The battle of Xiangfan was a big blow to the Liu Bei Group. Not only did it lose Jingzhou, but also Guan Yu, losing a large number of Jingzhou soldiers and horses. The Liu Bei Group, which had just reached its peak, was at risk of instant collapse. After the Battle of Xiangfan, Liu Feng, as the adopted son of Liu Bei, is also a titanic general in the army. Because he did not rescue Guan Yu, Liu Bei beheaded him, and Liu Feng also became a general who was wrongfully killed.
I personally think that the main reason for Liu Feng’s killing has nothing to do with Guan Yu, but the Liu Bei Group’s purpose of stabilizing the turmoil after the Xiangfan battle, and Liu Feng’s merits and demerits in the Xiangfan battle has nothing to do with it, but Said that Liu Feng's influence in the Liu Bei Group has threatened Liu Chan's status.
Let's first look at whether Liu Feng is responsible for not saving Guan Yu. Personally, it is not. Even if Liu Feng is defeated, it is too late for Liu Feng to save him. Moreover, he has no ability to save him.
"The Legend of the Three Kingdoms. Liu Feng Biography" from Guan Yu encircled Fancheng and Xiangyang, and even called the Feng and Da, and ordered the troops to help themselves. Feng and Daci are attached to Shanjun, unshakable, and will not accept Yu's fate.
This is the only record of Guan Yu’s intention to mobilize Liu Feng Mengda, but this was not when Guan Yu was defeated, but when Guan Yu led his troops to besiege the two cities of Xiangfan, and when Guan Yu led the Jingzhou army to be the strongest, Liu Feng chose to join Not obeyed.
This is understandable, because Liu Feng Mengda has just taken down the Shangyong three prefectures soon, and it is indeed undecided. If Liu Feng takes the army to help the Xiangfan battlefield, the Shangyong three prefectures will be lost.
"Three Kingdoms. Liu Fengzhuan" Shangyong prefect Shen Danju sent his wife and clan to Chengdu... Shen Yi rebelled and returned to Chengdu.
When Liu Feng Mengda conquered the three prefectures of Shangyong, the former prefect of Shangyong, Shen Dan, surrendered on his own initiative. In order to show his obedience, he sent his wife, children, and clan to Chengdu as hostages, but even so, in Xiangfan. After the war, Shen Dan watched the wind change, no matter how much, regardless of the life and death of your hostages in Chengdu, he directly rebelled.
It can be seen that during the Battle of Xiangfan, once Liu Fengmengda led his troops eastward to assist Guan Yu, it would be impossible for Shen Dan not to rebel. Then the three counties of Shangyong were lost. Was it Guan Yu's or Liu Feng's responsibility? Obviously Liu Feng's, and Guan Yu did not mobilize Liu Feng's power, so there is nothing wrong with Liu Feng not going to help Guan Yu.
and it was a siege at the time. Guan Yu led his troops to besiege Fancheng. Even if Liu Feng led his army, he couldn’t change the overall situation. This kind of siege where the defender is determined to defend the city can only rely on the siege to win. , If the attack is too high, no one can afford to lose.
After Lu Meng attacked Jiangling, Liu Feng no longer had the ability to rescue Guan Yu, because Guan Yu's choice was to return to the army to retake Jiangling, not to escape.
If after getting lost in Jiangling, Guan Yu would go straight north along the Hanshui River in order to save his life, he would be able to escape to Liu Fengmengda’s strength, but Guan Yu did not have it. After all, Liu Bei’s foundation, Jingzhou, was lost in his own hands, Guan Yu did not have that. Go face to Chengdu to see Liu Bei.
In addition, Guan Yu did have troops at the time. One was to leave the troops to survive and escape alone, and the other was to try to recapture Jiangling. As the second master of Guan Huaxia, he was bound to choose the latter.
"Three Kingdoms. The Legend of Wu Zhu" Guan Yu is still in the sun, and the west protects Maicheng. Right to lure it. The feathers descended, and the Libanqi was like an elephant on the city. Because of the escape, the soldiers were disbanded, and there were still more than ten horses.
Therefore, after Guan Yu learned that Lu Meng had attacked Jiangling, he led his army to the south. It can be said that Guan Yu’s decision made Liu Feng unable to rescue, because if he wants to rescue Guan Yu, he needs to get through the front line of Xiangfan. He does not have that force. At the same time, he had to face part of Sun Quan's troops, how could he rescue Guan Yu.
"The Legend of the Three Kingdoms. Guan Yu Biography" has taken the right to Jiangling, and all the wives of the Yu scholars have been captured, and the Yu Army dispersed. Quan Qian will counterattack Yu, Zhan Yu and Ziping at Linju.
Guan Yu’s final plan is also difficult to realize. After all, Jiangling is Guan Yu’s base camp. The family members of the lieutenant soldiers are in Jiangling, and Lu Meng has done a good job. After entering Jiangling City, the people in the city have not been disturbed. This is Guan Yu’s generals. The main reason for the collapse was that if Lu Meng led his troops into Jiangling City and raged and raged, then Guan Yu would have a chance to lead his troops back.
Having said that, looking at the entire Xiangfan battle, Liu Feng did not miss anything. Liu Bei blamed Liu Feng for not going to rescue Guan Yu. It was also untenable. How he saved it, led the soldiers to die on the rescue road.Up? Liu Bei can only blame Sun Quan, a perfidious ally.
Let's talk about Liu Feng's excessive suppression of Mengda. This is also one of the reasons why Liu Bei killed Liu Feng. I think this is a bit of a joke. When Meng Da attacked Fangling alone, Liu Bei was afraid of the surplus of Mengda military work. He sent Liu Feng to "support".
"Three Kingdoms. Liu Fengzhuan" Dajiang attacked Shangyong, the first master Yin was afraid of Danan alone, he was sent to the Hanzhong Chengmian submarine commander army, and Dahui Shangyong.
What Liu Bei is afraid that Meng Da will not be able to win the three counties of Shangyong alone is nonsense. If Liu Bei is only afraid of Meng Da’s lack of troops, don’t send Liu Feng to support Meng Da. After all, Liu Feng is Liu Bei’s adopted son and Liu Bei in the army. Titans, he will meet Mengda, regardless of whether Liu Bei has a military order, let Liu Feng rule over Mengda's subordinates, this is an inevitable fact.
Therefore, when Liu Feng came to Shangyong, he did not come to support Meng Da, but to monitor and suppress Meng Da. In that case, how can Liu Feng's so-called suppression of Meng Da incident be lost? Why did you send Liu Feng to Liu Bei, don't you know?
If Liu Feng was killed, one must mention one person, Zhuge Liang.
"Three Kingdoms. Liu Fengzhuan" Zhuge Liang was concerned about the fierceness of the seal. So she was sealed and self-decided.
Liu Fengzhi is the result of Zhuge Liang's persuasion of Liu Bei. Of course, he personally thinks that Liu Bei also has this idea. What Zhuge Liang is afraid of is Liu Feng's position in the Liu Bei Group. Although he is Liu Bei's adopted son, he is also eligible to inherit the rights of Liu Bei Group. This was what Zhuge Liang was worried about, and Liu Bei naturally understood it.
After the battle of Xiangfan, the Liu Bei Group lost Jingzhou. Whether it was the Jingzhou faction that Liu Bei had relied on before, or the Yizhou faction that had just returned to his family, they were all uncertain. The various forces within the Liu Bei group were complicated and ambitious. Too much, even the best friend Mi Fang, who originally followed Liu Bei, had voted in the battle of Xiangfan, and there were even more people who wanted to profit from the chaotic situation.
And even if Liu Feng himself has no guilt, the problem is that Liu Feng's identity is easy for others to use.
"Three Kingdoms. Liu Fengzhuan" has come to stand on his own as the prince Adou, and the wise person looks like a chill... and Xiaobai rushes out, enters and becomes hegemony;
This is what Meng Da wrote in his letter to Liu Feng when he attacked Liu Feng with Wei Jun after he fell to the Wei Dynasty. One point was mentioned in the letter, that is, after Liu Chan was registered as a prince, the talented people were chilling. Meng Da also mentioned Qi Huan Gong Jiang Xiaobai and Jin Wen Gong Chong'er, both of whom had experienced a life of upheaval and displacement, and eventually returned to China to become a generation hegemon.
Meng Da's implication is to pretend to be an injustice for Liu Feng. In terms of talent, Liu Feng is indeed stronger than Liu Chan, especially in the military. Meng Da wanted to persuade Liu Feng to surrender, with the intention of making a comeback later.
This is the reason why Liu Feng was killed by Liu Bei. Regardless of whether you are guilty or not, Liu Feng is Liu Bei’s adopted son and has influence in the army. Even if Liu Feng does not intend to seize power, it does not mean that others do not. After the war, what Liu Bei Group needed most was stability. Although Liu Bei died of resentment and anxiety after the Yiling War, Liu Bei, who was in his 60s at the time, had to consider his future affairs. Liu Feng, a potential threat to Liu Chan’s status Liu Bei will not leave it to Liu Chan to solve it by himself.
, under the pretense of not saving Guan Yu, squeezed out Mengda and lost the three counties of Shangyong, and killed him. It can be said that Zhuge Liang said that there is no problem. For the precarious Liu Bei Group at the time, although Liu Feng had talents , But his talent is precisely his guilt. Everyone is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime. This is the most appropriate evaluation of Liu Feng's ending.
