Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Xu Zhen, Cao Junzhi. The first general, Cai Yang, raised his sword and shouted, "You killed my nephew Qin Qi, but you fled here!" I'm here to get you!" Guan Gong did not even speak, and raised his knife and cut it. Zhang Fei personally beat the drum. Only to see that a drum was not finished, where Guan Gong's knife was raised, Cai Yang's head had landed on the ground.
In the rendition, Cai Yang Qianli pursued and killed Guan Yu, but was killed by Guan Yu in a drum. As early as when Guan Yu left Cao's camp, Cai Yang was not convinced, and took the initiative to ask Cao Cao for help, wanting to lead 3,000 cavalry to pursue and kill Guan Yu. Cao Cao exclaimed, "Don't forget the old lord, come and go to understand, the true husband is also." Ru and so on should be effective. He reprimanded Cai Yang and forbade everyone, including Cai Yang, to pursue and kill Guan Yu.
After Guan Yu rode alone and killed Cai Yang's nephew Qin Qi, Cai Yang really couldn't help it. Taking advantage of the opportunity to attack Liu Pei in Runan, he changed his route to pursue guan Yu and caught up with Guan Yu outside the ancient city, shouting for Guan Yu to die and paying his nephew Qin Qi for his life. Guan Yu was misunderstood by Zhang Fei at that time, and was believed to have defected, surrendered to Cao Cao, and now came to earn Zhang Fei. Therefore, Zhang Fei did not listen to Guan Yu's explanation, and even the words of the two sisters-in-law did not listen, and it was a spear. If it wasn't for Guan Yu's quick eyes, he might have been killed by Zhang Fei.
Now, Cai Yang was chasing and killing Guan Yu for thousands of miles, and just sent him to the door. Guan Yu was glad that it was too late, so he showed his might and went to fight Cai Yang. Zhang Fei personally beat the drum, and if Guan Yu could kill Cai Yang in the three-way drum, it would prove that Guan Yu had not surrendered to the enemy. Guan Yu held his breath and cut Cai Yang under his horse in a drum time. Zhang Fei saw that the second brother Guan Yu was clean and neat, and killed Cao Cao's general Cai Yang, which made him know that he had misunderstood, so he apologized to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu captured several of Cai Yang's minions, and through interrogation, learned that Cai Yang had been sent by Cao Cao to Runan to eliminate Liu Pei, but he had changed his route privately and came to hunt him down. Cai Yang's death belongs to the blame, even if he dies, it is also a white death, but it solves Zhang Fei's misunderstanding of Guan Yu, and it can be regarded as a death.
In the history of Zheng, Cai Yang did not die at the hands of Guan Yu, but was killed by Liu Bei. According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei to Runan, where he surrendered Gong Du and Liu Pei of the Yellow Turban Yu Dang, and harassed Cao Cao's rear as a partial teacher. Cao Cao then sent the general Cai Yang to Runan, where he consulted Liu Bei and swept away his worries. It is recorded below:
Shao sent his soldiers back to Runan, where he joined forces with the thief Gong Du and thousands of people. Cao Gong sent Cai Yang to attack him, and was killed by the ancestors.
Therefore, in the history of zhengshi, Cai Yang was not killed by Guan Yu, but died at the hands of Liu Bei. In the history of zhengyi, there is no matter of the two sides being singled out, and Liu Bei will not risk his life to go head-to-head with Cai Yang, so Cai Yang was defeated and killed by Liu Bei's soldiers. Then, obviously Liu Bei's army killed Cai Yang, why did Luo Guanzhong arrange for Guan Yu to kill Cai Yang instead of arranging for Liu Bei to kill Cai Yang? There are three reasons for this.
First, Guan Yu killed Cai Yang and solved Zhang Fei's misunderstanding of Guan Yu.
Guan Yu was surprised to learn that the third brother Zhang Fei had settled in the ancient city, and was ecstatic and prepared to go to the capital, but was misunderstood by Zhang Fei. At that time, Guan Yu really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away, and he couldn't fight zhang Fei's real knife and gun to the death. Guan Yu explained that if he had come to capture Zhang Fei, why not lead the army. At this time, Cai Yang chased after him for thousands of miles, which deepened Zhang Fei's misunderstanding of Guan Yu. Guan Yu was happy in his heart, he only needed to go and kill Cai Yang to explain the misunderstanding. This is the need of the plot, so Luo Guanzhong counted Cai Yang's death on Guan Yu's body.
Second, Guan Yu killed Cai Yang, highlighting Guan Yu's martial prowess.
Guan Yu is a martial arts general in the rendition, and after getting the Red Rabbit Horse, he killed Yan Liang and Wen Ugly in seconds. He is the "martial saint" of the future generations, and killing Cai Yang is naturally hand-to-hand. And Liu Bei was the prince of benevolence, the commander of the first army, not a general who charged into the battlefield. His martial arts are mainly used for self-defense and physical exercise, and are not suitable for killing enemy generals in the interpretation. Therefore, Luo Guanzhong counted Cai Yang's death on Guan Yu's head.
Third, Liu Bei's martial arts are not necessarily higher than Cai Yang's.
Cai Yang in the rendition can say things that are not convinced of Guan Yu, make a military order in front of Cao Cao, and hunt down and kill Guan Yu, which shows that his martial arts are not ordinary. Therefore, Liu Bei may not be able to kill Cai Yang. If he wanted to kill Cai Yang, Guan Yu at his peak could do it.
epilogue
Cai Yang in the rendition is too flaunting his martial prowess, does not know how to restrain himself, and it is very normal to be killed. Even if he wasn't killed by Guan Yu, he would be killed by someone else. Cai Yang chased and killed Guan Yu, but was killed by Guan Yu and made a big joke. Cai Yang, who is in history, was sent by Cao Cao to conquest Liu Bei, and was defeated and killed, which was the destination of the soldiers, and Ma Ge was only wrapped in corpses. We should pay tribute to Cai Yang in the history of Zhengyi and despise Cai Yang in the interpretation.
