At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Shu state of Zhikuang, headed by Liu Bei, supported the Han Dynasty, but Liu Bei's business was not halfway through and the Middle Way collapsed, and before his death, he entrusted his only son Liu Chan to Zhuge Liang in the White Emperor City.
Adhering to the legacy of the former emperor, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times and bowed down for the Shu kingdom, but finally died of overwork, and the great Shu kingdom lost its main heart for a while.
Liu Chan was an unsupportable Ah Dou, and he appointed eunuchs in the court, which gradually weakened shu han, and within a few years, Liu Chan surrendered to the state of Wei, and Shu Han was completely destroyed.
After the fall of the Shu state, from Liu Chan to the following ministers of culture and martial arts had different endings, Liu Chan was named princess of Anle, and many of the ministers were properly arranged.
As one of the Five Tiger Generals, Zhang Fei's family was saved, but Guan Yu's descendants were exterminated, why did the two brothers who had married in Taoyuan have such a different ending?
A mistake that leads to a catastrophe
Liu Guanzhang's three brothers met in Zhuozhou, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were impressed by Liu Bei's grand ambition to revive the Han Dynasty, so the three of them married Jinlan in Taoyuan and embarked on the road of expansion.
Liu Bei recruited talents and successively recruited Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and other able ministers, among them, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun, who were known as the Five Tiger Generals of Shu Han.
Together, they created the foundation of the Shu Han Dynasty and formed a situation in which the Three Kingdoms were established at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, the good times did not last long, although Liu Bei gradually occupied Jingzhou, which was of great strategic significance, and after careful consideration, he handed over this place to Guan Yu, who had high hopes, to guard.
However, Guan Yu lost Jingzhou for various reasons, and for this reason, he caused himself and his descendants to kill himself.
Guan Yu was 60 years old from the age of 42 to the time of the loss of Jingzhou, which was already an advanced age in ancient times, coupled with his continuous mistakes, Guan Yu's loss only lacked an opportunity.
Originally, Zhuge Liang had already foreseen the situation of dividing the world into three parts of the world in Longzhong, and explained that in order to make the Shu kingdom achieve the final victory, it was necessary to resist Cao Cao in the east and Sun Quan in the north, and to entrust Shuai Yin to Guan Yu when he entrusted this sentence to him.
After hearing this sentence, Guan Yu also said that he would take Zhuge Liang's words to heart.
However, his subsequent actions completely violated this idea, and the layout of the Shu state was completely disrupted.
Sun Quan also had this idea, and at first he wanted to unite with Shu to resist Cao Cao, so he married his sister to Liu Bei, and planned to marry his son and Guan Yu's daughter.
This was a good thing for both the Shu kingdom and the Wu kingdom, but Guan Yu did not agree,
He also scolded the emissary sent by Sun Quan, saying, "My tiger girl is not a dog." ”
These words not only show Guan Yu's depreciation of Sun Quan, but also show his pride.
Even if Guan Yu was reluctant to marry his daughter, he could use euphemisms to express his refusal for political reasons, but he did not do so.
Guan Yu's move further aggravated his relationship with Sun Quan, who was not close to him, and Sun Quan was dissatisfied in his heart, and the friendship between the two also affected the development direction of the Shu state and the end of Guan Yu.
The year that Guan Yu lost Jingzhou was the most intense time of the Shu-Wei War, in order to alleviate the pressure of Liu Bei's army to meet the enemy, Guan Yu decided to send troops to the Northern Expedition to Cao Cao, and he had always been brave and successfully besieged Cao Ren in the Xiangfan area.
Cao Cao saw that his son was in danger, and hurriedly sent two generals, Yu Ban and Pound De, to support Cao Ren, but Guan Yu had the help of Tianshi, at this time Fancheng just happened to rain for more than ten consecutive days, and the Han River soared.
Guan Yu took the opportunity to flood the Seventh Army, most of cao's army was destroyed, and Yu Ban and Pound Were also captured.
Yu Ban first surrendered, but Pound de refused, he was a fierce general of the State of Wei, and at this time the State of Shu still had to guard the 60-year-old Guan Yu Town, it can be known that the talent of the State of Shu was withering, Guan Yu thought of this, and wanted to summon Pound, but was angrily scolded by Pound,
Guan Yu could not bear to send this fierce general back in vain, so he had to execute Pound.
Just as the Shu state was cheering for Guan Yu's victory, Sun Quan saw that Guan Yu had taken away a large army and the opportunity of Jingzhou's emptiness, and despite the agreement with the Shu state, he sent Lü Meng to take advantage of the void and join the three counties of Jingzhou.
Guan Yu was attacked by Cao Wu's army, so he had to abandon the city and flee, and finally defeated Maicheng, Liu Bei Zhuge Liang's army in the north was too far away from him to rush to the rescue in time, but Liu Feng around him was slow to rescue, so Guan Yu was captured before waiting for the reinforcements of the Shu state, and ended up in a different place.
The karma of Guan Yu's family
Captured along with Guan Yu, there was also Guan Ping, who had been following his father in the conquest, and the father and son were beheaded together, and the descendants of the Guan Ping family were completely cut off.
Guan Yu had two children, and after Guan Ping's death, Guan Xing survived, and Guan Xing was appreciated and valued by Zhuge Liang, and has been following Zhuge Liang in his work, so he escaped when his father and brother were executed.
However, Guan Xing died young due to illness, and he left two sons, Guan Tong inherited Guan Yu's title after Guan Xing's death, but also died early, and another son, Guan Yi, inherited the title in order.
After the fall of the Shu state, Guan Yi's family was escorted to Wei and Jin.
The others were properly arranged, but Guan Yi was hunted down and killed by the enemy, and this person was Pang Hui, the son of Pound.
After Pound's death, Cao Pi remembered his great merits to the Wei state, and his son Pang Hui was very capable, so he made Pang Hui a great general.
After that, Pang would accompany Deng Ai and Zhong Hui to attack the Shu kingdom, and Liu Chan saw Deng Ai's army descending from the sky, and he was immediately frightened, and Cao Jun treated him preferentially, so Liu Chan surrendered.
Pang Hui always thought of the revenge of killing his father, and at that time, Cao Wei was in civil strife,
He took advantage of the chaos to kill Guan Yi's family, and Guan Yu has since destroyed the door, and Pang Hui's revenge for killing his father has finally been repaid.
The end of the three brothers
Guan Yu was killed in battle, the Shu state lost Jingzhou, and successive disasters caused the Shu state to be seriously injured, and Liu Bei saw that the brothers died for their own cause.
His heart was burning with anger, so he disregarded the evaluation of the situation and turned to lead the army to cut down Wu at the end of the year.
However, due to insufficient preparation, there were enemies in the north and south, Liu Bei fell ill and died in the White Emperor City, and he entrusted Liu Chan to Zhuge Liang before his death, but Zhuge Liang also died after seven unsuccessful Northern Expeditions, and the Shu state became the end of the strong crossbow and soon surrendered to the State of Wei.
Unlike the tragic end of Guan Yu's descendants, Zhang Fei's descendants were properly settled.
The reason was that Zhang Fei's wife was Xiahou Shi, and his two daughters were Liu Chan's concubines.
When Zhang Fei was away in his early years, he met the daughter of the Xiahou family of the Wei state to collect firewood, and the two fell in love at first sight and married, so when the State of Wei liquidated the General of the Shu State, he did not make an unusual move against the Zhang Fei family with a complicated background, but treated their family kindly.
Zhang Fei also had two sons, one son was named Zhang Bao, although he was superior in strength, but he also died young, Zhang Bao left a son named Zhang Zun, before the fall of the Shu state, Zhang Zun was unfortunately killed in the battle to block the Wei army.
Zhang Fei's other son, Zhang Shao, survived, and after Liu Chan surrendered, he and the other generals surrendered to Deng Ai's army.
After entering the State of Wei, he was knighted along with Liu Chan, and Zhang Fei's descendants have since been retained.
Although Zhang Fei's family was saved, his prestige was not as good as Guan Yu's, and although Guan Yu was not as good as Zhang Fei in terms of networking, he even became a god worshipped by people in the future.
It can be seen that Guan Yu was killed, and it was only because he was brave and loyal that he provoked many enemies.
