Guan Yu was familiar with Zuo Zhuan when he was a child. He was a bearded man. In the first year of Zhong Ping (184), Guan Yu broke the law in his hometown and fled to Zhuo Jun. I talked to Liu Bei when he was recruiting. It was very speculative and I voted for Liu Bei. Then he fought with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei to the north and south, participated in dozens of battles, and was never afraid of difficulties. Liu Bei wanders around and never complains. After Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao in the first year of Jian 'an (196), he once went hunting with Cao Cao. After the crowd dispersed, Guan Yu asked Liu Bei for permission to kill Cao Cao, but Liu Bei did not agree. In the fourth year of Jian 'an (199), Liu Bei rebelled against Cao Cao and fled to Xuzhou, where Guan Yu was guarding Xiapi City and acting as the prefect. In the fifth year of Jian 'an (200), Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei disappeared after the defeat. Guan Yu was forced to surrender to Cao to protect Liu Bei's wife. Cao Cao was very close to Guan Yu and worshipped him as a partial general. And let Zhang Liao know what Guan Yu really thinks. Guan Yu said very clearly: "I really know that Cao Gong is very kind to me, but I was once accepted by General Liu's great kindness and vowed to share life and death." This cannot be betrayed. So I'm going to find General Liu eventually, but before I go, I must make meritorious service to Tsao Gong. After Cao Cao knew it, he felt deeply that Guan Yu was very loyal and did not pursue it. Before the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shaopa sent general Yan Liang to attack Ada, the satrap of Cao Cao Baima East County, and the situation was critical. Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao and Guan Yu as pioneers to rescue them. In front, Guan Yu saw Yan Liang's general cover from a distance, that is, he rode forward and beheaded Yan Liang. Break Yan Liang. After Cao Cao knew it, in order to keep Guan Yu, Emperor Xiandi named it Hanshou Pavilion. At the end of the fifth year of Jian 'an (200), Guan Yu learned of Liu Bei's whereabouts, that is, he was rewarded, kept a book, hung it up and left. Cao Cao's ministers all advocated chasing Guan Yu, but Cao Cao said, "Everyone has his own master, so we won't chase him." 」
Guan Yu found Liu Bei in Runan and fought with Liu Bei to the north and south. In the 13th year of Jian 'an (208), after the defeat of Cao Cao in Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei, with the help of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, regained the counties in the south of the Yangtze River before Wu Dong, and Liu Bei named Guan Yu as the prefect and general of Xiangyang. In the sixteenth year of Jian 'an (2 1 1), Liu Bei went to Shu, leaving Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu guarding Jingzhou. About one year later, Zhuge Liang and others were transferred to Shu, leaving Guan Yu alone in Jingzhou.
In the spring of the twentieth year of Jian 'an, Sun Quan asked Liu Bei for Jingzhou, but failed. He sent Monroe to capture Changsha and Guiyang and besieged Zero County. In May of the same year, Liu Bei led an army of 50,000 to Jingzhou to recapture the second county, and ordered Guan Yu to lead an army of 30,000 to Yiyang. At this time, Dongwu was also ready to fight, and lured the soldiers who had been sticking to Lingling to occupy Lingling County. Wu Dong general Lu Su also came to Yiyang with a great army. When Lu Su was in Yiyang, he invited Guan Yu to meet him. Guan Yu stopped the army a hundred paces away as agreed, took only two or three followers to the meeting and left.
Since then, Soochow has always wanted to capture Jingzhou. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian 'an (2 19), Liu Bei called Wang Hanzhong and appointed Guan Yu as a former general, which was false (Jeff and Axe, when Bing Gu sent troops to conquer, the son of heaven gave the general a demonstration token). In July, Guan Yu ignored the threat of Soochow and led an army to attack Fancheng Coss. And sent people into the occupied area of Cao Wei to rebel and disturb the enemy's rear. Cao Cao sent generals to help, and Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army of Cao Wei with the help of the Han Dynasty, and was captured alive in the class, which had a great influence on China. Cao Cao plans to move the capital to avoid Guan Yu's sharpness. Sima Yi and others suggested uniting Sun Quan and asking him to attack from behind Guan Yu. Cao Cao adopted this strategy. Sun Quan sent Monroe and others to leave the army in October and told Cao Cao the attack strategy. But Dong Zhao, Cao Cao's counselor, thinks that Wu Dong's plan should be leaked out, so that Guan Yu can withdraw as soon as possible, Guan Yu and Wu Dong can also fight each other, and Cao Wei can also benefit from it. Cao Cao ordered people to write down the words and shoot an arrow at Guan. But after Guan Yu saw it, he hesitated and delayed the time.
Guan Yu's men guarded Mi Fang, the satrap of Nanjun County, and generals and scholars were usually dissatisfied with Guan Yu's contempt. Sun Quan sent people to lure the enemy deep, so they surrendered to Sun Quan. Wu Jun took the families of Shu soldiers hostage and sent troops to cooperate with Cao Jun. Before and after, the Shu army was flooded, and the Shu army was defeated.
Guan Yu retreated to Shang Yong and was controlled by the Shu army, with only a small number of followers. They worked day and night for several days and were very tired. Guan Yu approached Shu and was captured alive by Wu Jun teenager Ma Zhong. After being captured, Guan Yu refused to surrender and was killed by Soochow. He died at the age of 56.
Guan Yu lost Jingzhou for many reasons. At that time, he left his main rival, Soochow, to attack Cao Jun, and made directional and strategic mistakes. At the same time, it is related to Zhuge Liang's "Dongwu" strategy.
And Guan Yu's life, the most important friendship, oath. Since I defected to Liu Bei when I was young, I haven't changed my mind until my death. He is a typical example of benevolence and righteousness in our country.
Guan Yu is also the only god worshipped by Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and Buddhism regards him as a protector. Taoism and Confucianism regard him as a symbol of "loyalty" and respectfully call him "Guan Jun". Today, the "Guandi Temple" all over the country is still flourishing.
