Preface
In Chinese history, the Three Kingdoms period was an era full of heroes and strife and conflict, and the fate of some of these historical figures is even more embarrassing.
However, in this era of war and blood, the deaths of three characters are particularly regrettable. These three people were killed by Guan Yu, Sun Quan and Cao Cao respectively.
Guan Yu, Sun Quan, and Cao Cao, three important figures, each killed a figure who was considered "the least to be killed". So who are these three people, and why do they say they deserve to be killed?
1. Divine Doctor Hua Tuo: Superb medical skills but killed
In that war-torn era, a miracle doctor with superb medical skills shocked the world. He is Hua Tuo, a figure who has had a profound impact on the development of the entire Chinese civilization.
When he was a teenager, Hua Tuo gave up his career and devoted himself to studying medicine, and his footprints were all over the country. He specializes in surgery and was one of the first doctors in the world to record the use of general anesthesia for surgical treatment. At that time, surgery was still an extremely dangerous field, and many patients died during the operation.
However, with his excellent medical skills and rich experience, Hua Tuo is able to easily perform complex surgeries for patients with a very high success rate. He developed "Ma Boiling Powder" to save patients from pain during surgery, which was a major medical breakthrough at the time.
Not only that, Hua Tuo is also good at health preservation, and he is over half a hundred years old but looks like a teenager, and is known as an "immortal". In that turbulent era, many people were deeply afflicted by illness, but as long as he turned to Hua Tuo, he could always rejuvenate and save countless lives.
At that time, jaundice was raging among the people, and Hua Tuo finally developed a cure for it in three years, saving countless people, and his reputation was greatly enhanced. Hua Tuo's medical skills were so superb that the princes at that time were in awe. Cao Cao suffered from a severe head stroke in his later years, and when he heard of Hua Tuo's name, he asked him to treat himself.
Sure enough, under Hua Tuo's careful conditioning, Cao Cao's condition improved. However, Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, suspecting that Hua Tuo just wanted to stay in the court and wait for death. In order to avoid suffering, Hua Tuo had to leave Cao Cao's command under the pretext that his wife was sick.
Cao Cao sent someone to investigate, found that Hua Tuo's wife was not sick, and in a fit of rage, he arrested Hua Tuo and put him in prison, and was finally brutally murdered at the age of 64. It is really embarrassing that this miracle doctor with superb medical skills was brutally killed like this.
Soon after, Cao Cao's baby son Cao Chong was seriously ill, and he invited the world's famous doctors but none of them could cure him, and Cao Cao regretted killing Hua Tuo in the first place. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and he can only watch his beloved son die. This is a heavy blow to Cao Cao, and it is also a cruel retribution to Hua Tuo.
2. White Horse General Pound: Loyal and brave but killed
In the turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms, there was a loyal and brave general, known as the "White Horse General" - Pang De. He has followed famous generals such as Ma Teng and Ma Chao, and has made countless achievements. Ma Teng was a famous warlord in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and occupied a place in the political landscape of the time.
Marten appreciated Pound's military prowess and soon promoted him to an important general. In the process of following Ma Teng to fight, Pound made a lot of feats with his extraordinary bravery and strategic strategy, and won Ma Teng's trust.
Later, Ma Teng was recruited by Cao Cao as a guard lieutenant, and Pang De followed Ma Teng's son Ma Chao to serve. Although Ma Chao is also a generation of famous generals, he is arrogant and arrogant, and never thinks about the consequences of doing things, which eventually led to the parting of ways between the two. And Pang De did not follow Ma Chao, but chose to remain loyal to Cao Cao.
Pang De took refuge in Cao Cao and was soon appreciated and promoted by Cao Cao. When Guan Yu launched the Battle of Xiangfan, Pang De took the initiative to ask Ying to fight, and in several encounters with Guan Yu, he even shot Guan Yu in one of his arms, and he was extremely brave. This greatly stimulated Guan Yu's self-esteem and made him develop a deep hatred for Pound.
However, a heavy rain caused the river to swell, and Guan Yu took the opportunity to dig the embankment and drown Pang De's army. Pang De was finally captured by Guan Yusheng, although Guan Yu wanted to give him a chance, Pang Dening refused to give in and was finally killed by Guan Yu.
Pound's death sowed a deep hatred for his son Pound. Later, Pang Hui followed Deng Ai's army to destroy Shu Han, and this vicious circle of vendetta brought great turmoil to the pattern of the Three Kingdoms.
3. Martial Saint Guan Yu: Brave and fearless but ill-fated
Guan Yu, a fierce general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was known as the "Taoyuan Three Alliances" with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. He was brave and fearless, made many military exploits, and was respected as the "martial saint". Guan Yu has been quite skilled in martial arts since he was a child, and when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, he saw that Liu Bei was organizing a volunteer army, so he took the initiative to join.
At this time, he became acquainted with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and the three became brothers in Taoyuan, and began a legendary journey. After the pacification of the Yellow Turban Army, the three brothers all had official positions. Once, Cao Cao sent troops to attack Liu Bei, Liu Bei stayed in Xiaopei, and Guan Yu was stationed in Xiapi.
In the fierce battle, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei eventually failed and fled, while Guan Yu was outnumbered and eventually captured by Cao Cao. Cao Cao knew Guan Yu's martial arts and character very well, and he was very happy to hear that Guan Yu was caught. He decided to influence Guan Yu and win him over to join his camp.
But Guan Yu politely rejected Cao Cao's kindness, and then in order to repay Cao Cao, he helped him kill the heroic Yan Liang. Cao Cao rewarded and sealed the official for this, but these were not important to Guan Yu, so he left a letter for Cao Cao and left, and went to Liu Bei again.
Later, Liu Bei succeeded in establishing the Shu Han regime, while Guan Yu was stationed in Jingzhou, an important territory of the Shu Han and the front line against Eastern Wu and Cao Wei. After Liu Bei became queen, Guan Yu launched the famous Battle of Xiangfan against Cao Wei in response to Liu Bei's call.
With his military talent and powerful power, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, captured Yu Ban, and beheaded Pang De, achieving brilliant results. However, just when Guan Yu was proud and complacent, Sun Quan took advantage of the situation and sent Lü Meng to lead an army to attack Jingzhou.
Guan Yu hurriedly returned, but was ambushed by Sun Quan's army halfway. After a fierce battle, Guan Yu was finally captured. Sun Quan originally wanted to persuade Guan Yu to surrender, but Guan Yu would rather die than give in, and was finally ordered to be killed by Sun Quan and fell.
Liu Bei was grief-stricken when he learned the bad news, and launched a war against Eastern Wu in order to avenge it, but ultimately lost. This defeat also hit Liu Bei hard, and he died soon after. Guan Yu's death has had a profound impact on the entire Three Kingdoms pattern, and his death is a pity.
epilogue
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many heroes, but fate was often ruthless. Hua Tuo, Pang De, and Guan Yu, these three characters could have rewritten history, but in the end they were unjustly killed and became a regret of history.
The encounters of these three characters reflect the cruelty and complexity of human nature in the war-torn era at that time. If they hadn't been killed, perhaps the course of the history of the Three Kingdoms would have been different and more exciting.
Their stories remind us of the horrible killing of innocent people. We should all the more bear in mind the lessons of history, cherish the era of peace, and avoid the recurrence of tragedies.
