In the rendition, Xu Huang may be the most famous general who died the most.
Meng Da rebelled, and Xu Huang took the front and led an army to attack.
Seeing Xu Huang coming, Meng Da was horrified and urgently ordered the suspension bridge to be raised.
At this time, I don't know whether the speed is too fast, or the brakes are broken, and Xu Huang's horse can't stop and rush straight to the edge of the trench.
After all, the famous general is a famous general, the brakes are broken, the momentum cannot be broken, Xu Huang shouted: Anti-thief Meng Da, early surrender!
Meng Da opened the hanging, sharply led the bow to shoot it, and hit Xu Huang's head in the middle. (Direct headshots!) ）
That night, Xu Huang died in the camp.
Xu Huang, who had been fighting all his life, couldn't stop his horse and rushed straight to the edge of the trench; Meng Da, who had never shown archery in his life, actually exploded Xu Huang's head with an arrow! Xu Huang died so vaguely.
Lao Luo's book Lao Luo is the master, he wants you to die how you want, logic is not logical is not important.
So, in the main history, how did Xu Huang die, and what kind of character was Meng Da?
Death of Xu Huang
A year before Xu Huang's death, he did something far-reaching.
After Cao Pi's death, Sun Quan took the opportunity to go north, divided his troops into three routes, and besieged Shiyang himself, Zhuge Jin attacked Xiangyang, and the other general attacked Xunyang.
Xu Huang was ordered to accompany Sima Yi into Xiangyang and fight zhuge jin.
Zhuge Jin was certainly not an opponent of Sima Yi and Xu Huang, and under the First World War, thousands of soldiers were lost, and the general Zhang Ba was beheaded.
The impact of this battle is far-reaching.
After the defeat was too bad, Sun Quan did not dare to launch a main attack in Jingzhou after that, and turned to the direction of Huainan.
After that, Wu Shu repeatedly went on the Northern Expedition, and the Wei army and the Shu army fought in Longxi and Guanzhong on the western front, and the Wu army in Huainan on the eastern front, except for the direction of Jingzhou on the central line, which was basically not threatened.
However, this is also the last battle of the old general.
The following year, in 227, Xu Huang fell ill and died.
When Xu Huang died, Meng Dadu had not yet rebelled, and Xu Huang even if he wanted to perform "brake failure and headshot" did not have a chance.
So, does Meng Da have the ability to "headshot"?
Meng Da's talent
Meng Da is a second-generation official. His father Meng He made a history of Liangzhou Assassination.
After the chaos began, Meng reached Yizhou and defected to Liu Zhang's father and son.
Later, Meng Da and Fa Zheng were ordered to welcome Liu Bei into Sichuan and simply defected to Liu Bei.
After pacifying Xichuan, Liu Bei made Meng Da the Taishou of Yidu.
Yidu, located at the junction of Yizhou and Jingzhou, is in a critical position, and the former Yidu Taishou is Zhang Fei, with Meng Da, who has just arrived, as the Yidu Taishou, which shows Liu Bei's appreciation of Meng Da and also shows Meng Da's talent.
After the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei ordered Meng Da to attack the Eastern Three Counties from Zigui. Without saying a word, Meng Da captured the key position of Fangling Port.
Subsequently, Meng Da cooperated with Liu Feng and captured the three eastern counties together.
Later, Guan Yu attacked Xiangfan, Liu Feng and Meng Da were not ordered to help, and at the same time, Liu Feng and Meng Da were not compatible.
Meng Da felt that there was no place to stand, so he wrote a good letter to Liu Bei, and led more than 4,000 families to vote for Cao Wei.
The part is a private armed force, and Meng Da can lead more than 4,000 subordinates to Wei, which shows the scale of his private armed forces.
Subsequently, Meng Da seduced Liu Fengcheng and, together with Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang, defeated Liu Feng and captured the three eastern counties.
After defecting to Cao Pi, Cao Pi sent his nobles to investigate Meng Da, and when the nobles returned, they all said that Meng Da had "the talent of the general" and "the instrument of the Qing Phase", and the "commentators" at that time also said that Meng Da had the "amount of le yi".
"The talent of the general phase", "the instrument of the Qing phase", and the "amount of Le Yi", from this point of view, Meng Da does have a considerable amount of literary and martial talent.
Whether there is a head-to-head skill is unknown, but Meng Da's martial arts will be slightly lower is certain.
In short, Meng Da was a man of literary and martial talents, with a fairly strong personal armed force.
What happens to such a person?
Operate vigorously
Cao Pi admired Meng Da very much, and merged the three counties of Shangyong, Fangling, and Xicheng into a new city, with Meng Da as the Taishou, which was considered to be entrusted with the task of southwest and acting alone.
When Meng Da was in office, he boarded the White Horse Plug and exclaimed: Thousands of miles in the Golden City, Liu Fengshen was lost!
Indeed, the new city is covered with mountains and water, and the terrain is majestic, and Meng Da feels that it is impossible to lose it! I couldn't figure out how Liu Feng had lost the new city.
Since this is the case, Meng Da naturally wants to vigorously operate here (private power)!
As mentioned earlier, when Meng Da surrendered to Wei, he brought 4,000 parts, and later, his parts developed to more than 7,000.
In addition, the eastern three counties were originally barren lands, but under the management of Meng Da, Shangyong "ate for one year".
From this point of view, Meng Da does engage in construction has a set!
At the same time, located at the junction of the three countries, Meng Da also engaged in "diplomacy" (private back roads).
Meng Da, Zhuge Liang, and Li Yan all often exchanged letters, and they were critical of the Wei Shu people.
Although Meng Da's contacts with Eastern Wu did not leave any documents, when Meng Da rebelled later, the State of Wu also sent troops, so Meng Da should also have a "connection" with the generals and officials of the State of Wu.
After the operation, Meng Da's "domestic and foreign affairs" have done a good job, and his wings are gradually enriched, and he thinks that he can make a difference.
Soon, Cao Pi, who admired Meng Da, died, and Xiahou Shang and Huan Jie, who had a good personal relationship with Meng Da, also died, and Meng Da was uneasy in his heart, just when Zhuge Liang and others "seduced", and Meng Da rebelled against Wei.
"Lian Wu Gu Shu, Subliminal Map China". (Book of Jin. Emperor Xuan's Chronicles)
Zhuge Liang's "pit"
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Zhuge Liang really "pit" Meng Da.
After Meng Da expressed his intention to betray Wei, Zhuge Liang, worried about his capriciousness, decided to "push it" and deliberately leaked the information to Shen Yi, who was at odds with Meng Da. (Book of Jin. Emperor Xuan's Chronicles)
Shen Yi immediately reported it!
Sure enough, "Da Wen leaked his plot and will raise troops", which can be regarded as being pushed back by Zhuge Liang.
However, Zhuge Liang's "push" is more risky than rewarding.
Weixing, where Shen Yi is located, is located between Xincheng and Hanzhong!
Therefore, later, when Meng Da rebelled, "Yi zhi Shu Dao, so that salvation could not be reached", blocking Zhuge Liang's main passage to support Meng Da.
Zhuge Liang knew both weixing's terrain and his taishou were at odds with Meng Da, but he deliberately leaked information to Shen Yi so that he could make preparations earlier?
With Zhuge Liang's strategy, there is never only one way to "push" Meng Da, and it is necessary to deliberately "leak his plot", and there is never an "intermediary" for Shen Yi, so why choose to leak information to Shen Yi?
No matter what kind of considerations, Zhuge Liang really "pit" Meng Da.
Meng Da only chose to rebel, and... Shu Han's possible rescue force was isolated to the west of Wei Xing, and Meng Da was isolated!
Sima Yizhi's "Fast"
However, Meng Da still had the confidence to resist Wei Jun.
At first, Meng Da ridiculed Liu Feng for "losing the Golden City for thousands of miles", and naturally believed in himself, relying on the terrain to block the Wei army.
Moreover, even if Wei Xingjun blocked the main passage of the Shu army, the Wu Shu army could still find a way to the Western City of Anqiao and Mu Lan To support.
And Meng Da, who was familiar with the system and geography of the Wei state, also believed that the Wei army did not come so quickly, and he had enough time to defend!
The governor of the State of Wei did not have the right to send troops.
Therefore, if Sima Yi wanted to attack Meng Da, he had to report to Tianzi and wait for Tianzi's approval before he could march.
Meng Da made an "accurate calculation" in his letter with Zhuge Liang: It is 700 miles away from Luoyang and 1200 miles away from me. Sima Yi "went through the process" and came again, at least a month!
In a month, Meng Da had already made all the defenses! "Golden City Thousand Miles" and "Deep Danger" are enough to resist you!
However, Meng Da underestimated Sima Yi.
Sima Yi seemed to see through Meng Da's thoughts, "pretended to be stupid", and wrote to Meng Da: You have betrayed the Shu kingdom, and the people of the Shu kingdom hate you to death! Zhuge Liang deliberately leaked information, nothing more than to make us kill each other!
It seems that Sima Yi is still not ready for war and is still "fighting" for Meng Da.
Meng Da was overjoyed, "still and indecisive", and was paralyzed.
Where did he know that Sima Yi did not intend to "win" him at all, nor did he intend to "go through the process", but chose the elite and began a rapid march!
As a result, in just eight days, Sima Yijun completed 1200 miles and reached the new city!
At that time, the normal marching speed was "fifty miles (daily) for soldiers and thirty miles for heavy travel" (Book of Han. Chen Tang Biography"!
And the marching speed of Sima Yi's army was 150 miles a day!
In the entire history of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, Sima Yi's marching speed was second only to the "five hundred in three days, one thousand in six days" (about 160 miles per day) created by Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Guo during the Battle of Longxi! Moreover, unlike Longxi, Sima Yi's terrain on this road was more complicated, and he had to cross some rivers!
Sima Yi's rapid arrival completely disrupted Meng Da's rhythm.
"Golden City Thousand Miles" is not to be thought about, and the defense is not well organized at all!
Meng Da could only retreat into Shangyong and stick to the isolated city.
Meng Da's "Death"
Friends who have seen the rendition have a feeling that Sima Yi uses soldiers to hold heavy and likes to camp slowly.
Of course, in the history of Zhengzheng, when dealing with Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi almost did the same.
However, this time Sima Yi was a real person who didn't talk much, and when he came up, he gave a dead hand.
First, Sima Yi sent troops to seize the favorable terrain and block the Wu Shu reinforcements who were rushing to The Western City of Anqiao and Mu Lan.
As a result, the only loopholes were filled, and Shangyong became a completely isolated city.
At the same time, Sima Yi's army crossed the water and broke through the barrier, directly "eight ways to attack", and attacked strongly!
Originally, Shangyong City was also strong and dangerous, and the army guarding Shangyong was mostly Mengda's subordinates, the generals were mostly Mengda's relatives, and the grain in the city could be supported for a year, which was a difficult city to fight.
However, the situation is obvious: Shangyong is already an isolated city, and it is sooner or later to lose it!
Even Meng Da's subordinates and relatives did not want to accompany Meng Da to death!
After holding out for sixteen days, Meng Da's nephew Deng Xian and his general Li Fu Kaesong surrendered.
City broken! Meng Da was beheaded!
Meng Da did not "headshot" Xu Huang.
However, Meng Da's literary and martial talents are all good, not straw bags.
However, although the new city is a "golden city of thousands of miles", it was still not enough to stand on its own during the Three Kingdoms period! Although Shangyong is located between the three countries, it looks like "left and right are at the source", but the traffic is inconvenient, and it is easy to be blocked! Although Meng Da has talent, there is still a gap with top talents such as Sima Yi! Although Meng Da had a lot of contacts with Zhuge Liang and others, his capricious history made people dare not believe it!
Meng Da was conceited and misjudged the situation, and the result... Playing with fire and self-immolation.
