At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wuyuan county, there was a young and strong warrior, strong in martial arts, brave and good at war.
Only to see him riding a red rabbit BMW in his crotch, holding a hundred refining spears, galloping like a fly on the battlefield, the arrows were not vain, and the eight princes were heartbroken.
Majestic, he rode all the way from the bloody battlefield, and everywhere he went, he set off gusts of wind and waves.
In the capital chang'an, he personally killed Dong Zhuo, the demon king of the mixed world, and became a great hero at the end of the Han Dynasty;
In Puyang, he almost captured the chaotic hero Cao Cao alive and rewrote the history of the Three Kingdoms;
In Xiao Pei, he did not have a bloody blade, only relied on one side to draw a sword, wisely retreated 30,000 male soldiers, and rescued Liu Bei from water and fire;
In Xuzhou, he even claimed to dominate the territory and became a prince of his own, once holding the capital to compete for the world.
Unfortunately, he was so heroic that he did not achieve great things in the end, but ended his young life with a light and fluttering ribbon.
What is left to posterity, in addition to his superior martial arts, is more of a much-criticized infamy.
He is the "invincible flying general" Lü Bu.
His short and tragic life tells us:
The pattern of being a person determines the end of life.
Even in the chaotic era of the clouds, people must have height, temperature, and a bottom line, otherwise the road of life will only become narrower and narrower.
Vision determines the realm of insight
As the saying goes, "A hero is born out of chaos." ”
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs were in charge, displaced people rioted, and the masses rose up, and the world of the Han Dynasty was already falling apart.
Lü Bu, who was born in poverty, although he had no power and no power, rarely read poetry and books, but with xiao courage, under the promotion of Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun and others, he gradually grew into one of the haojie in the early Three Kingdoms.
In particular, the cavalry he led was one of the few elite troops in the early three kingdoms, and it was almost invincible.
In 196, Lü Bu led his troops to sneak into Liu Bei and capture Xia Pi, and then defeated Yuan Shu, persuaded Xiao Jian to surrender, and took all five counties under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou into pockets, becoming a prince with extraordinary strength.
At this time, if the plan is proper, Lü Bu can not only compete with the central plains, but also choose the Ming Lord to be the talent of Wang Zuo, and even if it is not good, he can also divide and protect himself.
However, the brave and resourceful Lü Bu chose to enjoy extravagant pleasures, drinking and partying all day long, and even withholding food and grass from soldiers for himself to squander.
Man has no far-sighted worries, but will have near-term worries.
Not long after Lü Bu's days of anle, 50,000 Cao troops were already on the verge of falling, and he quickly summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.
Chen Gong, a strategist, proposed: "The Buqi soldiers outside the city, taking advantage of the fact that their thousands of miles of attack are undecided, and if they are not prepared to attack them, they will certainly be able to break the enemy army." ”
To be sure, this is indeed a good way to turn the tide.
Lü Bu disagreed: "Since ancient times, it takes twice as much effort to attack the city than to defend the city, so it is better to wait for the enemy to come to the city, and when his attack is tired, he will attack with an iron horse." ”
The arrogant Lü Bu thought that his iron cavalry could always be invincible and kill all sides.
Clinker, Cao Cao already had a good plan to deal with it, he nearly a thousand large vehicles were connected end to end, building a strong defensive line on the periphery to block the cavalry, and the inner perimeter was equipped with strong bows and arrows to defeat Lü Bu.
Seeing that the city would be lost, Chen Gong offered another plan: "Cao Jun's grain and grass are limited, if the general leads the army outside the city, I will defend the city, so that the front and back attacks will be each other's horns, and within January, the Cao army will inevitably retreat." ”
Lü Bulian exclaimed, "Wonderful, wonderful." ”
Unexpectedly, when he went home to pack his bags, his wife cried, "The general is far away, if there is a change in the city, can the concubine still be the general's wife?" ”
There is a saying that goes, "Children are long, heroes are short." ”
Looking at the tearful-eyed wife and concubine, Lü Bu suddenly had no fighting spirit, never mentioned the breakthrough again, and was so angry that Chen Gong pounded his chest and stomped his feet, shouting directly, "I have no place to die."
As Mao Zonggang commented, "Those who love wives and concubines are like fish swimming in a kettle." ”
At the moment of the great enemy, Lü Bu was bent on personal gains and losses, missing good opportunities again and again, and finally could only sit helplessly like a fish swimming in the pot, helplessly waiting to die.
Temperament determines the temperature of being a person
Mencius once said, "He who loves others will always love him; he who respects others will always respect him." ”
Between people, there is an emotional account.
Only by paying sincerity can we reap warmth; giving cold ice can only get coldness.
Lü Bu's subordinates also had a wealth of talents, but he was brave and brave, often arrogant and conceited, and rarely had the grace to tolerate people.
Gao Shun had courage and strategy, and ruled the army well, and in the Battle of Puyang, he used the technique of attacking the west with his voice from the east to defeat several generals of the Cao Army, and took 5 large villages in succession.
In the Battle of Xuzhou, he smashed the rear of the Cao Army with a broken bamboo momentum, causing Xiahou Huan to almost lose his other eye.
What is even more rare is that Gao Shun was loyal to Lü Bu, and based on the accent clues alone, he quickly corrected the rebels who assassinated Lü Bu, making a rebellion invisible.
However, Lü Bu not only did not reuse Gao Shun, but also worried that he would be able to shock the lord and seize his military power, and whenever the enemy was facing, he let him lead his troops to charge forward.
Although Gao Shun had no complaints, the situation of the loyal and capable person was so tragic, how could he not make others feel uneasy.
In fact, everyone has a shot in their heart, not angry, but not sad.
In 199 AD, Xia Pi was trapped for several months and had no hope of breaking through, and the hearts of the people in the army were floating, and someone stole 15 war horses from the general Hou Cheng to surrender to the Cao army.
Fortunately, Hou Cheng found out in time, recaptured the war horse, and recovered the loss.
The generals came to celebrate, and Hou Cheng was very happy, and personally invited Lü Bu to drink with him with fine wine.
Unexpectedly, when Lü Bu was in a troubled mood, he angrily rebuked: "I just issued a prohibition order, but you gathered the generals to drink, are you trying to rebel and murder me?" ”
Immediately, Lü Bu kicked Hou Cheng over and ordered the man to push out and cut him.
The generals pleaded bitterly, and Lü Bu withdrew his life and instead beat fifty flowers with a staff.
In the world, the most rare thing is the human heart, and the most vulnerable is also the human heart.
Hou Cheng did not drink the wine, and almost lost his life, although he was beaten alone, but the cold was the heart of the generals.
That night, Hou Cheng's friends Song Xian, Wei Xu, and others came to visit, and all of them said angrily: "Bu only loves his wife, and regards me as a grass mustard, he has no benevolence and no righteousness, I am waiting to abandon him and leave, why not?" ”
The three of them said that they would do it, Hou Cheng took advantage of the night to steal the red rabbit horse and surrender to Cao Cao, while Song and Wei did the inner response to open the city gates to welcome Cao Jun, and kidnapped Lü Bu while Lü Bu was asleep.
As the saying goes, if you make others chill, others will be dead to you.
A generation of invincible flying generals has thus become a prisoner of the order to be slaughtered, and his life has come to an end.
Character determines the end of life
After Lü Bu was captured, he was tied up and sent to Cao Cao's hall.
Cao Cao had not yet spoken, but Lü Bu shouted, "From now on, the world will be decided." ”
Cao Cao asked in surprise, "How do you mean this?" ”
Lü Bu replied proudly, "Ming Gong, isn't what you are most worried about is me Lü Bu, now that I am submitting to you, I will lead the cavalry and you will lead the infantry, so why worry about not being able to calm the world!" ”
Cao Cao, who was eclectic and demoted, could not help but be a little moved, if Lü Bu could really submit sincerely, he would be able to add wings to the tiger, he raised his hand, ready to order the guards to loosen their bindings.
At this moment, Liu Bei hurriedly reminded: "No, has Ming Gong forgotten the end of Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhuo?" ”
A word awakened the dreamer, Lü Bu was still able to pick up the knife against his righteous father, who could guarantee that he would not have a different heart in the future.
Cao Cao immediately drank the guards, and ordered on the spot that Lü Bu be pushed out of the lobby, hanged with a ribbon and then beheaded for public display.
The reluctant Lü Bu angrily scolded Liu Bei: "Big ears, the most untrustworthy, don't you remember the yuanmen shooting?" ”
He didn't understand until his death that he had run around and had helped others, so why did the generals of the Kanto not tolerate him and wanted to kill him?
In fact, everything has a cause and effect, and it is not the ability to fight in the end, but the character.
As early as when Lü Bu stabbed his righteous father Ding Yuan to death with a sword, his tragic end had already been foreshadowed.
Because for Lü Bu, Ding Yuan is not only his benefactor, but also a righteous father who is kind to his father and son, and who loves more than flesh and bones.
Unfortunately, after Lü Bu arrived in the capital, he suspected that he was a small official, and for the sake of a red rabbit BMW, a high-ranking official hou and a thousand taels of gold, he actually took Ding Yuan's first rank as a courtesy, turned against Dong Zhuo, and recognized the evil thief as his father.
Subsequently, because of the beautiful mink cicada, Lü Bu conspired with Wang Yun and personally killed Dong Zhuo.
Although in the chaotic period at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was not uncommon to betray the old lord and choose a good tree to live in, only Lü Bu was criticized for this day.
Before Liu Beicheng' affairs, he frequently changed the court between Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Quan, and other people; when Cao Cao raised an army, he was promoted by Yuan Shao, and eventually he beat the Yuan brothers to death.
But these pasts did not prevent them from becoming heroes and heroes praised by everyone, because they were not as unkind and unjust as Lü Bu, and they were ignorant of righteousness.
Zeng Guofan once said: "There is room for words not to be said, there is room for not doing things, and there is no afterglow for not scattering feelings." ”
In this life, ability can only determine how fast you go, but character can determine how far you can go.
Those who betray their character will eventually eat their own evil consequences and dig their own graves.
Romain Rolland said: "Without great character, there are no great people, not even great artists, great actors." ”
Lü Bu was born poor, but he held a good deck of cards, he was good at riding and shooting, happened to meet nobles, and started with martial arts at the age of weak crown, and became famous all over the world.
Unexpectedly, because there is no height in doing things, less temperature, and no pattern, and finally life is tragic.
In life, it is often not in terms of things compared to size, but in terms of pattern than practice.
When things go far away, broaden your horizons; act to a flat place, enlarge your mind; and make the pattern bigger for people, this is the only way to achieve a good life.
When your pattern is bigger, the road of life will go farther and farther, and the wider it will go.
For the rest of your life, may you and I be able to broaden our horizons and become the one who shines brightly in our hearts.
