Because Guan Yu was born in a reckless manner, he said that he was arrogant and conceited, rather than inferior. During the jingzhou period, he disdained the second master of the middle and upper class noble officers in the army, and also looked down on him. For middle and lower-level officers, such as Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Guan Ping, etc., they were relatively close, which led to a very poor control over Jingzhou. When the Second Master flooded the Seventh Army in the front, Lu Xun crossed the river in white, and the nobles in Jingzhou in the rear did not resist and quickly surrendered. Zhang Fei, who was from the local Hao clan, was relatively close to the middle and upper-class aristocratic officers in the military, but scolded the middle- and lower-level officers, and as a result, they were killed.
Secondly, Guan Yu's arrogance is also true, and he has great qualifications and old ability. At that time, he was also the second boss of the JiHan Group, so it was somewhat inflated, and Liu Bei took the lead in favoring Guan Yu, resulting in Guan Yu being even more blind, and he did not handle allies, subordinates, and opponents well. My daughter can marry a son of power! It is estimated that he was added later, but Guan Yu's insults to Eastern Wu envoys were true. Guan Yu scolded his subordinates even more fiercely, causing Meng Da's generation to defect. Cao Wei did not make a good battle plan, originally thought that the Battle of Xiangfan could be won quickly, cao Wei would definitely flee in the wind, and as a result, he fought for more than half a year. Moreover, in terms of personality, he is still very thoughtful in his usual treatment, but he will show an arrogant posture in front of the scholars, which is related to his stereotype of the group of scholars.
He treated his son very harshly and treated his military academy more tolerantly, so the soldiers loved him very much. He had two relatively big flaws in his personality: competitiveness and great success, which may have been a common problem of the strong people of that era. Of course, later facts also proved one point: because of these two personality problems, he made a seemingly correct but actually wrong decision at the wrong time and in the wrong place, which made him suffer the biggest failure in his life. In addition, Guan Yu followed Liu Bei upside down and fled, and the experience of getting up and down again was too much, Liu Bei could stand up every time, he would also stand up, over time, what dangers and desperate situations have also been seen, naturally will not be afraid of any danger. This experience and stubbornness of constantly failing but constantly standing up will bring a person a kind of self-confidence, a kind of confidence that is not afraid of any difficulties: it is just falling, and then standing up again.
When Guan Yu was cornered, Liu Bei took Guan Yu in and gave him extremely high courtesy. Therefore, Guan Yu had a deep affection for Liu Bei and never abandoned him throughout his life, because Liu Bei took him in when he was in distress. In fact, for Liu Bei, as the eldest brother, he needs talents like Guan Yu, because Guan Yu knows a little poetry and is brave, and he has committed crimes and cannot find other ways out, so he can only eat with the boss with his heart. Guan Yu was born a fugitive, left his hometown and traveled south to the north, and saw the suffering of many sentient beings before he understood that under the persecution of officials, the people were forced to rebel, and he knew that the chaotic world at the end of the Han Dynasty was the incompetence and inhumanity of the upper-class scholars. Without the evil deeds of the upper-class scholars, there would be no burning and plundering of soldiers and bandits.
Therefore, he is sympathetic to the soldiers and proud of the scholars. But the level of the scholar is higher than him, he also kneels and licks (there are very few people like that), the soldier is too asshole, he does not need to endure, directly super high-speed beheading, Zhang Fei at least knows to draw the whip first. Zhang Fei, on the other hand, was born in a simple environment, hated the soldiers and bandits who brutalized civilians the most, had never met a few intellectuals, and had to kneel and lick all the scholars. After all, even if the other party is incompetent who only knows ten words, Zhang Fei still has to ask for someone else, and he really doesn't know those ten words.
In addition, Guan Yu can ask Xu Huang on the battlefield that we are brothers, how can you want to cut me? He can be unscrupulous and hard to intimidate Sun Quan, he can scare Mi Fang Lao Zi to turn around and cut you, without the slightest consideration of what the other party will think, in his eyesight, the world should be the same as his, but in fact it is not. Therefore, Guan Yu is a talent of the general XiongHu, and there are few people in the world who can match him, but when you give him all the land of a state and take on the aspect, his arrogant and upright personality will lead to disastrous consequences in diplomacy and personnel management.
In the end, Guan Yu is a ranger in his bones, heavy on righteousness, and he is not arrogant, but sees through the decay of the ruling class. He weighs the grassroots and the light. Such a person in New China must be a positive figure with a positive root. Guan Yu and other loyalists are not as superficial as you think. If Cao Cao really supported the Han Chamber, it was absolutely possible that Guan Yu would have a heart with Cao Cao. Because his loyalty is the Han Room, brotherhood will not override the love of the country. Throughout the Three Kingdoms, none of the princes born of the scholar clan took the grass and mustard as a matter of course, only Liu Bei, who was born at the bottom and was well aware of the sufferings of the people. Not understanding the abyss rift between the bottom of the Han Dynasty and the scholars, is unable to understand that guan Yu and Liu Bei are spiritual resonances, idealistic comrades. Zhang Fei's relationship with Guan Yu is definitely not as good as it seems. This is derived from their fundamental differences of ideas.
