Because the way "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is written is: three points of history, seven points of evolution! In this kind of true and false, there will be many misunderstandings. For example, many people think that the historical cattle people of the Three Kingdoms period have been captured, otherwise why should they invent the classic passage "I have the general Pan Feng, but I can cut Huaxiong"?
But in fact, there are too many cattle people in the Three Kingdoms period, even if the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" fictional characters, there are still pearls left. For example, the two historical cattle people to be talked about today are extremely dazzling. Only because it is not written in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is not well known to people, let's talk about this warrior first!
First, this person almost killed Ma Chao
Ma Chao, one of the Five Tiger Generals of Western Shu. Dou Zhang Fei, Zhan Xu Chu, killed Cao Cao and cut off his robe. Even Guan Yu lost his sense of pride in the face of Ma Chao, and wrote to Zhuge Liang asking: Who is more bullish than Ma Chao? This means that I want to pick out Ma Chao and determine who is the real first general of Western Shu!
Therefore, there has always been a voice saying that on the list of the three major generals, Ma Chao should rank second, and change with Zhao Yun. We will not discuss the right and wrong of this statement, but only say that Ma Chao is obviously a figure who has come home from cattle. However, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, there was another person who almost killed Ma Chao, who was "niu to home", and this person was named Yan Xing.
Yan Xing, a native of Western Liang. It is known that during the Three Kingdoms period, after dong Zhuo's death, two princes appeared in Xiliang, one was Han Sui and the other was Ma Teng (Ma Chao), which can be called Xiliang Shuangxuan! A mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Han Sui and Ma Teng, in order to compete for Xiliang, there have been many battles - Ma Teng has Ma Chao, Han Sui has Yan Xing! Moreover, in order to win Yan Xing over, Han Sui forcibly married his daughter to him.
According to the "Wei Luo": (Yan Xing) rarely has a healthy name, and he was originally a young general... At the beginning of Jian'an, he attacked Ma Teng. Teng Zi Chao is also called Jian. Line taste stabbing super, spear folding, because folding spear to lao super item, several kills.
That is, since he was a teenager, Yan Xing has been known as a fierce general (rarely known as Jian). In 196 AD, when Ma Chao was 21 years old (born in 176 AD), how old was Yan Xing? There is no exact record, but from Ma Chao's explanation of "also known as Jian", it can be roughly inferred that the age of the two should not be much different.
This year, Han Sui and Ma Teng launched a big war, and Ma Chao's Prancing Horse rushed to kill and was bumping into Yan Xing. Looking at Yan Xing again, he raised his hand and stabbed at Ma Chao with a spear, and Ma Chao hurriedly blocked, but which Yan Xing's strength was so fierce that he unexpectedly broke the spear, and the spear tip was attached to Ma Chao's neck and "whizzed" past, almost killing Ma Chao.
So what happened then? It should be that Ma Chao was frightened and fled. Otherwise, now that Yan Xing's weapon was broken, if Ma Chao had not escaped, he would have easily killed Yan Xing. Therefore, this reappeared, and the record of Yan Xing's final surrender to Cao Cao was "manifested by Cao Cao".
Yan Xing, judging from his historical records, his story is very legendary, and the reason why it was omitted from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is obviously that Luo Guanzhong deliberately did it in order to highlight Ma Chao's divine bravery.
2. This person was Sima Yi's mentor
The first merit of the three points to the Jin should be recorded on Sima Yi's head. But who is Sima Yi's benefactor? It is Kong Ming - don't get me wrong, this person's name is Hu Zhao, the word Kong Ming!
Hu Zhao was a native of Yingchuan, a hermit of the Three Kingdoms, whose name was no less than that of another Hermit of the Three Kingdoms, who said that "although Kong Ming has his master, he has not yet obtained the time". However, it should be emphasized that although Sima Hui and Sima Yi are both surnamed Sima Yi, there is no relationship between the two, let alone uncles and nephews.
The first to extend an olive branch to Hu Zhao was Yuan Shao, because at that time Hu Zhao avoided chaos in Jizhou, and Hu Zhao immediately fled yuan shao's territory, and he did not look at Yuan Shao at all. Later, Cao Cao finally invited him, and after the two of them had a long talk, Cao Cao helplessly let Hu Zhao go, saying: "People have their own ambitions, their origins are different, they are reluctant to be yashang, and they are not righteous." ”
According to the "Biography of Gao Shi", in the beginning, when Emperor Xuan of Jin was clothed, he had an old relationship with Zhao. Zhou Sheng and others in the same county plotted to kill the emperor, and Zhaowen took a risky step, inviting him to be born between Kun and Shu, stopping his life and refusing to give birth. Weep and weep, feel its righteousness, and stop.
This means that when Sima Yi was still a brother of gongzi, he studied with some second-generation door valves who worshiped Hu Zhao as a teacher. I don't know what happened to Sima Yi, who offended one of his classmates surnamed Zhou. Therefore, Zhou Sheng gathered several friends and wanted to secretly kill Sima Yi.
Sima Yi also heard the news and fled. Zhou Sheng and the others then chased after him. This matter was learned by Hu Zhao, and he immediately chased after him, and finally caught up, drinking zhou sheng and waiting to stop, but there was no effect. Hu Zhao touched these people with affection and righteousness, which enabled Sima Yi to escape this pursuit.
Why is Sima Yi so low-key as soon as he appears? I'm afraid it has a lot to do with being hunted down and killed when I was young! Why is Sima Yi's two sons, one named Sima Shi and the other named Sima Zhao? Obviously, thanks to the meaning of The Mentor Hu Zhao! So why is such a big bull man also missed by the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? There are two reasons for this.
First, Hu Zhao's character Kong Ming, and Sima Yi's nemesis is called Zhuge Kongming, and now there is suddenly a teacher named "Kong Ming", then the reader must be messy, it is better to hide!
Second, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms honors Liu and degrades Cao, and pays considerable attention to the Jin Dynasty established by the Sima family. However, Hu Zhao's main deeds were focused on dealing with Cao Cao and Sima Yi, and it was better to omit them and be more appropriate to the theme.
