At noon, I was going to write another chapter, but several comments in the book review area caught Zhonglang's attention, including a message titled "Is this still a novel of the Three Kingdoms", which made Zhonglang pay special attention to it and ponder for a long time.

After thinking about it for a few hours, Toraben Zhonglang wrote the first work related to "Xiao Qi" since it was uploaded.

Zhonglang has been introspecting for a long time, thinking a lot, and looking at the history of thousands of years, he is quite touched.

Among the Three Kingdoms, the most popular generals, such as Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others, are all reckless, extraordinary martial arts, loyalty, righteousness and integrity, and a promise.

But how big the world is, are these people the most loyal and brave generals?

Li Dao and Guo Yan supported Dong Zhuo to dominate the government and the opposition and deter the world, and the princes watched Dong Zhuo move west to Chang'an, but they were afraid. It stands to reason that Li Dao, Guo Yan and a group of Xiliang generals should be more famous than Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others, but this is not the case.

Weishenme will be like this?

Nanban Shamoke shot Gan Ning; Jiangdong teenager Ma Zhong shot and wounded Huang Zhong, causing Huang Zhong to die; He also offered a plan to stumble and arrest Guan Yu, prompting the fall of the martial saint Guan Yu. However, these people are only unknown young generals, far from being comparable to the celebrities of the Three Kingdoms.

Weishenme will be like this? Isn't there much merit they have achieved?

The lord of the Western Shu Southern Barbarian Ugo Kingdom has a vulture bone, a length of one zhang and two, a body with scale armor, a sword that is difficult to hurt, eats poisonous snakes and evil beasts raw, and has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. But he only showed up a few times before he was destroyed by Zhuge Liang.

How could such a fierce man die so easily? Why don't you let him compete with Martial Saint Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others to see who is more powerful?

However, the vulture died, and died very quickly, not long after it appeared, so that many people didn't notice that there was such a fierce man who didn't look like a human in the romance.

But he must die, how can he not die to bring out Zhuge Liang's greatness!

By analogy, in the era of the Three Kingdoms, how many unknown generals were there, I'm afraid Luo Guanzhong couldn't tell me clearly, right? However, he only needs to set up generals who conform to the will of the feudal rulers and are acceptable to the people in the feudal society.

As a result, military generals like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun can become celebrities in the romance, not only with extraordinary martial arts and loyalty, but also in line with the ideological will of the feudal rulers and the ethics and morals of the society at that time.

Because of this, they can exist in novels and wild histories; And those generals who do not conform to the ideas of feudal society will die as soon as possible, become a stepping stone for others, or will not leave any name at all.

Throughout the annals, history is always strikingly similar. And the novels of that era must also be in line with the will of the rulers, otherwise it will be difficult to preserve them at all, and even cause the author himself to die.

Just as in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the positive character is Liu Bei, the hero is Cao Cao, and Jiangdong Sun Quan is just a foil. It wasn't until Romance Zuihou and Shu Han were weak that Sun Quan's Jiangdong Shili gradually became a real supporting role, and there were more opportunities to show his face. And the Sima family, who unified the Three Kingdoms, also played a disgraceful role at first, but at the end of the romance, it became orthodox.

What does all this mean?

············

In the drama "Chu Han", after Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, seized the world, he said such a sentence meaningfully: "The most exciting sentence I have heard in my life is what King Chen Sheng said, 'The prince will have a kind of Xiangning'!" ”

A Confucian Analect established the dominance of the feudal dynasty and allowed Confucianism to be passed down for thousands of years and continue to this day. And Chen Sheng's scream when he was in a desperate situation has also been passed down for thousands of years, and it is still inspiring countless people.

"What kind of prince will Xiangning?"

This sentence can be said to have indirectly affected the historical changes of feudal society for more than 2,000 years, and its impact is immeasurable and far-reaching.

Since then, countless ambitious people have come forward one after another, and have confirmed Chen Sheng's famous sentence with practical actions.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms disputed; Five chaotic China, seventeen countries coexist in the world.

Sui and Tang dynasties fought for hegemony, and the empress Wu Mei; The Zhao dynasty of Zhou, brothers killed each other to seize the treasure, and the Mongolian iron cavalry built the capital.

Yuanzhang begged for food, barefoot as the emperor; King Chuang rose, the Qing soldiers entered the customs, and Xiaozhuang dedicated himself to protecting the throne.

Wu Sangui was angry, and the name of the traitor has been passed down for a hundred years.

Cixi Regent, Zhongshan of the Republic of China; Lao Jiang seized power, the red bandits started the Xiangjiang River, turned to the north and south for 30,000 miles, swept the world, built China, and created a peaceful and prosperous era!

In all the annals of history, the princes and princes have a kind of Xiangning, which has always run through it, like a shadow, until the present day.

These emperors through the ages are still of all kinds and have different backgrounds, so it is not difficult to think that among the Three Kingdoms, are there only those generals under Luo Dada's pen?

Look at how many generals there are in modern wars, Lao Jiang has 8 million soldiers, and the generals have tens of thousands. After the founding of the Communist Party, there were thousands of generals just who were awarded the general star, and there were hundreds of people who held both military and political positions, so they did not receive the general star. In addition to this, generals below the rank of military are not counted.

Even though the population was small during the Three Kingdoms period, but there were several wars of millions of people in the romance, could it be that there were only more than 100 military generals who could be named?

Modern people write the story of the Three Kingdoms, the protagonists have changed, their identities and the environment they are in have completely changed, but they are still using all the generals written by Luo Dada. Is this normal?

We write the heart-wrenching history of the Three Kingdoms with a virtual plot, if we copy the plot and characters in the romance, just change the name of the protagonist, is such a novel worth reading again? Wouldn't we translate classical Chinese into the vernacular, and then type it out after changing it, why bother?

······ As modern youth, we have the courage to try all kinds of new things, keep pace with the times, no longer limited to rules and regulations, nor are we bound to customs, and dare to try all kinds of things of interest.

Just like the previous stars, they all had a good skin, placed on the table, all of them were oily and powdery, and they were brightly dressed.

However, now we are more accepting of grassroots stars, even if he is not beautiful, even if he is still a little rustic, and even has such and such flaws, but we don't mind, we can tolerate him. As long as he is truly talented, true and deducing, not hypocritical or pretentious, we can accept him.

Because he is the person around us. In him, we see the truth and simplicity, and feel that he is a real person, not an artist after the packaging of Fan Dai, every move, word and deed is arranged and written by the agent in advance.

The prince will have a kind of Xiangning.

This ancient saying, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has not faded, and is still reinterpreting all kinds of novel stories in the new era. Perhaps the rulers dislike this phrase the most, but we ordinary people still believe it.

Because this sentence contains our ideals of struggle, and it is also full of our unremitting efforts and never-say-die fighting spirit.

As far as our dreams go, we can go; The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!

············

Regarding the generals in "Xiao Cavalry", Zhonglang has done his best to portray the characters, make them plump, and present them realistically in front of you. Let them not just be a name, but a living life, in the chaotic era, they also have their own responsibilities and pursuits.

Because Zhonglang always firmly believes that no one in this world is born a waste, and even many people are very talented, it just depends on whether he has the opportunity to display his talents, and whether he can get a stage to show himself.

We pursue fantasy and Xianxia, no matter what kind of scene and artistic conception can be accepted, we can also accept it within the historical framework, appreciate more novel storylines, otherwise why should we still watch the Three Kingdoms.

A novel is a novelty shijie. In our spare time, we can open and take a look, which is not only to pass the time, but also to comprehend more things worth thinking about, enrich our experience, and enrich our lives.

It is not true history, nor is it wild history; It is just a spiritual need that guides us to endless reverie, which makes us more comprehensive when we think about things, braver when we face difficulties, and stronger when we are emotionally unhappy, so that we can face life and move forward bravely.

That's all.
