The folk worship of the Guandi Temple martial saint, incense is exuberant. In Chinese folk, it has become a unique belief, and in the Thai country of Southeast Asia, the custom of enshrineing the Guandi Temple is not uncommon. Guan Gong is not only a kind of faith, but also a kind of spirit.
Guan Yu (Chinese: 关羽), courtesy name Yunchang (161–220), was a native of present-day Yuncheng, Shanxi, and a famous general of the Shu state at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Guan Gongwen wine beheaded Huaxiong, passed five levels and slashed six generals, had the courage of ten thousand men, and threatened To shake Huaxia. After Guan Yu's death, he was revered as "Guan Gong" by the people.
In the feudal dynasty, successive imperial courts praised Guan Gong, and in the Qing Dynasty, he was honored by the imperial family as "Zhongyi God Wu Ling You Ren Yong Wei Xianguan Sheng The Great", revered as "Wu Sheng", and the Confucian "Wen Sheng" Confucius.
Since ancient times, Wusheng Guan Yunchang has been famous for his righteousness and thin cloud sky, and loyalty to the Spring and Autumn Period. In the encirclement of Huarong Dao in the Three Kingdoms, it can be seen that Guan Gong has feelings and righteousness, is meticulous in his heart, and cares about the characteristics of the people of the Central Plains.

Sima Qian of the Song Dynasty's "Zizhi Tongjian": The defeated Cao army, "the victorious soldiers are trampled by people, trapped in the mud, and the dead are many", and the defeated Cao army escapes in the mood of the wind and the sound of the crane, and the panic cannot be lived.
Guan Gong, who was ordered to wait in Huarong Dao, saw that Cao Cao, who had been mighty in the past and had feelings and righteousness for himself, was in distress, and did not choose to make meritorious contributions to exterminate Cao Cao.
Instead, he ordered his men to make way for Cao Jun to spare the lives of Cao Cao and dozens of Janissaries by preferring to punish himself. There is no joke in the army, and the act of daring to let go of the enemy before the battle, especially the enemy's first rank, is undoubtedly extraordinary.
And this incident also made Guan Yunchang's image of sentient and righteous more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In 262 AD, the geographical area of the Shu Han Dynasty reached 1.06 million square kilometers. The territory of the Shu Han Dynasty included the whole province of present-day Yunnan, most of the two provinces of Sichuan and Guizhou, as well as northeastern Burma and northwestern Vietnam.
People often use the term "Heavenly Palace on the Kingdom" to describe the suitable habitat of the Shu Han Dynasty and the beautiful economic environment. The Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period is located in a low-latitude region, belonging to the subtropical humid monsoon climate, warm and humid all year round, which is conducive to the growth of various crops, and is a famous cash crop origin.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the Shu Han Dynasty established by Emperor Liu Bei of Zhaolie was a powerful empire with many ethnic minorities, and under the governance of Liu Bei, the spirit of benevolence and righteousness, all ethnic groups united as one, and economic and social development flourished.
However, the gap between the Shu state and the Wei state was still not small.
In 263 AD, the territory of Cao Wei was 4 million square kilometers. There are about 1 million people in the Shu state and 13 million people in the Wei state. In terms of population and area alone, the State of Wei was much larger, and more importantly, cao Cao occupied a traditional central plains region, which occupied the Yellow River basin of the Yangtze River.
The area under Cao Mengde's jurisdiction is a natural grain cultivation base, with fertile land and vast plains, which is in sharp contrast with the Shu Han who had many mountains and barren planting plains.
Cao Cao's occupation of Cao Wei also had the political advantage of "holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes", so it is said that in this place that has been the prince of the crown since ancient times, Cao Cao occupies the right place at the right time and place.
Even if Shu Han and Eastern Wu joined forces, in terms of military strength alone, it was less than Cao Wei's 85.32%.
If in Huarong Road, Guan Gong would kill Cao Cao at this time. The Central Plains region will certainly be leaderless again and engage in dogfights. At this time, the world will not only be divided into three parts, it will be divided, and at this time, the future unification of jiangshan will be more difficult.
And national divisions, turmoil in the country, the most guilty must be the people. "Death, suffering of the people" social turmoil, people's livelihood chaos, the first to be affected will be the ordinary People of Li.
Guan Gong was not only a martial general, he was also a martial artist who was familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period and the Art of War. He was born in Shanxi, in the Central Plains, and he knows the importance of stability in the Central Plains.
He had served as a high-ranking official in the Cao camp, and he knew the people of the Cao Wei court and the army, and the struggle between them. He knew what kind of vicious situation the Central Plains would face if something happened to Cao Mengde.
And when the time comes, countless people will face the destruction of life. Countless people will be displaced, and human tragedies will be staged one by one.
Guan Yunchang, who had been fighting the southern and northern wars since he was a teenager, and Guan Yunchang, who had a benevolent heart, could not bear to see this scene coming, so he resolutely let Cao Mengde go regardless of his own safety.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="71" > Cao Cao, an all-round talent, played an important role in the stability of the Wei state</h1>
Cao Cao's father, Cao Song (曹嵩), was an official of the Han Ling Emperor.) When Cao Cao was young, he was already a veritable second-generation official.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the collapse of the Kwantung Alliance, the young hero Cao Cao began a southern expedition to the north, crusading everywhere, breaking the white circle, Yu Poison, etc., occupying Yanzhou in shandong province, collecting 300,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army, and leading a team of his own to begin to rebel against Dong Zhuo's army.
In 196 AD, Cao Cao began to "obey the son of heaven to order not to be subordinate", using the name of the Han court to suppress local forces.
In less than ten years, Cao Mengde successively broke Yuan Shu and destroyed Lü Bu. The forces developed into Yan, Yu, Xu and other central plains regions, which also had parts of Sili and Yongzhou.
In 200 AD, as the young master of the Yuan family who was the third duke of the fourth dynasty, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought a decisive battle at Guandu, and the heroic and fearless Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao with less victory and more under the extreme disadvantage of the enemy and the enemy.
In the short period of time that followed, Cao Mengde became more and more courageous in the Vietnam War, using the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves, quickly leveling the forces of the hebei princes, taking over the southern Xiongnu, and unifying the north.
Judging from his military resume, his achievements are unmatched, it can be said that he has achieved fruitful results, cao cao is not only a military wizard, but also a literati, politician, and reformer.
Under Cao Cao's rule, the Central Plains continued to issue orders to seek meritocracy. "Eclectic absorption of soldiers and talents."
For a time, management talents from all over the world, such as water conservancy, military, machinery, financial reform, household registration, and mechanical structure, all rushed to Cao Wei and became the backbone of Cao Wei's reform and innovation.
At this time, Cao Wei had become a superpower in the Three Kingdoms. At this time, the people of Cao Wei, the happiness index, the first in the Three Kingdoms, made the people of Shu Han and Eastern Wu very envious.
It is precisely because Guan Gong, who understands the great righteousness and cares about the people of the world, clearly knows all this. In the face of great right and wrong, the world is important, and he will resolutely and resolutely let go of Cao Mengde, who was seriously injured and powerless to make enemies of Shu Han. This kind of chivalry is one of the many reasons why people have respected him for thousands of years.
