Cao Cao saw that Guan Yu had made up his mind to go, so he had to come to see me off. Since Cao Cao has agreed to leave Guan Yu, why does Guan Yu want it? Go through five customs and cut six generals? And then what? Why does the one-way route of thousands of miles also make future generations feel wonderful? Today, I will take you to explore the historical truth.
Guan Yu was a winner when he left the treacherous Cao Cao and escaped from the shadow of Cao Cao, and won the reputation of loyal minister and righteous man. Cao Cao didn't lose either. Don't think that Cao Cao was generous enough to let Guan Yu go. After all, Cao Cao is a treacherous man. He didn't send Guan Yu a document pass. So there is? Go through five customs and cut six generals? Cao Cao's purpose is to let Guan Yu retreat. Did Guan Yu really kill so many people when he returned to Liu Bei, and walked so many ways?
Guan Gong went through five levels and beheaded six generals.
At this time, Guan Yu was in Guandu and Liu Bei was near Xudu, making a big circle according to the map. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms says that Guan Yu started from Xuchang, but it is impossible to go so far. 100 km distance, bypassing thousands of miles.
According to real historical records, Guan Yu surrendered to Cao Cao in the first month of the fifth year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Leave Cao Cao in February. Guan Yu stayed in Cao Cao's camp for less than two months. After beheading Yan Liang, Guan Yu ran back to Liu Bei.
The reflection-the biography of Guan Yu? Die for Liu Bei? The History of the Three Kingdoms records how Guan Yu went back in just four words. Die for Liu Bei? It's simple. We don't know exactly how to get back. It seems that the return to China went smoothly, and there is nothing important for historians to write about. And there's no such thing as going through five hurdles and cutting six generals? This matter.
Then why is the romance of the Three Kingdoms written like this? I think this series of stories just constitute the essence of Guan Gong's loyal life. Are Liu Bei and Guan Yu thousands of miles apart?
According to? White horse station? After that, Yuan Shao had crossed the Yellow River to prepare for a decisive battle with Cao Cao. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are near Guandu, so should Guan Yu. The battle of Guandu hasn't started yet, because the Yellow Scarf Army responded to Yuan Shao's orders and wanted to fight Cao Cao. Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei to coordinate the Yellow Scarf Army and attack Cao Cao's lair, Xudu. Liu Bei should be near Xudu at this time. It is said in the novel that it starts from Xuchang, and there is no detour from Xuchang to Baima 1000 Li.
