He had a battle with Zhao Yun, armed with an 80-pound large knife, which was not reused, resulting in the defeat and death of Guan Yu's soldiers
Introduction: Guan Yu, as a divine general in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, worked with Liu Bei Zhang Fei to suppress the Yellow Turban Thieves when he was young, and later when he defected to Gongsun Zhan, he fought with them against WuHuan and Xianbei, and killed their centurions many times. When he was in the Tiger Prison, he killed Hua Xiong in a second to make him famous, and later killed two unparalleled generals in Hebei alone, Cao Cao once recruited high-ranking officials Houlu and huge sums of money because he cherished his talent, but Guan Yu refused to accept it. In his later years, when he was defending Jingzhou, he defeated Cao Ren's army with weak troops, and then effortlessly annihilated tens of thousands of reinforcements, and Cao Cao and Sun Quan respected and feared him. Later, because of its poor employment, it was defeated by Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and Jingzhou was also lost. But in fact, Guan Yu had a fierce general under him, he and Zhao Yun had a battle, and he could also use an 80-pound large knife, if Guan Yu reused him, he would not be defeated and killed. Who is he and what's going on? Let's move on.
It turned out that his name was Zhou Cang, originally a subordinate of Zhang Bao, a general of the Yellow Turban Army, and after Zhang Bao was suppressed by the imperial court, he and another Yellow Turban Qu commander Pei Yuanshao worked as a bandit in Woniu Mountain, and continued to return to their old business and live happily. Guan Yu completed his agreement with Cao Cao after killing two peerless generals in Hebei, so he took Liu Bei's family and rushed to Runan and Liu Beihuihe, and was also robbed by Zhou Cang on the way.
At that time, Guan Yu laughed when he heard Zhou Cang shouting the name of Zhang Bao, the general of the prefecture, and Zhou Cang, who had suffered such insults, took a large knife and killed Guan Yu. He was naturally not Guan Yu's opponent, and after being teased for more than a dozen rounds, he calmed down and inquired about Guan Yu's identity. After learning that he was the famous Guan Yu, he directly surrendered with his subordinates, but Guan Yu was in a hurry to go to Runan, and it was not convenient to take so many people, so he took Zhou Cang and let him be his own sword bearer, leaving Pei Yuanshao to continue to station here, saying that there would be other arrangements in the future.
Later, Zhao Yun went south to defect to Liu Bei, and was also robbed by Pei Yuanshao when passing through Woniu Mountain. Zhao Yun naturally did not have Guan Yu's spirit of helping others, and Pei Yuanshao's three-legged cat kung fu could not enter Zhao Yun's magic eyes, and a group of them were slaughtered by Zhao Yun, and only a small number of them ran back to report. Zhou Cang, who was in Runan, was about to behead guan Yu after learning that the brothers had died tragically at the hands of Zhao Yun, and when the two dueled for more than twenty rounds, Liu Bei and his party came to him, and after seeing Zhao Yun, they all said that they were from their own family, so the matter was not resolved.
Although Zhou Cang had been working under Guan Yu, Guan Yu did not reuse him, but only treated him as a servant, either letting him carry a knife or feeding a horse, and Zhou Cang had no regrets. But in fact, Zhou Cang is capable, Runan Taishou has changed one after another, and his unharmed life in the mountains and forests for so many years is a testimony to his strength. If Guan Yu could give zhou cang the task of guarding Jingzhou instead of the weak and incompetent Jing Fang and Dr. Ren, Eastern Wu would not have had the opportunity to sneak into Jingzhou, and Guan Yu would not be able to defeat.
Conclusion: But there are so many things, Guan Yu is proud, although he is from the grassroots, he looks down on people who are also from the grassroots, but likes to spend his time to make friends with scholars, and usually thinks that he is a Marquis. Zhou Cang's ability is strong, because of his bad birth, naturally he will not be valued by Guan Yu, not so much that Guan Yu has made mistakes in employing people, but that his character determines his fate.
