Mengda

Mengda

Mengda (? - 228), the word Zi Du, the original word Zi Jing, because Liu Bei's uncle named Liu Zi Jing, changed the word to avoid taboo. He was born in Fufeng County during the Three Kingdoms period. Originally under Liu Zhang, he descended to Liu Bei.

When Guan Yu surrounded Fancheng and Xiangyang, he angered Liu Bei for not sending troops to save Guan Yu, so he went to Cao Wei. After that, he tried to persuade Liu Feng to surrender. In the Wei Dynasty, he served as a general of Sanqi and Jianwu, and was granted the title of Marquis of Pingyang Pavilion. After that, he wanted to fight against Cao Wei and return to Shu Han.

Life of the characters

Back to Shu for Wei

In the early years of Jian'an, when the world was in famine, Meng Da and FA Zheng went to Shu together and attached themselves to Liu Zhang. In 211 A.D. (the 16th year of Jian'an), when Liu Bei entered Shu, Liu Zhang sent Meng Da and FA Zheng to meet Liu Bei. Liu Bei ordered him to garrison Jiangling, and after Shuping, he was the prefect of Yidu.

In 219 ad (the 24th year of Jian'an), Mengda attacked Fangling from Zigui. Kuai Qi, the governor of Fangling, was killed by Da Bing. After Fangling was captured, Liu Bei continued to attack Shangyong. He privately worried that Mengda would not be able to serve alone, so he ordered Liu Feng to command Mengda's army underwater from Hanzhong and join Mengda in Shangyong. When Guan Yu surrounded Fancheng and Xiangyang, he asked Liu Feng and Meng Da to send troops and help themselves. At that time, Guan Yu's victory was in sight, and the people of Shangyong and other places were just attached, so Liu Feng and Meng Da refused Guan Yu's request. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu's war situation soon took a sharp turn. After the defeat of Guan Yu, Meng Da was often bullied by Liu Feng for fear of being punished, and because of his discord with Liu Feng, he led more than 4000 families to surrender to Cao Wei.

After Meng Da surrendered to Cao Wei, he also hoped Liu Feng would surrender to Wei. At that time, Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, sent Xia Hou Shang du to lead Xu Huang, Meng Da and other troops to attack the three eastern counties. Meng Da wrote a letter to Liu Feng to persuade him to surrender, but Liu Feng refused. Later, as Meng Da said, Liu Feng was given a death sentence when he returned to Chengdu. Liu Feng sighed, "I regret not listening to Mencius."

Be greatly favored by the Emperor

After Meng Da surrendered to Cao Wei, he was highly valued in Cao Pi's time. He was a general of Jianwu and a general of sanqichangshi. Cao Pi also combined Fangling, Shangyong and Xicheng into a new city, and appointed him as the governor of the new city. Meng Da was friendly with Huan Jie and Xia Hou, and once attacked Liu Feng with Xia Hou Shang and Xu Huang.

To be killed again

After Cao Pi's death, both Huan Jie and Xia Hou had passed away. Meng Da was uneasy and was lured by Zhuge Liang to return to Shu Han. Meng Da had a problem with Shen Yi, the governor of Wei Xing. Shen Yi leaked Meng Da's plan. Sima Yi wrote a letter to appease Meng Da and secretly sent troops to fight against him. Mengda thought that it would take at least 30 days for Sima's troops to arrive. Therefore, when Sima Yi marched 1200 Li in eight days, Mengda's deployment was completely disrupted.

Later, Sima Yi besieged Shangyong for 16 days, and Mengda's nephew Deng Xian and his ministry Li Fu opened the city and surrendered. As a result, Sima Yi destroyed the city and killed Mengda, and passed it on to the capital.

Mengda had a son, Mengxing, who was the governor of Yidu. In the first year of Xianxi (264 AD), he was moved back to youfufeng.

Character evaluation

Liu Ye: if you have the heart to get what you want, you can't be grateful and righteous. The new city is connected with Wu and Shu. If there is any abnormality, it will be a disaster for the country.

Fei Shi: Mengda boy, he was unfaithful in the past, and then betrayed his former master. What's wrong with the book evil!

Sima Yi: in the past, the general abandoned Liu Bei and entrusted himself to the state. The state appointed the general to serve as the battlefield and the general to serve as the commander of Shu. The people of Shu are so stupid that they have to gnash their teeth at the general. Zhuge Liang wanted to break through each other, but there was no way out. What the model says is not a trivial matter. It's easy to know if it's light enough to make it public.

Yuhuan: in the first year of Yankang, more than 4000 families returned to Wei. At the beginning of Emperor Wen's reign, he became a king. When he heard about it, he was very happy. He made his noble officials have insight to observe it. He also called it "the talent of generals" or "the weapon of prime ministers". When he reached Qiao and came to see leisurely and elegant people, he was able to argue with others, and all of them belonged to the eye.

Fu Xuan: most of the commentators call it Yueyi.

Li Zhi: if Fu Shiren, Meng Da, then the anti - state thief is also beyond punishment. Those who read history must be convicted on the basis of their own circumstances before they are wronged.

Mao Zonggang: Liu Fengzhi didn't send any help, but Mengda did. But will Liu Feng's crime be regarded as Mengda's? He said, No. If Liu Zhang can carry the generals of Shu, why can't Guan Gong? I'm not responsible.
