Speaking of the most famous warrior in the Three Kingdoms and the most far-reaching military general for future generations, Guan Yu would not let him. Wenjiu beheaded Huaxiong, Three YingZhan Lü Bu, beheaded Yan Liang, Xue Wen ugly, cut six generals through five levels, rode alone for thousands of miles, went to the meeting with a single knife, and even scraped bones to cure poison. His heroic deeds were constantly processed and praised by the common people, and even deified. He was also revered by Confucians as a martial saint, and to this day, many provinces in China still have the custom of worshipping Guan Gong.
However, Guan Yu was not a true immortal after all. Although he is brave in battle and skilled, he, like ordinary people, will make mistakes. In his life, there are 4 mistakes that can be said to be quite critical, and it is these 4 mistakes that led to the final defeat of Maicheng and the loss of his own life.
The first mistake is to kill someone by mistake. The fierce general who cut down the most generals during the Three Kingdoms must be Guan Yu. Needless to mention, the Yellow Turban Army's pipe core, as well as Kong Xiu, Meng Tan, Han Fu, Bian Xi, Pan Zhang, and so on, have all become guan Yu's sword ghosts. And among so many people, the one who should not be killed is Pound.
In 219 AD, the Tun army in Jingzhou was preparing for the Northern Expedition, and on the way encountered Cao Cao's main force. Guan Yu took advantage of the terrain to stage a brilliant plan to flood the Seventh Army, breaking the Cao Army and capturing all the commanders of the Cao Army at that time, Yu Ban and Pound.
Pound originally worked under Ma Chao, but later joined Zhang Lu in the Cao camp and was loyal to Cao Cao. After capturing Pound de alive, Guan Yu cherished the hero and hoped that Pound could return to the Shu Kingdom, but Pound Was a stubborn temper, not only did not follow, but broke his mouth and scolded Guan Yu. Guan Yu beheaded Pound in one breath.
Guan Yu was indeed a bit hasty in doing so, you know, at that time, Ma Chao had already returned to the Shu Kingdom, and he was the old lord of Pound. If he was asked to come forward to persuade Pound to surrender, it was estimated that there was a 90% certainty, so that the Shu state would add another fierce general. However, Guan Yu killed him and wasted a talent.
It is worth mentioning that after the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty, Pang De's son Pang Hui followed Deng Ai into Chengdu, in order to avenge his father, Pang would kill more than 200 members of the Guan family, if it were not for the grandson Guan Tong's luck to escape, the Guan family would suffer the disaster of extinction.
The second mistake is to misplace one person. This is very simple, I believe that all readers can also think of it. It was during the Battle of Chibi, remembering Cao Cao's old feelings for him in the past, he deliberately left a way for him to live and let Cao Cao go. This release led to Cao Cao's return and the alliance with Sun Quan of the State of Wu, which eventually led to Guan Yu being captured alive by Lü Meng.
The third mistake is to scold a person wrongly. Since the Shu kingdom was conquered under the banner of Han, it seemed to be a just war in that meeting. Coupled with Guan Yu's personality problems, he looked down on any hostile forces at that time. In particular, Sun Quan of Jiangdong directly insulted him as a group of rats in Jiangdong.
At that time, Guan Yu was stationed in Jingzhou, which was the upper reaches of the Jiangdong region and was a great threat to Eastern Wu. In order to win over Guan Yu, Sun Quan wanted to marry Guan Yu. And the arrogant Guan Yu directly scolded, "How can a tiger girl marry a dog?" "Full of contempt for Sun Quan. In fact, Guan Yu could have said this euphemistically, and did not necessarily have to use such a strong scolding tone.
It was also because of this scolding that Sun Quan was completely dead to Guan Yu, which led eastern Wu to turn close to Northern Wei and form the Sun Cao alliance. He then destroyed Guan Yu and annexed the State of Shu. If Guan Yu and Sun Quan had married at that time, the first person in the Three Kingdoms to fall was probably Cao Cao's Northern Wei.
The fourth mistake is to misread a person. This is the fatal mistake that decided Guan Yu's life and death, we all said that Guan Yu "carelessly lost Jingzhou", what is the specific carelessness? It turned out that Lü Meng sent Lu Xun to the front line in order to capture Guan Yu alive, and this Lu Xun ate Guan Yu very thoroughly and found out Guan Yu's arrogant personality. Therefore, he took the plan into account and wrote to Guan Yu to show his humility, and his words were quite admiring, in today's words, Guan Yu's licking dog.
After Guan Yu saw the letter, he was even more arrogant and arrogant, full of disdain and contempt for Lu Xun. He thought that Lu Xun would not be able to pose any threat to himself in this way. Therefore, a large number of troops defending Eastern Wu were drawn to attack Cao Cao with all their strength to the north. Taking advantage of Guan Yu's air defense deficiency, Lu Xun joined forces with Lü Meng and took advantage of the void to take down Guan Yu's base camp, Jingzhou.
Here, if Guan Yu hadn't misread Lu Xun, he naturally couldn't have lost Jingzhou. Later, he defeated Maicheng, was captured alive by Lü Meng, and finally died at the hands of Sun Quan. The fall of the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms generation is really regrettable.
The above are the 4 fatal mistakes made by Guan Yu in his life, I believe that after reading it, I believe that after reading it, like the editor, I am full of regret for Guan Yu.
