It is said that in the midst of war, it is very fortunate to have a powerful general, in order to obtain a good general, every leader will find ways to find their own satisfactory talents, such a situation has been throughout the dynasties, especially in the Three Kingdoms period.
During the Three Kingdoms period, eight famous generals were all from Nanyang, and in the end, Cao Cao and Sima Yi each received only one person, and the remaining six chose to join Liu Bei's command. I have to say that Liu Bei does have an extraordinary personality charm, so who are the eight famous generals who are favored by the three people in power?
The first one is
Deng Ai
。
He was Sima Yi's courtier, and although all the official positions he held in his life were given to him by Cao Wei, in Deng Ai's heart, Sima Yi was the one he wanted to be loyal to. Without Sima Yi's favor, he would not have had the opportunity to go from a low-level official step by step to the position of lieutenant. Therefore, after Sima Yi took away the power of Cao Wei, Deng Ai justifiably did things for Sima Yi, and later destroyed the Shu state, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he served Sima Yi all his life.
Second place
Civilian employment
Before the Outbreak of the Battle of Guandu, it was thought that Zhang Xiu chose to defect to Cao Cao, and Nanyang also fell into Cao Cao's hands, so many generals in Nanyang at that time were thinking about whether to follow Cao Cao.
Wen Ping was also in Nanyang at that time, but in the end he was the only famous general who chose to defect to Cao Cao, and then he was entrusted by Cao Cao with heavy responsibilities, responsible for guarding Jiangxia for decades. During this period, Liu Bei also thought about this place and wanted to take this place, so he specially sent Guan Yu over, but he did not get any good, and later Sun Quan personally came to try to take this place, but in the end he did not get any cheap, indicating that he was really a very powerful defender of the city.
Except for these two people, all the remaining six people chose to defect to Liu Bei.
Huang Zhong
Considered to be the most famous of these six people, he was Liu Biao's subordinate at that time, and then followed Liu Pan to Changsha to garrison, from here it can be seen that he joined the army in Jingzhou very early, and his official position in the army is not low.
After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei sent a large army to attack Changsha, and it was at this time that Huang Zhong surrendered with Taishou, because he had his own strength, so he was quickly reused by Liu Bei, and finally the general was paid homage to Hou.
Wei Yan
Is also one of Liu Bei's more trusted people, he followed Liu Bei for a long time, after Liu Bei became emperor Wei Yan became Hanzhong Taishou, this official position is very large, to know that the beginning of Liu Bei is the King of Hanzhong, and now the position of Hanzhong Taishou has been given to Wei Yan, which is enough to explain Wei Yan's position in the emperor's heart.
Li Yan was also one of the famous generals of Nanyang recruited by Liu Bei, and after Liu Bei's death, Li Yan and Zhuge Liang became the ministers of Tuoguo together, originally thinking that he would have better development after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, but because he was suppressed by Zhuge Liang in the open and secret, the power behind him became smaller and smaller, and finally he was reduced to the depressed people.
Finally, fu Tong's father and son were killed, one of them was killed for Liu Beining's death and did not surrender, and the other was also killed when the town guard closed the gate, the soldiers were defeated and unwilling to surrender and were killed, these eight people were loyal and brave, but Liu Bei was lucky, and six of the eight did things for him.
