“蜀中无大将,廖化当先锋”,这句话说的是蜀汉后期人才十分缺乏,连廖化这样无能之辈,也担当大任。以后凡是任用无能之辈去办事情时,都被讥讽为廖化作先锋。那么,廖化在三国风云中到底是何等样人,是不是真的平庸无能到这样的不值一提?为了弄清这一点,我对比史书和小说,对廖化有了一些新的认识。 “Shu no generals, Liao when avant-garde”, this sentence is that the late Shu Han talent is very scarce, even Liao Hua such incompetent generation, but also serve as a great job. After the general appointment of incompetent to do things, have been ridiculed as pioneer Liao. So, Liao in the Three Kingdoms situation in the end is what kind of person, is not really mediocre incompetence to such a worth mentioning? In order to clarify this point, I compare the history books and novels, Liao on a number of new understanding.
