As we all know, among the Three Kingdoms, the first person to start a business with nothing is Liu Bei. Liu Bei was originally a small man who was a peddler and weaver, but after his persistent efforts, he eventually became the founding emperor of Shu Han. Those who faithfully followed Liu Bei for decades, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, were richly rewarded.
Mu Fang and Fu Shiren followed Liu Bei, the new Xuzhou shepherd, after he died of illness in 194, until he rebelled in 219 A.D., a **** 25 years. The two of them followed Liu Bei for 25 years, even in the most difficult years of escape have chosen to stand firmly behind Liu Bei, but why in the most prosperous period of Liu Bei's power defection? Analyze them separately as follows.
Reasons for the defection of Mo Fang, the governor of Nanxian County
Mi's family was a big local family in Xuzhou, which was not only rich but also had a very high political status. The old master of Mi knew that it was useless to have money in a chaotic world, and that it was only by having power that the family could preserve its honor, so he let his sons go to work as officials under Tao Qian. After Tao Qian's death, Liu Bei became the master of Xuzhou.
But Liu Bei had few soldiers and few generals at that time, and was just a stock with a green light when looking at all the heads of the ruling forces. However, the two brothers, Mo Fang and Mi Zhu, took a liking to Liu Bei and donated all their wealth to him, and married their sister to Liu Bei. According to the record of the Three Kingdoms magazine:
The first lord turned the army to Guangling Haixi, Zhu then into the sister in the first lord as a wife, slaves and guests two thousand, gold and silver currency to help the military capital, at the time of the poor scarcity, rely on this to revitalize.
That is to say, at the time of crisis if there is no Mi family brothers help, then Liu Bei may not be able to deer in the Central Plains again.
After Liu Bei established Shu Han, he rewarded his ministers for their achievements. Although the Mi brothers did not excel in literature or martial arts, they were all given high positions. The elder brother, Mi Zhu, was named General of An Han, a position higher than Zhuge Liang, enjoying glory and wealth; the younger brother, Mi Fang, was named governor of Nan County, a high position in Jingzhou, second only to Guan Yu, mastering the logistics of the army.
Mu Fang's status in Jingzhou is certainly high, but only the second in command, the top boss Guan Yu is a hand. Guan Yu thinks highly of himself, and he doesn't even look down on the noble generals like Ma Chao, let alone the likes of Elk Fang, who doesn't give a damn about him. Every time he discusses a matter, Guan Yu always makes it difficult for Mo Fang to get off the stage. Thinking about it, Mo Fang is also an old employee of Liu Bei, and is also a relative of the emperor. In addition, how to say that they are still Liu Bei's brother-in-law, let you here to call to drink into what kind of appearance?
Public security guard Fu Shiren mutiny reason
Guan Yu know 麋芳 and Fu Shiren dating, he was very unhappy. Guan Yu said to Mo Fang: ? Fu Shiren that is not a person, you do not always with him in a piece.? Guan Yu's words are stone-cold, from Fu Shiren's point of view, Guan Yu this is blatantly look down on himself, from the perspective of Elk Fang, Guan Yu interfered too much in his own life. In this way, Guan Yu even offended both people, while the relationship between these two people is getting closer and closer.
Who doesn't have a temper when you're a general? Guan Yu looked down on the two, these two people know very well. Day by day, these two generals on Guan Yu's dissatisfaction is also more and more. It's like a warehouse, the interior has been filled with hay, now just a spark, this place will be completely ignited. And what ignited Mo Fang and Fu Shiren was the threat of death.
Mu Fang and Fu Shiren received more than one death threat from Guan Yu. The first time was when the two men mistakenly ordered a tent because they were drinking. Guan Yu really wanted to kill the two men, but thought that it was ominous to kill a general before battle, so he didn't kill them. But this move scared both of them. It should be known that Guan Yu was a fake sectional battle-axe and could kill anyone in wartime. Among the two, especially Fu Shiren got more and more scared the more he thought about it, so he defected to the Eastern Wu through Yu翻 when Lu Meng crossed the river in white. Fu Shiren's voluntary surrender made Yu Fang very passive. Public security was the transit center from Jiangling to Wuling and Zuoling, and with the loss of public security, Jiangling was a lonely city.
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jiangling city are facing the proud soldiers from Dongwu, and Yu Fang is ready to die in defense. At this moment, Fu Shiren came to persuade him to surrender. Fu Shiren did not say anything, but only said to him, "How is Guan Yu treating us? You know very well how Guan Yu treats us, if you continue to work under Guan Yu's tent, you will die without a burial place one day. Despite Fu Shiren's good advice, but 麋芳, after all, is an imperial relative, so did not show Fu Shiren attitude.
At this time, Guan Yu's commander arrived again, saying that Guan Yu wanted Yu Fang and Fu Shiren to collect grain and send it to the front line within the deadline, or else they would be executed by military law. However, at this moment, Dong Wu had already fully occupied Public Security, how to collect grain? One step forward is death, but one step back is life. The first step was to take a step back, but the second step was to take a step forward, and the third step was to take a step back.
So, it was not only because they were afraid of death that they fled and surrendered, but also because of Guan Yu's oppression.
So we don't just see the leader of the bright and shiny, in fact, want to do a good job of leadership is not really a simple thing, not good will lead to fire.
