In 219 AD, the battle of Xiangfan broke out. Guan Yu attacked Xiangyang , besieged Fancheng, captured at ban , and killed Pangde , which shocked China and was incredible for a while. However, with the addition of the Sun Quan camp, the situation in Jingzhou took a sharp turn for the worse. Guan Yu was eventually defeated and died under the joint strangulation of Wei and Wu. It is estimated that many friends think that Guan Yu was too arrogant and humiliated Sun Quan many times. When he eventually led a large-scale attack on Fancheng, Jingzhou was attacked by Lu Meng . But is it really wrong for Guan Yu who opened his mouth and shut up and refused to accept his contempt for Sun Quan? Judging from the analysis of the original work, it was surprisingly discovered that Sun Quan really has nothing to be seen by Guan Yu, and some operational lower limits directly lowered Sun Quan's image of the Three Kingdoms.
Episode 1 Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" for Liu Bei When introducing the general trend of the world, he also praised Sun Quan and said: Sun Quan owned Jiangdong, and has been in three lifetimes. The country is in danger and the people are attached. This can be used as aid but cannot be achieved. Liu Bei also agreed with it deeply. When Guan Yu was guarding Jingzhou, he was responsible for the people of Mount Tai. Why was he so ruthless to the Lord of Jiangdong Sun Quan? Let’s analyze below: Why does Guan Yu look down on Sun Quan?
Jiangdong was created by Sun Jian , laying the foundation during the Sun Ce period. Sun Jian was the vanguard of the Allied Army when he was defying Dong Zhuo. He was unyielding and was afraid of Dong Zhuo. Sun Ce is a young hero, brave and good at fighting. He has also recruited a large number of talents, such as Zhang Zhao , Zhou Yu , and veteran Cheng Pu , Huang Gai , Han Dang , etc. After Sun Ce's death, the major events in Jiangdong fell on Sun Quan. Sun Quan can also be regarded as a young hero. He can stabilize the situation in Jiangdong at a young age. Battle of Jiangxia even defeated Huang Zu and avenged his father. In the eyes of others, Sun Zhongmou is really a hero in the world, but in Guan Yu's opinion, Sun Quan has three major shortcomings that cannot be compensated!
One, borrowed from the name of brother.
When talking about heroes by cooking green plum wine, Liu Bei once called Sun Ce "leader Jiangdong" in front of Cao Cao , but Cao Cao believed that Sun Ce was "borrowing the name of his father" and was not a hero. This sentence also applies to Sun Quan, because Sun Quan stood on the basis of his father and brother and was the leader of Jiangdong. In particular, the Jiangdong Jiye was established by Sun Ce as a captain, and after dozens of battles, he started his career as a thousand soldiers. If Sun Ce hadn't killed too much, had too many enemies, and died in his prime, how could Sun Quan take charge of Jiangdong?
When Sun Ce died, he instructed Sun Quan to "ask Zhou Yu if he is not determined in foreign affairs, and ask Zhang Zhao if he is not determined in internal affairs." This shows that Sun Ce was still very worried about his younger brother before he died. Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao are indeed rare talents. They are not only loyal but also capable. Especially when Zhou Yu was alive, Zhou Yu was basically the main event in Jiangdong. So in Guan Yu's opinion, in addition to being a little special, Sun Quan was completely an incompetent second-generation official, relying entirely on the foundation of his father and brother.
Second, the record is too poor.
Cao Cao once praised Sun Ce for "it is difficult to compete with" and believed that Sun Ce was extremely brave and should not be underestimated. But when Sun Quan took power, Jiangdong became a situation where foreign affairs were all dependent on the governor. The Battle of Red Cliff was Zhou Yu who turned the tide and saved Jiangdong. And every time Sun Quan wanted to show his force, he was ruthlessly slapped in the face.
A small Hefei fought many times but failed to take it. He led a 100,000 army to defeat the Wei general Zhang Liao and was almost captured. Except for losing troops and losing generals, Sun Quan was nothing. Guan Yu is so powerful that he is in China and has outstanding military achievements. How can Guan Yu, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, respect "Sun Shiwan"?
Third, my subordinates are too slow.
Jiangdong military uses Zhou Yu, Lusu , Lu Meng, Luxun as the commander, Cheng Pu, Ganning , Lingtong , Zhou Tai and others as the minions. But in Guan Yu's opinion, although Zhou Yu is powerful, he is a short-lived ghost. Although Lu Su knows it generally, he is a peacemaker. Lu Meng should not be underestimated but a sick man, and Lu Xun is even an unknown nerd. As for Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Gan Ning and others, they are even more intrigued by Guan Yu. Apart from being able to fight, there is no one who can show off.
Lu Su held a banquet by the river and invited Guan Yu to discuss matters. Guan Yu knew that Lu Su had bad intentions, but he dared to go there happily.In addition to the fact that , Guan Ping, and others were already prepared, Guan Yu was proud of the generals from Jiangdong. In Guan Yu's view, except for Wei general Zhang Liao, Xu Huang , Zhang Fei , Zhao Yun are brothers, even Ma Chao , Huang Zhong are not attracted by it, let alone the Jiangdong rats!
To sum up, Sun Quan started his career with his father and brother, while the two did not have outstanding achievements, and in the end, there were no famous generals under his command. How could Guan Yu, who has always been strong and proud, respect Sun Quan? What's more, when Lu Meng and Lu Xun discussed secretly taking Jingzhou, he also wrote a letter to praise Guan Gong . Guan Yu was praised suddenly and looked down on the people of Jiangdong even more.
As for Jingzhou's defeat and captured, how could Guan Yu bow his head when facing Sun Quan, who had always despised him? Therefore, before his death, Guan Yu did not forget to curse Sun Quan as a purple-bearded rat, a man from Jiangdong. Guan Yu looked down on Sun Quan, why did Cao Cao, who was also an enemy, praise Sun Quan for "Hasting a child as Sun Zhongmou "? In fact, by changing the angle, you can find that Sun Quan is not as simple as Guan Yu thought.
First of all, Sun Quan seems to be taking over the foundation of his father and brother, but in fact he is standing on the edge of the fire pit. Because Sun Ce killed too much, the Jiangdong gentry was reluctant to cooperate with the Sun family. When Sun Quan succeeded, Jiangdong was full of dangers and civil strife. With the assistance of Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others, Sun Quan gradually stabilized the situation in Jiangdong, and it was not easy for him to be young.
In terms of employment, Sun Quan is even the top expert in the Three Kingdoms. For example, the four commanders Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun rely on their confidants, forming family ties within and brothers outside, and all of them are willing to die for them. The generals of Jiangdong were even more respected, and surrendered generals such as Gan Ning were also entrusted with important tasks. In terms of diplomacy, Sun Quan was a capable person who could bend and stretch, such as Liu resisted Cao , and colluded with Cao Cao to plot against Jingzhou. The political means are completely beyond Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang. It is precisely because the generals in Jiangdong were united that what Zhuge Liang said was only available as aid, but could not be tried.
Since the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao has prepared for war in the north and has also fought south in Jiangdong many times, but each time he has no choice but to end it. Facing Sun Quan, who knew people and was good at placing his father's name, Cao Cao also looked at the rolling Yangtze River and secretly praised himself: He should be like Sun Zhongmou for having a son!
