Chapter 906 Analyzing Official History with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"

"Students, some time ago we talked about the background of the Three Kingdoms. As the Han family continued to decline, the feudal lords from all walks of life competed for territory and gradually became stronger. Among them, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north are the most eye-catching. Next we Let’s move on to one of the three most famous battles in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Battle of Guandu.”

"We have compared the strengths of the two sides in the previous classes, so, next, I would like to ask the students to answer the reasons for the victory and defeat of the two sides in the battle of Guandu."

"Lu Qun", a professor of history at Yenching University, is talking about the Three Kingdoms in this section.

Lu Qun is actually very interested in the history of the Three Kingdoms. In his opinion, the history of the Three Kingdoms is as exciting as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States.Even, to some extent, even more.It's just that the history of the Three Kingdoms is too complicated, but the history of the Three Kingdoms has not entered the public's field of vision.This time, while explaining the Three Kingdoms, Lu Qun wanted to focus on one of the three major battles at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty: the Battle of Guandu.

Among them, the Battle of Guandu was the earliest battle that broke out during the Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Cao not only eliminated Yuan Shao in this battle, but also gradually unified the north with this battle.

Even on this basis, Cao Cao still has the capital to dominate the world.

After the previous lectures, Lu Qun wanted to test the students' understanding of the Battle of Guandu.

"Professor Yuan, I think the reason why Yuan Shao failed was because Cao Cao's strategic deployment was appropriate. Cao Cao did not put all his troops on guard at all intersections, because the coastline is too long and his troops are too easy to disperse. Instead, he concentrated his troops on a few This is a key position. In addition, Cao Cao is also superior to Yuan Shao in terms of tactics. He repeatedly sent out surprise troops, and then used fire to attack Yuan Shao in one fell swoop."

One of the students stood up and spoke.

"Yes, it's just that the summary is a bit one-sided."

Lu Qun nodded.

"Professor Yuan, I think the battle between the two sides has a lot to do with the economy of both sides. Although Yuan Shao's military strength is ten times that of Cao Cao's, the economic level of the area occupied by Yuan Shao may not be higher than that of Cao Cao. In the era of cold weapons, although the military strength It is also very important, but the rear economy also plays a vital supply role. Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao because Cao Cao's economy has been able to continuously supply Cao Cao. Even if they have fewer troops, their equipment, food and grass are absolutely Not weaker than Yuan Shao."

Another classmate also stood up and said analytically.

"Yes, this is very important."

Lu Qun quite agrees that this student can think about the economy.

"Are there any students who answered?"

Looking at the audience, at this moment, Professor Lu saw a classmate sleeping in the audience.

Outrageous.

I actually fell asleep in my own class, and I still want to mess around.

However, Lu Qunming was not angry on his face, but raised his voice slightly and said: "That classmate who is sleeping, please answer this question."

"Ah...Professor Lu, what are you asking?"

The classmate "Liu Qing" who was sleeping underneath wiped his saliva.

If it wasn't for the help from his deskmate just now, he wouldn't have heard Professor Lu call himself to answer the question.

Ugh.

This can not blame him.

He watched Romance of the Three Kingdoms at 1 o'clock last night.

Moreover, in order to fully understand the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Qing also compared history while watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Liu Qing didn't plan to rest until he read the latest chapter.

But even though he was resting, Mo Liuqing was still unstoppably excited.

Compared with reading historical materials, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is much more interesting than history.

Not only is it interesting, even in terms of rigor, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms may not be weaker than orthodox history.

It's just a pity that it was too late last night, and I fell asleep during class that day.

"It seems that student Liu Qing has studied history very well, and he doesn't even want to listen to the class."

Lu Qun had a good self-cultivation, but he still asked calmly: "I just asked about the Battle of Guandu, one of the three major battles in the late Eastern Han Dynasty."

"Ah, Professor Lu, what you are asking about is the Battle of Guandu."

Just now Liu Qing was nervous for a moment, thinking that he was dead now.

Unexpectedly, what Professor Lu asked happened to be the Battle of Guandu that he had watched last night.

"Just now, one of the two students answered the strategic deployment of the two parties, and the other answered the economic comparison between the two parties. Can you summarize the reasons for the victory and defeat of the two parties from other aspects?"

"Professor Lu, let me think about it."

Liu Qing touched his head.

He was seriously struggling, how should he answer this question?
In fact, this question is not difficult for Liu Qing at all.

Not only is it not difficult, on the contrary, Liu Qing can find several reasonable explanations in this battle.

As for why he was entangled, he was thinking, should he answer according to the official history, or according to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
Just as he was thinking, at this moment, Liu Qing saw that the two students next to him couldn't help laughing.

The two of them had always had a bad relationship with Liu Qing, and they often teased Liu Qing with their academic knowledge.

At this moment, Liu Qing was named by Professor Lu to answer the question, and both of them looked like they were watching the scene.

"Hmph, if you want to watch the excitement, then I will shock you."

I was still struggling with the fact that The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a novel, and it is too absurd to use novels to answer historical questions.

But seeing the two sneer, Liu Qing said without thinking, "I don't agree with what the two students said."

"Oh, you don't agree with what the two classmates said?"

Lu Qun asked a little strangely.

He couldn't figure out why Liu Qing said that suddenly.

"Then tell me your opinion."

"Professor Lu, I think that although the reason for a battle seems to have a lot to do with military strength and economy. But since it is a war, it is a war between people. And a war between people, The most important thing is people."

"people?"

Lu Qun hadn't thought about this point of view, but since a student mentioned it, he also wanted to hear it.

"Let's compare the leaders of the two camps first. One is Yuan Shao and the other is Cao Cao. Both are princes of the Three Kingdoms period. But the temperaments of the two are very different. Yuan Shao is arrogant and arrogant, while Cao Cao is rigorous and pragmatic. Yuan Shao controls the army Indulgence, Cao Cao used strict control of the army. Yuan Shao is magnanimous on the surface, but he is small-minded and nepotism in his heart. Cao Cao is small-minded on the surface, but he is unsuspecting in employing people. As long as he has talent, no matter whether the other party has a good temper or a bad temper, his attitude towards himself is good or bad Bad, Cao Cao can use it... Regardless of other things, we can see from this that Yuan Shao's temperament is not Cao Cao's opponent at all."

This is of course Guo Jia's ten defeats and ten victories in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

As soon as such a point of view came out, Lu Qun's eyes suddenly lit up: "Continue talking."

"It is also because of the personalities of the two that it affects the outcome of the Battle of Guandu. For example, on Yuan Shao's side, Yuan Shao is arrogant and unable to distinguish right from wrong. It appears that Yuan Shao has a large number of people, but there are various forces inside. For example, counselor Tian Feng, because he listened to the words of villains, Yuan Shao not only did not listen to Tian Feng's advice, but even killed Tian Feng. In addition, it was precisely because Yuan Shao could not make the best use of his talents that his counselor Xu You Rebellion, and finally gave Cao Cao a big gift. On the other hand, Cao Cao knew people and used them well. When the war came, his advisers and generals were all with Cao Cao. Even when Cao Cao hesitated, some of his The counselors also stepped forward to solve Cao Cao's problems. One is positive and the other is negative. In fact, the outcome of this war has not yet begun, and the outcome of the war has already been decided."

This is of course not fluff.

Although what Liu Qing said was all from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a novel, it is very rigorous, and many of the contents are no different from history, but the author cleverly uses another angle for the Battle of Guandu described.

Such an answer also surprised Professor Lu.

"Student Liu Qing, did you sum it up?"

Lu Qun was shocked.

Although Liu Qing's analysis is not completely accurate, it has brought new ideas to traditional historical research.

Yes.

Why did they only analyze military power and economics before.

Why didn't you think about analyzing people?
Talent is the main body of the war.

"Uh, no."

Of course, this is not what he concluded.

If he is so awesome, what class does he still have?

"Then where did you come from for such an analysis?"

"From the book."

"Oh, which book?"

Lu Qun became extremely interested.

"Three Kingdoms."

Liu Qing said.

"Three Kingdoms?"

Lu Qun was a little strange.

He has not read this book.

"Which one wrote it?"

"Mo Bai."

"Mo Bai?"

Lu Qun was dumbfounded: "Has Mo Bai also written the official history?"

"No."

Liu Qing was a little embarrassed: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not official history, it is a novel."

"novel."

Lu Qun vomited some blood.

Oh my God……

What is it called to analyze the official history with the content of the novel?

"We are studying official history, student Liu Qing, we should read less novels in the future."

Without saying anything, Lu Qun told Liu Qing to sit down.
