We read all the lead to present a different history.
Guan Yu was undefeated in his life, and in the battle of Maicheng, he died if he lost. Lü Meng was also the best of the Three Kingdoms warriors, and killing Guan Yu could be said to be a major achievement in his campaign career, but Lü Meng died violently after killing Guan Yu, and posterity has many conjectures. Although Guan Gong was extremely skilled in martial arts, because he had broken his right arm, he was still unable to cope with the situation and the surging reinforcements, so Guan Gong hurried to Xiangyang, first with Cao Ren and Xu Huang attacking, Jingzhou chaos, and Lü Meng capturing Jingzhou City.
Death of Lumont
Moreover, the public security Fu Shiren surrendered to Eastern Wu, Guan Gong was furious, the sores burst open, fainted to the ground, and woke up to learn that Lü Meng had let the sailors wear white clothes, cross the river as merchants, ambush the elite soldiers in Zhoulu, and then control the guards. Lü Meng also asserted earlier, "Although Guan Gong has wings that soar into the sky, he can't fly out of my net." In the end, Guan Yu was captured, and together with Guan Ping, he was beheaded and hung on top of the city tower.
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when Sun Quan and his party gathered together, Lü Meng suddenly dropped his wine glass and grabbed Sun Quan and scolded him, and after speaking in Guan Yu's tone, he fell to the ground, bleeding to death. Many readers expressed great "confusion" about this plot, the theory of ghosts and gods is too absurd, if Guan Yu can possess Lü Meng and eat his soul, then Yan Liang, who died before, and Dianwei, who died "nest bag", wouldn't he have a better chance of possessing and taking revenge? Therefore, many truths have been derived from later generations. Some people said that Sun Quan killed people, and some people said that Lü Meng died of illness.
The reason for the former is that Lü Bu took the initiative to kill Guan Yu without authorization, but Guan Yu and Liu Bei Taoyuan married each other and swore to live and die together, and once Guan Yu died, Eastern Wu and Shu Han became inseparable, and now Liu Bei's troops are strong, Zhuge Liang is clever, and Zhang, Huang, Ma, and Zhao Yong are superior. Eastern Wu and Shu Han fought each other, coughing and not benefiting. In order to calm this matter, Sun Quan could only push Lü Meng out to apologize. The second reason is that Lü Meng's reverence for Zhou Yu is well known, Lü Meng, as Sun Quan's subordinate, but he swore loyalty to others, Sun Quan did not dare to leave Lü Meng, saying that a thousand days as a thief can not be a thousand days to prevent thieves, in case Lü Meng bites back later, it will be a fatal injury to Sun Quan.
Compared with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the record of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms will be more in line with the truth, Lü Meng is seriously ill, and Sun Quan visits him many times. Even in order not to disturb Lü Meng's rest, he dug a hole in the wall and looked through that hole to see if Lü Meng was getting better. It can be seen that Sun Quan did not have much "hatred in his heart" for Lü Meng, and even cherished talent. After Lü Meng, Gong Qin also died, both of them were northerners, they were not adapted to the water and soil of the south, and it was normal for them to die of illness. For example, As a southerner, Lu Xun adapted to water and soil, and lived longer than they did.
