Pound's former lord Gong Ma Chao and cousin Pang Rou both served in Shu Han, so why didn't Pound follow Ma Chao into Shu, but instead surrendered to Cao Cao? When rescuing Fancheng, Pound de shook Guan Yu hard and shot him in the forehead, and yu ban was flooded by the Seventh Army, both were captured by Guan Yu, as the main general Yu Ban surrendered, and Pound De, who had a relationship with an important figure in the Shu Han Dynasty, instead righteously and sternly refused Guan Yu, resulting in the fate of being cursed. Why is Pound so resolute? The person responsible for this series of problems of Pound, the first one must blame Ma Chao. Why?
Ma Chao was once a very prestigious brave general, but also a prince of the sonic shock side, on the edge of the Yellow River, once beat Cao Cao almost died, and even said "the horse does not die, I am buried in the place of burial" this kind of words, it can be seen that Cao Cao is deeply jealous of Ma Chao. Ma Chao is so powerful, but how did he fail? The main reason is that Ma Chao's enterprising spirit is too heavy and his killing spirit is too strong, which is counterproductive. For example, when he had a base area in Jizhou, Ma Chao killed Wei Kang and others, which led to the rebellion of Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, Jiang Yin, Zhao Ang, Yin Feng, Yao Qiong, Kong Xin, Li Jun, Wang Ling, Yang Yue, Liang Kuan, and others. Look at this long list of rebel princes, which is very rare in the history books. After Ma Chao was driven to Hanzhong by them, as many as eleven people were given the title of Marquis by Cao Cao, which was also very rare.
Bond
Don't think that these have nothing to do with Pound, this just shows two points, first, Ma Chao lacks political ability, has no grace, and his power will be destroyed sooner or later. Second, Ma Chao, with his own bravery, is too willful, not to mention outsiders, and even his own relatives can be sacrificed. For example, in the imperial court, his father Ma Teng, his younger brother Ma Tie and others were exterminated by the Yiwo clan, and Some of Ma Chao's own wives and sons died in Jicheng, and some fell in Hanzhong, and by the time they returned to Liu Bei, there were few relatives left around them. Fortunately, there is a brother from Di Ma Dai, and there is also a run abroad to become a hero from Di Ma Kang. Therefore, Ma Chao's approach is easy to make the people around him chill, and Ma Chao has repeatedly failed, can not see the goal and hope, Pound finally chose Cao Cao instead of the same camp as Ma Chao, these factors may exist.
What's more, Pound first followed Ma Teng, and under his command, he fought bravely, and was promoted to lieutenant by Ma Teng. Even in the Battle of Guandu, Ma Chao led Pound and others into Hanoi to help Cao Cao fight against Guo Yuan, which was also on Ma Teng's orders. And it was in this battle that Pound killed Guo Yuan himself but did not know it, until after the war and when Zhong Xuan counted in the festival, he found that the head in the bag was Zhong Yuan's nephew Guo Yuan. Pound quickly pleaded guilty, but Zhong Xuan not only did not blame, Pound was also made a general by the imperial court, duting Marquis. From this point on, it is estimated that Pound was subordinate to Cao Cao, but the "mentor" Ma Teng, who promoted Pound, was still there, although Ma Teng had already returned to the imperial court in name, but at this time, casting cao was still a traitor.
Ma Chao
However, after Ma Teng was killed, why didn't Pound immediately submit, but followed Ma Chao to fight the Battle of Tongguan, raise an army on Longshang, and so on? The reason is very simple, although Ma Teng was implicated by Ma Chao and killed, he was always killed by Cao Cao, and at this time, throwing himself at Cao Cao was equivalent to turning to the "enemy", or defecting and disloyal.
When it came time to follow Ma Chao back into Hanzhong, the opportunity came, because Ma Chao was jealous of Zhang Lu's generals Yang Bai and Yang Ang, and had to run again. Moreover, this time, Ma Chao was in a hurry, and even his concubine Dong Shi and Yizi stayed in Zhang Luna, not to mention did not take Pound with him. Therefore, Pound just stayed in Hanzhong and naturally surrendered to Cao Cao together. In fact, this time Ma Chao wants to take Pound, it is estimated that Pound will not leave, if Pound is really loyal to Ma Chao, it is really forced to surrender to Cao Cao, then Cao Cao should fight for the old lord when dealing with Ma Chao's concubine (remarriage) and son (killing), rather than farting and not putting one. Not only that, when Ma Teng was there, he could still find examples of Pound's bravery, and when he reached the Battle of Tongguan until Ma Chao borrowed Zhang Lubing to besiege Qishan, Pound seemed to have disappeared.
After surrendering to Cao Cao, Pound De, who had no merit and was a general, was worshipped as a general of Liyi, the Marquis of Guanmen Pavilion, and three hundred households, and at this time, Pound was even more grateful to Dade. When Cao Cao asked Pound to go on the expedition, there were still people in the dprk who doubted his loyalty, and Pound had to prove his "innocence", so he had a performance outside Fancheng. Liu Bei failed to get Pound, the first responsibility is Ma Chao, and the second responsible person is Liu Bei, who deserves it. Because, if Liu Bei had obeyed Pang Tong's strategy, he would have captured Bashu a day earlier. They captured Hanzhong a day earlier, and Ma Chao and Pound De could not run. Or after capturing Bashu, don't waste time back in Jingzhou, Lü Meng secretly attacked the three counties, and the Xiangshui boundary was only to regain one county, it was not as efficient as attacking Hanzhong in the Zhang Lu period earlier, not in Hanzhong in Cao Cao's time, Ma Chao surrendered, and Pound naturally could not run.
