"Three days of farewell, when the eyes are impressed." This sentence refers to Lü Meng, a famous fierce general of the State of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. Lü Meng was only an obscure junior in the army in his early years, but through his own efforts, he reached the peak of his life - killing Guan Yu in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
Guan Yu is a famous figure in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Yi Bo Yuntian, is a generation of tyrants, and Zhuge Liang, as a military master, is naturally famous all over the world, but he is not loyal to the country and the people in some people, but borrows the hands of others to get rid of Guan Yu's murderer, Liu Bei has long known about this, but he has done nothing, why is this?
In fact, when Lü Meng attacked Jingzhou, the soldiers in Jingzhou were worried that their families would be tragically harmed, and they had already lost their will to fight, and at the same time, they heard that Lü Meng was very preferential to the prisoners, so Lü Meng effortlessly attacked Jingzhou.
At that time, Guan Yu was facing a very critical situation, he had completely fallen into the encirclement of Lü Meng, and the Cao army was also eyeing Guan Yu, and when Sun Quan sent a large army to occupy Jiangling, Guan Yu had completely cut off the back road. After Guan Yu learned of his experience, he rushed to Liu Feng and Meng Da for help, but what Guan Yu did not expect was that the two of them refused his request.
Guan Yu, as our "generation of famous generals" in China, has fallen into such a situation, which undoubtedly makes people feel sorry, and at this critical juncture, Guan Yu can only flee to Maicheng. After Guan Yu led his cavalry to capture Maicheng, he realized that this was not a place to stay for a long time, and could only continue to lead his army to flee to the Zhangxiang area.
At this time, Guan Yu had become a lost dog, Cao Cao continued to send large armies to pursue the retreat, and then Sun Quan sent Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang, completely cutting off Guan Yu's retreat, and finally Guan Yu's fate was extremely miserable, Guan Yu's father and son were both captured by Ma Zhong, and Guan Yu also ended his brilliant life.
However, after Guan Yu's death, the records of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are completely inconsistent, and if we have watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we will know that Liu Bei wept bitterly when he heard the news of Guan Yu's death, and even fainted at that time. However, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei's reaction after learning of Guan Yu's death is not recorded, but Pang Tong and Fazheng, the military generals of the Shu state, wept bitterly after learning of Guan Yu's death.
If we think about this, there will be a creepy feeling, Guan Yu and Liu Bei are brothers and sisters, Liu Bei learned that Guan Yu's death did not have any sad behavior, which undoubtedly makes people have a feeling of cunning rabbit dead dog cooking. Even after Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei did not posthumously title Guan Yu and waited until Liu Chan succeeded to the throne before re-sealing Guan Yu.
The end we saw about Guan Yu undoubtedly made everyone feel sad, and in the thousands of years since, many people have been discussing the real reason for Guan Yu's death. Zhang Taiyan, a famous master of traditional Chinese studies in China, once put forward an idea: Guan Yu's real cause of death was because of Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang was the real murderer behind the scenes.
Zhang Taiyan once wrote in one of his books: "The real cause of Guan Yu's death was not because of the Wu people, but Zhuge Liang was the real murderer of Guan Yu." Zhang Taiyan's proposition undoubtedly made everyone feel trepidation.
If you have read Zhuge Liang's "Table of Renunciation", you will find that the views of Zhuge Liang and Zhang Taiyan expressed in the article are completely different. What Zhuge Liang shows us in the "Table of Renunciation" is that he bowed down to the Shu kingdom, but in the views expressed by Zhang Taiyan, we see Zhuge Liang who will stop at nothing to achieve the goal.
This makes people wonder why The Master of Traditional Chinese Studies, Zhang Taiyan, made such a claim? There are several main reasons for this. First of all, every one of us knows that Zhuge Liang was a strategist who had too many legendary deeds in Zhuge Liang's life.
It is impossible for a person with such intelligence not to fail to see the crisis that Guan Yu is facing, and in the process, Zhuge Liang did not warn Guan Yu and did not send an army to rescue Guan Yu, so perhaps Zhuge Liang wanted to borrow the hands of Wei Guo and Wu Guo to kill Guan Yu.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang was an extremely tough person in political means, after Liu Bei's death, he once made Li Yan a minister of the Shu State, but at that time Zhuge Liang could be said to be powerful in the Shu State, he used his power to directly reduce Li Yan to a commoner, Li Yan's end was very miserable, and Li Yan's such an ending was probably also Liu Bei's instruction.
We all know that Guan Yu is a fierce general, his ability is beyond doubt, and perhaps there is another reason, Liu Bei is afraid of Guan Yu's high lord, Zhuge Liang, as Liu Bei's sidekick, has already seen Liu Bei's thoughts, so Zhuge Liang borrowed the hands of others to kill Guan Yu.
Whether Zhang Taiyan's point of view is correct or not, we can't verify it now, but Zhang Taiyan provides us with a new angle, when Guan Yu was under siege, why Zhuge Liang did not send troops to support Guan Yu, we can think from other angles.
In 219 AD, Guan Yu's prestige in the Shu kingdom reached its peak, and everyone in the Shu state believed that Guan Yu was an invincible and invincible general, so Zhuge Liang was also very relieved and let Guan Yu attack the Cao army. At the same time, the sudden betrayal of the State of Wu was also something that Zhuge Liang did not realize, and the State of Wu had suffered a lot of losses at the hands of the State of Shu, which caused sun Quan's dissatisfaction, so Sun Quan wanted to kill the general of the State of Shu unexpectedly when Guan Yu attacked the Cao army.
The political interests involved in Guan Yu's death are too large, and we can only wait for more evidence to appear now to solve this age-old puzzle, paper can never contain fire, and sooner or later the truth will be revealed.
