Chapter 598: Chain Knives! The Three Kingdoms in the Bleak Autumn Wind!

The death of Guan Yu!

As a representative figure in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu has a large number of fans all over the world, perhaps second only to Zhuge Liang and comparable to Zhao Yun. If the old thief let Guan Yu end his life in a heroic way, the audience might not feel so bad.

But in the end, he lost Jingzhou due to carelessness and fled to Maicheng. It was too...

As soon as this plot came out, there were some people who attacked the old thief, but they were very few. There was more grief and discussion about Guan Yu's death!

Some people said that it was caused by Guan Yu's own arrogant character, and some people had conspiracy theories that Liu Bei deliberately weakened Guan Yu's power and mistakenly caused Guan Yu's death.

Others said that it was caused by Zhuge Liang's struggle for power and status, and they all described many reasons and reasonings.

It's no wonder that many viewers have conspiracy theories or suspicions, it's really too strange.

You know, there is Cao Cao in the north and Sun Quan in the east. Guan Yu went north alone without any support behind him. Even if he was arrogant, what else could he do but seek death?

Moreover, even if Guan Yu was arrogant and didn't understand, didn't Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang understand?

Zhuge Liang was such a man of foresight, but after leaving Jingzhou, he didn't make any arrangements for Jingzhou?

The main inference of this argument is that when Liu Bei took Xichuan, Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and other brothers tried their best to persuade Liu Bei to become emperor, but Liu Bei refused and first proclaimed himself the King of Hanzhong. However, Guan Yu didn't want to do that in his heart, because supporting Liu Bei was a traitor to the Han Dynasty, and surrendering to Cao Cao was also a traitor to the Han Dynasty, so he led his army north to attack Cao Cao.

If it was a good result, it would be to successfully eliminate Cao Cao, support the Han Dynasty, and unify the world. The bad result would naturally be defeat and death.

Of course, these inferences have no evidence.

There is also a saying in the TV series that after Guan Yu heard Liu Bei proclaim himself the King of Hanzhong, he was slightly dissatisfied and said: "What title did the King of Hanzhong confer on me?", which means that he was dissatisfied with Liu Bei's title of king. More details should be found in the original work of the old thief.

But in the original work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is no such so-called evidence. The reason why Guan Yu was slightly dissatisfied was simply because among the five tiger generals, there was an "old soldier" like Huang Zhong, who was as famous as himself.

However, from this detail, it can be seen that Guan Yu was indeed arrogant.

...

In the old thief's work, the familiar knife comes again!

"I always feel that the knife rain is coming..."

"That's right..."

"Under the tide of history, these heroes will have their day of fall. I just hope that Zhuge Liang's death will make people less chest-beating."

"I still can't accept Guan Yu's death... It's better to die on the battlefield!"

Thousands of viewers are hotly discussing the plot development of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". You know, in 184 AD, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu, Guan and Zhang swore brotherhood in Taoyuan, and now, in 219 AD, more than 30 years have passed, and the situation has changed. Those heroes who were originally in their prime have gradually grown old.

According to the overall style of Lao Zei's work, I'm afraid that these heroes who were full of heroic spirit 20 episodes ago will gradually approach the end of their lives!

As they expected, before thousands of viewers could get over the grief of Guan Yu's death, another hero fell in the long river of history!

...

Just less than three months after Guan Yu's death, Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, was critically ill!

Cao Cao's headache became more and more serious, and he invited Hua Tuo to treat him. However, when he heard that he had to drink Ma Fei Tang, open his head with a sharp blade, and take out the wind saliva, Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, was furious. He thought Hua Tuo wanted to take the opportunity to avenge Guan Yu, and in a rage, he killed Hua Tuo directly!

The poor generation of "living dead, flesh and bones" famous doctors ended their lives!

"Damn! Cao Cao is sick!"

"Before Hua Tuo died, he handed over the medical book "Qing Nang Shu" that he had written throughout his life, and asked people to keep it properly and pass it on to future generations to save the world. With this kind of medical ethics, Cao Cao really judged others by his own standards!"

"Hero? Traitor!"

"Cao Cao is going to die too..."

"Oh my god, I suddenly feel that these twenty days... are really long..."

After Hua Tuo's death, Cao Cao's headaches were incurable, but even before his death, Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, had to set up 72 suspicious tombs to prevent future generations from knowing where he was buried.

From then on, a generation of traitors ended, and he died at the age of...

sixty-six!

As many viewers said, although they didn't like Cao Cao that much, they suddenly felt a little dazed when they saw Cao Cao die, and felt the sadness of history.

You know, twenty days ago, they were excited to watch Liu, Guan and Zhang swear brotherhood in Taoyuan, and Cao Cao's rise and expansion. At first, they regarded it as a simple TV series or a story, but now they see familiar characters die one by one, and they realize that all this may be the sadness of history.

It's as if they witnessed Cao Cao's life, Guan Yu's life, and their life from high spirits to sighing at the end.

History is ruthless and sad. It only gives people one chance. Once missed, there is no way to come back. Once wrong, there is no way to repent. Everything will be left in the hearts of future generations with the pen of the historian.

Even the long history of Xiazhou is just a drop in the ocean in the years of this earth, and human civilization is even smaller.

Many viewers thought they would feel happy when they saw Cao Cao's death, but when they really saw it, they were just silent.

In just a moment, the audience's emotional feelings of watching the drama completely changed, completely different.

Before, I was high-spirited, excited, and expectant, but now I am silent, serious, and sad.

Those wonderful stories and history, when I see them to the end, are all like this.

"Thousands of years have passed, Wei Wu waved his whip, and there are relics on the east side of Jieshi."

"Cao Cao is a hero in troubled times. He was just a little bit away from becoming a wise ruler, but the environmental conditions were not enough... It's a pity and sad..."

"Just unifying the entire northern China is a very remarkable thing."

"I still know about Cao Cao in history. He was not as sinister and suspicious as portrayed in "Three Kingdoms", otherwise the northern forces would not be unified."

"Yes, just from the poems and lyrics left by Cao Cao, you can know what kind of person he is."

"The only thing I regret is that Cao Cao did not usurp the Han Dynasty until his death."

"Cao Pi succeeded to the throne."

...

With Cao Cao's death in Luoyang, his son Cao Pi succeeded to the throne. This is also a history familiar to the people of Xiazhou.

It must be said that Cao Pi was also a capable and ambitious person. After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi took control of the power in a short time. During this period, there was also a classic plot, that is, Cao Zhi's seven-step poem.

The two were the protagonists of the dispute over the crown prince, but since ancient times, there has been only one king, so the mutual struggle between royal brothers is inevitable. In the final analysis, driven by power, Cao Pi had to kill him by the seven-step poem method. Who knew that Cao Zhi would write a poem within seven steps, which was sincere and sad!

The title is brothers, but the word brothers is not allowed to appear.

And this poem written by Cao Zhi can be said to have been passed down through the ages. Even today, more than a thousand years later, it is still being sung by people.

"Boil beans and burn bean pods, and the beans cry in the pot."

"We are born from the same root..."

"Fight each other..."

"Why are you so anxious."

It was this classic that made Cao Pi deeply moved and spared Cao Zhi's life, but demoted him to Anxiang Hou.

Since then, Cao Pi officially started the road to usurp the Han Dynasty.

In 220 AD, the Han Dynasty (Western Han Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty), the first golden period in the history of Xiazhou's development, ended. It experienced 29 emperors and lasted for 407 years.

Cao Pi proclaimed himself the emperor of Wei, changed the first year of Yankang to the first year of Huangchu, named the country Wei, and posthumously named his father Cao Cao as Emperor Taizu Wu!

Just half a year later, Liu Bei became emperor, made Liu Chan the crown prince, and appointed Zhuge Liang as prime minister.

Although Sun Quan of Dongwu had not yet officially proclaimed himself emperor, the three-legged tripod had already formed!

…

"What a magnificent history..."

"Heroes rose up to dominate the world!"

"Liu Bei wants to avenge Guan Yu."

"Oh, it's irrational. If Shu and Wu are both defeated now, it will definitely give Northern Wei an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"But Liu Bei is such a person, he can't be persuaded."

"Zhuge Liang really can't lead..."

"There's no way, I can only say that people are people after all, and there's no way to make decisions without feelings."

Countless people sighed.

Although Zhuge Liang and other generals tried their best to dissuade him, Liu Bei's determination to avenge Guan Yu and attack Wu became more and more resolute and could not be questioned!

This was the ancient times, the king's words were everything, even if it was a wrong decision.

Liu Bei ordered Zhuge Liang to protect the prince and stay in Xichuan, Ma Chao and other generals to guard Hanzhong, Zhao Yun as the rear response, Huang Zhong as the vanguard, and the army set out, heading straight for Dongwu! !

Although this decision was very irrational and the audience knew it, when they really saw the Shu army shooting by Lin Qiushi, they were still excited.

Only one person could remain rational and sigh constantly.

This person was naturally Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang determined that this move would inevitably fail, but he had no way to stop Liu Bei, and could only watch the army go away!

...

Familiar characters from the Three Kingdoms left one after another, and often the audience had not had time to accept the death of this character, and that character died again.

Three episodes are broadcasted in one night. These are three episodes of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The content is unimaginable. Often a lot of people die in one night.

To be honest, the death of these characters cannot be blamed on Lao Zei. After all, Lao Zei wrote the novel based on the history of the Three Kingdoms period. There must be such a day. But every time a favorite character dies, the audience still can't help but want to strangle Lao Zei.

After Guan Yu, Hua Tuo, and Cao Cao, it's Zhang Fei!

You know, Zhang Fei would scold his subordinates. This time, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were whipped fifty times by Zhang Fei just because they didn't find the white cloth used by the three armies to mourn and attack Wu. He was furious and said that if they couldn't finish it tomorrow, he would kill them as a warning to the public.

Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were forced into a desperate situation. They could only hide their short knives and touch Zhang Fei's tent when the moon was dark and the wind was high. They killed Zhang Fei, who even slept with his eyes open, and took his head...

Defected to Dongwu!

"Zhang Fei is dead too!"

"Oh my god! How many people died in the last few episodes?"

"Ah..."

"Every cause has its effect, but this kind of death is probably not what Guan Yu and Zhang Fei want."

"In the final analysis, they all died at the hands of their own subordinates. These two have too many character flaws."

"The knife is numb..."

...

Whenever a familiar character leaves, the audience will feel indescribable sadness.

Even if many deaths are caused by their own faults.

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it is the old Huang Zhong, one of the Five Tiger Generals! !

When Wu and Shu fought, Liu Bei was obsessed with hatred and attacked aggressively. Dongwu resisted vigorously. Although the veteran Huang Zhong was seventy-five years old, he was still one of the most reliable generals in Shu. He held a big sword and showed his majesty, killing several people in a row. Named General Wu.

But this battle was the old general's last battle.

The old Huang Zhong encountered an ambush by the Wu army on the battlefield, was shot by an arrow, and died on the battlefield.

Under such a crazy offensive, Soochow's side naturally did not gain anything. The Wu army was defeated one after another. Good generals such as Gan Ning and Pan Zhang were all killed on the battlefield. Liu Bei's army was so powerful that everyone was terrified wherever it went!

Unfortunately, the outcome of this battle did not go as Liu Bei wished.

After Zhou Yu and Lu Meng in Soochow, another pillar of heaven appeared. This man was named Lu Xun, who was far-sighted, loyal and upright.

After Lu Xun took charge of the troops of Soochow, he set fire to the company camp in the Battle of Yiling, defeated Liu Bei, and killed Liu Bei with only his own life, severely damaging the Shu Han!

If Zhuge Liang hadn't led his troops to appear in times of crisis, I'm afraid the Shu Han's vitality would have been completely wiped out by this battle.

…

But even so, after Liu Bei was defeated and entered Baidi City, he still couldn't get sick.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang don't say anything else, their friendship will always be there, and the vows they made back then are still in their ears. They don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but they want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day. If someone hadn't stopped them, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei might have followed Guan Yu on the day of his death. Guan Yu went.

Liu Bei's health was deteriorating, and knowing that he would soon die, he urgently summoned Zhuge Liang and others to accept his death. This is a classic...

Baidi City Tuogu! !

Of course, at this stage, most people in Xiazhou still don't know what kind of things this orphaned prince Adou will do in the future.

Liu Bei was left alone on his couch and died of illness in 223 AD.

In the same year, Mrs. Sun heard the news in Soochow and threw herself into the river. Zhuge Liang assisted Prince Liu Chan in ascending the throne.

…

"Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Cao Cao..."

"They're all dead..."

"Suddenly I felt very confused, as if the Three Kingdoms world in front of me was no longer the Three Kingdoms world I knew."

"Maybe this is history. The big waves have wiped out everything, leaving only wind and sand."

"It's only been broadcast for twenty days...how does it feel like twenty years have passed..."

Countless viewers sighed, watching those familiar characters die one after another, and the sad feeling just kept spreading.

This feeling is not sudden. From the moment Guan Erye flooded the Seventh Army, the whole work can be said to have continued the scene of vigorous vitality and all things competing.

But after that, the second general and the third general passed away one after another, the first master was defeated and died, leaving Baidi City alone, and a bit of the bleak autumn wind appeared in front of the screen.

This is true for TV series, not to mention the original novels.

The only thing that still makes the audience happy is that Zhuge Liang is still there and the Prime Minister is still there!

As long as the Prime Minister is here, there is still hope for Shu!

Zhuge Liang is like the last straw for the audience, looking for his familiar figure in this bleak world of the Three Kingdoms.

"Han Dynasty..."

"I'm afraid it won't happen again."

In fact, the audience all knows what the real historical process is, and they have no illusions that the old thieves will tamper with the real history.

Because of this, looking at the Shu Han after Liu Bei's death, he became more and more disappointed.

At first, everyone thought that as long as a heroic character died in a heroic way, not as painfully as Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, everyone would be able to accept it. But in fact, when Huang Zhong was shot to death by random arrows, Thousands of viewers are still feeling panicked, no better than before.

Liu Bei was scolded for almost three weeks.

From the day it aired, Liu Bei's character was not very popular with viewers and he continued to be dissed on the Internet.

But when Liu Bei was seriously ill and still missed him day and night, whispering about his second and third brothers, these viewers who dissed Liu Bei were still heartbroken.

I even felt why Liu Bei was followed to death by so many people.

In this world, I am afraid there is no king who is right in everything and rational in everything. There are only kings worth following.

The serial knives in these three or four episodes were so severe that the audience could only sigh slightly.

Regardless of the quantity or quality of the knives, they are both rare among the old thief’s works!
