The story summary and evaluation of the main tasks in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms

1. The Taoyuan Three Brothers: In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the government was corrupt, coupled with successive years of famine, the people's lives were very difficult. Liu Bei intended to save the people, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were willing to join forces with Liu Bei to do something together. The three fell in love and chose a peach garden behind Zhang Feizhuang. At this time, the peach blossoms were in full bloom and the scenery was beautiful. Zhang Fei prepared a green cow and a white horse as a sacrifice, burned incense and worshiped, and the oath was completed; the three recognized their brothers according to their age. Liu Bei was the elder brother, Guan Yu was the second, and Zhang Fei was the younger brother. This is the famous "Three Brothers in Taoyuan" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

2. Passing five passes and killing six generals: Guan Yu was separated from Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. Later, he got news from Liu Bei, so he immediately asked Cao Cao to resign, but Cao Cao avoided seeing him. In the end, Guan Yu could only Leave without saying goodbye. Since he did not receive Cao Cao's handwriting, he encountered obstacles at all levels along the way. However, Guan Yu relied on his own strength to pass through the five passes (cities) under Cao Cao's jurisdiction and immediately killed six of Cao Cao's generals. The original meaning is that Kong Xiu was killed when crossing Dongling Pass; Han Fu and Meng Tan were killed when crossing Luoyang City; Bian Xi was killed when crossing Sishui Pass; Wang Zhi, the prefect was killed when crossing Xingyang; Qin Qi was killed when crossing the Yellow River Ferry. Hence the name "Five Passes and Six Generals Killed".

3. The Savior Riding Alone: ??In the battle of Xinye, Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao with a small victory and a large number. Cao Cao led an army of 500,000 to take revenge. Liu Bei's three thousand troops walked to Dangyang County and were suddenly intercepted by Cao's soldiers. They fought until dawn to get rid of Cao's soldiers. Zhao Yun, who was guarding Liu Bei's family, discovered that Liu Bei was missing and separated Mrs. Mi, mother and son. They hurriedly gathered thirty soldiers. He rode on horseback and fought his way back to the rebel army to look for him. Zhao Yun fought with all the generals with might and valor. Cao Cao, who was watching the battle on the mountain, saw that Zhao Yun was unstoppable and ordered that he must be captured alive. Zhao Yun took advantage of this opportunity to break out of the siege, killing 50 Cao generals in a row, and finally handed Adou to Liu Bei.

4. Seven armies were flooded: Liu Bei proclaimed himself the Queen of Hanzhong, and Guan Yu personally led the army to attack Fancheng. Cao Ren, the Wei army guard in Fancheng, quickly asked Cao Cao for help. Cao Cao sent two generals, Yu Jin and Pang De, with seven troops to reinforce. While the two sides were at a stalemate, it rained heavily in the Fancheng area. The Han River surged, and the water in the plains was more than ten feet above the ground. Yu Jin's military camp was set up on flat ground. Floods came from all directions and completely submerged the military camps of the Seventh Army. Yu Jin and his soldiers had to swim to find a high ground to avoid the water.

Guan Yu had long grasped Yu Jin's weakness of camping on the ground. Taking advantage of the flood, he arranged a group of large and small ships and led the navy to attack Cao's army. They first surrounded the Lord in prison and asked him to put down his weapons and surrender. Yu Jin was surrounded on a small mound in the Han River and was forced to have no way to retreat, so he surrendered dejectedly. Pang De fell into the water, and Guan Yu's navy caught up with him and captured him alive.

5. Borrowing arrows from a straw boat: Zhou Yu saw that the resourceful Zhuge Liang was superior to him in every way, so he became jealous and even wanted to put Zhuge Liang to death. In the name of the shortage of arrows in the army, he came up with a plan and asked Zhuge Liang to make 100,000 arrows in ten days. From this, it seems that Zhou Yu is not only jealous, but also very insidious and cunning. However, the discerning Zhuge Liang agreed wholeheartedly, and took advantage of the heavy fog to "borrow" 100,000 arrows from Cao Ying in a straw boat, successfully completing the task seven days in advance, causing Zhou Yu's conspiracy to completely fail.

6. Burning Battalion: In order to avenge Wu's capture of Jingzhou and Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei led an army to attack Wu. In order to avoid the attack, Wu general Lu Xun insisted on not fighting, and the two sides became confrontational. During the Shu army's expedition, it was difficult to supply supplies and could not win a quick victory. In addition, the weather was hot after the onset of summer, so the vigor gradually lost and morale was low. In order to relieve the suffering of the soldiers from the scorching heat, Liu Bei ordered the Shu army to camp in the mountains and forests to escape the heat. Lu Xun saw the opportunity and ordered each of his soldiers to bring a handful of thatch. When they arrived at the Shu army camp, they set fire to it and attacked fiercely. The wooden fence of the Shu army camp and the surrounding trees were flammable, and the fire quickly spread throughout the camps. The Shu army was in chaos, and more than forty battalions were defeated by the Wu army. The success of Lu Xun's Burning Battalion determined the outcome of Shu's defeat of Wu Sheng in the Battle of Yiting.

7. Seven Captures of Meng Huo: Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu, received the edict of Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei Tuogu, and determined to expedition to the north to revitalize the Han Dynasty. At this time, the southern barbarians from the south of Shu invaded Shu again, and Zhuge Liang immediately ordered his troops to march south. When they arrived at the land of the Southern Barbarians, Zhuge Liang won a complete victory in the first battle between the two sides and captured the leader of the Southern Barbarians, Meng Huo. But Meng Huo was not convinced. During this period, Zhuge Liang used Ma Di's strategy of attacking Meng Huo's heart and captured Meng Huo seven times, but Kong Ming let him go. Meng Huo swore that he would never rebel again. Seeing that he was sincerely convinced, Kong Ming felt that he could be used, so he appointed him to take charge of the Southern Barbarians. Meng Huo and others couldn't help being deeply moved after hearing this. From then on, Kong Ming no longer worried about the Nanman and concentrated on dealing with Wei.

8. Borrowing the East Wind: Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu formulated a plan to attack Cao Ying with fire. However, the northwest wind has been blowing on the river for the past few days. Attacking with fire will not only fail to burn Cao's soldiers on the north bank, but will burn himself. Zhuge Liang said that he could borrow the east wind. He asked Zhou Yu to build a seven-star altar nine feet high for him, and then he performed the ritual on the altar. A few days later, the southeast wind blew, which laid the material foundation for the subsequent victory in the Battle of Chibi.

9. Empty City Strategy: During the Three Kingdoms period, the State of Wei sent Sima Yi to take command to attack the Jieting of Shu State, but Zhuge Liang sent Ma Di to garrison but failed. Sima Yi took advantage of the victory and led his troops to attack the west city. Zhuge Liang had no troops to meet the enemy, but he was calm and composed, opened the city gate wide, and played the harp on the tower. Sima Yi suspected that there was an ambush and led his troops to retreat. When he learned that Xicheng was empty and went back to fight again, Zhao Yun rushed back to relieve the siege.

10. Three visits to the thatched cottage: Liu Bei heard that Zhuge Liang was very knowledgeable and talented, so he, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went to Wollongong, Longzhong with gifts to invite Zhuge Liang to help him work for the country. It happened that Zhuge Liang was out that day, and Liu Bei had to go back disappointed. Soon, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei braved the heavy snowstorm to invite him for the second time. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang went out for a leisurely trip again, and it was only on his third visit that he saw Zhuge Liang. During this process, Liu Bei showed great patience and sincerity. This thing is called visiting the thatched cottage three times.

11. Baidi City Tuogu: Jingzhou was captured by the State of Wu. Guan Yu was defeated and captured. He refused to surrender and was killed. After Liu Bei heard about it, he mobilized all his troops to attack Wu and avenge Guan Yu, but was burned by Wu. After the defeat, he retreated to Baidi City and became ill. Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang: "If you think Adou is a fool, If he is worthy of being an emperor, you should assist him. If he is not worthy of being an emperor, you should depose him and become the emperor yourself." Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang immediately knelt down and said: I will assist Liu Chan wholeheartedly, no matter what. I dare to have the intention of becoming an emperor myself. I will definitely do my best until death. This is the White Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

12. Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe. Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and escaped. On the way, he went to his old friend Lu Boxe. Lu killed pigs to entertain guests. Cao Cao thought that General Lu was harming him and killed Lu's whole family. "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me" became his wise saying.

13. Kill Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu relied on his talent to be open-minded and violated Cao Cao's taboos several times. There are several things that can explain this: First, Cao Cao wrote the word "live" on the garden door to show off his talents, but Yang Xiu didn't give him face, so he wanted to break through Cao Cao's peepshow. No way - Cao Cao "taboos" this. Second, a guest from afar sent a box of cakes to Cao Cao, but Yang Xiu shared it with everyone. In the words of our modern people, it was a show of cleverness - Cao Cao's "evil". Third, Cao Cao wanted to warn everyone by killing him in his dream, but Yang Xiu wanted to expose it in front of everyone - Cao Cao "got more evil". Fourth, Yang Xiu told Cao Pi to secretly invite Wu Zhi, the leader of the Song Dynasty, to enter the inner palace for discussion, but Wu Zhi used a trick to frame him. Cao Cao believed that Yang Xiu was framing Cao Pi - Cao Cao "increasingly evil". Fifth, Cao Cao originally wanted to test the talents of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, but Yang Xiu insisted on teaching Cao Zhi how to do it. As a result, Cao Cao found out and ruined Cao Cao's good deeds - Cao Cao was "furious". Sixth, Yang Xiu answered questions for Cao Zhi, and Cao Cao found out about it - Cao Cao was "furious". These six things, step by step, forced Cao Cao to kill Yang Xiu on the pretext of the "tasteless" incident to "confuse the morale of the army", which also became an objective reason why Yang Xiu was rejected by Cao Cao.

14. Kill Hua Tuo. In order to build the first hall, Cao Cao personally cut down the pear tree in front of the Yuelong Temple with his sword, which offended the god of the pear tree. He had a nightmare that night. After waking up, he suffered from a persistent headache. He sought good doctors, but to no avail.

Later, Hua Xin recommended Hua Tuo to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao immediately sent Xing Ye to invite Hua Tuo to see a doctor for him. Hua Tuo believed that Cao Cao's headache was caused by a stroke. The root cause of the disease was in the head. It could not be cured by taking some decoction. He needed to drink "Ma Fei Decoction" (note: also known as "Ma Fei San"). An anesthetic invented by Hua Tuo), and then use a sharp ax to cut open the head and take out the "wind saliva", so that the root cause of the disease can be removed.

The suspicious Cao Cao thought that Hua Tuo wanted to take the opportunity to kill him and avenge Guan Yu, so he ordered Hua Tuo to be imprisoned and tortured, causing a generation of miracle doctors to die in prison. The Book of Nang was lost as a result.

15. Cao Cao killed the grain official. At that time, Yuan Shao's younger brother was named Yuan Shu. He was in Shouchun, Anhui Province. Because he got the emperor's seal, he thought that he was destined to be the emperor, so he proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun City. In fact, if you don't have enough strength, what's the use of having this seal tube? So Cao Cao wanted to attack him. But Shouchun City is not easy to conquer. After fighting for a while, it cannot be conquered. Seeing that the food and grass are running out, what should we do? He called the grain officer Wang Jie over and told him that from today on, you will put grain in my little bucket. The grain officer said that everyone can see that if the soldiers and officers don't have enough to eat, won't they complain to me immediately? Cao Cao told him, don't worry about it, I will take responsibility for you. Wang Jie could only follow his orders. Sure enough, the soldiers below were in an uproar because they couldn't eat enough that day. What should they do? Then Cao Cao called Wang Jie over again and told him that I wanted to borrow something from you. Wang Jie said that I had something to lend you, "your head", and wanted to borrow his head. This Wang Ge said that I am not guilty. You asked me to let Xiao Dou feed the grain. Why did you kill me? Cao Cao said that I know you are not guilty, but not killing you will not make the people angry, so I told him that from now on, I will raise your wife, children, and children at home. You can go in peace. Push Wang E out and behead him, and tell him Everyone, this is a matter handled by the grain officer Wang Jie. In this way, Wang Jie dedicated his life to Cao Cao's great cause.

16. "The horse trampled the wheat field and cut off the hair to replace the head". There was a battle and I was very happy to win. It happened to be that the barley was yellow in April and there was a good harvest. Because I was in a good mood, I gave an order that all the soldiers were not allowed to waste the grain. Anyone who stepped into the wheat field would be beheaded in public. However, Just after giving the order, his own horse was frightened by a turtle dove flying in the field. Then he stepped on a large wheat field by himself. What should he do? If you want to commit suicide with a sword, of course your subordinates will persuade you, Prime Minister, you can't commit suicide. What will we do if you commit suicide? Who do we rely on? He also points to you to unify the world.

So Cao Cao said, what should I do? Let me cut off a handful of hair. It can be regarded as my own punishment. When he breaks the law, a handful of hair will solve the problem. (Hair cutting: also known as "Kun" is a punishment second only to beheading)

17. Xuzhou Massacre. The philosophy of life he believed in deep in his heart was "I would rather let the world down than let the world down me." Lu Boshe's family, who treated him warmly, was ruthlessly killed by him without leaving any one alive. In order to avenge his father, he attacked Xuzhou, "killing all the people" and "leaving no chickens or dogs behind" wherever he went.

18. Cao Cao killed someone in his dream. Cao Cao told the attendants who were looking after him that he would kill people in his dreams to protect himself. In order to make everyone believe his words, he deliberately kicked off the quilt one night when he was sleeping. A servant who was very popular with Cao Cao picked up the quilt on the ground and covered it with his master. Cao Cao suddenly turned over and jumped up, drew out the sword on the bedside, and killed him fiercely. With one wave, the attendant died instantly. Cao Cao woke up the next day and still pretended to be confused. It made everyone believe that Cao Gong did have mysterious self-protection ability in his sleep. Only one person can see Cao Cao's tricks so clearly. This person is Yang Xiu.

When Cao Cao pretended to bury the attendant, he supported the coffin and said with a bitter smile: "It's not Duke Cao who is in the dream, but you are in the dream!" Seeing that Yang Xiu exposed his conspiracy, Cao Cao hated Yang Xiu deeply
