In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD), Cao Cao became the prime minister, and he did not take the emperor seriously.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty wrote the meaning of begging Cao Cao on his pocket, called Dong Cheng, the grandmother of the country, and secretly showed him the edict written on the belt of his clothes. Dong Cheng understood the meaning of offering the emperor, and he had no countermeasures to get rid of Cao Cao, so he was indignant and worried, so he fell ill.

Emperor Xian asked the imperial physician Ji Ping to come to his house to treat him.

Before the imperial physician Ji Ping left, Emperor Xian also showed him the secret edict of rebellion that he had written on his pocket, and was determined to get rid of Cao Cao. When Ji Ping arrived at the Dong Mansion, the two of them jointly set up a plan.

Unexpectedly, there were ears on the wall, and Dong Cheng's house slave Qin Qingtong listened to it.

This house slave had an ambiguous relationship with Dong Cheng's little wife (the two only teased each other verbally, and there was no actual relationship between men and women), Dong Cheng knew, and beat the little wife and the house slave Qin Qingtong with forty canes each, the little wife didn't hold it and was beaten to death, and the house slave Qin Qingtong survived, but, therefore, Qin Qingtong held a grudge against Lao Dong.

Overheard this incident, he sneaked out of Dong's mansion and reported Dong Cheng and Ji Ping to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao pretended to be sick and asked Ji Ping to heal, and Ji Ping personally decocted the medicine and sent it, but Cao Cao let Ji Ping taste it first.

Ji Ping knew that the matter had been revealed, and insisted on pouring poison into Cao Cao's mouth, Cao Cao pushed it with his hand, and the medicine bowl fell to the ground, and the poisonous juice in the potion caused the floor tiles to crack.

Cao Cao arrested Ji Ping and forced Ji Ping to recruit his accomplices, Ji Ping did not comply, but just shouted and scolded, Cao Cao ordered someone to cut off Ji Ping's fingers and tongue, and Ji Ping committed suicide by hitting his head on the stone steps.

Cao Cao executed Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan, and Chong Ji, and killed Dong Cheng's daughter Dong Guifei, who was five months pregnant, and even the emperor and empress interceded to no avail.

Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei was also involved in Dong Cheng's conspiracy, so he led an army of 200,000 and went to Xuzhou in five ways to capture Liu Bei.

Liu Bei sent his advisor Sun Qian to Yuan Shao for help, but Yuan Shao was reluctant to send troops because of his youngest son's illness, and only promised Liu Bei that he could defect to him when he was unsatisfied.

Cao Cao's soldiers and horses attacked the city, Liu Bei had nothing to do, listened to Zhang Fei's words, and went to Cao Ying to rob the village overnight. Who knew that he was ambushed by Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were separated, Liu Bei rode a horse and defected to Yuan Shao, and Zhang Fei fled to Mangdang (dà

g) Mountain Temporary Residence.

Yuan Shao heard that Liu Bei was coming to take refuge, and led his subordinates out of the city for thirty miles to greet him.

Cao Cao captured Xuzhou and then captured Pi (pī), Guan Yu protected Liu Bei's wife and other families, and was surrounded by Cao Cao's military horses on a mountain.

Zhang Liao went up the mountain to persuade Guan Yu to surrender to Cao Cao, Guan Yu thought twice and agreed to surrender Cao, but there were three conditions: first, only the Han Dynasty, not Cao Cao; 2. Use Liu Bei's money to raise his two sisters-in-law; 3. Once you know Liu Bei's whereabouts, you have to look for him.

Zhang Liao told Cao Cao about Guan Yu's conditions, and Cao Cao finally agreed. Guan Yu protected Liu Bei's two wives and followed Cao Cao to Xudu, on the way Cao Cao deliberately let Guan Yu live in the same room with his two sisters-in-law, Guan Yu held a candle in one hand and a knife in the other, and stood outdoors all night. Cao Cao admired it very much.

Cao Cao gave Guan Yu a small banquet on the third day and a big banquet on the fifth day, and gave countless beauties and gold and silver treasures.

Guan Yu asked the beauty to serve her sister-in-law, and the property was handed over to her sister-in-law for temporary collection.

Cao Cao gave Lu Bu's red rabbit horse to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu thanked him repeatedly.

Cao Cao felt strange and asked him why he had never been grateful for the things he had received before, but today he had repeatedly thanked him. Guan Yu said that with this maxima, he could find his eldest brother Liu Bei one day earlier.

After Cao Cao heard this, he felt very regretful.

Yuan Shao raised troops to attack Cao Cao, and Cao Cao led 50,000 soldiers and horses to meet the battle.

Yan Liangyong, the vanguard of the Yuan army, was unstoppable, and even beheaded Cao generals Song Xian and Wei Xu.

The strategist Cheng Yu suggested that Cao Cao instead send Guan Yu to face Yan Liang, so that Yuan Shao hated Guan Yu and killed Liu Bei.

Guan Yu went to war, he thanked Cao Cao for taking care of him, so he killed Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang, and the next day beheaded Yuan Shao's other general, Wen Chou.

Cao Cao won a big victory.

Yuan Shao knew that it was Liu Bei's second brother who killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, so he asked someone to kidnap Liu Bei. Liu Bei said, "Cao Cao deliberately let Guan Yu kill two generals first to provoke you, and then borrow your hand to kill me." I'll write to Guan Yu to Hebei to join you right away, how about it? ”

Yuan Shao was very happy when he heard this, so he didn't kill Liu Bei. When Guan Yu saw Liu Bei's letter, he said goodbye to Cao Cao, who deliberately avoided meeting. Guan Yu left all the belongings and beauties that Cao Cao sent him in the past, hung his Hanshou Pavilion Hou Dayin in the camp, left Cao Cao a letter, and escorted the two sisters-in-law to find Liu Bei.

Cao Cao thought of the conditions he had promised Guan Yu before, so he rushed to see Guan Yu off.

Guan Yu was afraid that Cao Cao would have a ghost, so he immediately picked up the brocade robe that Cao Cao gave him with the tip of his knife and put it on. Cao Cao's subordinates thought that Guan Yu was too rude and wanted to kill Guan Yu several times, but Cao Cao stopped him.

Guan Yu protected the two sisters-in-law to come to Dongling Pass, and the guard Kong Xiu said that he didn't see Cao Cao's paperwork and blocked Guan Yu from passing the pass, so he was killed by Guan Yu.

Luoyang guarded Han Fu and blocked Guan Yu, and Meng Tan challenged Guan Yu, and was cut into two by Guan Yu, Han Fu shot Guan Yu's left arm with a dark arrow, Guan Yu pulled out the arrow with his mouth, and Pegasus beheaded Han Fu.

Guan Yu arrived at the Si (汜sì) Water Pass, and the guard general Bian Xi ambushed the knife and axe hand in Zhenguo Temple, and agreed to kill Guan Yu by smashing the cup as a code.

The monk Pujing, who presided over the temple, was Guan Yu's fellow villager and told Guan Yu about Bian Xi's conspiracy, and Guan Yu was furious and beheaded Bian Xi.

Guan Yu arrived in Xingyang, Xingyang Taishou Wang Zhi was a relative of Han Fu, and wanted to kill Guan Yu to avenge Han Fu, so he secretly prepared to set fire to Guan Yu.

Wang Zhi's subordinate Hu Ban told Guan Yu about Wang Zhi's conspiracy, Guan Yu hurriedly went on the road, Wang Zhi led his troops to chase after him, and was killed by Guan Yu.

When Guan Yu arrived at the mouth of the Yellow River, the guard general Qin Qi did not let Guan Yu cross the river, and was killed by Guan Yu again. After crossing the Yellow River, it was Yuan Shao's territory, and he met Sun Qian there.

Sun Qian told Guan Yu that Liu Bei had gone to Runan and asked Guan Yu and his two wives to meet in Runan.

Guan Yu and Sun Qian re-crossed the Yellow River and set out for Runan, and Cao Cao's general Xiahou squatted (惇dū

The leader chased after him and fought with Guan Yu.

At this time, Zhang Liao arrived to convey Cao Cao's order, and only then did he let Guan Yu and his party go.

Guan Yu continued to move forward, and received a fierce general Zhou Cang halfway.

When he walked to the ancient city, Zhang Fei in the city thought that Guan Yu had surrendered to Cao Cao, and refused to recognize him, so he raised his gun and stabbed Guan Yu.

At this time, Cao Cao's troops killed Cai Yang to avenge his nephew Qin Qi. Zhang Fei asked Guan Yu to behead Cai Yang behind the three-way drum before he was willing to recognize him, and Guan Yu beheaded Cai Yang before the drum was finished.

Only then did Zhang Fei understand Guan Yu's hard work, so he cried loudly and knelt in front of Guan Yu to apologize.

Who knew that Liu Bei went to Yuan Shao in Hebei at this time.

Guan Yu and Sun Qian rushed to Guanjiazhuang, Hebei Province to see Liu Bei, and when the brothers saw each other, they hugged their heads and cried.

During this period, Guan Yu accepted Guan Ping as his righteous son.

Liu Bei was afraid that Yuan Shao would chase after him, so he and Guan Yu went straight to the ancient city where Zhang Fei was stationed.

When passing through Woniu Mountain on the way, he met Zhao Yun and went to the ancient city together.

Liu Bei reunited with his two younger brothers, and got Zhao Yun, Guan Ping, and Zhou Cang, so everyone slaughtered cattle and sheep to celebrate the reunion. However, Liu Bei considered that the ancient city was too small, so he led his men and horses to garrison Runan, recruit troops and buy horses, and seek other big things.

For this story, posterity sighed: everything, because of women.

Isn't? Because the woman revealed the plan to kill Cao; Or because of women, Guan Yu passed five levels and killed six generals, how many people (including Dong Cheng, Ji Ping, Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan, Dong Guifei; Yan Liang, Wen Chou; Dongling Pass guard Kong Xiu, Taishou Han Fu, Ya general Meng Tan, Si [汜sì] Shui Pass guard general Bian Xi, Xingyang Taishou Wang Zhi, Yellow River Estuary guard Qin Qi, and Cai Yang who chased after him to seek revenge) died in this incident!

Women, history sighs for you......
