Take you to know the three different countries

In the history of China, there is such a group of people, who do not lead the army alone, but are often valued by the lords or generals. They are not good at fighting, but they can often turn the tide of war with a few simple words, and we call such people military divisions.
The Three Kingdoms period was also an era when military divisions shined. Liu Had Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Pang Tong; Cao Cao had Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu... A wonderful judgment, a victorious ending. In that era of knowledge monopoly, military divisions were often strange and liveable.
Today we are going to introduce a military master, who is not famous, but he still did his best for his lord, but in the end he still ended up in the defeat and death of the soldiers.
Today we want to talk about the protagonist - Wang Fu.
Wang Fu (王甫), also spelled Guoshan, is a native of Guanghan County. During the Xingping and Jian'an years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Fu served Liu Zhang, who had divided Yizhou, and served as the governor of the prefecture, which was the official who hosted the documents. In 214, Liu Bei captured Yizhou, and Wang Fu surrendered to Liu Bei with Liu Zhang. Liu Bei used many talents in Shu, and Wang Fu was also appointed as Mianzhu Ling. During his reign, Wang Fu was highly regarded by Liu Bei and was transferred to Jingzhou and appointed as a staff officer to assist Guan Yu in defending Jingzhou, and in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Fu became the role of Guan Yu's military division in the army.
After Guan Yu attacked Xiangyang, Wang Fu immediately reminded Guan Yu to guard against the attack of Eastern Wu Lü Meng, and Guan Yu approved of this plan, so he built a beacon tower along the river, which made Lü Meng also have a headache for a while.
When Guan Yu was about to go out to Fancheng, Wang Fuli advised Guan Yu to leave Zhao Lei to guard Jingzhou. Guan Yu's arrogance did not accept it, and the subsequent development of the war proved that Wang Fu's judgment was correct, and Guan Yu regretted it too late.
Before Guan Yu was defeated and took Maicheng, Wang Fu's last admonition was that "there is an ambush on the small road, but you can take the big road." Guan Yu said, "Although there is an ambush, why should I be afraid?" Still didn't listen. As a result, Guan Yu's father and son were killed in Xiaolu. Wang Fu remained in Maicheng, and after Guan Yu was killed, he refused to surrender to wu and fell into the city and died.
As a small person, Wang Fu did not leave a name like Zhuge Liang. But these three plans can fully reflect his wisdom tank nature.
Building a beacon tower, deeply understanding the relations between the two countries, and knowing that interests are the basis for the coexistence of the two countries.
Replace people in Jingzhou, learn about the discord between Guan Yu and the Hao clan in Jingzhou, and replace uncontrollable personnel with cronies.
Retreat to take the big road, understand the human heart, reverse thinking to deduce the safe route.
It can be said that Wang Fu is absolutely reliable in grasping key points and understanding people's hearts. Unfortunately, what he was facing was not Cao Cao, not Liu Bei himself, but the proud old Guan Yu. Sometimes, I have to say that the plot is in people, and the success is in heaven.
Wang Fu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", with a leap on Maicheng, went with Guan Yu. And the historical Wang Fu also died in the retreating rebel army in the Battle of Yiling three years later...
What if Guan Yu could trust Wang Fu a little more? Will the ending be different? I'm sure the answer is yes. Jingzhou will not lose another say, but at least we read the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", a generation of famous generals Guan Yu will not stop abruptly in Maicheng.
