三國(7): 關羽之傲
關羽之人,羅貫中寫透了.中國人聽到關公,沒有不立大指的.義薄雲天,忠勇膽大,有武有謀.這種英雄,當然可以升天為神,被世世代代瞻拜.台北有個行天宮,拜的就是關公.香火鼎盛,信徒三拜九叩,絡繹不絕.但羅貫中筆鋒一轉.讓我們看到了關羽的驕傲.小時讀三國,看到這就摔書不看了.再讀,明白了三國的深刻. 劉備自封漢中王.曹操結東吳要滅他.諸葛瑾想和,所以來作媒,替孫權兒子取關羽女兒.結果一句”虎女不嫁犬子”,氣的孫權和曹操結盟.他一路打樊城,安排的不錯.水淹七軍,刀宰龐德,生擒于禁,威名大盛.但是很明顯的人才不足:通信線太長沒人監督,補給線太長沒人維持,最重要的是荊州沒有人守.被東吳呂蒙白衣渡江,偷了荊州.關羽補給線斷了,又腹背有曹操孫權.手下只有關平廖化兩將.沒戲了. 第一錯就是逼著孫權和曹操結盟.有個諸葛瑾不用,反而不斷的得罪孫權.這步錯了,別的都難圓. 第二錯就是沒想好”萬一”.一切的安排,都只有表面的第一步,沒有考慮安排第二防線.所以一敗就全垮.這就是大意失荆州.神武關雲長也只就只能說”玉可碎而不可改其白，竹可焚而不可毀其節”.死時年58. 孫權殺了關羽,逼劉備發兵,打破了三國的均勢,也開始了三國的結束.

Foie Gras and Plastic Bags
Few months ago, I went to a restaurant called Playground in Santa Ana, California. It is a place customers pay to consume what chefs having fun making. Everything was artisan: beers, breads, desserts, and, of course, all the dishes. Waiting … Continue reading
