Yu is strong but conceited, Fei is violent but merciless. To win by shortcomings is normal in mathematics.
It is well known that Zhang Feigang is ruthless, violent and merciless.
What is noteworthy is that Liu Bei "knows that the flying general will fly to death before he sees him". This matter is not only seen in literary interpretations, but also stated conclusively in "Three Kingdoms".
The traditional view is that this incident is generally regarded as Liu Bei's deep brotherhood, and even suspected that Chen Shou was cheating; in fact, there is no mystery.
The key word is the identity of Zhang Fei's messenger, who is Fei's "camp commander".
Zhang Da and Fan Qiang killed Fei, took his head and ran towards Sun Quan. The Commander-in-Chief of Feiying reported to the late Lord. -- "Book of Shu Six Zhang Fei Biography"
The "camp governor" is the chief of the military leader's bodyguard, responsible for protecting the personal safety of the military leader. At that time, Zhang Fei was far away in Langzhong, but his camp commander rushed to Chengdu at night to see Liu Bei. It's self-evident why.
The person in charge of security was not on the front line to protect Zhang Fei's safety, but he rushed to the rear all night long and crossed several levels to ask for Liu Bei. The subtext was that "there was a big problem with Zhang Fei's personal safety."
Bei and Fei have known each other for many years and are well aware of his cruelty and cruelty; if there is a problem with Zhang Fei's safety, it will definitely be "dead and defeated". Therefore, there is the saying "Oh! Fly to death" that has been passed down through the ages.
The First Lord heard that Governor Fei was showing off, and said: "Oh! Fei is dead." - "The Biography of Liu Zhang Fei in the Book of Shu"
This matter has nothing to do with telepathy, but with telepathy. It's just natural.
This article*** has 4900 words and takes 10 minutes to read. Zhang Fei’s early life experience
Zhang Fei’s humble beginnings made Zhang Fei extremely inferior to his background. This is the actual reason why he "loves and respects gentlemen but does not care about villains" as an adult.
Zhang Fei was born in the military, he was fierce and good at fighting, and was known as "the enemy of ten thousand people, the general of bears and tigers" together with Guan Yu.
Although later literary works have closely related and interpreted Zhang Fei's early experiences, they are actually all untrue.
Common interpretations include "born as a pig butcher, and his family is rich in wealth"; and "face as white as jade, good at calligraphy", and even Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasty in "Swords and Swords" has "chiseled mountains and cast iron, Refining a magic weapon" and so on. All of the above are fallacious.
Zhang Fei’s early life is unknown, and his origin is also unknown. Lu Bi's "Ji Jie" contains all the books, but there is no record of Zhang Fei's events before he became famous. It can be seen that during the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties, scholars no longer knew much about Zhang Fei.
For example, Tao's "Records of Swords and Swords" was written three hundred years after Zhang Fei's death, and it has already made frequent mistakes. The inscription on the sword is "Shu Xinting Hou Dao".
"Shu" is a contemptuous name for Wei and Wu, while "Han" is the self-proclaimed name of Liu Bei's group. If the story of forging the sword is true, the inscription on the sword should be regarded as "Hanxixiang Hou Dao" and so on.
When Zhang Fei first paid homage to the Marquis of Xinting, he ordered a craftsman to make a sword made of iron from red mountains, and inscribed it on him as the Marquis of Xinting, General of Shu. -- "Records of Ancient and Modern Swords"
Zhang Fei ordered a craftsman to make a sword out of red mountain iron
As for the so-called "pig-killer", "white-faced man" and "calligraphy" "Home" and other detailed passages are even more ridiculous and not worth refuting.
Zhang Fei’s true origin can be gleaned from the conversation records between Liu Ba and Zhuge Liang.
Liu Ba called Zhang Fei a "soldier" (an insulting title), and Zhuge Liang also admitted that "Fei is a real warrior".
Ba said: "When a man lives in the world, he should make friends with heroes from all over the world. How can he talk to soldiers?" - "The Biography of the Sages of Lingling"
Zhuge Liang said to Ba: "Although Zhang Fei is a real warrior, he admires his subordinates." - "The Biography of the Sages of Lingling"
It can be seen that Zhang Fei was of ordinary origin and made a fortune in the military, which was a fact known to everyone at that time. Love and respect gentlemen but not disrespectful to villains
The original imprint often stays with you throughout your life. Those who climb high are inferior to themselves, and those who travel far away are inferior to themselves. It is nothing more than this.
Unlike Guan Yu, although Zhang Fei was of ordinary origin, he was particularly keen on "climbing the dragon and attaching himself to the phoenix".
In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the status of soldiers was low, and "warriors", "shixi", and "soldiers" were all insulting titles. For example, Wang Rui, the governor of Langya in Jingzhou, was killed by Sun Jian because he was "a warrior" and verbally insulted him.
Rui Xian and Jian's army attacked the Ling (Ling) and Gui (Yang) thieves, using Jian as a military officer, but they said it lightly. -- "Wu Lu"
Another example is Zhang Zhao's nephew Zhang Fen who joined the army and was ridiculed by Zhang Zhao, saying that he had "lowered his status" and so on.
(Zhang) Fen was twenty years old and built a large siege vehicle, which was recommended by Bu Zhao. Zhao was reluctant and said: "You are still young, why do you commit yourself to the army?" - "Wu Shu Qi Zhang Zhao Biography - Attached Biography"
In the context of "noble literature but low military", it is It led to many ridiculous things.
For example, Li Dian, a powerful man from Shanyang (Yanzhou), had three thousand slaves and more than ten thousand clans under his command, but he was "good at learning and respectful of wise men and officials" and was dubbed the title of "elder".
He is a good scholar, noble and refined, and does not compete with generals for merit. Respect wise men and officials, and if you are not as good as you are, you will be called an elder in the army. --"Book of Wei 18: Biography of Li Dian"
It should be noted that Li Dian was only thirty-six years old when he died. The so-called "elders" are just "good examples" created by the gentry using public opinion.
There are also Lingtong and two generations of generals from the Eastern Wu Dynasty who also love to respect the local sages and are extremely polite to the elders. Received praise from people at the time.
(Ling Tong) passed through this county and entered the temple gate. He saw the elder official's three-page greeting. He was respectful and courteous. He was close to his old friend and his kindness increased. -- "Wu Shu Shi Ling Tong Zhuan"
In this context, Zhang Fei also subtly contracted the bad habit of "loving and respecting gentlemen but not caring about villains".
Fei loves and respects gentlemen but does not care about villains. -- "The Sixth Biography of Zhang Fei in the Book of Shu"
Gentlemen and villains do not have the meaning of character, but metaphors of origin and status. To put it more clearly, Zhang Fei likes to cling to those in higher positions and those of noble birth; but he despises those in lower positions and those of humble origins.
For example, the Lingling Liu Ba mentioned above has been a high-ranking official for generations. Ba's father Liu Xiang is also the "official career leader" of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan. Therefore, although Liu Ba was "hated by Liu Bei for a long time", Zhang Fei knelt down and paid homage to Liu Ba, but was rejected and left in embarrassment.
Zhang Fei tasted Ba Su, but Ba said nothing, so Fei became angry. --"The Biography of the Sages of Lingling"
Contrary to "loving and respecting gentlemen", Zhang Fei was extremely capable of insulting warriors or subordinates.
For example, when he was guarding Xuzhou (196), Zhang Fei, Zhonglang General Xu Dan and Army Commander Ma Zhang deceived and provoked Cao Bao. In the end, there was a riot in Xiapi. Lu Bu took advantage of the situation and set fire to the city. He defeated the Fei army and beat Zhang Feixing until he ran to the stone pavilion at night.
Bei Zhonglang general Danyang Xudan sent Sima Zhang to deceive Yi (Lü) Bu at night, saying that Zhang Yide was fighting with Xiapi Prime Minister Cao Bao. Yide killed Bao, causing chaos in the city. -- "Heroes"
Another example is the Battle of Jiangzhou (213). Zhang Fei captured the guard general Yan Yan alive. He didn't know how to comfort him, and actually shouted, "Why don't you surrender and dare to fight?" Seeing that Yan Yan was not aggrieved, he actually wanted to "take the butt off".
Yan replied: "Your Majesty and others have invaded my state without permission. There are only beheaded generals in our state, but no generals who have surrendered." Fei was angry and ordered his heads to be chopped off. -- "The Biography of Six Zhang Fei in the Book of Shu"
Yan Yan refused to surrender, Fei was furious, and ordered the left and right to take the chopsticks
Although the matter was eventually resolved peacefully, Zhang Fei "despised warriors" But it can be seen. Otherwise, there would be no need to write a big book about "Yi Jie Yan Yan".
It is conceivable that in the past, the "villains" (warriors, people of humble origin) who fell into Zhang Fei's hands were most likely to be killed immediately.
If we speculate with the worst malice, Zhang Fei's marriage problem may also be a reflection of the reality of "loving and respecting gentlemen but not caring about villains".
Although Zhang Fei was not born in the same year, he "little followed the previous master's dealings", which shows that the two are similar in age. At that time (178-184) Liu Bei was "joining the Yi soldiers" in Zhuoxian County. He was only in his early twenties, so Zhi Fei was the same.
Zhang Fei's two daughters married Liu Chan as queens one after another. It can be seen that Feinv and Bei Zi are also similar in age. The problem is that Liu Chan was born to Liu Bei when he was forty-six years old. It can be seen that Zhang Fei gave birth to a daughter very late.
The queen mourns the queen, the eldest daughter of the chariot general Zhang Fei. -- "Book of Shu IV: Biography of the Second Concubine"
Fei's wife was Xia Houyuan's niece, and she "traveled to collect wood for Fei" in this county. The Qiao Peixia Hou family is a descendant of Xia Houying, the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, Teng Gong.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, in the thirteenth or fourth year of Shi (Xiahou) Ba Congmei's reign, he went out to collect firewood in this county and got it from Zhang Fei. Fei found out about his good daughter and took her as his wife. -- "Wei Lue"
As for the female family members who were "plundered" by Zhang Fei in the past, if they were of ordinary origins, it is not difficult to imagine what their fate would be.
Zhang Fei’s values ????can be seen clearly. Violent but ungrateful
The history of Zhang Fei's cruelty is endless; and his specialization in "taking care of subordinates" is even more abhorrent.
Zhang Fei is known to everyone for being "violent but merciless, ruthless and murderous". Similar martial arts are quite common, such as Gan Ning who is "rough and fierce and loves to kill", and Yu Jin who is "unbridled and murderous".
(Yu Jin) Wants to kill, and uses violence against everyone's opinions. --Pei Songzhi
Gan Ning was rough and easy to kill. He not only failed (Lu) Meng's wishes, but also violated (Sun)'s orders from time to time. -- "Wu Shu Jiu Lu Meng Biography"
But Zhang Fei is different from others because he likes to kill.
Zhang Fei's "excessive punishment" (Liu Bei's words) stems from his twisted psychology of "loving and respecting gentlemen but not caring about villains".
In other words, when dealing with high-ranking scholars like Liu Ba, Zhang Fei could still be polite and tolerant even if they were humiliated; but when dealing with low-status sergeants, Zhang Fei would show off his ability to kill indiscriminately.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei had known each other for forty years, and they had seen and heard about Zhang Fei's "violent abuse" and felt sorry for him. He would often be reminded in good faith to "restrain from torture", but Fei would "listen and not change".
The late Lord Chang Jie said: "Your punishment and killing are too bad, and you also whip the healthy children every day, and you have orders on the left and right. This is the way to bring disaster." Fei Yu is not afraid. --"Shu Shu Six Biography of Zhang Fei"
Zhang Fei also had the bad habit of abusing his soldiers.
Just imagine, Yan Yangui was the governor of Bajun, and Zhang Fei "led him to chop off his head"; Xu Dan, Cao Bao, and Zhang Jiao were responsible for guarding, but they were beaten or killed by Zhang Fei. If you treat middle and lower-level officers like this, what will happen to white soldiers?
According to what Liu Bei said, Fei seems to have a bad habit, whipping the army's health day and night, and displaying his lustful power. Liu Bei made a fortune in isolation, restrained his emotions and anger, had a good understanding of people, and repeatedly warned his third brother. As a result, Zhang Fei not only refused to listen, but also placed the whipped soldiers on his left and right to show off his abilities.
(Flying) The sun whips Laos athletes, but Ling is on the left and right. --"Shu Shu Six Zhang Fei Biography"
When Liu Bei saw this, he sighed, "This is the way to bring disaster."
The flying whip Lao athletes, but the order is on the left and right
When Liu Bei usurped the throne of Hanzhong, he gave Guan and Zhang "false festivals".
Guan Yu is easy to understand, and he has supervisors (Mi Fang and Shi Ren) around him, who take holidays to increase his prestige.
Zhang Fei’s holiday may have a deeper meaning. That is to say, Liu Bei deliberately restricted Zhang Fei's bad habit of killing indiscriminately.
The master bestows the sword on his subordinates, which generally has three levels. The highest level is "Envoy Chi Jie", who can kill high-ranking officials with less than two thousand stones; the second level is "Chi Jie", who can kill those who have no official status; the lowest level is "False Festival", which can only kill those who violate military orders.
Keeping the festival is the top, holding the festival is the second, and leaving the festival is the bottom. "Envoys holding festivals" can kill less than two thousand stones; holding festivals can kill people without official positions; if they are military, they can be the same as envoys holding festivals; on holidays, only military officials can kill those who violate military orders. -- "Book of the Song Dynasty, Records of Hundred Officials"
Guan Yu was on holiday, and if Mi Fang was late in transporting grain, he could threaten to kill him for "violating military orders"; the holiday was to increase his power and position. Zhang Fei was on holiday, but this was not the case.
According to the holiday, only "those who violate military orders" can be killed. Zhang Fei's jurisdiction (Langzhong) is not on the front line, so the probability of his subordinates violating military orders is relatively low. Therefore, Liu Bei's "holiday" to Zhang Fei was probably a deliberate restriction to avoid giving higher authority, which would lead to Zhang Fei becoming more and more indiscriminate and killing.
The question is, how often does the third master follow the law when he kills people? Under Zhang Fei's tent, if he coughed, he would be decapitated. Before Zhang Fei got a holiday, he was already riddled with bad habits; giving him a holiday only fueled his arrogance.
