Jianghu encyclopedia to talk about the Three Kingdoms, today said that the Shu Han Five Tiger Generals of the first Guan Yu, Guan Yu's influence should be said that there should be no one in the Three Kingdoms can match it, more than a thousand years after Guan Yu's death, Guan Yu by tens of thousands of enemies of military generals, step by step was gradually deified by the folk as "Guan Gong", the Qing Dynasty began to be revered as a martial saint, became the late period of China's feudal society from the emperor to the general, down to the soldiers, farmers, industrialists and merchants widely worshipped as a sacred idol.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records Guan Yu's life deeds, of which Guan Yu's brilliance is mainly in two aspects, one is that in the fifth year of Jian'an, Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang, and history records that when Guandu was at war, Yuan Shao attacked Liu Yan, a Cao general who was alone guarding the white horse, with Yan Liang. Faced with this situation, Cao Cao's adviser Xun You suggested that he first pretend to cross the river at Yanjin and make a gesture of attacking the rear of Yuan's army, inducing Yuan Shao to divide his troops into Yanjin. Then, the light troops rushed forward and rushed to attack the white horse, attacking it unprepared. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records that Yu saw Liang Li Gai, and he beheaded him among the multitudes, and shao zhu was unable to be the one who could do it, so he lifted the White Horse Siege. Duke Cao was made the Marquis of Hanshouting.
Many people are influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to think that Guan Yu was victorious after having the Red Rabbit Horse, relying on the speed of the Red Rabbit Horse, and it was a sneak attack to win, at that time, guan Yu was able to kill Yan Liang in the midst of ten thousand armies on the one hand, which was caused by Yan Liang's hasty battle, but Yan Liang, as a military general under Yuan Shao, was a brave general with a prestige, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao went to war, Kong Rong advised Cao Cao to be careful, but it was such a military general who was evaluated by Kong Rong as a brave champion of the three armies, even if he faced an attack, he would not tie his hands and capture it.
Although Guan Yu's killing in the war also explained Guan Yu's personal strength, Guan Yu was also the only recorded enemy general in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and Guan Yu broke the siege of Baima, allowing Cao Cao to gain the first benefit of the battle.
Guan Yu's second brilliant thing was the battle of Xiangfan, which was launched when Zhen shou Jingzhou, Guan Yu first besieged Xiangyang and Fancheng, yu ban came to the rescue of Fancheng, but was flooded by Guan Yu's Seventh Army, captured by Yu Ban and others, severely injured Cao Wei, Jingzhou assassin Shi Huxiu, Nanxiang Taishou Fu Fang both surrendered Guan Yu, Guan Yu's prestige shocked Huaxia, Cao Cao planned to move the capital to avoid its sharp edge, which shows the great influence of Guan Yu at that time.
Guan Yu town shou Jingzhou is actually the three counties of Nan County, Lingling, Wuling, the Eastern Han Dynasty Jingzhou originally administered seven counties, Jingxiang Nine Counties is a word that appears in the novel, in the largest Nanyang County was occupied by Cao Cao, other places Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County are in the hands of Sun Quan, although the final outcome of Guan Yu is defeated and killed, but the entire Xiangfan Campaign, Guan Yu with three counties, against the enemies faced by Cao Wei and Eastern Wu, famous for Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Pound De, Man Yu, Lü Meng, Lu Xun and others, Notorious are also Zhao Yu, Lü Chang, etc., as well as the Wu generals Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang, and others who participated in the attack on Jingzhou, but Guan Yu did not even have an outstanding military general under his account, that is to say, Guan Yu faced too many enemies at the same time with his own strength, and suffered from the rebellion of his subordinates in the case of being attacked in the abdomen and back, so it was difficult for other people in the Three Kingdoms to solve the situation, right?
Guan Yu alone influenced the direction of the history of the Three Kingdoms, the Battle of Xiangfan also became a turning point in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Eastern Wu occupied the six counties of Jingzhou, Sun Liu's alliance was broken, Liu Bei lost the three counties of Jingzhou, the losses were extremely heavy, the conditions for Longzhong were lost, and in addition, Meng Da defected to Wei, resulting in the loss of Shangyong and other places, Guan Yu's defeat and killing directly led to Liu Bei's later campaign against Eastern Wu's Battle of Yiling.
For such a warrior, Cao Cao was afraid, and Sun Quan was also afraid of the impact on his locality, so he jointly killed Guan Yu, although as a military general, Guan Yu experienced two live captures, but it can be seen from Guan Yu that the integrity of a soldier is not only reflected in the moment of life and death, Cao Cao has not forgotten Liu Bei for his courtesy, and Guan Yu has spent his life to repay. Don't forget the grace and live up to the righteousness, which may be the reason why there are so many martial generals in the Three Kingdoms why Guan Yu can be respected as a martial saint.
