Surrender is very normal in the entire history of China, since ancient times there has been the principle of surrender and not killing, of course, there are accidents, as for what kind of treatment after surrender, it depends on the actual situation at that time, some will be reused, some will be killed, there is no surrender will be scorned.
For example, in the early Three Kingdoms period, Lü Bu surrendered to Cao Cao and was killed, Lü Bu's Zhang Liao surrendered to Cao Cao but was reused, and Zhang Guo's surrender to Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu was also reused, and what is even more bizarre is That Liu Bei, who does not know how many times he surrendered, but no matter which time, Liu Bei was reused.
Prohibited
The early surrender of the Three Kingdoms has a characteristic, the early surrender is very common, because the world is in chaos, countless local forces want to rise, they have to constantly attract talents and other forces to join, so the early surrender of the Three Kingdoms can also be understood as a political power battle, the forces for those who surrender to themselves are extremely kind, even hatred can ignore the previous suspicions.
For example, Zhang Xiu killed Cao Cao's son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin, and ai general Dianwei, and as a result, Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao under the persuasion of Jia Xu, and Cao Cao was overjoyed, not only did not mention the revenge of killing his son, but instead formed a family with Zhang Xiu, the reason for this, because this is a political means, Cao Cao wants to grow, wants to support the power, and wants to fight the Battle of Guandu with peace of mind, so he treats Zhang Xiu kindly.
Cao Cao
In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, the whole world was starting a business, the competition for talents was very fierce, and it was definitely a happy event for someone to surrender, because it was advantageous in politics, but in the late period, when the Three Kingdoms established the basic form of political power in each country, the rulers gave priority to the absolute loyalty of their subordinates, and the situation changed, and the late Three Kingdoms basically no longer tolerated surrender, but there were exceptions.
For example, Liu Bei's Huang Quan was heavily used because of the surrender of Cao Wei after the Battle of Yiling, but Liu Bei did not punish Huang Quan's family in Shu Han because it was his own fault, because of Liu Bei's benevolence.
There was also Wen Qin who rebelled against Sima Shi's monopoly, surrendered to the state of Wu after his defeat, was reused, and later led an army to support Zhuge Shi's rebellion against Sima Shi, Wen Qin was killed because of a conflict with Zhuge Shi, and his two sons Wen Duan and Wen Hu threw themselves back into the State of Wei, still being reused because of political benefits.
Cao Cao's five sons were good generals
Relatively speaking, Yu Ban, who surrendered to Guan Yu in the Battle of Xiangfan, was very desolate.
First of all, after Cao Cao spent the early stage of entrepreneurship, in order to strengthen the control of generals and soldiers, he stipulated a system, if the generals or soldiers surrendered in the war, their families would have to bear joint and several responsibility, this trick also worked, but there are still examples of surrendering to the outside, such as Wang Ping, who betrayed Cao Cao and surrendered to Liu Bei.
Yu Ban was also a General of Cao Wei, and of course it also applies, after Yu Ban surrendered, his family members in Cao Wei were jointly and severally liable.
secondly
Yu Ban's status in Cao Wei was too high, and his surrender was detrimental to Cao Wei's national prestige, and Cao Pi looked down on Yu Ban very much
。
Yu Ban was a left general, a false Jieyu, and he led the elite central army of Cao Wei, or surrendered because of defeat, and the defeat of Yu Ban, the surrender of thirty thousand elite central army, which had not been such a big loss in the history of Cao Wei's entrepreneurship.
For example, Yu Ban's surrender is equivalent to the surrender of a country's theater commander and Minister Chincha with 30,000 elite central troops surrendering to another country, and it is a surrender of the establishment, where do you let Cao Cao and Cao Pi put their faces? What a blow to your own morale? Can Cao Pi not hate?
Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and was captured
At last
The negative impact of Yu Ban's surrender was too great.
If Cao Pi does not severely crack down on this behavior, then the same thing will happen again next time, it can be said that Cao Pi's contempt for the forbidden way has been very soft, in exchange for Cao Cao, it is also possible to kill Yu Ban, this is not difficult to understand.
Why was Yu Forbidden to surrender Guan Yu despised by Cao Pi, and was the surrender during the Three Kingdoms period not very normal?
Surrender is forbidden
In summary, Cao Pi's contempt for Yu Ban is considered light, Yu Ban's defeat and surrender can be directly killed, and Cao Pi only uses gentle means to deal with Yu Ban.
