The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 434 Tragic Liu Feng
While waiting, Lu Heng remembered what he knew about Liu Feng's deeds.

Liu Feng's original name was Kou Feng, the son of Luo Hou's family. This family has no name, and it is known that Liu Feng has an uncle named Liu (named Liu Mi in the novel). He was accepted as adopted son by Liu Bei and changed into Liu Bei.

First of all, the specific time when Liu Feng was adopted by Liu Bei as a adopted son is not known. It can only be speculated that in the sixth year of Jian'an, in 201 AD, Liu Bei took refuge in Liu Biao, and until 206, when Liu Bei had his own son, Liu Chan. life!
There is a part of the romance here. In the romance, Liu Bei's plan to take Fancheng was Xu Shu's very brilliant battle. He broke the eight-door golden lock formation. Hebei's descendants Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were all beheaded by Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei in this battle.

It was also after this war that Liu Bei and Fancheng county magistrate Liu Mi celebrated together, and saw Liu Feng adopted as a son. In Fancheng District, there is a famous dish "sweet meat with sand" circulating this story to prove it.

And don't think that Kou Feng's background is not good, Kou Feng clearly records that Luohou's son is the next Luohou!Luohou is the county lord!
There are three ranks in Hanlu Marquis Shiyi, which are divided into County Marquis, Liehou and Tinghou.

You must know that Lu Bu’s Marquis Wen and Marquis Luo were granted the same level by Dong Zhuo, and Guan Yu’s Hanshou Tinghou was only the lowest Tinghou. Although the world was in chaos at that time, the princes still followed the Han law. Follow the Chinese system.

It can be seen from this that although Liu Feng's status is not as good as that of Liu Bei who has already made a fortune, it is more than enough compared with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, but because of becoming Liu Bei's adopted son, he is inexplicably shorter by a generation.

At the same time, Liu Feng is a controversial figure. The key is Guan Yu's death. At that time, Guan Yu sent troops to attack Xiangfan and asked Liu Feng to send troops. This person refused. In the end, Liu Bei disregarded the relationship between "father and son", and Liu Feng was ordered to commit suicide. It was so tragic that he had been adopted as a son for half his life and died at the hands of the father he recognized.

As the saying goes, a tiger's poison does not eat its sons, and to use an inappropriate analogy, it is reasonable for Liu Bei to kill his adopted son if Lu Bu killed his adoptive father Ding Yuan and bore his infamy for the rest of his life?What's the point?
No matter how many people in the world think that Liu Feng is unjust, not sending troops to rescue Guan Yu and leading to defeat in Maicheng, this point really has to be said for Liu Feng, this is an illusion given by Romance, and it is correct not to send troops!
Guan Yu's defeat in Jingzhou was too fast and he didn't ask for reinforcements from the beginning to the end. Liao Hua broke out of the siege and asked Liu Feng to send troops to rescue him, but he refused, and then entered Shu to ask for reinforcements. This is the story of the novel!
In history, Liao Hua was captured in the state of Wu, staged a realistic version of riding a thousand miles alone, and returned to the state of Shu with his mother after cheating his death!
Therefore, from beginning to end, in the Battle of Fancheng, Guan Yu did not ask for reinforcements when he was defeated. It was the offensive stage for Liu Feng to send troops to cooperate with the attack on Fancheng.

At this stage, we must analyze Liu Feng's behavior, but before that, we must analyze the "legality" of Guan Yu's battle!
The node when Guan Yu sent troops to Xiangfan was half a year after the Battle of Hanzhong between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was forced to retreat after two years of fierce battle in the Battle of Hanzhong. According to common sense, Liu Bei should recuperate.

At the same time, Liu Feng captured Shangyong at the end of the Battle of Hanzhong. Liu Bei asked Meng Da to set off from Yidu to capture Shangyong. He was afraid that Meng Da would not be able to capture Shangyong and asked Liu Feng to command Meng Da's military power. What would Meng Da do? think?
Guan Yu's Northern Expedition to Xiangfan, whether he received Liu Bei's order has always been a mystery!

If Guan Yu was ordered to make the Northern Expedition, the normal military strategy should be that Liu Bei stay in Hanzhong to deter, and let Liu Feng win Shangyong and cooperate with Guan Yu to send troops. This is the normal strategic policy, not to let Guan Yu go deep alone.

But at this time, Liu Bei claimed that the queen had returned to Chengdu with the troops. At this time, the relationship between Sun Wu and Liu Bei was considered tense. The "Friendship Ambassador" Lu Su died of illness two years ago. The Shu Han has dealt with each other.

Two years ago, in the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Cao's main force was restrained by Liu Bei, and Guan Yu did not send troops. At this point, Guan Yu led his troops northward.

It completely violated conventional military operations. You must know that Zhuge Liang Longzhong said very clearly that Liu Bei sent troops to attack Chang'an, and Jingzhou sent troops to deter Cao Jun.

Assuming that Guan Yu sent troops without authorization, and Liu Feng asked Liu Feng to cooperate within a few months after taking Shangyong, normal generals would refuse.

Here comes the question, is Liu Feng at fault?
According to the military law, if you send troops without an order, you should be executed if you provoke a war.

It was "illegal" for Guan Yu to send troops, and Liu Feng would be innocent if he didn't follow blindly and send troops without authorization.

But if Guan Yu sent troops under Liu Bei's order, then Liu Bei's miraculous operation is incomprehensible. Let the army withdraw from Hanzhong first, so that Cao Cao's Liangzhou and Chang'an are no longer threatened, and don't order Shangyong and Jiangzhou as support, so that Guan Yu can feel at ease He went out to battle, and did not send envoys to stabilize Sun Wu.

The same is true in history, Liu Bei did not immediately blame Liu Feng and Meng Da after Guan Yu's death!

Judging from the whole incident, it is very likely that Guan Yu sent troops without authorization, resulting in the loss of Jingzhou. Then Zhuge Liang didn't 'persuade', he definitely used the military law as an example to 'decision'!
On the contrary, Liu Bei was the secondary responsibility. Guan Yu sent troops without permission and Liu Bei did not stop him. Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, which shocked China. Liu Bei did not cooperate with the action. He was completely watching Guan Yu sing a one-man show. This was Liu Bei's major mistake, but he blamed it later Liu Feng.

As for Liu Feng's death, it was Liu Feng and Meng Da who turned against each other in the same year. Meng Da took refuge in Cao Wei. Originally, it was the two brothers Shen Dan and Shen Yi who were forced to surrender. The event that led to Liu Feng's death.

Liu Bei used Liu Feng to persecute Meng Da, and later held Guan Yu accountable. Zhuge Liang also participated in it and bestowed Liu Feng to death!

There is even more doubt here. If Liu Feng and Meng Da turned against each other to the point of hatred, why did Meng Da still write a letter asking Liu Feng to surrender to Wei?Didn't Xu Huang lead the way and wish he could kill Liu Feng?
Who caused the confrontation between Liu Feng and Meng Da?
As mentioned above, Liu Bei ordered Meng Da to attack Shangyong and then sent Liu Feng to seize military power. Is this a problem with Liu Feng or Liu Bei?Would Meng Da give Liu Feng a good look?Will Liu Fenggang's strong subordinates fight back if they refuse to accept?

The loss of Shangyong, the root cause is that Liu Bei is the main responsibility. It was Liu Bei who changed the commander in front of the battle, which caused the general to rebel against Meng Da. Liu Feng did not surrender but was not recognized, but was killed instead. Sad!Alas! .

Then judging from Zhuge Liang's reflection, it is impossible for Zhuge Liang to persuade an innocent general to die, so Guan Yu did not take any action immediately after his death, and Shangyong's loss of Liu Feng was indeed responsible, but it was Zhuge Liang who did it for him. Liu Bei is wiping his ass!Take Liu Feng's 'tough' character as an example!

That's why Liu Feng said that sentence before he died: "I regret not listening to Mencius Du (Meng Da)!"
