Chapter 309: Cao Cao arrived

The fireworks that had obscured the sky finally dissipated.

The Wei, Shu, and Wu camps all expressed great satisfaction.

One person from each of the three kingdoms can go to Xianshan as a guest, and the fairy is really fair and impartial.

I just don't know when I'm going to go.

No matter what time you go, you have to get ready.

Cao Cao hurriedly ordered someone to prepare gifts, to have as many as possible, to please the fairy, so as to seek more benefits for his own side.

Liu Bei was also preparing things there.

Although their territory is not big, and they are not very rich now, they still have some good things, especially the Shu brocade that the fairy said.

The same is true on the Soochow side.

Sun Quan has occupied Dongwu for a long time, and the Dongwu business is also very good, this side is located in the south, there has always been a lot of water, there are many aquatic products, in addition to the fish and shrimp to eat, there are pearls, corals and the like.

I don't have to worry about it, I think that since I have already said that I want to invite people to come over, it is better to take the opportunity to get out the guest list, and save myself from inviting them one by one.

She smiled: "Since everything has been said here, let's simply say the list of treats, except for the three I just said, this time I also plan to invite Li Bai, Du Fu and Mr. Dongpo to come over, I don't know if the three are willing?" ”

That's definitely willing.

Du Fu had long wanted to thank the fairy, after all, the fairy saved his son, but unfortunately he never had the chance, this time he thought that he must thank the fairy in the past.

His family was poor, and he didn't have much to do, but he was still able to work, and after he went, he would do more work for the fairy.

Li Bai was even happier.

He is bent on becoming an immortal, and often wanders among the famous mountains and rivers, looking for traces of immortals, and now he has the opportunity to see fairies, how can he waste it.

When Su Dongpo heard that he could see Li Bai and Du Fu, he hurriedly said: "Willing, naturally willing." ”

Seeing that everyone agreed to come, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll invite the six of you to come when I get back." ”

After handling this matter, worry-free continued: "Let's continue, what I said above is the description of Zhao Yun in the romance, there are exaggerated elements, what does the real Zhao Yun look like?" ”

In 191 AD, the people of Changshan County, Zhao Yun's birthplace, discussed and elected Zhao Yun to lead the local righteous soldiers to take refuge in Gongsun Zhan. At that time, Gongsun Zan didn't expect Zhao Yun to come to him, so he asked Zhao Yun, aren't all of you people in Hebei willing to take refuge in Yuan Shao? How did you come to me? Zhao Yun replied, "Seeking refuge in you is the result of a discussion between the people of our county, and everyone is taking refuge in the Lord of Benevolence and Righteousness, and it is not my decision alone." ”

"At that time, Liu Bei was also attached to Gongsun Zhan, and he met Zhao Yun, Liu Bei admired Zhao Yun very much, and Zhao Yun was relatively close, and later Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao fought, so they sent Liu Bei to the front line to support, at that time, Zhao Yun went with Liu Bei, and also helped Liu Bei take charge of grain and grass, so that the relationship between the two people was closer."

"Zhao Yun's brother died, Zhao Yun had to go back to take care of the family, so he resigned with Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei was really reluctant to Zhao Yun, and he was reluctant to send him off, holding Zhao Yun's hand and being particularly reluctant to separate."

"After Zhao Yun left, Liu Bei thought that he would never see him again in the future, but he didn't expect that in 200 AD, Liu Bei saw Zhao Yun again, and from this time on, Zhao Yun began to assist Liu Bei, and has been following Liu Bei for nearly 30 years, and has participated in the Battle of Bowangpo, the Battle of Changbanpo, the Battle of Jiangnan Pingding, and the Battle of Irichuan, the Battle of Hanshui, and the Battle of Keigu alone, all of which have achieved very good results."

"After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were killed, Liu Bei wanted to avenge them, and at this time it was also a good time for Zhao Yun to persuade Liu Bei, so he thought twice, but Liu Bei didn't listen to Zhao Yun, and led his troops to attack Eastern Wu, and he never came back, and died directly in White Emperor City."

"After Liu Bei's death, Zhao Yun began to assist the young master Liu Chan until his death, although Zhao Yun was a military general, but he was not killed in battle, he died at the end of his life, and was posthumously honored by Shun Pinghou after his death."

"In the romance, it is said that Zhao Yun is still a pioneer in his seventies, this should be too exaggerated, Zhao Yun in the official history should not live to be more than seventy years old, Zhao Yun's birth date cannot be examined, we will calculate according to the time when he took refuge in Gongsun Zhan, generally speaking, the ancients recommended that the candidate to lead the army to fight must not be middle-aged or elderly, it must be young and middle-aged, according to Zhao Yun was in his twenties at that time, that year was thirty-eight years from the time Zhao Yun died, more than twenty plus thirty-eight years old, and Dingtian was more than sixty years old."

"But it's good to live to be in your sixties, after all, the ancients had a short lifespan."

Wuwu talked a lot in one breath, and after finishing Zhao Yun, he quickly poured several mouthfuls of water to moisten his throat.

"We're done talking about the handsome guys of the Three Kingdoms, let's talk about who we are?"

"I talked about Liu Bei earlier, now let's talk about Cao Cao, a generation of heroes in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms."

"Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a narrow-minded and treacherous image, and Cao Cao also appears as a traitor in later operas."

As he spoke, he played out a fragment of a joke song stored on his computer.

"The blue-faced Dou Erdun thief the royal horse, the red-faced Guan Gongzhan Changsha, the yellow-faced Dian Wei and the white-faced Cao Cao......"

Waiting for the clip to finish, Wu Wu explained: "In the later Peking opera, the actors' faces are differentiated, according to the color, generally speaking, the blue face is generally used for green forest characters, indicating that the character is strong and bold, and sometimes it represents the character insidious and cunning. The red face represents the loyalty, uprightness and bloodiness of the character, and the white face represents the treacherous villain......"

"For the performance of Cao Cao's image in opera, it should be influenced by the Ming Dynasty, or it may be influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"But what is the real Cao Cao like?"

"About Cao Cao, let's first talk about a few idioms and allusions related to him, and understand this character from some aspects."

"The first thing to say is an allusion, saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, which was widely quoted by later generations, describing that he arrived just after talking about someone. How did this allusion come about? It is said that Li Yu and Guo Yan joined forces to arrest Emperor Han Xian, and they were about to be cornered, and some of the people who followed and protected Emperor Han Xian came to offer advice, saying that it was better to ask Cao Cao for help. However, before the messenger set off, the coalition army had already been killed, and at the moment of life and death, Xiahoudun came to escort him on the order of Cao Cao and successfully saved Emperor Xian of Han. ”
