After Liu Chan surrendered, Guan Yu's family was wiped out. Why are Zhang Fei's descendants safe and sound?

We can see a record in the history books that after Cao Wei destroyed Shu, Pang Hui, the son of Pound, took advantage of Shu to destroy Guan Yu. But also, I didn't see Zhang Fei's family destroyed. Then, both of them are Liu Bei's right-hand men, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are called General Xiong Hu. Why are their family experiences so different?

First, the chaos caused by the demise of Shu Han.

After Si Mazhao usurped the real power of Cao Wei, in order to establish his own contribution and prepare for the next usurpation, Si Mazhao launched the war to destroy Shu. At that time, due to years of war, Shu Han had reached the point where people were in poverty. So Zhong Hui led the main force, captured Hanzhong, and suppressed the main force of Shu army led by Jiang Wei in Jiange. Wei Jun, led by Wargo, sneaked through the Yin Ping Trail and occupied Jiangyou. In the next battle, Wargo defeated the Shu army led by Zhuge Zhan in Mianzhu and approached Chengdu. Liu Chan accepted the advice of his subordinates, surrendered to Wargo, and Shu Han also perished.

After Jiang Wei surrendered to Wargo under the command of Liu Chan, he also wanted to restore Shu Han's country with a false surrender plan. He used Zhong Hui's ambition to provoke the relationship between Zhong Hui and Wargo, causing tension between them. After Wargo was arrested, Zhong Hui's plan of rebellion was destroyed by the army building, and both Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei died in the disorderly army. Out of control, Wei Jun carried out large-scale burning and looting in Chengdu and other places, and Guan Yu's family was killed by Ponzi Club in this accident.

The destruction of Guan Yu's family is the product of that climate. During Deng Ai's occupation of Chengdu, he adopted a policy of appeasement to the surrender of Shu Han. In the name of Cao Wei, he sealed the official and tied his people in Shu. Wargo said to Shu Han who surrendered, you are very lucky to meet me. If you meet a general like haing s ngor, you may all be killed. In this respect, with Wargo around, Shu is relatively safe.

By the time of the Zhong Hui, Wargo had the ambition of rebellion and wanted to use the power of the monarch and subjects of Shu. Coupled with Jiang Wei's operation in China and his attempt to restore the country, there will certainly be no burning, killing and looting. Unfortunately, however, Jiang Wei's plan failed, and both Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei were killed in the accident. Wei Jun, who was out of control, took the opportunity to burn, kill and plunder, while the generals at that time did not suffer the fate of Wargo and Zhong Hui or control their subordinates in order to avoid suspicion. What's more, Wei Guan, the leader, deliberately added fuel to the fire in order to crack down on the forces, resulting in the massacre of the surrendered officials.

Guan Yu's family was killed in this uprising, and Pang Hui, the son of Pound, was the chief culprit in directing the massacre. In the battle of Xiangfan, Guan Yu flooded the seventh army and captured Pound alive. In the case of unsuccessful surrender, Guan Yu killed Pound. This time, in order to avenge his father, Pang Hui killed Guan Yu's family. In contrast, Zhang Fei's family was not killed. Why is this?

Second, the reason why Zhang Fei's family is safe and sound.

Zhang Fei's family was not killed because of his family's status. First of all, Zhang Fei's wife belongs to Xiahou family, and is a family with Cao Wei's royal family. According to historical records, Zhang Fei's wife is Xia's niece, who was bought by Zhang Fei when she went out and became Zhang Fei's wife. Therefore, all the descendants of Zhang Fei have the royal blood of Cao Wei. At that time, although Cao Wei was in power by Si Mazhao, it was still Cao Wei's world. Zhang Fei's Cao Wei royal lineage naturally protects his descendants.

Secondly, Zhang Fei's two daughters became the queens of Liu Chan. Although Liu Chan surrendered, he still played a certain political role. Cao Wei should appease the people in Shu by giving preferential treatment to Liu Chan, and at the same time publicize the Soochow that still exists, so as to prepare for the next step of pacifying Soochow.

Third, although Zhang Fei is a general under Liu Bei, he is aboveboard in fighting his opponents, which is related to Zhang Fei's character. Zhang Fei loves to respect gentlemen, which has been recognized by everyone. He released Yan Yan, moved the Shu soldiers, and made him invincible in pacifying the Shu war.

In order to have a good relationship with Liu Ba, Zhang Fei personally brought bedding to the door and asked to stay overnight. Although Liu Ba ignored Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei was angry and didn't retaliate against Liu Ba. This matter once caused controversy in the world, and everyone thought that Liu Ba had gone too far. However, the corresponding Zhang Fei has also been recognized by everyone and won everyone's praise. This naturally adds protection to Zhang Fei's family.

Third, the reason why Guan Yu's family was killed.

Compared with Zhang Fei, Guan Yu's disaster has several unfavorable reasons. First of all, Guan Yu has a high reputation in Liu Bei's camp, but in Cao Wei's camp, his views on Guan Yu vary from person to person. Although Guan Yu was praised by Cao Cao, he was also envied by most people.

Guan Yu was in Cao Ying, but his heart was in the Han Dynasty, which made many soldiers in Cao Ying have different opinions about him. When Guan Yu left, many generals demanded pursuit because Cao Cao stopped him. This bad reputation also had a bad influence on Guan Yu's descendants.

Secondly, Guan Yu's failure in Jingzhou caused the loss of Liu Bei's career, and also affected the position of Guan Yu's family in the Shu and Han regimes. Although the reasons for losing Jingzhou are complicated, Guan Yu, as the commander in chief of Jingzhou, is directly responsible for losing Jingzhou. In addition, Guan Yu was kind to soldiers, arrogant to literati, and had bad relations with generals of Cao Ying and Liu Bei. In Cao Cao's camp, Guan Yu had only two friends, Zhang Liao and Huang Xu. However, Zhang Liao reported to Cao Cao that Guan Yu wanted to leave, and Huang Xu fought Guan Yu at the front line of Fancheng and offered a reward for Guan Yu's head.

Not to mention the Liu Bei camp, Guan Yu basically offended Liu Bei's men. In the battle of Xiangfan, Liu Feng and Shang Yong Mengda were invited to help, but they were all rejected. When Lv Meng crossed the river in white to attack Jingzhou, the commander of Jingzhou garrison had no intention of resisting and surrendered to Soochow, resulting in Guan Yu's defeat and death.

In the battle of Yiling, Shu Han was defeated again, and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei also died indirectly in this failed battle. The whole situation of Shu Han is also in jeopardy. All this made the monarchs and ministers of Shu Han have a lot of complaints about Guan Yu. This is why Guan Yu was made queen.

In this way, the Guan Yu family, whose relationship between Cao Wei and Shu Han is not good, naturally has no one to speak for him and protect his family when there is danger.

The last reason is that Guan Yu mishandled the Pound issue, killing prisoners was ominous, and Pound's son was narrow-minded, which led to extinction. Guan Yu's main opponent in the battle of Xiangfan was Pound. In order to repay Cao Cao's kindness, Pound fought bravely in the front line of Xiangfan, and once shot Guan Yu in the forehead with an arrow. Guan Yu's men were called General White Horse because Pound rode a white horse, and they were very jealous of Pound.

The seventh army was flooded, and Guan Yu captured Pound. Guan Yu's original intention was to accept Pound as his subordinate, so he personally persuaded Pound to surrender. But because Guan Yu was arrogant, a word angered Pound. He said, your brother is now in Hanzhong, and I want to use you as my general. What will you do if you don't surrender earlier? Pound was very angry with Guan Yu's words, and Guan Yu finally killed Pound.

We watched Guan Yu persuade Pound to surrender. He put it on a high shelf. Look at what he said to Pound, it seems that Pound's surrender has given him great face. Not to mention pounds, even desperate people can't stand it. Guan Yu's failure to surrender not only lost a general, but also laid a curse for himself.

Since ancient times, there has been an ominous saying about killing prisoners. This is because it is morally difficult to persuade people to slaughter prisoners who cannot resist. Pound, who was captured by Guan Yu at that time, was the general of the other side. He should send Pound to see Liu Bei and listen to Liu Bei. But he acted arbitrarily and killed Pound without authorization, which made him wrong and dissatisfied with Pound's descendants.

To make matters worse for Guan Yu, GBP is not the kind of person who is broad-minded. Pound killed his sister-in-law because she treated him badly, regardless of family relations. It is conceivable that a family with such a personality must be very vindictive. If Guan Yu handles Pound properly, he will either surrender Pound or send him to see Liu Bei, and these enmities will not be concentrated on Guan Yu. However, in order to show his authority, Guan Yu beheaded Pound at will, turning national hatred into personal anger. Since then, Guan Yu's family has become the sworn enemies of Pound's descendants.

Therefore, after the death of Shu Han, when Zhong Hui and Wargo were striving for success, Pang Hui took advantage of the vacuum period when power was out of control to slaughter Guan Yu's family and avenge himself.

Conclusion:

The different experiences of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's family after the demise of Shu Han ruled out the factors of their royalty and national interests, and the biggest factor was their different personalities. Zhang Feili respects a gentleman, regardless of smaller people. Guan Yu was kind to the foot soldiers and arrogant to the literati. This difference in personality has brought about differences in life and also caused differences between the two sides.

Although Zhang Fei was killed by his subordinates, his good reputation of being respectful to gentlemen also affected his family. In addition, his relationship with Cao Wei and Shu Han royal family became the security guarantee of his family. Guan Yu, because of his pride among literati, was not welcomed by everyone. In particular, his blunder in dealing with Pound's capture brought disaster to his descendants.

Character determines fate. Judging from the fate of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, personality not only determines their own fate, but also determines the fate of their children and grandchildren. Therefore, in life, we must treat people with humility and caution.
