Twenty-four years after Jian'an, the First Battle of Xiangfan touched the nerves of the three forces. In this battle, Guan Yuwei, the head of the Five Tiger Generals of the Ji Han Dynasty, shook Huaxia, and the flooded Seventh Army made posterity even more relish. When Guan Yu's name shocked China, one of the five sons of liang, yu Ban, one of the five sons of liang, who was called the most "resolute" general under his command by Cao Cao, surrendered.
On the other hand, the former deputy general of Ma Chao, Pound, could have taken this opportunity to surrender to Guan Yu. Serve Ji Han with Ma Chao and continue the frontier. Unexpectedly, Pound actually held a crossbow to fight the Shu army. From early morning to noon, the bows and arrows are exhausted and they engage in hand-to-hand combat. Just to kill a bloody road, to seize a small boat back to Cao Ren's side. Contrary to his wishes, this loyal and courageous general was still captured alive by the Shu army.
Under Guan Yu's tent, Yu Ban and Pound De were tied up by five flowers, and the 30,000 soldiers outside the tent were blocked by the flood and retreated to become lambs to be slaughtered. Guan Yu originally wanted to push the boat along the water to persuade Pound and Yu Ban to surrender, but Cao Cao's thirty-year veteran general Yu Ban quickly surrendered. Pound, who was originally the easiest to persuade, seemed to be bent on death, scolding Guan Yu and the rats, winning without a fight, and making a vain name; and Liu Beiyongcai was bound to lose to Cao Cao.
How much Guan Yu cherished feathers, and how much he loved his brother. The defeated general scolded in front of the commander's tent, even if it was Ma Chao's original subordinates, they would eventually die.
At the sound of an order, the head fell to the ground.
Afterwards, Cao Cao received the news that Pang Dening was dead and could not surrender, and even sighed:
"I know that if I have been forbidden for thirty years, I don't mean to be in danger, but it is better than Pound's evil!"
At this point, Yu Ban spent the last two years of his life in the three kingdoms of Ji Han, Eastern Wu, and Cao Wei, and finally lost his late festival and ended up with the title of Li Hou.
Victory or defeat is a common affair of soldiers, and a general who wins is rare in the world. Yu Banben was a subordinate of Cao Cao's friend Bao Xin, so why did he become a good general of the Five Sons and become a signature warrior under Cao Cao. This is not unrelated to his superior military prowess:
Bao Xin was killed in battle, and Yu Ban was introduced to Cao Cao by Wang Lang. Cao Cao sent him to lead an army to capture Xuzhou, and Yu Ban lived up to the expectations of the people to capture Guangqi, winning the first battle;
On the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Yu Ban took the lead in asking for battle, and Cao Cao allocated 2,000 soldiers and horses to Yu Ban to defend Yanjin in the rear of Cao's army. Just when Liu Bei attacked Xuzhou, Cao Cao divided his troops to march east to Xuzhou, and Yuan Shao's army secretly attacked Yanjin. Yu Ban refused to accept it, and Yuan Shao had no chance to take advantage of it.
After that, Yu Ban took the initiative to attack and join forces with Lejin more than 5,000 people, and from the southwest direction of Yanjin, killed thousands of people and captured more than 1,000 people, including more than 20 people such as He Mao and Wang Mo, the generals of the Yuan army.
After the Battle of Guandu, Yu Was promoted to general of the Partial General and was deeply trusted by Cao Cao;
After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was defeated and took Huarong Dao, and Yuan Qi was seriously injured. At that time, Mei Cheng and Chen Lan rebelled. Yu Ban led troops to mei cheng, and Zhang Liao led troops to fight Chen Lan. Seeing that Yu Cheng's three thousand soldiers and horses were about to meet with Mei Cheng's three thousand soldiers, Mei Cheng knew that he was invincible and pretended to surrender, and when Yu Cheng's division returned to the dynasty, Mei Cheng led his troops to meet Chen Lan. For a time, Zhang Liao could not quickly defeat the traitors, and the grain and grass were not good. Knowing his humiliation, Yu Ban personally escorted the grain and grass, and joined forces with Zhang Liao to kill Mei Cheng and Chen Lan to quell the rebellion. In this battle, the forbidden sheep were replenished, and they were rewarded with adding 200 households to the food, and at this time, Yu Ban already had 1,200 households of food.
Until the Battle of Xiangfan, Cao Ren refused to defend Fancheng. Guan Yu bravely championed the three armies, and at that time, the land of Xiangfan had become a dilemma. Cao Cao sent the Seven Roads Army to the rescue, originally intending to take command of the third son Cao Zhi. How can Cao Zhi drink and misbehave, and it is difficult to be a big responsibility. Therefore, Yu Ban led the Seventh Army, a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, to rescue Cao Ren. It was autumn, it was raining and the Han River was soaring. Guan Yu took advantage of the heavens and the times to flood the Seventh Army and threaten Huaxia. Yu's defeat ushered in an important turning point in his life.
Cao Cao's weapon is more important than forbidden, not only because he has excellent military talent. Cao Cao paid more attention to Yu Ban's personality, the basic quality of being a general and handsome, steady and resolute.
Cao Cao consulted Zhang Xiu, who originally went with the flow. Cao Cao could not bear the character of a good wife and accepted Lady Zou, the widow of Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji.
Zhang Xiu was dissatisfied with this, and Zhang Xiu, who knew that he was going to be eliminated by Cao Cao, attacked Cao Cao's base camp first. In this battle, Cao Cao painfully lost the generals Dianwei and his son Cao Ang.
When Zhang Xiuqi attacked Cao Cao, Yu Ban found that the Qingzhou Army (Cao Cao's Yellow Turban Army) burned and plundered all the way, leaving the impression of a bandit on the people. In order to rectify military discipline, Yu Ban did not report to Cao Cao, so he disposed of these Qingzhou military military laws. A few of them escaped by chance and falsely accused Cao Cao of being rebelled against by Zhang Xiu. Yu Ban did not explain in time, but only led his soldiers and horses to build trenches and retreat in an orderly manner.
After safely escaping Zhang Xiu's pursuit, Yu Ban reported to Cao Cao. Cao Cao appreciated the need to forbid danger and to discern the priorities of things. For the prohibition of praise: "The difficulty of the water, I am anxious, the general is in chaos, the riot is strong, there is an immovable section, although the ancient famous generals, why add!" "Sealed in the Forbidden Yishou Pavilion Marquis."
From this incident, we can see Cao Cao's appreciation for forbidden and the trust between the master and servant.
If the rectification of military discipline was not enough to show Yu Ban's loyalty and make Yu Ban a close general of Cao Cao, then Yu Ban's killing of the general Chang Feng was enough to show his loyalty to Cao Cheng.
Chang Fengben surrendered to Cao Cao and then rebelled again. Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan to join Yu in his conquest of Chang Feng. Xiahou Yuan was brave and fierce, and he went down several cities. Because Chang Feng had an old friendship with Yu Ban, he asked Yu Ban to surrender in an attempt to save the life of his whole family. All the generals believed that Chang Feng's life should be left to The Minister. How to expect that he would forbid cherishing feathers and put Chang Feng to death in order to prove his innocence. Cao Cao heard the words: "If you don't surrender and return to the forbidden world, it is not fate!" After the East China Sea rebellion was put down, Cao Cao borrowed the hand of Emperor Xian and worshiped Yu Ban as a general of Huwei.
Yu forbidden strict military discipline and did not tell the slightest affection to his former old friends in order to verify his loyalty and righteousness. In this way, Yu Yu continued to rise in the career path, but there was no good reputation among the generals and the ministers of the DPRK.
Although his reputation was not good, Yu Ban was extremely majestic, which made the generals of the three armies all afraid.
Zhang Lubu was conquered by Cao Cao, and Zhu Ling made great achievements in this battle, and his prestige in the army continued to rise. Zhu Ling was originally a general of Yuan Shao's army, but later surrendered to Cao Cao. Cao Cao, the land of Hanzhong, was not yet fully in control, and the former general Zhu Ling's prestige soared, and he repeatedly made military merits. This made Cao Cao have to be jealous of Zhu Ling.
At this time, Yu Ban had become Cao Cao's confidant, and Cao Cao sent Yu Ban to reclaim Zhu Ling's military power. Zhu Ling had just made military merits, and now suppressing Zhu Ling could be described as unjustified and unsmooth, but Yu Ban was not afraid to fall into the "enemy camp" and led more than a dozen horsemen and soldiers straight to Zhu Ling's big tent. Forcing Zhu Ling to surrender his military power, due to the majesty of the forbidden, Zhu Ling's army was silent, and no one resisted.
Soon after, Cao Cao was crowned King of Wei, and Yu Ban was greatly respected, and was promoted to the rank of General of the Left and False Jieqi. At this time, Yu Ban can be described as an infinite scenery and the peak of life.
Soon after the Battle of Xiangfan, Yu Ban fell into the trough of his life and never got up again.
Many Three Kingdoms fans have speculated about the ban on surrender.
When Yu Ban just surrendered to Cao Cao, he was not afraid of the rumors of the Qingzhou Army, why did he lay down his life's honor at the peak of his life and be a brazen general.
One of the theories is that Yu Forbidden could not let go of 30,000 soldiers, and it was precisely because he cherished the 30,000 soldiers behind him that he gave up his lifelong honor. If he does not surrender, the death of a warrior is the highest honor, his family will be commended, and he himself can be named in history. But surrender, he is in a high position, deep doubtful Cao Cao trust, now the trust built up over the years has collapsed in an instant, no wonder Cao Cao said that he was inferior to Pound, leaving behind humiliation and family members to live with their heads bowed for a lifetime.
There is also a conspiracy theory, yu ban was played by Cao Pi. Yu Ban's surrender to Guan Yu was originally a preparatory plan agreed upon with Cao Cao in advance. Who knows that the stunned Qing Pondin's death will make Yu Forbidden back infamy.
Originally, 30,000 soldiers were surrendered, and Guan Yu's supply of grain and grass was a problem. Guan Yu really used Sun Quan's grain and rice in Xiangguan privately, and originally Liu Bei's Jingzhou was a sensitive area for Sun Liu's two families. Previously, Guan Yu proudly refused Sun Quan's initiative to ask for relatives, and also insulted Sun Quan with "tiger women can match dogs", which reduced the relationship between the two families to a freezing point. Now, for the sake of thirty thousand descendants, sun quan began to use sun quan's grain and rice privately, which caused Sun Quan to kill.
Guan Yu was proud, and Sun Quan's side was also strong and strong, and he also wanted face. Although Guan Yu was reduced to the forbidden and thirty thousand horses, he certainly could not digest it for a while, so he had to be wary of this new force. More troops were needed, and the defense of Gangneung was naturally weakened, and Lü Meng was able to lead a large number of troops to take advantage of the void, cross the river in white clothes, and finally kill Guan Yu by surprise.
Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, and Ji Han turned from prosperity to decline. This series of events should not be counted as the surrender of Guan Yu, Guan Yu privately transferred grain and grass, intensified the contradictions between Sun and Liu's two families, and dispersed the troops, resulting in the emptiness of the rear and self-destruction?
If this is the case, then Cao Cao is really playing a big game. Yu Ban was tricked by Cao Pi. Yu Ban surrendered to Guan Yu, and after Guan Yu's defeat, Yu Ban was escorted to Jiangdong.
Yu Ban and Sun Quan went hand in hand, and they were almost whipped on the spot by Yu Tuan.
In the end, Sun Quan declared himself a vassal to Cao Pi, and Yu Ban, who had a gray head, was sent back to China. While visiting Cao Cao's Gaoling Tomb, he was insulted by the pictures of his surrender on the murals and died of illness soon after.
If it is really a premeditated plan by Cao Cao and Yu Ban to eliminate the Forces of Ji Han, then Yu Ban's fate cannot be described as sad.
If there were no conspiracy theories, and if there was no painstaking desire for the life and death of thirty thousand soldiers, then why did he surrender?
Putting aside all kinds of factors, the source should be the most essential need of people, to live. Life is greater than everything, it is the instinct of animals, and it is also the most basic choice. But apart from life, what else is more precious to us and want to protect at all costs? That's what we're thinking about.
