Regarding the death of Zhang Fei, some netizens have published articles speculating that this is a big conspiracy, Liu Bei is the mastermind, and Fan Qiang and Zhang Da just act as swords and axemen. What is his basis? First, Zhang Fei is highly skilled in martial arts, there should be a guard next to him, why would he be killed by two subordinates, and even this point of vigilance? (It must be Liu Bei secretly helping) Second, after Fan Qiang and Zhang Da killed Zhang Fei, why could they still retreat and flee to Eastern Wu? Third, Zhang Fei was dissatisfied with Liu Bei's appointment of Wei Yan as the Taishou of Hanzhong, and the brothers had long been at odds.
From the records of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we can understand that Zhang Fei was killed on the way to Eastern Wu after Guan Yu was killed and Liu Bei became emperor. At that time, Liu Bei was bent on destroying Eastern Wu and revenge for the loss of Jingzhou and Guan Yu, so he made an agreement with Zhang Fei to set off from Langzhong and meet in Jiangzhou. However, the history books do not record the specific circumstances of Zhang Fei's killing. The record in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is that Zhang Fei was drunk, and he flogged the generals and gave him an insurmountable task, so he was assassinated.
It is because of this premise that Fan Jiang and Zhang Da feel that they may not be able to save their lives, so they want to preemptively attack, so they sneak into Zhang Fei's palace to kill him after he is drunk. This is the reason why Zhang Fei was killed by Fan Jiang and Zhang Da. But many people do not believe in this kind of talk, on the contrary, they prefer to believe that Zhang Fei was actually killed by Zhuge Liang.
Was the fierce general Zhang Fei really drunk and sleeping and killed? Why are there no pro-soldiers guarding the door? About Zhang Fei sleeping drunk and then being killed by Fan Qiang and Zhang Da, it is just a fictional plot of Luo Guanzhong in the novel for the sake of the needs of the story. In fact, the history books do not record in detail, and the detailed process may only be known to Zhang Da and Fan Qiang. However, the fictional plot in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, carefully considered, is a bit unreliable. Zhang Fei is also the supreme general of the army, sleeping should have his own tent, the pro-soldiers should also have good kung fu, how can they be easily killed while sleeping?
Liu Bei received the governor's watch, and without opening the letter, he sighed: Zhang Fei is dead. How did he predict the prophet? This doubt makes some people think that liu bei is related to Zhang Fei's death, and whether it is to clear the obstacle for Liu Chan to become emperor. In my opinion, this is absolutely impossible. The reason why Liu Bei said this is recorded in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, saying that Zhang Fei has always been more polite to celebrities and treated his subordinates extremely badly. Liu Bei advised him that it was easy for you to treat the next person badly and often punish them, but it was easy to leave them around and do things. Zhang Fei did not listen, and he would remain the same in the future. If it were not for the urgent military situation, the governor would not have come in person, and it was under the circumstances of agreeing with Zhang Fei to meet in Jiangzhou, combined with Zhang Fei's usual behavior, it would not be surprising that Liu Bei guessed Zhang Fei's fate.
