In fact, Guan Yu had a premonition of death on the eve of the Northern Expedition besieging Fancheng in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219 AD). According to the Book of Shu, at that time, Guan Yu dreamed of a wild boar biting his toes, and according to the method of dream interpretation, this was a sign of great evil! The fate of the pig will be killed by man, and the word "foot", which is broken up and written into words and "mouth stop", is the image of death. The foot is also the foot, and the pig bites off its flesh, that is, the word "foot" goes to the "month", and after it goes, it is "but", which is the image of defeat. In short, this was a very bad dream, so after Guan Yu woke up, he said to his son Guan Ping: "I am in decline this year, but I must not pay it back!" "
Of course, Guan Yu's idea was probably more that he thought that he was old, and he must seize the time to lay the land of Xiangfan first, so as to lay a solid foundation for the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han Dynasty. This also explains why Guan Yu waited for two more years, waiting for Cao Cao to die when the north was unstable, wouldn't it be safer? The key Guan Yu already doubted that he could not live to live that year, and if he did not do it again, would he leave this heavy responsibility to his descendants to complete?
But Guan Yu never expected that this ominous dream was not only an elegy for Guan Yu's own life, but also an elegy for the great cause of the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han Dynasty, and an elegy for the collapse of the entire Han Dynasty.
Sure enough, Guan Yu's siege of Fancheng was at a critical moment, and news came from the south that Eastern Wu Lü Meng had secretly attacked Jingzhou, and Jiangling and The Public Security had even surrendered without a fight! Guan Yu was shocked to hear that over the years, although he and Eastern Wu had a lot of discord, they did not tear their faces apart on the whole. Five years ago, Lü Meng planned to take three counties, the two armies were sword-fighting, and it seemed that a big war was about to break out, but he and Lu Su met with a single sword, and they both tried their best to maintain restraint, so in the end it was only a military confrontation, and the situation did not become more intense, and later Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, and the two sides negotiated again. The officials of the three counties who had previously surrendered to Lü Meng returned to their old masters, and Liu Bei Guanyu did not punish them, only as a contradiction between allies, not as a defection to the enemy.
But now the situation was different, this time Sun Quan made a fierce move, not only sent Lü Meng to take jiangling public security, but also sent Lu Xun to lead an army to the east to defeat the Shu Han's Yidu Taishou Fanyou, captured Zigui, Zhijiang, and Yidao, controlled the Three Gorges Passage, blocked Guan Yu's way back to Yizhou along the river, and also blocked Liu Bei's way to aid Guan Yu. Shu Han's Fangling Taishou Deng Fu, Nanxiang Taishou Guo Mu and others led an army from Fangling over Shennongjia to the south, trying to open the Three Gorges Passage, but they were all defeated by Lu Xun. It seems that it is really tearing the skin to take advantage of the fire to rob ah!
At this point, as strong as Guan Yu, now there is no idea, the way north to the three eastern counties has been blocked by the Wei army, he can only go south to take back To Jingzhou, perhaps there is still a glimmer of life. To make matters worse, Lü Meng obtained the families of Guan Yu and his generals in Gangneung City, which left Guan Yu's entire army without a fighting heart. Guan Yu himself also messed up the rules and sent people to Gangneung City to inquire about the news, inquire about the situation, and seek the possibility of negotiations.
Of course, Lü Meng could not negotiate anything, but he also deeply understood that if the shu army's family was killed at this time, Guan Yu's gang would definitely come desperately. So he used the art of Huai Rou to make Wu Jun have no offense against the people of Jingzhou, and Lü Meng even put on a show and personally beheaded an old soldier brought out of his hometown of Runan, on the charge that this soldier stole a bucket hat from the people's home to cover the rain!
One will achieve ten thousand bones, this Yangtze River is not the river water, how many years of endless blood of soldiers!
In addition, Lu Meng also held several charity conferences, visited the disease and asked hardships, and his acting skills were first-class.
As a result, Guan Yu's emissaries were pulled around by Lü Meng, and seeing that Jiangling was peaceful, Qiu had committed no crimes, and could simply be rated as a civilized city, and quickly returned to report to Guan Yu, Guan Yu listened, but fell into contemplation.
Not negotiating but treating the family kindly, it seems that Lu Meng's intention is very big, this is bad.
In fact, if Guan Yu was more ruthless, let the emissary lie and deceive the whole army, pretending that the family members of the troops had been killed by Eastern Wu, causing the same hatred of the enemy, maybe he could still fight to the death; or simply learn from Wu Wangfu to kill the emissary to kill the mouth, wouldn't it be clean (Note 1)? However, although Guan Yu was a famous general, he was kind to the soldiers and benevolent, and did not want to do this trick and hurt the hearts of the soldiers, so he still let the emissaries spread the news of Jingzhou City in the army, and distributed the family letters he brought back to the whole army. These family letters were like the embattled songs at the end of the Chu-Han War, which made all the military officials miss home, so they had no fighting spirit, the army's heart was broken, and they fled and sneaked back to Jiangling to reunite with their families.
Note 1: In 482 BC, Wu Wang Fuchai led the elite of the whole country north to Huangchi to compete with the Jin state for hegemony, and when the situation was good, he was secretly attacked by the rear Yue State to attack Wu Dugu Su, and the situation was quite similar to Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou. However, as soon as Wu Wangfu received the news, he secretly executed seven envoys of Wu Bing who reported the letter, and waited until the battle for hegemony was successful, before leading his army back to the state of Wu and making peace with the state of Yue, thus making the state of Wu survive for another ten years.
At this point, Guan Yu knew that the general situation had gone, and could only turn around and return to Dangyang, Xibao Maicheng (in present-day Lianghe Town, Danyang City, Hubei Province), and wanted to flee back to Chengdu from Jingshan Mountain in the west. Of course, Sun Quan would not give Guan Yu this opportunity, so he mobilized various armies to force Himself to Dangyang and sent someone to persuade Guan Yu to surrender, although he knew that this was a little unlikely.
But the messenger sent back amazing news, and Guan Yu actually agreed to surrender.
Sun Quan was overjoyed to hear this, and he immediately ordered a halt to the attack on Dangyang, and then prepared a halo book to personally go to Maicheng to warmly welcome Guan Yu into Wu. However, Sun Quan's close minister Wu Fan said: "He has gone angry and deceived his words. ”
Wu Fan was a famous warlock in Huijian County, who had accurately predicted for Sun Quan the "Capture of Huang Zu" and "Liu Bei's taking of Yizhou", which was deeply trusted by Sun Quan. Therefore, when Sun Quan heard this, he immediately woke up and hurriedly sent Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang to lead a light horse from Yidu to Linfeng (in the mountains of Western Hubei in the area of Yuan'an County, Yichang City, Hubei Province) to intercept Guan Yu's return route.
Sure enough, as soon as Sun Quan arrived at Maicheng, he got the news that Guan Yu had actually set up a banner on the city tower and a dummy, deceived the Wu army that was besieging the city, and then led the army to escape overnight. Of course, Guan Yu's Jingzhou army was willing to lose his family and return to Yizhou with him, so they fled halfway, leaving only their sons Guan Ping, Dudu Zhao Lei, and more than ten other horsemen. It was the cold winter of December, the snow fell from the sky dome, the north roared, everyone was frozen and trembling, and all the way was intercepted and killed by Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran's troops, all the way to death, all were scarred, hungry, exhausted. Although Guan Yu was a hero in a lifetime, but the matter had come to this point, he could not help but feel the end of the road.
Sure enough, the miracle did not happen, and in a valley in Linfeng, more than a dozen people of Guan Yu were ambushed by hundreds of horses under Sima Mazhong under Pan Zhang. Although Guan Yu is old, he still fights with his son Guan Ping, even if this kind of battle seems to be in vain, but as a warrior, you must fight to the end! The General of the Wu Army originally thought that this was a great merit for Bai Pick, but unexpectedly he was killed by more than ten people of Guan Yu, so they changed their strategy and only released arrows from a distance, most of Guan Yu's more than ten people were shot dead, and the remaining Guan Yu Guan Ping Zhao Lei three people were also seriously injured, unable to fight again, and seeing that they were about to be captured, Guan Yu quickly threw the beloved "Ten Thousand Enemies" sword into the water (Note 2) to avoid the enemy.
Note 2: See Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasty in the "Records of Ancient and Modern Swords": "Guan Yu, who was valued by the ancestors, spared no effort to kill himself, and took the iron of the capital mountain as a second sword, and the inscription was known as the enemy of all men." And feather defeat, feather sword, thrown into the water. ”
According to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" (Romance of the Three Kingdoms), during this period, Sun Quan's heart seemed to be filled with irritability and anxiety, and he even summoned Yu Bian, who was proficient in magic, to count a gua as a consolation. After all, in the hearts of the world, Guan Yu was the only famous general of shu Han (Note 3), and the only general who was proficient in water warfare, if he successfully escaped back to Bashu and trained a water army in Jiangzhou to make a comeback, Sun Quan's life would never be better. In short, Guan Yu did not die, Sun Quan was restless, lying on the pillow, and would not be at peace until he died. Fortunately, the result of Yu's calculation to Sun Quan was: "In less than two days, you will be severed." Another warlock, Wu Fan, also said that Guan Yu would definitely not be able to run, and even gave Sun Quan a more accurate timetable: "Tomorrow and day, Guan Yu will arrive." ”
Note 3: See Romance of the Three Kingdoms Liu Ye Biography: "(Cao Wei) Xianyun: 'Shu, xiao guo'er, famous general Wei Yu. The feathered army was broken, the country was worried, and there was no chance to make a comeback. ’”
But Sun Quan was still very anxious, and he ordered someone to set a time hourglass and carve a mark, and sat next to it and waited. Wait, wait, wait until noon, there is still no news, Sun Quan jumped straight to his feet, Wu Fan hurriedly said: "Now it has just arrived at noon, it will not be fulfilled until noon, the lord may wish to wait patiently." In this way, Sun Quan waited patiently for almost an hour, and suddenly, there was a wind that lifted the curtain, and Wu Fan clapped his hands and said, "Guan Yu has caught it." "Long live the shouts outside the tent, and the rumor says that Guan Yu has been captured."
Sun Quan was overjoyed, so he also wanted to try to persuade Guan Yu to surrender, even if he did not let him lead the army, even if he was raised around, he could cause a major blow to the psychology of Liu Bei and Cao Cao. The strategists around Sun Quan listened to Sun Quan's thoughts and cried and laughed, and Guan Yu's false surrender in Maicheng had proved everything. This was a loyal and pure courtier, even Cao Cao could not control him, sun quan could still keep this honorable god? Let's save it.
Therefore, everyone advised Sun Quan one after another: "Wolves cannot be raised, and they will be harmed later." Cao Gong did not get rid of it immediately, but caused great trouble to himself, but discussed the migration of the capital. How can I be born now! "
Sun Quan thought about it, and indeed, Guan Yu refused to be his own family at that time, and now he is willing to be his own subordinate? Forget it!
Guan Yu was already prepared for his end, so, in the cold wind, he calmly died. However, when the large knife was swung down, suddenly a hazy red cloud drifted in, stabbing Guan Yu's eyes.
It was a dead tree not far away, and although the branches were dry, there were thousands of pink blooms in it. Guan Yu couldn't help but have a momentary trance.
"This... Is it a peach blossom? ”
It's freezing cold, how can there be peach blossoms? Xu is just a plum blossom. But under that tree, why did three people sing to the wine and laugh and laugh?
yes...... The king, Yide, Guan Mou lost Jingzhou, no face to see you, let's live in the next life, and then be brothers!
At the same time, there was a loud and noisy trumpeting voice from the Wu army camp:
"Guan Beide, be a bird Zhang." Cut me the city of Yi, the picture is ominous. Called the Northern Expedition, besieged Fan Xiangyang. The arm is larger than the strand and will suffer from it. Wei Wei Wu Sheng Lord, Rui De and Xuan Tong. With Xuantong, personally Ren Lü Meng. Rafting floods flood ponds, tracing the Yangtze River. Shen Wu Yi He Huan Huan, the sound is fierce and the wind is soaring. Lifu Gong'an City, according to Ying State. Yu Yu is the head of the head, a hundred wild and salty to the same, sheng ya incomparably long. ——"——From the Wu Guo drumming song collected in the "Book of Song and Lezhi"
After the song, Guan Gong's head had been packed into a box, ready to be sent to Luoyang to be sacrificed to Cao Cao, one for merit, two for demonstration, and three for misfortune. Liu Bei Zhang Fei's anger was no joke, so Sun Quan must have pulled Cao Cao along with the pot.
In short, such a famous commander of the water army who successively exploded LeJin, Cao Ren, Pound De, and Yu Ban, such a gaishi general who let Cao Cao pour out the soldiers of the northern kingdom and let Sun Quan pour the soldiers of the southern kingdom to encircle and suppress with all his might, but he was still able to intimidate Huaxia, just fell on the land of Jianghan where he had struggled for half his life, and his ambition was not rewarded, and he was hated for eternity!
Less than ten months after Guan Yu's death, in October 220, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty, which had a state of four hundred years, officially collapsed.
In the last few decades of the post-Han era, people who were martyred with death were often seen in history; after Guan Yu's death, such people were already very rare. By the time of the two Jin Dynasties and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the martyrs had completely disappeared. Dynastic changes have become commonplace, and only the warriors and door valves are eternal.
From this point of view, guan Yu's death is a symbol of the demise of the Han Dynasty and the end of the moral society of the Post-Han Dynasty. As the last martyr before the collapse of the traditional moral system, Guan Yu was also elevated to the shrine when Confucianism in the Song Dynasty reconstructed the social ethical system, and became an immortal god.
According to the Wu Calendar, although Sun Quan passed Guan Yu to Luoyang to ask for merit, he buried Guan Yu's body with the courtesy of a prince, which is said to be in the Guanling Tomb in present-day Danyang, Hubei. The "Chronicle of Dangyang County" also records that after Sun Quan buried Guan Yu, he also "helped people to make tomb sacrifices, and it was common for the years to live."
Of course, Cao Cao and Guan Yu also had an unforgettable relationship with the monarch, so it was reasonable, how could he be fooled by Sun Quan? According to legend, Cao Cao finally ordered someone to carve Guan Yu's body with camphor wood, load it into a camphor coffin with the first rank, and bury it in the south of Luoyang City with the courtesy of a prince, the location is 7 kilometers south of the old city of present-day Luoyang City, because there are thousands of ancient cypress trees planted in front of Guan Yu's tomb, so it is called Guan Lin, in China, the only people who will become the tomb of the saint as "forest" are Kong Lin and Guan Lin. And the Dangyang Guanling, Luoyang Guanlin, plus the Shanxi Xiezhou Guandi Temple, which is known as the world's first Guandi Temple, these three major Guanyu holy places in China have made the folk have Guan Yu's saying that "the head rests on Luoyang, the body is trapped in Dangyang, and the soul returns to the hometown".
Coincidentally, another legendary god in Chinese history, Xiang Yu, was also buried separately, and there is also a "yu" in this name, his name is Xiang Yu. According to the "Records of History", after Xiang Yu killed Wujiang, the Generals of the Han Army snatched his body and divided him into five pieces, of which the head was also taken to Ludi to recruit Xiang Yu's fiefdom father and elder, and eventually buried in Gucheng in Ludi with the courtesy of princes.
According to the "Chronicle of Xiang Yu Benji": "King Xiang is dead, all the Chu lands have surrendered to Han, and Dulu is not down, Han Nai leads the world's soldiers to slaughter him, for his observance of etiquette and righteousness, for the lord of death, it is the head of Xiang Wang, Lu's father and brother are descending, at the beginning, King Huai of Chu initially sealed Xiang as Lu Gong, and his death, Lu finally descended, so Lu Gong li buried Xiang Wang Gucheng, and the King of Han mourned and wept away." ”
History is sometimes so magical, the fate of the two Yu Ye is so similar, they are all Chudi's heroes, they are both tough and easy to bend warriors, they are all fighters with superior force, they are all gods and generals of all enemies, and they have also done the work of hanging the heroes of the world, and the final result is that they are stabbed in the back under the advantage of the situation, and then they are collectively surrounded and suppressed by the famous generals of the world, and they are all divided and disintegrated by various persuasions, which is a tragic failure, and after death, they are all divided into corpses, and they are all buried by the enemy with the courtesy of the princes. More coincidentally, they all died in the cold winter of December. However, one was the last winter before the establishment of the Han Dynasty, and the other was the last winter before the fall of the Han Dynasty.
What is even more miraculous is that the two Yu ye have been brothers with Emperor Liu. And they all had great help for each other's early development, and in the end they almost destroyed each other's country.
So many coincidences are so amazing that later generations often associate the two with each other, for example, in the thirty-first volume of Feng Menglong's "Yu Shi Mingyan" "Sima Mao's Prison Break", Guan Yu was written as Xiang Yu's reincarnation, and the five Han army officers who decomposed Xiang Yu's body at that time were also arranged to be reincarnated, becoming the five guards who guan Yu (Xiang Yu) killed when he passed the fifth level; and the Xiang Bo, who turned his back on his relatives and coveted wealth, was also arranged to be reincarnated as Yan Liang, and was specially cut by Guan Yu (Xiang Yu). From the perspective of cultural development, Guan Yu also inherited the divine functions of Xiang Yu as the "Lord of Soldiers" and "God of War" in Chudi, and added the spiritual elements of "loyalty" and "benevolence", spreading throughout the world and becoming a cultural treasure and symbol of Chinese. The two gods will know from the ground, and when they make a big sigh, those long-term unwillingness and regrets, those stifling sorrows, grandeurs, and failures, let it go with the storms of history, and let it be laughed at!
