Liu Bei was a warlord during the Three Kingdoms period, and later became a member of the three-legged standing step by step. Throughout the history of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was a particularly hypocritical and selfish person, and during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei, as the founding emperor of the Shu Kingdom, Liu Bei did not pay too much attention to the issue of heirs!
After The Liang general Zhao Yun desperately rescued Ah Dou in Changshanpo, Liu Bei was particularly annoyed in his heart, and he "threw" Ah Dou out in front of Zhao Yun. In fact, it is to buy people's hearts, and Liu Bei has done a special job in this matter. When Liu Bei was in the early stage of entrepreneurship, he basically relied on the pity of the warlords to barely have a foothold!
When Liu Bei captured the four counties of Jingzhou step by step, he only considered the problem of his own heirs. Because of his years of traveling and having no heirs, he began to receive righteous sons. As his own façade, Liu Bei had to be carefully selected, so after he chose a long time later, a 10-year-old teenager was named - Liu Feng.
He also naturally became his eldest son, as his eldest son Liu Feng showed his superhuman strategic talent at the age of 20, which was deeply loved by Liu Bei. As the eldest son of Liu Bei, Liu Feng's status is also high and low, we mentioned Ah Dou earlier, Ah Dou is Liu Bei's own son, so after Ah Dou was born, Liu Feng's status has been declining!
On the battlefield, Liu Feng was particularly brave, especially during the Western Expedition, Liu Feng was particularly competitive. Of course, Liu Feng did all this for his own status, Liu Bei's favor for Liu Feng is different from Liu Chan (Ah Dou), Liu Chan, as his own son, did not have military merits, but Liu Feng was a military achievement!
When Liu Bei and Cao Cao were fighting in Hanzhong, Liu Feng scolded Cao Cao in front of the battle at this time. Cao Cao said in particular anger: Liu Bei, a mat weaver, actually sent a righteous son to fight with me, and when my son Huang Shu'er (Cao Zhang) came to the front, he must make you Liu family pay the price.
Cao Cao's scolding was already insignificant at that time, after Cao Jun withdrew, Liu Bei also accepted the advice of his subordinates to establish himself as the king of Hanzhong, and then after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi ascended the throne and usurped Han to establish himself as Emperor Wen of Wei! Liu Bei also did not want to show weakness and established himself as emperor, and began a struggle with Cao Pi.
Throughout this period, Liu Feng was far away from the political center of Chengdu, and he was sent to Shangyong Town to guard. In terms of blood relations, Liu Feng has lost a lot, it can be said that even if Liu Feng is excellent, his position in Liu Bei's heart will never surpass Liu Chan! Shangyong has been a place of exile since ancient times, and from the time Liu Feng was transferred away, Liu Bei had long thought of dealing with Liu Feng in this way.
Liu Bei believed that Shangyong was particularly important in his geographical position at that time, and he was able to form a rivalry with Meng Da and Guan Yu and threaten the central cities of the Cao clique, Xuchang and Luoyang!
Unfortunately, Liu Feng was proud of himself and did not want to interact with Meng Da and others at all, so the contradictions within Liu Bei's group intensified. Guan Yu did not heed the advice and insisted on using troops in Fancheng, resulting in the four counties of Jingzhou occupied by Liu Bei being attacked by Lü Meng of Eastern Wu, and Liu Bei's army was defeated, thus ending the Battle of Xiangfan.
There are many key points in this battle, and attacking Fancheng with Guan Yu's strength is a bit too far-fetched, but when Guan Yu had the advantage, he repeatedly asked Liu Feng for help, and Liu Feng watched Guan Yu's troops defeat Fancheng on the grounds that "the three counties of Shangyong have just taken over, and the troops are insufficient to divide the troops to fight", watching Guan Yu's troops defeat Fancheng, and finally hating Huarong Dao!
After Guan Yu's death, the most angry person was Liu Bei, who knew that this was the first general of Shu Han! After Guan Yu's death, Meng Da rebelled and directly supported the army to occupy the three counties of Shangyong. After Liu Feng fled back to Chengdu, Liu Bei was kind enough to comfort and did not prepare to kill Liu Feng, but because of Zhuge Liang's words, he directly changed Liu Bei's mind, and Liu Bei also made up his mind to kill Liu Feng.
Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei:
Liu Feng's personality has a problem, and now that you are alive and can cure him, who will be able to restrain him in the future? I advise you to clean it up first!
At that time, Yuan Shao's defeat was due to the discord between his heirs, resulting in the loss of a large number of resources in his hands to Cao Cao, and then Liu Biao's two sons were also due to internal strife, so that Cao Cao's soldiers gained Jingzhou without bloodshed, if there was no Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao would have completed unification long ago. In order to avoid the recurrence of this situation, Liu Bei was determined to order Liu Feng's execution.
Liu Cover did not understand such an ending, so he said on the execution ground:
When the third uncle Yide lost Xuzhou, his father did not blame him, and now I just lost the three dispensable counties in Shangyong and will be killed! I really regret not listening to Mencius!
At that time, Meng Da told Liu Feng early: Shangyong is the last place left by Liu Bei for you, and now That Shangyong has also been taken away by me, you must be dead when you return to Chengdu, so it is better to join me and run to Cao Chengxiang.
The implication of Liu Feng's words is: If I had defected with Meng Da, I would not have died like this!
Liu Bei also breathed a sigh of relief and said: Fortunately, I am not soft!
I believe that if Liu Feng can keep Shangyong, he will never die so wronged, what do you think about this?
