Combined with multiple sources, after 3 brushes, I understood the story

Work relationship does not cost money to watch movies, so 3 consecutive days, 3 movies.

Combining information from interviews, documentaries, deleted clips, etc.

Can be regarded as understand the story.

First, the 3 important so-called discussion points do not exist.

1. The 100 people in Tian Zhan's belt attacked the pass, not the main city. Only by opening the gate can the main force of the lord enter the city.

2. (Excerpt from the main film) The lord found Tian Zhan in the bamboo forest and told him: Ziyu and I estimated that the illusion created by me was deceiving Yang Cang.

3. The story happened in 7 days, and the time created the story. The continuous rain and the rise of the water level made it possible for the sneak attack to enter the gate, break the door, and the main force entered the city.

——————

Throughout the film, several major questions:

1. Ziyu is a half-crippled old brother, what is the core purpose of such tossing? If the ultimate goal is to usurp power, why not kill the lord directly?

A: Ziyu was cut to pieces in the last battle with Yang Cang, and he also lost Jingzhou City. He still wanted to launch the war for revenge and recovery. If you start a war directly, you will lose.

In Zi Yu's chessboard, there are 3 important characters:

1. The shadow fights with Yang Cang to attract those who guard the gate.

2, Tian Zhan, with 100 people to break through the barrier.

3. The lord, lead a large army to attack 800 defenders.

If these 3 steps all go according to plan, then revenge and recovery is complete. At this time, it would only make sense if he could still kill the lord.

If you kill the lord first and directly usurp power, then Yang Cang will raise his defenses, and it will be impossible to recover Jingzhou. Recovering Jingzhou is Ziyu's first goal, and usurping power is not the first.

Destroying Jingzhou must play a conspiracy. This conspiracy is in the plot, Zi Yu and the lord tacitly have each other's plans to fool Yang Cang together.

2. The lord can't sleep for a long time, why didn't he just kill Ziyu in advance? Since he saw through Ziyu's conspiracy, why did he continue to act? Also send troops to recapture Jingzhou?

A: In Wei Xiaobao's story, Obai has real power, and even the emperor has nothing to do. In fact, it has been mentioned many times in the dialogue of the plot that even the common people know that the lord is a puppet and the real power is in the hands of the governor. Therefore, the lord does not have the ability nor dare to kill the governor, and he can't even fight one-on-one.

The lord can't guess what the governor is going to do, what is his purpose, is he trying to kill himself to usurp power? So can't sleep at night.

When the lord discovered the purpose of the governor, the first item was to fight to recover Jingzhou. Instead, he was relieved, he knew that this session had to be finished first.

In the lord's chessboard, there are 3 important characters:

1. Be close to Lu Yan, send him a signal of internal chaos, and he is a coward. He is not fighting, kneeling for peace, and letting him tip off to Yang Cang.

2. Tian Zhan, took the initiative to find Tian Zhan and tell him that the so-called discord with Ziyu was a conspiracy. It was a show for Yang Cang to see, and Ziyu and I were in the same group. The advantage of this is that, in Tian Zhan's view, this battle is not a betrayal or a life for someone, but a just battle. The lord and Ziyu are both wise. You won't go back after you win. (The whole world knows that Tian Zhan is Ziyu's man).

3. Shadow, if this person doesn't come back, the whole country will continue to listen to Ziyu. So the lord wants to support a new puppet. The shadow is still Ziyu, and the shadow listens to himself.

3. Shadow, why did you kill all the masters in the end?

Answer: Shadow is the only variable. In Zi Yu's opinion, Shadow is an abandoned child after breaking through the barrier. Originally, he didn't care if he survived, because as long as Tian Zhan broke through the barrier, it would be fine. And in the end, he found out that he had made peace with Xiao Ai, so he would definitely kill Wu Amnesty. Abandoned son.

In the eyes of the lord, the shadow is an abandoned child, but he can use it. So let's recruit, if you come back and make arrangements for you, you will be my dog, and I will let you continue to be the governor in comfort.

Why is it said that the shadow is the only variable.

Because he was the one who broke through the plan. According to the plan, he should have died under the sword of Yang Cang, but he actually survived. According to the plan, he should have died under the ambush of the swordsman arranged by Ziyu, but he was rescued by the master's people. . The unplanned shadow has returned to Pei, so does the shadow continue to help Zi Yu, or the lord?

Variables are uncontrollable and unreliable. When both sides wanted to win over the shadow again, the shadow didn't care about anyone and killed them all.

It must be said here that the shadow, as the real protagonist of the story, is his core appeal.

Shadow was kidnapped and locked in a cage at the age of 8. He was abused inhumanly since he was a child, and was caught and beaten when he escaped. The only chance to show his face was to execute Yang Cang's battle.

Death is also liberation, after all, he wants a freedom in his heart.

So when he found out that the war was over, everything should be over, and the best ending is to go home alive to see his mother, and laugh while lying on the battlefield.

When he got home, he found that he was still trapped in the whirlpool of power, and neither Zi Yu nor the lord spared themselves.

Even the lord let himself continue to be a shadow, a suppressed dog.

It is conceivable that the shadow at this time, killing all is revenge, is liberation.

(In the Korean movie New World, when the undercover agent found out that he didn’t kill them all, the police even made himself an undercover agent, and he would have no freedom for the rest of his life)

————————————————————————

Basically the logic of the 3 main characters is like this.

Zi Yu said in his own words that he was a war madman, and what he pursued was power in the world. So even if he is half-crippled and dying, he has to deal with Jingzhou.

The protagonist cooperated with the acting to show Yang Cang and Ziyu, so together they really won Jingzhou according to the plan.

In the last variable, although the lord has brought the shadow back, he does not know the shadow's childhood experience, and he does not know the shadow's inner thoughts, and he still thinks about giving the shadow the identity of the governor and Xiao Ai. After all, I still didn't see the shadow as a person.

————

One last point, why did the lord only send a few killers to kill Zi Yu in the end?

Because the entire court, patiently with Quan Pei, belonged to Zi Yu, he could only secretly assassinate him.

The advantage of assassination is that no one in the outside world knows that Zi Yu is dead.

Afterwards, the shadow is righted and the shadow is the governor, so that he can maintain his rule and make a smooth transition.

Pei Guo's heaven, but Zi Yu's.

Regarding the ending, according to the state shown by the characters at the end, infer:

1. The shadow inherits all the real powers of the past governor. All he can become the new lord.

2. Tian Zhan also acquiesced when he saw this result. Zi Yu is dead, the lord is dead, and he has nothing to turn to.

    Taiping, which has never been peaceful, is full of absurdities, and the poison of thousands of scorpions has no cure. Jingzhou is the shadow of Ziyu and the shadow of Peiguo. When a person has a shadow, he dares to move in the dark; when a country loses its shadow, he dares not dance when the sky is fine. The dagger of courtship is splashed with vengeful blood, and the ensemble Qinse composes a centrifugal song. The father and son's three-in-one sword, the husband and wife's oil-paper umbrella, and the ruler and minister's conquest promise, finally fulfilled the real name and fulfilled the world of shadows.
