As the saying goes, hard work will be rewarded, and effort will be rewarded. Can this be fully believed? The answer is definitely no, just like these six heroes of the Three Kingdoms period, although they did their best for the Lord, but in the end they were wrongfully killed, and the death was not worth it at all.
Speaking of being unjustly killed, perhaps the most reminiscent of The Shu Han's Zhenbei general Wei Yan, Wei Yan fought for Liu Bei all his life, guarding the city, but in the end he died at the hands of his own people, and at the same time was destroyed by the three tribes, which is how sad.
Regarding Wei Yan's death, some friends may say that Wei Yan rebelled against the Shu kingdom, it is simply a death and a death, and the three tribes that were wiped out are not hated! But in fact, Wei Yan had no intention of rebellion at all!
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records: "The original Yan intended not to surrender to Wei in the north but to return to the south, but to get rid of the killing instruments and so on." ”
The above is recorded by Mr. Chen Shou, a Shu Han historian, and in the historical data, Chen Shou explained that Wei Yan just wanted to get rid of Yang Yi and had no intention of rebellion at all! At the same time, Hao Jing of the Yuan Dynasty also believed that at that time, Yang Yi beheaded Wei Yan and reported to Shu Han because of his private anger, which eventually led to the annihilation of the three clans of Wei Yan, which was actually a crime floating in Yan, and Yang Yi was the real Shu Han villain!
In any case, Wei Yan was killed by Shu Han's own people, and it was very tragic, but in the entire Three Kingdoms, Wei Yan was not the most unjustly killed, among the six heroes who died the most unjustly in the Three Kingdoms, Wei Yan was only the third to last! So, which of the heroes in the Three Kingdoms were worse than Wei Yan? Who are the six heroes of the wrongful death?
Sixth place: Xu You
Xu You, Xu Ziyuan. At first, Xu You was the chief strategist under Yuan Shao's account, but during the Battle of Guandu, because Yuan Shao did not listen to his good plans, and because his family was taken into custody by Yuan Shao for committing crimes, Xu You defected to Cao Cao. He also suggested that Cao Cao use the strategy of raiding Wuchao grain and grass, so that Yuan Shao's army and horses would lose grain and grass, although there were many soldiers, they would undoubtedly be defeated.
"The Biography of Cao Concealment": "The lone army is alone, there is no rescue outside, and the grain and grain have been exhausted, and this day of crisis is also." Now the Yuan clan has more than 10,000 multipliers, in the old city, Wuchao, the Tun army is not strictly prepared; now it is attacked by light troops, unexpectedly, burned its accumulation, but three days, the Yuan clan also defeated itself. ”
From the above historical data, it can be seen that Cao Cao's decisive plan to attack Yuan Shao's Wuchao was indeed from Xu You's hand. At that time, Cao Cao was in an embarrassing situation with no external support and not much grain and grass inside, and if the stalemate continued, Cao Cao was bound to be killed by Yuan Shao! However, Xu You's clever plan not only gave Cao Cao a chance to breathe, but also could hit Yuan Shao's morale, and finally defeat Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu.
Overall, Xu You was a great contributor to Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shao, and if there was no Xu You, Cao Cao would have to spend a lot of effort to defeat Yuan Shao quickly! However, Xu You's final fate was to be killed by Cao Wei. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, xu chu was beheaded, but in history, Xu You was first taken into custody by Cao Cao and then beheaded.
"Wei Liu": You, Gu said left and right: "If this family has to be me, it is not allowed to enter or leave this door." "Whoever has whiteness, he will receive it."
Xu You's words and deeds are indeed somewhat negligent, but sin does not lead to death! In any case, Xu You can also be regarded as a meritorious man who died a relatively tragic death.
Fifth place: Meng Da
Meng Da, word degree. At first, Meng Da was a Shu Han official, and when Liu Bei entered Shu, Meng Da and Fazheng took the lead in welcoming Liu Bei into Shu, and they could also be regarded as Liu Bei's heroes in Entering Shu, so after Liu Bei got Chengdu, he made Meng Da the Taishou of Yidu. However, in 219 AD, Guan Yu's Northern Expedition was defeated, while Meng Da and Liu Feng, who were in Shangyong at the time, did not move and refused to take the initiative to rescue Guan Yu. In the end, Guan Yu was defeated and killed, and at this time, Meng Da directly defected to Cao Wei.
Before defecting to Cao Wei, he also wrote a letter to Liu Bei, presumably thanking Liu Bei for his promotion and trust, but had to leave Shu, because Liu Feng was too strong, not only often bullied, but also suppressed him at any time.
After Liu Bei saw the letter, he resented Meng Da's rebellion on the one hand, and on the other hand wanted to deal with Liu Feng. For Cao Wei, Meng Da led the family troops to defect was also a hero, and Cao Pi also appointed Meng Da as a general of The Scattered Horse and Jianwu, commanding Fangling, Shangyong, and Xicheng, and Meng Da became a great enemy of shu Han for a time.
However, when Cao Pi died, Meng Da was jealous of the Cao Wei clique. At the time of Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang fought each other, and they took Meng Da as the primary breakthrough, so Meng Da was also served by Sima Yi! Meng Da was a hero for both Shu Han and Cao Wei, but his final fate was that Shu Han and Cao Wei would not tolerate him, which was really tragic!
Fourth place: Wei Yan
As mentioned above, Wei Yan's brother is also considered to be unlucky, although he met a confidant boss, but he has a low eye and never has a good relationship with his colleagues. When Liu Bei was alive, there were still people to take care of him, and once Liu Bei died, then Wei Yan's circle of relations would be very awkward.
In Shuzhong, at least two of them had a bad relationship with Wei Yan, one named Yang Yi and the other named Liu Yan. These two people only dared to openly go through with Wei Yan, and there were also many people who secretly did not like Wei Yan's estimation. For example, after Zhuge Liang's death, Fei Yi, who went to Wei Yan's tent to inquire about the situation, first stabilized it in front of Wei Yan, then quickly returned to the base camp, and finally wrote a letter to express his opinion, believing that Wei Yan might rebel.
At that time, Liu Chan consulted with all the ministers of the DPRK and agreed that Wei Yan might rebel, and Yang Yi did not have the strength to rebel. In the end, Liu Chan took Wei Yan down and wiped out all three of his clans.
For Wei Yan, his fate was so unfair to him! Wei Yan devoted the most wonderful years of his life to Shu Han, but he was killed by his colleagues, and even the family of the three tribes was executed by Liu Chan. However, in the ranking of the six heroes, Wei Yan was only the third to last!
Third place: Gao Shun
Gao Shun, one of Lü Bu's generals. Gao Shun once led a unit called the "Trap Camp", which was composed of elite soldiers, and the armor and weapons used were all well-trained and neat, and under the leadership of Gao Shun, they all strictly observed military discipline and had very strong combat capabilities. At that time, Lü Bu used the trapped camp to deal with Liu Bei, and as a result, Liu Bei was beaten to a terrible end.
As the commander of the trapped camp, Gao Shun was a very majestic and strict governor who never drank alcohol. In addition, Gao Shun was very loyal, and although Lü Bu was unkind and unjust, Gao Shun was always willing to follow him. Presumably, Lü Bu also had superiority, otherwise how could Chen Gong and Gao Shun follow him?
Sima Guang's "Heirloom Collection": Or ask Chen Deng and Gao Shun to have superior talents, and Lü Bu.
After Lü Bu assassinated Dong, he was based on no city and had to go to the battlefield almost every day, especially when he was in the place of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and he also had to worry about whether his small life would be taken by them. Gao Shun's presence not only helped Lü Bu solve his troubles, but also played an important role in Lü Bu's attack on the Battle of Puyang, in which the Black Mountain Army participated.
It is no exaggeration to say that Gao Shun is a great hero under Lü Bu's account, but a hero like this, Lü Bu does not listen to his good words.
"Heroes": Shun every admonition, saying, "Whoever breaks the family and destroys the country, he who is not loyal and wise is also wise, but he does not see the ear." The general's actions, unwilling to think about it, are happy to say wrongly, and the mistakes are uncountable."
The above historical data is Gao Shun's advice to Lü Bu, but Lü Bu did not listen to his words, and eventually ended up with a defeat and death, and the end of the rebellion. And Gao Shun? Although he was a hero of Lü Bu, he was eventually buried with Lü Bu. It is true that dying is not worth it, and nothing remains except the fulfillment of the reputation of foolishness.
Second place: Zhang Gao
Zhang Gao also followed many bosses in his life, the first being Han Fu, then following Yuan Shao, and then following Cao Cao later. Zhang Gao followed Zhang Liao to Set Huainan, then with Xiahou Yuan to Pingliang Prefecture, and then with Cao Cao to fight Hanzhong. After the Battle of DingjunShan, Zhang Gao marched on behalf of the marshal and calmly commanded Cao Wei's soldiers and horses to retreat.
Zhang Gao initially fought liu bei, and although Liu Bei was not prepared to attack him, he still did not take advantage of it. And Zhang Gao himself is also known for his dexterity in using troops and being good at lining up camps against the enemy. During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Zhang Hao easily broke Ma Chen's camp at the street pavilion, and eventually let Zhuge Liang return without success.
Because Zhang Liao was good at using soldiers, he became a person that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were jealous of. For Liu Bei, the first soldiers were not as good as Zhang Gao, the second front was not as good as Zhang Gao, and the third soldier was even less dexterous than Zhang Gao, so that Zhang Gao had completely become Liu Bei's nemesis!
However, Zhang Gao's final outcome was also very tragic, although he was already a hero of Cao Wei in the later period, but he was eventually killed by Sima Yi, knowing that Zhuge Liang had retreated, Sima Yi still insisted on sending Zhang Gao to pursue! In the end, Zhang Gao was shot and killed by Jiang Wei and other Shu troops, and as a hero of Cao Wei, I am afraid that even he himself would not have thought that there would be such an ending.
Just as the so-called official was at the first level, crushing people to death, if Zhang Hao had not obeyed Sima Yi's orders at that time, presumably he would not have died easily. To put it bluntly, Zhang Gao was pit by Sima Yi, and Sima Yi wanted to get rid of dissidents, but what about Zhang Gao? He only wanted to be a hero of Cao Wei.
Number one: Deng Ai
Among the heroes of the Six Great Wrongful Deaths of the Three Kingdoms, Deng Ai was ranked first. The mention of Deng Ai will remind people of Jiang Wei's allusion to the murder of the Three Sages in that year, when the later lord Liu Chan did not listen to Jiang Wei's words, and he did not do any defensive work in Chengdu. And Jiang Wei? Also far away in Tuntian, waiting for Shu Han to react, Zhong Hui and his party had already entered Hanzhong, while Jiang Wei, Liao Hua and others were only guarding in Jiange Town, planning to have a final confrontation with Zhong Hui, and they also had to defend this last barrier.
However, when Jiang Wei confronted Zhong Hui, the other person crossed the difficult Yinping County, so that he could bypass the Shu Han city pass and enter the Shu Han hinterland. This person was Deng Ai, and after Deng Ai successfully smuggled yinping, he quickly pushed towards Chengdu, during which he also defeated Zhuge Liang's son, Zhuge Zhan, who came to block the attack.
Later, without much effort, Liu Chan announced his surrender in Chengdu. Jiang Wei, Liao Hua, and others had to take a knife to cut stones in the Sword Pavilion, and later received An edict from Liu Chan, which Jiang Wei superficially accepted, but in fact was thinking about how to use Zhong Hui's ambitions to restore the country.
On the other hand, Deng Ai was in Chuanzhong, representing the emperor's will, and directly conferred on Liu Chan, including the former princes and ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty, and gave them titles and officials. Deng Ai's move was tantamount to digging his own grave. This gave Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui the opportunity to take this opportunity to report to Sima Zhao, so Deng Ai was eventually imprisoned and killed!
Deng Ai was a man who was a completely loyal man, but he should never have been given the title of the original official of the Shu Han Dynasty in the name of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court. However, this point was also made up by Zhong Hui and others, and in the end, Deng Ai died at the hands of his own people. Moreover, Deng Ai's heirs in Luoyang were killed, while his wife and grandson were exiled to distant places.
It can be said that such a loyal minister as Deng Ai has ended up in such a fate can really be said to be unbearable. However, it is gratifying that Deng Ai was rehabilitated by the imperial court during the Jin Dynasty, which can also be regarded as a compensation for Deng Ai.
