Introduction: In history, there are many people who see the wind and make the rudder, they are good at monopolizing and taking advantage of the situation, which camp gives superior conditions to join which camp, and betraying their own protagonists to maximize their interests, there is no morality at all. And this kind of person not only can't do good things and sometimes even do bad things, many of them appear in front of the eyes of the world as a shit-stirring stick. The Three Kingdoms is an era of war, and people in this era have done everything in order to survive, and a particularly well-known churning stick has emerged.
This churning stick is Meng Da, he is a Fufeng person, after the end of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he thinks that there will be chaos in the world in the future, so he takes his good friend Fa Zheng to Yizhou for refuge. At that time, the Dongzhou clique represented by Liu Zhang of Yizhou and the local shi clan were vying for the dominance of Yizhou, and Meng Da believed that the Dongzhou clique would win, so he persuaded Fa Zheng to defect to Liu Zhang, and the two also became small officials in the county. Although the small officials are powerless and powerless, they have no worries about food and clothing, and they can also be promoted through political achievements, and Meng Da also believes that there is a great chance of moving by his own means.
After Liu Zhang completely controlled Yizhou, he wantonly squeezed out the local warriors of Yizhou, and Meng Da and Fa Zheng were promoted. But later Meng Da found that he was not Liu Zhang's concubine and would never rise, so he looked for a family, and when he heard that Liu Bei had won the Battle of Chibi and also captured Jingzhou, Meng Da keenly felt that Liu Bei would annex Yizhou, so he consulted with Fazheng, Zhang Song and other friends to defect to Liu Bei. In the end, it was decided that Zhang Song would be used as an emissary to bring the topographic map of Yizhou as a gift, indicating that he could cooperate with all the actions of Liu Bei into Shu.
The development of follow-up events was the same as Meng Da expected, Liu Bei led the elite troops of Jingzhou to quickly attack Yizhou, the weak Liu Zhang and the Yizhou army were vulnerable in front of Liu Bei, two years later Liu Bei became the lord of Yizhou, Meng Da, Fazheng and others made a qualitative leap by merit and became the leader of the "Yizhou faction". Fa Zheng was appointed as a military division by Liu Bei, who was able to understand the enemy situation and was arranged by Liu Bei to be a Taishou on the front line, responsible for guarding the eastern gate of Shu Han and cooperating with Guan Yu's Northern Expedition, and Meng Da nominally became a feudal official.
After Guan Yu's defeat, Jingzhou was also divided between Eastern Wu and Cao Wei, at this time Meng Da was keenly aware of the transformation from prosperity to decline, and his own soldiers and horses in Shangyong alone would certainly not be able to resist Cao Wei, so he wrote to Cao Cao that he himself was going to surrender to the Shangyong region, but Cao Cao ignored it at that time. After Cao Pi ascended to the throne, Meng Da wrote a letter again to surrender, and Cao Pi, who had just ascended to the throne, was worried that he had no chance to establish his prestige, and Meng Da's surrender just showed his legitimacy, and immediately agreed to Meng Da's request, and also gave Meng Da the title of official. After receiving the reply, Meng Da originally wanted to pull Liu Feng to surrender together, but Liu Feng refused. Meng Da also pointed out, transferred personnel and deployment, and then took Shangyong County to join Cao Wei, and he himself became an official and red person of Cao Wei, and the scenery was infinite for a time.
After Cao Pi's death, Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, Cao Rui was not as good as Cao Pi, and the current Cao Wei state strength was unprecedentedly strong and talented, he did not like Meng Da's subordinates, so he began to alienate Meng Da. Meng Da obviously felt Cao Rui's attitude, at this time Zhuge Liang was engaged in the Northern Expedition, Meng Da Lingji wanted to return to Shu Han, so he wrote to Zhuge Liang. Although Zhuge Liang disgusted Meng Da's approach, if Meng Da surrendered, he had no choice but to be bad for Shu Han, so he agreed to Meng Da's request and agreed with him to start a military, so Meng Da was called the biggest churning stick in the Three Kingdoms period by later netizens.
The letters of Meng Da and Zhuge Liang were intercepted by Cao Wei's spies and reported to Sima Yi, who asked Cao Rui to act as soon as possible to resolve the matter, and Cao Rui agreed to the plan. Sima Yi thought that Meng Da was definitely not well prepared now, so he spent eight days rushing thousands of miles to Shangyong City, and Meng Da was beheaded by Sima Yi before he could react. And Meng Da, as a wall grass, will naturally not be welcomed by people, and there will be a leaked secret letter. Since Cao Wei dared to accept Meng Da, it meant that he had the certainty of subduing him, and Meng Da's bottom cards were all clearly touched by Sima Yi, and death at his hands was also an inevitable phenomenon.
