Among the three kingdoms, Wei Shuliang has the most generals, Wei has five sons and generals, and the Shu kingdom has five tiger generals, and for these generals who are loyal to their lords, surrender may be the most unacceptable, even if it is heroic and righteous, martyrdom and death can leave a good reputation after death. However, different people surrender but have different treatment, and even the end is different.
In Boss Cao's clique, in fact, many of them were surrendered generals, and later they also made outstanding military achievements for the Cao clique, such as Zhang Gao, Zhang Liao, Huang Quan, and even Guan Yu's surrender, which became a loyal act, but the Cao Shi clique could not tolerate the surrender of its own people, especially Yu Ban.
Five years after Guan Yu surrendered at Jian'an, Liu Bei beheaded Che And occupied Xuzhou, attracting Cao Cao's personal conquest. Liu Bei was defeated and abandoned the city to the north to surrender to Yuan Shao, and Guan Yu was isolated and helpless, so he surrendered. This is actually similar to the forbidden situation, which is difficult to escape without a door to insert wings. Although it is said that Yu Surrendered Han and did not surrender Cao, there is no real basis. Later, guan Yu stabbed Yan Liang to death in the Battle of Guandu to repay Cao Cao's favor of not killing, and then sealed the seal of gold and defected to Liu Bei, which was rumored to be a righteous act.
Yu Ban surrendered at the time when Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, and after Guan Yu was wounded, he again raised troops to attack Xiangfan again, and due to the maneuvering of Lü Meng, Lu Xun and others, Guan Yu let down his guard against Wu and poured out the Jingzhou garrison, there were many people, and Cao Ren's thousands of troops could not be defeated, so he had to hold the city. Cao Cao, fearing that Xiangfan was lost, sent Yu Ban to lead the Seventh Army to aid Cao Ren. Coinciding with the surge of han water in the autumn, Guan Yu took advantage of the flooding of Cao Cao's reinforcements to kill Pound and force him to surrender to the forbidden. Suddenly, Guan Yu's power shook Huaxia.
After surrendering, Yu Ban was imprisoned by Guan Yu in Jiangling. Hou Sun Quan, fearing that Guan Yu's side would sit on the throne, sent Lü Meng and Lu Xunyin to seize Jingzhou, and Yu Ban was rescued and went to Jiangdong. After Cao Pi declared himself emperor, Sun Quan sent Yu Ban back to wei for the sake of Lian and Cao Wei. Cao Pi pretended to lend the name of the envoy Sun Quan, and ordered to go to the tomb of Emperor Gao to worship Cao Cao before the ban, but he did not expect to arrive at the forbidden, but saw that the walls of the tomb were painted with Guan Yu Zhan Ke, Pound De's anger, and forbidden surrender, and finally died of anger.
Later people also believed that Yu Ban was extremely ashamed of his own survival, his loyalty to the Cao family could be seen from his final sad death, Guan Yu's surrender was loyal because he had an agreement with Cao Cao, but Yu Ban did not, he was just a simple general of the defeated army, coupled with the heroic righteousness of his peer Pound, then he was a coward who stole his life.
This can't help but remind me of the sentence: The end will be forbidden, and I am willing to go to the soup for the Cao family for generations.
