Guan Yu (Chinese: 羽字云長; pinyin: Jūān), also spelled Changsheng, was a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period. After his death, he was respected by the people, and after experiencing the rewards of the dynasty, he was worshipped as the Emperor of Guan Sheng, and was honored as "Guan Gong". To say that Guan Yu is indeed a great figure, because when he was alive, he was famous for his ability, and when he died, he actually let the Three Kingdoms of Wu Wei and Shu hold a funeral for him. Let's understand why the three kingdoms of Wu, Wei and Shu all held funerals for Guan Yu.
Death of Guan Yu
Some people say that Guan Yu committed suicide by himself, and some people say that Guan Yu was designed to be killed by the heads of the Three Kingdoms of Wu Wei shu, and both the suicide and the reason for his killing were inseparable from the heads of the Three Kingdoms of Wu Wei Shu.
It is said that Guan Yu committed suicide because At this time Liu Bei wanted to establish himself as king, and Guan Yu felt that he did not have the qualifications, continue to follow Liu Bei, he is a Han thief, surrender to Cao Cao, also a Han thief, surrender To Sun Quan, the same is a Han thief, self-established as king, that is even more a Han thief, he was loyal all his life, the last thing he wanted to become was a Han thief, at this time he knew that Liu Bei betrayed himself, his spiritual pillar collapsed, he chose to end his life to preserve his reputation.
It is said that Guan Yu was the head of the Three Kingdoms of Wu Wei and Shu who designed to kill because Liu Bei wanted to establish himself as king, and Guan Yu did not rely on it, then Guan Yu became a stumbling block for him; and because Guan Yu occupied Jingzhou, Jingzhou was a strategic point, and could go down the river at any time to attack Wu Guo, and he could also go north to the Central Plains at any time and attack Xuchang, so guan Yu at this time not only caused Liu Bei a headache, but also caused Sun Quan and Cao Cao a headache, so there was a saying that the heads of the three kingdoms of Wu Wei and Shu designed to kill Guan Yu.
The reason why all three kingdoms of Wu, Wei and Shu held funerals for Guan Yu.
First of all, Guan Yu's death could not be separated from the three of them, out of guilt, the three people also wanted to hold a funeral for Guan Yu.
Secondly, for Liu Bei, even if Guan Yu finally did not agree to him as king, the brotherhood of the past was still there, and he also made great contributions to the Shu state, and his official position in the Shu state was also very high, so it was reasonable that he should hold a funeral for Guan Yu; and Cao Cao was a well-known talent, he admired Guan Yu's martial arts very much, and Guan Yu and Cao Cao themselves were also related, when they first defected to Cao Cao, they killed Yan Liangwen ugly, removed two major disasters for Cao Cao, and at the Time of The Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was released after his defeat, so Cao Cao would also hold a funeral for Guan Yu for his old feelings; and Sun Quan held a funeral for Guan Yu to express his sincerity of cooperation to Liu Bei.
Finally, guan yu's own personal charm, because the heads of the three kingdoms of Wu, Wei and Shu all admired Guan Yu's loyalty. When Liu Bei's army was defeated, their three brothers were separated, Guan Yu was surrounded by Cao Cao, Cao Cao loved Guan Yu very much, so he wanted to persuade Guan Yu, and Guan Yu, in order to protect the two sisters-in-law, could only choose to surrender to Cao Cao, and agreed with Cao Cao in three chapters, the first was to surrender Han and not to Cao Cao; second, if there was news of Liu Bei, he left Cao to find Liu; the third wish was to make a great contribution to Cao Cao and repay the grace of not killing; this was unfair to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao actually agreed to it in order to truly get Guan Yu.
After that, Cao Cao was also good to Guan Yu, a small feast for three days, a big feast on five days, beautiful women, gold and silver jewelry were offered with both hands, but Guan Yu was stunned, even the new battle robe that Cao Cao gave him, he also wore the old battle robe sent by Liu Bei outside, in order to tell everyone that he did not forget the brotherhood, and later Guan Yu made a battle achievement for Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu, and got the news of Liu Bei, so he left Cao Camp with two sisters-in-law to find Liu Bei. How many people have such loyalty and righteousness, and in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was bound to die, and it was Guan Yu who let him go in order to repay his original grace of not killing, so how can such a loyal and righteous person be admired? The heads of the Three Kingdoms of Wu, Wei and Shu held a funeral for Guan Yu out of admiration.
