In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Guan Yu launched the "Battle of Xiangfan", fought against Cao Cao Fang, defeated Cao Ren stationed at Fancheng, flooded the Seventh Army, captured Yu Ban who rescued Fancheng, and beheaded the general Pound.
When the war was in full swing, Cao Cao sent people to unite with Sun Quan and let Sun Quan sneak attack from Behind Guan Yu, and Mi Fang, who was guarding Jiangling, and Shiren (Fu) Who guarded the public security of Zhen, were scolded by Guan Yu for their ineffective work, and they were terrified, so they surrendered the city to Sun Quan.
Guan Yu was attacked by the enemy on his stomach and back, and under the joint attack of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, he soon lost Jingzhou and was defeated and killed.
Before Guan Yu's death, he had asked Liu Feng and Meng Da, who were stationed in Shangyong, to send troops to help, but Liu Feng and Meng Da refused to send troops on the grounds that the mountain city had just been annexed and the rear was unstable.
Guan Yu fought alone and had no reinforcements, and after the defeat, Meng Da was afraid of being held accountable, and coupled with the disagreement with Liu Feng, Meng Da led his men to surrender to Cao Pi.
In the second year of Zhang Wu (222), Liu Bei launched the "Battle of Yiling" and attacked Sun Quan to avenge Guan Yu. Lu Xun burned the company camp, Liu Bei was defeated at Yiling, the whole army was destroyed, and fled alone.
The Zhenbei general Huang Quan, because the road was cut off by the Wu army and there was no hope of returning to Yizhou, was forced to lead his army to surrender to Cao Pi.
It is worth noting that Meng Da and Huang Quan surrendered to Cao Pi, and both were given high official positions and prominent positions, while Mi Fang surrendered to Sun Quan, seemingly gaining nothing and suffering from the exhaustion.
First of all, Meng Da surrendered to Cao Pi, was sealed as a general of Chang Shi and Jianwu, and was given the title of Marquis of Pingyang Pavilion. In addition, Cao Pi combined the three counties of Fangling, Shangyong, and Xicheng to form Xincheng County, and let Meng Da serve as the Taishou of Xincheng.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Feng's Biography, records that Emperor Wen of Wei's posture of Shanda was talented and contemplative, and he thought that he was a general of The Scattered Horse and a Jianwu general, and was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Pingyang Pavilion. The three counties of Hefangling, Shangyong and Xicheng are Xincheng County, and the three counties of Hefangling are the new city of Taishou.
Meng Da's official position was Jianwu General, although he was a miscellaneous general, but it was very important to be a regular attendant, an attendant of the emperor, a close subject, and a prominent position.
Look at Huang Quan's surrender to Cao Pi, he was given the title of General of Zhennan, the Marquis of Yuyang, and the Addition of Attendants to accompany him.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, The Biography of Huang Quan, records that Emperor Wen Shanzhi, who worshiped as the general of Zhennan, was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Yuyang, and was given the attendant to accompany him.
General Zhennan, the rank is not low, more importantly, in addition to the service, the waiter can enter and exit the palace, and is also a close subject of the emperor, and the status is not ordinary.
Later, Huang Quan was promoted all the way to the rank of Che Riding General, Yi Tong Sansi, equivalent to giving the treatment of the Three Dukes.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, The Biography of Huang Quan records: In the third year of the Jing Dynasty, in the second year of Shu Yanxi, Quan Qianqi rode a general and Yi Tongsan Division.
Finally look at Mi Fang, surrender Sun Quan, what did you get?
Mi Fang was in Liu Bei's camp, as Liu Bei's brother-in-law, stationed in Jiangling, as the seat of governance of Nan County, Mi Fang's status was certainly not ordinary, as a relative of the emperor and the state, the status was self-evident.
After Mi Fang surrendered to Sun Quan, although he was still a general, the history books did not record what the specific official position was, and it was estimated that he was also a miscellaneous general.
In Eastern Wu, Mi Fang was even humiliated many times by Sun Quan's strategist Yu Tuan.
Once, Yu Flipped over on a boat and met Mi Fang, mi Fang's men let Yu Overturn's ship avoid the general's ship, who knew that Yu Flipped scolded, unfaithful people, sacrificed two cities, and dared to call the general? Want a face?
As soon as these words came out, Mi Fang quickly avoided it, and did not dare to return the mouth.
The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" records: "Taste the boat trip, meet with The Elk Fang, the people on the Fang ship want to make the turn to avoid themselves, the pioneer said: "Avoid the general ship!" He snapped, "Disloyalty and faithfulness, why should we do things?" Pouring people into two cities, and calling the general, can you? "The fangs should not be avoided.
Another time, Yu flipped over the car, passing by Mi Fang's camp gate, Mi Fang's subordinates closed the door, Yu turned over and couldn't go, scolding, when it is time to close the door, you open the door, when you should open the door, but close the door, what kind of thing?
Mi Fang listened, and her face turned red.
The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" records that after turning over the car, it passes through the Fangying Gate, and the official closes the door, and the car cannot pass. Turning back the anger: "When the closure is reversed, when the opening is reversed, how can it be evil?" "Smell it, shame on you.
It can be seen that Mi Fang did not have a satisfactory life in Eastern Wu and was very embarrassed.
Compared with Meng Da and Huang Quan, who were valued by the emperor, one heaven and one underground were really worlds apart.
In the second year of Huang Wu (223), Mi Fang, under the command of He Qi, attacked Puchun.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Wu Lord records that in June, the generals He Qi and Liu Shao attacked Puchun.
At that time, He Qi served as a rear general, so it can be seen that Mi Fang became a subordinate of He Qi, and his official position was not high, and it was very likely that he was a miscellaneous general.
I don't know if Mi Fang surrendered to Sun Quan and regretted it?
Can a good relative of the emperor and the state be respected if he is not right, is treacherous, and goes to be a running dog for others? People must have looked down on him.
Why did Cao Pi treat Meng Da and Huang Quan kindly? And why didn't Sun Quan treat Mi Fang kindly?
Huang Quan was forced to surrender to Wei, and his deeds, as well as his speech and demeanor in the State of Wei, were not damaged, on the contrary, they were respected by Cao Pi and Sima Yi.
Meng Da lowered Wei and wrote a letter to Liu Bei before leaving, which also fulfilled his so-called human feelings, and he was forced to do so, and he was able to get by on the surface.
And Mi Fang's surrender to Sun Quan was really to take advantage of the danger of people, the key is to directly kill Guan Yu, taking advantage of the danger of people, it is estimated that even Sun Quan looked down on him.
In addition, Cao Pi treated Meng Da and Huang Quan kindly, which had the effect of attracting and buying people's hearts. In addition, Cao Pi himself was also called emperor, with supreme power and generous shots.
And Sun Quan didn't care, he didn't need to surrender anything, just sit in Jiangdong and keep his own territory. At the same time, Sun Quan did not claim the title of emperor at this time, and there was not much space in the official position, so the reward was also limited.
