The people of society have great admiration and admiration for Guan Yu's loyalty and affection, and everyone calls him "Second Master Guan" and some other respects him. Some places also built a Guansheng Temple for him.
According to the record in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu's real name is Guan Changsheng, and Guan Yu is a man of upright nature, good at fighting and uneven, and not afraid of the powerful. When he was in his hometown, because he was not accustomed to the gentry bullying and exploiting the people, he was there as a blessing and killed him in one breath. In order to avoid the pursuit of the government, he had no choice but to change his name and flee to another country.
After coming to Youzhou, he first made a living by selling beans. Soon after, also in Youzhou, he met Liu Bei, who sold straw shoes for a living, and Zhang Fei, who sold pork for a living. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu first had friction, and later after Liu Bei's mediation, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu reconciled. In the last three of them were in Zhang Fei's peach orchard and worshipped as brothers with different surnames.
At this time, the world was in chaos, the Yellow Turban was in charge, and Liu Bei, who was the bloodline of the Han Room, was determined to support the Han Room, so he recruited soldiers and horses in various places, pulled up a team, and opened the road to reviving the Han Room. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu followed in Liu Bei's footsteps and joined him in their expeditions to the east and west.
After Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei, Liu Bei fled to Yuan Shaona. Guan Yu lost contact with Liu Bei and others, and he was captured by Cao Cao. After Cao Cao agreed to a series of requests from Guan Yu, he surrendered to Cao Cao with Liu Bei's two wives and his entourage, and Guan Yu made many achievements in Cao Cao's camp, and in the war with Yuan Shao, he easily killed Yuan Shao's generals Yan Liang and Wen Ugly, and Cao Cao made Guan Yu the Marquis of Hanshouting in an attempt to keep him.
When he learned that Liu Bei was in Yuan Shaona, Guan Yu bowed to Cao Cao and prepared to embark on a journey to find Liu Bei, but Cao Cao did not see him several times, and Guan Yu had to leave his official seal and leave. Embarked on a journey to find Liu Bei. He killed many of Cao Cao's generals along the way, and when Cao Cao found out, he not only did not pursue them, but instead ordered that the future should not stop Guan Yu. This is the famous story of a thousand miles of single riding.
It can be seen that Guan Yu's courage and strategy are particularly serious. However, Guan Yu has several relatively large fatal weaknesses, that is, self-sufficiency, self-pride, and contempt for people of the same level as himself. For example, when Liu Bei was enfeoffed as the General of the Five Tigers, Guan Yu actually disdained to be with the general Huang Zhong, and contemptuously called Huang Zhong an old decay.
After Sun Liu's allied forces defeated Cao Cao at Chibi, Liu Bei's clique grew rapidly, and Guan Yu was ordered to defend Jingzhou. In order to consolidate the relationship with Liu Bei's clique, Sun Quan sent someone to propose to Guan Yu, wanting Guan Yu's daughter to marry Eastern Wu, and Guan Yu directly said in front of the envoys that the tiger girl Yan could marry a dog. The emissary told Sun Quan about this, and Sun Quan was furious and ordered Lü Meng to sneak into Jingzhou and work with wei to eliminate Liu Bei's forces in Jingzhou. In the end, Guan Yu was defeated and killed by Eastern Wu, and Jingzhou fell into the hands of Eastern Wu.
At that time, there were many friendly troops near Jingzhou, such as Liu Feng, who was stationed in the Shangyong area, he had heavy troops in his hands, but he could not save him, and Ma Chao was only twenty miles away from him recently, and he had never sent troops to rescue Guan Yu.
So why so many fraternal troops refused to rescue Guan Yu, which made us very confused. When Chairman Mao, who loved to read, finished reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he once made a comment on this period of history: he believed that Guan Yu was not very clever, and he engaged in closed-door thinking towards his allies. Chairman Mao later added that although Guan Yu had a great reputation, he was arrogant and arrogant and doomed to failure.
