The Three Kingdoms period was in troubled times, and loyalty was a very important topic. Many famous generals and counselors in the Three Kingdoms served the second, third, and even fourth masters, but many were "loyal" and misunderstood. . Here is a list of the misunderstandings of "loyalty" in the Three Kingdoms. The five pieces of trivia are all the most typical characters of "loyal ministers" and "rebellious ministers".
1. "Three surnamed domestic slaves" Lv Bu was actually a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty
Since the beginning of the assassination Dong Zhuo, Lv Bu was a grasshopper on the same rope as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty . Wang Yun told Lv Bu to take the country as his top priority. . When Emperor Xian moved eastward, Lü Bu came to welcome him, and he was granted the title of General Pingdong. This shows that Emperor Xian believed that Lü Bu was more important than the "heroes of Guandong" and that Lü Bu was "loyal to Han".
Lu Bu rebelled against Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo twice. Behind this, the Bingzhou military general group benefited a lot. It was not so much Lu Bu's capriciousness as it was the needs of the interests of the relevant political groups. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty chose Lu Bu perhaps because of his "pure" politics, but Lu Bu's loyalty to the Han was undeniable.
2. Chen Gong's "loyalty" is open to question
After Chen Gong left Cao Cao, he followed Lu Bu loyally and would rather die than surrender to Cao Cao. In fact, Chen Gong had conspired to betray Lu Bu and intended to join Yuan Shu.
At that time, Lü Bu's subordinate She Meng rebelled and was killed by Cao Xing and informed Lü Bu of "Chen Gong's accomplice". At that time, the palace owner was red-faced, and everyone else noticed it, so he decided not to pursue the case because of the high power of the palace official Chen.
3. Yuan Shao has no loyal people under his subordinates? The people who betrayed Yuan Shao during the Battle of Guandu included Xu You, Gao Lan, Zhang He and dozens of others. There was no loyal person in my impression. His subordinates did not leave any outstanding deeds in the history of matchmaking, but his unswerving loyalty can be said to be unique. The judge was favored by Yuan Hou'en, and after Yuan Shao's death, he helped Yuan Shang to defend Yecheng. Later, it was destroyed by Cao Cao. The judge scolded Cao for "only hating him for having too few bows and crossbows" and scolded Xinpi and others for surrendering. Disciple, he vowed not to surrender, and Cao had no choice but to fulfill his promise. His last wish was that "my Lord is in the north", "kneel down towards the north and kill him with your neck raised."
Shenpei imitated the ancients and was loyal and unswerving, which is very valuable in troubled times. Look at the time when was banned followed Cao Cao for thirty years, but he surrendered to Guan Yu after the defeat. Mi Fang followed Liu Bei and never betrayed him in the most difficult time, but betrayed his integrity when Guan Yu was defeated Jingzhou . Many people were just like that. Lack of loyalty and loyalty.
4. Wei Yan did not plot rebellion, and there is no "rebellion theory"
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that Wei Yan killed Han Xuan and surrendered to Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang believed that "the back of his head was rebelling" and had been secretly suppressing Wei Yan. Later, Kong Ming After died, he betrayed Shu Han and was killed by Ma Dai.
In fact, Wei Yan followed his predecessor into Shu and directly led the army to Liu Bei. After Kong Ming's death, Wei Yan actually had no intention of rebellion. He only fought for power with Yang Yi and caused internal strife. After his defeat, he was characterized as "rebellion".
5. The surrendered general Jiang Wei showed his loyalty and restored the Shu Han with a secret letter.
Liu Chan surrendered to Sima Yan . Jiang Wei, the former Wei State surrendered general, still did not forget to restore the Shu Han. Pretending to surrender, he actually encouraged Zhong Hui to rebel, looking for every opportunity to regain Shuhan, and even wrote a secret letter to Liu Chan.
The secret letter said that your Majesty may endure the humiliation, "I hope to restore peace to the country from danger." This kind of loyalty can be compared to Prime Minister Zhuge's "dedicate himself to death".
