Whether it is through the study of history, or the viewing of some history books, film and television dramas, it gives us a certain understanding of the stories that happened during the Three Kingdoms period.
When it comes to the Three Kingdoms, the first thing that comes to mind is the three representative countries of Wei Shu and Wu, and we are very clear about the founders of these three countries, namely Cao Pi, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan.
Among them, Liu Bei is the most familiar to us, after all, the story learned in the textbook about the three jieyi in Taoyuan in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei is one of the protagonists.
The other two people, especially Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, left a deep impression on us with their stories and brotherhood.
From the beginning when the three became brothers, they agreed to do something great in the chaotic times, and recently with the joint efforts of the three, the Shu Han was established.
After the demise of Shu Han, the outcomes of the three were also different, no one in Zhang Fei's family dared to move and be safe, but Guan Yu was killed by Manmen, what caused such a different ending.
The acquaintance of the three, the establishment of the Shu Han
Before we know the specific reasons, we can take a look at Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Liu Bei, how they met, the process of establishing the Shu Han together, and the reasons for the demise of the Shu Han.
The process of meeting three people is actually very simple, and it is also mentioned in the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", according to records, the three people met at the market.
At that time, Zhang Fei was a butcher shopkeeper, Liu Bei was a straw mat seller, and Guan Yu was a fugitive, seemingly unconnected person, but fate allowed them to intersect in a small market.
Zhang Fei, as a later fierce general, was born with greater strength than others, and he would put the prepared meat in the well and put a millstone on top of it.
This millstone is very thick and heavy, usually only Zhang Fei can move, but when someone came to sell meat on this day, it happened to be in time for Zhang Fei to be in the butcher shop.
The shop Xiaoer who remained in the store couldn't move the millstone placed on the well at all, and when he was in a hurry, he was just in time for Guan Yu, who was making it lively.
I saw that Guan Yu lifted the stone mill with both hands, which also shocked the shop Xiao Er, after all, this was the second person he had seen with such strength besides Zhang Fei.
After Zhang Fei returned, he immediately told Zhang Fei, which aroused Zhang Fei's great interest, and the next day he found an excuse to compete with Guan Yu, wanting to test Guan Yu's strength.
But Guan Yu didn't know what Zhang Fei was thinking in his heart, thinking that he was deliberately looking for his own trouble, and the two fought like this, up and down for a while.
Just when the two people were fighting hard, a pair of hands appeared, pulling them away abruptly, and the force was so great that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were surprised.
Looking up, it was Liu Bei, who had been walking in obscurity and straw shoes, the so-called do not fight and do not know each other, the three of them saw their respective strengths, and they all admired each other.
They met to go to drink together, and they were not people who dragged mud and water, so they packed up their things on the spot and went to drink together.
As they talked, the three of them got to know each other, but they also felt very similar personalities, and finally decided to marry brothers with different surnames.
This has the story of the later Taoyuan Sanjieyi, because Liu Bei's strength is greater than Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and the strength is above the two of them, Liu Bei is ranked as the eldest, Guan Yu is the second, Zhang Fei is the third.
The three brothers told each other about their inner ambitions, and they didn't want to waste their strength and wanted to make a little fame.
In this way, the three of them made a vow in Taoyuan to work together, support each other, and do a great cause together, and the three self-made people first followed the princes from all walks of life to fight Dong Zhuo together.
The outstanding performance of the three in this process attracted the attention of others, allowing them to accumulate a certain fame in the rivers and lakes, and then joined Cao Cao's camp together.
In this process, he accumulated his own financial resources and connections, protected himself, and befriended various heroes and good men until he could establish a force, and decisively withdrew from Cao Cao's camp.
Starting a business alone, Sangu Maolu invited the military master Zhuge Liang, once again expanded his power, and defeated Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi.
After winning a crucial victory, the three then led the other generals under them to attack all the way, occupy territory, and finally establish their own state, Shu Han.
No one in Zhang Fei's family dared to move
In this way, Cao Wei and Sun Wu formed a situation of the Three Kingdoms, becoming one of the hegemons of the Three Kingdoms period, although it ended in failure, but their deeds amazed generation after generation.
With the destruction of Shu Han, we can expect that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who are core members of Shu Han, will not end up much better, and Zhang Fei was killed by his former subordinates Zhang Da and Fan Qiang.
And Guan Yu was killed by Sun Quan after failing to resist, and their ending can be said to make us very embarrassed, and a generation of heroes could not escape the end of the fall.
But after the death of the two, their families have two very different endings, the first is Zhang Fei, although he gives the impression that most of them are rude, reckless and reckless.
But after his death, none of his family dared to move, what was the specific reason? Is it because of Zhang Fei's shock before his death, or because of the background of his family.
Let's take a look at what Zhang Fei's family is, according to records, Zhang Fei's second wife Xiahou Shi, which is one of the reasons why no one in Zhang Fei's family dares to move.
The Xiahou family has a deep background and is a famous family, and Cao Cao was also born in the Xiahou clan, although he changed his surname to Cao with his father, but he has a deep connection with the Xiahou clan.
And Zhang Fei's wife Xiahou Shi also has a very high status in the family, Zhang Fei can marry the Xiahou Clan, which can be described by a high climb.
But everyone will also wonder how one is a famous noble woman and the other is a martial general from a pork seller, and they can't get together.
And this is Zhang Fei's chance, once on the way up the mountain accidentally saved the Xiahou clan, but also won the favor of the Xiahou clan, married Zhang Fei, not only improved his status in Shu Han, but also preserved his family.
After marrying Zhang Fei, Xiahou also bore him three children, a boy and two daughters, and the son was named Zhang Shao, and after Zhang Fei's death, he followed the others to the Wei state.
Because his mother Xiahou was of the same clan as Cao Cao, he received preferential treatment and was made a prince, although he did not have great achievements, but he also spent his life prosperous and wealthy, and as Zhang Fei's only son, he also successfully continued his descendants.
The other two daughters of the Xiahou clan, both later, married Liu Chan, and successively became Liu Chan's empress, and followed Liu Chan's peaceful life.
And Zhang Yuan, the son born to Zhang Fei and his first wife, died in the war a long time ago, so whether it is Zhang Fei's children or Zhang Fei's other family members.
All have been sheltered and properly settled, and many people will say that Zhang Fei was lucky to meet his wife Xiahou Shi and have a pair of beautiful daughters.
But in fact, these also have a lot to do with Zhang Fei's own personality, although in many things, Zhang Fei is grinning and doing things without consequences.
But in fact, Zhang Fei was able to follow Liu Bei and Guan Yu to their current position, in addition to his martial arts, there was also Zhang Fei's carefulness.
The carefulness here is not in doing things, but in contact with people, Zhang Fei is very good at making people and understanding people, it seems that it is not easy to speak, in fact, he is more proficient in human feelings than Guan Yu.
For example, at the beginning, it was he who then looked for something to test Guan Yu, and then the three did not fight or know each other, as well as his encounter with the Xiahou clan.
It is also because he knows how to get along better that he will gain the favor of the Xiahou clan, so that the Xiahou clan willingly gave birth to three children for him, these are the reasons why after Zhang Fei's death, no one in his family dared to move.
Guan Yu was wiped out
Compared with Zhang Fei, who is good at establishing various interpersonal relationships, Guan Yu prefers to be a loner, and his personality is straightforward, especially he does not like to bend and twist.
Being brothers with Zhang Fei and Liu Bei is also because their personalities are very compatible with Guan Yu, and in dealing with things, Guan Yu has an attitude towards everyone, and those who follow me live and die against me.
When treating Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, Guan Yu was a good brother who lectured on morality, and for the sake of his brother, he did not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go to the sea of fire, and voluntarily charged into battle, even if he would be deeply trapped in the enemy camp.
When following Liu Bei, in the face of Cao Cao's overtures, Guan Yu not only refused without hesitation, but even killed many of his generals.
This move can be said to have not given Cao Cao face at all, and it also succeeded in angering Cao Cao, not only Cao Cao treating others.
Especially the enemy, if he can kill, he will kill, and the final result is that before the war calms down and the situation is stable, Guan Yu has already offended everyone outside his camp.
So such a hero who impressed countless people, when he finally fell, no one was willing to keep the last dignity for him, and he died a very miserable death.
In addition to these, compared to Zhang Fei holding his beautiful wife and having both children and daughters, Guan Yu must look more lonely and lonely, and he only sees great cause and brotherhood in his eyes.
There is not much desire for children, and Guan Yu prefers to be a loner than to continue the so-called offspring.
Although he also has a wife and children, he does not pay as much attention to Zhang Fei, especially his attitude towards his daughter's marriage, which is also very different from Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei was a rough man, but he was well versed in people's feelings, and when he learned that Liu Chan was begging for his daughter, he immediately agreed to marry her off.
However, in Guan Yu, the opposite was true, as Sun Wu, who stood with Shu Han, his emperor Sun Quan also asked Guan Yu for his daughter.
But Guan Yu only had the dispute between the two countries in his heart, and in the spirit of not wanting to have any contact with Sun Quan, Guan Yu not only directly refused, but also humiliated Sun Quan.
It was precisely because of this incident that Guan Yu successfully offended Sun Quan, and Sun Quan also held a grudge against Guan Yu, which also happened later, when Guan Yu defeated Maicheng.
He was humiliated and killed by Sun Quan who came to vent the resentment in his heart, imagine if Guan Yu could think of opening some and marrying his daughter to Sun Quan.
Not only can he save his daughter's life, but even when he understands that he escapes and encounters Sun Quan, Sun Quan will let him go, but in fact, Guan Yu has already offended these people.
There will definitely be no good end after defeat, especially his sons and daughters, who, like Guan Yu, were all killed by Sun Quan when Shu Han perished.
summary
After understanding the demise of Shu Han, the different solutions of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's family also gave us a new view of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in our hearts.
Especially for Zhang Fei, it turns out that Zhang Fei is not what we see on the surface, in fact, he is a person who is proficient in human affection and thick and thin.
But no matter how different the results are, it is undeniable that the brotherhood between Zhang Fei and Guan Yu is undeniable, and it is undeniable that in the era full of wars at that time, the two were indeed heroic existences.
And the final outcome is also their respective fate, after all, no matter how powerful people are, there will always be times when they fail, and they will also pay the price, including their lives.
And from them, we also learned a lot, although we don't need to make friends with anyone as brothers, but as friends, we must also do what a friend should do, always think about friends, do not cheat friends, and help friends more.
