As the old saying goes, victory and defeat are common to soldiers, and among the many famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, there are many people who have lost battles, for example, Zhao Yun encountered Cao Allah force in the Battle of Jigu and was defeated, Zhang Hao was defeated by Zhang Fei in the Battle of Bashi County, Cao Xiu was defeated by Eastern Wu in the Battle of Shiting, etc., although the defeat did not affect their merits.
However, there are three famous generals in the Three Kingdoms, but because of a defeat, they have lost all of them, almost destroyed all their achievements, who are they?
First, Guan Yu.
As we all know, Guan Yu was a famous general of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, brave and good at war, when the siege of Baima was lifted, Cema beheaded Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang in the Wan army, in the Battle of Xiangfan, Guan Yu repeatedly won in the early stages, flooded the Seventh Army, threatened Huaxia, and frightened Cao Cao to move the capital to avoid Guan Yu's front.
However, in the later stages of the Battle of Xiangfan, Guan Yu was defeated by Maicheng because Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to cross the river in white clothes and sneak into Jingzhou, and was ambushed by the Wu army, and was captured and killed by Pan Zhang's subordinate Ma Zhong.
Guan Yu's life's achievements, because of this defeat, were almost completely destroyed. Guan Yu's defeat and loss of Jingzhou also led to the inability of Zhuge Liang's strategic plan to "Longzhong".
After Guan Yu's death, Liu Chan posthumously honored Guan Yu as the Marquis of Zhuangmiao. The "Chronicle of Guan Yu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms" records: Posthumously Yu Yu Zhuang Miao Hou.
This one nickname, Miao Zi, obviously has a pejorative color, and Guan Yu's life's achievements are almost destroyed.
Chen Shou, author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", commented on Guan Yu: "Rigid and self-effacing, defeated by short.
It can be said that Guan Yu was greatly affected by a defeat, and his merits were greatly affected, which is very regrettable.
Second, Yu Forbidden.
Yu Ban was one of the five sons of Cao Wei, and the only one among the five sons to receive the power of the false festival, and was the first person with a foreign surname.
Yu Ban fought many victorious battles in his lifetime, for example, the four generals such as QiaoRui, in the Battle of Wancheng, strict military discipline, defeating Zhang Xiu's pursuers, defending Yanjin to resist Shao, etc., all achieved great results.
However, in the Battle of Xiangfan, Yu Ban was overwhelmed by han water due to a continuous autumn rain, and lost to Guan Yu, who himself was captured and subsequently surrendered.
Because of this defeat, coupled with the late festival, Yu Ban's life's achievements were almost ruined.
Although Yu Ban was sent back to the State of Wei by Sun Quan, Cao Pi did not kill Yu Ban, but Yu Ban was eventually humiliated and killed by Cao Pi.
After Yu Ban's death, he was posthumously honored as Marquis Li. The "Three Kingdoms Zhi Yu Forbidden Biography" records: Forbidden Li Hou.
This nickname, Li Zi, is obviously pejorative.
Chen Shou, the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, commented on the five sons of liangjun: Taizu Jianzi martial arts, and the good general of the time, the five sons are the first. Yu Ban is the most resolute, but Furk ends.
Among them, the tragic end of Yu Ban is particularly mentioned.
The third place, Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan was a famous general of Cao Wei, one of the great generals of the Cao clan, and the most trusted and relied general of Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan swept through Qiang, hubu passed the right, was good at fighting sports battles, attacked the enemy for thousands of miles, and was the military commander of Cao Cao's western military front.
Xiahou Yuan fought many victorious battles in his life, such as beheading Song Jian and chasing ma Chao, however, because of the Battle of Dingjun Mountain, he was careless with the enemy and led three hundred soldiers to repair antlers, and was killed by Huang Zhong's surprise attack.
Xiahou Yuan was killed, and Cao Cao was distraught, like breaking an arm, and suffering heavy losses.
After Xiahou Yuan's death, he was posthumously honored as the Marquis of Huan. The "Biography of Xiahou Yuan of the Three Kingdoms Chronicle" records: 谥曰愍侯.
Although this title is not pejorative, Xiahou Yuan was defeated and killed at the Battle of Dingjun Mountain, leaving people with the image of a reckless man, and his life's achievements were almost destroyed.
Cao Cao once warned Xiahou Yuan: In order to be cowardly, you must not be brave. It will be based on courage and wisdom in action; but it will be brave to know and be brave, and a pawn will be an enemy ear.
The courage of Pifu and the lack of wisdom and strategy have almost become the label of Xiahou Yuan, which shows that once a defeated battle, the reputation is completely destroyed.
