There were many major battles in the Three Kingdoms, of which three were the most important, one was the Battle of Guandu, after which Cao Cao pacified the north; second, the Battle of Chibi, after which the three-legged situation was initially formed; third, the Battle of Yiling, after which the three-legged situation was completely stable. But in fact, the battle that basically delineated the territory of the three kingdoms was not about these three battles, but about the Northern Expedition against Xiangfan.
Twenty-four years after Jian'an, Guan Yu led an army to attack Fancheng, the Battle of Xiangfan broke out, at the beginning of this battle, Guan Yu attacked fiercely, and the general of Fancheng, Cao Wei's general Cao Ren, was besieged and killed in Fancheng, Cao Cao was horrified after hearing this, and sent Yu Ban, the head of the five sons of Liang, to rescue him, but he did not expect that Guan Yu actually flooded the Seventh Army with water, and after this battle, He shocked Huaxia, and Cao Cao was also afraid, and almost moved the capital to avoid the front.
But what no one expected was that the situation suddenly came to a big reversal, Cao Cao and Sun Quan actually formed an alliance, the former Eastern Wu allies became enemies, Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to sneak attack Jingzhou, the soldiers disguised as civilians dressed in white to cross the river, successfully occupied Jingzhou, Guan Yu did not even have a way to retreat, there were wolves and tigers, there was nowhere to go, and finally unfortunately defeated and captured under Maicheng, heroic sacrifice.
Then we all know that Sun Quan made a careful plan before the battle, in order to completely defeat Guan Yu, he sent a series of elite generals, so today, I will list who these generals are surnamed and who they are.
Guan Yu after learning that Jingzhou was lost, returned to the rescue, but in the middle of the road, Guan Yu was ambushed by the Eastern Wu army, first and Guan Yu passed the move of Jiang Qin, Jiang Qin, as one of the twelve tiger ministers in Jiangdong natural strength is not bad, as a general of Eastern Wu, he only fought with Guan Yu for less than three rounds before losing completely, Guan Yu was angry, just such a garbage general also dared to ambush me, I have to chase you, so Guan Yu chased Jiang Qin for more than twenty miles, and as a result, there was an ambush in the valley, Guan Yu who stood in the encirclement circle was very depressed, Guan Yu said that this is endless, Guan Yu's enemy on the left would be Han Dang, on the right was Zhou Tai, and then there was a defeated general Jiang Qin, who had just been defeated by himself, and so the three of them surrounded Guan Yu.
These three people were all Twelve Tiger Ministers of Jiangdong, and Han Dang was an early general, who had followed Sun Jian to fight the world, and was one of Sun Jian's four generals, and the other three were also famous, they were Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao. Among them, Zu Mao had the feat of sacrificing his life to save the savior, and when Sun Jian fled in defeat, he changed clothes with Sun Jian, and as a result, the injured Zu Mao was killed by Hua Xiong.
Zhou Tai came from no small head, in the Battle of Hefei there were two generals who protected Sun Quan, one dead and one wounded, it was Chen Wu who died, and it was Zhou Tai who was wounded, according to records, Zhou Tai killed red eyes in order to protect Sun Quan in that battle, desperately, he had more than ten gunshot wounds on his body, and the serious wounds could not be more serious, if it were not for the divine doctor Hua Tuo just over there, then Zhou Tai would have returned to the west.
Before Jiang Qin we said, no need to repeat, anyway, these three people, Zhou Tai Wugong is the top of Eastern Wu, the other two are also upstream, Guan Yu is not Lü Bu, even if Lü Bu beat Liu Guanzhang three he can not fight ah, so can only withdraw, in the middle of the road, there are two teams of people killed out, who? Ding Feng and Xu Sheng.
These two were also among the Twelve Tiger Ministers of Jiangdong, but they were both famous later, Ding Feng shot Zhang Liao in the ensuing war, and Xu Sheng used a pile of fences and wood to scare Cao Pi back from the south.
In short, at this time, a total of five people and horses besieged Guan Yu, and the soldiers under Guan Yu were all jingzhou people, and when they heard that their home was gone, they all ran away, and only three hundred people were left with Guan Yu's soldiers.
Heaven and earth are not on Guan Yu's side, there is no way, can only retreat to Maicheng, send Liao Hua out to send a letter for help, but the mediocre Liu Feng Mengda stood by, do not save you, is not to save you, who called you so proud before?
There was no cure, there was no reinforcement outside, there was no grain and grass inside, Guan Yu could only break through, at this time Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang came up again, Zhu Ran was easily defeated by Guan Yu, Pan Zhang could not fight the triad, and later Eastern Wu used the yin trick to trip Ma Suo to capture Guan Yu, and Guan Yu was captured.
At this point, after the statistics were completed, Guan Yu defeated Maicheng and was intercepted and killed by a total of seven generals, six of whom were Jiangdong Twelve Tiger Ministers, if you did not expect this trick, Maybe Guan Yu really succeeded in escaping, but unfortunately, the hero finally died at the hands of the rats, and had to make us readers of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms sigh.
