Liu Bei's two wives, Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi, can be described as ill-fated. In that kind of chaotic days, no fixed place, and wandering in the days of military difficulties, the loss of righteous soldiers like Guan Yu and Zhao Yun was able to save their lives and not be affected by the enemy's generals.

Although Mrs. Mi died in front of Zhao Yun's eyes - thrown into the well, after all, being pushed down by Zhao Yun and buried by Zhao Yun was also a good death.

Before that, Zhao Yun also rescued Mrs. Gan in the crowd.

In fact, when Guan Yu rode alone for thousands of miles and escorted the two sisters-in-law, there was still one person, so as not to humiliate the two ladies Gan and Mi.

This person is Liao Hua, who is known as "living through the entire Three Kingdoms".

Liao Hua's real name is Chun, and he has been a wealthy family in southern China for generations, and he was the Yellow Turban Army at the beginning, and he fell into the rivers and lakes because of the chaos of the world, gathering more than 500 people to loot and make a living. At that time, he met Guan Yu and wanted to follow Guan Yu, but Guan Yu was worried about his yellow scarf background, so he said goodbye.

When Liu Bei entered Yizhou, Liao Hua led the army to take refuge, and Liu Bei ordered him to help Guan Yu guard Jingzhou and serve as Guan Yu's chief bookkeeper.

In the winter of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Sun Wu attacked Jingzhou, Guan Yu was defeated and killed, and Liao Hua was also captured into Sun Wu - even if he surrendered.

However, Liao Hua missed Liu Bei, the lord of the Han Dynasty, so he cheated to death, and people believed it to be true at that time, and Liao Hua took the opportunity to take his mother to the west day and night and went to Shu Han.

In the spring of the second year of Zhang Wu (222), Liu Bei Xingbing personally led the generals to the east to conquer Sun Wu, avenged his righteous brother Guan Yu, and met Liao Hua in Zigui.

Liu Bei was very happy to see Liao Hua and appointed Liao Hua as the Taishou of Yidu County.

Subsequently, Liu Bei marched to the Xiao (猇xiāo) Pavilion in Yidao County, with Liao Hua as his other governor, and confronted the Wu army led by Lu Xun.

But in leap June of the same year, Liu Bei's army was broken by Lu Xun, and Liao Hua retreated to Shuzhong with the defeated army.

In April of the third year of Zhang Wu (223), Liu Bei died of illness in the White Emperor City.

In May, the crown prince Liu Chan ascended the throne and changed the yuan to Jianxing.

Liao Hua was promoted to prime minister to join the army, and later became the governor of Guangwu and the Taishou of Yinping County.

In the same year, when Zhuge Liang promoted Jiang Wan as Maocai, Jiang Wan insisted on giving it to Liu Yong (邕yō

g), Yinhua, Pang Yan and Liaohua.

In September of the first year of Yanxi (238), Liao Hua led his troops to attack the camp garrisoned by the Wei State Shoushan Qiang Marquis, and Guo Huai, the assassin of Wei Yongzhou, sent the Guangwei County Taishou Wang Huang (赟yū

), Nan'an County Taishou You Yi led troops to rescue, and the two armies divided their troops along the east and west sides, wanting to flank the Liao Hua army.

But at the same time, the weakness of the scattered forces was exposed, and many of the camps of the Youyi army were stationed in non-dangerous places, and Liao Hua seized the opportunity to attack and defeat Youyi, Wang Huang (赟yū

He was also killed by an arrow in the engagement.

In the eleventh year of Yanxi (248), Liangzhou Qiang Hu rebelled against Wei and surrendered, Liao Hua led the army west with Jiang Wei, built a city in Chengzhong Mountain, and stayed behind to resist Guo Huai's attack, helping Jiang Wei to welcome back Hu Wangzhi Wudai and other tribes.

In the second year, Liao Hua followed Jiang Wei to attack Yongzhou, and Jiang Wei left Liao Hua to camp on the south bank of Baishui, and confronted Deng Ai, the Wei general stationed on the north bank, in order to contain Deng Ai's army and send troops to attack Taocheng. But Deng Ai saw through it and occupied Taocheng first, so the Han army retreated with the retreat.

In June of the second year of Jingyao (259), Liao Hua was promoted to the general of the right chariot cavalry, awarded the festival charm, annexed the state assassin history, and sealed the township marquis. The official position is equal to Zhang Yi, and above the general of the town army, Zong Xuan.

At that time, people said: "There are Wang Ping and Jufu in the front, and Liao Hua and Zhang Yi in the back." ”

In the fourth year of Jingyao (261), the capital protector Zhuge Zhan began to lead the government, and Liao Hua passed by Zongzhen's mansion to visit him, and wanted to visit Zhuge Zhan's residence with Zongzhen.

The prophecy said, "We are over 70 years old, and we have received too much, and we only lack one death, so why do we ask our juniors to visit us? ”

So I didn't go.

In the autumn of the fifth year of Jingyao (262), Jiang Wei led the people to the northern expedition to Cao Wei, and Liao Hua said: "'If you do not restrain your soldiers, you will definitely suffer the consequences', which is what you are talking about (Jiang Weizi)." How can you survive if you are outwitted and weaker than the enemy, but you are not satisfied with the use of soldiers? The Book of Songs says, 'I was born neither early nor late, but just in time for this time', which is talking about the present. ”

Sure enough, in October of the same year, Jiang Wei was defeated by Deng Ai in Houhe and retired to garrison in Yuzhong.

In August of the sixth year of Jingyao (263), Sima Zhaoxing's troops attacked Shu Han.

The later lord Liu Chan sent Liao Hua to support Jiang Wei in Yuzhong, and Zhang Yi and Dong Ju went to Yang'an Pass as foreign aid for each siege. Liao Hua led his army north to Yinping, and when he heard that Wei had attacked Zhuge Xu towards Jianwei, he stopped and waited to observe his movements.

In September of the same year, Jiang Wei was forced by Deng Ai to retreat from Yinping and join forces with Liao Hua to rescue Yang'an Pass.

On the way, he learned that the Yang'an Pass had been conquered, and the commander of Zhonghui's army drove straight in, so he abandoned Yinping and retreated to Baishui, and then joined Dong Ju and Zhang Yijun, who had just arrived in Hanshou, and retreated to the Sword Pavilion together to resist Zhonghui's attack.

In November, Zhuge Zhan was defeated by Deng Ai in Mianzhu, and the whereabouts of the later lord Liu Chan were unknown, so Liao Hua and others followed Jiang Wei eastward into Brazil County, and retreated to the area of Guanghan County and Yu County to find out the truth and truth, and soon after, he got the edict of the surrender of the later lord Liu Chan, so he and Jiang Wei went to Fu County to surrender to Zhonghui.

In the spring of the fifth year of Jingyuan (264), Liao Hua migrated inward to Luoyang with Zongpre, and died of illness halfway.

Liao Hua should have been between seventy-four and eighty-three years old at the time of his death.

Judging from Liao Hua's resume, his background is not very good (Yellow Turban Army), and his martial arts are not very strong, but he is reused everywhere, from Liu Bei to Liu Chan, the later master, they all regard him as a character.

There is a saying after the break, "There is no general in Shu, and Liao is a pioneer", which refers to the lack of good hands in handling affairs, and letting people with average ability come out to be responsible.

In fact, Liao Hua has been a pioneer several times, and he is precisely a general, but why do the Liu family father and son trust Liao Hua so much?

The reason is that when he was the king of the mountain, he robbed Liu Bei's two ladies, Gan and Mi, and avoided insulting them.

It turned out that there was another person among the leaders who occupied the mountain with Liao Hua, named Du Yuan, who was also the general of the Yellow Turban Army.

Liao Hua asked the root cause, only to know that it was the wife of the emperor's uncle Liu Bei, so he worshiped (if not, what would he do?) ), did not agree to share the food, and wanted to send it back, Du Yuan did not obey, and was beheaded by Liao Hua with his sword.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not very long about this paragraph, record it and revisit it:

Don't say that Cao Cao returned himself. Let's say that Guan Gong came to catch the car. He traveled about thirty miles, but he was not seen. Yun Chang panicked, and looked for it in all directions. Suddenly, he saw a person on the top of the mountain and shouted: "General Guan, stop!" Yun Chang raised his eyes and saw a young man, dressed in yellow scarf brocade, holding a gun and straddle a horse, with a head hanging under the horse, leading more than 100 foot soldiers to gallop forward. The public asked, "Who are you?" The boy dismounted with his gun and fell to the ground. Yun Chang was afraid that it was a fraud, so Le Ma held a knife and asked: "Strong man, I am willing to know your name." He replied: "I am a native of Xiangyang, surnamed Liao, famous, and frugal." Due to the chaos of the world, more than 500 people gathered to loot for a living. Just then, his companion Du Yuan went down the mountain to patrol the sentry and mistakenly plundered the two ladies up the mountain. I asked the servant, and I knew that it was the wife of Uncle Liu Huang of the Han Dynasty, and I heard that the general was escorted here, so I wanted to send him down the mountain. Du Yuan was disrespectful and was killed by someone. Today, I will offer my head and ask the general for my guilt. Guan Gong said: "Where is the second lady?" Hua said: "Now in the mountains." "Guan Gongjiao hurriedly took down the mountain. When he didn't move, more than 100 people came in a crowd. Guan Gong dismounted and stopped his knife, and the fork hand greeted in front of the car: "Is the second sister-in-law frightened?" The second lady said: "If it weren't for General Liao's protection, he would have been humiliated by Du Yuan." Guan Gong asked left and right: "How can Liao Hua save his wife?" Left and right said: "When Du Yuanzai goes up the mountain, he will share one person with Liao Hua as his wife." Liao Hua asked the root cause, and he was a good student to pay respect, but Du Yuan did not obey and was killed by Liao Hua. "Guan Gong listened to the words, and he was grateful to Xie Liaohua. Liao Hua wanted to send Guan Gong with his subordinates. Guan Gong thought that this person was the remnant of the Yellow Turban after all, and he could not be a companion, so he thanked him.
