Top Ten Crazy People of the Three Kingdoms!

Tenth: Mi Heng. Since this guy joined Cao Cao, he definitely hoped to display his talent. But instead, he drummed naked and scolded Cao Cao. He didn't think that after cursing the big boss, what good outcome could he possibly have? In the end, when he went to Liu Biao, maybe he was really crazy, and continued to curse. Liu Biao looked at him and thought, "this is just a madman", so he gave him to Huang Zu. Mi Heng probably got angry and continued to curse, then snap, his head was cursed off. Judging by his behavior, he was quite crazy.

Ninth: Cao Mao. At such a young age, his literary and martial potential were evident, but unfortunately, Sima Yi suppressed him almost to the point of madness. Later, seeing fewer and fewer people around him, he made a desperate gamble, as an emperor, actually leading more than a hundred guards and eunuchs to try to eliminate Sima Yi. The result was that before even seeing Sima Yi, he was stabbed by Jia Hua. Judging by his actions, he was also pretty crazy. However, his influence was greater, so he ranked higher than Mi Heng.

Eighth: Zhang Jue. This guy was absolutely crazy; he actually incited the whole country to rise up in rebellion, leading hundreds of thousands of people to kill officials and slaughter bureaucrats. If it wasn't for madness, an ordinary person couldn't do it. I don't need to say much about the impact of his crazy behavior, do I?

Seventh: Sun Quan. This guy alternated between clarity and madness. When Cao Cao's army reached Chibi, he actually chose Zhou Yu, who was over 30 years old, to take a gamble, and if he won, he would win big. Surprisingly, he won the Battle of Chibi! When Guan Yu attacked Xiangyang and Fan, this guy gambled again, and Lu Meng crossed the Yangtze River in civilian clothes, killing Guan Yu! Then this led to Liu Bei leading an army for revenge, continuing the madness, with the mindset of winning big if he wins, he let Lu Xun, who was under 30 years old, lead the troops to resist, and ended up defeating Liu Bei! Of the three key battles in the Three Kingdoms: Guandu, Chibi, Yiling, this guy took part in two and won both. It must be said, heaven favors the crazy.

Sixth: Jiang Wei. This gentleman launched nine expeditions against Central Plains in his lifetime, surpassing even his teacher Zhuge Liang. Seeing the decline of Shu, he still attacked Cao Wei. Besides being a fanatic, I doubt anyone else could achieve this. After the fall of Shu, he still didn't give up, continuing to incite Zhong Hui to rebel. I really suspect whether Zhuge Liang brainwashed him, harboring such great hatred towards Wei! It seems, he was really crazy.

Fifth: Chen Gong. This gentleman started well and kept going well. Cao Cao also favored this person greatly. But unexpectedly, this person acted like he had lost his mind, taking advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Xu Province to contact others and rebel together. Unexpectedly, they failed. I think he was already crazy at this time, actually surrendering to Lü Bu! Then followed Lü Bu, who was crazier, until Cao Cao captured him, at which point he suddenly became clear-headed, entrusting his family to Cao Cao. Cao Cao seemed to know he was crazy, did not mistreat his family, treating them as if they were his own. Alas, what a pity for Chen Gong.

Fourth: Cao Cao. This person may have been driven mad by migraines, his madness coming in waves. He went mad and beat Jian Shuo's uncle, then attempted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and during the anti-Dong alliance, he pursued Dong Zhuo with only a few thousand soldiers. Later, after capturing Xu Province, he slaughtered all of Xu Province! The craziest thing was that Sima Yi didn't want to come out and serve as an official, but this person forced his gravedigger out with a knife at his neck. If he wasn't crazy, that would be strange. Looking at the impact of this person's several mad acts on later generations, we can't help but give him a high rank.

Third: Liu Bei. This brother has been doing well all his life, but in the end, with the mentality of going crazy once and dying, he launched an attack on Eastern Wu, resulting in a crushing defeat and dying in Baidi. I analyzed the reasons for his madness: first, Guan Yu died, giving him a huge shock, at which point he was merely confused. Then, Zhang Fei also died, and this blow was severe. Immediately, he went crazy, singing loudly "let me go crazy once", and ran to Yiling where he suffered a defeat. Although Liu Bei's madness only happened once, it wasn't too high up the rankings. However, the extent of his madness was severe, completely depleting Shu. Not ranking him in the top three would truly be unfair to him.

Second: Lü Bu. I think this person has always had a mental illness, continuously killing two adoptive fathers, not knowing why. Killing Ding Yuan didn't get him anything, killing Dong Zhuo didn't get him anything either. Then, wherever he went, there was no grand ambition, nor did he seek gold, silver, or beauties, and in the end, he lost his life. If he wasn't crazy, he definitely wouldn't have done this. Therefore, Lü Bu must have had a mental illness. Looking at the Three Kingdoms, no one was crazier for longer than him. Not ranking him in the top three, I'm afraid he would come to my house at night and go crazy.

First: Dong Zhuo. This guy went crazy in an absolutely extraordinary way. When he entered Luoyang, everything was fine at first, he was nice to everyone, granting promotions and titles. But somehow, it was as if he was cursed, and he suddenly went crazy. He deposed the young emperor, killed the empress dowager, then went mad uncontrollably, looting, killing, raping, committing every evil deed imaginable. In the end, he even burned down the number one metropolis of the world, Luoyang! Even at death, he was still confused, not knowing who killed him. If Dong Zhuo wasn't crazy, there probably wouldn't have been the Three Kingdoms. Whether it's the degree of madness or its impact, the champion title undoubtedly belongs to him.
