The war in Jingzhou was unfavorable. Guan Yu retreated to Maicheng and had almost reached the brink of Yizhou forces. Therefore, Guan Yu sent Liao Hua to break out of the siege and run to Shangyong to find Liu Feng to move troops.
Under the cover of level , Liao Hua successfully broke through to Shangyong. Liu Feng and Mengda, who had already known the news of Guan Yu's defeat, refused to send troops on the grounds of uneasiness of the three counties, which led to Guan Yu being captured by Linju Xiaolu.
Guan Yu's defeat, most people will blame Mi Fang Fu Shiren and Liu Feng Mengda. It seems that it was because of Mi Fu's kneeling surrender and Liu Meng's desperate situation that Guan Yu's life was cut off.
Some people also believe that Guan Yu had the opportunity to break through the siege and escape back to Chengdu, but for various reasons, he adopted the suggestion of former governor Zhao Lei , and held on to help in Maicheng, so he lost the best opportunity to break through. It seems that Guan Gong was cheated by Zhao Lei's paper talk.
Should Zhao Lei be responsible for Guan Yu being captured and killed? This man has been killed in battle and has shown courage and backbone than Mi Fang and Fu Shiren. It seems a bit unkind to pour this basin of sewage on him.
Guan Yu was captured by Linju. The descriptions of history books and novels are exactly the same. Another problem arises here: General Zuo and Duting Hou Ma Chao , who were enthroned by Liu Bei at that time, seemed to be the governor of Linju. Wasn't Guan Yu arrested by the Eastern Wu ambush in Ma Chao's defense area?
There are more than one general of the Eastern Wu who lured the enemy and ambushed on the Linju Road. It is well documented that Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang are all among them. So many Wu soldiers sneaked into Ma Chao's defense zone. Afterwards, Liu Bei did not hold Ma Chao accountable, but only killed Liu Feng, which was a bit strange.
. No matter how much responsibility Liu Feng and Ma Chao should bear for Guan Yu's defeat, let's talk about one question today: Liao Hua was at most a second-rate general at that time, and he could still break through the siege and run to Shangyong. Guan Yu, who killed Yan Liang in the ten thousand horse army, is a recognized enemy of thousands of people in the world. If he fought his life to Shangyong or Chengdu, which general of the Eastern Wu could stop him?
This is a relatively difficult question to answer: Although Guan Yu had an arm injury, he had basically recovered. Cao Cao's first-class hero Xu Huang , fought with Guan Yu for 80 rounds without a winner. Xu Huang was very proud, and Guan Yu was very regretful - that meant that Guan Yu had hope to kill Xu Huang on the horse.
If Guan Yu was determined to escape, there were not many people who could stop and catch up with him during the entire Three Kingdoms period, but he did not successfully break through like Liao Hua. The reason for this is very complicated. Some people say that this is because Liao Hua's goal is small and Guan Yu's goal is large. If Guan Yu breaks through, then the generals of the Eastern Wu may rush forward and finally use fatigue tactics to force Guan Yu to retreat to Maicheng.
This explanation makes no sense: breaking through requires a suddenness. Guan Yu has Red Rabbit Horse and Qinglong Yanyue Knife . The breakthrough is only in a blink of an eye. When Pan Zhang and others react, they must be out of reach.
So there was a second saying: Guan Yu relied on his identity and refused to do such a small matter as asking for help. He just needed to wait for Liu Feng and Mengda to lead his troops to attack inside and outside.
There is also a huge loophole in this explanation: Guan Yu only has five or six hundred people in Maicheng, and most of them are injured. Can it support Liao Hua to move back to rescue soldiers? Even if Liu Feng and Meng Da really come to rescue him for life, how many soldiers can they bring?
Guan Yu is familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period, and " Sun Tzu's Art of War " should also be involved, and he should have a clear understanding of the current situation. The reason why he sent Liao Hua to break through and asks for help and guard the dangerous city was because Zhao Lei's suggestion played a great role: "Here is similar to Shangyong, and Liu Feng and Meng Da are guarding there, so you can quickly send people to ask for help. If you get this army and horse to help the Sichuan army arrive, your morale will be at peace."
The reason why Guan Yu adopted Zhao Lei's suggestion was that he was unwilling to lose Jingzhou, and he also had a high trust in his "nephew" and "big brother": Jingzhou is gone, and the Longzhong match of Zhuge Military Advisor is over. They will definitely help me regain Jiangzhou to avenge the previous shame!
People always say that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Guan Yu was eager to see him in Maicheng. Not only did Shangyong not rescue the soldiers, but Xichuan also had no response. The governor Ma Chao seemed to fall asleep.
, Guan Yu, who was helpless, began to break through, but he had lost the best opportunity. During the period when he was trapped in Maicheng, the Eastern Wu made careful arrangements, and even the route of Guan Yu escaped was clear.
readers all know that the defeat of Jingxiang was not a matter of overnight. Cao Cao and Sun Quan rushed to the front line one after another, and Cao's army had basically finished fighting and finished work--they did not want to kill Guan Yu: "Cao's troops were stationed in Mopi, and appointed Xu Huang as the general of Pingnan, and guarded Xiahou Shang with Xiangyang to curb Guan Gong's army. Because Jingzhou was not settled, Cao stationed troops in Mopi to wait for news. "
Cao Cao fought well and had a good plan: Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang must save Jingzhou, and the Sun and Liu families must fight hard, and I can reap the benefits of the fisherman!
The result of the incident, readers all know: Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's performance disappointed Cao Cao and Guan Yu. This monarch and ministers are busy developing the economy in Xichuan. They don't seem to care about the war in Jingzhou at all. This battle has gone from the surge in autumn water to the heavy snow. Xichuan neither provides tactical guidance nor intelligence, and reinforcements and food are missing.
There is no food and grass in Guan Yu, so he has to exhaust his last bit of strength to break through. People are trapped and hungry, red rabbits cannot run, and the green dragon sword cannot be raised. Not to mention Pan Zhang and horses, even three or five small soldiers can drag Guan Yu off the horse. This is called the dragon trapped in the shallows and being caught in the flat sun and being bullied by dogs.
The tiger general Guan Yu left the curtain of sadness, leaving us with a bunch of difficult puzzles: Guan Yu was defeated, Cao Cao and Sun Quan went out one after another, did Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, who were stationed in Xichuan, really know nothing? If Guan Yu did not listen to Zhao Lei and completely gave up the idea of counterattack, could he break through the siege and escape back to Xichuan like Liao Hua? Guan Yu survived from Jingzhou, how would Liu Bei deal with him?
