In literary and artistic creation, derogatory yoga is to praise and highlight Zhuge Liang's wisdom and talent. According to historical records, Zhuge Liang showed extraordinary wisdom before coming out of the mountain and analyzed the world situation for Liu Bei. After coming out of the mountain, it was only in this matter of Sun Quan's intellectual stimulation that he showed his talent. It was not until Liu Bei's death that he ruled Shu, and his talent was fully demonstrated by the expedition to the north. The whole creative context of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is based on Liu Bei Group, and Zhuge Liang is the key figure in the novel. After Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, he met such a major military action as Battle of Red Cliffs. If you don't highlight his talent, it doesn't meet the creative intention of the novel.
However, in order to show his talent, there is no evidence in history, so he made a lot of fiction, exerted his literary imagination and creativity, and took Zhou Yu as the opposite and foil to show Zhuge Liang's wisdom and talent. Only by suppressing the image of Zhou Zhuge Liang can it be established in Battle of Red Cliffs. Any literary creation is not random, but has a creative intention, and this creative intention cannot be separated from the author's political and ideological tendency and social ideological trend.
The story of the Three Kingdoms after Tang and Song Dynasties is characterized by supporting Liu against Cao and belittling Wu, which has been clearly reflected in Pinghua in Song and Yuan Dynasties. On this basis, Luo Guanzhong created The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and with his tendency to support Liu, it is not surprising that Zhou Yu became a victim and foil of his works. The question is why Zhou Yu was written in such a mess that he became the biggest historical figure in the romance. I'm afraid this has a lot to do with the dispute between Wu and Shu Jingzhou. Because Zhou Yu is a representative of Wu Dongying School, he resolutely opposes borrowing Jingzhou.
After Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhou Yu and Liu Bei pursued Cao Cao to Nanjun and jointly captured Jiangling. At the time of stalemate across the river, Liu Beinan took Jingzhou Wuling, Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang counties, while Jiangling was captured by Zhou Yu in the winter of 209, and Zhou Yu was injured by an arrow in the shoulder during the siege. In the same year, Sun Quan saw that Liu Bei had won four counties in the south of the Yangtze River and his strength had developed, so he married his sister to Liu Bei, a woman in the world, and consolidated the alliance between the two sides. After Zhou Yu captured Jiangling, he gave Liu Bei the land on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and Liu Bei was able to stay in the garrison camp. However, he thought that Zhou Yu had not given enough land to arrange his subordinates, so he went to see Sun Quan on 2 10 and asked to borrow Jingzhou.
Zhou Yu inquired about it and wrote to Sun Quan: "Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all generals, and he is not a long man. It's stupid, it's a stupid plan. Prepare to migrate, build a palace, let more beautiful women have a good time, entertain people's eyes and ears, and divide them into two people, each with its own side, so that people who do as well as others can have disputes and major events can be decided. Today, with the land cut as the capital, all three of them are on the battlefield. Dinosaurs have sex and rain, don't do things in the pool, and are lewd. " .
Because Zhou Yu opposed borrowing Jingzhou, he advocated destroying Liu Bei Group by detaining Liu Bei and dividing his troops to attack all the way. People who support Liu naturally bear a grudge against him and want to embarrass him in the story of the Three Kingdoms and shape him into a particularly narrow-minded figure. In the history of Zhou Yu, his biography specifically talked about his "sexual courage and success." He is not narrow-minded and very popular. Veteran Cheng Pu thinks he is old. He once bullied Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu didn't care. Later, Cheng Pu finally admired him from the bottom of his heart and said, "You won't get drunk after drinking with your bus friends in Zhou Jin." Cao Ganyou said Zhou Yu. Jiang Gan saw that Zhou Yu was too ambitious to speak. When I went back, I also said that Zhou Yu was "generous" and candidly admit defeat.
As the founding fathers of Wu Dong, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are brother and sister and brother-in-law. Mrs. Wu also told Sun Quan to "treat him like a brother", and now she has a high reputation. However, he always attached importance to assisting Wu's career, was open-minded, did not put on airs, took the lead in implementing the Minister's Day and respected Sun Quan. He is proficient in music, and Wu people have the praise of "there is nothing wrong with his songs", which shows that his daily style is also approachable. Zhou Yu was one of the outstanding figures in the Three Kingdoms period, both in terms of political ambition and talent. Sun Quan once said, "You can't be an emperor if you are alone." . He commented on Zhou Yu like this: "He is a brave and fearless person, so he broke through Meng De and opened up Jingzhou, which is unsustainable." Chen Shou believes: "Zhou Yu and Lu Su established an arbitrary wisdom. They are really wizards. " These comments are accurate, but unfortunately Zhou Yu died young. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang may not be so famous in the future.
