When Jian'an was 24 years old, Guan Yu took his own army to attack Cao Cao's Fancheng, and when Cao Cao heard the news, he immediately sent his own most famous general to lead his own army to rescue Xiangfan. He ordered his own general, Pound, to begin fighting with Guan Yu and the two men at Fancheng. In this war, he shot Guan Yu in the forehead.
At that time, Cao Cao's general Pound De, when he went out to fight, the horses he generally rode were white horses, so the army inside Guan Yu, once seen, if this white horse general, was very much in awe of him, and this time has entered August, this time is autumn, this autumn will often rain heavily, for his place a heavy rain will cause the rain to soar, sometimes the water rose to 5.6 zhang.
At this time, all the troops led by him were flooded by the rain, and for them Pound had to go to other places to avoid. But at this time, there must be many people who feel very strange, Guan Yu was only 20 miles away from Yizhou when he was dying, at this time, why did Liu Bei see death and not save it? In fact, before this war, Guan Yu and he had already made preparations in two aspects, and the good thing for him was that if he could successfully take Cao Cao down, and then support Liu Bei to unify the world.
The other side is the bad side is to fight with Cao Cao and die in defeat. But these two results did not end up like this, so for Guan Yu, Guan Yu still took his own army north. In fact, at this time, there were other people who also had such expectations, that is to say, Liu Bei Cao Cao and Sun Quan both had the same expectations, that is to say, Guan Yu must not win in this war, but then Guan Yu won a clear victory in this war, and he also received the place of Fancheng to his men, and then at this time flooded the three armies and captured Cao Cao's most famous general Pang De alive.
For him, this credit is really remarkable. Since Liu Bei took Yizhou, he began to proclaim himself the King of Hanzhong, which was also the first step for him to achieve the unification of the world, and after he was crowned himself, he began to seal the people around him, such as Guan Yu Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong was a great general around him at this time. However, it is obviously regrettable that Guan Yu is completely dissatisfied with such a title, and he once said that he is a big husband and does not associate with those who are older.
In fact, in the current sentence, he believes that Liu Bei's own position was sealed by himself and did not go through the imperial court, so for him he did not admit this position. But for Liu Bei, Liu Bei slowly expanded his territory in the end, and his own strength also slowly increased, so Liu Bei's ambitions have always been further. In fact, it is very accurate to say that because this person still has little credibility with Guan Yu, if it is high credibility, 20 miles away from the place where Guan Yu was defeated, why didn't he go to save Guan Yu?
But at this time, there were many people who said that Guan Yu and Liu Bei were good brothers who swore to live and die together at the beginning, but for Liu Bei, Liu Bei was a self-proclaimed king, and he also had his own ambitions, so Liu Bei could give up Guan Yu for his own Jiangshan or his own interests, but at this time for him he absolutely could not give up this place in Jingzhou. Because when Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountains, Zhuge Liang was like Liu Bei who came up with a very scheming plan, and the premise of this plan was that Liu Bei and he must have two places, Jingzhou and Yizhou.
If these two places were to lose one side at will, then for Liu Bei, if he wanted to go north to the Central Plains, then for him he had not yet begun, and at this time he would already be lost. So that is to say, when Guan Yu and he failed in this place, Liu Bei was very close to him, and the reason why he didn't save him. Mainly because Of Liu Bei, he really valued the ambition in his heart very seriously.
Therefore, Liu Bei preferred to abandon Guan Yu to keep Jingzhou. We can tell from the fact that after Guan Yu's death at that time, the angry Zhang Fei came to Liu Bei and asked for orders to avenge Guan Yu. However, at that time, Liu Bei told Zhang Fei that it was not time, and when Guan Yu took revenge, he said that their situation in Yizhou had not yet stabilized, so no matter what Zhang Fei said, he did not agree to go to avenge Guan Yu. But in fact, the real reason was because at that time, after Sun Quan killed Guan Yu, in order to calm Liu Bei's anger, he promised to return Jingzhou to Liu Bei.
Therefore, Liu Bei calmed his anger after getting Jingzhou, and he thought that the value of Jingzhou was much greater than the value of Guan Yu, so he gave up Guan Yu. And another reason is because of Guan Yu, his loyalty to the Han Dynasty is very high. As we said before, he did not accept Liu Bei's reward for his official position. It was because he felt that Liu Bei's King of Hanzhong was his own and had not been recognized by the Han Dynasty orthodoxy, so he did not recognize Liu Bei's official position.
Therefore, Liu Bei did not tolerate Guan Yu in the face of such a Guan Yu who did not obey his orders, even if it was his brother-in-law, Liu Bei did not tolerate Guan Yu, so after he knew that Guan Yu was defeated, not only did he not go to rescue Guan Yu, but instead ordered his righteous son Liu Feng not to rescue Guan Yu. Although the reporter we see in the history books is because one of Liu Feng's men advised Liu Feng not to save Guan Yu. But let's think about the reason he said it at the time was because he didn't agree with Liu Feng's status.
But about Liu Feng, it was Liu Bei's family affair. Since ancient times, the people who interfered in the emperor's family room had no good results, so since they interfered in this matter, Liu Bei could not tolerate him even more. Because Liu Bei was afraid that when he died, he would control the government and endanger his descendants. After all, Guan Yu's prestige was second only to Liu Bei in the entire Shu Han clique. If after Liu Bei, it was easy to seize his achievements, because many people in the entire Shu Han court admired Guan Yu.
Therefore, for these reasons, Liu Bei completely decided to abandon Guan Yu, so even if it was a short distance from Yizhou, Liu Bei did not want to go to Guan Yu's idea, but it was the same as Sun Quan Cao Cao's idea, that is, to kill Guan Yu.
Of course, all this is speculated by our later generations, and we do not know what the specific situation is.
