The girl looks to be fourteen or fifteen years old, one meter tall and in her early fifties, with buds in full bloom, all her hair tucked behind her head, revealing a full forehead, and more delicate facial features.

The skin does not look fair, but a little dark. It should be because of frequent sun exposure, but this does not affect the girl's youth and cuteness, but is more healthy and energetic.

"Ouch! Little girl, you are unlucky, the vernacular version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was sold out a few days ago. Lao Sun replied with regret.

"That's it!" The girl couldn't hide her disappointment.

"What did you buy this book for?" Zuo Xiaoyou is a little curious, basically men watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and women rarely watch the Three Kingdoms, Zuo Xiaoyou guessed: "Buy it for others?" ”

"It's not." The girl shook her head: "I'll see for myself." ”

"Look?" Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the girl: "You like this kind of book?" ”

"I like it!" The girl said: "Recently, there is an excerpt from the textbook about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I like it very much, and I want to know more, but I ran a few bookstores, and they are all "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in Chinese, and I can't understand it." ”

"So you want to buy a vernacular version, right?" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled.

"Hmm." The girl nodded, unable to hide her disappointment: "But I searched for many people, but I didn't find them." ”

"There are very few vernacular versions." Lao Sun said: "There is no comparison of the original version, it is difficult to understand the meaning of the original text, and only people who have no knowledge can read this version...... Little girl, I don't mean you. ”

The girl retracted her eyes and asked, "Then can you still buy the vernacular version here in the future?" ”

"I'll keep an eye on it for you!" Lao Sun said: "But this kind of book is sold too slowly, and it can't be guaranteed." ”

"Oh."

Seeing that the girl's face was full of disappointment, Zuo Xiaoyou took out an original copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from the bookshelf and handed it to the girl: "If you want to know more about the content of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I can explain it to you." ”

The girl was stunned, with a little vigilance: "You ......"

"Don't get me wrong." Zuo Xiaoyou shrugged his shoulders and grimaced: "I'm not a good person. ”

“……”

"Hahaha......" Lao Sun slapped his legs and laughed, choked his throat with saliva, and coughed to practice: "You kid is really not a good person." ”

Zuo Xiaoyou glared at him: "Isn't it just to kill you for a price!" As for retaliating against me like this? ”

"Hahaha......"

The girl finally knew that this was the funny thing about Zuo Xiaoright, and couldn't help but smile, her eyes were crooked, and she was very good-looking.

……

"Speaking of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", we must first know what kind of book this is? At the same time, it is also necessary to realize that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not history, but a popular romance novel based on the historical events that occurred in this historical period. ”

In a cold drink shop, Zuo Xiaoyou and the girl sat face to face, eating ice cream while telling the girl the background of "Three Kingdoms".

"To put it simply, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a historical novel, with real people and events, but the detailed plot is basically made up, and it cannot be treated as historical facts."

"It turns out that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not history!" The girl sighed, and it was inevitable that she would be a little disappointed: "The story of Wangmei quenching her thirst in the textbook is not true?" ”

"I can't say for sure." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "This story comes from Liu Yiqing of the Southern Dynasty Song Dynasty "The World Says New Words, False Words". The content is probably like this: "Wei Wu marched, lost the road, and the three armies were thirsty, so he said: 'There is a big merlin in front of you, Raozi, and sweet acid can quench your thirst. When the soldiers heard this, water came out of their mouths, and they took advantage of this to get the source. ”

The girl blinked, as if with some adoration: "What you said is so good." ”

"Thank you." Left and right smiles.

"But I didn't understand."

“……”

After explaining the meaning of this text, the girl suddenly said: "It's similar to what we say in our textbook!" ”

It was originally a story, of course about the same.

Zuo Xiaoyou coughed dryly and said, "Because Wangmei quenches thirst from the Song Dynasty, I can't be sure if this incident really happened in history." But since it's documented, let's treat it as if it's true. ”

"Isn't that too lazy?"

Now Xiangjiang is in the period of British rule, science and education are more developed, and the most important thing in science and education is to be rigorous.

"Don't be serious with history, if you are serious, you will lose." Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head and said, "Only the general outline of history is correct, and no one can say the details clearly. When we treat science, we have to seek truth from facts, but when we treat history, we can do just that. ”

The girl thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay then! It's good to think that this story happened in history. ”

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled, took a sip of ice cream, and said, "But the story told in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", you don't take it seriously. It's enough to read a novel and find it interesting. ”

"Is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" so fake?" The girl was curious.

"I'll ask you a few questions." Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the girl's eyes and said, "Have you heard of the Taoyuan Three Knots?" ”

"I've heard of it." The girl nodded: "Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Taoyuan three knots." ”

"What about the three heroes fighting Lu Bu?"

"I've heard of it, too." The girl nodded.

"Pass five levels and kill six generals?"

"Yes."

"Warm wine to kill Huaxiong?"

"Yes."

"Borrowing the east wind?"

"Yes."

"Hmm." Zuo Xiaoyou stopped and sighed: "It's a pity that these are all fake." ”

"Huh?" The girl was stunned: "It's all fake? ”

"It's all fake." Zuo Xiaoyou said with certainty: "In history, none of these things have happened...... Oh, it's true that Liu Guanzhang bowed, but I don't know if there is a peach orchard. ”

"How could the Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu be fake?" The girl seemed to be very concerned about this problem, and her tone was a little excited.

"Don't get excited." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled: "Didn't I tell you!" The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a historical novel, not a historical fact, most of the stories in it are made up blindly, but they are very exciting, making many people think that this is what happened in history. ”

After a pause, seeing that the girl's mood had stabilized, Zuo Xiaoyou continued: "Do you know what historical background the Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu took place? ”

"I don't know." The girl shook her head, she didn't know much about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many stories were hearsay, and she only knew a few words, but what was the coherence of? It's not clear.

"This incident happened in the context of the princes discussing Dong." Zuo Xiaoyou explained: "At that time, Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, so he fled all the way and fled back to his hometown. Speaking of this, Zuo Xiaoyou interspersed another incident: "In the process of escaping, Cao Cao met Lu Bohao's family, and then Cao Cao mistakenly killed Lu Bohao's family, and said the famous sentence that has been passed down through the ages: 'I'd rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me.'" ’”

"So this sentence came from here!" The girl was amazed, and at the same time said indignantly: "Cao Cao is really a villain. ”

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled, did not defend Cao Cao, and continued: "After Cao Cao fled back to Chen Liu's hometown, he scattered all his family wealth, recruited troops and horses, and at the same time called on the world's heroes to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and then the princes met in Sour Zao, which is called the princes fighting Dong." And the Three Heroes Battle of Lu Bu took place in the process of the princes fighting for Dong. ”

"Oh~~, I see." The girl was suddenly, and then asked with great interest: "Then since this incident has happened in history, why is there no Three Heroes fighting Lu Bu?" ”

"Hehe...... "Zuo Xiaoright pointed to the original "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the girl's hand, and said: "You can look at the content inside, the princes ask for Dong, how many princes are there in total?" ”

"I'll see this later." The girl put "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" into her schoolbag and looked at Zuo Xiaoyou with a smile: "Brother Zuo, tell me, how many princes are there?" ”

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled helplessly and said: "In romance, it is said that it is the princes of the Eighteen Roads, but there are not so many in history. Of course, this is not important, the important thing is that one of the princes mentioned in the romance is Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping. This Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei are classmates, and you can understand the relationship between elementary school classmates. At that time, Liu Bei was following Gongsun Zhan to mess around, but in history, Gongsun Zhan did not participate in this princes' discussion of the directors. This indirectly proves that Liu Bei did not participate in this princes' discussion of Dong at all. ”

After a pause: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if Liu Guanzhang really participates, with their humble status, it is impossible to have the opportunity to perform meritorious service." The so-called Three Heroes Battle of Lu Bu is just a story made up by Luo Guanzhong in order to beautify Liu Bei's group. ”

"Liu Bei Group?" The girl had heard it before, but she became interested in the latter sentence.

"Yes." Zuo Xiaoyou said: ""Romance of the Three Kingdoms" tells the story of the three groups of Wei, Shu and Wu from their creation to their final belonging, among which Liu Bei, the founder of the Shu Group, is the head of this group.

Liu Bei was able to become the founder of the country from a weaving mat seller, and he was also concerned with Zhang Zhao, Ma and Huang Wuhu generals, as well as advisers like Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, especially the three visits to the thatched cottage to invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain, and created the foundation of Shu Han, he is simply the most ideal monarch in the hearts of the people in the world.

And Luo Guanzhong, who can write the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", is obviously a literati. He naturally prefers a monarch like Liu Bei, so the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is completely a novel that respects Liu and belittles Cao. If you think about it carefully, if Liu Bei's group was really as powerful as it was said in the novel, it would have unified the Three Kingdoms a long time ago, how could it be defeated by Wei and Jin and die II. ”

"Oh, Liu Bei's group is the Shu Kingdom established by Liu Bei!" The girl completely understood, and her tone was full of disappointment: "I didn't expect so many stories that have been passed down through the ages to be made up." ”

"It can't be said to be made up, but it also draws on some historical facts." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled: "And "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has made a very significant contribution. ”

"What can a book contribute?" The girl was puzzled.

"Think about it." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "If there is no "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", who will pay attention to this history? Who cares about what kind of people have come out of this history? Take you as an example, if you hadn't watched a short story in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", would you be interested in learning about this history? ”

The girl shook her head honestly.

"That's it." Zuo Xiaoyou said with a smile: "If there is no "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", this history will be the same as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, no one cares about it."

"What is the historical period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?" The girl asked.

"Look." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Even you, a middle school student, don't know, let alone those rough people." So the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is still valuable, at least let people understand this history. ”

The girl wrinkled her nose: "Okay! Although the story is fake, the characters are always true. ”

"Not really."
