During the Three Kingdoms period, it can be said that Liu Bei’s career path was the most admirable.
However, the unfortunate thing is that Liu Bei was ultimately unable to unify the world, nor was he able to revive the Han Dynasty, and then died in Bach De Citadel after the battle of Di Lang.
There is an opinion that the root cause of Liu Bei’s defeat was due to an insider right next to him, this person was probably installed by Cao Cao or Sun Quan into the Shu Han political group to gain money.
That insider is My Phuong.
My Truc was originally Dao Khiem’s subordinate. Later when Dao Khiem died, he met and followed Liu Bei.
Whether modern or ancient, `having money can force the devil to push the millstone`.
My Truc was loyal to Liu Bei, but his younger brother was not. Even though he was Liu Bei’s brother-in-law, My Phuong was most likely Cao Cao’s spy.
After Dao Khiem’s death, Cao Cao wanted to recruit Dao Khiem’s old subordinates, and also issued decrees conferring titles on My Truc and My Phuong, but both refused.
Although she refused on the surface, only My Truc really wanted to do so, while My Phuong found it difficult to say.
Later, My Phuong always followed Liu Bei and secretly played tricks, causing Liu Bei’s career to `climb and fall`, so it is very likely that he was a spy.
Slandering Trieu Van
During the Battle of Truong Ban, Liu Bei could not withstand the power of Cao Cao’s Tiger and Leopard Cavalry team, so he had no choice but to flee, leaving behind both his wife and children.
At that time, many people thought that Trieu Van had surrendered to Cao Cao so he could survive.
Later, Trieu Van actually brought back Master Liu Thien.
Killed Quan Vu
My Phuong not only gave a bad reputation to Trieu Van but also killed Quan Vu.
When Quan Vu defended Kinh Chau, My Phuong assumed the position of Southern District Governor and guarded Giang Lang, and Si Nhan held the Cong An citadel.
In the 24th year of Kien An, Quan Vu attacked Tuong Phan and ordered My Phuong and Si Nhan to prepare private troops.
`When I return, I will punish you.`
While Guan Yu was focusing on fighting the Cao army, Eastern Wu sent La Mong to secretly attack Kinh Chau.
Faced with that unexpected turn of events, Pho Si Nhan proactively opened the gate of the police station and surrendered.
At that time, Quan Vu lost the battle and ran halfway back to find that Giang Lang and the Police had died.
If My Phuong had not surrendered to Ton Quyen, it is very likely that Quan Vu would not have died.
My Phuong’s act of betrayal at that time not only caused Thuc Han to lose Quan Vu and Kinh Chau, but also directly caused his biological brother, My Truc, to fall ill and pass away due to shame less than a year later.
Related to Truong Phi’s death
The unfortunate thing is that even Zhuge Liang was deceived, unable to see that this person was very likely Cao Cao’s spy, otherwise he could have eliminated him early, eliminating the disaster.
After Guan Yu’s death, Truong Phi became rude, got drunk and beat the soldiers.
For Liu Bei, losing Truong Phi and Quan Vu at the same time was also losing two powerful assistants.
The deaths of Guan Yu and Truong Phi also created a chain effect.
After Liu Bei died, My Phuong became a general for Dong Ngo.
