The defeat of the war is not terrible. Terrible is that when faced with defeat, the defeated generals will inevitably face the problem of surrender or failure, which is not only related to life, but also a test of the generals' personality.
Of course, during the Three Kingdoms period, there were loyal ministers like Guan Yu and villains like Lu Bu. Sometimes, in order to survive, or to yield to a wise God, surrender is not uncommon.
For example, General Huang Zhong, one of the five tiger generals, surrendered, but was won by Corporal Liu Bei and Li Xian, and surrendered gloriously.
Another example is Guan Yu, whose name has gone down in history. Captured by Cao Cao, he was once surrendered by Zhang Liao. Cao Cao didn't mistreat him either. He sent wine and beautiful women. He also wanted to appease Guan Yu with a high rank for his use. Although Guan Yu devoted himself to the Han Dynasty, he finally did not promise Cao Cao's high officials, but it is undeniable that Cao Cao is a real treasure to Guan Yu.
During the Three Kingdoms period, many people were very talented, such as Liu Bei's three visits to Mao Lu and Sun Quan's mentor Lu Su. As long as talented people, especially generals who have the ability to lead troops, even if they surrender, most of them will not be exterminated, and they all want to take them under their command, but there is a special case, that is, they are forbidden.
Yu Jin was originally a subordinate of Cao Cao. He made great achievements in eliminating the remnants of the Yellow Scarf Army. Later, because of maintaining the authority of military law, he was praised by Cao Cao as an eternal star.
Later, he confronted Guan Yu in Xiangfan area. Guan Yu led the flood of seven armies and arrested Guan Yu.
Yu Jin is also a flexible person. Seeing that Guan Yu was a honest and upright man, he surrendered to Guan Yu and has been fighting with Guan Yu in the north.
Later, Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, and after being besieged and killed by Monroe, Yu Jin became a prisoner of Sun Quan.
