Chapter 593 Zhuge Kongming!
Among general entertainment works, there are few theatrical plays that can make the audience so excited!
The main reason is that in the past, even in film and television dramas about history, dynasty changes were an important filming content, such as "The Romance of the Tang Dynasty" and "The Ming Dynasty", which are highly praised historical TV dramas in Xiazhou.
However, there has never been a TV series with a historical style like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which shows such an era when all the heroes came together. Therefore, Cao Cao and Liu Bei had a drink and discussed heroes. In the eyes of the audience, it was an overview of the overall trend of the world. !
It can be said that several major forces are divided into one side, and they all have considerable strength, and Cao Cao is even more powerful!
After Cao Cao let the tiger return to the mountains and released Liu, Guan, and Zhang from Xudu, he felt regret, because Liu Bei's power was gradually rising. Liu Bei defeated Yuan Shu in Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu died of illness among the ruins!
It was this key node that brought a turning point in Liu Bei's life. After defeating Yuan Shu in one fell swoop, he detained Cao Cao's 50,000 troops and horses in the name of guarding Xuzhou.
Although Cao Cao was furious, his current enemy was not only Liu Bei, but also a bigger opponent, and that was Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao listened to Xu You's words and raised 300,000 elite troops to attack Cao Cao!
Suddenly, the entire world situation became confusing due to the actions of these important figures!
…
Episode after episode of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" continues to be broadcast, and the amount of discussion on the Internet generated by each episode is unimaginably amazing, because everyone has never seen such a TV series.
Almost every day after the three episodes are aired, the general situation of the world will undergo earth-shaking changes. It is not the kind of TV series where three episodes are played in one day. As you can see from the front, Dong Zhuo only survived a few episodes if he was full...
"Liu Bei hasn't made up his mind to dominate the world yet..."
"Liu Bei is still a little indecisive."
"Liu Bei is far from Cao Cao's opponent now. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not counselors, but Cao Cao's counselors like Guo Jia are too powerful."
"Guan Yu surrendered to Cao?!"
"No, surrender to Han but not Cao."
When Cao Cao raised troops to kill Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, surrounded Xiapi with heavy troops, and forced Guan Yu to a desperate situation, for the sake of long-term planning, Guan Yu made an appointment with Zhang Liao and then surrendered to Cao Cao!
These three things include surrendering to Han but not Cao, treating his second sister-in-law with courtesy, and resigning once he learns of Liu Bei's whereabouts.
The implication is very clear, you, Cao Cao, want to be emperor, I will not follow you.
Cao Cao's ambitious passerby ring. Firstly, Cao Cao loved Guan Yu's martial arts and talents, and secondly, he needed Guan Yu temporarily, so he agreed. However, Liu Bei on the other side still did not have the attitude to dominate the world, losing Xiaopei, Xuzhou, Xia. Pi has no place to live, so he has no choice but to temporarily surrender to Yuan Shao!
As for Cao Cao's move to recruit Guan Yu, although he couldn't get Guan Yu's permanent "right to use", he could get Guan Yu's "experience"!
In the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, facing Yuan Jun's vanguard generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Guan Yu took the lead and killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, showing amazing strength and making the audience smack their tongues, saying that this is where they belong. Guan Yu, Guan Erye!
But Liu Bei misunderstood Guan Yu at this time, and Liu Bei, who did not know the inside story, wrote a letter to reproach Guan Yu for severing the relationship!
Only then did Guan Yu know where his brother was now. While crying loudly, he ignored Cao Cao's kind solicitation and all kinds of obstacles and searched for his brother thousands of miles away!
…
Why is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said to be a classic? It is so classic that almost every plot of it triggers thousands of discussions. It is because these classic plots have no room for rest.
First, Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and then Guan Yu traveled thousands of miles alone! !
The so-called riding a thousand miles alone, when Guan Yu learned of Liu Bei's whereabouts, he protected Liu Bei's two imperial wives alone, went through hardships and obstacles, passed five passes and killed six generals, and finally reunited with the Liu Bei brothers in the ancient city! !
"Damn! Guan Yu is so awesome, isn't he?"
"Guan Yu really puts his righteousness first, but Cao Cao surprised me. He let Guan Yu go just like that!"
"Cao Cao is a true hero, not a villain!"
"Cao Cao was originally a man who recognized talents and valued talents before promoting them. At first he appreciated Guan Yu's martial arts, but later he was moved by Guan Yu's righteousness. He is worthy of being a great hero of his generation."
"Cao Cao's heart is filled with the world, and his eyes see the world's talents, not just Guan Yu!"
"No wonder Cao Cao was able to leave those poems that swallowed up mountains and rivers!"
In this plot, the audience not only admired Guan Yu's bravery and righteousness, but also admired Cao Cao's heroic appearance!
"Viewing the Sea": To the east is Jieshi to view the sea.
"The Turtle is Longevity": The old man is brave and has ambitions for thousands of miles. The martyrs are still ambitious in their old age.
"Dan Ge Xing": Drinking and singing, the geometry of life.
…
These classic poems were all written by Cao Cao. You can imagine what kind of hero Cao Cao was!
But I have to say that Cao Cao let Guan Yu go again this time, which actually feels like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. While Liu Guan and Zhang reunited, on the Jiangdong side, Sun Ce, who inherited Sun Jian's legacy and commanded Jiangdong, had well-equipped troops.
Just when the audience thought Jiangdong would be led by Sun Ce to rise, Sun Ce died unexpectedly...
Because of his anger, the poison soaked into his heart and lungs. Before he died, he grabbed Sun Quan's hand and said: "If you are not sure about internal affairs, you can ask Zhang Zhao; if you are not sure about foreign affairs, you can ask Zhou Yu."
Sun Quan! !
This person also has a place in Xiazhou's history textbooks. After all, he was a key figure in the Three Kingdoms period. Like Cao Cao and Liu Bei, he also has a certain degree of popularity.
But for Sun Quan, there is no such detailed description in the textbook.
However, in the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after Sun Ce died at the age of 26, his younger brother Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong affairs, learned from the strengths of others, and recruited a group of knowledgeable people such as Lu Su, Zhuge Jin, and Gu Yong.
With the assistance of Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, he consolidated the foundation created by his father and brother, which is indeed outstanding!
It’s no wonder that Cao Cao later lamented that “having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou”. At a young age, he became the overlord of a party and did even better than Sun Ce!
And beside Sun Quan, there is also a counselor with extreme talents, this person's name is Zhou Yu!
Zhou Yu comes from a wealthy family, has a graceful appearance and beautiful appearance. He can truly be called a young hero!
In fact, by the time the TV series was broadcast, many viewers probably knew some history about the Three Kingdoms period, so they all knew that the world would be divided into three parts in the future, namely Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Cao Cao.
Therefore, the gradual rise of these three parties has made many people inclined to watch dramas.
After all, it is a TV series, and there is no distinction between justice and evil. Some viewers just like Cao Cao's heroic appearance, and some viewers just like Liu, Guan, and Zhang Taoyuan's three sworn brothers. When the events in Jiangdong are gradually revealed, there are many The audience fell in love with Jiangdong’s Sun Quan!
"When will the three parties compete for hegemony?"
"I'm really looking forward to it."
Many viewers rubbed their hands and said expectantly.
In history textbooks, there are only a few records about this period of history, including the fact that the Sima family finally became the victor. The records are not much. They only know a result, and the audience needs to see the exciting process.
…
During the time it was broadcast, the plot of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was full of climaxes!
But the first real climax came in episode 21, because starting from this episode, a battle that is famous in Xiazhou and has been passed down through the ages is about to begin, that is, the Battle of Guandu! !
The Battle of Guandu was naturally an unprecedented war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the two most powerful warlords in the north during the Three Kingdoms period!
Why is it said to have been passed down through the ages? Because this battle is a classic battle in which the few defeat the many and the weak defeat the strong.
Cao's army was exhausted and short of food, and Yuan's army was far superior to Cao's army.
Cao Cao's counselor Xun Yu believed that at this time, Cao Cao's army was weak and the enemy was strong. If the retreating troops would be pursued by Yuan's army, they must use surprise to win!
Cao Cao adopted Xun Yu's good strategy and skillfully used fire attacks to burn Yuan's army's food and grass.
The final result was that due to internal discord and pride, Yuan Shao repeatedly rejected the correct suggestions from his subordinates and repeatedly lost good opportunities. In the end, the morale of the army was shaken, internal divisions occurred, and the entire army was defeated!
"Holy shit!"
"Xun Yu is too strong!"
"The strongest counselor! I feel even stronger than Guo Jia!"
"Cao Cao can accept the suggestion, but Yuan Shao cannot!"
"This war scene, damn Ned, how much money did Chang'an spend on filming this TV series?!"
"This special effect..."
…
When the Battle of Guandu was broadcast, for the first time, thousands of Xiazhou viewers were extremely shocked by the visual effects presented by the drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Audiences with some ancient knowledge know that in ancient times, many military figures were falsely reported. For example, Yuan Shao ordered the three armies to quickly march to Guandu, with an army of 700,000, and camped on all sides in the east, west, south, and north.
Relatively reliable figures, after later research, the final figures are probably as follows: Yuan Shao's army has about 110,000 people, and Cao Cao's army has about 20,000 people.
For this battle, Lin Qiu really used hundreds of thousands of extras to complete the filming of an unprecedented epic battle scene in Xiazhou!
Coupled with Chang'an's post-production special effects, the scenes of the Battle of Guandu are definitely movie-level and unprecedentedly shocking.
Not to mention the entire TV series, just to take down these few episodes and put them on the big screen in theaters, these audiences are 100% willing to pay for it.
That is to say, starting from the plot of the Battle of Guandu, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" began to gradually rise from the position of a masterpiece! !
Become a Xiazhou classic, even a world classic!
…
Kyushu world.
The people of Kyushu know very little about the history of Xiazhou, and this battle of Guandu vividly demonstrated the ancient battles of Xiazhou and the role of counselors in ancient battles, completely intoxicating countless audiences of Kyushu In the historical world of Xiazhou!
Different states, different cultures, different histories.
In fact, every audience will be curious about these different cultures and histories. Xiazhou people will be interested in overseas history, let alone such a bright and fascinating history of Xiazhou.
In the West, names like Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Cao Cao seem to have gained a certain degree of popularity!
However, what all the viewers in Kyushu never expected is that the most famous character in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", a counselor, has not yet appeared!
…
It is said that after the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated the many with less, and then pacified Liaodong. After seven years of hard battle, he finally unified the north!
And the classic song "Viewing the Sea" was written on the way home, standing on a piece of rock on the edge of the Bohai Sea, looking at the turbulent sea, and looking back on what we have done in the past!
It is a pity that in this seven-year campaign, Guo Jia, a counselor who was very popular among the audience, died of illness at the age of 38. The history books called Guo Jia "talented and strategic, a rare man in the world", and Guo Jia deserved such praise.
"Ah, this is the ancient times."
"Really, these knives are unexpected, but so heartbreaking."
"The medical conditions in ancient times were too poor, there was really no way. In ancient times, people in their forties could be called old, so we often saw many ancient women giving birth in their teens, but there was no way to see the scene of four generations living under the same roof."
"Cao Cao unified the north, Sun Quan occupied Jiangbei, and Liu Bei, who was not up to the task, was still running around..."
"Really, Cao Cao had Guo Jia and Xun Yu, Sun Quan had Zhou Yu, and Liu Bei really lacked a brain."
Many viewers sighed like this.
From the first episode, Liu Bei had two words - surrender.
After surrendering to this one, he couldn't make it anymore, so he surrendered to another one.
If you can't make it anymore, find someone else to join you.
Finally in episode 25, Liu Bei woke up and knew he had to ask for help!!
"Damn it! You finally know it!"
The audience was so angry that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, together they couldn't make up the brain of a counselor.
Liu Bei came to Shuijing Villa and met Sima Hui, also known as Mr. Shuijing, and invited him to help him, but Sima Hui said this:
"If you get one of Fulong and Fengchu, you can pacify the world."
Fu means lying down, so Fulong is also Wolong, both of them are hiding in the wild.
It's just that the audience who don't have a deep understanding of history really don't know these two people!
Liu Bei, who was eager to seek talents, went to Longzhong to seek talents. At this time, neither Liu Bei nor the thousands of viewers in front of the screen realized what kind of person they were looking for this time...
"Three visits to the thatched cottage?"
"I have to say that Liu Bei can still lower himself."
"This Zhuge Liang feels like a very important character."
"Of course, with so many descriptions and at this node, it must be the key to Liu Bei's rise."
While the audience was talking about it, Liu Bei went to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times to invite him to help him conquer the world. Even though Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very unhappy, Liu Bei still insisted on doing so!
Finally, Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang.
At this time, Zhuge Liang had just woken up from his nap, but his appearance amazed the audience at first sight!
He was eight feet tall, with a face like a crown jade, wearing a turban on his head, a crane cloak on his body, and a feather fan in his hand.
At first glance, he looked like a master with a fairy-like appearance!
Zhuge Liang, whose name is Kongming and his nickname is Wolong!
