As the saying goes, a hero is sadder than a beauty. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lü Bu, who is unparalleled in the world, can be said to be the most effective person in the Three Kingdoms, and he can be said to be invincible in the battlefield, but Lü Bu's life is tightly surrounded by a woman, that is, a mink cicada.
The so-called beauty with heroes, the mink cicada is one of the four beauties of ancient times, Lü Bu is the matchless fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, and the two can be said to be a match made in heaven.
However, Lü Bu was eventually beheaded by Cao Cao, and then the mink cicada was obtained by Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao did not take the mink cicada for himself, but gave her to Guan Yu, but the next day the mink cicada committed suicide.
Lü Bu's death
This matter should also start from Lü Bu and Sable Cicada, Lü Bu was originally a general of Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo instigated Lü Bu's rebellion, gave him a red rabbit horse, promised to make him a great general, and also recognized him as his own son.
The conditions were so good that Lü Bu could not refuse, so he killed Ding Yuan and switched to Dong Zhuo's command. However, Dong Zhuo was very cruel, fornicated with chaogang, and became the prime minister himself, vacating the emperor's power and conniving at the scourge of the township by his subordinates.
The ministers could not tolerate it and discussed killing Dong Zhuo. At this time, Cao Cao struck, and Wang Yun gave him a sword that cut iron like mud, but Cao Cao failed to assassinate him, and Wang Yun could only find another way.
At this time, Wang Yun noticed one thing, that is, Lü Bu seemed to be interested in his daughter. At this time, Wang Yun thought of a divisive plan, and called Lü Bu to say that he wanted to give his daughter Xu to him.
Behind his back, he offered the mink cicada to Dong Zhuo, Lü Bu knew that he was angry, Wang Yun provoked dissension in the middle, and Dong Zhuo killed Dong Zhuo in anger. Then the mink cicada was promised to Lü Bu, who was proud of his love scene, but the workplace was frustrated.
Lü Bu was defeated by Dong Zhuo's old troops and driven out of Chang'an City, but Lü Bu defeated Liu Bei with his backhand and occupied Liu Bei's Xuchang City, and Liu Bei had no choice but to take his brothers to Cao Cao.
After Liu Bei surrendered to Cao Cao, he did not sit idle, but instead threw Cao Cao to retake Xuchang. Because Liu Bei was related to Yu and Zhang Fei at this time, Cao Cao attacked Xuchang and captured Lü Bu, who knelt down to beg cao for forgiveness.
Cao Cao also wanted to let Lü Bu ride a horse and let him sell himself, but Liu Bei told Cao Cao that Lü Bu's preference was to kill the lord, and Cao Cao was afraid that he would directly kill Lü Bu, and Lü Bu's beloved wife, Mink Cicada, was acquired by Cao Cao.
Guan Yu was captured and submitted to Cao Cao
When Liu Bei and Cao Cao met in Xuchang, Guan Yu told Liu Bei that Sooner or later Cao Cao would get rid of him, and it was better to do it first.
However, Liu Bei was serious and did not agree with Guan Yu's views, and as a result, he was almost killed by Cao Cao. Guan Yu was also trapped at Tunbing Mountain under cao Cao's blows. Guan Yu did not want to surrender, and wanted to die, and when he was in danger, Zhang Liao ran over and persuaded Guan Yu to stop him.
Speaking of Zhang Liao, he was originally Lü Bu's subordinate, and after Lü Bu's death, he was originally going to be killed by Cao Cao. However, Guan Yu and he were fellow countrymen, so they pulled Liu Bei to intercede with Zhang Liao, which saved his life.
But who could have imagined that there were not yet months of kung fu, and history was so similar, Guan Yu was also persuaded by Zhang Liao, and then said good things about Cao Cao. Cao Cao was originally a man who knew heroes and heavy heroes, and he was very fond of Guan Yu.
Then, under Guan Yu's three chapters, he temporarily submitted to Cao Cao. After Guan Yu came, Cao Cao knew that he still had to go to Liu Bei, but he wanted to make a final stay, so he was particularly kind to Guan Yu.
Not long after Guan Yu arrived, Cao Cao asked Emperor Xian of Han to give him the title of Marquis, of course, Emperor Xian of Han was useless now, and the sovereignty was still Cao Cao. Therefore, Cao Cao said a word, Guan Yu first sealed Hou.
Cao Cao then pulled Guan Yu to Ma Peng to give Up Lü Bu's red rabbit horse to Guan Yu, and said that Guan Yu had no daughter-in-law and would give the mink cicada to Guan Yu. However, Cao Cao sent Guan Yu so many things, but did not give Guan Yu the right to fight, and from here, it can be seen that Cao Cao is still very treacherous.
Guan Yu was indifferent to the mink cicada
After Guan Yu returned to the mansion that Cao Cao had arranged for him that day, the mink cicada was already waiting at the palace. It should be said that this mink cicada is also a person with a hard life, originally a woman with a prosperous style, but because of Wang Yun's selfishness, she was reduced to a political tool.
Sable Cicada can be said to be the representative of the women of that era, unable to resist the arrangement of the righteous father, and forced to become the wife of Dong Zhuo, the evil person. But fortunately, Lü Bu was interested in himself and rescued himself from the tiger's mouth.
Marten Cicada met a true hero and thought that he could live happily ever after, but Lü Bu was short of breath and fell into Cao Cao's hands again. When Cao Cao told himself that he would give himself up to Guan Yu, the sable cicada had already confessed his fate.
Although Sable Cicada did not know Guan Yu, he heard the people in the government say that this Guan Yu was a benevolent and righteous man, and a heroic and good man who was not inferior to Lü Bu. After seeing Guan Yu, the mink cicada first served Guan Yu tea.
After Guan Yu received the tea, he did not look at the mink cicada squarely. Although the mink cicada thinks that although it cannot be said to be a fallen city, but the appearance is not ugly, why Guan Yu does not even look at himself, which makes the mink cicada very resentful.
However, in that era, women did not have any status, and Sable Cicada knew her own status, and she understood that Cao Cao gave herself to Guan Yu, that is, to let herself keep Guan Yu under his account and serve him.
From what Cao Cao gave to Guan Yu, we can see that the marquis was given to the official, that is, to give money and power, and also to the red rabbit horse, because Guan Yu had a big knife, so there was no need to give Guan Yu weapons, then it was a bad woman.
The marten cicada saw that Guan Yu had a cold attitude towards him, so he talked to Guan Yu, but Guan Yu was obviously still ignoring it. After a while, it was time for dinner, and after the meal was delivered, the mink cicada saw Guan Yu drinking, so he wanted to dance to Guan Yu to help him entertain.
The dance of the mink cicada is not ordinary, I think that Lü Bu was watching the mink cicada dance, and he was fascinated and could not extricate himself from the mink cicada. While Guan Yu was drinking wine here, watching himself dance, the marten cicada concluded that Guan Yu must not be able to sustain himself.
Guan Yu was indeed fascinated by the dance of the mink cicada, because Guan Yu was still young at the time, and he was also a hot-blooded boy. But Guan Yu knew that if he took this step, the road behind him would not be easy.
Because this incident would definitely make him subject to Cao Cao, Guan Yu saw through Cao Cao's beauty plan, so he took up a large knife and slashed it at the shadow of the mink cicada. Guan Yu did not kill the mink cicada directly because he was a very benevolent person and would certainly not attack a woman.
Moreover, this is not the fault of the mink cicada, she is just a tool of Cao Cao, and if she wants to cut it, she must also cut Cao Cao. When Sable Cicada saw Guan Yu's move, she knew that Guan Yu had no feelings for herself, which made her feel very ashamed. Coupled with his own unfortunate experience, the mink cicada directly hanged himself the next day.
Guan Yu can be said to be a true gentleman who sits still and does not mess around, and he has also preserved his reputation. More importantly, Guan Yu expressed his loyalty to Liu Bei, which is also where posterity greatly admired him.
