Mi Fang followed Liu Bei for 24 years. Why did he choose to surrender to Soochow later?

After Mi Zhu defected, after a long time, he became evil. When Liu Bei and Yuan Shu fought to the death, they secretly colluded with Yuan Shu and stabbed Liu Bei in the back. When Liu Bei's rear was attacked, and Cao Bao and Zhang Fei, the old staff, secretly greeted Lu Bu into the city, but Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's wife Gan and Liu Bei's family members fled the city, and a large amount of military supplies fell into the hands of Lu Bu, who copied Liu Bei's lair and seized Xiapi City without much cost. Took Liu Bei's Xiapi City.

Liu Bei, who fought at the front, heard that there was a change in the rear, and he forgot about Yuan Shu and immediately returned to Li. Liu Bei's soldiers knew that something had happened at home, and that Lu Bu had all their families, and their hearts had long been confused. Liu Bei saw that Pi had no hope of defeating Lu Bu, so he had to lead troops south again, trying to seek a decisive battle with Yuan Shu, but his morale was gone. How could he have won the battle, so he was quickly defeated.

Liu Bei only wronged himself and surrendered to Lu Bu, who returned Liu Bei's wife. In ancient Chinese, "wife" usually refers to his wife and children, here only refers to his wife. This "wife" means Gan.

When Tao Qian died, he also asked Mi Fang to entrust Xuzhou to Liu Bei.

Modest and sickly, he said not to drive Mi Zhu, saying, "No one can govern this country safely except Liu Bei." After Tao Qian's death, Mi Zhu led the crowd to meet Liu Bei as a shepherd in Xuzhou.

At this most difficult moment, Mi Zhu stationed in Xuzhou gave Liu Bei the greatest support. Mizhu is a billionaire with a lot of money. Mi Zhu and his younger brother Mi Fang gave all their money to Liu Bei. At the same time, more than 2000 servants, guests and clansmen joined Liu Bei's team. Mrs. Gan fell into the hands of Lu Bu, and her life and death were unknown. Mi Zhu married his sister to Liu Bei.

Mi Zhu is a bit like Lv Buwei. He quickly turned from business to politics. At the lowest point of Liu Bei's career, he gave his full support. It can be seen that he has not only a business mind, but also a good political mind. With the strong support of the Mi brothers, Liu Bei can temporarily avoid worrying about his survival.

Later, the Mi brothers followed Liu Bei around and finally went to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's reinforcements were delayed because of the unfavorable attack on Runa. After the defeat, he went south to Liu Biao, who accepted Liu Bei.

Before going to see Liu Biao, Liu Bei sent Mi Zhu and Sun Gan to contact Liu Biao first. Liu Biao personally came to the suburbs to meet Liu Bei, and treated him with courtesy. He also mobilized Liu Bei's military forces to station Liu Bei in Xinye.

The battle of Chibi brought Liu Bei back to life. In the process of attacking Yizhou, due to the death of Pang Tong, Liu Bei ordered Zhuge Liang to enter Shu. Zhuge Liang asked Zhang Fei to lead the troops first, and he and Zhao Yun followed. The two agreed to meet in Jiangzhou.

Guan Yu was left to defend Jingzhou. In order to help Guan Yu defend Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang left Ma Liang, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Liao Hua and others.

Why did you leave Mi Zhu and Mi Fang in Jingzhou? With its own territory, Yizhou was quickly captured. Liu Bei began to increase his rank and title. Xu Jing, Mi Fei and Jian Yong were invited as guests and friends. Mi Fang was made the satrap of Nanjun County, obeyed Guan Yu and monitored Guan Yu at the same time. However, Guan Yu has always been a noble fortune teller, and his relationship with Wu is not good at home, and he is also dissatisfied by his men.

Liu Beiren was appointed as Mi Fang as the prefect of Nanjun, guarding Jiangling, and the stone man was the general stationed in public security. Besides being a military location, are there any other more important reasons?

Of course, that's to keep an eye on Guan Yu and prevent him from opposing himself. After all, anything can happen in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms. Mi Fang is his brother-in-law, and the Stone Man is his fellow countryman. Liu Bei can't doubt their loyalty. He is fully qualified to monitor Guan Yu.

Starting from Guan Yu's "arrogance", of course, it is impossible to treat this wife, brother and fellow countryman with false words, while Mi Fang and Stone Man pretend to be army inspectors. Guan Yu and Coss ordered "military supplies" when Fancheng refused, but they did not obey and "saved without knowing". Although Guan Yu once said angrily, "I will kill you when I come back", the historical materials of Guan Yu Chuan quoted before are the most typical.

Because of these contradictions, Guan Yu certainly felt uncomfortable and had a bad attitude towards his brother-in-law, while Mi Fang felt that Guan Yu looked down on himself, so he held a grudge. After Guan Yu sent troops, although Mi Fang and Fu Shiren were responsible for providing military resources, they always deliberately delayed. To this end, Guan Yu once said that "you must be severely punished when you come back", and both Mi Fang and Fu Shiren felt uneasy. They knew Guan would do as he said.

Why did Mi Fang and the Stone Man surrender? With the book "Guan Yu Chuan" said:

"South county satrap Mi Fang in Jiangling, sergeant Ren Tun public security, all too (unique) feather light yourself. Since leaving the army, Fang Ren has provided military resources and did not know about the rescue. Feather said' to cure', and Fang Renhuai was scared. Therefore, (Sun) power yin lures Fang and benevolence, and Fang and benevolence make people welcome power. "

Why did Mi Fang and the Stone Man surrender? Guan Yu's contempt for them, their "fear and anxiety" and Sun Quan's "seduction" certainly have a certain relationship. But how to "seduce" Through whom "seduce"? Although there is no specific content in historical materials, Pan Zhuo, who is at odds with Guan Yu, deserves attention.

One Pan Zhuo is a key figure. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Zhi Yang, he said: "Pan Zhuo is a man who inherits Ming and peace. Liu Bei went to Sichuan and appointed Pan Zhuo as the state official. Pan Zhuo was also at odds with Guan Yu. Sun Quan attacked and Pan Zhuo went to Dongwu. "

The biography of Pan Zhuo in the same book Wu Zhi also said: "Pan Zhuo is a man of Hanshou in Wuling, and Guan Yu is the director of Hanshou. When he was young, Jingzhou appointed him as the standard of Jiangxia. After Liu Bei took over Jingzhou, he appointed Pan Zhuo as the governor. Liu Bei entered Shu and left Pan Zhuo as a state. "

Pan Zhuo is "Sun Quan attacked (Guan Yu) and entered Wu", which ranks with Mi Fang and Pan Zhuo Biography, but "Sun Quan killed Guan Yu, conquered the land and worshipped the army corps commander." Pei Songzhi quoted Yu Pu's Biography of Jiangbiao, saying, "(Sun) has the right to conquer Jingzhou, and all the officials attach it, but (Pan) claims that he is sick alone."

Shu Zhi thinks that Pan Zhuo surrendered to Sun Quan, but Wu Zhi doesn't remember, and the biography of Jiang Biao quoted in the note says that "all officials are attached". Pan Zhuo didn't see Sun Quan alone. It seems that he never surrendered at that time. Which is right and which is wrong?

Judging from the state of affairs at that time, it is very likely that Sun Quan induced Mi Fang and Fu Shiren to surrender through Pan Zhuo. When Liu Qi was alive, the contradiction between Jingzhou natives and Liu Bei Group was not prominent. Once Liu Bei was in charge of Jingzhou animal husbandry, the contradiction between Guan Yu and Pan Zhuo would quickly become prominent and even intensified. Sun Quan certainly saw this.

It was Sun Quan's best policy to seduce Mi Fang, betray, attack Jiangling and public security, seize Jingzhou and destroy Guan Yu, which can be seen from Pan Zhuo's attention in Wu. The historical source of Pan Zhuozhuan should come from family biography and so on, but it is just taboo. Pan Zhuo should be the matchmaker for Mi Fang and Fu Shiren to surrender to Sun Quan in Soochow. Why did his lobbying induce them to surrender? As far as their close relationship with Liu Bei is concerned, lobbying words are by no means ordinary.

Later, Mi Fang and the Stone Man surrendered. As mentioned earlier, this is due to Sun Quan's "yin lure". According to Guan Yu's Biography quoted earlier, "(Mi Fang) always thought that (Guan Yu) belittled himself" and "Fang and Ren Xian were afraid of uneasiness", but the specific content of "seduction" was not explained. The so-called "belittling oneself" is an inevitable manifestation of Guan Yu's arrogance, but what is the specific content of "belittling oneself"?

One should be that their ability is really limited, relying only on Liu Bei's nepotism and fellow villagers;

Secondly, they should rely on this relationship to monitor Guan Yu. If the key point is here, the reason why Guan Yu despises Mi Fang and the Stone Man is secondary, and the main reason is Liu Bei behind them.

The so-called "fear", one should be that both of them are afraid of Guan Yu, especially Guan Yu's second guessed;

The second kind should be afraid of Liu Bei, afraid that Guan Yu would fail under the joint attack of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, become the scapegoat for the fall of Jingzhou, and be killed by Liu Bei. Later, Liu Feng died on the charge of not saving Guan Yu. (Biography of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Zhi and Liu Feng).

Once again, it proves that Pan Zhuo, who is staying in the state, should be the matchmaker who "lures" to surrender, and his lobbying words will not go beyond this scope. Of course, this is an inference, but this inference is reasonable.

In a ambivalent mood, it is understandable that Mi Fang betrayed Jingzhou.
