Guan Yu is one of the characters that Luo Guanzhong, the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, has spent a lot of ink to describe, he is not only a strong martial artist, he is still loyal and loyal, and his righteousness is thin and cloudy. His life can be said to be clear about right and wrong, single-mindedly working hard for Liu Bei's career, and did not spend energy to pursue official status, but he messed up on two things and made a big mistake.
Huarong Dao let Cao Cao go
The first thing was that he released Cao Cao in Huarong Road, and the author and many readers held a positive attitude, believing that he was a Zhi'en Tu Bao. However, at that time, Guan Yu was indeed very confused and hesitant, on the one hand, he signed a military order with Zhuge Liang, and he also swore in front of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei that he would definitely complete the task.
On the other hand, Cao Cao was indeed gracious to him. At the last moment, he still softened his heart and chose to let Cao Cao go, so that Liu Bei would face a more powerful enemy Cao Cao in the future.

The second thing was that in order to strengthen the alliance with the Shu state, Eastern Wu wanted to use the method of peace and affinity to make the two countries stand on the same front and face Cao Cao together. However, at that time, Guan Yu was very dismissive, he thought that his daughter was a tiger girl, and the other party's son was a dog, and in front of everyone, he directly fell into the face of Eastern Wu and insulted others, which was a trampling on Eastern Wu.
As a result, the already precarious relationship between Eastern Wu and the Shu State became even more unstable, in fact, Guan Yu's affair also intensified the process of Eastern Wu's betrayal of the two alliances, so Guan Yu's approach brought a rebellious enemy to the Shu State, Eastern Wu. These two actions of Guan Yu can be said to have brought great disasters to the Shu Kingdom, and also brought himself a threat to his own life, which can be said to be very unwise.
