Xiaoshan village found a "Guan Yu Family Tree", and the experts shouted after reading it: Chen Shou deceived us
Introduction: The most proud warrior in the Three Kingdoms period was Guan Yu, who knew Liu Bei and Zhang Fei when selling dates, and the three of them had the same ambitions so they married as brothers, and since then, the battle achievements obtained by eating and sleeping together have also been equally divided among the three people. Later, Guan Yu beheaded Hua Xiong at the Battle of Hu prison pass, Liu Bei was defeated and ran away when he was in charge of Xuzhou, and Guan Yu was captured by Cao Cao. Cao Cao originally thought that he could take the high-ranking official Houlu to recruit Guan Yu, but Guan Yu and him agreed to the three chapters of the law, promising to help Cao Cao complete the task as a reward, but afterwards he wanted to return to Liu Bei's side. After Cao Cao agreed to this request, there was a story of slashing the face of Liang Liang and Wen Ugly, and the follow-up also staged a thousand-mile single ride of the popular population. However, when Guan Yu was defending Jingzhou, he was betrayed by his subordinates, resulting in the defeat and death of his soldiers, and after the fall of Shu Han, their family was also slaughtered. Hyundai found a "Guan Yu Family Tree" in a small mountain village, and the content of it made experts lament that Chen Shou had deceived us! What the hell is going on? Let's see for sure.
Originally, according to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" compiled by Chen Shou, when Guan Yu was defeated, he fled Maicheng with his eldest son Guan Ping and more than a dozen of his own soldiers, but because Shangyong was too defensive Liu Feng to rescue, they were captured and killed by Eastern Wu. Later, Shu Han was destroyed, and there was a Wei general named Pang Hui, whose father Pang De was defeated and killed by Guan Yu, and in order to avenge his power, he slaughtered Guan Yu's son Guan Xing and his family, and then took the treasure of the Guan family for himself, and Guan Yu was exterminated.
However, this genealogy records that this is not the case, it was cultivated during the Kangxi period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which details the deeds of Guan Yu and his descendants. It is mentioned in the book that Guan Yu had three sons, the eldest son Guan Ping and he were slaughtered after the defeat of Maicheng, and the other two sons, Guan Xing and Guan Suo, had been settling in Shuzhong. After Liu Chan surrendered to Deng Ai, the descendants of the Guan family also surrendered, but when Pang hui slaughtered, Guan Xing's descendants sneaked away with several people in the family, because they were worried about being liquidated, so they have been living in anonymity.
The genealogy also writes that because the subsequent dynasties have been in war, their bloodline has also been migrating, until 400 years ago they ran to Dengzhou, saw the fertile land here and settled here, which has been passed down for more than ten generations, and now there is this village. There is also a Guan Yu memorial pavilion built in the local area, and whenever a young man and a woman in the village get married, they must burn incense in the pavilion the night before the wedding to worship the ancestors.
Many people once questioned the origin of this genealogy, and also suspected that they were speculating, and later archaeologists intervened and found that this genealogy was repaired by the Qing Dynasty according to the ming dynasty, and the ming dynasty's actual genealogy was also written before their dynasty. The concept of the door valve in that era was serious, the family's affairs could not go wrong, and the credibility was very high. Moreover, the genealogy also records that Guan Yu's grandfather was once a counselor of the Han Dynasty, and also records the life deeds of Guan Yu's father and his wives Hu Shi and Guan Yu, which are the chapters of the Three Kingdoms that have been erased, and experts also say that Chen Shou deceived us.
Conclusion: Ancient rulers have always followed the idea of "cutting the grass and removing the roots", the victorious side will always slaughter the losing side, Pang will slaughter the Guan family is such a reason, Sima Shi slaughtered the Cao family is also this reason, Liu Yu slaughtered Sima Shi is also this reason. But such a simple and crude method will naturally be resisted, and there are countless examples of incognito. Guan Yu's influence in that era was extremely high, and his contribution to the Shu Han was also very large, and the descendants of the Guan family could do it if they wanted to live in anonymity.
