In the long course of history, Huang Zhong's fame in the First World War became the fuse of the rift within Liu Bei's group, and this seemingly insignificant event eventually evolved into an important turning point. Liu Bei originally intended to consolidate the unity of the group by praising meritorious figures, but it caused Guan Yu's dissatisfaction. Although Guan Yu reluctantly accepted Huang Zhong's reward in the end, the internal contradictions were undoubtedly revealed.
Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong, a region of great strategic importance to him. He longed to call Wang Jianguo here, use Hanzhong as a base, and go north to Cao to realize the great dream of Han Zhongxing. Liu Bei had many heroic soldiers under him, among which Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were brothers who accompanied them day and night. Military masters Zhuge Liang, Dudu Pang Tong and other wizards also served him, everything seemed to be going smoothly, and Liu Bei's goal of unifying the world was close at hand.
However, Liu Bei understood that to achieve great deeds, force alone was not enough. He must unite internally so that soldiers of different origins sincerely follow him. Therefore, he decided to reward the heroes, the most notable of which was Huang Zhong's reward.
Huang Zhong was originally a rural primary school in Jingzhou, but later defected to Liu Bei and made great contributions in the Battle of Hanzhong. Liu Bei knew that Huang Zhong came from a humble background, but he had a great achievement, and he could set an example for the people of Jingzhou. He made Huang Zhong the Marquis of Guannei, alongside Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao. This initiative aims to enhance the centripetal force of the scholars, inspire people with lofty ideals, and create a unified whole.
However, Liu Bei did not expect that this decision would cause internal unrest. Guan Yu, in particular, was extremely dissatisfied with Huang Zhong's reward. Guan Yu has a strong sense of self-esteem and has a deep view of Huang Zhong's origin and status. He believed that he had followed Liu Bei the longest, was loyal to Liu Bei, and should be promoted first. However, Liu Bei rewarded Huang Zhong first, which made Guan Yu feel snubbed and dissatisfied.
Guan Yu angrily rebuked Liu Bei in front of the messenger that he should not promote Huang Zhong, believing that this was a disregard for his years of loyalty. Although the messenger Fei Shi persuaded, and finally Guan Yu reluctantly accepted the reward, his dissatisfaction and contradictions had buried hidden dangers. This incident became the fuse for the partial disintegration of Liu Bei's group in the future.
Huang Zhong's reward ignited the contradictions that had been accumulated within the group for a long time. Guan Yu openly expressed the dissatisfaction of the old ministers and warned other old ministers that Liu Bei's new policies might snub them. There was a gap between the forces of different origins, and the integration of the team was destroyed.
Liu Bei did not repair this rift in time, and as a result, Guan Yu was captured and killed by enemy forces in Jingzhou, resulting in Liu Bei's loss of Jingzhou and a devastating blow to the process of seizing the world. Zhuge Liang thought bitterly, thinking that all this stemmed from Liu Bei's failure to deal with Huang Zhong, which made Guan Yu resentful.
It can be seen that Huang Zhong's reward eventually became an important turning point for Liu Bei Group from prosperity to decline. Liu Bei did not fully consider the feelings of all forces, and insisted on reusing Huang Zhong, causing his team that had been operating for many years to begin to falter at a turning point. Zhuge Liang's prediction was very accurate, but Liu Bei failed to listen to the advice, which also reflected his shortcomings in personnel management.
As a leader, to achieve great things, you need not only ambition and means, but also meticulous handling of interpersonal relationships and reconciliation of internal contradictions. Only with solid internal unity can we move towards the goal, otherwise, even if it is strong, it will be difficult to resist the erosion of internal rifts.
