Guan Yu was a famous general in the Three Kingdoms period, and he was also Liu Bei's sworn brother, and he was also a fierce general that Cao Cao dreamed of. Objectively speaking, Guan Yu has many advantages, such as incomparable bravery, loyalty and righteousness, and he also has good military ability. Cutting Huaxiong, Miaoyan Liang, and Xuwen Chou are all Guan Yu's representative achievements. Before the Bishui Pass, before Lu Bu made a move, Hua Xiong was already frightened and the princes were at a loss. Fortunately, Guan Yu stepped forward later, and under the pressure of most people's doubts, he easily seconded Hua Xiong and showed off his hand. It was also from this time that Guan Yu gradually became famous.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao tore each other apart, and the two sides dispatched a "star lineup", such as Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Chun Yuqiong and other famous generals all participated in the battle, but the person who really showed his face was Guan Yu Guan Yunchang. Although Xu Huang looked fierce, Yan Liang easily defeated him. Even if Zhang Liao is very brave, he and Xu Huang together can't take advantage of Wen Chou. In the 2 battles of Baima and Yanjin, Yan Liang and Wen Chou showed off for a while, and then Guan Yu directly killed them. That's it. Yan Liang and Wen Chou became Guan Yu's experience package, but Guan Yu became a world-famous general.
It can be seen that Guan Yu is indeed very brave. In fact, he was not only brave, but also known for his loyalty. Since the Taoyuan uprising, Guan Yu has really regarded Liu Bei and Zhang Fei as brothers. Even though Guan Yu was forced to surrender to Cao Cao, he did not forget to inquire about Liu Bei's whereabouts. Just after Guan Yu knew Liu Bei's whereabouts, he did not hesitate to seal the gold, and also staged a good show of killing six generals in five levels and riding alone for thousands of miles. Later, even if Zhang Fei wanted to kill Guan Yu because of a misunderstanding, Guan Yu did not blame the other party, and later the misunderstanding was resolved, and Liu Guanzhang reunited, and the picture was quite touching.
It can be seen that Guan Yu is extremely brave and loyal. However, Guan Yu also has a fatal flaw, that is, he looks down on people too much. It is precisely because Guan Yu is so capable that he looks down on people a little. Sun Quangui was a prince of one side, but in Guan Yu's eyes, he was just a "blue-eyed child"; Cao Ren was unstoppable and had the style of a general, but Guan Yu regarded him as a "rat generation"; Huang Zhong's military strength reached the super-first-class, but Guan Yu thought he was an old pawn. It can be seen that Guan Yu's vision is too high, and it is difficult to enter his eyes without extraordinary skills.
However, Guan Yu also has objects that he can look at. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei needless to say, this is his sworn brother. Originally, Guan Yu looked down on Zhuge Liang, but the latter also won Guan Yu's respect with his extraordinary wisdom. However, except for Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, there are only a handful of people who can be regarded as brothers with Guan Yu. On Cao Ying's side, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and Guan Yu have the best relationship, but these two people can't be brothers with Lao Guan because of their different positions. In the first battle of Jingzhou, Xu Huang cleared up their relationship with a sentence of "dare not abolish the public with private interests". Zhang Liao is just a friend, not a brother.
Some people say that Guan Yu doesn't regard Zhao Yun as a brother? Zhao Yun is low-key, brave, loyal and kind, and is also regarded as a brother by Guan Yu. Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, and later appointed himself as the king of Hanzhong, and named Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao as five tiger generals. Guan Yu directly commented on Zhao Yun: "Zilong has been with my brother for a long time, that is, my brother is also ......" It can be seen that Guan Yu recognizes Zhao Yun very much and is willing to treat the other party as a brother. But Lao Zhao may not take Guan Yu as his brother. Judging from the description of the romance, Zhao Yun has never called Brother Guan Yu, and at the same time, he does not have too deep feelings with the other party, it seems that it is just a colleague relationship. Later, Liu Bei wanted to take revenge, but Zhao Yun was the first to come forward to oppose it, while Zhang Fei insisted on revenge. It can be seen that the relationship between several people jumps on the paper.
Comparatively speaking, the only person who can really be regarded as Guan Yu's brother is Zhou Cang. Although Zhou Cang was born in the Yellow Turban Army, he was also a loyal person. After knowing Guan Yu's reputation, he immediately became Guan Yu's little fan brother, and he had to follow the other party, and even said that as long as he could carry a big knife, he would do it. Later, Zhou Cang has been following Guan Yu, such as going to the meeting with a single knife, and he will never give up after defeating Maicheng. Mai Cheng said goodbye, Guan Yu and Zhou Cang "cried goodbye", the scene was very touching. In fact, Guan Yu did not treat Zhou Cang as a follower. also treats him as a brother, otherwise there would be no picture of "crying goodbye". In addition, Zhou Cang was really willing to give his life for Guan Yu. After Guan Yu's death, Zhou Cang would rather cut himself on the castle tower than surrender.
