Many stories in Romance of the Three Kingdoms are familiar to everyone, and some heroic images portrayed in them are also impressive. Among them, naturally, Guan Yu, the "Master Guan" revered by later generations, is indispensable. On the other hand, there is another event that sounds very dignified, and that is "warm wine to chop Hua Xiong". However, in real history, although Hua Xiong was killed by others, it was not Guan Yu who killed him. So, who killed Hua Xiong?
1. Hua Xiong
Hua Xiong's birth time is unknown, and his death time is 19 1. This man is the commander-in-chief under Dong Zhuo's account, and he is brave and good at fighting. However, when the governors from all walks of life jointly crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian was not only a Changsha satrap, he was brave and good at fighting, and became the first person to break Dong Zhuojun. Hua Xiong was also killed in this battle. In the romance novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the plot was changed and killed by Guan Yu.
Hua Xiong's name has also been disputed by later generations. In the reflection, his name was written as Hua Xiong, while in Guang Yun, people thought it should be Ye Xiong, a surname. There are also many echoes for this name. Zhao Youwen recorded in Tongzhi that he supported this statement. In Zi Lu Zhu, he also wrote "Ye Xiong, a surname". Now, Professor Wu Jinhua has his own opinion. He thinks it is because of the influence of novels since Yuan Dynasty that Ye Xiong was renamed as Hua Xiong after Song Dynasty. Therefore, if we call him Hua Xiong now, it is a wrong name, and it is a false name divorced from historical figures.
And why is Hua Xiong known to future generations? He is just a military commander under Dong Zhuo's account. His martial arts is not severe in that society, and he doesn't appear many times in novels, but he is well known. That's because the allusion of "warm wine to chop Hua Xiong" made Hua Xiong famous.
2. Who hacked Hua Xiong for "Warm Wine Hua Xiong" in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is the first thing that happened since Guan Yu was born. Therefore, whether out of the understanding of the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms or through movies and TV series, it is generally believed that Dong Zhuo was responsible for Guan Yu's killing of Hua Xiong in the Three Kingdoms period. However, romance is romance after all, and the author's personal subjective factors are added for fun. Actually, Guan Yu didn't kill Hua Xiong.
According to historical records, in the first month of the first year of Chuping (A.D. 190), the prefect of Kanto launched a crusade against Dong Zhuo, pushing Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai Sea, as an ally. At that time, Gongsun Zan was still in Youzhou and didn't come to meet him. Liu Bei is not attached to Gongsun Zan at this moment, so he can't come with Gongsun Zan. When states and counties began to beg Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei was still the secret county magistrate and magistrate of Gaotang, but he was not in the front line outside Luoyang, and Guan Yu could not have appeared there to behead Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong's beheading was recorded in the history books. But it was not Guan Yu who beheaded Hua Xiong, but Sun Jian.
When Guandong County rose up against Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian also rose up and fought from northern Hunan to Luyang and Yuan Shu. At that time, the allied forces stationed outside Luoyang were afraid of Dong Zhuo and wanted to preserve their strength. They are afraid to March and take a wait-and-see attitude. Only Cao Cao, Sun Jian and Wang Kuang, the satrap of Hanoi, fought against Dong Zhuo's army.
Hua Xiong appeared in the Battle of Yang Ren, when Sun Jian gathered scattered soldiers and entered Yang Ren in the west of Tunliang County. Dong Zhuo sent generals Hu Zhen, Lu Bu and Hua Xiong to attack Sun Jian. Lu Bu is at odds with Hu Zhen, who is really the boss. Lu bu deliberately made trouble. Make the army panic, foot soldiers scattered. Sun Jian led the army in pursuit, Hu Zhen, Lu Bu and Hua Xiong were defeated, and Sun Jian led the troops to behead Hua Xiong.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms described Hua Xiong so miserably, just to set off Guan Yu. But Hua Xiong's beheading has nothing to do with Guan Yu. Originally, Sun Jian beheaded Hua Xiong, but The Romance of the Three Kingdoms transplanted the meritorious military service to Guan Yu. It is unfair to Sun Jian to write Sun Jian as a defeated soldier under Hua Xiong.
