Later, Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to escape because of the summoning of clothes, killed Pi Tai and guarded the car, and let Guan Yu guard Xiapi, and he and Zhang Feitun Xiaopei. Cao Cao sent Liu Dai and Wang Zhong to attack, but they were repelled by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. After Cao Cao personally went out, Liu Bei was defeated, Guan Yu was captured, and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei fled to Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei fled south after learning about it, but was defeated in Dangyang, and after Zhang Fei broke off, he broke the bridge according to the water and yelled to deter Cao's army. Later, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei converged and went to Jiangxia.

Later, Liu Bei formed an alliance with Sun Quan, and Zhang Fei participated in the Battle of Chibi with Liu Bei and the Battle of Jiangling with Zhou Yu. After Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou, he appointed Zhang Fei as the Taishou of Yidu and the general of the conquest, and made him the Marquis of Xinting, and then transferred to Nanjun.

In the seventeenth year of Jian'an (212), Liu Bei entered Shu, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang and others guarded Jingzhou. Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun intercepted Mrs. Sun together and recaptured Liu Bei's son Liu Chan.

Zhang Fei explained Yan Yan, pacified Ba County and Brazil County, and joined Liu Bei in Chengdu. After Liu Zhang, the Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, gave Zhang Fei 500 catties of gold, 1,000 catties of silver, 50 million catties of money, and 1,000 horses of brocade. and appointed Zhang Fei as the Brazilian Taishou.

In the following year, Liu Bei personally led the army to attack Hanzhong, Huang Zhong killed Xiahou Yuan in Dingjun Mountain, and then repelled Cao Cao and occupied Hanzhong.

【Zhang Fei's Death】

In the first year of Zhang Wu (221), Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor, Zhang Fei was promoted to the general of the chariot and cavalry and the captain of the division, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Xixiang, and was canonized and said: "I promise the mandate of heaven, continue the great cause of the Han family, sweep away the remnants of the enemy and quell the troubles, but I have not yet ruled the world." Now that the thieves are in turmoil, the people are suffering, and the people with lofty ideals who miss the Han family are all looking forward to the rejuvenation of the country. I was so sorrowful that I couldn't sit at the table, and I couldn't eat well, and I put all the armies in order, and I took the oath, and prepared to do the right thing for heaven and punish the rebellious ministers and thieves. Because you are loyal and resolute, just like the famous ministers of King Xuan of Zhou summoning Bohu, the sound shocks far and near, so it is hereby announced that you will be promoted to an official and a knight, and you are authorized to take charge of the guards of Kyoto. You should assist the king in spreading his grace, pacifying the people with kindness, and defeating rebellion with torture to fulfill my desires. The "Book of Songs" says well, 'You can't intrude on the people, you can't rush forward, everything must be based on the etiquette of the dynasty'. 'Work hard to accomplish great deeds, and I will reward you with blessings.' You have to work hard! At the beginning, Zhang Fei was mighty and powerful, second only to Guan Yu, and Cheng Yu, the advisor of the Wei State, praised Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for their unstoppable spirit.

Guan Yu is very kind to the lower-level soldiers, and is very arrogant to the upper-level scholars; Zhang Fei, on the other hand, respects the upper echelons of society and does not caress the soldiers and the common people. Liu Bei often admonished Zhang Fei: "You overuse the criminal law, whip the soldiers at will, and arrange these beaten people to do things around you, you will bring disaster upon yourself if you do this!" Zhang Fei still did not repent after hearing this. Liu Bei conquered Eastern Wu, and Zhang Fei complied with the order to prepare to lead 10,000 horses and send troops from Langzhong to Jiangzhou to meet Liu Bei. Before sending troops, Zhang Fei's subordinates killed Zhang Fei and Fan Qiang, cut off his head, and went down the river to Sun Quan. As soon as Liu Bei heard that Zhang Fei was on the table, he said: "Alas! Zhang Fei died. So he posthumously named Zhang Fei as "Huan Hou".

【Trumpet Guan Yu】

Although Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are both known as ten thousand enemies in history, in fact, Guan Yu is slightly better than Zhang Fei in all aspects. In terms of military affairs, Guan Yu had enough ability to garrison one side, and was directly left in Jingzhou by Liu Bei in the later period, and for Zhang Fei, Liu Bei did not dare to leave him in Hanzhong.

In terms of force, there is a clear record in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" that "flying majestic and mighty, inferior to Guan Yu". In history, if Guan Yu lost Jingzhou to Liu Bei, then Zhang Fei lost Xuzhou for Liu Bei, both of them also have shortcomings in their personalities, Guan Yu treats soldiers more than doctors, Zhang Fei respects the soldiers and does not cherish soldiers, as a result, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both died due to the rebellion of their subordinates.

On the whole, Zhang Fei's status and ability in the history of the Three Kingdoms and the Shu Han Group are not comparable to Guan Yu.
