The mystery of the life and death of Liu Beizheng's wife, Lady Mi, was occupied by Cao Cao? Or do you die by throwing yourself into a well?
In September 208, a famous battle took place, the Battle of Changshanpo, which made three people, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Lady Mi.
Zhang Fei was scared off by Cao Jun at Yangqiao, Zhao Yun was protecting the young lord seven in and seven out, and Lady Mi sacrificed herself to save Ah Dou and threw herself into the dry well and died.
This story comes from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and some people say that Lady Mi did not actually die by throwing herself into a well, but was occupied by Cao Cao.
The historical Lady Mi has always been a mystery, was she occupied by Cao Cao, or did she die by throwing herself into a well?
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the status of Lady Mi</h1>
There is a passage in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Mi Zhu that reads:
"In the first year of Jian'an, Lü Bu took advantage of the ancestor's departure to reject Yuan Shu and attack Pi, and captured the wife of the first lord. The first lord turned to Guangling Haixi, Zhu Yu was the wife of the first lord, the slaves were two thousand, and the gold and silver currency was used to help the army; ”
This paragraph reveals 2 key messages:
Lady Mi is a true "white rich beauty". Her brother Mi Zhu was a famous rich man in Xuzhou, when she got married, she was a domestic slave alone to marry 2,000 people, countless gold and silver treasures, and Liu Bei relied on these to reinvigorate herself.
How beautiful is it? There is no record in the history books, but there are some folk legends that Lady Mi was born beautiful, her skin was like gelatin, and she could be broken by blowing bullets, and she was the first beautiful woman in Xuzhou City.
Lady Mi married Liu Bei later than Lady Gan, but her status was higher than That of Lady Gan. According to the "Biography of concubines", "The first lord, Empress Gan, Pei Ren also." The first lord came to Yuzhou, lived in Xiao Pei, and took it as a concubine. The Lord counts the funeral chambers first, and often takes care of internal affairs. ”
Lady Gan was Liu Bei's concubine in Yuzhou's assassination of Shi Shina, and Lady Mi was the wife that Ming Media was marrying when Liu Bei later turned to Haixi, a year or two later, but Lady Gan was always a concubine in status.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > woman recorded in the Biography of the Concubine</h1>
The wives of Liu Bei recorded in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Shu, and biography of the Second Concubine were only Lady Gan and Lady Wu, and there was no Lady Mi, not even Lady Sun.
According to the book, Lady Gan was a concubine of Liu Bei, probably married Liu Bei when Liu Bei was a soldier of Xiao Pei, followed Liu Bei for many years, and gave birth to a son, Ah Dou, when he was in Jingzhou.
Lady Wu was The younger sister of Wu Yi and had married Liu Yan's son Liu Mao, who was widowed after her death. When Liu Bei entered Shu, Lady Sun was tricked back into returning to Eastern Wu, and everyone advised Liu Bei to marry her, But Liu Bei was embarrassed, but he could not withstand the persuasion of Fazheng and finally married her.
No wonder that when Liu Bei was fighting Wu in the whole country, Zhuge Liang could not dissuade him, and issued: "If Fa Xiaozhi is straight, he will definitely be able to stop the lord from cutting down Wu." Such an exclamation.
Lady Sun is sun quan's sister, as we all know, she was definitely married to Liu Bei, and returning to Wu was to some extent a betrayal of the marriage contract, which is almost equivalent to divorce, and it is normal that it is not recorded in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Shu , Biography of the Second Lord's Concubine".
A concubine, a widow, can be recorded in the register, the Ming media is marrying Lady Mi in the end was not posthumously sealed, was forgotten in the corner of history, "Three Kingdoms Zhi Shu Shu • Biography of the Second Lord Concubine" did not mention a word, obviously unscientific.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Why does romance of the Three Kingdoms say she threw herself into a well and died? </h1>
Lady Mi in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms threw herself into a well and died at Nagasaka Slope, and Luo Guanzhong also justified herself with a whole set of logic.
Mi Zhu was captured by Cao Ren's general Chun Yudao, and Mi Fang reported to Liu Bei in a panic that Zhao Yun had surrendered to Cao Cao. Mi Zhu may have gone to look for Lady Mi, so he was arrested. Mi Fang couldn't find Lady Mi and was confused, so she would talk nonsense.
Everything seems to make sense.
The historical Lady Mi is only mentioned in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Mi Zhu" and is not described in detail. Luo Guanzhong actually wrote this way, but it is a kind of respect for Lady Mi, in his pen, each character has its own soul, in this paragraph, Zhao Zilong sacrificed his life as savior, and the image of Lady Mi sacrificing herself for righteousness became fuller and more three-dimensional.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > two possibilities for The Life and Death of Lady Mi</h1>
In fact, there are two possibilities for Madame Mi's life and death.
First, Lady Mi died very early. Liu Bei ran around all year round, and Lady Mi, who was born rich and noble, obviously could not stand such a toss, so she died early. It is impossible to know where he died, but according to the literature, the biggest possibility is to die before Liu Bei went to Jingzhou.
Second, Lady Mi was taken hostage by Cao Cao, and even occupied.
Cao Cao liked other people's wives, as we all know. When he and Liu Bei attacked Lü Bu together in Xuzhou, they had ignored Guan Yu's repeated requests and forcibly occupied Guan Yu's favorite woman, Qin Yilu's wife Du Shi.
After defeating Lü Bu, he returned to Xuchang with Liu Bei, and often went to Liu Bei's house to visit his children, and among them, it was very likely that he had seen Lady Mi and Lady Gan.
According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, And Emperor Wu of Wu, "He was prepared to go to Ben Shao and obtain his wife." Prepare the general Guan Yu tun down Pi, resume the attack, and yu descend. This is the last record related to Lady Mi, and from then on there is no mention of Lady Mi in the book, only Lady Gan.
Where did Lady Mi go? After being captured by Cao Cao, why did it later become recorded in the book that only Lady Gan was left?
In fact, Lady Mi was most likely taken hostage by Cao Cao, and even taken by Cao Cao as her own.
Why Lady Mi?
Lady Mi was Liu Bei's wife, and her value as a hostage was far greater than that of Lady Gan, and Lady Mi's two older brothers, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, were rich people in Xuzhou City, and taking her as hostages, if Mi Zhu Mi Fang could turn to Cao Cao, Liu Bei would cut off his financial resources.
Obviously, this trick did not work, Cao Cao was ashamed and angry, and it was not impossible to occupy it with his bare hands.
Some people have questioned, here to explain, in history, there is no Guan Yu "Tushan about three things", Guan Yu thousands of miles to Liu Bei, not necessarily with two sisters-in-law, this is the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" artistic processing.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > another reason why Lady Mi was occupied by Cao Cao</h1>
Liu Bei was originally attacked by Lü Bu in Xia Pi, himself and Yuan Shu were defeated hard and fierce, and there was even a situation of "people eating people" in the army, leading thousands of people but no place to stay, it can be said that the mountains and rivers were exhausted, and it was at this most difficult time that the Mi clan gave him the greatest help.
Mi Zhu "studed" Liu Bei with all his wealth and became Liu Bei's biggest investor. Mi Fang followed Liu Bei on the run for more than ten years, and has always been loyal, although he finally surrendered to Sun Quan, but he also had to do it. Lady Mi, on the other hand, warmed Liu Bei's cold heart with her own tenderness.
Liu Bei was proclaimed empress dowager, and Bai Mi Zhu was made the general of An Han, the highest of the group of subjects, higher than the military general Zhuge Liang. Mi Fang surrendered to Eastern Wu and killed Guan Yu, Liu Bei did not blame Mi Zhu, and treated him as before, while Mi Fang received a good death after surrendering to Eastern Wu, and was not sacrificed to Liu Bei by Eastern Wu and then slashed by Guan Xing with a thousand knives as stated in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
He dedicated his most beautiful years to Liu Bei's Lady Mi, but there was nothing, and even history forgot her, leaving only a trace in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms And Mi Zhu Biography".
Judging from Liu Bei's performance, lady Mi may really have been occupied by Cao Cao and became a concubine of Cao Cao. Therefore, the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Shu, and biography of the Second Concubine does not contain any information about her.
If this is the case, presumably Lady Mi has been looking at Cao Cao's "Tongquetai" every day, waiting for the news of Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, but unfortunately, after all, "clothes" are not as good as "siblings". Liu Bei still chose to cut down Wu and avenge Guan Yu.
Lady Mi married Liu Bei at Liu Bei's most difficult time, but Liu Bei forgot all about her after she made her fortune.
This was a great injustice to her, but in ancient times, how could a woman control her own destiny?
I don't know if Liu Bei ever thought of Lady Mi before he died?
