If Liu Feng and Meng Da went to the aid, Guan Yu might have recovered a life, but a big defeat was inevitable. Why? Tsujo Muyu and everyone to take a look.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > First of all, Guan Yu's tragedy stemmed from reversing too quickly. </h1>
Guan Yu was so imposing during the Northern Expedition to Xiangfan, flooding the Seventh Army and shaking the Central Plains, Cao Cao had the idea of moving the capital. But Guan Yu's failure was very fast, too fast to react, too fast to escape.
Guan Yu's defeat, a defeat is uncontrollable, mainly because the rear left too few troops, and quickly fell, and guan Yu led the army after several months of fighting, has long been very tired, belongs to the end of the crossbow, when Cao Cao sent troops to support Xiangfan, Guan Yu lost morale as soon as he was defeated, and the soldiers collapsed.
If it were not for the dead base area in the rear, if it were not for the eastern Wu's hospitality of Guan Yu's Jingzhou soldiers who surrendered and the psychological offensive launched against Guan Yu's defeated army, Guan Yu's army would not have collapsed so quickly.
Guan Yu had always been victorious in many battles and full of victory horns in his mind; now he collapsed directly after just one defeat, which made Guan Yu have no time to react, or even to escape.
If Guan Yu immediately realized the situation of the crisis when he was defeated at the Xiangfan front and quickly made the correct retreat route, with Guan Yu's strength, there was still a great hope of escape.
But the battle situation reversed too quickly, Guan Yu's reaction was not so fast, at first Guan Yu still wanted to retreat south, or even recover the lost land, but when he learned that the back road was completely out of the way, there were very few people around him, and when he fled from Maicheng, there were only a dozen horses left, and finally he was captured and beheaded by Eastern Wu.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > Second, Guan Yu's defeat was inevitable, and the Shangyong army was not enough to solve the dilemma. </h1>
At that time, Guan Yu's defeat was too fast, the soldiers had no combat effectiveness and quickly collapsed, and at that time, Liu Bei's group was relatively close to Guan Yu, meng Da and Liu Feng in Shangyong, if they sent troops to help, could they change the dilemma?
The answer was no, because cao cao's army was already assembled in the north, Sun Quan in the south had already occupied the three counties of Jingzhou, and Guan Yu's army had collapsed to a negligible degree, and relying on the shangyong army alone was not enough to solve the dilemma.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > third, if there is a response, Guan Yu has a high probability of escape. </h1>
So if Liu Feng and Meng Da lead the Shangyong army to meet them, can they rescue Guan Yu? Actually, it's okay.
At that time, Guan Yu's defeat was so fast, which had a lot to do with the rapid collapse of the soldiers, if Guan Yu's defeated army did not lose morale, Guan Yu would not be so miserable even if he failed, at least it was okay to save one life. When Guan Yu was captured and killed, he only had a dozen horses around him, and if there were hundreds or thousands of people, it would not be so.
If the Shangyong army came to meet Guan Yu, this situation would not occur, after all, the Shangyong army was not directly affected by the battle situation at that time, and still maintained morale, which belonged to the fresh force, and there was still a great possibility of being used to break through.
Therefore, if Liu Feng and Meng Da led the Shangyong army to receive Guan Yu, although they could not change the overall situation, it was still very possible to rescue Guan Yu.
What do you think about this? What kind of new situation do you think shangyongbing will be when he receives Guan Yu?
