On the battlefield of Xiangfan in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Guan Yu played the most brilliant battle record of his life - "flooding the Seventh Army, Wei Zhen Huaxia", Yu Ban was captured, Pound was beheaded, and Guan Yu's power was indistinguishable for a while.
Even Cao Cao was forced by Guan Yu's soldiers to move the capital, and at the same time, Liu Bei had already occupied all of Hanzhong and sent Liu Feng and Meng Da to occupy Shangyong.
Just when the situation was in full swing, a sudden change occurred, Eastern Wu backstabbed allies, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren rebelled, and Lü Meng crossed the river in white clothes, giving Guan Yu a blow behind his back, causing him to defeat Maicheng and eventually be killed by Eastern Wu.
Presumably, everyone is also very familiar with this history, but what we want to say today is that in fact, Guan Yu has always had a turnaround after the defeat of the army, and this opportunity to turn defeat into victory was ruined by a kind "own person", that is to say, in the matter of Guan Yu's murder, the biggest "hero" was actually in Liu Bei's camp.
After Guan Yu captured Yu Ban, he prepared to take Xiangyang and Fancheng, at which point he sent military letters to Liu Feng and Meng Da, who were stationed in Shangyong, and wanted them to send troops to help.
But who knows that within a few days, the situation was reversed, under the betrayal of Eastern Wu's backstabbing and Mi Fang and others, Guan Yu's rear was on fire, and Nan County was lost.
Nan County is the family of Guan Yu's army, occupying The South County Lü Meng treated the general's family kindly, with the "attack of the heart" so that Guan Yu's army has no heart to fight, Guan Yu knows that the later it is delayed, the more unfavorable the situation, so he quickly returned to help, and once again sent a military letter to Liu Feng, but this time it was a letter of "asking for help".
Liu Feng and Meng Da, who were in Shangyong, saw that the difference between before and after was only a few days, but the content was very different, and they fell into contemplation for a while, especially Liu Feng, what he thought was even more profound.
Liu Feng's original surname was Kou Feng, and his uncle was a person surnamed Liu in Changsha, and Liu Bei met Liu Feng's uncle when he turned to Liu Biao, and also saw Liu Feng in his uncle's house.
At this time, Liu Feng looked handsome, temperamental, and tall, with strong and powerful arms, which was very much appreciated by Liu Bei, and Liu Feng's uncle saw that the opportunity could not be lost, and quickly took the opportunity to say peace, so that Liu Bei accepted Liu Feng as a righteous son.
Liu Feng's surname was also changed from Kou to Liu, from Kou Feng to Liu Feng, so that Liu Feng was still Liu Bei's "eldest son".
When Liu Bei entered Shu to help Liu Zhang, Liu Feng had completely grown up, and his strength was far beyond ordinary people, and he was also quite familiar with the art of war, so Liu Bei ordered Liu Feng to enter Shu with him.
When attacking Yizhou, Liu Feng performed well, and all the way through the pass, he beheaded the generals and attacked everything, which made Liu Bei overjoyed, but he really did not expect that his adopted son was also a dragon and phoenix among people, and after the war, he was named a deputy general in the army.
During the battle with Cao Cao for Hanzhong, Liu Bei also made Liu Feng lead the vanguard and challenged Cao Cao, and the angry Cao Cao broke his mouth and scolded:
"Straw shoes, you only have a fake son to annoy your father, wait for me to let my real son Cao Zhang come and destroy you." ("Sell the house, and make the fake boy refuse to be fair!") Wait for me to come to the yellow whiskers, and order them to strike. --Three Kingdoms Fish Feng, Wei Luo)
However, in the end, Cao Cao was unable to take Hanzhong, and could only retreat helplessly, after the war, Liu Bei sent Meng Da to attack Shangyong, and worried that he was not capable, he asked Liu Feng to go and command Meng Da's army, and after taking Shangyong, the two of them garrisoned here to defend.
At this time, Meng Da and Liu Feng, who should have been defending, received a letter from Guan Yu asking for help, so should they send troops to help?
From a logical point of view, Yu Gong and Guan Yu commanded the Jingzhou army and conquered Xiangfan, which was in the Kuangfu Han Room, opening up territory for Liu Bei to expand the territory, and Jingzhou had difficulties, which was the loss of Liu Bei's clique; Yu Private, Guan Yu and Liu Bei are brothers in jieyi and are Liu Feng's second uncle.
This is public or private, Liu Feng seems to be able to send troops to help, and Shangyong is only five or six hundred miles away from Xiangfan, Liu Feng will not rush over for more than ten days at most, it can be said that it is the closest and most suitable rescue force to Guan Yu.
However, what is puzzling is that Liu Feng and Meng Da rejected Guan Yu's request for help, and the reason given by the two was that Shangyong had just been conquered, and people's hearts were floating, and they did not dare to leave.
Guan Yu, who had no reinforcements, could only besiege Maicheng alone, and finally fled in the night, was captured by Eastern Wu, and was killed with his son Guan Ping in Linfeng.
After Guan Yu's death, Liu Feng and Meng Da were also reprimanded by Liu Bei, after all, Liu Feng did not rescue Guan Yu, how to see how to say it, if these two people really sent troops to help, it may really have a glimmer of opportunity, but due to the hesitation of Liu Feng and the two, Resulting in Guan Yu's death and the loss of Jingzhou,
Even Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" of "the general general Jingzhou's army to Xiang Wan and Luo, and the general's body led the people of Yizhou out of Qin Chuan" could no longer be realized.
As for the real reason why Liu Feng and his men did not send troops, it is difficult for us to understand, because soon after, these two people also turned against each other.
It turned out that after Liu Feng was severely reprimanded by Liu Beilai, he was actually becoming more and more arrogant, without the slightest sense of guilt and reflection, as if Guan Yu's death had nothing to do with him, and he was already "scrupulously fulfilling his duties" by holding Shangyong.
For Meng Da, Liu Feng was also more and more rude, once he saw a group of people holding a drum and piano into the city, he went forward to inquire, and learned that this was Meng Da's "private band".
When Liu Feng heard this, he actually sent troops to escort these people into his own camp and directly cut off Hu.
At this moment, Meng Da was suddenly furious, he did not expect that he was so bullied by Liu Feng, and he thought of Liu Bei's distrust of himself and his resentment towards Guan Yu's death, and his heart was even more depressed.
The more he took a step back, the more angry Meng Da slapped the table and jumped out of his job!
So Meng Da gave Liu Bei a letter, describing Liu Feng's bullying and his grievances, and finally said that we would end here.
After this resignation letter was sent, Meng Da and his soldiers surrendered to the Cao Wei camp.
Liu Feng, who learned that Meng Da had defected to the enemy, was shocked and was thinking about how to remedy it, but he did not expect that Meng Da had already come to him again.
After Meng Da surrendered, the Cao Wei emperor Cao Pi was very happy at this time, and in order to prove Meng Da's loyalty, he asked Xiahou Shang to take Xu Huang and Meng Da to attack Liu Feng.
Meng Da first wrote a letter of persuasion to Liu Feng, Liu Feng saw the situation and tore the letter, and the soldiers and horses were about to meet Xiahou Shang and others, who knew that his subordinates Shen Tan and Shen Yi brothers were actually against the water, and all of a sudden Liu Feng was defeated by Meng Da, and had to throw away his armor and flee back to Chengdu.
Just when Liu Feng thought that he had fled back to Chengdu and was finally safe, he did not expect that his real killing disaster had just arrived.
Liu Bei saw the embarrassed Liu Feng, and he was immediately angry, it was this "false son" of his own, who first refused to send troops, killed his second brother Guan Yu, and then arrogantly and wildly bullied Meng Da, and even forced Meng Da into the Cao camp.
After reprimanding Liu Feng fiercely, Liu Bei was still worried and uneasy in his heart, so he went to ask Zhuge Liang what he should plan for this matter, and Zhuge Liang pondered slightly, shook his head at Liu Bei, and said:
"Sealed fiercely, it will be difficult to control after the Yi Dynasty." Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Shu
In a word, Liu Bei was suddenly awakened.
Indeed, Liu Feng had a strong personality, a fiery temper, and was self-absorbed and ambitious, but he was ambitious and talented, and after he had just reprimanded him, his eyes were clearly resentful.
Suddenly, Liu Bei couldn't help but think about it, after a hundred years, who could guarantee that such a person would not commit trouble?
From a legal point of view, Liu Feng is his "eldest son", but unfortunately, if it is his own son, then this matter may have some turnaround, he passed the throne to him, then he will definitely do his best for Shu Han,
But he is not, Liu Feng is just a "false son" of his own, his throne is destined not to pass to him, if after his death, his own son Liu Chan can not lower Liu Feng.
Coupled with the fact that Liu Feng already had the intention of supporting the army and respecting himself, if he did not rescue Guan Yu, it was very likely that he wanted to retain his own strength, and such a person, in case of trouble in the future, would certainly not be a good thing for Shu Han.
Thinking about it, Liu Bei took a look at Zhuge Liang, and he already had a decision in his heart.
Soon, Liu Bei's emissaries sent Liu Feng a sharp sword, and seeing this sword, Liu Feng's cover was like dead ash, and his dear "father" could not tolerate himself anymore.
But "the king wants his subjects to die, and his subjects have to die; The father wants the son to die, and the son has to die", Liu Feng happens to be the one who occupies both of these things, and more importantly, he now wants to have no soldiers, and if he wants to have no generals, he can't resist if he wants to resist.
In the end, the desperate Liu Feng could only pick up the sword, put it on his neck, slowly closed his eyes, and for a moment he had mixed feelings and shouted: "Hate not to use Mencius's words!" ”
Say goodbye to the hand and hate on the spot.
Liu Feng, who was dying, regretted the most was not that he did not rescue Guan Yu, that he did not indulge himself to force away Meng Da, nor that he defeated Meng Da's hands, but that he regretted not listening to Meng Da and surrendering to Cao Wei, which can only be said that Liu Feng's death was really not unjust, so mentally, liu Bei's death was really difficult to ensure that he would not take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.
Liu Bei saw that Liu Feng was already dead, and the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated for the most part, but instead remembered Liu Feng's previous goodness, and he couldn't help but be very sad, and secretly wept bitterly.
At this time, Cao Wei's army had also occupied Shangyong, and later Cao Pi combined the three counties of Shangyong, Fangling, and Xicheng into one, calling it Xincheng, and Meng Da was the new city Taishou to guard against Shu Han.
After Meng reached the new city, he boarded the White Horse Plug, and when he learned that Liu Feng had been killed by Liu Bei, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Liu Feng, Shen Tan and others are defending the city, even if there is a high city wall that is thousands of miles wide, it will be lost sooner or later." (Liu Feng and Shen Tan, according to the Golden City, lost thousands of miles!) - Western Jin Dynasty, Lu Ji, "Jin Dynasty")
But what is lamentable is that Meng Da's end is not so good.
After the death of Xiahou Shang, the general closest to Meng Da, Cao Pi also died, and for a while Meng Da's old friends and old patrons were gone, which could not help but make him feel uneasy in his heart, Zhuge Liang saw the opportunity, and sent someone to persuade Meng Da, so that Meng Da was ready to jump ship again and return to his "old owner" Shu Han.
However, Meng Da's plan was learned by his enemy Shen Yi, who sent someone to quickly report the matter to Sima Yi, who saw the situation and quickly wrote a letter to Meng Da, and the letter was all normal praise, as if he did not know about the matter at all.
When Meng Da saw the letter, he was also suspicious, but Sima Yi was still more than a thousand miles away from him, and if he came with a large army that was enough to calm himself, it would take at least a month, so Meng Da did not take him seriously at all.
Who knew that Sima Yi led a large army to give Meng Da a "blitzkrieg", marching for 1,200 miles in eight days, directly blocking Meng Da in the new city.
After sixteen days of offensive battle, Meng Da's nephew Deng Xian Surrendered Kaicheng and directly sold his uncle, and after entering the city, Sima Yi also beheaded Meng Da to show the public, and ordered the three armies, and the two people who had refused to send troops to help Guan Yu in Shangyong could finally be said to be all dead.
In fact, when Liu Feng refused to send troops to help Guan Yu, this person's "tragic fate" in Shu Han was already doomed.
In the Three Kingdoms, the Shu Han clique was different from the other two groups, Cao Wei and Eastern Wu, and Cao Wei and Eastern Wu both encircled their basic plates with interests, but unlike Shu Han, Liu Bei's fortune really did not depend on how much benefit he could give, because he did not have it at all.
When Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei worshipped and decided to follow him all their lives, Liu Bei was just a "mat weaver and peddler", and when Nanyang Sangu Maolu asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, he was a disgraced emperor who had lost the battle, and it was not until the Battle of Hanzhong that he had the strength to confront Cao Cao once, what benefits could he show to impress others?
Therefore, the core cohesion of the Shu Han group is the belief, the belief of Kuangfu Han, and we call it Shu Han today in order to distinguish, but since Liu Bei became emperor, his national name has always been Han, which is "Han Orthodoxy".
It is with this belief that Liu Beicai has been able to climb all the way and eventually become one of the three points in the world, so Shu Han is actually a country established by a group of idealists.
Feelings are a very important part of this group, Liu Bei can be his two brothers, desperately to launch a war of revenge against Eastern Wu, which can also show that in Liu Bei's heart, victory and defeat are not the first, there is feeling, there is temperature, there is "righteousness" is the most important.
Why Liu Feng did not go to rescue Guan Yu, the real reason is indeed unknown, perhaps Liu Bei at that time did not think it through at all, but why it is not important, the result of his not going to the rescue is that Guan Yu fought alone, and finally died of despondency, which is enough for Liu Bei to label Liu Feng with a "ruthless and unjust" label in his heart.
Coupled with Liu Feng's arrogance and wildness, bullying his teammate Meng Da at will, and not talking about the "united front" at all, this is enough to make it difficult for Liu Bei to tolerate Liu Feng anymore.
In the end, under Zhuge Liang's sentence "Feng Gang Meng", Liu Feng was bound to die.
