qiao's mutiny, the addition of a yellow robe, and the acquisition of the world by the hands of orphans and widows will make the world right, which is not as good as the Han Dynasty.Tang and Song are not as good as Han, so what about Wei and Jin?Emperor Gao prospered by eradicating the violent Qin and attacking Chu who killed the righteous emperor; Guangwu conquered the old things by punishing Wang Mang;Those created by the ancestors are upright, and those who succeed by the descendants are also upright. It cannot be said that the mixture of Guangwu and Wu is orthodox, and it is not orthodox to say that Zhaolie's partiality is not orthodox.Zhao Lie is orthodox, and Liu Yu and Liu Zhiyuan are also descendants of the Liu family, so they cannot be orthodox, why?Said: Yu and Zhiyuan are descendants of Han and Miao who are far away but have no conquests. They are not as close as the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan and can be tested. Moreover, the two Lius both won the country by usurping and murdering, so they cannot be combined with Zhaolie.In the later Tang Dynasty, Li Cunxu could not be orthodox, why?Said: Cunxu was originally not Li but was given the surname Li. He is not very far from Lu Qin and Niu Jin, so he cannot be combined with Zhao Lie.Li Shengzhi in the Southern Tang Dynasty could not succeed Tang Dynasty and become orthodox, why?Said: From generation to generation, it is better to compare with Zhiyuan, so it cannot be combined with Zhaolie.In the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Sheng could not succeed the Tang Dynasty and become orthodox, but in the Southern Song Dynasty Gaozong could only succeed the Song Dynasty and become the orthodox one, why?Gaozong established Taizu as the queen, and continued to extend the Song Dynasty, so the orthodoxy returned to Yan.The husband used Gaozong to kill Yue Fei and use Qin Hui, but he did not think of the two saints at all. The historians still regard him as orthodox by extending Song Zuo.Then there is no doubt that Zhao Lie is orthodox.Chen Shouzhi's "Zhi" did not have the time to distinguish this, so I compromised with Ziyang's "Compendium", and specially attached it to the Romance.

There are many ancient histories, but people only greedily read "Three Kingdoms", because the gathering of talents from ancient and modern times, there is no one that is as prosperous as the Three Kingdoms.It is not surprising to see talent versus lack of talent; it is surprising to see talent versus talent.It is not surprising that one talent meets all talents, but it is even more surprising that one talent wins when all talents are against each other.I think there are three wonders in the Three Kingdoms, which can be called three unique: Zhuge Kongming is unique, Guan Yunchang is unique, and Cao Cao is also unique.There are records in the history and records, and there are many sages and ministers, but Kong Ming is the most famous person through the ages.Playing the piano and hugging the knees in the place, she is actually a hermit and romantic, and the feather fan and scarf come out, which does not change the elegance and profoundness.In the thatched hut, if you know three parts of the world, you will reach the time of the sky; if you bear the weight of fate, if you go out of Qishan Mountain six times, you will do everything about human affairs.Seven captures and eight battles, wooden cows and horses, already suspicious of ghosts and gods, devoting themselves to the end, determined to kill them, still working hard for the minister and the son.Compared with Guan and Yue, he surpassed him, and Bi Yi and Lu Ze combined, he is the most strange person among the virtuous and wise men in ancient and modern times.There are records recorded in the history, famous generals are like clouds, and there is no one who is unparalleled and outstanding.Qingshi is extremely elegant when facing the green lantern; if the heart is as red as the face, it is extremely heroic.Hold the candle to the Dan, pass on its great festivals, go to the meeting single-handedly, and subdue its divine power in the world.Traveling thousands of miles alone, repaying the Lord's determination, explaining Huarong's righteousness, and repaying the kindness.Do things like the blue sky and white sun, and treat others like the moonlight and wind.The heart is Zhao Yu's heart to burn incense to tell the emperor, and it is more open; the meaning is Ruan Ji's white-eyed arrogance, but more serious: he is the most strange person among famous generals in ancient and modern times.The history has been recorded, and there are treacherous heroes one after another, but there is no one who is wise enough to attract talents and deceive the world, like Cao Cao.Listening to the words of King Xun Yuqin and comparing yourself to Zhou Wen, it seems loyal; deposing Yuan Shu's false title and willing to become Caohou, it seems obedient; not killing Chen Lin but loving her talent, it seems lenient; not chasing Guan Gong With the whole of its ambition, there is a sense of justice.Wang Dun can't use Guo Pu, but he can get scholars to surpass him; Huan Wen can't know Wang Meng, but he can know others and surpass him.Although Li Linfu can control Lushan, it is better to attack Wuhuan outside the Great Wall; although Han Wanzhou can demote Qin Hui, it is better to beat Dong Zhuo before his death.Stealing the handle of the country and keeping its name is different from Wang Mang's obvious regicide; leaving reforms for his son is better than Liu Yuzhi's eagerness to usurp the Jin Dynasty: he is the most strange person among traitors in ancient and modern times.There are these three wonders, which are unique in the history of the past and the future, so after reading all the histories, the more I have to like to read "Three Kingdoms".

It is true that there are three uniques in the Three Kingdoms, but I look outside the Three Kingdoms and look at the pre-Three Kingdoms and after the Three Kingdoms. Is there anyone who has strategized like Xu Shu and Pang Tong?Is there anyone who marches with troops like Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, and Sima Yi?Ask anyone who has made predictions, such as Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Bu Zhi, Yu Fan, Gu Yong, Zhang Zhao?Ask about martial arts generals, such as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xu Sheng, Zhu Huan?Ask if there are people who charge forward, should they be as sharp as Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhang Tai, Xia Houchun, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Tai Shici, and Ding Feng?Ask if two talents are equal, and two sages meet, such as Jiang Wei and Deng Ai who know the enemy wisely and bravely, and Yang Hu and Lu Kang who calmly suppress each other?As for Daoism, there are Ma Rong and Zheng Xuan; for Wenzao, Cai Yong and Wang Can; for Yingjie, Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu; for early wisdom, Zhuge Ke and Zhong Hui; Zhao Zi and Deng Zhi are the ones who humiliate the king's life, Chen Lin and Ruan Yu are the ones who are flying books, Jiang Wan and Dong Yun are the ones who treat troubles and dramas, Ma Liang and Xun Shuang are the ones who are famous, Du Yu is the one who is fond of ancient times, Zhang Hua is the naturalist. It is not easy to find other places to find one by one.But if you know the virtuous, you have the philosophy of Sima Hui; if you practice hard, you have the high level of Guan Ning; if you live in seclusion, you have the Yi of Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, and Meng Gongwei; if you disobey adultery, you have the righteousness of Kong Rong; There is the pride of Ni Heng, the strength of Ji Ping who scolds the thief, the virtues of Dong Cheng and Fu Wan who die for the country, and the festivals of Geng Ji and Wei Huang who donate their lives.When a son dies to his father, there is the filial piety of Liu Zhan and Guan Ping; when a minister dies to the emperor, there is the loyalty of Zhuge Zhan and Zhuge Shang; when a trilogy dies to the commander, there is the righteousness of Zhao Lei and Zhou Cang.Other early planners are like Tian Feng, hard-spoken like Wang Lei, steadfast like Jushou, unyielding like Zhang Ren, light on money and loyal to friends like Lu Su, unyielding in matters like Zhuge Jin, not afraid of the strong and powerful like Chen Tai, and seeing death like returning home like Wang Jing, Independence is like Sima Fu.Bing Bing Lin phosphorus, shining in the annals of history.For example, the former Fengpei Three Masters, Shangshan Sihao, Yuntai Generals, and Fuchun Guest Stars, and later Yingzhou Scholars, Linge Meritorious Officials, Cup Wine Festival, and Zhaishi Prime Minister, have been seen in different dynasties for thousands of years. When running together and gathering together in one of the Three Kingdoms, isn't it a metropolis of talents!Entering Deng Lin and selecting famous materials, visiting Xuanpu and seeing accumulated jade, there are too many harvests, too many to take in, I have admiration in the Three Kingdoms.

The book "Three Kingdoms" is the most wonderful article.The Three Kingdoms did not start from the Three Kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms must have a beginning, and the beginning was with Emperor Han.The Three Kingdoms of Syria do not end with the Three Kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms must have their own end, and the end is the Jin State.Not only that, Liu Bei was ruled as an emperor, and he was accompanied by clans such as Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Liu Yao, and Liu Pi.Cao Cao was autocratic with strong ministers, and he was accompanied by those who abolished and established such as Dong Zhuo, and who disrupted the country such as Li Jue and Guo Si.Sun Quan was divided according to Fanghou, and there were nicknames such as Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao who ruled the roost, and separate regimes such as Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Yang, Zhang Miao, Zhang Lu, Zhang Xiu, etc. to accompany him.Liu Bei and Cao Cao became famous in the first round, while Sun Quan became famous in the seventh round.The Cao family's decision to make a promise is all in the eleventh chapter, the Sun family's decision to settle Jiangdong is in the twelfth chapter, and the Liu family's decision to take Xichuan is after the sixtieth chapter.If today's people were barnyard officials, and wanted to draw out the story of the Three Kingdoms, they would have to describe the three people at the beginning, and each of the three people would occupy a country. Who is left and right?According to ancient stories, there are naturally such waves and layers of twists and turns to form a peerless and wonderful article. However, reading the book "Three Kingdoms" is better than reading the ears of thousands of officials.

If we talk about the founders of the Three Kingdoms, everyone knows that they are Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Cao Cao, but they don't know that there are differences among them.Both preparation and operation started their own business, while Sun Quan borrowed the power of his father and brother, the difference is one.Preparation and power are both related to the body and the emperor, while cao does not do it for himself and treats his descendants. There are two differences.The Three Kingdoms were proclaimed emperor, but Wei was the only one early, while Shu was proclaimed emperor after Cao Cao died and Cao Pi was established, and Wu was proclaimed emperor after Liu Bei died and Liu Chan was established. There are three differences.In the stalemate of the Three Kingdoms, Wu is the neighbor of Shu, Wei is the enemy of Shu, Shu and Wu have peace and war, but Shu and Wei have war but no peace, Wu and Shu have more peace than war, and Wu and Wei have more war than peace. The difference four.According to the biography of the Three Kingdoms, Shuzhi II, Wei Zezipi and Huanfan five masters, Wu Zeziquan and Haofan four masters, there are five differences.In the fall of the Three Kingdoms, Wu stayed behind, Shu came first, and Wei came next; Wei saw that it was captured by its ministers, and Wu and Shu saw that they were united by their enemies. There are six differences.It is not peaceful, but if it is used with power, the elder brother will end up with the younger brother; if it is used with Zhi, the younger brother will be abandoned and the older brother will be established; The minister and the son are the king: it can be said that there are irregularities and irregularities, and there is no way to change.Those who are not good at painting today, even if they draw two people, must have the same appearance; those who are not good at singing today, even if they sing two tunes, they must sing at the same time.Putting palms together in text is often like that.The ancients had no similarities, but today people like to read similar articles, so why not take the "Three Kingdoms" approved by Yu and read it?

In the book "Three Kingdoms", there are six episodes and six conclusions in the summary.His Xu Xiandi is based on Dong Zhuo's abolition and establishment, and Cao Pi's usurpation.In his narration of Western Shu, Chengdu is regarded as the emperor, and Mianzhu is regarded as a knot.In his narration, Liu, Guan, and Zhang were united by the Taoyuan knot, and by Baidi Tuogu.In the narration of Zhuge Liang, the three visits to the thatched cottage are regarded as one, and the six departures from Qishan are regarded as one knot.In his narration of Wei State, Huang Chugaiyuan was regarded as one, and Sima Shouchan was regarded as one.In his narration of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, Sun Jian's Nixie is regarded as one knot, and Sun Hao's Bibi is regarded as a knot.All these paragraphs of text are connected and interacted between them, or one side starts and the other ends, or one side does not end and the other starts again, you can't see the trace of interruption when you read it, but you can know it by yourself according to it.

The book "Three Kingdoms" has the magic of chasing the root and the source.The division of the Three Kingdoms is due to the establishment of the corners of the towns; the establishment of the corners of the towns is due to the chaos of Dong Zhuo; the chaos of Dong Zhuo is due to the summoning of foreign soldiers by He Jin;Therefore, the Three Kingdoms must be based on the ten permanent attendants.However, from the beginning of Liu Bei, he was not in the towns, but in the grasslands.The reason why there are heroes gathered in Fucaoze, and the reason why the towns are repaired and repaired is because of the chaos caused by the Yellow Turban.Therefore, the Three Kingdoms of Syria must take the Yellow Turban as the main point.But if the yellow scarf has not been made, there will be disasters and disasters from the heavens to warn them, and even more loyal and resourceful people will speak out and advise them in anticipation.Let the rulers at that time embody the benevolence of heaven and heart, and resolutely criticize the ten regular servants of the Naliang ministers, then the Yellow Turban can not be made, the heroes of the grassland can not be done, the military reforms of the towns can not be repaired, and the Three Kingdoms can not be done. Divide.Therefore, when describing the Three Kingdoms, it is traced to Huanling, just like the source of the river, there are stars and sea clouds.

The book "Three Kingdoms" has the magic of cleverly collecting illusions.Let Wei be merged with Shu, this is the wish of the people.If Shu were to perish and Wei to be unified, it would be a great injustice.It is because the will of the sky does not follow the wishes of the human heart, nor does it come from the great injustice of the human heart. It is the illusion of the creator.However, heaven neither favors the Han nor favors the Wei, so why not give it to Wu and must give it to Jin?Said: Wei Gu is also a thief of the Han, and Wu tried to harm Guan Gong, seize Jingzhou, and help Wei to attack Shu, so he is also a thief of the Han.If the Jin seizes Wei, there are those who seem to avenge the Han, and it is better to use Jin instead of Wu.And Wu is Wei's enemy, and Jin is Wei's minister, and Wei's minister kills the king, and Jin will repay it as it does, and it can be used as a warning to future generations in the world. It is the coincidence of the creator that the subject is quick.Illusions are unexpected, and coincidences are in people's minds. The creator can be said to be good at writing.Today's people must not be so illusory and so coincidental when they write, but why read the articles made by today's people when they read the articles of nature!

The book "Three Kingdoms" has the beauty of using the guest to set off the host.For example, I will describe the three brothers in Taoyuan, and first describe the three brothers in Yellow Turban: Taoyuan is its master, and Yellow Turban is its guest.After King Jing of Zhongshan, King Gong of Lu will be described first: King Jing of Zhongshan is his master, and King Lu Gong is his guest.He Jin will be described, and Chen Fan and Dou Wu will be described first: He Jin is his master, and Chen Fan and Dou Wu are his guests.Describe the excellence of Liu, Guan, Zhang, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian, and describe the uselessness of the princes of the towns: Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian are their masters, and the princes of each town are their guests.Liu Bei will meet Zhuge Liang, and first meet Sima Hui, Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, Meng Gongwei and others: Zhuge Liang is his master, and Sima Hui is his guest.Zhuge Liang lived through two dynasties, but there were Xu Shu who came first and left, and Pang Tong who came later and died first: Zhuge Liang was the master, and Xu Shu and Pang Tong were the guests.Zhao Yun served Gongsun Zan first, Huang Zhong served Han Xuan first, Ma Chao served Zhang Lu first, Fazheng and Yan Yan served Liu Zhang first, and then all belonged to Liu Bei: Bei was his master, and Gongsun Zan, Han Xuan, Zhang Lu, and Liu Zhang were his guests.Tai Shici served Liu Yao first and then Sun Ce; Gan Ning served Huang Zu first and then Sun Quan; Zhang Liao served Lu Bu first, Xu Huang served Yang Feng first, Zhang Tai served Yuan Shao first, Jia Xu served Li Jue and Zhang Xiu first, and then Cao Cao : Sun and Cao are their masters, and Liu Yao, Huang Zu, Lu Bu, Yang Feng and others are their guests.The prophecy of Dangtu in the Han Dynasty should have been in Wei, but Yuan Gonglu falsely promised himself: Wei is the master, and Yuan Gonglu is the guest.The dream of three horses in the same trough should have been in the Sima family, but Cao Cao mistakenly thought that Ma Teng and his son were the masters of the Sima family, and Ma Teng and his son were the guests.According to the theory of the Zen Terrace, Li Su used Dong Zhuo to earn money, and Cao Pi was the real one, and Sima Yan was the real one: Cao Pi, Sima Yan was his master, and Dong Zhuo was his guest.And not only people have hosts and guests, but land also has them.Emperor Xian moved from Luoyang to Chang'an, then from Chang'an to Luoyang, and finally to Xuchang: Xuchang was the master, and Chang'an and Luoyang were both guests.Liu Bei lost Xuzhou and gained Jingzhou: Jingzhou is its master, and Xuzhou is its guest.After gaining the two rivers and then losing Jingzhou: the two rivers are their masters, and Jingzhou is also their guest.Kong Ming will attack the Central Plains in the north and settle the Barbarians first in the south. His intention is not in the Barbarians but in the Central Plains: the Central Plains is its master, and the Barbarians are its guests.There are not only guests and hosts, but also things.Li Ru held the poisoned wine, the dagger, and practiced it in vain to benefit the emperor: the poisoned wine is its master, and the dagger, practiced in vain, is its guest.When Xu Tian made a siege, he told Cao Cao to shoot the deer, and then Xuande shot the rabbit: the deer is its master, and the rabbit is its guest.The soldiers of the Chibi stag will describe Kongming borrowing the wind, and first explaining Kongming borrowing the arrow: the wind is its master, and the arrow is its guest.Dong received the jade belt and accompanied it with a brocade robe: the belt is the master, and the robe is the guest.Guan Gong worshiped the red rabbit horse and accompanied him with golden seals and red robes: the horse is its owner, and the golden seal is its guest.Cao Cao dug the ground to get the bronze sparrow and accompanied it with the jade dragon and the golden wind: the sparrow is its master, and the dragon and phoenix are its guests.And so on, not all, those who are good at reading books can understand the law of the host and guest of the article here.

The book "Three Kingdoms" has the magic of the same tree with different branches, the same branch with different leaves, the same leaf with different flowers, and the same flower with different fruits.The writer is capable of avoiding good things, and is capable of committing good crimes.If you don't commit a crime but seek to avoid it, there is nothing to avoid it; but if you commit a crime and then avoid it, you will see that you can avoid it.If you remember Gongye, write about Empress Dowager He, and then Empress Dowager Dong; when you write about Empress Fu, you also write about Empress Cao; , and write a Beidi princess; write about Wei Zhizhen and Mao, and write another queen, but there is no word in between.To remember Qi Wan, after He Jin, he wrote Dong Cheng, and after Dong Cheng, he wrote Fu Wan; he wrote Zhang Ji of Wei, and Qian Shang of Wu, and there was no word in between.When writing power ministers, after Dong Zhuo, write Li Jue and Guo Si, after Jue and Si, write Cao Cao, after Cao Cao, write Cao Pi, after Cao Pi, write Sima Yi, and after Sima Yi, write Shi, Zhao Brother, after Shi and Zhao, he continued to write Sima Yan, and then wrote Sun Lin of Wu, and there is no word in between.Regarding the other brothers, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were at odds, Liu Qi and Liu Cong were at odds, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were at odds, Tan and Shang were both dead, Qi and Cong were dead and the other was alive, and Pi and Zhi were not dead. !As for marriage matters, Dong Zhuo proposed to Sun Jian, Yuan Shu engaged to Lu Bu, Cao Cao engaged to Yuan Tan, Sun Quan married Liu Bei, and proposed to Yun Chang. It doesn't make a big difference if it turns out to be successful, or if it's really agreed to but not fulfilled!As for Wang Yun's use of beauties, Zhou Yu also used beauties, and the effects of one and the other are different.Zhuo and Bu are hostile to each other, and Jue and Si are also hostile to each other, and one is stable and the other is not.Xiandi has two secret edicts, which are hidden before and then revealed; Ma Teng also has two times to punish thieves, which is revealed before and then hidden. This is the difference.Lu Bu killed his father twice, and the former was motivated by wealth, and the latter was motivated by sex;Zhao Yun had two kinds of saviors, the former was rescued by land, and the latter was rescued by water; the first was rescued by the mistress's hand, and the latter was taken from the mistress's arms, which are different.Ruo Fu wrote more than once about water, and more than once when he wrote about fire.Cao Cao has the water of Xiapi and Jizhou; Guan Gong has the water of Baihe River and Lukouchuan.Lu Bu had the fire of Puyang, Cao Cao had the fire of Wuchao, Zhou Lang had the fire of Chibi, Lu Xun had the fire of Huting, Xu Sheng had the fire of Nanxu, Marquis Wu had the fire of Bowang and Xinye, Panshe Valley and Shangfang Valley The fire, has there ever been the slightest violation?What's more, there are seven captures of Meng Huo, six captures of Qishan, and nine captures of the Central Plains.Wonderful!For example, trees are the same tree, the branches are the same branches, the leaves are the same leaves, and the flowers are the same flowers, but their roots are rooted and fragrant, and they are colorful and colorful.From this, readers can understand that there is a way to avoid articles, and there is also a way to violate them.

The book "Three Kingdoms" has the magic of stars shifting, rain turning and wind turning.Du Shaoling's poem said: "The floating clouds in the sky are like white clothes, so you must change into a gray dog."It is said that the world is unpredictable, and the text of "Three Kingdoms" is still the same.It was He Jin who planned to kill the eunuch, but he got the eunuch to kill He Jin, which changed.Originally it was Lu Bu who helped Ding Yuan, but he made Lu Bu kill Ding Yuan, which changed.It was originally Dong Zhuo married Lv Bu, but he made Lv Bu kill Dong Zhuo, which changed.It was originally Chen Gong who explained Cao Cao, but it was revealed that Chen Gong wanted to kill Cao Cao, which changed.Chen Gong didn't kill Cao Cao, but made Cao Cao kill Chen Guan, which changed.Originally, Wang Yun did not forgive Jue and Si, but instead killed Wang Yun with Jue and Si, it changed.Originally, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu were at odds, but Yuan Shu wrote a letter to Sun Jian, which changed.It was originally Liu Biao who asked Yuan Shao for help, but he made Liu Biao kill Sun Jian, which changed.Originally, Zhao Lie used Yuan Shao to beg Dong Zhuo, but he used Gongsun Zan to attack Yuan Shao, which changed.Originally it was Zhaolie who rescued Xuzhou, but Zhaolie took Xuzhou, which changed.It was Lv Bu who voted for Xuzhou, but Lv Bu took Xuzhou, which changed.Originally Lv Bu attacked Zhaolie, but he made Lv Bu welcome Zhaolie, which changed.It was Lv Bu who rejected Yuan Shu, but then Lv Bu begged Yuan Shu, which changed.Originally, Zhao Lie assisted Lu Bu to beg Yuan Shu, and then helped Cao Cao to kill Lu Bu, so it changed.Originally, Zhao Lie helped Cao Cao, but Zhao Lie made Zhao Lie fight against Cao Cao, which changed.Originally Zhao Lie attacked Yuan Shao, but Zhao Lie voted for Yuan Shao, which changed.Originally, Zhao Lie assisted Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao, and Guan Gong was used to assist Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shao, which changed.Originally, Guan Gong was looking for Zhao Lie, but Zhang Fei wanted to kill Guan Gong, so it changed.Originally, Guan Gong and Xu Tian wanted to kill Cao Cao, but then he made Hua Rongdao to release Cao Cao, so it changed.It was originally Cao Cao who pursued Zhao Lie, but then made Zhao Lie vote for Soochow to defeat Cao Cao, so it changed.It was originally Sun Quan who hated Liu Biao, but he made Lu Su hate Liu Biao and Liu Qi again, and it changed.It was originally Kong Ming who helped Zhou Lang, but Zhou Lang wanted to kill Kong Ming, which changed.Originally, Zhou Lang wanted to harm Zhaolie, but he made Sun Quan marry Zhaolie, which changed.Originally, Mrs. Sun was used to control Zhaolie, but Mrs. Sun was used to assist Zhaolie, which changed.It was originally Kong Ming who was mad at Zhou Lang to death, and then made Kong Ming cry Zhou Lang, and it changed.Originally, Zhaolie was not accepted by Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but Zhaolie borrowed Jingzhou, which changed.It was originally Liu Zhang who wanted to marry Cao Cao, but he made Ying Zhaolie, which changed.It was originally Liu Zhang who welcomed Zhao Lie, but Zhao Lie took Liu Zhang away, which changed.Originally, Zhao Lie divided Jingzhou, and Lv Meng attacked Jingzhou, which changed.It was Zhaolie who defeated Soochow, and Lu Xun defeated Zhaolie, so it changed.It was originally Sun Quan who asked Cao Pi for help, but it was discovered that Cao Pi wanted to attack Sun Quan, which changed.Originally, Zhao Lie hated Soochow, but Kong Ming made a good relationship with Soochow, which changed.It was originally Liu Feng who listened to Meng Da, but he made Liu Feng attack Meng Da, which changed.It was originally Meng Da who betrayed Zhao Lie, but it was revealed that Meng Da wanted to return to Kong Ming, which changed.Originally, Ma Teng and Zhao Lie were colleagues, but Ma Chao attacked Zhao Lie, which changed completely.It was originally Ma Chao who rescued Liu Zhang, but Ma Chao was forced to vote for Zhaolie, which changed.It was originally Jiang Wei who was the enemy of Kong Ming, but Jiang Wei was made to help Kong Ming, which changed.Originally it was Xiahou Ba assisting Sima Yi, but Xiahou Ba assisting Jiang Wei was made, which changed.Originally Zhong Huiji Deng Ai, but Wei Guan killed Deng Ai, it changed.It was originally Jiang Wei who earned Zhonghui, but he made all the generals kill Zhonghui, which changed.Originally it was Yang Hu and Lu Kang, but Yang Hu was asked to attack Sun Hao, which changed.It was Yang Hu who asked to attack Wu, but he made a Du Yu and a Wang Jun, which changed a lot.In terms of its echoing method, one must know that there will be a second volume after reading the previous volume; in terms of its inability to change, one will not expect that there will be a later volume after reading the previous volume.It can be seen that the essence of the text of "Three Kingdoms" can be seen, but it is unpredictable, and the fantasy of the text of "Three Kingdoms" can be seen even more. The book "Three Kingdoms" has the wonders of crossing clouds and breaking mountains, and crossing bridges and locking streams.There are those who are suitable for connecting, and those who are suitable for breaking.Such as beheading the general at five passes, visiting the thatched cottage three times, and capturing Meng Huo seven times, this article is more wonderful than Lianzhe.For example, three Qi Zhou Yu, six out of Qishan, and nine expeditions to the Central Plains, this article is better than Duan.If the text is short, if it is not narrated, it will not be coherent; if the text is long, if it is narrated, it will be cumbersome.Few of the barnyard officials in later generations can match this. The book "Three Kingdoms" has the magic of seeing hail in snow and hearing thunder in rain.If there is a paragraph of main text, there must first be a paragraph of idle text as a quotation; if there is a paragraph of big text after, there must be a paragraph of small text to start with.For example, to describe the fire in Cao Cao's Puyang, first write a casual essay about the fire in Mi Zhu's house; For the big essay, first write two small essays of Bowang and Xinye to inspire it; to describe the six chapters of the Qishan essay, first write a small essay about the seven captures of Meng Huo to enlighten it.Lu people will have affairs with God, and they must first have affairs with Pan Palace.The beauty of the article is that it is both positive and complex. The book "Three Kingdoms" has the wonders of ripples after waves and rain after rain.For those who are strange in writing, there must be a forerunner before the writing, and there must be more momentum behind the writing.For example, after Dong Zhuo, there was another follower of the thief; after the Yellow Turban, there was a remnant party to follow; after Zhao Lie visited the thatched cottage three times, Liu Qi asked Zhuge for a passage to reflect it; , There is also a passage of Jiang Weifa Wei's words that are rippling.Such things are not found in his books. The book "Three Kingdoms" has the magic of cold ice breaking heat and cool wind sweeping away dust.For example, when Guan Gong was beheading the generals at the Five Passes, there was a passage from Elder Pujing in Zhenguo Temple; when Zhao Lie was leaping over Tanxi, there was a passage from Mr. Sima in Shuijing Village; A passage from Yu Ji; when Cao Cao entered the rank of King Wei, he suddenly encountered a passage from Zuo Ci; when Zhao Lie visited the thatched cottage three times, he suddenly met a passage from Cui Zhouping who was chatting on the ground; Click on a paragraph of text.As for Marquis Wu's conquest of barbarians, he met Meng Jie, Lu Xun pursued Shu and met Huang Chengyan, Zhang Ren faced the enemy and asked Zixu's father-in-law, Zhao Lie attacked Wu and asked the old man in Qingcheng.Be it a monk or a Taoist, or a hermit or an expert, they all seek it in the midst of the hustle and bustle, which is really enough to make people clear their minds and wash away their troubles. The book "Three Kingdoms" has the magic of Sheng Xiao and drum, Qin and Se with bell.For example, in the main narrative of the Yellow Turban Disturbance, there is a passage of dispute between He Hou and Dong Hou Palace; in the main narrative of Dong Zhuo's freedom, there is a passage of Diaochan and Fengyi Pavilion; A paragraph of text; while describing the battle in Xiapi, suddenly there is a paragraph of Lu Bu sending off his daughter and Yan's love for her husband; while describing the battle in Jizhou, there is a paragraph of Yuan Tan's loss of his wife and Cao Pi's wife; while describing the Jingzhou incident, suddenly there is a paragraph of discussion by Mrs. Cai Text; while the battle at Chibi was going on, there was a passage about Cao Cao wanting to take Erqiao; while the attack on Wancheng was going on, there was a passage about Zhang Ji’s wife and Cao Cao’s encounter; when Zhao Yun was taking Guiyang, there was a toast from Zhao Fan’s widow There is a passage about Zhao Lie's struggle in Jingzhou, and there is a passage about Sun Quan's sister's bridal chamber; there is a passage about Sun Quan's battle against Huang Zu, and there is a passage about Sun Yi's wife avenging her husband; Sima Yi killed Cao Shuang, and there is Xin Xianying as his younger brother Draw a paragraph of text.As for Yuan Shao, when he begged Cao Cao, he suddenly brought Zheng Kangcheng's maidservant; when Cao Cao rescued Hanzhong, he suddenly brought Cai Zhonglang's daughter with him.And so on, and so on.People only know that the text of "Three Kingdoms" is about the struggle between dragons and tigers, but they don't know about phoenix, luan, warbler, and swallow. , I think that the biography of Haoshi and the biography of beauties are combined into one book. The book "Three Kingdoms" has the magic of planting seeds every other year and planting them first.Those who are good at gardening are planted in the ground, and they will grow when the time is right; those who are good at farming will be idle before dozens of plants, but they should be after dozens of plants.The method of article narrative is still the same.For example, Liu Zhang of Xishu is the son of Liu Yan, and the first volume will describe Liu Bei, and Liu Yan first, and made a fortune for taking Xichuan.When Xuande broke the yellow turban, he also narrated Cao Cao and brought Dong Zhuo along, laying down a fortune for Dong Zhuo's chaos in the country and Cao Cao's exclusive power.Zhao Yun returned to Zhao Lie when he was gathering righteousness in the ancient city, and when Zhao Lie met Zhao Yun, he laid down a fortune earlier than when Panhe fought Gongsun.Ma Chao returned to Zhaolie after Jiameng's battle with Zhang Fei, and Zhaolie and Ma Teng's colleagues laid down a fortune earlier than when they received the imperial edict.Pang Tong returned to Zhao Lie after Zhou Lang's death, and the boy said Pang Tong's name earlier than Shui Jingzhuang.Marquis Wu lamented that it is people who make decisions, and heaven that makes things happen. After the fire in the upper valley was extinguished, but Sima Hui did not meet the words of the time, Cuizhou said that the sky cannot be forced, and he laid down a stroke before Sangu thatched cottage.Emperor Liu Chan died in Shu for more than forty years, after one hundred and ten chapters, and the omen of the crane sounded as early as when Xinye was born.Jiang Wei's nine expeditions to the Central Plains came after one hundred and five rounds, and Jiang Wei, who was captured by Marquis Wu, made a fortune earlier when he first left Qishan.Jiang Wei and Deng Ai met after the three expeditions to the Central Plains, Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui met after the Nine Expeditions to the Central Plains, and Xia Houba stated the names of the two, and made a fortune before the Central Plains.Cao Pi usurped the Han in the eighty chapters, and Qingyun Ziyun Zhixiang made a fortune earlier than the thirty-three chapters.Sun Quan's arrogance came after the eighty-fifth chapter, and Mrs. Wu's dream of the sun was as early as the thirty-eighth chapter.Sima usurped Wei in one hundred and nineteen chapters, and Cao Cao's dream of a horse's omen was made as early as fifty-seven chapters.From then on, all foreshadowing points are invincible.Whenever I see that the barnyard officials in modern times are unable to adjust, they will give birth to a person out of nowhere and create something for no reason.Try to read the article of "Three Kingdoms", can you not be ashamed! The book "Three Kingdoms" has the magic of adding silk to mend brocade, moving needles and evenly embroidering.In any narrative method, what is lacking in one chapter is supplemented in another chapter, and what is more in the first volume is evenly distributed in the next volume. It also adds to the aftermath, and this historian is also a wonderful product.For example, Lu Bu took Cao Bao's daughter before he captured Xuzhou, but he narrated it when he was trapped in Xiapi.Cao Cao's dream of looking at plums to quench his thirst was originally on the day when Zhang Xiu was shot, but he narrated it when he was cooking wine with green plums.Guan Ning's division of seats was originally before Hua Xin's official career, but it was narrated after he broke the wall and took it.Mrs. Wu Mengyue was originally about to give birth to Sun Ce, but she narrated it when she was dying.Marquis Wu asked Huang's family to be the companion book before leaving the thatched cottage, but he narrated it when Zhuge Zhan died.And so on, also refers to invincible.The former can stay behind to respond to the future, and the later can reflect on the past, making people read it, and it is really like a sentence. The book "Three Kingdoms" has the beauty of thickly painting near mountains and lightly describing distant trees.The painter's method is that if the mountain and the tree are close, the thick and the heavy will be used; if the mountain and the tree are far away, the light and light will be used.Otherwise, the forests are far away, and the peaks and hills are stacked, how can they be drawn in detail one by one in the scale?Composition is still the same.For example, Huangfu Song broke the yellow scarf, and he could only inquire about it from Zhu Jun; Yuan Shao killed Gongsun Zan, and he could only inquire about it on Cao Cao's side; The killing of Yang Feng and Han Xian was only told in Zhaolie's mouth; Zhang Fei's seizure of the ancient city was heard in Guan Gong's ears; Jian Yongtou Yuan Shao was told in Zhaolie's mouth.As far as Cao Pi's three campaigns against Wu were defeated, the first campaign was written in real terms, and the two campaigns were written in fiction; when Marquis Wu retreated Cao Pi's soldiers from five routes, he only sent envoys to Wu to write in real terms, and all four campaigns were written in fiction.And so on, it is invincible.Just one or two sentences, I don't know how many things to cover, and how much pen and ink to save. The book "Three Kingdoms" has the wonder of Qifeng facing each other and Jinping facing each other.There are those who are right and those who are opposed to it. There are those who are self-righteous in one volume, and those who are far away in dozens of volumes.For example, Zhao Lie has grown up since childhood, and Cao Cao has been raped since childhood.Zhang Fei is blindly impatient, while He Jin is blindly slow.It is said that Wen Ming was Dong Zhuo Wujun, and it was Lu Bu Wufu who killed Ding Yuan.Yuan Shao's battle at Panhe was unpredictable, and Sun Jian's battle at Xianshan was unpredictable.Ma Teng is loyal to the royal family without merit; Cao Cao cannot be filial if he avenges his father but fails.Yuan Shao raised the three armies on horseback and came back, he was able to fight continuously; Zhao Lie captured the king and General Liu and returned to the army, he was outnumbered and followed the power.Kong Rong recommended Ni Heng as the best in black clothes, and Ni Heng scolded Cao Cao for being Xiang Bo's heart.Zhao Lie met Decao unintentionally, and Shan Fu came to visit Xinye intentionally.Cao Pi bitterly forced Cao Zhi to be born, and Zhao Lie cried bitterly to death Guan Gong, who was of a different surname.When the fire is extinguished in the upper valley, it is the number of Sima who will live;And so on, whether they are right or wrong, they are all in one round and they are right.If the relatives of the country are used to harm the relatives of the country, there will be no progress; if the relatives of the country are recommended, there will be no end.When Li Su talked about Lu Bu, he used his wisdom to help him from evil; when Wang Yun said about Lu Bu, he used his cleverness to practice his loyalty.When Zhang Fei lost Xuzhou, he made a mistake by drinking; when Lu Bu fell into Pi, he suffered by abstaining from drinking.Guan Gong drank Lu Su's wine with awe-inspiring power, and Yang Hu drank Lu Kang's wine with harmony.Kong Ming's refusal to kill Meng Huo is the benevolence of the benevolent, and it is the moment of a traitor for Sima Yi to kill Gongsun Yuan.Guan Gongyi's interpretation of Cao Cao is to repay his virtue, and Yi Deyi's interpretation of Yan Yan is to accept it for later use.Marquis Wu didn't use the strategy of Ziwu Valley, he planned carefully for the sake of completeness; Deng Ai was not afraid of the danger of Yinpingling, he took risks to get lucky.When Cao Cao was sick, Chen Lin cured him; when Wang Lang was healthy, Kong Ming died when he scolded him.Mrs. Sun is like a soldier, she is a husband among women; Sima Yi is a woman, she is a woman among men.If you take Shangyong in eight days, you will win with speed; if you take Xiangping in a hundred days, you will win with delay.Kong Ming's garrison of Weibin was the mastermind of the advance; Jiang Wei's garrison of Tazhong was a tactic of retreat.Cao Cao's acceptance of the nine tins of the Han Dynasty is Cao's disobedience; Sun Quan's acceptance of the Wei's nine tins is a disobedience of power.When Cao Cao shoots deer, his righteousness is obedient to the monarch and his ministers; when Cao Pi shoots deer, his affection is as good as that of mother and child.Yang Yi and Wei Yan compete with each other on the day of class division, while Deng Ai and Hammer Hui avoid each other when they use troops.Jiang Wei wants to follow Kong Ming's ambition, and human affairs are against the will of heaven; Du Yu can inherit Yanghu's plan, and the time should be human.And so on, whether they are facing or opposing, they are not in one round, but they are opposite each other at a distance.Sincerity in this contest and comparison of observations, isn't it not enough to quickly read the ancient chest and grow the knowledge of the theory? The book "Three Kingdoms" has a big echo from the beginning to the end, and a big lock in the middle.For example, the first volume starts with the ten regular servants, and the last volume has Liu Chan's favored and nobles to tie them together, and Sun Hao's favored and nobles to tie them together. This is a great echo.Another example is that the first volume starts with the sorcery of the Yellow Turban, and the last volume has Liu Chan's believer in the knot, and Sun Hao's believer in the magician, which is another great echo.Since the reference is at the beginning and the end, if there is no one in the middle of more than a hundred chapters that is consistent with the front and back, then it will not be in order.So there was Fu Wanzhi who asked the Yellow Gate to send a book, and Sun Liangzhi who inspected the Yellow Gate to steal honey to close the front and back; and Li Jue who liked the witch, Zhang Luzhi used the leftist way to close the front and back.If this is the case, it is created by heaven and earth to complete the structure of the whole article.However, it is more than that. The author's intention, apart from eunuchs' sorcery, especially focuses on punishing rebellious officials and thieves in order to attach themselves to the meaning of "Spring and Autumn".Therefore, the book mostly records the loyalty of begging thieves and the evil of killing kings.At the end of the first chapter, it ends with Zhang Fei's sudden desire to kill Dong Zhuo, and at the end of the last chapter, it ends with Sun Hao's implicit desire to kill Jia Chong.From this point of view, although it is called Romance, it can directly follow the Lin Jing without shame. The narrative of "Three Kingdoms" is as good as that of "Historical Records", but its narrative difficulty is twice as difficult as that of "Historical Records". 《史記》各國分書，各人分載，於是有本紀、世家、列傳之別。今《三國》則不然，殆合本紀、世家、列傳而總成一篇。分則文短而易工，合則文長而難好也。 讀《三國》勝讀《列國志》。夫《左傳》、《國語》，誠文章之最佳者，然左氏依經而立傳，經既逐段各自成文，傳亦逐段各自成文，不相聯屬也。《國語》則離經而自為一書，可以聯屬矣；究竟周語、魯語、晉語、鄭語，齊語、楚語、吳語，越語八國分作八篇，亦不相聯屬也。後人合《左傳》，《國語》而為《列國志》。因國事多煩，其段落處，到底不能貫串。今《三國演義》，自首至尾讀之，無一處可斷，其書又在《列國志》之上。 讀《三國》勝讀《西遊記》。《西遊》捏造妖魔之事，誕而不經，不若《三國》實敘帝王之事，真而可考也。且《西遊》好處，《三國》巳皆有之。如啞泉、黑泉之類，何異子母河、落胎泉之奇。朵思大王、木鹿大王之類，何異牛魔、鹿力、金角、銀角之號。伏波顯聖，山神指迷之類，何異南海觀音之救。只一卷漢相南征記便抵得一部《西遊記》矣。至於前而鎮國寺，後而玉泉山，或目視戒刀脫離火厄，或望空一語有同棒喝。豈必誦靈台方寸、斜月三星之文，乃悟禪心乎哉！ 讀《三國》勝讀《水滸傳》。《水滸》文字之真，雖較勝《西遊》之幻，然無中生有，任意起滅，其匠心不難，終不若《三國》敘一定之事，無容改易，而卒能匠心之為難也。且三國人才之盛，寫來各各出色，又有高出於吳用，公孫勝等萬萬者。 吾謂才子書之目，宜以《三國演義》為第一。 【前後二文及此後《三國志演義》中批語，皆出毛綸、毛宗崗父子也。 】
