The Three Kingdoms is a magnificent and legendary history, in which countless heroes have emerged, and their reputation is still known to be celebrated today. Among these heroes, Guan Yu is definitely one of the best figures, he is righteous and thin, taking the first rank of general in the ten thousand armies is like probing the bag, which is really a master of all people. however
Carelessly losing Jingzhou and defeating Maicheng made Guan Erye's life attach a layer of tragic color.
The death at the hands of Lü Meng made many people feel sorry for Second Master Guan, and Liu Bei was even more angry, and did not listen to Zhuge Liang's advice to fight sun quan, and as a result, he returned with great wealth and the national strength of the Shu state declined unprecedentedly, which was also the fundamental reason for the weakening of the national strength in the late Shu state.
However, many people still have doubts about the death of Guan Erye, at that time, the place where Guan Yu was killed was only twenty miles away from Yizhou, and it didn't take long to ride a horse, so why didn't anyone rescue him? Moreover, Guan Yu's escape route can be rescued in many places, why in the end, why only see Guan Yu fighting alone and no one to rescue him?
The Biography of Guan Yu in the Book of the Three Kingdoms chronicles that ''
Twenty-four years later, the first lord was the king of Hanzhong, and Bai Yu was the former general. At the age of one, Yu led the crowd to attack Cao Ren Yu Fan. Cao Gong dispatched him to the Forbidden Aiding Ren. In autumn, the rain was heavy, the Han River overflowed, and the Seven Armies of the Forbidden House were gone. Forbidden to descend feathers, feathers and beheaded general Pound. Liang, Yu, and Lu Hun were thieves or remotely received the Feather Seal number, and they were supported by the Party, and The Yu Wei shook Huaxia. Cao Gong agreed to move xu to avoid his sharpness.
''
But after the peak, there were at least three reasons why Guan Yu lost Maicheng.
Hanzhong was in turmoil and there were no soldiers available
Although there were many places where Guan Yu's escape route could be saved, Liu Bei was in Hanzhong at that time, and he did not have much time and energy to take care of his second brother. Although Hanzhong had been taken down, it was turbulent, Liu Bei did not have enough manpower, and the information received was not fast and accurate enough, resulting in the delay in issuing rescue orders.
Moreover, Guan Yu had been winning victories in the early stages, and suddenly hearing the news of defeat and retreat caught Liu Bei off guard, and Liu Bei did not have any way for a while. Moreover, at that time, wu's army had already attacked Jingzhou on a large scale, and if Liu Bei did not rescue Jingzhou, Wu's army would threaten his base camp. In addition, even if Liu Bei wanted to save Guan Yu, he was powerless to return to heaven, and the time for him to issue orders was probably not yet in Yizhou Guan Yu.
Guan Yu made too many enemies
Many commentators in later generations will criticize Guan Yu when guan yu lost Jingzhou, and there are various shortcomings in his body, and a large part of the reason why Guan Yu lost Maicheng is actually self-inflicted. When Guan Yu was guarding Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang once advised Guan Yu that if he wanted to defend Jingzhou, he needed to remember these words. He married Sun Quan and refused Cao Cao.
However, it was obvious that Guan Yu took this sentence as a side note. In fact, Sun Quan had looked for Guan Yu and his relatives before, but Guan Yu was too arrogant, looked down on Sun Quan, and humiliated Sun Quan, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms evaluated Guan Yu".
Rigid and self-effacing
''。 Sun Quan wanted to get married, but Guan Yu arrogantly refused, and said
: Can a tiger girl marry a dog?
People who are a little politically minded don't talk like that.
This is obviously scolding Sun Quan for being a dog. This also led to Sun Quan's anger and his decision to join forces with Cao Cao to attack the Shu state, resulting in the defeat of Maicheng. It was also Guan Yu's attitude of being blind to the eyes that led to the burial of his own life. It can be said that even if Liu Bei can save Guan Yu, he will die in his own pride sooner or later.
Guan Yu treated his own people and did not think about internal unity. Ma Chao had just returned, and Guan Yu wanted to compete with him. Liu Bei made Huang Zhong a rear general, and Guan Yu said angrily:
''The eldest husband will never be with the veteran!''
This arrogant personality, which is fine in normal times, will show problems when it encounters an emergency. Sure enough, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren, who were stationed in The Southern County of Jingzhou, were dissatisfied because Guan Yu had always despised him. The two were reprimanded by Guan Yu for having problems with the supply of grain and grass. In the end, the two descended to Wu, leaving Guan Yu with nowhere to go.
The rescue is deceitful, with the intention of destroying Shu
In fact, according to the current point of view, it is very wise to see guan yu defeat Maicheng and no one to rescue him. At that time, the enemy situation was complicated, and he had no idea what the enemy was thinking. Guan Yu's troops at that time were basically wiped out, and even if Guan Yu was saved, he could not recover the loss. More importantly, Guan Yu's defeat of Maicheng was likely to be an ambush by the State of Wu, using Guan Yu as bait.
They believed that Liu Bei would not allow his brother to be killed, and would definitely send troops to rescue him, so as long as the ambush was good, he could once again eliminate the main force of the Shu state, and then attack the base camp of the Shu state again, and seize the territory and sit on an equal footing with the Wei state. However, Wu Guo's good plan was obviously disappointed, and they did not expect that Liu Bei really did not send troops, lose Guan Yu's preservation strength, and take revenge in the future.
In addition to the sadness of Guan Erye's defeat in Maicheng, a generation of famous generals did not understand themselves in a big war, but fell into the trap of the enemy and ended their lives. For the phenomenon that Guan Erye was defeated and walked without rescue, I think more of the reason is that he himself made too many enemies, in fact, not only the contradiction between him and Sun Quan, but also the internal people of the Shu Kingdom also have great differences, which led to the embarrassing situation that no one is willing to save and no one is saved.
