Preface
Why did they always flee from Cao Cao's clutches? During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao, the lord of Wei, was a military genius who used his troops like a god and won every battle. However, his heart of "love is like life" is also destined to be rare in his life. Those fierce generals who fought a bloody way on the battlefield and were invincible, Cao Cao was eager to catch them all and take them under his command.
However, even though the famous Cao Mengde went all over the world to compete with each other, he only subdued a very small number of people after all. So, what is the reason why those fierce generals that Cao Cao tried his best to obtain were always able to turn danger into danger and escape from his clutches?
The earth and mountains are trapped in the beast, and Guan Yu returns to the Han
In 200 AD, after the battle of Guandu with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao accumulated power like a mountain, and his territory expanded day by day. At this time, Liu Bei's subordinate Guan Yu was leading the army to defend Xiapi City. Seeing that the army was pressing the border, Guan Yu knew that something was wrong, and immediately mobilized the strength of the whole city to defend it. At this time, Cheng Yu advised Cao Cao: "Guan Yu is a genius in the world, and it is best to capture him." Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered that no arrows should be released in the army to hurt Guan Yu, and only besieged so that there was no way to escape.
The scheming Cao Cao admired Guan Yu's talent and bravery, and was already secretly determined to win this person. If Guan Yu is willing to use it for his own use, he will definitely be able to achieve great things! So he ordered his henchman Xiahoudun to lure Guan Yu outside the city in an attempt to capture him alive. Guan Yu planned to fight, and then fell into a heavy siege, with nowhere to retreat. At this time, Cao Cao, who relied on all his strength, could have been captured and subdued Guan Yu. However, he couldn't let go of his body, and only sent his henchman Zhang Liao to the soft grinding and hard bubble.
When Zhang Liao came, Guan Yu had been trapped for several days, and his sharpness was gradually lost. Zhang Liao made a generous statement, his words were sincere, and he told Cao Cao's sincerity in treating talents. Guan Yu misses his siblings all day long, and when he hears the words, he is moved, so he temporarily submits to him. Cao Cao was overjoyed, and personally came to untie him, treating Guan Yu as a guest. Treasure and beauty. Although he had been subdued, Cao Cao never dared to be careless, and still did not leave an inch, for fear that Guan Yu would leave again.
However, the world is unpredictable, Guan Yu is determined to work with Liu Bei after all. He and Cao Cao returned to obedience and set three conditions: not to serve Cao Cao, but only to be called a vassal to Han; Treat the lady favorably and wait for her to have arrangements; Knowing Liu Bei's whereabouts, he can leave at any time. Within a few days, Guan Yu set off for Cao Ying and went straight to Liu Bei's side! Cao Cao was furious and regretted it.
However, after thinking about it, Guan Yu had already been a guest under his account after all, and he had a bottom in his heart. Guan Yu, who escaped like flying, and Chitu, who did not enter the Wei State, will become his favorites in attacking Jiangdong in the future.
Thousands of troops attacked, and Zhao Yun went away with Adou
Similar to the repertoire of Guan Yu's departure, Zhao Yun's appearance also became a worrying scene for Cao Cao. At that time, it was in the late stage of the Battle of Guandu, and Cao's army was approaching Liu Bei's camp. Liu Bei hurriedly led Adou (later Liu Chan, the queen of Shu Han) who was hiding on horseback, in an attempt to escape from Chen Cang in secret.
When Cao Cao was holding himself the chance to win, he suddenly saw a general on a white horse on the top of the mountain to kill the camp, invincible. Cao Cao was overjoyed and immediately ordered that no arrows should be released in the army, and that he should be captured alive as much as possible. For a time, layers of iron horsemen outflanked Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun rushed left and right, fighting bloodily. Kill one Cao General in front of him and repel two in the rear.
Cao Cao watched the battle on the distant mountain, watching the countless fierce generals under his command defeat Zhao Yun one after another, and couldn't help but be a little stunned. Otherwise, if you let him kill and injure the generals, he will suffer a lot of losses! However, Zhao Yun only wanted to cover the lord, and he had no time to take care of the use of troops in the left and right armies.
In the end, Zhao Yun still found a way to survive under the siege, broke straight into Cao's camp, helped Liu Bei on horseback, and fought his way out of the siege in the chaos. Cao Cao regretted that he had missed a good opportunity for himself. If the arrows were rained at the beginning, this Zhao Yun would probably have become a hedgehog! After thinking about it, his army was pressing, and Liu Bei's subordinates were slumped, and he thought that Zhao Yun would definitely be able to be brought under his command in the future.
Thirty rounds were won or lost, and Xu Chu returned to Cao Cao's account
Unlike Guan Yu and Zhao Yun who left calmly twice, Xu Chu can be said to have been impressed when he saw Cao Cao for the first time, and since then he has developed a friendship with the lord of Wei.
At that time, Cao's army attacked the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Gepi. Halfway through, he encountered a brave and warlike young military general who fought with his fierce general Dian Wei for 30 rounds, and there was no winner or loser! Cao Cao was immediately very interested in this, and repeatedly made Dian Wei let go of the water. The next day, the two fought again, and Dian Wei was defeated. Cao Cao then ordered someone to invite this person politely.
It turned out that this person's name was Xu Chu, and he was a person from the country. The strength is infinite, once with both hands to grasp the oxtail, backwards more than 100 steps. Cao Cao was overjoyed, and worshiped as a captain on the spot, with countless rewards. Xu Chu also admired Cao Cao, an extraordinary leader, and did not hesitate to come to join him.
Cao Cao was overjoyed to get this fierce general. Treat the above guests with a gift, and never leave the left. Since then, Xu Chuxiang has been Cao Cao's staunchest confidant and guard. The figure who killed decisively on the battlefield and fought with the enemy until the two of them were splashed with blood on the ground has also become the most reassuring scenery among the armies.
Sixty rounds of wheel fighting, Pound was ambushed
Pang De was not originally loyal to Wei. This brave and warlike military general followed the famous Xiliang general Ma Chao to fight at first. Later, because Ma Chao was unrepentant, he gave up his subordinates under Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. When Cao Cao crusaded against Zhang Lu, Pang De, in order to repay Zhang Lu's kindness, fought bravely and fought to the death with Cao's army.
Cao Cao saw that Pang De was brave and fierce, and once again moved the idea of subduing talents. He ordered his henchman Zhang He and others to take turns on the field, wanting to capture Pang De alive. However, Pound was invincible and defeated the enemy. It wasn't until Xu Chu came on the field that the two fought for fifty rounds that Xu Chu was defeated!
The next day, Pang De attempted to break through the siege, but was accidentally knocked down by the Wei soldiers who were in ambush. Finally captured by Cao Jun. Cao Cao was overjoyed, and personally came to untie and treat him with great courtesy. At this moment, Pound was completely desperate for Ma Chao and had the idea of betrayal. In the end, under Cao Cao's soft grinding and hard bubble, Pang De switched to Caomen.
Since then, Pang De has fought for the Wei State. In many later battles, Pound made great contributions to Cao Cao. When Guan Yu, who gave Cao Cao a headache, came to attack Xiangfan, it was Pang De who sacrificed his life to protect the lord and made the Wei army save the day.
epilogue
There are all kinds of indications that these fierce generals may not have been willing to take refuge in Cao Cao, just because of helplessness. However, as Zhuge Liang, a strategist of the Shu Kingdom, said: "Life in the world is inevitably controlled by others." "Cao Cao's control is so great that few people can escape his clutches. Even if you escape for a while, you will not escape your doom after all. The only thing that can be decided, I'm afraid, is when and where to die......
