In 219 AD, after two years of hard fighting, Liu Bei defeated the mighty Cao Cao and seized? Yizhou portal? Hanzhong. At this time, Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou, Yizhou and Hanzhong, with five generals, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, as well as Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng, whose power reached its peak.
Liu Bei was stronger than Ma Zhuang, so he decided to go further and called himself the King of Hanzhong. Liu Bei wanted to be king, but he was embarrassed to say it himself. Instead, he asked his civil servants and military commanders to jointly submit a petition to Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han Dynasty, asking him to make Liu Bei the king of Hanzhong.
how many people are on the list? According to statistics, there are as many as 12 people. Who is the head of these 12 people? Many people think it should be Guan Yu, the second-in-command of Shu and Han, but it is not. Ma Chao is ranked first, and Guan Yu is not even ranked in the top 5, but only ranked sixth. Why can't Guan Yu make the top five? Look who's in front of him.
First: Ma Chao
Ma Chao, whose name is Meng Qi, is the descendant of Ma Yuan, the general of Han Fubo, and the eldest son of Ma Teng, a valiant soldier in Xiliang. After Ma Teng became an official in Beijing, he took charge of Ma Teng's troops and became the leading warlord in Xiliang.
Later, Ma Chao was afraid that Cao Cao would annex himself, and he joined forces with Han Sui, a vassal of Guanzhong, to resist Cao Jun, so as to separate Guanzhong, but Cao Cao defeated him by deviance. After Ma Chao failed again, he attached himself to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. However, Ma Chao was frustrated in Hanzhong and voted for Liu Bei instead, and helped Liu Bei to force Liu Zhangshi down.
Because Ma Chao was born in a noble family and held a prominent position, he was appointed as the capital of the Pavilion by Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, so his joint name ranked first in the book.
Second: Xu Jing
Xu Jing, whose name is Wen Xiu, and his younger brother Xu Shao are both famous for judging people and becoming celebrities. Who can get the evaluation of these two brothers, whose value has risen and soared. If Cao Cao ever got Xu Shao? The fierce in troubled times, the capable minister of governing the world? Evaluation.
Xu Jing benefited from the invitation of Liu Zhang, a state shepherd, and became the prefecture governor in Yizhou. However, when Liu Bei surrounded Chengdu, he wanted to defect over the wall, but unfortunately he was caught by Liu Zhang. After Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, he didn't want to use Xu Jing at first, but under the persuasion of Fa Zheng, in order to decorate the facade and reuse Xu Jing, he was appointed as the long history of General Zuo. In 221 AD, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, and appointed Xu Jing as Stuart, ranking the first in name.
Third: Pang Xi
Pang Xi, a native of Henan, rescued Liu Yan's sons from Shu after his surprise attack on Chang 'an with Ma Teng, and became the leader of Dongzhou gentry of Liu Yan Group.
Pang Xi's daughter Ponzi married Liu Xun, the eldest son of Liu Zhang, and became their children's in-laws. After Liu Yan's death, Pang xi he, Zhao Yang, became a trusted official, assisting Liu Zhang and managing Shu.
after Liu Bei entered Shu, Pang Xi surrendered to Liu Bei, and the official position was left to Sima, which represented the interests of the former Yizhou faction in Liu Zhang.
Fourth: Shooting Aid
Shooting Aid is a well-known son-in-law of Qiu Huangfusong and a respected official under Liu Zhang. After he surrendered to Liu Bei, he was promoted to be a corps commander and died in office. He did nothing and was unknown.
fifth: Zhuge Liang
Zhuge Liang, nickname? Wolong? , is Liu Bei's third visit to the cottage, please come out of the mountain's strategist and chief counselor. He made a three-point strategy for the master Liu Bei, and achieved success, successfully occupying Jingzhou, Yizhou and Hanzhong. In Liu Bei Group, he is an important figure after Guan Yu and an outstanding representative of Jingzhou faction. Especially after Pang Tong died, Zhuge Liang became the first strategist around Liu Bei, and he was irreplaceable.
By analyzing the above five figures in front of Guan Yu, we can find that these two figures are in common.
firstly, the higher the ranking, the later they will join Liu Bei Group.
Ma Chao was the last one who defected to Liu Bei Group, but ranked first, followed by Xu Jing, Pang Xi and Sheyuan of Yizhou, Zhuge Liang of Jingzhou faction was the fifth, and Guan Yu, who first followed Liu Bei, could only rank sixth.
the latest talent who defected to Liu Bei is more respected by Liu Bei. This is Liu Bei's atmosphere of recruiting talents and talents, attracting many capable people to defect.
second, the higher the ranking, the less real power.
In the above table, whoever ranks the highest has more respect, but less real power. Those who defected to Liu Bei at the latest have a great reputation, but they are not trusted by Liu Bei. Liu Bei can only put these people? Raise it? Give a high status, but not real power. He gave real power to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and others who were closest to him.
Ma Chao, for example, once dominated Xiliang, and almost captured Cao Cao alive. After he surrendered to Liu Bei, he was unknown. In the second to fourth place, few people have heard of Xu Jing, Pang Xi and Sheyuan, and they did nothing after submitting to Liu Bei.
Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Fa Zheng and others, who came after them, made great contributions to Shu Han, and at the same time held the power. For example, Zhuge Liang was the prime minister of Shu Han, Guan Yu was in Jingzhou and Zhang Fei was in Langzhong.
Conclusion
Among the 12 heroes who wrote to Liu Xie, the Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, Guan Yu, the second-in-command of Shu Han Dynasty, failed to rank in the top five, and only came in sixth. His first five people were Ma Chao, Xu Jing, Pang Xi, Sheyuan and Zhuge Liang. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Guan Yu, as the closest general of master Liu Bei, holds the power, so he will not compete with those who have no real power.
