Chapter 63 The Three Kingdoms and Cognitive Dissonance
〖Good luck, Mr. Er! …
Guan Gong will be unforgettable forever. Good luck to Mr. Lu.
A cup of warm wine kills the enemy, a scroll of Spring and Autumn tells about loyalty, a moon-cutting sword is brave, a horse travels thousands of miles to find his brother, and he sings a long song to cry.
Suddenly I remembered Marshal Chen's handwriting: I am going to Quantai to recruit old troops, and I will kill Yama with a hundred thousand banners!
Even in the end, I still feel proud with my hands behind my back. I have no regrets and accept the sky in the peach garden. I bow to the peach garden, so loyal and courageous. 〗
The stern look on Guan Yu's face softened.
From betrayal to sneak attack, although I had been mentally prepared for it, I still couldn't calm down when I saw the light screen playing the moment of my death.
But listening to the monologue of the veteran who played himself and looking at the writing floating on the light screen, Guan Yu suddenly woke up.
Thousands of years later, his deeds are still praised, and descendants of 1,700 years can still cry for him.
As a general who cherishes defeat, he only regrets that Ping'er died as well. What regrets does Guan Yunchang, a veteran general, have?
Looking at the envious and regretful looks of the generals around him, Guan Yu laughed, his stern expression gradually disappearing.
[Looking at the Battle of Jingxiang, Guan Yu:
Retreat Lejin, fight Wenpin, defeat Cao Ren, destroy Yu Jin, suppress Xu Huang, kill Pang De, and 150,000 soldiers and horses surround this place.
Lu Meng set up an ambush, Lu Xun deceived him, and Sun Quan set up a conspiracy.
The uncle of the country was stabbed in the back. Thirty years ago, he surrendered to the city.
One county can fight with 30,000 soldiers all over the world. The flames of the Han Dynasty are finally extinguished, and it is difficult to hold back the sky with one hand. 】
"The descendants praise people in the same way." Zhang Fei was convinced: "But I like it."
"But if this battle with General Guan..." Zhao Yun shook his head, he really couldn't express his evaluation of Sun Wu.
Huang Zhong responded: "If nothing changes, and 30,000 naval troops rely on the Han River, Cao's thieves will not be afraid of him even if they arrive with 150,000 troops."
Huang Zhong has a say in the navy.
As for the battle against the world later, just pretend you didn't see it. Didn't you see that the lord's face was already dark?
[But as the saying goes, problems must be viewed dialectically. There are also shortcomings behind Xiangfan's difficulty in continuing the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
Our Chairman Mao once said eloquently: "We must make more friends and fewer enemies."
In 1925, he also put forward clearly: Who are our friends? Who is our enemy?
This sentence also involves the overall strategic mistakes of Shu Han:
Liu Bei and Kong Ming thought Sun Quan was an ally, but Sun Wu thought Liu Bei was too hateful! 】
Zhuge Liang took out a piece of Zhuge paper and copied these two sentences on it.
Liu Bei also came over to watch, shook his head and exclaimed: "The words are not packed with words, and the meaning is clear, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is a great truth in it."
"Perhaps it's because time and space are different for more than a thousand years." Kong Ming said: "The food, clothing, words and deeds of later generations are completely different from this time."
While talking, Kong Ming also remembered the red oil-floating crickets he saw that night, and really wanted to try them...
"Maybe it's more than that." Liu Bei sat aside and thought hard. He felt that the answer seemed to be right in front of him, but he just couldn't figure it out.
Huang Yueying also leaned over to read and sighed:
"This person's words are like the Great Patriarch and even better than the Great Patriarch."
Every time the people of the Han Dynasty think of their great ancestor, they also remember the numerous advisers and powerful generals. Isn’t the conflict between Chu and Han the most authentic footnote to future generations?
"The words seem very simple, but it is so difficult to do! Just like Xu Gongming in the light curtain just now."
Kong Ming was silent, Xu Gongming used his old love to win Guan Yu out of the battle and then rushed to kill him. Xu Gongming saw this point more clearly than Yun Chang.
Others were confused when they asked the latter sentence.
Ma Liang, who had returned, also asked Kong Ming for advice: "Military advisor, is Marquis Sun considered a friend?"
"Sometimes it counts, sometimes it doesn't." Kong Ming said meaningfully.
[There is an interesting argument in modern times that Sun Quan is a patient with cognitive dissonance. (Cognitive dissonance)
To put it simply, it is a mental illness similar to split personality. This analysis starts from Sun Quan’s life experience. 】
"What patient?" Jiang Wan suspected that he had heard wrongly, and when he looked up, he saw a string of Chinese characters.
"Let me just say that Marquis Sun is indeed ill!" Zhang Fei vowed.
"Mental illness? Is the disease in the heart?" Kong Ming frowned, feeling that his knowledge reserve since encountering the light curtain was obviously insufficient.
"Make a separate copy of the next one and send it to Divine Doctor Zhang." Kong Ming had no choice but to deal with it like this first.
I really want a copy of "Tiangong Kaiwu"! Kong Ming sighed.
[First of all, the young hero must have great ambitions, but Sun Ce saw through this younger brother early on.
When he was Tuogu, he said very frankly: You can't fight for the world, but I can't be as good as you for protecting Jiangdong.
Then before he died, he said to Zhang Zhao: If he can't do it, you can do it. If he can't do it, just go back to his hometown in Huaisi.
It was a slap in the face to Sun Quan in his prime. What was even worse was that Sun Ce's old team treated Sun Quan like a younger generation.
Zhu Baba, who was the most upright person in the country, commented on Sun Quan: "It is disrespectful to play with his subordinates, tease his subordinates and insult his father, which is a loss of etiquette for a monarch and his ministers."
It can be seen from the fact that Sun Quan only gave Sun Ce the posthumous title of King Huan of Changsha after he became emperor, and he was very concerned about this suggestion. 】
Without the Fanbang text, everyone can understand a lot from this simple explanation.
"If you lose the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, you will lose the majesty of the master." Kong Ming concluded.
As for the love and hatred in Sun Hou's family affairs, no one said much about it, but they also agreed with Guangmu's statement in their hearts.
No one knows how brave Sun Ce was, but he only fell behind King Huan of Changsha. Later generations will only laugh at Sun Quan for his narrow popularity.
"Adou is not also suffering from this disease?" Zhang Fei suddenly remembered and was shocked: "Brother, isn't what you said about entrusting the orphan to someone similar to this Sun Ce?"
Liu Bei almost lost his breath and said unhappily: "I was talking privately with Kong Ming! I didn't say it to Adou in person!"
"It's said to be a private conversation, but people will know it a thousand years later..." Zhang Fei pouted and muttered.
Liu Bei didn't care about these, but he had a lot of opinions about the four words "the most just gaining the country": Isn't it just enough for Emperor Gaozu to kill the white snake and punish the tyrannical Qin to gain the country?
At the same time, he felt that the name of this emperor was like a joke...
[The four generals of Sun Wu were also divided. Zhou Yu and Lu Su had the pattern, ability and vision, and wanted Sun Quan to swallow up the world.
Since Lu Meng and Lu Xun came to power, they have been eyeing a small piece of land, and their core idea is to protect Jiangdong.
The two extreme policies led to Sun Quan's wavering attitude, which led to the evaluation of Sun Quan by Ming and Qing historians:
He was repetitive, profit-oriented, used softness to overcome hardness, and had cunning schemes.
The one who wanted to keep Jiangdong and never dared to have the ambition to conquer the world was Sun Quan, and the one who never dared to have the ambition to conquer the world but forced himself to speak big words was also Sun Quan.
The two arguments of swallowing the world and defending Jiangdong brought out Sun Quan's cunning and repetitive character. 】
"Such an evaluation?" Liu Bei was shocked: "Does Sun Hou have other things that anger the heaven and the people?"
Jiang Wan was thoughtful and asked Kong Ming beside him: "The military advisor said that if Lu Su was still alive, Sun Wu would be friends?"
Kong Ming smiled but said nothing.
Zhang Fei's laughter shook the roof, and he was not satisfied with the crunch of a bean he picked up and chewed it in his mouth. Zhang Fei shouted:
"This is what future generations said, say more."
