It is said that Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms is a real self-made family, this is true, although Liu Bei has the title of a relative of the Han Dynasty, but in his generation, he has long been in the middle of the family, weaving mats and selling shoes for a living, and Liu Bei is destined to be a person who has become a big thing, although the first half of his life is turbulent and displaced, he can always meet noble people to help, Mi Fang's family is one of Liu Bei's nobles, but unfortunately, he was deeply trusted by Liu Bei, and should be Liu Bei's left arm, Mi Fang, who should be Liu Bei's right arm, finally ended up with a fate of ten thousand years.
Why is the Mi Fang family Liu Bei's nobles? This matter began when Liu Bei was invited to Xuzhou by Tao Qian, when Cao Cao's father was killed by Tao Qian's generals at the boundary of Xuzhou, causing Cao Cao to be furious and led an army to attack Tao Qian, Tao Qian was powerless to resist, and at the suggestion of his advisers, he asked Shi Tiankai of Qingzhou for help, and Liu Bei came with Tian Kai to assist in the defense of Xuzhou, and successfully lifted the danger of Xuzhou.
Liu Bei was also left by Tao Qian as a guest of honor, and was represented by Tao Qian as the Assassin of Yuzhou, Tun Bing Xiao Pei. In Xuzhou, there is another person who looks at Liu Bei differently, that is, Mi Fang's brother Mi Zhu. Mi Zhu's identity at that time was Xuzhou Mu Taoqian's other driver, in addition, he also had another identity was Xuzhou rich businessman.
How rich is his family? According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, "Ancestral goods were cultivated, thousands of servants were employed, and hundreds of millions of yuan were produced." In other words, there are tens of thousands of servants in his family, what is this concept? Just like that, the total population of the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty is also 50 million, and his family accounts for one-fifth of the total population of the country, even if it is now, a large enterprise with tens of thousands of people is more cattle, which can be imagined.
As a businessman, he naturally had a unique vision, and Mi Zhu saw at a glance that Liu Bei was a potential stock, and vigorously promoted Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou. Later, Lü Bu secretly attacked and occupied Liu Bei's Xuzhou, and detained Liu Bei's wife and children, mi Zhu married his sister to Liu Bei, that is, the later Lady Mi, and sent two thousand servants and gold and silver currency as a dowry to fund Liu Bei's comeback.
And Mi Fang also resigned from Peng Chengxiang's position and followed Liu Bei to exile, which can also be seen that Mi Fang also has a strategic vision. And Mi Fang is stronger than Mi Zhu, that is, he can lead troops to fight.
Although Mi Zhu was not only good at seeing, but also good at riding and shooting, but leading soldiers to fight was not good at this, so Liu Bei always regarded him as a guest, but did not let him lead the troops, but Mi Fang was different, when Liu Bei fled to Yicheng after Xuzhou was destroyed by Cao Cao, it was Mi Fang who brought him the scattered soldiers, and later after he surrendered to the State of Wu, he was also sent out by Sun Quan to lead the troops to fight, and won.
Speaking of Mi Fang's sister Lady Mi, the one who was captured with Guan Yu, and later followed Guan Yu through five levels and six generals, there is a very vivid description in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", especially in the Nagasaka slope section, in order to protect Ah Dou, not to drag Zhao Yun, she threw herself into the well to commit suicide, which is really a song and a cry.
Mi Fang and his family really had feelings and righteousness for Liu Beike, and their hearts and brains were overwhelmed. Therefore, after Liu Bei took Yizhou to stabilize his foundation, he was naturally very good to Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, and he made Mi Zhu a general of An Han, with a status above Zhuge Liang, which can be said to be above ten thousand people under one person. Later, Liu Bei ascended the throne as the King of Hanzhong and made Mi Fang the Taishou of Nan Commandery, don't look at it as just a Taishou, but NanJun is a strategic place, and Liu Bei entrusted the important task of defending Eastern Wu to his hands.
To say why Liu Bei put Mi Fang in this position, it can also be seen from the previous article, one is that Mi Fang has been following Liu Bei since Liu Bei was down, which can be said to be Liu Bei's left and right arm; second, Mi Fang is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, and the two belong to relatives; third, Mi Fang has the talent to lead soldiers to fight, all of which reveal two words, that is, trust.
Then why would a person who Liu Bei trusted so much surrender to Eastern Wu and leave a legacy of ten thousand years? This has to mention one person, that is, Guan Yu.
Guan Yu this person everyone knows, since Lü Bu was killed, he saw who is the bidder selling the head, that is no one can look up, don't say you are Liu Bei's brother-in-law, you say look at the world, in addition to Liu Bei himself, who has he served? Therefore, when Guan Yu arranged for Mi Fang and Fu Shiren to be responsible for the military mission, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren were both scolded by Guan Yu, and it can be said that they showed no mercy, and said that they would clean up after returning from the battle.
Therefore, when Eastern Wu took the opportunity to sneak into Jingzhou, Mi Fang surrendered without resistance, and to be honest, Guan Yu must have never expected it. This directly led to the defeat and killing of Guan Yu's soldiers, the complete fall of Jingzhou, and the death of Mi Zhu in shame and anger, and Mi Fang could never return to Shu Han.
If mi fang could withstand the pressure at that time and fight with Eastern Wu, then Guan Yu still had the opportunity to withdraw to Jingzhou to repel Eastern Wu, and Mi Fang could also be promoted to the rank of famous generals, famous for thousands of years or unknown, but unfortunately, the difference between one thought and a thousand years of stink.
Mi Fang's life of surrendering to Eastern Wu was not good, although his surrender was a great thing for Eastern Wu, but this kind of behavior was very despised, as can be seen from the story of him and Yu Tuan.
Yu Fang met Mi Fang in the middle of the river on a boat, and the soldiers on Mi Fang's boat shouted for Yu Fang to give way, and the original text of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms wrote, "If you are disloyal and faithful, why should you be a prince?" Pouring people into two cities, and calling them generals, can you?" Yu Tuan scolded Mi Fang for losing his loyalty and sent two cities to people, who had the face to call himself a general? In an instant, Mi Fang was very embarrassed, so she gave way to Yu Tuan.
The second time, Yu Tuan drove past Mi Fang's camp gate, and as a result, the gatekeeper did not let Yu turn over, and Yu Tuan angrily scolded, "What should be closed is not closed, what should be opened is not opened, is this how to do things?" They all say that hitting people does not hit their faces, scolding people does not expose the short, Yu turned over this sentence of curse, which made Mi Fang very uncomfortable. The original text of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" wrote that fang smelled it and was ashamed.
Mi Fang felt ashamed twice, which proved that Mi Fang also felt disgraceful in her heart to surrender, if she could do it again, presumably Mi Fang would not choose to surrender again, and if her eldest husband died, she would die, so what was she afraid of? Mi Fang wants to have IQ, ability and ability, but in the end it is a little less dignified, and finally mixed up in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" without even a decent legend, but also spurned by posterity.
Finally, I would like to send him a song of Yu Qian's chant lime: "A thousand hammers chisel out of the deep mountains, and the fire burns like idleness." Don't be afraid of shattering your bones, and leave your innocence in the human world. ”
