Guan Yu was a warrior in the Three Kingdoms period, and became a folk script as the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms matured during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The characters in romance of the Three Kingdoms begin to be vividly represented from romance of the Three Kingdoms.
From now on, although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is "interpreted", with its rich characters and wonderful plot descriptions, it has successfully overpowered the reputation of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Among them, the representative Zhongyi second only to Zhuge Liang in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the character who was later canonized as a god was Guan Yu. Guan Yu (关羽), also spelled Yunchang, was later honored as Guan Gong. Guan Gong's hometown of Shanxi, killed the bully in his hometown, went out to escape and met Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and befriended the two brothers. In this way, the three brothers worked hard all the way and finally established the Shu Kingdom.
Judging from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu's loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled throughout his life, and his fame shocks the world. Guan Yu is a superior military general in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in terms of force, and he has wisdom and strategy. But in the end, it lost Maicheng. After the defeat of Fancheng's army, why did Guan Yu abandon Shangyong and go to Maicheng?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" > First, Guan Yu cannot go to the mediocre</h1>
Since the ancient soldiers, they all like to fight for favorable situations and help themselves to succeed. How can Liu Bei finally unify the world? The most important thing is to occupy favorable conditions, when Liu Bei did not have a base area, Zhuge Liang was still in the grass, Zhuge Liang presented Liu Bei with "Longzhong Pair", "Longzhong Pair" is Zhuge Liang's grand strategic plan for Liu Bei.
Since Zhuge Liang came out of the mountains, he helped Liu Bei to collect Erchuan, borrowed Jingzhou, and helped Liu Bei fulfill his promise in "Longzhong Pair" step by step. Liu Bei also became the "King of Hanzhong" from a farmer who knitted straw shoes. The most important step strategy in the "Longzhong Pair" is to wait until cao Cao's forces are in internal chaos, and the Shu state can attack Cao Cao from Jingzhou in two ways, and finally complete the unification of most of the motherland.
By the time Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army in Fancheng and shook the world, Zhuge Liang's strategy seemed to be close to success. At this time, zhuge liang could complete the task as long as he stabilized the situation in Jingzhou and withdrew from Jingzhou, and when Cao Cao was in internal chaos, Liu Bei could recover the world. However, Guan Yu was very arrogant after the victory and decided to abandon the defense of his old base of Jingzhou and continue north to take Fancheng. As long as Fancheng was taken, it was equivalent to opening the gate south of Cao Cao.
As Guan Yu's power grew, Sun Quan's jealousy of Guan Yu became deeper and deeper. Originally, Sun Quan and Liu Bei jointly allied against Cao Cao, but Guan Yu's continuous northward advance made Sun Quan very jealous. If Guan Yu completely opened up Fancheng, then Northern Wei, where Cao Cao was located, would also receive a great threat, and once Northern Wei failed, the next step would be the destruction of Sun Quan's Wu state.
Sun Quan could no longer sit idly by and watch Guan Yu's success, and he sent Lü Meng. Lü Meng took advantage of Guan Yu's arrogance and disregarded his rear safety to rush to attack Fancheng. Lü Meng soon led an army to occupy Guan Yu's rear, Jingzhou. The loss of Jingzhou was a major failure for Guan Yu, and almost all the soldiers who had been stationed in Jingzhou were transferred to the front line by Guan Yu, and the emptiness in the rear caused Guan Yu to lose the opportunity to retreat.
Since Jingzhou was the base camp for all the soldiers brought out by Guan Yu, the rear was captured, and the army was scattered. Naturally, the army would no longer fight bravely, and Guan Yu could only return to Jingzhou as soon as possible. At this time, Guan Yu would naturally move in the direction of Jingzhou, as long as he held Jingzhou and the base camp was still there, the whole situation would not be so bad.
However, what Guan Yu did not expect was that Jingzhou had been quickly occupied by Lü Meng, and the brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang surrendered. Guan Yu's retreat was completely cut off, and Maicheng, not far from Jingzhou, could temporarily become Guan Yu's retreat, but this retreat was already a dead end.
Returning to Jingzhou was a last resort, the army went out on a campaign, leaving the family in Jingzhou, not returning to Jingzhou, the army was chaotic, returning to Jingzhou, unable to solve the siege of Jingzhou, the army was scattered, and Guan Yu had already penetrated deep into the Jedi at this time. Once you go to Shangyong, it is likely that you will be intercepted in the middle of the road before you arrive.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="52" > Second, Guan Yu did not want to go to Shangyong</h1>
Even if Guan Yu relied on the Red Rabbit Horse and his own strength, he would be able to go to Shangyong all the way through the pass, and it would be difficult for him to do it for someone with Guan Yu's personality. Regarding Guan Yu's personality, we have to do an analysis. Guan Yu came from a humble background at that time, and the marquis of Hanshouting, who was later famous and famous, was only a murderer who sold dates when he did not meet Liu Bei.
In the Han Dynasty, the identity and rank of this person can be seen from the dressing habits, and the most noble clothes of the Han Dynasty were red and black clothes, while the green ones were relatively low. In order to show himself during a military parade, Cao Cao was "meritocracy, wearing a green robe", which means that Cao Cao wore lowly clothes to show his humility and love for talent, not to look at the door and identity, only the move.
Guan Yu is dressed in a green robe, obviously from a humble background, and he is also a murderer, because he needs to pass the "Guan Pass" when escaping the official pursuit, so no one knows what Guan Yu's original surname is. Because of his unknown name, Guan Yu was very annoyed that others looked down on him. The other side of inferiority is pride. After losing the Battle of Fancheng and losing Jingzhou, Guan Yu would not go to Liu Feng, the "son of the borer" he despised, no matter what.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="56" > third, no choice, helpless to go maicheng</h1>
Guan Yu's personality has certain flaws, and Guan Yu is very strong in doing things. In terms of personal charm, Guan Yu can be said to be admired. However, Guan Yu's arrogance made many people very resentful of him.
Like the brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, who were originally Liu Bei's brother-in-law, although Lady Mi was dead, as Liu Bei's foreign relative had lost her position, Guan Yu should have been more courteous. However, because of his personality, Guan Yu looked down on the Mi brothers even more. As a result, the two brothers who remained in Jingzhou surrendered soon after being besieged.
There was also Liu Feng, Liu Bei saw that Liu Feng was good, and he only had one son, so he wanted to take Liu Feng as a righteous son. Liu Bei hesitated when he received Liu Feng and went to ask Zhuge Liang, who said that this was a family affair and should be decided by the family. Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, Guan Yu's opinion is very clear, there is already a queen lord, why should the borer? The borer is a small insect, the ancients believed that a bug called a worm worm could not reproduce, so they found the child of the borer to support, in ancient times the borer refers to the adopted son.
Later, because Liu Bei really liked Liu Feng, he took him with him and adopted him as a righteous son. Guan Yu never wanted to see Liu Feng, and when Liu Bei became the king of Hanzhong, he wanted to give Liu Feng a fief. Liu Bei specifically asked someone to bring a letter to Guan Yu to ask Guan Yu's opinion, and Guan Yu was blunt, the son of a moth, not to stand on his own, and ordered him to guard the top of the Yongshan City and put away his heart, so as to prevent endless troubles in the future.
Guan Yu did not want to see Liu Feng at the beginning, Liu Bei wanted to wait for Liu Feng, Guan Yu thought that his son was unreliable, so he suggested to Liu Bei not to seal it in a good place, and to seal it on Shangyong Mountain City to put an end to future troubles. Because of the contradiction between his uncle and nephew, Guan Yu had no intention of going to Shangyong after his defeat and retreat, and Liu Feng even saw Guan Yu's defeat and retreat and watched from the sidelines. Guan Yu offended all the people who should be offended, and finally had no choice but to defeat Maicheng.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="66" > summary</h1>
Why did Guan Yu not go to Shangyong, because after the defeat, he could only return to Jingzhou first, Jingzhou could be recaptured, and there was a glimmer of life, Jingzhou was not guaranteed, and Guan Yu also came to the end. Guan Yu did not go to Shangyong because once Cao Cao's army arrived, a mountain city in Shangyong could not play a role, and Guan Yu and Liu Feng had been at odds, and Guan Yu suffered a big defeat, which Liu Feng was willing to see.
The reason for Guan Yu's failure is arrogance, people will be blind to a certain extent, and when they understand the moment, they know that everything is over. This shows a sentence, there is a forgotten hand behind you, there is no way to turn back!
