Running the army according to law is very strict. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, the ban at that time was in the name of Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Zhang He and Huang Xu, and every time Mao conquered, he refused to be the vanguard of the army. However, the ban on holding soldiers is strict, and the thieves' property is stolen, so the reward is particularly heavy. (See Biography of the Three Kingdoms in the Forbidden City) Because the imperial army was too strict, his men had no money to take it. Cao Cao clearly knows this style of Forbidden Son, so he takes special care of Forbidden Son every time, which can be described as well-intentioned.
Although he fell short in the end, his failure was full of contingency (mainly because Guan Yu was so lucky that he was as good as winning a Cai ticket). In his poems, Confucius commented on the prohibition: the success or failure of a hero is accidental.
Many people ask why Yujin didn't die for his country like Pound. The argument that Yujin surrendered to Guan Yu for fear of death has a long history, and most researchers and enthusiasts in the Three Kingdoms period judged it this way. The evidence is in Chen Shou's Biography of the Three Kingdoms of the Forbidden City, which records that "climbing mountains and looking at the water with the generals is forbidden, and there is nothing to avoid. In a big ship, he attacked the ban and the ban would surrender, and Pound died unyielding. " If you don't succeed, you will die. Those who are forbidden show a desire to survive. From the perspective of "forbidding surrender", he felt that there was almost no resistance, which was really puzzling. Even Cao Cao himself said: "I know that it is better to be banned for 30 years than to be in danger!" "
Did Cao Cao really misread Yujin? The author believes that people who are banned should say that they are unlikely to kneel down to save their lives. At the beginning of the battle of Guandu, Yujin's situation was also full of dangers. Many of Cao Cao's men had privately shown their kindness to Yuan Shao and were ready to surrender at a favorable time, but Yujin was always loyal to Cao Cao and did not see that he had the idea of death. Judging from Yu's experience, it is really impossible to draw the conclusion that he is greedy for death. So, why did you suddenly make an amazing move in your later years? The author thinks there must be something hidden in this.
We might as well imagine the situation at that time, perhaps as described in Kong's poem: "Cang couldn't keep up with the pace, crawling on the half-dead and injured." Don't you want to run if you are poor? Looking around, it seems that the sea is endless. Catfish are still afraid of jumping. Who dares to be the enemy in case? "In this case, the whole army has no fighting capacity at all, and it is simply doing nothing. Is it unnecessary resistance or surrender? I'm afraid this choice has already been made in jun bing's mind. As the supreme commander, Yu Jin is also the respected object of officers and men, and his every move naturally affects the fate of the entire Seventh Army.
Although he is ruled by law at ordinary times, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about his soldiers. In fact, the more resolute a general is, the more sympathetic he is to his soldiers. According to historical records: "The Hanshui River broke out, and I rode 30 thousand soldiers to Jiangling, but the city was not pulled out." Do you see the reflection? Sun Quanchuan), and so on, it is estimated that most of the Seventh Army have followed the surrender ban. Such a large-scale surrender was almost unimaginable in the history of the Three Kingdoms War before this. From this historical data, can we imagine that Yujin was forced to surrender because he was concerned about the lives of his men and didn't want the soldiers to die in vain? The author believes that this possibility not only exists, but also is great. How much pressure it is for a general to face the lives of 30 thousand people who risk their lives on weekdays. This kind of pressure is even far greater than the pressure that Guan Yu faced when he surrendered to Cao Cao. In this case, surrender may be the only option for Yu Jin.
So why didn't Pound surrender? Is Pound really more loyal than Yu Jin? I don't think it's necessary, because even if Pound wanted to surrender, I'm afraid he didn't have that condition. We can find an example of wanting to surrender from the biography of Xian Di quoted in the biography of the Three Kingdoms Yuan Shao: Grant shouted: "If you don't surrender, the whole army will obey!" Mao pointed to something and said, "Normal universities are different, so they are used. I don't want to be a bird today! " Yun said, "It was a mistake to take Jizhou to the north. If you are mentally retarded, you should see the birds' ears. "Mao said," I didn't have a plan, so I don't need your plan. Now I'm in a mess and the country is undecided. Let's make plans. " He said, "Uncle, mother and brother, the county has ordered Yuan's home. If you are enlightened, it is a blessing to die soon. " Mao sighed, "It's too early to be alone. "
According to Ju Shou, "Uncle, aunt and brother, the county name is Yuan. If you are enlightened, it is a blessing to die quickly." In this sentence, we can find that the interests of family members or families largely determine whether a person can submit. The unyielding hand is not unwilling but unable. After Pound died in battle, "Taizu was saddened by the news and wept for it, and made his second son Liehou." After xelloss succeeded to the throne, posthumous title Pound became a strong prince and raised several sons of Pound. From the perspective of family interests alone, Pound's death is obviously worthwhile. If Pound chooses to surrender, with his background as a subordinate of Ma Chao and his cousin Pang Rou in Shu Han, it is very likely that the whole family will be punished or doomed. By contrast, if we don't care about Pound's loyalty, then Pound's death is certain.
July 8, 200915: 05 Reply 2 18.89.50 * On the second floor, we looked at the ban in turn. The relationship between Yu Jin and Cao Cao is extraordinary, and I believe Yu Jin is also very clear. Even if he surrendered, Cao Cao would not do anything to his family. In this way, Yu Jin and Pound, who are in the same flood, are faced with completely different choices. Pound has a promising future, but he wants to die, and Yu Jin has only one drop under the weight of the lives of 30 thousand soldiers.
All of the above are analyzed from the perspective of prohibition. The author thinks that we might as well look at this problem from another angle. There is another possibility: Guan Yu doesn't want to kill anyone in prohibition, but if he doesn't surrender in prohibition, he will be demoted and even have no chance to die. We can see the Three Kingdoms. A passage quoted in the biography of Guan Yu: Yu and I love each other, but they are far apart, but they are not as good as soldiers. After a while, he shook his horse and announced, "Guan Yunchang's head will be taken off and there will be a reward of 1000 pounds." Feather was startled and said, "Brother, what are you talking about?" Huang said: "This is a matter for the country."
As we all know, Guan Yu was defeated and captured, and spent some time under Cao Cao. Judging from this historical data, Guan Yu and Huang Xu have a good personal relationship. As the most famous general under Cao Cao, Yu Jin probably has a good relationship with Guan Yu. Coupled with the character of Guan Yu's kindness, it is likely that the ban will not be harmed. The author thinks this possibility is also great. After all, Guan Yu still owes Cao Cao a favor. Isn't staying in the forbidden life equal to returning the favor? Therefore, Guan Yu chose to imprison Yujin, for one thing, to repay his kindness in the future, and for another, to use Yujin's capture to blow the morale of Jun. As a result, Yujin was even more irrefutable.
In fact, Yu Jin's surrender not only helped Sun Quan objectively, but also indirectly eased Guan Yu's great threat to Cao Cao. Reflection? "The Biography of Monroe" records that Wei Shi can't save Fan, and his feathers can't be birds. There are tens of thousands of men and women under him, and they took the rice from Xiangguan because of lack of food. Hear it, and then do it right, the advance payment is in front. When I was looking for the sun, I fell among my elite soldiers, shaking my white clothes and becoming a merchant. I traveled day and night until I waited by the river and was tied up. I didn't know about it.
The surrender of Yujin and his 30,000 people caused a serious shortage of food supply for Guan Yu, so Guan Yu had to "take the official rice". Sun Quan used this excuse to attack Jingzhou and won. Not only did I not think of this, but even Guan Yu didn't realize it.
Shortly after Yu Ban was captured, Dongwu Monroe crossed the river in white and seized Jingzhou. Yu Ban fell into the hands of Sun Quan, which not only became a bargaining chip for Sun Quan to ask Cao Cao for more benefits, but also became the object of humiliation by Wu Dong ministers. Historical records recorded two fragments of Yujin in Wu Dong: Jiang Wei was captured by Yujin, tied to the city, and his power was released. Please meet him. Another day, all of them rode on the horse, led the ban in parallel, and overturned the ban, saying, "Since you have surrendered, how dare you go with my king!" If you want to resist flogging, stop it. Later, the officials of the Louchuanhui gave them the right to drink, no music and no tears. He turned over and said, "Do you want to confuse the real with the fake to avoid harm?" Power is unfair. (See Biography of the Three Kingdoms) Hou Quan and He Wei wanted to send the ban back to the north, saying, "The ban has been defeated by thousands of people. As a traitor, you cannot die. If you study military and political affairs in the north, being banned is worse than the rules. Although there is no loss, he is still a thief. It is better to kill the three armies and show people two hearts. " It is right not to listen. When the ministers sent the ban, they turned it over and said, "Don't say that there is no one in Wu, and your purpose happened to fail." Although the ban is evil, it is still full of sighs, and Wei Wendi often does nothing. (See The History of the Three Kingdoms, Wu Shu). As can be seen from these two historical materials, the life in the Forbidden City at this time is simply worse than death and is insulted. But the worst moment is still waiting for him.
After Yujin was detained in Soochow for a period of time, Sun Quan saw that Yujin was useless and sent him back to Cao Wei. When Yu Jin returned to his native land, he was already "pale and haggard". At this time, Cao Cao was dead and Xelloss came to power, but later Wei Wendi obviously had no intention of letting go. On the surface, Cao Pi comforted Yu Jin with the stories of Xun Linfu and Meng, and named him General Anyuan. He secretly sent people to paint the scene of Pound's brave and unyielding surrender to the forbidden knee when the Seventh Army was flooded on the wall of Gaoling, and sent people to worship the mausoleum. Finally let Yu Jin die of shame.
