The Battle of Yiling in 222 AD was one of the three major battles that determined the pattern and historical trend of the Three Kingdoms, the strength of the Shu Han Before the war reached its peak, but after the war, it plummeted, not only losing nearly 100,000 troops (including Huang Quan's soldiers and horses stationed in Jiangbei), but more importantly, several Mesozoic generals died on the battlefield, such as Zhang Nan, Feng Xi, Fu Wei, etc. Then did all the generals who accompanied the conquest die or surrender? Not so, at least five famous generals under Liu Bei in the Battle of Yiling survived, so what was their final outcome? Let's take a look at them one by one.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms - Biography of Lu Xun records: "From Wuxia and Jianping to the yiling boundary, dozens of tuns were erected, and Zhuyi was lured by the reward of Jin Jinjue, so that the general Feng Xi was the grand governor, Zhang Nan was the front, and Fu Kuang, Zhao Rong, Liao Chun, and Fu Wei were each the other governors, and Wu Ban was sent to set up camp on the flat land in order to challenge him." ”
There are seven generals mentioned in this, the highest status is the great governor Feng Xi, followed by the front pioneer Zhang Nan, Fu Kuang, Zhao Rong, Liao Chun, and Fu Wei are other governors, the status is slightly lower, Wu Ban was the leader at that time, the status should be similar to the four other governors.
Among the seven people, Zhang Nan, Feng Xi, and Fu Wei were killed in battle, and Zhao Rong was missing in the historical materials after the Battle of Yiling, and the possibility of death in battle was also very large.
Fu Kuang, Liao Chun, and Wu Ban were spared.
Liao Hua's real name was Chun(淳), the character Yuanjian ,was one of the important generals of the late Shu Han Dynasty, after Liu Chan ascended the throne, Liao Hua successively served as the commander of the Army, the Governor of Guangwu, and the Taishou of Yinping County, and participated in the Northern Expedition many times, and finally the official residence rode on the right side of the general, false festival, concurrently led and assassinated the history of the prefecture, and was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Zhongxiang, and the people of the time said: "Before there were kings and sentences, and then there were Zhang and Liao. "He lived until the second year (264) after the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records that Jianxingzhong, moving south of Zhennan, was a right general and a marquis of Fengzhong Township.
During the Jianxing period (233-237), Fu Kuang successively served as the general of Zhennan and the general of the Right, and Yang Opera's "Ji Han Fuchen Zan" commented on him as: "Zhennan is rough and strong, the supervising army is still du, and Yu Rongren is a self-appointed descendant." ”
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records that in the spring of the second year, the first main army returned to Zigui, and the generals Wu Ban and Chen Shishui army Tun Yiling were on the east and west banks of the River.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records that after the Lord's Life, he was slightly moved to the General of the Hussars, false festivals, and fengmian bamboo marquises.
Wu Ban was the brother of Liu Bei's empress Wu clan, who commanded the water army in the Battle of Yiling, which may be the reason why he survived, and Wu Ban's last official, the general of the Hu Horse Riding Horse, was one of the only few county marquises in shu Han.
In addition to the above three people, two others also escaped from the heavens: one was Chen Shi, and the other was Xiang Pet.
Chen Shi is found in the historical records in the Battle of Hanzhong, when he was repulsed by Xu Huang at Mamingge Road, and in the Battle of Yiling, he and Wu Ban led the water army together, but also survived, during Zhuge Liang's Third Northern Expedition, he alone led an army to capture Wudu and Yinping Counties, and his figure is not found in the historical records afterwards. From the perspective of status, he should be inferior to Liao Hua, Wu Ban and even Fu Kuang and others, of course, it is pure fiction that he was beheaded by Zhuge Liang in the speech.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms: A Tooth Gatekeeper when he was the First Lord. The defeat of Zi Gui was completed, and the pet camp was completed.
Xiang Pet is Xiang Lang's nephew, the battalions in the Battle of Yiling suffered heavy losses, only Xiang Pet's battalion was complete, so it can be seen that Xiang Pet's ability is still good, not only Liu Bei praised his talent, Zhuge Liang also praised him in the "Table of Departures", entrusting all the military power left behind in the rear of Chengdu to Xiang Yu, but unfortunately in 240, the Barbarian Rebellion in the Hanjia region, Xiang Pet led the troops to quell the rebellion and died on the battlefield.
After a big battle, the Shu Han Mesozoic generation generals were almost destroyed, fortunately these five people escaped, which can be described as a blessing in misfortune for Shu Han.
