Among some famous allusions recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu's beheading of Huaxiong is still relatively famous. According to historical records, when Guan Yu killed HuaXiong, there were four masters present. With their strength, they could completely kill Huaxiong.
Warm wine chop Huaxiong
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the capital rioted, and Dong Zhuo, who had aimed at the opportunity, entered the capital to begin his days of committing wrongdoing, from making Liu Xie a puppet emperor to a harem full of women and full of fornication, from brutally killing some ministers to indulging his soldiers to rob civilians. Because Dong Zhuo took advantage of the void to enter, the capital became a miasma for a while.
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and others, who had long been unaccustomed to Dong Zhuo, jointly formed a coalition of eighteen-way princes to prepare to attack Dong Zhuo and restore peace in the capital, but the eighteen-way princes' combined army, which was known as the peace of the people, was a secret struggle behind its back, and only wanted to be able to divide some territory and get its own interests.
Because Dong Zhuo's men also had powerful generals such as Lü Bu and Hua Xiong, he did not panic when he heard that the combined forces of the Eighteen-Way Princes led by Cao Cao were going to fight against him. So Hua Xiong stepped forward in front of Lü Bu and bravely asked for battle.
Hua Xiong was a master of martial arts, and when describing him in the text, he was called a tiger with a wolf's waist and a height of nine feet. It is conceivable that Hua Xiong is a tall and mighty famous general.
When the combined forces of the Eighteenth Route Princes came to Fenshui, he led his soldiers and successively killed Bao Zhong, Sun Jian's general Zu Mao, Yuan Shu's general Yu Shi and Han Fu's general Pan Feng and others, while Hua Xiong, who killed these people, used only one sword. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who received this news, were both troubled, and when they were discussing how to defeat Huaxiong, Guan Yu appeared, and there was an allusion to Wenjiu's beheading of Huaxiong.
At this time, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with him, and also wanted to join the combined forces of the Eighteenth Route Princes, but because the soldiers were blocking the door, it was Cao Cao who let them in. Guan Yu regarded Cao Cao as a benefactor because of this behavior of Cao Cao, and as we all know, Guan Yu has always had revenge and will answer with kindness.
So when they were worried because of Huaxiong, Guan Yu roared loudly, stood in front of everyone, and said to everyone, "Horse archer Guan Yu is willing to behead Huaxiong", Yuan Shu, who heard this sentence, looked at Guan Yu who did not know where he came from, and he was angry at once, so he said to Guan Yu, "A horse archer, still want to defeat Huaxiong?" ”
As he spoke, he wanted to arrange for his soldiers to drive Guan Yu out, and at this moment, Cao Cao said, "This person looks like a hero, how can a Huaxiong know who he is, why not let him try." While talking, he poured hot wine and handed it to Guan Yu, and when he heard his benefactor speaking for him, Guan Yu didn't even drink the wine, picked up something and rushed to the battlefield.
Guan Yu rode a yellow horse, holding a large knife, and slashed at Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong saw this posture, and did not dare to relax, after several rounds, Hua Xiong was not Guan Yu's opponent after all, and he was defeated. So when Guan Yu brought Huaxiong's leader to Cao Cao and Yuan Shu' eyes, the wine in the cup warmed up. Guan Yu also became famous in one battle.
But now that I think about it, was it really only Guan Yu who could kill Hua Xiong at that time? And the history records who were the four masters who were watching on the spot at that time, let's talk about them in detail.
Blind Xiahou Xiahou Huan
Xiahou Huan's bravery and good fighting were already evident in his youth, when he was a teenager, because some people insulted his master, he killed the people he insulted, and later when Cao Cao was fighting against the Yellow Turban Army, he bore the brunt of it and became Cao Cao's general. In this coalition army, he was also known as Sima (司馬).
When he engaged Lü Bu later, he successfully returned Lü Bu's army. Therefore, at that time, if It was Xiahou Huan who went to kill Hua Xiong, it was also completely possible. It was only because Cao Cao did not give clear instructions at that time, so he never came forward. From these, it can also be seen that Cao Cao's management of his own subordinates at that time had certain rules to follow.
General Xiahou Yuan
Speaking of Xiahou Huan, he could also think of one person who was his cousin Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan's wife and Cao Cao's wife were sisters, and Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan could be said to have cherished each other. When Cao Cao was in trouble, Xiahou Yuan came to the rescue and followed Cao Cao.
Xiahou Yuan's strength was definitely weaker than Xiahou Yuan's, and even so, a Single Huaxiong was not his opponent. However, his impatient personality and Cao Cao's compassion for him, so unless it was a critical moment, he would not easily send Xiahou Yuan to fight, so Xiahou Yuan had been waiting for the opportunity at that time. And these personalities of his are also an important reason for his final death by surprise attack.
Hussar General Cao Hong
Cao Cao's subordinate brother Cao Hong, a Peiguo man, was defeated by Xu Rong and lost his mount when he was fighting Dong Zhuo, and Cao Hong, who saw this scene, immediately jumped off his horse and gave his mount to Cao Cao, saying that "there can be no Cao Hong in this world, but there can be no Cao Cao" In the chaos of the war, Cao Hong was still able to save his life without a mount.
In the later battle with Ma Chao, he also succeeded in preventing Ma Chao from killing Cao Cao. His bravery in the battle shows that Cao Hong's strength and wisdom can completely kill HuaXiong.
Tiger Sun Jian
Sun Jian was a descendant of the military warrior Sun Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Sun Jian, who was born in a military family, was a genius from an early age. In his youth, Sun Jian became a county official, and later became a county minister in three counties because he repelled the turmoil of Xuchang and others, because Sun Jianxiao was brave and good at war, and he fought a lot in the Yellow Turban Uprising.
During the battle against Huaxiong, Sun Jian retreated because Yuan Shu had not supplied Sun Jian with food. But Sun Jian's own martial arts are still very brave, he is best at archery, and more importantly, the big knife in his hand can completely kill Huaxiong.
summary
We can see that if there was no Guan Yu at that time, according to the talents and martial arts skills of the above famous generals, Hua Xiong could also be killed. It was only at that time that Guan Yu seized the opportunity and chose to rush forward in order to repay the favor and kill Hua Xiong.
I think this spirit of Guan Yu is worth learning from us, and sometimes we can seize the opportunity and fight for it when necessary, maybe we will become famous because of our struggle, just like about it.
At the same time, Cao Cao cherished and reused the famous generals under his opponents, and if Cao Cao was a little bad with these generals, they would not choose to follow Cao Cao. It was this character of Cao Cao that allowed Cao Cao to be rescued in the later wars, and some people were willing to charge for him.
In addition, it is recorded in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms that it was not Guan Yu who really killed Huaxiong, but the famous general Sun Jian. However, in Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is described as Guan Yu killing Huaxiong, so Guan Yu became famous in the First World War.
