During the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu 's loyalty, righteousness and courage were very popular, so that he was later named as a Jiewu Emperor by emperors of all dynasties. This rhythm has always been Guan Yu's brand character and is respected by future generations.
However, as it is common saying, Guan Gong will also go to Maicheng , describing people always have luck. So why did Guan Yu go to Maicheng later? When Jingzhou was in a tight position, why didn’t Liu Feng , which was so close to you, come to help?
This brings up today's topic . Why didn't Liu Bei over-suppose the eldest son Liu Feng's responsibility? Later What did Zhuge Liang say in ? Although it only had 11 words, it called Liu Bei killing him. directly killed Liu Feng? Today we will talk about the historical background and deep reasons for Guan Yu's murder.
Guan Gong is fierce and Cao Gong is afraid of
Liu Guan and Zhang San's alliance determine the basic structure of Liu Bei's group. From this perspective, Liu Bei kept Guan Yu in Jingzhou, which means giving his wealth and life to this brother. Because no matter how Liu Bei developed in Shu, Jingzhou was their base.
But the problem is that Jingzhou was borrowed by Liu Bei based on the moral kidnapped by the old Liu family. Fundamentally, Liu Bei only has the right to use but no ownership. This means that once Jingzhou is lost, the new arrival of Liu Bei will lose logistics supply in Shu, and this is crucial for Liu Bei at that time.
Just as Liu Bei won Hanzhong , Guan Yu was not idle in Jingzhou . This led the troops to siege Xiangyang and Fancheng, attracting Cao Cao to send general to ban to rescue, forming an internal and external trend with Lu Chang trapped in Xiangyang city.
is also considered a blessing from God. At this time, heavy rain fell from the sky. , and a torrent directly swept over Yu Jin's reinforcements. This is the historically known as flooding the Seven Armies . Later, Yu Jin was captured, and even the Pang De who came to rush for assistance later died in front of the formation.
In the 24th year of Jian'an, in order to respond to the great victory in Hanzhong, Guan Yu appointed a general to stay in his rear, Jiangling and the Public Security Bureau, and led his army to separate and surround Fancheng and Xiangfan , which caused Cao Ren's panic and hurriedly reported to Cao Cao to support him.
can also be regarded as Yu Jin's luck, stationed his team in a low-lying area in August, which has planted hidden dangers for the subsequent misfortune. Later, some people said that Guan Yu built a dam to store floods that flooded Cao's army. In fact, under the environment at that time, Guan Yu did not need to be so busy and could destroy Cao's army by directly using the terrain.
Cao Cao received the battle report from the front and lost his two generals at once. He was very angry, so he personally led the army to attack Jingzhou. Guan Yu was very confused about this situation.
Because the Shu army was in the limelight at this time, it was completely possible to win Xiangfan in one go. But when he saw Cao Cao coming in a fierce manner, he had the idea of using the reserve team.
What Guan Yu didn't know was that at this time Cao Cao had already contacted Sun Quan and planned to join forces with Wu Guo to destroy Guan Yu. For Sun Quan, on the one hand, he was threatened by Cao Cao, and on the other hand, because Guan Yu was a fierce man, he would not have a good relationship with Sun Wu , and Sun Quan was also eager to get back the Jingzhou land that he had previously lent to Liu Bei.
It is in this context that Sun Quan began to numb Guan Yu and sent Lu Xun to show weakness and Guan Yu . This person wrote a letter to Guan Yu that the Sun and Liu families are still good friends and allies, and asked Guan Yu to concentrate on dealing with Cao Cao.
Guan Yu wanted to win in Xiangfan, so he indeed pulled the defenders who were originally staying in Jiangling to the front line of Xiangyang , causing Jingzhou's defense to be empty. The Wu army took advantage of the situation and captured Jiangling and the Public Security Bureau, directly cutting off the supply line from Jingzhou to Hanzhong.
Guan Yu did not know that there had been any changes in the base area, and he was still commanding the army to attack Xiangyang.However, the battle situation at this time had reversed. Not only did Xiangyang not take it down, Guan Yu's team retreated and there was no place to go for a while.
Until this time, Guan Yu learned that Jingzhou had been taken back from Dongwu . There was no basis for relying on it, so Guan Yu had to go to Maicheng and prepare to rest here. Unexpectedly, the Shu army had no fighting spirit at this time and disintegrated. The poor generation of powerful generals Guan Yu and his son were captured and ordered to be thrown into the underworld.
If you don’t save Liu Feng, you will not be able to defend him
In fact, Guan Yu was not fighting alone in Jingzhou. On , Shangyong , there were Liu Feng, the generals of the Shu army, and Mengda , who were guarding him. Shangyong is also under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, and it is only three hundred miles away from Jiangling. If Liu Feng had helped him at that time, Jingzhou might not have been lost, and Guan Yu might not have died.
When attacking Xiangyang, Guan Yu had already informed Liu Feng, and hoped that Liu Bei's adopted son could divide his troops to help. Later, when the battle situation was tense to siege Xiangyang, Guan Yu once again wrote a letter to Liu Feng, urgently asking Liu Feng to send troops quickly. However, Liu Feng ignored Guan Yu's repeated requests for help and delayed sending troops to help. This scene is very strange.
In today's opinion, Liu Feng's refusal to send troops is understandable . One of the reasons is that Liu Feng was not originally named Liu. This person was originally named Kou Feng . Because his mother died early, she lived with her uncle since childhood.
Coincidentally, Kou Feng's uncle was a local gentleman and made great friends with Liu Bei. At that time, Liu Bei had no son, , Liu Chan, . Kou Feng's uncle saw that Liu Bei had no heirs, so he instigated Liu Bei to adopt his nephew as his adopted son. When Liu Bei saw that Kou Feng was a good-looking person and had martial arts skills, he became Liu Feng and since then he followed Liu Bei to make achievements.
Later, Liu Bei developed to Hanzhong, and left Liu Feng to guard Shangyong, which could be regarded as leaving a helper for Guan Yu . However, after Liu Chan was born, Guan Yu said bluntly that Liu Feng was just an adopted son and could not be regarded as Liu Bei's successor. It is because of this sentence that Liu Feng had a grudge against Guan Yu.
For this reason, it is understandable that Liu Feng refused to save Guan Yu when he was dead . But the problem is not just that, because Liu Feng had already made outstanding achievements at this time, and his temper was even more peering at Liu Bei's events behind him. Because in Liu Feng's opinion, he made the most contribution to Western Shu, but Liu Chan was a furious child and would not be of great use in the future.
It is with the blessing of this heart that Liu Feng's urgent request for help from Guan Yu not only did not echo , but instead directly rejected Guan Yu's request as an excuse for the unstable situation.
Liu Feng refused to help Guan Yu, which directly attracted Liu Bei's dissatisfaction with , so he changed his anger at Liu Feng. Later, Liu Feng lost Shangyong and retreated to Hanzhong in a panic, and was severely rebuked by Liu Bei. After all, Guan Yu was Liu Bei's sworn brother, but Liu Bei did not deal with Liu Feng further at this time.
Later, Zhuge Liang returned to the court to meet Liu Bei , and the two discussed how to deal with Liu Feng. As soon as he saw Liu Bei still thinking about the father-son relationship with Liu Feng, Zhuge Liang just said something softly. Feng Ganglie was afraid that he would be unable to control afterwards.
The sentence "html" has a lot of information. It is translated as "Liu Feng is proud of his contributions and a strong personality". If we are a hundred years later, Liu Chan will be difficult to control. Who is Liu Bei? He woke up as if he heard this, so he gave Liu Feng to commit suicide .
Conclusion
Today we review the general loss of Jingzhou . actually lamented Liu Feng’s short-sightedness . In fact, as long as he can help Guan Yu, even if he fails later, he will not lose his life.
