In the Three Kingdoms, Xiahou Huan was definitely the most fierce and brave warrior around Cao Cao, whether facing Lü Bu, Zhao Yun or Guan Yu, Xiahou Huan was not vain at all, and directly went to battle with it, such courage, among the military generals of the Three Kingdoms, can be regarded as unique.
Of course, in Luo Guanzhong's pen, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others may be exaggerated, but Xiahou Huan in the history of The History, his ability is definitely not a joke, and Guan Yu, even if not as powerful as in the yanyi, can be regarded as a super fierce general, and few people dare to fight with it.
However, when it comes to Xiahou Huan's pursuit and killing of Guan Yu, it is actually not recorded in the main history, but there is a rather wonderful record of it in Luo Guanzhong's pen, so if Zhang Liao did not appear in time, would Xiahou Huan and Guan Yu be able to distinguish between victory and defeat?
Xiahou Huan pursued and killed Guan Yu
After Guan Yu sealed the seal of gold, he chose to leave Cao Cao to continue to find the whereabouts of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, wanted to return to his brothers, and everyone continued to make contributions together, at this time, many of the generals around Cao Cao were dissatisfied with Guan Yu's behavior, so they began to do their best to prevent Guan Yu from leaving.
It was in this situation that Guan Yu began to hang up, creating a legendary story of five levels and six generals, and then continued to move forward to the Yellow River ferry, where the guard of the pass will be Qin Qi, Qin Qi was fashionable and young, had never seen the world, even Guan Yu did not pay attention to it, went forward to try to kill Guan Yu, and was killed by Guan Yu.
After killing Qin Qi, Guan Yu continued to advance, and after hearing that his men were killed by Guan Yu, Xiahou Huan was furious and led three hundred iron horses to pursue and kill Guan Yu, as for why Xiahou Huan wanted to pursue and kill Guan Yu at that time, in fact, the main reason was to talk about another person, that is, Qin Qi's uncle Cai Yang.
Cai Yang was at Cao Cao's side, but also a key figure, the status is relatively high, when Cai Yang handed over his nephew Qin Qi to Xiahou Qi, hoping that Xiahou Qi could take good care of Qin Qi, as a result, now Qin Qi was killed by Guan Yu, Xiahou Huan felt that he could not account to Cai Yang, so he led three hundred iron horses to hunt down and kill Guan Yu in an impulsive way.
Of course, the reason why Guan Yu was able to leave so smoothly at that time, in addition to his excellent strength value, there was also a very important reason, that is, Cao Cao cherished cai and did not want to kill Guan Yu, so he let Guan Yu go everywhere, even Xiahou Huan led three hundred iron horses to hunt down and kill Guan Yu, which Cao Cao did not know.
After Cao Cao learned of the situation, he immediately arranged for emissaries to persuade Xiahou Huan to let Guan Yu go, but at first Xiahou Huan resolutely refused to agree, or pursued Guan Yu poorly, and after catching up with Guan Yu, the two began a big battle, and at the critical moment, Zhang Liao came to tell Xiahou Huan Cao Cao's orders, and xiahou Huan led three hundred iron horses back to the palace.
So if Zhang Liao hadn't stopped the great battle between Xiahou Huan and Guan Yu at that time, what would have happened in the end? Can Xiahou Huan and Guan Yu be able to distinguish between victory and defeat? In fact, the answer is quite affirmative.
The end of the great battle between Xiahou Huan and Guan Yu
In fact, a little more serious and careful friends, will find a detail, Xiahou Huan in the pursuit of Guan Yu did not fight with Guan Yu, there are already emissaries to persuade Xiahou Huan, why Xiahou Huan resolutely did not agree to give up the pursuit of Guan Yu, and just after fighting with Guan Yu, Zhang Liao came to a little admonition, Xiahou Huan went back to the house?
This detail is very intriguing, in the original work, it is said that Zhang Liao promised to help Xiahou Huan to give Cai Yang an explanation, explain the fact that Cai Yang's nephew Qin Qi was killed by Guan Yu, which is a reason to persuade Xiahou Huan to give up continuing to fight with Guan Yu, but only such a reason, presumably can not prevent Xiahou Huan from giving up pursuing and killing Guan Yu in the case of numerical superiority, right?
Obviously, at that time, Xiahou Huan was under pressure, on the one hand, from Cao Cao's orders, on the other hand, from his own strength, Xiahou Huan already understood that he could not defeat Guan Yu, why did he say so?
In fact, the contest between Xiahou Huan and Guan Yu was not the first time, as early as this confrontation, Xiahou Huan and Guan Yu had two head-on confrontations, the first time was outside Xiaye City, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei failed to attack Cao Ying at night, and they fled separately, leaving only Guan Yu to defend Yicheng, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Huan to attack Yecheng, and finally the two clashed for the first time, but at that time, the two only "fought for more than ten times", Xiahou Huan felt that he could not beat Guan Yu and rode away.
After this exchange, Guan Yu was very angry, so he continued to pursue Xiahou Huan, and as a result, he fell into the siege of Xu Huang and Xu Chu, and after Guan Yu struggled to defeat the two, he just broke out of the siege and met Xiahou Huan, who himself knew that it was not Guan Yu's opponent, so he found a large army to besiege Guan Yu.
After these two confrontations, we actually already understood the answer, and Xiahou Huan himself knew that Shan Zhan was not Guan Yu's opponent, so when Zhang Liao promised to help himself to explain the cause of Qin Qi's death to Cai Yang, Xiahou Huan again considered the outcome of continuing the battle, so he quickly withdrew.
Perhaps many people are more confused, at that time Xiahou Huan was leading three hundred iron horses, if the three hundred iron horses besieged Guan Yu together, then Guan Yu would definitely be difficult to fly, in fact, Xiahou Huan did think of such a practice, because he and Guan Yu had already done so when they fought for the second time, and even this time to hunt down and kill Guan Yu Xiahou Huan was also so planned, but Zhang Liao came, conveying Cao Cao's orders, if Xiahou Huan did not obey the order, those iron horses would definitely follow Zhang Liao back, so that Xiahou Huan would be able to do so on his own. Certainly not Guan Yu's opponent.
Since xiahou huan is not Guan Yu's opponent, and the victory and defeat have long been known, then why guan Yu did not kill Xiahou Huan, so as not to hunt himself down every time Xiahou Huan, in fact, this problem is more profound, you must know that Xiahou Huan is Cao Cao's own brother, and he is Cao Cao's most trusted general, and his position in Cao's camp, Guan Yu deeply understands.
Guan Yu originally fled away from Cao Cao, he felt sorry for Cao Cao, if cao Cao's brother and general Xiahou Huan were killed again, then Guan Yu would not be more sorry for Cao Cao, and judging by Guan Yu's personality and personality, it was absolutely impossible to do such a thing.
epilogue
In fact, there was a gap in the value of the force between Guan Yu and Xiahou Huan, Xiahou Huan was obviously not Guan Yu's opponent, but Xiahou Huan would insist on pursuing and killing Guan Yu in order to give Cai Yang an explanation, until Zhang Liao said that after helping him find Cai Yang to explain, Xiahou Huan finally felt at ease and led the iron horse back to the palace, of course, Guan Yu and Xiahou Huan did not kill Xiahou Huan in three confrontations, and also had Guan Yu's personal ideas!
