At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and at that time, countless tyrants took advantage of the situation and intended to compete for hegemony. At the same time, countless strategists have emerged, who want to become the children of the Ming Lord; and the fierce generals who are known for their bravery are innumerable. However, like the talent, there is one more thing that makes the owl male, that is, the elite soldier. Familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, it is not difficult for us to know that there were many elite troops in that era, such as Yuan Shao had "First Deng Dead Soldiers", Gongsun Zhan had "White Horse Yicong", Liu Bei had "White Yi Soldiers", Cao Cao had "Tiger and Leopard Riding", Sun Quan had "Relief Soldiers" and so on. However, only one of these elite troops has been praised in the history books. That is the "trapped camp" under Lü Bu's command.
The "Book of Heroes" records: "(Gao Shun)'s more than 700 soldiers, numbered to a thousand, the armor and fighting tools are all refined and neat, and those who are unbreakable in each attack are called trap camps." This means that Gao Shun has only seven hundred pieces under his command, claiming to be a thousand people, and the armor and weapons are equipped at will, that is to say, they can be put into war anytime and anywhere. This unit was almost invincible and invincible in battle, after all, Gao Shun had the record of defeating Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xiahou Huan and others, so it was called "trapped camp". Speaking of this, some people may say that Gao Shun is Lü Bu's loyalist that no one can match, how could he betray Lü Bu and kill him? In fact, although the trapped camp was created by Gao Shun, he was not the only commander of the trapped camp. What's going on?
Also in the "Hero Chronicle", there is such a sentence: "Bu knows his loyalty, but he cannot use it." After the cloth was reversed from Hao Meng, it was more smooth. Yi Wei continued to have relatives from the outside and inside, and the generals of Xi Daishun continued to follow. And when the battle was attacked, therefore The general Shun continued to lead the troops, and Shun did not have any hatred in the end. This means that Lü Bu knew that Gao Shun was loyal, but he could not rely on him, especially after Hao Meng plotted against him, he was even more distrustful of outsiders, so he seized Gao Shun's military power and handed it over to Wei Xu, who was related to him. It's just that Wei Continuity's ability is not good, and when there is a war, the "trapped camp" still needs Gao Shun's command. Leaving aside Gao Shun's stubbornness and foolish loyalty, it is not difficult for us to know that in the later period, the real commander of the "trapped camp" has become Wei Xu.
So who is such a Wei Xu? In addition to the fact that he was related to Lü Bu and trusted by Lü Bu, another record is that he betrayed Lü Bu. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms Lü Bu records: "Although Bu was brave and courageous, he had no plans and was suspicious, and could not control his party, but believed in the generals." The generals have different intentions and doubts, so they lose many battles. In March, Taizu Wei was divided up and down, and he bound Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei to the Chen Palace and lowered them. Bu and his men ascended the White Gate Tower. The siege of the army is urgent, but it is falling. ”
The gist of this passage is that Lü Bu was brave and resourceful, could not control his subordinates well, was often suspicious, but trusted Wei Xu, Song Xian and other generals. However, these generals were not in unison, and each of them had their own small calculations, so under Cao Cao's attack, they were repeatedly defeated, and after being surrounded by Cao Cao for three months, they were completely separated from Lü Bu. At this time, these generals, who were quite trusted by Lü Bu, not only defected to Cao Cao themselves, but also took Lü Bu's soldiers and horses, and kidnapped Lü Bu's adviser Chen Gong, so that Lü Bu fell into a desperate situation, forcing Lü Bu to go downstairs to Cao Cao to surrender, and then was hanged by Cao Cao.
Familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, we have to admit that Lü Bu was indeed a repetitive villain, he betrayed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, and took revenge on Liu Bei Zeng'en, and then oscillated between the imperial court and Yuan Shu. He was also not a qualified leader, Zhang Liao had not been able to stand out under him, and Gao Shun was loyal but could not be reused. However, he never apologized to Wei Xu, but instead trusted and relied heavily on Wei Xu. However, Wei Xu betrayed the lord and sought glory at a critical moment, not only betraying Lü Bu, but also forcing Lü Bu to a dead end, calling him one of Lü Bu's murderers and never wronged. I don't know the image of such a villain, and it was cao cao's army that besieged the city, and only then did he choose to surrender, what kind of situation would he have in the Cao Wei camp? It is estimated that in the face of such an unfaithful and unrighteous person, and there is no talent, Cao Cao will not be soft-hearted, right?
