Friends who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms must have been very sorry for Wei Yan, Who claimed to be the first person under the Five Tigers, with very strong military ability, and he was a figure that Liu Bei had pulled up, loyal to the Liu family, and this kind of capable and loyal general was a great help left by Liu Bei to Liu Chan to stabilize the world, and as a result, Wei Yan was wrongfully killed, which was heart-wrenching. Every time Wei Yan is mentioned, netizens are a sigh, but in fact, in addition to Wei Yan, in fact, Shu Han also has a famous general who died more unjustly, and this person is more wronged than Wei Yan!
This famous Shu Han general who died worse than Wei Yan was called Meng Da! In the minds of many people, Meng Da is a capricious villain, and it is precisely because he advised Liu Feng not to rescue Guan Yu, which led to Guan Yu's death, so everyone was very disgusted with Meng Da. However, in fact, this is all a fictional plot of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Meng Da in the main history is not a capricious villain, on the contrary, he understands the great righteousness, takes the initiative to defect to Liu Bei, and has quite a military talent! It was only because he mistakenly killed Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law that he had a series of subsequent tragic encounters!
Meng Da and Fa are good friends, how strong Fa Zheng's ability is, don't need to repeat it, can be rated as Liu Bei's mastermind, it can be seen how powerful Fa Zheng is! The so-called people are divided into groups, things are clustered by categories, Meng Da can play with Fa Zheng, and the relationship is very good, which is enough to show meng Da's ability as a person!
In the early years of Jian'an, there was famine in the world, so Meng Da and Fa Zheng entered the Shu land together to surrender to Liu Zhang. However, Liu Zhang didn't know how to use people, so although Meng Da and Fa Zheng were capable, they had no place to play, so they prepared to find another Master. It was at this time that Liu Zhang wanted to contact Liu Bei and invite Liu Bei into Shu to help him resist Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, so Fa Zheng and Meng Da were sent to meet Liu Bei. Fa Zheng and Meng Da had long been dissatisfied with Liu Zhang, and now they had met Liu Bei, such a male lord, so they immediately expressed their desire to turn to Liu Bei, hoping to be reused by Liu Bei. In the end, Fa Zheng was left with Liu Bei, and Meng Da was arranged by Liu Bei to go to Jiangling.
As for why Liu Bei left Fazheng, but sent Meng Da to Jingzhou, the history books do not explicitly state, this article believes that Liu Bei was afraid of Liu Zhang's misunderstanding, so he deliberately arranged for Meng Da to go to Jingzhou, and by the way let Meng Da help to resist Cao Jun.
Fa Zheng followed Liu Bei's side and performed very well, after pacifying Yizhou, his status was already on an equal footing with Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, while Meng Da at that time did not make much merit because he did not participate in the Battle of Pingding Yizhou. However, Meng Da and Fazheng had a good relationship and took the lead in defecting to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei could not chill Meng Da's heart, so Liu Bei promoted Meng Da to Yidu Taishou, and in the later stages of the Battle of Hanzhong, let Meng Da be responsible for attacking the three counties of Shangyong, to put it bluntly, this is to give Meng Da credit!
Meng Da and Fa are good friends, their ability is definitely good, and the merit of winning the three counties of Shangyong is definitely great. However, it was in this war that Meng Da made a serious mistake, that is, he connived at the killing of Fang Ling Taishou Puqi, and this Pu Qi had another layer of identity, that is, Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law!
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Twenty-four years after Jian'an, FengDa returned from Zi to the north to attack Fangling, and Fangling was too defensive and was killed by Dabing.
Many people in Liu Bei's group were of the Jingzhou faction, and the Ku family was a member of the Jingzhou clan and Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law, so Meng Da's move offended the entire Jingzhou faction, and he should be killed according to reason. However, Meng Da had a Fazheng relationship, so Liu Bei could not directly kill Meng Da, but did not give Meng Da credit. So we can see the dramatic picture, this battle Meng Da won a big victory, but he was demoted, even the original Yidu Taishou position is gone. Meng Da was depressed, so he did not support Guan Yu.
Later, Guan Yu was killed in battle, and Meng Da knew that he was going to become a pot bearer again, and even Fa Zheng could not protect him, so he directly turned to Cao Wei. Zhuge Liang saw that Meng Da dared to surrender to the enemy and immediately suggested that Liu Bei kill Meng Da's family. However, Liu Bei looked at Fazheng's face and did not move Meng Da's family. Later, Fa Zheng and Liu Bei died one after another, and Zhuge Liang took power in shu Han and prepared for the Northern Expedition. Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition wanted to give wei a voice to attack the west, so he thought of Meng Da, and began to seduce Meng Da, telling Meng Da that he Zhuge Liang did not care about the previous suspicions, and let Meng Da come back and continue to serve Shu Han.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Zhuge Liang heard about it, yin desire to seduce it, count the books to trick it, and reach and reciprocate.
At that time, Meng Da's situation in the State of Wei was not very good, so he believed Zhuge Liang and chose to betray the State of Wei and return to Shu Han. As a result, this matter was revealed, so Sima Yi quickly came and unexpectedly appeared in front of Meng Da, successfully defeating and killing Meng Da. Regarding Meng Da's death, most people are focused on Sima Yi's foresight, but they don't know that behind this matter is actually full of Zhuge Liang's figure, Meng Da is a smart person, Zhuge Liang is a smart person, how can the plans of these two wise people be known by Sima Yi in advance? Obviously, there is a problem here, and this problem is likely that Zhuge Liang deliberately sold Meng Da, on the one hand, he repaid Meng Da for killing Qu Qi and not saving Guan Yu' revenge, on the other hand, it caused Cao Wei to riot, and Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to attack Long Right!
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Liang also has the heart of no money, so he does not rescue it.
epilogue
In general, Meng Da was still a very talented person, but he died a very unjust death! Just because when attacking the three counties of Shangyong, Meng Da's men killed Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law, and since then Meng Da has begun to be unlucky, and was eventually killed by Sima Yi, behind all this, in fact, there is Zhuge Liang's figure, to put it mildly, Meng Da was killed by Zhuge Liang!
