It was an era of starvation and death, but it gave birth to the most dazzling galaxy.
In a village swept by the plague, a doctor named Zhang Jiao lit up talisman water, igniting the first cry of "Heaven is dead"; under the broken palace walls of Luoyang, a group of princes made a bloody alliance under the banner of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and the sound of clinking wine glasses echoed with the crisp sound of their own abacus.
Then, the heroes appeared one after another.
Cao Cao raised troops in Chenliu, and his hometown was in scorched earth. He knelt in front of his father's body without crying. Many years later, he welcomed the emperor back and wrote in his own hand, "The bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles." He remembered every inch of the land that had been plowed by the war, but he also became the creator of another tragedy in Xuzhou.
Liu Bei spent half his life, and at the age of forty he was still living under someone else's roof. At Liu Biao's banquet, he saw his beard resurrected, and his tears fell silently into the wine cup. His benevolence and righteousness are the determination to still choose to take the people with him after countless embarrassment escapes - this is the most humble obsession for "home" among the displaced.
This book uses rigorous historical facts as its bones and fresh flesh and blood as its soul. It brushes away the makeup of romance and the gold dust of legend, and writes biographies of dozens of figures from the Three Kingdoms one by one:
They are Machiavellians and fathers; gods of war and defeated enemies; loyal ministers and prisoners.
More than a hundred years of turmoil and countless choices finally converged into one name——
Jian'an.
It is the strength of the wind, the dust of the wind, and the storm. It is the epitaph of an era and the starting point of another thousand-year legend.
Purpose: Disenchant heroic myths and restore real people in history. This is not a hymn to praise the winner, but to present the cost and struggle behind every choice in troubled times - the transformation of idealists, the embarrassment of the righteous, the loneliness of the hero, and the dilemma of the counselor. At that time, the times rolled over all living beings, some fell down in the wind and snow, some continued on their way, and no one really reached their homecoming. The so-called Jian'an character is not the medal of the winner, but the backbone of the loser who remains straight in desperate situations.
