Speaking of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is really no one knows, no one knows, even if you have not read this book, for the heroes in it, everyone has some understanding, like Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, etc. are familiar characters, of which Liu Guanzhang's friendship of "Taoyuan Three Knots" is praised by the world.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were like Liu Bei's right and left arms, helping him complete his great cause of founding the country and paying a lot of painstaking efforts, while other famous courtiers such as Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and Zhuge Liang also followed Liu Bei's steps and jointly formed the Shu Han clique, and after Guan Yu's defeat, he could also choose to fight with the enemy and unite with the outside world.
However, after Zhang Fei's death, the situation was different, when Liu Bei wanted to go on a crusade, all his good generals did not agree to him doing so, so what was Zhang Fei's position in the Shu Han clique? Why did everyone give a disagreement on this expedition? What were Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang, and others worried about? Next, follow the small editor to interpret it together!
First, the friendship between Zhang Fei and Liu Bei
Zhang Fei, the character "Yide", is a native of Zhuozhou City, Baoding, Hebei Province, and also a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, he and Guan Yu are Liu Bei's brothers, but also his elder-level warriors, the three brothers have a very deep affection, Guan Yu after launching the "Battle of Xiangfan", he was jealous of the Cao and Sun families, and was eventually killed by Eastern Wu.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had a deep affection, and when they heard that their second brother had died, they were naturally extremely sad, and from then on, they began to drink and scold Sun Quan all day.
These actions all showed that he was eager to avenge Guan Yu, but he waited for the right and left, and did not wait for the military order, which also meant that Liu Bei did not want Zhang Fei to go out on a crusade at that time, and in desperation, Zhang Fei had to go to Liu Bei himself to ask for clarification.
So, what was Liu Bei thinking in his heart? Did he really not want to avenge Guan Yu? The answer was naturally no, the reason why he did not send troops was entirely because Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang did not agree to the Eastern Crusade, these two people were very strategic, and they had made great contributions to Shu Han, and Liu Bei naturally could not fail to consider their opinions.
But who is Zhang Fei? The black-faced Zhang Fei called Chirp, the famous temper is big and reckless, very heavy righteous existence, the original mood is not beautiful, and then heard Liu Bei mention Zhuge Liang, it is even more angry not to fight, Liu Bei listens to Zhuge Liang in everything, so Zhang Fei is very angry, after all, his eldest brother is the lord, how can not show some majesty!
And Liu Bei after this "accountability", can not help but feel shaken, although Zhuge Liang is his three Gu Maolu invited military division, but he is indeed a little too "supportive" him, obviously Liu Bei is the lord, but has been restricted by Mr. Zhuge , which also made him can't help but start to think about his own status, plus he also wanted to avenge his second brother Guan Yu, so he vowed to march to the East.
From here, it is not difficult to see that Liu Bei is still very close to Zhang Fei, and in his heart he also knows his second and third brothers, at least his feelings are deeper than Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, especially in the end, despite anyone's persuasion to choose the Eastern Crusade, it is even more convincing that "there is truth in the world", but this is only for Zhang Fei himself.
2. Zhang Fei's death
When Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, and others heard that Liu Bei had this in mind, they all rushed to his palace and advised him to think twice, but Liu Bei had just made a promise to Zhang Fei and asked him to lead his troops out on the expedition.
So he resolutely rejected the suggestions of these two men, and this operation naturally made Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun cold.
However, the cold heart returned to the cold heart, as a courtier, it was not good to do anything beyond the limit, and could only endure silently, but said that after Zhang Fei took the order, he gathered enough energy to train soldiers and horses every day, and he was eager to go out immediately to cut down Sun Quan's "dog thief"!
Zhang Fei was "bound to win" the crusade against Eastern Wu, and he was blinded by hatred and was also harsh on his soldiers.
Every day, as long as you are a little unhappy, you have to punch and kick the soldiers, and even ask your adjutants to create 100,000 pairs of white armor and white flags in three days, which is a workload that may not be able to complete the big project of the indicator in the modern factory.
And Zhang Fei's subordinates Fan Qiang and Zhang Da know his stinky temper, if they can't complete the task, it must be a dead end!
Such an act undoubtedly accelerated the road to his own death, and sure enough, soon after, Fan Qiang and Zhang Da entered Zhang Fei's tent at night under the pretext of reporting work and stabbed Zhang Fei to death while he was asleep.
At this time, Liu Bei had gathered 40,000 soldiers and horses and was ready to leave for Eastern Wu, but unfortunately he waited for the news of Zhang Fei's death.
3. Disobey Liu Bei's orders
As mentioned above, Liu Bei actually listened to the suggestions of Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others at the beginning, and did not go out to conquer Eastern Wu, and under the stimulation of Zhang Fei, he decided to do so, and now that Zhang Fei has died, Liu Bei still chose the previous approach, and after he handled Zhang Fei's post-incident, he opened the army with a rapid and unstoppable momentum.
Such an operation for Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan undoubtedly made them feel extremely powerless, at that time, the strength of Shu Han was no longer the same as before, and there were great changes, which was why the three did not agree to the Eastern Crusade, but Liu Bei was determined to do so, even if there was no good general, he insisted on attacking.
Challenging such a powerful opponent as Sun Quan, but choosing to use Ma Liang as a staff officer, while Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun chose to stay in Chengdu to defend, couldn't the two of them evenly send one person to the battlefield?
The answer was yes, but they did not do so, and Zhuge Liang still chose to defend Chengdu, because he mentioned in the strategy of "Longzhong Confrontation" that it was impossible to defeat Sun Quan in World War I.
Against Sun Quan, the battle line will definitely be very long, this crusade is not prepared at all, it is not the best time, hastily acting against the Shu Han chaos, the final outcome also confirms this, and Cao Cao is the best at sneak attacks, if Zhuge Liang followed as a staff officer, how to deal with these troubles in the future? In this way, Zhuge Liang chose not to go.
And Wei Yan, as a general who was hand-picked by Liu Bei, was also afraid of being called in, his position was not guaranteed, and he would encounter accidents. Liu Bei also laid down a lot of Eastern Wu cities at the beginning, and finally lost in Yiling, very embarrassed, under the response of Zhao Yun, he was fortunate to retrieve a small life, which shows the correctness of the Eastern Crusade, but unfortunately the incident has happened, there is nothing to regret.
4. Summary
From this point of view, after Zhang Fei was killed, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and Zhuge Liang collectively disobeyed Liu Bei's orders and had an answer, saying that the soldiers should have a cause, although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei died because of Eastern Wu, but the destruction of the covenant with them did bring harm.
