Originally Ding Yuan's adopted son, Lu Bu was brave. Dong Zhuo wanted to get rid of Ding Yuan, but he was afraid of Lu Bu, so he sent Su Li to surrender with red hare, gold and jewels. Seeing that he had forgotten his righteousness, Lu Bu took a knife to Ding Yuan's account overnight, killed him, cut off his head, voted for Dong Zhuo, and worshipped Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father. Dong Zhuo gave him gold and named him the capital of Hou Ting.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms can be roughly divided into five parts: the Yellow Scarf Uprising, Dong Zhuo's rebellion, competing among the heroes, the Three Kingdoms' separation, and the Three Kingdoms' return to Jin. This paper describes the historical situation of nearly a hundred years from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty, mainly describing the war, telling the story of the scuffle between the heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the political and military struggle between Wei, Shu and Wu, and finally Sima Yan unified the three countries and established the Jin Dynasty.
Literary features of Romance of the Three Kingdoms;
The novel always describes the center, especially through the images of Liu Bei, a benevolent man, and Zhuge Liang, a wise man, which highlights the theme of the work and expresses the people's wishes.
As a typical image of the opposite of Shu and Han, it is Cao Cao: Cao Cao in the novel is both a typical traitor and a symbol of a tyrant. It is through the criticism of this character that the work reflects the people's desire to hate the tyrant.
However, in his works, Cao Cao is a "traitor", not a traitor. Therefore, although he is often called "Han thief" by his opponents, he is still a literary consultant and a brave general, and many people still defend him wholeheartedly. Compared with Wu and Shu, Cao Wei has incredible advantages.
Because of this, at the end of the novel, Liu Bei, a wise monarch deeply supported by the people, was killed in Baidicheng, and Cao Cao, regarded as a "Han thief", almost unified the whole country. This is a tragedy of the Three Kingdoms and a historical necessity. This also reflects the ideological contradiction between the work and the author.
