Guan Yu is the only famous general of the Shu Han, the first general in the official history of the Three Kingdoms, and the only enemy of the Three Kingdoms and the general of the bear and tiger. However, Guan Yu was only a Han Shouting Hou from the time he was crowned to his death, and he was also Liu Bei. The enemy of Cao Cao, although the title was of more symbolic significance than actual meaning, because he did not enjoy Feng Yu in the troubled times, Guan Yu still used the title of Han Shouting Marquis for a lifetime. Even if he was killed in the battle of Xiangfan, Guan Yu remained But it was Han Shouting Hou.
The Marquis of Han Shouting is a kind of title. The title is different from the official position. The title can be inherited, but the official position cannot be inherited. Guan Yu's official position has been changing throughout his life, but the title has never changed. The title indicates that he can enjoy the tax income of the people in a certain place. The tax income of the place where the title is located belongs to the owner of the title. The title of Guan Yu of means that the title of Hanshouting is owned by Guan Yu .

In addition, there are three types of marquis: county marquis, town marquis, and pavilion. This is consistent with the administrative area of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The counties of the Eastern Han Dynasty set up townships, the countryside set up pavilions, the pavilions set up li, and Guan Yu's knighthood. It is Ting Hou, similar to Guan Yu: Yu Jin is Yishou Ting Hou, Li Dian is Du Ting Hou, Pound is Guan Men Ting Hou, these are all Ting Hou. So Guan Yu's Han Shou Ting Hou can be pronounced: Han Shou Ting-hou , or Han Shou-Ting Hou. The former refers to a place called Hanshouting, and the latter refers to a place called Hanshou, but they are all Tinghous. They are definitely not county princes or village princes, because at that time, except for Xiahou Dun who was a town prince, Cao Cao’s men All the other generals are Tinghou or no hou in the Guan, but there is no town hou or county hou.
Guan Yu was named this title because Guan Yu made great contributions in the Battle of the White Horse. At that time, when Guan Yu turned to Cao Cao, Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu in Xuzhou. Later he turned to Cao Cao. Cao Cao and Liu Bei destroyed Lu Bu. Liu Bei attacked Cao Cao’s Xuzhou again. Cao Cao conquered Liu Bei. Liu Bei was defeated and fled. Guan Yu was captured in Xiapi City, so he temporarily took refuge in Cao Cao. Guan Yu was unwilling to follow Cao Cao. It was just that he took refuge in Cao Cao to save his life. Repaying Cao Cao's grace for not killing, he was brave in the Battle of the White Horse.
Cao Cao's imperial court seals Guan Yu
At that time, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao were the forwards of Cao Cao. The two generals led their troops to the White Horse. Guan Yu went straight to the chief general of Yuan Junzhong, and then killed Yan Liang under Yan Liang's command. This situation is rare in China in the cold weapon era for thousands of years. The entire white horse was relieved when Yan Liang died. This was all the credit of Guan Yu. At that time, he was knighted by his military merits. Cao Cao named Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty as the Hou of Han Shouting. The title of
went through due process and was listed by Cao Cao and approved by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. It is considered a rightful title. Therefore, Guan Yu has always used this title. Although he did not enjoy Feng Yu, it still contains a lot of gold in name, despite Guan Yu's. The official position has been changing, from Zhonglang general to Pian general, then to Dangkou general, and finally to the former general, Jijieyue, but the title has always been Han Shoutinghou.
Why did Guan Yu follow Liu Bei and never increase the title? Even in name?
sealed Guan Yu as Han Shoutinghou
for a very simple reason. At first it was unnecessary, then there was no time, and later it was just not enough.
Guan Yu is the Shouting Hou of Han. This has always been a name, with no actual effect. In troubled times, where can we collect taxes? Besides, this Han Shou Ting Marquis was probably on Cao Cao’s site. Guan Yu followed Liu Bei and was Cao Cao’s enemy. This title was useless. It was just a name, the authentic Han Shou Ting Marquis of the Eastern Han government, so Liu Bei did not need to be named. , Anyway, there is a name.
Compare with Zhang Fei and you will know that Zhang Fei’s first title was not granted until Liu Bei took over the four counties of Jingnan. It was Xinting Hou, also a Ting Hou, the same as Guan Yu, but better than Guan Yu Nine years later, Zhang Fei had always existed at the same level as Guan Yu but slightly lower than Guan Yu, so Liu Bei also sealed a nominal Tinghou to Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei remained Xintinghou until his death.
Han Shouting and Hou Guanyu
Liu Bei has been very busy ever since he was invited by Liu Zhang to enter Yizhou. He entered Sichuan in 211 AD and captured Chengdu in 215 AD, and captured Liu Zhang. In the same year, Sun Quan asked Liu Bei for Jingzhou, and Liu Bei again. He led tens of thousands of horses from Yizhou to Jingzhou to support the confrontation between Guan Yu and Sun Quan. Later, because Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, Liu BeiThe two sides immediately demarcated the boundary between Xiangshui and Liu Bei, and then Liu Bei rushed to Yizhou non-stop, but Cao Cao withdrew his troops. Then Huang Quan and Fazheng suggested that Liu Bei attack Hanzhong. Liu Bei prepared for a year, and then launched the Hanzhong War, the Hanzhong War. It lasted for more than two years, and finally defeated Cao Cao in 219 AD, and took Hanzhong, and then Liu Bei became the king of Hanzhong.
Before Liu Bei became the king of Hanzhong, Guan Yu had already led his army to attack Xiangfan northward. Then Liu Bei sent Liu Feng and Meng Da to attack the three counties of Shangyong. Then the battle of Xiangfan broke out. Guan Yu captured the ban, beheaded Pound, Encircling Xiangyang and attacking Fancheng, Cao Cao almost moved his capital. Liu Bei of Yizhou was also always paying attention to the battle on the front line in Xiangfan. However, after Sun Quan's attack on Jingzhou, the situation took a turn for the worse. Guan Yu had no intention of fighting on the Xiangfan front. The army disintegrated, defeated Maicheng, and then Guan Yu broke through and was captured, and soon he was beheaded by Sun Quan, and the head was given to Cao Cao.
Guan Yu
and this series of things happened, Liu Bei was too busy to take care of these knighthood matters. Shu Han has been fighting with foreign countries. How can I spare time to discuss knighthood matters? There is a standard process for knighthood. To make a list and make a list of military exploits, the two Han dynasties were awarded military merits, and they needed to be discussed by the officials. Finally, with the approval of Liu Bei, Liu Bei was very busy at this time, busy with foreign wars, and did not have the mood and time to go to these things, and it was just one In name, it has no practical meaning.
After Guan Yu was killed, Liu Bei was even more busy, and there was no need to knighthood again. Re-appointment was just a chase. Liu Bei became emperor in the second year after Guan Yu died. This was Liu Bei’s lifelong pursuit. The emperor launched the Battle of Yiling two months later, and was defeated by Lu Xun the following year, and fled back to Yongan Palace in embarrassment. This was the last time in his life. Liu Bei was depressed after the defeat, and he needed to be entrusted. The funeral affairs, other things are not so important anymore, so Guan Yu has regarded himself as Han Shoutinghou all his life, and Liu Bei did not give Guan Yu a marquee in his lifetime. Z1z
Han Shouting Hou
Guan Yu died 40 years after the death of Guan Yu, in 260 AD, Guan Yu was named Zhuang Miao Hou by Liu Chan, but most of the marquis was a summary of the nature, and made a conclusion about Guan Yu's life. The posthumous title of the minister discussed.
