Why did Sun Quan's grandson return to Cao Wei
During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei, Shu and Wu stood on three legs and fought fiercely with each other. If the sphere of influence of the past is placed today, the economic strength of the Soochow region must be very prominent.
However, since the economy of the South has not yet been fully developed, the geographical advantage is not obvious. In this case, five years after Sun Quan's death, his grandson couldn't wait to lead his army to Cao Wei and betray Eastern Wu.
Sun Quan, a man who still finds a backer when he is in trouble both internally and externally. His father and brother laid the foundation for him in the Southeast, but he did not waver. His ingenuity and sophistication were on display at a young age, when he became a county magistrate at the age of fifteen.
Later, in the face of power struggles, he was able to deal with them easily. He began to lead troops to fight when he was young, and his generals included Zhou Yu and others. Under his leadership, Li Shu, Huang Zu and others were eliminated one by one, stabilizing the position of Eastern Wu.
During the Triumpit period, he participated in many famous battles, and his strategic thinking is still worth thinking about today. As his power grew, he established himself as emperor, established the state of Wu, began his hegemony in the southeast, and teased his opponents many times.
But despite his wisdom, he has a "bear" grandson. When a person is alive, he can solve difficulties, but after death, he cannot interfere.
In 252, Sun Quan passed away, and his death seemed to take away the vitality of the state of Wu, and his successor, Sun Liang, was young and inexperienced, unable to rule steadily under internal and external difficulties.
The powerful ministers took the opportunity to ascend to the throne, the country fell into chaos, and the people's hearts were in turmoil. In this case, Sun Quan's grandson Quanyi planned for his future and thought of a way out in advance.
After a period of preparation, he took refuge with Cao Wei with a large army in the fifth year after his grandfather's death. Although he must have felt a lot of pain in his heart, he would not betray his grandfather's original intention if he had no other choice.
In Eastern Wu, Quan Cong's son Quan Quan once became Sun Quan's confidant, and his family background was superior, so it stands to reason that Sun Quan should not be betrayed. However, when the crown prince Sun Liang ascended the throne and Sun Qi became a powerful minister, the situation changed.
In this context, Sun Liang conspired with Princess Luban and others to get rid of Sun Qi, but in the end, the matter was revealed and they were all implicated. Quanquan chose Cao Wei in this power struggle and led the army to take refuge.
Quan Yiben has nothing to do with this matter, however, because Sun Liang and his mother Gongsun Zeng secretly harmed the ministers, the ministers will naturally be angry with the grandson. Although Quan Yi is quite influential in the court, he has to bow his head at the moment when he is a powerful minister.
As a grandson, when his grandfather was alive, he had a very high status in the court. However, feng shui took turns, and after his grandfather died, he had to bow his head and be at the mercy of his ministers. My grandfather was highly respected during his lifetime, and after his death, he had to act carefully, and this instantaneous change in status was difficult for anyone to accept.
Quan Yi is no exception, however, the whole family has a huge power in the Wu family, and for the sake of the overall situation, he chose to be patient.
Quanyi's thinking has changed dramatically. He first joined the army to assist his grandfather and lay down the family's country. Now, however, the power of the DPRK is in the hands of a powerful minister.
He obeyed the deployment and went out to fight, which was equivalent to making meritorious contributions to others, but as a general of the country, he could not disobey orders. Although he eventually obeyed, the discomfort in his heart was palpable.
This situation is not something that anyone can endure, and it is enough to prove that Quan Yi has made great determination to overcome his psychological imbalance.
Sun Liang and Princess Lu Ban's plot to get rid of the ministers was unfortunately leaked, and Sun Qi was furious, but he couldn't act immediately due to identity restrictions. He instead deposed Sun Liang from the throne and degraded the princess Luban.
coincided with a rebellion in Cao Wei and asked Wu for help, and Quan Yi was sent to fight in other places, leaving behind all his elderly mother and family members. Under the orders of the ministers, the whole family was forced to move, and it was not until Quan Yi returned that he learned about it.
Quan Yi's behavior of attacking the whole family made Quan Yi feel deeply in danger, and he immediately took his mother and family to Cao Wei, hoping to get better protection.
During the reign of the ministers, Quan Yi was forced to flee because his mother and Sun Liang planned to assassinate him. While it wasn't a glorious thing, it was the only option he could have in that case.
He is convinced that even if the other party is his mother, he will not have any pity in the face of **his own **. Therefore, he took his family and troops to Cao Cao to show his sincerity.
After all, Sun Quan's grandson didn't want to see his grandfather's hard-earned country fall into the hands of others. And he didn't want to get this piece of country himself, so he chose to give it to others.
While it wasn't the best outcome, it was the best he could do in this day and age.
In the era of the three-legged stand, if Quan Yi surrendered his troops to Cao Wei, then the strength of Wu would be weakened. This is a good opportunity to eliminate the minister, he is undoubtedly a vicious person, if he can't get it, then no one else can think of it.
At that time, his choice to take refuge in Cao Wei was also a helpless choice, after all, Sun Liang had been abolished, and their former right-hand men did not end well. This is the way out he has found for himself, if he still stays in the state of Wu, he will never be able to be reused, but will need to suppress his anger all the time.
Instead of living like this, it is better to leave with the troops. With the "stepping stone" of the army, Cao Wei will definitely not treat him badly. Even if Cao Wei does not accept his surrender and takes his own army, there will definitely be a way out.
Therefore, it was a wise decision for him to leave Wu with the army at that time.
As it turned out, it was wise for Quan Yi to lead the army away in the first place. He was treated very well in Wei and his family's life was guaranteed. Therefore, he is not deviant, but out of the big picture, looking for a way out for the whole family.
After all, with the powerful ministers in power, staying in the state of Wu will only wait for death, so it is better to take a risk.
