Chapter 10: A Slave of Three Surnames

[Mengda is a relatively familiar figure in the Three Kingdoms.

After Liu Bei entered Chengdu, he surrendered and served together with Fa Zheng Li Yan, Deng Zhi and others. Later, when Guan Yu was trapped by Mianshui River, Meng Da persuaded Liu Feng to reject Guan Yu's request for help, which directly led to Guan Yu's defeat in Maicheng and his eldest son Guan Ping. Beheaded together.

Guan Yu's status in Shu Han is well known. Because he was afraid of Liu Bei's punishment, Meng Da led 4,000 troops to surrender to Cao Wei. Liu Feng refused Meng Da's persuasion to surrender and was sentenced to death by Liu Bei after returning to Chengdu. 】

"Liu Feng?" Liu Bei blinked in confusion: "Why did my son refuse to save his own uncle?"

When Liu Bei was living in Jingzhou, he had no children, so he adopted Liu Feng as his adopted son. This adopted son had a strong personality and liked martial arts. He often said that he would lead troops to fight in the future to relieve his father's worries.

"Could it be that after Adou was born, he cared less and less about Feng'er, leading to resentment?" Liu Bei speculated.

Guan Yu patted Liu Bei on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Who can tell what will happen ten years from now? Moreover, Guangmu also said that Meng Da was instigating it, so I don't need to blame myself too much."

Zhang Fei shouted: "This Mengda snake and rat, if you disobey military orders, don't be afraid of punishment. What kind of man are you? Such a person will be ridiculed even if he escapes to Cao Cao! And later he wanted to betray Cao Cao." Thief, bah, another slave with a third surname!"

Everyone in the hall looked at him sideways, and Huang Zhong couldn't help but hide his face to hide his embarrassment. In theory, although he was not taken seriously, he could be regarded as an out-and-out former minister of Liu Biao.

[Meng Da, who surrendered to Cao Wei, was favored, of course, not only because he had four thousand parts, but also because of the sensitive time of surrendering to Cao Wei.

Do you still remember Wei Xi mentioned before? The slogan of the uprising was to revive the Han Dynasty, so Meng Da, who betrayed the Han Dynasty in the same year, deserves to be publicized as a model.

Cao Cao died of illness in March of the following year. He had the intention of wooing him, and he also had the intention of buying horse bones for a thousand gold. In short, Meng Da lived a very comfortable life in Cao Wei. After Cao Pi became Emperor Wen of Wei, he awarded the title of Marquis of Pingyang Pavilion and moved his mausoleum to Yongxicheng. The three counties were combined into a new city, and Meng Da was appointed as the governor of the new city. 】

Zhao Yun laughed and said: "Third General, it seems that you have guessed wrong, and you are so wrong."

Zhang Fei was dumbfounded and couldn't understand this, so he couldn't help but muttered: "Since your Wei Xi wants to kill Cao Cao and take power himself, why are you calling for reviving the Han Dynasty? The Han Dynasty is here with my elder brother, how about you come over directly?"

Liu Bei remembered what he had seen when he was a guest in Jingzhou. Under the guidance of the Jingzhou rich family, Liu Jingsheng abolished the elders and established young ones, which ultimately ruined his life's foundation. Later, Guangmu also mentioned the twists and turns between Pang Tong's surrender to Zhou Yu and then to himself. This Jingzhou The nobles really taught Liu Bei a solid lesson:

"Wei Xi probably didn't have a Han Dynasty in his heart. The people of Jingzhou were very good at sticking together. Finally, under Wei Xi's instigation, they took the risk and tried to find a future."

Huang Zhong, a native Jingzhou native, said he was cueed.

Kong Ming, who is half Jingzhou, also said he was cueed.

But then he saw Cao Cao's death from illness and the defense direction of the old city being transformed into a new city. A vague guess arose in Kong Ming's heart.

No wonder some people in later generations lamented that after General Guan defeated Maicheng, the Shu Han had no chance. Perhaps it was because General Guan was so close to success before he defeated Maicheng!

[When they surrendered to Cao Wei, Meng Da and Xia Houshang attacked Liu Feng together, so the two gradually became good friends, and later became friends with Huan Jie, so they were clearly branded as the Qiao Pei Group.

When Cao Pi died of illness in Luoyang in 226 AD, Meng Da lost his biggest backer, and because the Qiao Pei Group had completely weakened, Meng Da knew that he was in a difficult situation, so he made a major decision after careful consideration: Otherwise, surrender to the Han! 】

"The new surrender only lasted six years. Isn't it too fast to change the court?" Liu Bei was shocked. Meng Da was treated so well and then ran away. Is Cao Wei's daughter buying horse bones so worthless?

Or is the internal fighting within Cao Wei so fierce?

"Ha! Slave with three surnames!" Zhang Fei said with disdain.

Or Huang Zhong pointed out a blind spot: "This Cao Pi died of illness within six years of his reign? Such an early death?" This reminded him of his own Huang family's only child who had died of illness.

Six years? !

Kong Ming knew the basic situation of all the forces very well and made a quick calculation:

"Cao Pi died at the age of forty?"

Forty years old was not considered an untimely death in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, but it was still considered a premature death after only six years of reign.

Zhang Fei looked around and pointed one by one:

"My eldest brother died because of Lu Xun's anger. He was sixty-three years old when he died. If he hadn't suffered this, he might have lived longer."

"My second brother is unlucky. Calculating the time, he will be almost sixty years old when he dies. Theoretically, it can last longer."

"The military advisor died at the age of fifty-four and did not even live to be sixty. You should pay more attention to your health!"

"Hey, my old Zhang is seventeen years older than the military advisor..." Zhang Fei counted with his fingers:

"That means I, Lao Zhang, will at least live to be seventy like General Huang!"

No, how come you are so competitive all of a sudden!

Kong Ming looked at Zhang Fei lovingly. After the three generals got off the battlefield, they said it sounded good because they were innocent, but they said it sounded bad because they were sometimes out of tune, and often at this time...

really!

Liu Bei was too lazy to give up his headache. He pursed his lips, and Guan Yu stood up without saying a word, holding Zhang Fei by the back of his neck and leaving:

"Third brother, although the kitchen has not prepared wine and food, you might as well go and take a look first."

"I don't want to drink!"

"No, you want to drink, and you want to practice martial arts in the martial arts arena after drinking. Be good, third brother. Second brother will beat you up after listening to the light curtain."

For a while, the host and the guest were happy.

[It's just that Meng Da's decision was a micro-manipulation of the prime minister. Maybe the intelligence system of Shu Han was too powerful, or maybe the prime minister had a keen eye for people's hearts. In short, he noticed Meng Da's contradictory situation, so he pushed him, contacted Meng Da through letters and exchanged gifts, and then turned around and sent a man named Guo Mo to pretend to surrender and revealed to Shen Yi that Meng Da wanted to rebel against Wei and return to Shu.

There are not many records of Shen Yi in history. He and his brother Shen Dan were appointed as Shangyong prefects by Cao Cao. After Liu Feng and Meng Da conquered Shangyong, they surrendered and became Liu Feng's subordinates. Later, when Liu Feng was attacked by Xiahou Shang and Meng Da, Shen Yi slid to his knees at the speed of light and became a colleague with Meng Da again.

After surrendering, Shen Yi was appointed as the governor of Weixing. This place was relatively peaceful. When Shen Yi had nothing to do, he would concentrate on doing one thing: reporting Meng Da.

Therefore, the prime minister's operation was not very obvious, but at least it could be said that Sima Zhao's intention was known to everyone. 】

"Shen Yi and Shen Dan." Kong Ming silently searched for the names in his heart and finally found them in the corners of his memory.

"I saw the names of these two brothers in the memorial in the first year of Chuping. They should be local tyrants and have always been close to Zhang Lu. After the memorial, Cao Cao appointed Shen Dan as the governor of Shangyong."

"First win over, then pretend to surrender, and reveal it to the enemy who has always had a grudge..." Liu Bei had a keen sense of smell and understood it almost at a glance.

"Borrowing a knife to kill?"

There are relatively few studies on Wei Feng, so in the end, Chen Yinke's research was adopted. He was a native of Pei County. The hidden content of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is actually quite exciting.
