Why did Wang Ping surrender to the weak Shu Han after the Hanzhong War?

During the Three Kingdoms period, many generals were loyal to more than one master. Many generals had the experience of surrendering to the enemy. Just like Cao Cao's five sons, many of them were fallen generals. But Gan Ning of Dongwu, even Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, who are unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, have had the experience of defeating the enemy.

Generally speaking, the reason why a famous soldier will surrender is because he was defeated, or he gave up the weak side and went to the strong side.

But there is one exception, and that is Wang Ping. Wang Ping: As we all know, he was a general of Shu State in the late Shu Han Dynasty. During Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, he dissuaded Ma Su from following Zhuge Liang's plan.

After Ma Su's defeat, he returned to Shu with his own songs intact. Defeat Cao Shuang's 100,000 troops when guarding Hanzhong and so on. Wang Ping was originally a descendant of Cao Cao, but after the Hanzhong War, he betrayed the powerful Cao Wei and took refuge in the weak Shu Han. Why?

Wang Ping was a human being, and later went to Luoyang to defect to Cao Cao. After Cao Cao's defeat in Hanzhong, Wang was homesick for four years and threw himself into Liu Bei's arms. As we all know, Cao Cao has many capable people. Wang Ping is obviously not the most outstanding one. Although Wang Ping knows military law, his education level is not high.

Cao Cao had too many men, so he was left out in the cold. He defected to Cao Cao and Zhihu, and only became a squad leader. But Wang Ping has lofty ideals and ambitions. So he abandoned Cao Cao and voted for Liu Bei, who was weak.

Wang Ping's position in Wei Jun was so low that no one could find him behind him. In this case, it is meaningless to go to Cao Wei, and one's talents can't be developed. So he began to turn to Liu Bei for help.

Through the overall analysis, we can draw the conclusion that Wang Ping gave up Cao Cao and defected to Liu Bei, many of which were out of helplessness and contempt. In fact, in his own heart, he may not be willing. But Shu Han gave him a chance to develop his talents, so the master didn't make a mistake!
