Kong Ming:
Zhuge Liang’s talent in governing the country and the army, his character of helping the world, loving the people, and being modest and prudent set an example for various outstanding historical figures in later generations. Kings, ministers, intellectuals, and the people of all ages have praised him, praised him, and loved him from different perspectives. It can be said that Zhuge Liang's huge influence in history has exceeded his political and military practices in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Although "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" highlights the positive aspects of Zhuge Liang's life character, moral character, achievements, etc., it also exaggerates it infinitely, depicts him as the embodiment of wisdom, the representative of loyalty, and deifies him into a half-human and half-god superman. image. Lu Xun commented: "Zhuge Liang's wisdom is close to that of a demon." Therefore, Zhuge Liang in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not a real historical figure, but a historical novel character.
Cao Cao:
1. Suspicion. Cao Cao's jealous character is reflected in his famous saying: "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me."
2. Treachery. There is sincerity among treachery, which is exactly a characteristic of Cao Cao's character. It is undeniable that Cao Cao is treacherous, but he also has a frank side and even a cute side. Let’s talk about Cao Cao’s treachery first.
3. Warmth. Cao Cao is also a gentle person.
4. Vicious. But if you think Cao Cao is so gentle, you are wrong. Cao Cao is very cruel. It can be said that he doesn't recognize people even if they fall out with each other.
5. Tolerance. Cao Cao killed Xu You who was kind to him, but spared many people who were sorry for him.
6. Strong desire for revenge. But Cao Cao was also a very vindictive person, and almost no one who offended Cao Cao would not retaliate.
7. Contradictory personality, open to all rivers.
Zhou Yu:
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" depicts Zhou Yu as a typical example of being narrow-minded and jealous of talents. When he discovered that Zhuge Liang was more intelligent than himself, he tried every means to murder him. After getting rid of Kong Ming, Zhuge Liang saw through his plans one by one. He fell into Zhuge Liang's plan and was so angry that he vomited blood and died again and again. When he was about to die, he still said "Ji Sheng Yu" , How can it be bright?" He looked up to the sky and sighed. The novel depicts Yu and Liang's series of battles of wits and tactics before and after the Battle of Chibi in a very vivid and vivid way. From the perspective of character creation, it is quite successful. However, from the perspective of historical authenticity, it is completely based on fiction and is purely a novel. domestic literary and artistic creation.
Of course Zhou Yu in history was not angry to death by Zhuge Liang, and there is no trace of "Three Qi Zhou Yu" at all. If we look at the historical background of Zhou Yu and Kong Ming at the time and their political status and historical role before and after the Battle of Chibi, the real winner is Zhou Yu and not Kong Ming. The talented, shrewd and experienced Zhou Yu actually far surpassed the fledgling Kong Ming.
When Zhou Yu helped Sun Wu start a business in Jiangdong, Kong Ming was still living in exile and seclusion.
To put it simply:
Zhuge Liang: Ingenious and generous. Zhou Yu: Jealous of talents, jealous of talents, and narrow-minded. Cao Cao: He was suspicious by nature and very cautious in dealing with others. Lu Su: Not only loyal to the emperor, but also honest in his words!
