Chapter 968: Grain Transporter Fu Shiren

After knowing that Guan Yu's baggage team would begin to transport from the Meridian Valley to the south in the next two days, Liu Zheng immediately ordered Huang Zhong to start preparing.

They said they were ready, but they were already ready.

Huang Zhong has many elite soldiers and strong generals, and Huang Zhong is also Liu Zheng's most trusted general, with Li Dian and Le Jin under his command, two generals who originally belonged to Cao's army.

Now these two are Huang Zhong's left arm and right arm.

The shooter battalion trained by Huang Zhong, these two are also good at shooting, and for Huang Zhong, they are good lieutenants.

This time, the heavy task of attacking Guan Yu's army, Liu Zheng planned to let Huang Zhong personally bring his men and horses over.

Only Liu Zheng was left to lead a part of the men and horses to garrison the old camp here.

For this, Huang Zhong naturally did not have any intention of refusing, after all, this matter is very important, and it is the key to Liu Zheng's strategy Hanzhong, as long as this matter is successful.

The battle of Hanzhong was much simpler for Liu Zheng.

After receiving Liu Zheng's order, Huang Zhong led Li Dianle and the two generals to go directly to the grain road of the Meridian Valley the next day.

Although they didn't know exactly which route was used to transport the grain, there were spies who had set up ahead in advance and would let them know if they had the slightest news.

If it's close, you'll be able to react quickly.

Two days later.

In a deep mountain canyon dozens of miles outside Xicheng County.

A food delivery team appeared here.

The one at the head is a small general.

Wearing a suit of armor, his status is not low at first glance.

There were some baggage trucks behind him one after another, and there were two teams of soldiers next to the baggage trucks.

The number of people is not particularly large, but at first glance, it is at least more than 2,000 people.

These people are the soldiers and horses dispatched by Guan Yu to supervise the transportation of grain and grass.

The person at the head is called Fu Shiren.

is Guan Yu's next general.

Guan Yu is the most trusted general under Liu Bei, and there will naturally be many elite soldiers and strong generals under him, including Zhang Xiu, Yan Xing, who later defected to Liu Bei, as well as Fu Shiren, Liao Hua and others who followed Liu Bei at the earliest.

And this Fu Shiren is an old man who followed Liu Bei very early, Fu Shiren is a native of Youzhou, and when Liu Bei and Guan Yu and others raised troops, they were also in Youzhou.

Fu Shiren followed Liu Bei at that time, had qualifications, and followed him for a long time, so he was deeply valued by Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others.

Fu Shiren's personal martial arts are not high, and he has no special talents, so it is not his turn to go into battle to kill the enemy, but people make the best use of their talents and make the best use of things, Guan Yu knows that Fu Shiren does not have the ability to fight in battle, so it is also a good arrangement to send him to supervise the transportation of grain and grass.

It's just that it is worth saying that in history, the reason why Guan Yu died and was crossed by Lu Meng in white has a lot to do with this Fu Shiren.

A.D. 219 was the most glorious year of Guan Yu's life, because in this year, his eldest brother Liu Bei established himself as the king of Hanzhong, not only worshipped him as a former general, but also gave him the power of fake Jieyue, making him the highest-ranking military general under Liu Bei.

In the same year, he sent troops to Xiangfan, not only besieged Cao Ren, a famous general of Cao Wei, but also flooded the Seventh Army and forced the landing of Yu Ban, the highest status among the five good generals; The famous general Pang De of Xiliang, even if he was shot in the forehead, could not avoid the doom of being captured.

So Guan Yu shocked Huaxia, and even Cao Cao was so frightened that he almost moved the capital.

However, the good times did not last long, not long after, Guan Yu was attacked by Jiangdong in the rear, and the front line was also lost because of the famous general Xu Huang, he had no city to defend, no way to retreat, no one to support, and finally was captured and killed by Ma Zhong, a nobody, for his life, hurriedly drew an imperfect end.

Speaking of Guan Yu's death, some people think that it was because Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang did not save him when they saw death; Some people think that it is because Guan Yu made enemies on both sides, and he took the blame; Some people think that it was because Jiang Dong betrayed his allies and stabbed him in the back, but more people still think that Guan Yu fell into such a desperate situation, mainly because of the betrayal of Mi Fang and Fu Shiren.

Then why did Mi Fang and Fu Shiren betray?

Historically, no correct conclusion has been given, but according to some more realistic inferences, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren's betrayal is likely to be due to corruption.

This is very credible.

Let's take a new look at the identities of Mi Fang and Fu Shiren.

Mi Fang, needless to say, Mrs. Mi's brother, Liu Bei's brother-in-law, in the early years, the Mi family funded Liu Bei with the strength of the whole family, and later Liu Bei also reciprocated the favor and gave the Mi family a very heavy return.

With such an identity, the people of the Mi family were tied to Liu Bei's boat because they were tied to death, and Fu Shiren began to follow Liu Bei from Youzhou, and he was more than ten or twenty years before and after.

There is no merit, there is hard work, no matter how you look at it, they are all old friends, and from the perspective of relationship alone, neither of them has any reason to surrender.

"Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" recorded: "Yu Zhi went out of the army, Fang and Ren supplied military funds, and they didn't know how to save each other, Yu Yan 'should still be governed', Fang and Ren were afraid and uneasy." So the power of yin seduces Fang and benevolence, and Fang and benevolence make people welcome power. ”

However, from some details, we can see that Guan Yu governs the army strictly, disgusted with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren, as the generals of the town guarding the side, were responsible for Guan Yu's grain and grass when Guan Yu went on the expedition, but these two people could not meet Guan Yu because of the lack of food.

Guan Yu then sent a letter saying that he would punish them when he came back.

Because they were afraid of Guan Yu's pursuit, the two who were already worried happened to catch up with Lu Meng to sneak attack and were besieged in Jiangling, and they could only choose to surrender.

Otherwise, when Guan Yu is investigated afterwards, the two of them will definitely be unable to escape death.

If you die left and right, surrender will become the only way to live.

It can be seen that Mi Fang and Fu Shiren are both villains who only think about themselves.

Compared with the descendants of the Liu family, who would rather die in battle and lose their society, they are indeed too spineless.

Of course, history belongs to history, and Fu Shiren at this time is still a member of Guan Yu's most important general.

Responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass in this meridian valley, he has been running back and forth several times on the route from Chang'an City to this Chenggu.

These days, I know a lot about the environment here.

After walking more, Fu Shiren's vigilance is not so cautious.

Passing by the mouth of a valley, Fu Shiren's lieutenant gradually walked up from the rear of the team.

quickly came to Fu Shiren's side.

"General, the front is the boundary of Xicheng, this is already Liu Zheng's territory, we must be careful here, in case the traces are exposed and detected by Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, then we will be bad."

The adjutant general felt the need to remind Fu Shiren.
