The Secret of the Three Kingdoms: Is the combination of Zhang Fei and Xiahou a coincidence, or is it Cao Cao's conspiracy?
The year 221 AD was a year of hardship for Liu Bei's team, and it was also the brightest moment in Zhang Fei's life.
On that day, the peach blossoms bloomed, and Liu Bei ascended the throne with the support of all the courtiers. Subsequently, the eunuch began to announce the reward. When Zhang Fei's name was called, Zhang Fei's heart clucked. General of the Riders, this position is not the highest, and certainly not low. One of the four generals of the Han Dynasty (Great General, Hun Riding General, Che Riding General, Wei General), the military general before Zhang Fei, only the Hussar general Ma Chao. The vacancy in the position of Great General was obviously prepared for Guan Yu.
Judging from Liu Bei's reward, he can be said to be very caring for Zhang Fei, but this seems to be not enough. Soon after, Liu Bei issued a holy decree, making Liu Chan crown prince and having him marry Zhang Fei's eldest daughter.
Che Qi General, the future Taishi, Zhang Feigui is indescribable.
On the day of the marriage, Lady Xiahou personally sorted out her daughter's makeup, and the tears flowed unceasingly, lamenting the impermanence of fate.
Was the combination of Zhang Fei and Xiahou a coincidence, or was it a conspiracy by Cao Cao?
Zhang Fei and Xiahou's first meeting
The first meeting between Zhang Fei and Xiahou Shi was very dramatic.
The Wei Liu records that:
At the beginning, jian'an was five years old, and Shi Ba, from the thirteenth and fourth of his sister's year, traveled in this county, and traveled to collect trees, which was obtained by Zhang Fei. Fei knew that she was the daughter of a good family, so she thought that she was a wife, and she was the daughter of Liu Chan.
It is said above that in the fifth year of Jian'an, that is, in 200 AD, Xiahou Ba's cousin Xiahou Ba (Xiahou Yuan's second son) was caught by Zhang Fei when he went out of the city to cut firewood in Chenxian County. After questioning, Zhang Fei learned that she was a good family woman, and then he married her.
There are many doubts here.
One: It is true that Xiahou Is Xiahou Yuan's niece, but this niece is not a distant relative, but is equivalent to a daughter.
According to historical records, Xiahou Yuan once abandoned his young son for this niece, which shows that Xiahou Yuan raised her as a daughter.
Shi Yan and Yu were in chaos, and Yuan, hungry and tired, abandoned his young son, and died of his brother and orphan daughter - "Wei Luo"
Such a heart and liver baby, how could Xiahou Yuan let a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl go out to collect trees? What were so many of Xiahou Yuan's sons doing?
Second: During ancient wars, generals generally placed their families in the safest area. In 200 AD, during the Battle of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao Guandu, for the Cao Cao clique, Xuchang, the base camp, was undoubtedly the safest place, and there was no one. However, the "Wei Luo" said that Xiahou Was now in Qiao Cai, and Xiahou Yuan, as an important general of the Cao clan, could not afford to raise his daughter and throw her to his hometown?
Third: According to the wei luo, Zhang Fei is like a robber who robbed the women of the people. But the strange thing is that this robber actually agreed with the stolen people's daughter, is this not nonsense?
There are many outrageous things in "Wei Luo", the most famous of which is "Ah Dou Wandering", "Wei Liu" records that Liu Bei abandoned his family when he fled from Xiao Pei, and Ah Dou, who was several years old at the time, was taken to Hanzhong and then abducted. Liu Kuo, a fufeng man, bought Ah Dou and raised him to adulthood. 16 years later, Liu Bei took Hanzhong, and the grown-up Ah Dou remembered that his father was named Xuan De, and through a general surnamed Jian, Liu Bei and Ah Dou were recognized as father and son, and then Ah Dou became Liu Chan, the son of the prince of Hanzhong.
Because of the existence of such a "black history", many records in Wei Luo have been criticized by historians, and Pei Songzhi has also questioned it many times.
In fact, the conclusion is very simple, "Wei Luo" is lying, the combination of Zhang Fei and Xiahou Shi, the probability is not like this.
So what? This must start with Liu Guanzhang's first defection to Cao Cao.
Zhang Fei's most bizarre promotion
In 198, Liu Bei lost the battle for Xuzhou with Lü Bu and could only rely on Cao Cao. After Cao Cao defeated Lü Bu, he returned to Xuchang, and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei also returned to Cao Cao's territory.
Before that, Cao Cao and Guan Yu had caused some unpleasant trouble because of a woman.
Pei Songzhi quoted the Book of Shu: Cao Gong and Liu Bei wei Lü Bu in Xia Pi, Guan Yu QiGong, Bu envoy Qin Yilu xing for help, begging to marry his wife, Gong Xuzhi. When it is broken, it has been repeatedly revealed to the public. Suspecting that it has a different color, he sent himself to look at it, because he left it behind, and his heart was not at ease.
The "Spring and Autumn of the Wei Dynasty" quotes the "Biography of Emperor Xian" to record that his ex-wife Du Shi left Pi. When Buzhi was besieged, Guan Yu repeatedly asked Taizu to take Du Shi as his wife, and Taizu suspected that he was colored, and the city fell, and Taizu saw it, but he accepted it.
The "Huayang Guozhi" records that in the beginning, Yu followed the first lord from the gong to besiege Lü Bu in Puyang, and When Qin Yilu asked for help from Zhang Yang for Bu. Yu Qigong: "Wife is childless, go down to the city, and beg Na Yilu's wife." "Agreed. and to the gates of the city, to the white. Doubt its color, self-acceptance. After the lord and the male hunter, Yu intends to kill the male in the hunt. The Lord did not listen to the lord for the sake of the world. Gu Yu is often afraid.
From these several documents, we can see that Cao Cao robbed Guan Yu's beloved woman, and Guan Yu hated Cao Cao very much and wanted to kill him quickly.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei naturally knew about this matter.
"Wei's Spring and Autumn": Yi Lu returned to surrender, thinking that it was long. And Liu Bei walked Xiao Pei, Zhang Fei followed, and said to Yi Lu: "A man takes a wife, and for it is long, but if he is evil!" Let me go? "Yi Lu from the number, repentance, fly to kill."
Qin Yilu was really miserable, his wife was remembered by many people, and his own life was taken in.
It is said that after Liu Guanzhang arrived in Xuchang, what happened?
Although Liu Bei recognized his ancestors and returned to the emperor and became the emperor's uncle, he was also entangled with Boss Cao.
"The Biography of the Ancestors of the Three Kingdoms": The Ancestors of the Ancestors are surrounded by the Lower Pi, raw poultry cloth. The first lord regained his wife, and returned the promise from Cao Gong. The first lord of the table is the general of the left, and the more the ceremony is heavier, the more the public opinion is out, and the seat is the same seat.
When Cao Cao did this, was he idle enough to do nothing? Obviously not.
First, he was to establish an image of his own love for the people of the world; second, he wanted to put Liu Bei under house arrest through the high-ranking official Houlu, so he took the initiative to show his respect to emperor and made Liu Bei a general of the left, Yuzhou Mu.
Of course, Cao Cao would not be stupid enough to work Liu Bei alone, and he soberly realized that as long as liu Bei's younger brother was taken down, Liu Bei alone could not turn over the wind and waves.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also became the targets of Boss Cao. Only this time, Cao Cao was eyeing Zhang Fei, not Guan Yu.
As for the reason, it is very clear before, because of a woman, Cao Cao and Guan Yu are difficult to break the barrier.
As a result, Zhang Fei was inexplicably promoted and was made a general by Cao Cao. Guan Yu, on the other hand, had nothing. Guan Yu was promoted during the Battle of Guandu.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei were together every day, so where were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? Cao Cao naturally sent his younger brother to be close to them, drink and drink together, and talk about the lofty ideal of "reviving the Han Room" (in fact, brainwashing).
Zhang Fei always liked to make friends with celebrities, and soon mingled with the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers. Guan Yu despised this kind of person the most, and naturally he was relatively close to Zhang Liao and Xu Huang.
What's more, Cao Cao saw that Zhang Fei was in his 30s and had a beard, because he had been fighting for many years and had not even asked for a wife, so he specially set him a family affair, that is, to give xiahou Yuan's teenage daughter (in the name of her daughter, but actually a niece) to him.
Perhaps Cao Cao thought that in this way, Zhang Fei would become the son-in-law of the Xiahou family, and should not go away with Liu Bei again?
The results were unexpected. Xiahou Yuan was very fond of this niece and told her about zhang fei's marriage in advance. The marriage between Zhang Fei and Xiahou Shi was also widely spread, and Xu Chang knew it.
Xiahou Shi was originally a virtuous martyr (her character can be fully seen from the burial of Xiahou Yuan), and she did not want to marry anyone else except Zhang Fei. Therefore, when Zhang Fei and Liu Bei fled Xuchang, the little girl also secretly ran out of Xiahou Yuan's home and went to Xuzhou to look for Zhang Fei, but unexpectedly was disbanded by Zhang Fei's troops after being scattered by the Battle of Xuzhou, Zhang Fei inquired and learned that it was his wife who had not passed through the door, and he was very happy, and the 2 people were happy to get married.
This seems to be logical, not the Zhang Feiqiang robbing of the people's women contained in "Wei Luo".
summary
The combination of Zhang Fei and Xiahou Shi is by no means a coincidence written in "Wei Luo", it is more likely a marriage, it is Cao Cao's conspiracy, but the result is that Cao Cao was greatly surprised, not only did not keep Zhang Fei, but also took Xiahou Shi into it.
But fortunately, Zhang Fei is a good husband, and Xiahou Shi has not suffered any grievances after Zhang Fei, and he still has a lot of say. Therefore, she dared to ask Liu Bei to personally bury this uncle who had once loved her after Xiahou Yuan's death.
