How could Guan Yunchang have regrets?

Liu Feng refused to rescue behind it

Guan Yu led the remnants of the army into Maicheng, divided the troops to guard the four gates, and gathered the generals to discuss strategies to get out of trouble. Zhao Lei said that this place is relatively close to Shangyong, and the existing generals Liu Feng and Meng Da are guarding there. We can immediately send someone to them for help. If we can get the support of the Shangyong people and horses, and then wait for the arrival of the sichuan army, the chaotic military spirit at present will naturally be stable.

Guan Yu took Zhao Lei's advice. The general Liao Hua took the initiative to ask for orders to break through to Shangyong for help. Guan Yu personally wrote a letter to Liao Hua to hide next to him, that is, he carefully hid it. For the sake of safety, Guan Ping also personally escorted Liao Hua out of the city. Life hangs on the line, and all hope is on the mediocre.

Moreover, it is said that the Shangyong defenders Liu Feng and Meng Da "discovered that Guan Yu's army was defeated that day, and the two were discussing and ignoring Liao Huazhi." Luo Guanzhong used the word "exploration" here, which should not be underestimated. What do you mean? It shows that in the course of Guan Yu's attack on Fancheng, there have always been various spies from Western Shu who have paid close attention to the movements on the battlefield.

It is not difficult to imagine that there are spies of Shangyong and spies of Chengdu. Shangyong's spies reported what they had learned to Liu Feng and Meng Da. Naturally, the spies in Chengdu naturally reported the situation to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. The explicit writing is mediocre, but in fact it is secretly connected to Chengdu.

Now that Guan Yu's army was defeated, Liu Feng and Meng Da did not receive any instructions from Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to support Guan Yu, and of course did not dare to send troops to rescue them without authorization. Now that Liao Hua had come, Liu Feng had to ask what the situation was.

"Guan Gong's army was defeated and is now trapped in Maicheng, and is besieged to the extreme. Reinforcements from Central Shu could not arrive overnight. A special order broke out and came here for help. General Wang'er quickly raised his troops to save the danger. If there is a slight delay, the public will fall into ruin. "Guan Gong suffered a defeat and was surrounded in Maicheng, and the situation was 100,000 fierce. Our rescuers in Chengdu can't catch up with them for a day or two. Guan Gong ordered me to break through and ask you for help. I hope you will quickly raise troops to save the country. Can't wait a moment. Even if you delay a little, Guan Gong will be finished. Liao Hua was crying as he spoke.

"The general rests, and allows a certain plan." General, rest first, give us a little time, let us discuss and see what should be done about this matter. Obviously, Liao Hua's predicament is exactly the same as the situation reported by the spies. Therefore, Liu Feng did not feel a little surprised.

After settling Liao Hua, Liu Feng asked Meng Da: "Uncle is trapped, why not?" "My uncle is trapped, what should we do?" According to common sense, he should say that the Second Prince Guan Yu was trapped, didn't the King of Hanzhong know? Why hasn't there been an order for our rescue yet? Could it be because they didn't get the report? Should we immediately report such a serious situation to the King of Hanzhong?

Yes, not a word was said as it should have been said. We should not think that Liu Feng does not understand reason, but because everyone has different degrees of tacit understanding of Liu Bei's intention to cut off Guan Yu, it is really needless to say or needless to say.

Needless to say, or to say. Guan Yu is my uncle after all? Purely from the point of view of conscience, can I, the nephew, stand idly by?

Meng Da told Liu Feng that the Eastern Wu soldiers were brave, and all nine counties of Jingzhou were occupied by them, leaving only Maicheng, which was just a land of bullets. I also heard that Cao Cao personally supervised the army of 400,000 and 500,000 people in Mopi; how could we, a small number of mountain city soldiers, be able to defeat the strong soldiers of the two families? Don't take it lightly.

Meng Da not only knew that Guan Yu was defeated at the moment, but also knew the battlefield situation of the entire Battle of Xiangfan. He clearly told Liu Feng that this point of Shangyong alone was not at all an opponent of the two strong enemies of Wei and Wu. The implication is that if you want to rescue, it should also be Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang personally leading the army to come.

Why did Meng Da, like Liu Feng, not mention Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang at all? The reason is the same as Liu Feng, needless to say, needless to say.

Liu Feng's next reaction was amusing. He said, I know all these things you said (including what we didn't explicitly say), but Guan Yu is my uncle after all. How could I watch him die like that?

Meng Da seemed to have expected that Liu Feng would have such uneasiness, so he laughed and said: "The general takes Guan Gong as his uncle, and I am afraid that Guan Gong may not take the general as his nephew." "You think of him as an uncle, but he may not treat you as a nephew." I heard that when the King of Hanzhong first recognized you as a righteous son, Guan Yu was not happy. Later, when the king of Hanzhong became king, when discussing the establishment of the heir (successor), he asked Kong Ming (Zhuge Liang) how to arrange it. Kong Ming said that this was a family affair, and it was enough to ask Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The King of Hanzhong sent people to Jingzhou to ask Guan Yu. Guan Yu said that you are the son of a borer, a son from outside, and you should never be made an heir. Not only could you not be made an heir, but he also advised the King of Hanzhong to place you far away in a remote place like ShangyongShancheng to avoid future troubles. He's afraid you'll rebel. Everyone knows this, don't you know? How can you still talk to him today about someone's uncle and nephew's righteousness, and are still willing to risk lightly moving soldiers and horses for him?

All That Meng Da said was confidential. But why is such a confidential matter known to everyone? Do we see the figure of a certain high-ranking person from Meng Da's words? Isn't fanning the flames, spreading the news, and dividing the discord exactly the usual tricks of this high-ranking man?

Gao Ren had long expected that Guan Yu might flee to Shangyong when he encountered great danger, or send someone to Shangyong for help. Liu Feng may not be able to erase the righteousness of his uncle and nephew, and he will lead his troops to rush into the battlefield of Xiangfan. In order to prevent this from happening, to prevent Liu Feng from disrupting their ingenious arrangements on a whim, the high man had already prepared such a statement and was waiting for Liu Feng.

There was no doubt that Meng Da's words were lethal to Liu Feng. But after all, Liu Feng was still conscience and shame: I know what you said, and they are very reasonable. But what should we say to Liao Hua?

This is simple, you say that our mountain city has just been captured, the people's hearts are undecided, and the situation is still very complicated. If we take the liberty of raising troops, we will not even lose the mountain city. Meng Da is a wise multi-star who has escaped alive.

Liu Feng dragged on until the next day to invite Liao Hua, and according to Meng Da's wishes, bluntly said that he could not send troops. Liao Hua prostrated his head and cried, "If so, then Guan Gong will be suspended!" "If you don't come to the rescue, Guan Gong will die." Meng Da followed Liao Hua's words and said a very meaningful word. He said, even if we divide our troops to save you today, with a glass of water, we will not be able to save a car of fire. A drop in the bucket won't help. General, you should go back quickly, and wait there for the Shu soldiers to come to your rescue.

Meng Da's few words are actually quite damaged. He didn't want to carry a black cauldron that could not be saved, but there were words in his words, he wanted to wake up Liao Hua and stop dreaming, shu soldiers were coming early, do you want you to go for help? Go back and wait for the Shu soldiers."

Liao Hua obviously couldn't understand such a vague reminder, and he continued to plead while crying. Liu Feng and Meng Da were no longer in the mood to enlighten this stupid general who was obstinate, and they all whisked away. In the end, Liao Hua did not understand Meng Da's hint, and thought that the only way to go to the King of Hanzhong was a way to live, so he went out of the city and looked forward to Chengdu.

Like Ma Liang and Yi Yuan, who went to Chengdu for help the previous time, Liao Hua also went to the sea without news. At this point, we are deeply shuddered by the cruelty and ruthlessness of the power struggle of the Western Shu clique. How could Luo Guanzhong's predecessors praise Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang as saints and sages? Not only will they not be praised, but on the contrary, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is full of revelations and disgust for their hypocrisy and treachery.

For the sake of power and interests, this gang of chaotic adulterers and males has committed adultery, deceived the world and stolen names, said anything good, and done all bad things. In fact, under the pretext of li heir, he deliberately buried the vendetta between Guan Yu and Liu Feng. Under the circumstances that everyone knew, letting Liu Feng arrive near Guan Yu's garrison of Jingzhou to block Guan Yu's passage into Sichuan was also part of a series of ruse by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to frame Guan Yu.

In the end, they actually blamed Guan Yu's death on Liu Feng and Meng Da, forcing Meng Da to leave his hometown and defect to Cao Wei. He also designed to let Liu Feng fight with Meng Da, and finally killed Liu Feng. What they do is inferior to that of beasts, and they are garbage in the process of civilization. Although it is difficult to avoid, it is necessary to carefully distinguish and deal with it properly so as not to pollute the mind.

It was no accident that Guan Yu was captured and beheaded

Speaking of Guan Yu, trapped in Maicheng, the grain and grass are gradually exhausted, and there is no news of the rescue soldiers. Under the hardships and hardships, Guan Yu's mind appeared to admit his mistakes and repent, and a little spark of hope flashed. He said to Wang Fu, "I regret that I did not need to speak publicly in the past. Today's crisis, what will happen? "I regret not listening to you in the first place. Now that it's really critical, is there anything you can do? Wang Fu cried and told Guan Yu that in this situation, even if Jiang Ziya regenerated, there was nothing he could do.

Zhao Lei still had some calmness, and analyzed that if the Shangyong rescue soldiers did not come, it was that Liu Feng and Meng Da did not want to rescue them. We can no longer sit here and wait, but should try to break through and go back to Nishikawa to summon people and horses to make a comeback.

Guan Yu took Zhao Lei's advice. Unfortunately, he was captured by Wu Bing during the breakout.

Sun Quan was promoted to the account, and in the face of Guan Yu, who was tied up with a rope, he did not personally go forward to untie the rope, let alone go forward to salute, saying that he had offended Hu Wei. In addition to sneering at you, "You used to think that the world was invincible, why were you captured by me today?", he also deliberately said two words on the face, "Now I want to treat you with courtesy and persuade him to surrender." When zuo Xian, the master bookkeeper, said that this person "if he does not get rid of it immediately, he is afraid of the consequences", he only made a slight groan, and then decisively pushed Guan Yu's father and son out of the head. In the process, none of the Eastern Wu accounts interceded for Guan Yu. Even if it was a show to be imprisoned, the Eastern Wu Junchen did not bother to be perfunctory.

From Guan Yu's point of view, a hero in his life, and finally ended up with such a death method is undoubtedly very humiliating.

In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", before Guan Yu broke through, he also wrote a plot in which Zhuge Jin entered the city to persuade him to surrender, but guan Yu strictly refused, which can be described as well-intentioned. Whether it was Luo Guanzhong's predecessor Yu Who couldn't bear it, or whether someone deliberately smeared grease and powdered Guan Yu because he admired guan Yu's loyalty and courage, we really don't know.

There is a basic situation that we must not forget. That is, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", like "Dream of the Red Chamber", has been continuously added to its circulation process, so that there are many inconsistencies. Although the Battle of Xiangfan has also been added to the branches and leaves, adding some impassioned lines to Guan Yu, it is fortunate that it has maintained the consistency of Luo Guanzhong's ideological logic on the whole, so we will be so thrilling to read.
