1. Cao Cao forced Xun Yu to die
Xun Yu was born in the Yingchuan Xun clan, after Xunzi. In the first year of the Yonghan Dynasty (189), he was raised to filial piety and was appointed as the shougong ling (in charge of the emperor's pen, ink, paper and other items). In September, Dong Zhuo deposed the Young Emperor Liu Xie and established Emperor Liu Xie. In November, Dong Zhuo considered himself a xiangguo, praised and worshipped without a name, did not tend to enter the dynasty, and went to the temple with his sword. In response, Xun Yu abandoned the official and returned to his hometown. Although Xun Yu once defected to Yuan Shao, after discovering that Yuan Shao could not achieve great things, Xun Yu left decisively.
In the second year of Chuping (191), Xun Yu left Yuan Shao and surrendered to Cao Cao. Cao Cao saw Xun Yu coming to vote, and Da Yue said, "This is my sub-room!" So He made Xun Yu the Sima of the other department, and Xun Yu was twenty-nine years old at the time. In the third year of Chuping (192), Cao Cao led Yanzhou Mu and later became the general of Zhendong. Xun Yu fought with him as Sima (司馬). In the first year of Xingping (194), Cao Cao's Eastern Expedition to Xuzhou MuTaoqian, Zhang Mi and Chen Gong took the opportunity to oppose Cao cao in Yanzhou and secretly greeted Lü Bu.
At that time, Xun Yu and Shou Zhang ordered Cheng Yu to defend Juancheng (鄄城, in modern Juancheng, Shandong, yanzhou), and saved some of the city for Cao Cao. In the first month of the second year of Xingping (195), Cao Cao defeated Lü Bu, who attacked Dingtao (present-day northwest of Dingtao, Shandong). In May, Cao Cao launched an attack on The Lü Bu generals Xue Lan and Li Feng of the garrison juye (juye, northeast of present-day Juye, Shandong), and Lü Bu personally rescued them, but was defeated by Cao Cao and retreated.
In the first year of Jian'an (196), Xun Yu persuaded Cao Cao to welcome Emperor Xian of Han and move the capital to Xuchang. In the fifth year of Jian'an (200), the Battle of Guandu broke out. In September, when Cao's army was running out of food and the soldiers were exhausted, Cao Cao wrote to Xun Yu and prepared to retreat to Xudu. However, Xun Yu urged Cao Cao to persevere. In May of the seventh year of Jian'an (202), Yuan Shao died of bloodshed due to the defeat of the army, and his sons Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang attacked each other for the right to inherit. In March of the twelfth year of Jian'an (207), Cao Cao increased the number of households in Xunyuyi, totaling 2,000 households. He was also given the post of Three Dukes (at that time, Tai Wei, Situ, and Sikong were the Three Dukes), and Xun Yu made Xun You resign a dozen times before giving up.
In the seventeenth year of Jian'an (212), Cao Cao wanted to enter the Duke of Wei and seal Jiu Xi (jiu xi was the nine rewards of ancient emperors to his ministers, including carriages and horses, clothes, musical instruments, warriors, bows, etc., which was the highest courtesy for the ministers). In this regard, Xun Yu expressed a resolute opposition attitude. And this, of course, was alienated by Cao Cao.
In the same year, Cao Cao enlisted Sun Quan and sent Xun Yu to work in Tan County. When Cao Cao's army came to Shusu, Xun Yu stayed in Shouchun (present-day Shou County, Anhui) due to illness, and soon died of anxiety (about Xun Yu's death, the Wei Shi Chunqiu also has this saying: at that time, Cao Cao gave food to Xun Yu, xun Yu opened the food vessel, saw that there was nothing in the vessel, so he was forced to take poison and commit suicide), at the age of fifty. Honorific Title.
Second, Sun Quan forced Lu Xun to die
Lu Xun was born in wu county, the Lu clan, is a family clan in Jiangdong, and one of the four major surnames in Jiangdong (Wu County Gu Clan, Wu Junlu Clan, Wu Junzhu Clan, Wu Junzhang Clan). Grandfather Lu Lu was an official to the Lieutenant of the City Gate. His father, Lu Jun, served as the governor of Jiujiang (present-day Shouchundong, Anhui). In the fifth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (200), Sun Ce died because he was assassinated by Xu Gong's three-door guests, and Sun Quan took power, recruited Junxiu, and hired famous soldiers.
In the eighth year of Jian'an (203), when Lu Xun was twenty-one years old, he began to assist Sun Quan. In the twenty-first year of Jian'an (216), the thief Commander You of Poyang rebelled suddenly, which had a great impact, and Lu Xun led an army to cooperate with the Fenwu general He Qi to quell him and behead thousands. Lu Xun was appointed lieutenant of Bai Dingwei for his merits, and Tun Bing Lipu.
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Guan Yu launched the Battle of Xiangfan. The Huwei general Lü Meng and Sun Quan, who garrisoned Lukou (陸口, northwest of present-day Puxi, Hubei), made a plan to capture Nan Commandery (南郡) and capture Guan Yu. In the campaign of sneaking into Jingzhou, Lu Xun was able to recruit tens of thousands of Guan Yu's army, and Sun Quan, that is, Bai LuXun, was the right protector and the general of Zhenxi, and entered the Marquis of Lou and Zhenfu Jingzhou, and his status was already above Lü Meng. In the second year of the Huang Dynasty (221), Liu Bei personally led an army to conquer Eastern Wu, despite the advice of Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and other courtiers. In the Battle of Yiling, Lu Xun adopted the strategy of fire attack and successfully defeated the Shu Han army.
After the Battle of Yiling, Cao Pi sent a large army to conquer Eastern Wu, and Lu Xun and others resisted with all their might. In the seventh year of Huang Wu (228), Lu Xun won the Battle of Shiting. In the first year of the Huanglong Dynasty (229), Sun Quan was proclaimed empress dowager, with Lu Xun as the general, assisting the crown prince Sun Deng, and taking charge of the affairs of the capital Wuchang. In the seventh year of Chiwu (244), Lu Xun was worshipped by Sun Quan as a chancellor, Jingzhou Mu, and Right Protector. By this time, Lu Xun was already an extremely popular courtier. However, when Sun He and Sun Ba "quarreled between the two palaces", Lu Xun was involved in the dispute between Sun Quan's father and son.
In 246, after the relationship between Sun Quan, Sun Quan, and father and son deteriorated, Sun He's envoys hid under Sun Quan's bed and overheard Sun Quan and Yang Zhu talking about wanting to use Sun Ba as a store. Sun He was terrified, so he secretly summoned his confidant Lu Yin and asked him to take the opportunity to go to Wuchang to ask his father Lu Xun to defend himself. And the crown prince Fu Wucang also exchanged messages with Lu Xun several times. Lu Xun listened to the two men and repeatedly stated the distinction between concubines and concubines.
Sun Quan discovered that the forbidden Chinese language had leaked, and successively took Yang Zhu, Lu Yin, and Wu Yue into custody for interrogation. Although Lu Xun was not immediately questioned together, he was also sent to write a letter to accuse him of inquiring about the secrets of the palace. In prison, Yang Zhu confessed to Lu Xun's twenty pieces of evidence, and Lu Yin did not say a word about Sun He's existence. Lu Xun was finally indignant. As a result, Sun Quan's blame became the direct cause of Lu Xun's illness and death.
Third, Liu Bei forced Liu Feng to die
Liu Fengben was the son of Luo Houkou and the nephew of Liu Bi (劉泌) in Changsha Commandery (劉泌 in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms). After Liu Bei defected to Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, he temporarily settled in Jingzhou, because Liu Bei had no heirs at that time, so he adopted Liu Feng as an adopted son. In the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), Liu Zhang invited liu zhang to enter Shu to defend Against Zhang Lu. For Liu Feng, he also participated in the Battle of Yizhou. In 214, after Yizhou was pacified, Liu Bei appointed Liu Feng as a deputy general.
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Liu Bei completely occupied all of Hanzhong, and sent Yidu Taishou Meng Da to lead an army to capture Fangling County. After this, Meng Da led an army to attack Shangyong Commandery, and Liu Bei secretly worried that Meng Da would not be able to win the victory alone, so he sent Liu Feng from Hanzhong shunshui south to lead Meng Da's army Liu Feng led his army to join forces with Meng Da's Shangyong and successfully forced Shangyong to surrender. After the occupation of Shangyong, Liu Feng was promoted to deputy general.
At the end of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Guan Yu besieged Xiangfan, and in the Battle of Xiangfan, Guan Yu repeatedly asked Liu Feng and Meng Da to send troops to help, but Liu Feng and Meng Da refused to leave the three counties soon after they occupied the three counties of Shangyong. In 220, after Guan Yu was defeated and killed, Liu Bei blamed Liu Feng and Meng Da for this. In the same year, Meng Da and Liu Feng were at odds, and Liu Feng seized Meng Da's band playing drums, and Meng Da was afraid of Liu Bei's punishment on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was very resentful of Liu Feng, so he wrote a letter to Liu Bei, and then led the orchestra to surrender to Cao Wei.
Finally, after Meng Da surrendered to the State of Wei, Emperor Cao Pi of Wei sent Xiahou Shang, Xu Huang, Meng Da, and others to lead an army to attack the three eastern counties. Meng Da wrote to Liu Feng to persuade Liu Feng to surrender, but Liu Feng refused. Although Liu Feng did not betray Shu Han, he did not rescue Guan Yu, which led to Meng Da's surrender to Cao Wei and even the loss of the Eastern Three Counties, which made Liu Bei unforgivable. After Liu Feng returned to Chengdu, Zhuge Liang considered that Liu Feng was fierce and brave, and liu bei would eventually be difficult to subdue after his death, so he persuaded Liu Bei to take this opportunity to get rid of him. Therefore, Liu Bei gave Liu Feng a death sentence and made him commit suicide. Liu Feng sighed and said, "I regret not listening to Mencius. After Liu Feng cut himself, Liu Bei was very sad and wept for Liu Feng.
