Luo Cheng, the seventh hero of Sui and Tang Dynasties, can live to be seventy-three. Why did he die at the age of 23?
In the novel, Li deliberately framed him, was led to the mud river by Liu Heita, and died with an arrow through his heart. This is not sad. So why did Luo live to be seventy-three years old, but died at the age of twenty-three?
The most realistic reason is involved in the struggle for power and profit during the Li Tang period. This is not a curse, let alone a poison oath.
The background of his death is: Luo Cheng took refuge in Li Shimin, the king of Qin with outstanding military exploits, but was framed by Prince Li and Li Yuanji, the king of Zhao, for having an affair with his concubine, and was framed in prison. Li Shimin's men have been disarmed. Liu Heita colluded with Turkish fighters to invade the border, and because there was no one in the army, it was unstoppable and even broke several cities. McCullough went to the front to kill the enemy, which was quite successful. Li, a vassal, and Li Yuanji, a prince of Zhao, hosted a banquet in honor of McCullough. During the dinner, they said, "A good bird chooses a wood to live in" and suggested that he betray his old master and take refuge in Li. When he died, Luo was asked to become a prince and remove the obstacles to his succession to the throne. When Li ascended the throne, he "rewarded you with a history of the Ministry of War"
This is a very dangerous wine shop. At that time, McCullough had lost the patron of the king of Qin, and there were very few military robes. If he refuses Li, it will lead to the latter's dissatisfaction, which will lead to revenge (which has actually happened). And if he agrees to take refuge, it means that he has to bear the stigma of "betraying his old master", play a role similar to Yuwen Chengdou, be a thug of the Prince Group, and draw a sword against his own robes. This is what McCullough, who values friendship, is unwilling to do. Of course, the attitudes of Li and Li Yuanji also disgusted him.
McCullough flatly refused. So, the next day, Li Yuanji and Li beat him with twenty sticks as an excuse. That night, the enemy attacked again, and the Lee brothers forced him to go out of the city to fight and ordered people to close the city gate. On the battlefield, this situation is fatal. McCullough asked for help several times, but the Lee brothers refused to open the door, even cynically, forcing McCullough to death. This is the internal cause. After that, Su designed to introduce Luo Cheng into the muddy river and shoot him to death with an arrow, which only played the role of a fuse. Even if McCullough gets away with it this time, it won't come to a good end in the hands of Brother Li.
To some extent, Luo Cheng is the hero of Yue Fei and Qu Yuan. He will not change his principles because of external pressure, and even die for them. Just like Yue Fei wanted to recover lost ground, when the Turks attacked, McCullough also stepped forward, regardless of whether the situation was favorable to him. Similarly, he will not pretend to perfunctory Li and Li Yuanji, and concentrate on defeating the invaders. Said he was crazy, said he did, his father is Jingbian Hou Luoyitong, listen to the announcement, guarding Jizhou for decades, several times to defeat the Turkish fighters, even the Emperor Wu of Sui and the patron king respected him for three points. And Luo Cheng, 16 years old, wiped out the bandits of Shatuo and threatened the desert with a "silver spear machete". Later, Yangzhou won the title of "No.1 Scholar in Martial Arts". His background is similar to that of the Lee brothers, and his record is more brilliant than that of the Lee brothers (he fought so many foreign enemies, while the Lee Group is only good at fighting civil wars). Do you still think that the same behavior was "done" on the Lee brothers?
If he inherits the title of King Peiping, takes charge of Jizhou and owns private soldiers, he can at least live as a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. At least the Lee brothers will never boss him around again?
The saddest thing about mccullough is that he thinks that walking on earth depends on justice, not enslaving people from above, so he abandons his title of King of Peiping and Eighteen Riders of Yanyun. When he won the title of champion of the State of Wu with his personal ability, repelled the Turkic fighters and defended the country, he found that the Li brothers, the heirs of the Li and Tang Dynasties, only regarded him as a senior slave. With the strength of the army and the territory, he can keep up.
