When Liu Bei was in exile, this person was always loyal, why did Liu Bei claim to be the empress dowager but he defected to Eastern Wu

Speaking of the history of the Three Kingdoms Shu Han period, the author will tell you today about Mi Fang, a relatively special figure, when Liu Bei's career has been fluctuating, and he himself is upside down and displaced, Mi Fang will contribute his family wealth to fight with Liu Bei, he is also loyal, and he suffered a lot with Liu Bei, but after Liu Bei successfully became emperor and established the Shu Han regime, Mi Fang betrayed Liu Bei, took the initiative to surrender to Eastern Wu, and surrendered to Sun Quan.

Throughout Mi Fang's life, as the most loyal follower of Liu Bei's early days, he accompanied Liu Bei through many difficult years, and when Liu Bei had been frustrated, Mi Fang did not abandon liu bei and has been firmly following Liu Bei, but why did he finally surrender to Sun Quan? Obviously, this exposed his shortcomings, that is, it was easier to shake and weak, with Mi Fang's ability, he might not be able to defeat the strong with weakness like Zhang Liao, but he held on to the city for a few days, even if he was unfortunately defeated, he could still let go.

According to the analysis of some data in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in fact, the reasons why Mi Fang chose to surrender were roughly the following four points:

First of all, it can also be said that it is a more important point, at that time Guan Yu was more highly valued by Liu Bei, he rarely put other people in his eyes except for Liu Bei and his righteous brother Zhang Fei, Guan Yu also looked down on Mi Fang, not to mention calling Mi Fang a brother, that Mi Fang must have some other ideas in his heart, but because of the cowardly side hidden in his personality, he did not show it.

Second, because of the problem of grain and grass reserves, Guan Yu had warned Mi Fang before, and if the army lost its territory this time, Mi Fang would definitely be blamed by Guan Yu, and according to Guan Yu's personality, guan Yu would certainly not spare Guan Mi Fang. Although everyone knows that in that era, natural disasters were continuous, and long years of war, it was a very difficult thing to fill the stomach, not to mention the reserve of grain, but these sufferings, Mi Fang could only rot in the stomach, there was no way to account, this came and went, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren were afraid of being punished by Guan Yu, so they chose to surrender to Eastern Wu.

The third point, this and Mi Fang's personality have a big reason, whether to keep or not to be able to keep is a problem of ability, to keep is not to keep is a problem of attitude, Mi Fang can be said to be neither capable nor attitude, completely disregarding the situation of his wife and children and brother in the Shu kingdom, fortunately Liu Bei did not give a dead hand, otherwise he could only be a lonely man.

Fourth, in fact, Fu Shiren's surrender and the enemy's abduction also occupied a certain factor. Perhaps at the beginning, Jing Fang did not consider the idea of surrendering to the enemy army at all, after all, after following Liu Bei for so many years, in fact, he also had feelings, but after Fu Shiren surrendered, Guan Yu in the front could not return to the aid in time, even if he came back, he would not give him a good look, in this isolated and helpless time, Jing Fang could only surrender happily.

However, the author believes that even if there are these reasons, Jing Fang should not surrender, to say that he was lured or fell into the end of the road, or Guan Yu's contemptuous problem, which is what he encountered when he first started following Liu Bei, it is a small witch, in the early years he could abandon everything and choose to follow Liu Bei, how did he surrender at this time?

In fact, Jing Fang turned his back on Liu Bei at this time, it was precisely because Liu Bei made him feel desperate, after Liu Bei became emperor, Jing Fang lived a very undignified life under Guan Yu, Guan Yu was very much valued by Liu Bei, so Liu Bei turned a blind eye to his brother, plus Liu Bei became the emperor, Jing Fang could not complain to Liu Bei as before, which showed that he was very depressed in his heart.

After being surrounded by Lü Meng's large army, Jing Fang's situation was really embarrassing, even if he was lucky enough to defend the city, he had no benefit, because he had not completed the task of collecting grain before, he had already committed a major crime, then this time he did not defend the city pool, you can imagine what is waiting for him, so in this case, Jing Fang is desperate, he can only take the initiative to choose to surrender.
