Chapter 053: The loyal Guan Yu
Guan Yu, the word cloud is long, Sili Hedong Jieren, born in the Eastern Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Huan, an important general of Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Zhang Fei is known as the enemy of ten thousand people.

The most special thing about Guan Yu is that he is highly respected by Chinese culture, because of his loyal and brave image, he is respected by the people as Guan Gong, and has been praised by later generations of emperors many times, until the martial saint, Guan Sheng Emperor, also commonly known as Guan Sheng Emperor, Guan Emperor and so on have been passed down to this day. Due to the influence of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is generally believed that Guan Yu married Liu Bei and Zhang Feiyi to Jinlan, and Guan Yu ranked second, so he is also commonly known as Guan Erye and Guan Erge.
Guan Yu is the most significant symbol of loyalty, courage and righteousness in China's history. But counting the history of the history of there are too many loyal and brave spirit to overshadow Guan Yu's figures, not to mention that Guan Yu followed the process of Shu Han, defeated Maicheng and was captured by Sun Quan and fell to the ground, such a defeated general, because of the coaxing of history, became a loyal, brave and righteous figure?
Taoyuan three righteousness, Guan Yu and Liu Bei were separated and temporarily took refuge in Cao Ying, he beheaded Yan Liang and Zhu Wen Chou for Cao Cao. Then there was a three-day small banquet, a five-day banquet, and then sent beauties, gold and silver, red rabbit horses, Cao Cao even sealed Guan Yu as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion. Then Guan Yu passed five passes and six generals for Liu Bei, the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao defeated Huarong Dao, but Guan Yu let him pass, Guan Yu fell into the trap and defeated Maicheng, so he was arrested, but he would rather die on the battlefield than surrender, and finally ended his life.
Since the Taoyuan Three Rebellions, the brotherhood has been increasing day by day. Guan Yu is loyal to his brothers, he has nothing to say, he is loyal to his brothers, loyal to the Han family. Cao Cao gave beautiful women, gold and silver, and he used them all for his sister-in-law. Zhang Liao designed to smear Guan Yu and his sister-in-law, and deliberately let them have the same room, but Guan Yu broke the wall single-handedly and read the Spring and Autumn Festival by the moonlight until he reached Dan.
For the items given by Cao Cao, Guan Yu didn't like any of them, except for the Red Rabbit Horse. The reason is that the red rabbit horse can travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred at night, and if you know Liu Bei's whereabouts, you can reach it within a day. Cao Cao also gave him a robe, but the robe given by Cao Cao was covered under the robe given by Liu Bei, which shows how much Guan Yu attaches importance to this brotherhood. It is also because of loyalty that we will pay attention to it.
The position of the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion was only recast because of the absence of Han, and Guan Yu did not take over his position, which also showed his loyalty to the country. In the first battle of Huarong Dao, Guan Yu could have beheaded Cao Cao, but because of the old kindness and old feelings, he would rather accept military law, who can do this kind of righteousness? In the end, because of Lu Meng's design to trip the red rabbit horse, Guan Yu was bound, and finally his head was in a different place.
Because of a momentary mistake, he was finally killed, and if he surrendered, he could live and his official position was not low, but Guan Yu chose to be loyal, loyal to his brother, loyal to his country, so it attracted a swan song for the ages. As the saying goes: "Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat." ”
Is it true that such a defeated general has become a loyal, brave and righteous figure? A person who is good at arguing often wins a fight, but loses peace; a person who is good at harmony often allows himself to lose, but he wins peace, and it is common sense that soldiers are not tired of deceit, but did Guan Yu really lose?
If he really lost, why was Lu Meng's reputation not as good as Guan Yu's? Guan Yu was fighting for the world of the Han family, and it was also a holy name that has been passed down through the ages. If you talk about defeat, isn't this the case with Grandpa Yue of the Song Dynasty? If you don't win, you lose, and before he can completely recover the country, he will be killed. He failed, but what failed was his career, but he succeeded in the Yue family's style and became a hero through the ages. For Guan Yu, what is wrong? The reputation given to him is because there are too many that he can abandon his brotherhood and strive for glory by himself, but he would rather abandon glory and follow his brother, that is, loyalty.
Someone once asked him: "If Liu Bei is no longer alive, then who are you going to follow?"
Guan Yu replied: "If one day, I would like to go underground with my brother." "What more can a husband ask for such loyalty?
Guan Yu fled his hometown in his early years because of a crime and went to Zhuo County, Youzhou, Liu Bei organized a volunteer army in Zhuo County to participate in the war to extinguish the Yellow Turban Thieves, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were among them, serving as Liu Bei's personal guards. After Liu Bei held many official positions, he defected to his former classmate Gongsun Zhan and was named the prime minister of the plains, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were appointed as the Sima of other departments, and they were divided into subordinate departments. The three of them are like brothers, often sleeping in the same bed together, when Liu Bei fights at night for official business, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei often work tirelessly to guard them.
People love Guan Yu, not only because of his outstanding military talent, but also because of his loyalty story. Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan became brothers with different surnames who intersected with life and death, and Guan Yu followed Liu Bei until death.
Cao Cao had exhausted his efforts to entrap Guan Yu, and although Guan Yu was grateful for Cao Cao's favor, he never forgot his old master. When he learned the news of Liu Bei, Guan Yu rode alone for thousands of miles, passed five levels and killed six generals, showing the integrity of righteousness and loyalty, and returned to his old master.
If you don't surrender to Cao, you will show the integrity of loyalty, if you don't take off your armor to protect your sister-in-law at night, you will be righteous, and if you look for Liu Bei, you will have both loyalty and righteousness. Then, in Huarong Dao, Guan Yu explained Cao Cao's story, and Guan Yu's side of emphasizing righteousness and knowing kindness and retribution.
It is said that Cao Cao's million-strong army was defeated in Chibi, and more than 300 people escaped from the encirclement, meeting Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei on the way, and losing troops and generals, hungry and exhausted, it can be said that he has reached the end of the road. Cao Cao fled to Huarong Dao, originally thinking that he could take a breath, but unexpectedly encountered an ambush attack by Guan Yu's troops carefully arranged by Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao secretly cried out in his heart: "Heaven will kill me!"
At this time, Guan Yu wanted to catch Cao Cao, it was absolutely easy, in a hurry, Cao Cao had to personally come forward to ask Guan Yu, Guan Yu was a righteous person, thinking of Cao Cao's many kindness that day, quite embarrassed. Guan Yu once made a military order, vowing to kill Cao Cao, if Cao Cao was released at this critical moment, it was at the risk of beheading, and then he put Cao Cao in a heart, even regardless of death, and remembered to repay the kindness, this is the righteousness of Guan Gong.
Guan Yu Tushan about three things, he said that he only descended to the Han Emperor, not to Cao Cao, and also said that when he learned of Liu Bei's whereabouts, he would go regardless of thousands of miles. Cao Cao is worthy of being a traitor, he also accepted such harsh conditions, in fact, he accepted Zhang Liao's suggestion, and wanted to impress Guan Yu with kindness, because Zhang Liao said that the reason why Guan Yu was able to put forward such conditions was only because of the kindness that Liu Bei gave him, if Cao Cao could treat Guan Yu better than Liu Bei, then Guan Yu would eventually abandon Liu Bei and be loyal to Cao Cao.
On the way back to Xuchang, Cao Cao wanted to let Guan Yu and his two sisters-in-law live in the same room in order to mess with the courtesy of his monarchs and ministers, but Guan Yu stood outdoors with candles, and he was tiring all night, which made Cao Cao feel more respectful of Guan Yu's personality. After arriving in Xuchang, Guan Yu bowed outside the door once on the third day and asked if the second sister-in-law was safe. After the second lady asked the emperor about the matter, she said that the uncle was at his own convenience, and Guan Yu dared to retreat. After Cao Cao heard about it, he admired Guan Gong, Cao Cao, a generation of traitorous males, can be said to read a lot of people, but he admires Guan Yu so much, which shows Guan Yu's personality.
After Guan Yu arrived in Xudu, he was named a partial general, Cao Cao built a mansion for him, and treated him with courtesy at the banquet, please sit down, and all his advisers and military officers will accompany him, which can be said to be a great honor. Cao Cao also gave Guan Yu silk brocade and gold and silver utensils, ten beauties, and Guan Yu gave the utensils and beauties to his sister-in-law. A small banquet on the third day and a big banquet on the fifth day, and gave him a red rabbit BMW, but Guan Yu did not change his righteousness to Liu Bei, he and Cao Cao said that he was fortunate to get the red rabbit horse, if he knew the whereabouts of his brother Liu Bei, he could travel thousands of miles a day to see his brother in one day.
Cao Cao can be said to be very caring for him, he is very good at giving gifts to please people, and he likes it, seeing Guan Yu caring for his beard, he will make a bag of yarn brocade and protect his beard with Guan Gong. Seeing that Guan Yu's robe was old, he gave Guan Yu a new brocade robe, but Guan Yu never forgot Liu Bei's kindness, and wore the new brocade robe inside and the old one outside. And said: "I wear it like seeing my brother's face, and I dare not forget my brother's old gift with the prime minister's new gift, so I wear it outside." ”
Later, Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang and Zhu Wenchou, and after repaying the favor, he left Cao Cao to find Liu Bei, and rode alone for thousands of miles. Cao Cao couldn't fail to repay his great kindness, so he left after repaying the favor, which is also where his righteousness lies.
Of course, Guan Yu has many characteristics in addition to loyalty, such as his bravery, being able to kill Yan Liang in the army of ten thousand horses, as well as Wen Jiu's beheading of Huaxiong, going to the meeting with a single sword, etc., are all manifestations of his bravery. Guan Yu is brave, so he can be brave and fearless, dare to go to the meeting alone, and be able to scrape bones and cure poison and talk and laugh freely. He also has a strategy, and he can flood the Seventh Army and capture General Cao Cao and Pang De alive.
But he has a fatal weakness, and that is his arrogance. After learning that Ma Chao had surrendered, he sent a letter to Zhuge Liang, and later Zhuge Liang replied: "Meng Qi is both civil and military, heroic, the master of the first generation, and the disciple of Huang and Peng. ”
He saw Zhuge Liang say this, so he was very happy, to show the guests, Zhuge Liang's letter to everyone, let everyone see, see what the military advisors said about me. I think in his eyes, I am afraid that only Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang can afford to look down on them, and even Sun Quan looks down on them. When Sun Quan sent someone to ask for marriage, he said that the tiger girl could marry a dog, and the history books also said that he insulted Sun Quan's messenger, thus planting the bane of defeat and death.
