It seems that Sun Quan is going to attack Jingzhou. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang knew the news in advance, but the order they gave Guan Yu was not to strictly guard against it, but to let him leave the base camp and march towards Xiangfan. The description of
is very unreliable, because both Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang can be regarded as first-class or even first-class politicians and military strategists at that time. Even though they knew that the back fence was going to enter the dog, they went to the front fence to kill cats. Wouldn’t they want to send Guan Yu to the dead end?
Jingzhou is Zhuge Liang's second hometown, and it is also the strategic support point for "Longzhong Gong". It is also half of Liu Bei's family. In order to give up Jingzhou in order to send Guan Yu to a dead end, neither Liu Bei nor Zhuge Liang would be so "generous".
"Longzhong Presidency" and strategic goal are to send generals out of Jingzhou when the world is beneficial to Western Shu but not to Cao Wei, and attack Liu Bei, who came out of Yizhou , and seize control of the Han emperor Liu Xie , and then "submitted the emperor to order the emperor to despise him", achieving the "hegemony" belonging to Liu Bei, that is, turning Liu Bei into a more "humble" and "loyal" Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao.
Zhuge Liang's plan may be three steps: the first step is to have a three-pointer; the second step is to destroy Cao and dominate the world; whether the third step is to achieve the imperial career depends on the situation.
According to the reliable news received by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, there were changes in Jingzhou that were not conducive to Shu Han. This was by no means the best time to provoke the war in Xiangfan - even the worst time was not considered a good time. If you want to conquer the city and capture the village to shock Cao Cao and Sun Quan, should you regard Cao Ren as mud, or Fancheng as paper? Even if Guan Yu conquered Fancheng, would Cao Cao and Sun Quan be scared and retracted?
The statement of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is unreliable. The records in "The Three Kingdoms" seem to be Cao Cao's intention to fight Guan Yu. Pang De was the ban on leading the seven armies to Xiangfan, and he should have started a war with Guan Yu under the command of Cao Ren.
"Three Kingdoms·Volume 1·Martial Emperor Wu": " In October of the winter of the 23rd year of Jian'an, Wan's general Hou Yin and others rebelled, and led the prefect of Nanyang , robbed officials and people to protect Wan. At first, Cao Ren attacked Guan Yu and stationed in Fancheng. In the month of the month of the 24th year, Ren slaughtered Wan and killed Yin. In July of the autumn, he sent to ban to help Cao Ren attack Guan Yu. "
"Three Kingdoms·Volume 17·Biography of Zhang Leyu Zhang Xu": "In the 24th year of Jian'an, Taizu was in Chang'an , and sent Cao Ren to attack Guan Yu and Fan, and sent bans to assist Ren."
"Three Kingdoms·Volume 18·2 Li Zangwen, Lu Xu Dian, two Pang Yan Biography" : "Hou Yin, Wei Kai and others rebelled, and the German general led the attack on Ba Wan with Cao Ren, and killed Yin and Kai, and then stationed Fan in the south to attack Guan Yu."
Who took the battle first in Xiangfan is not important. What is important is that Guan Yu does not seem to want to fight this battle. Before going to the battle, he said to his son Guan Ping : "I am declining this year, but it is not You have to return it! "
Guan Yu sighed so much, which is enough to prove that he has no confidence in the battle of Xiangfan , and he is even ready to go but never return. He said that he is not lucky, and it is very likely that he thinks that the time to launch an attack is wrong - Guan Yu also has friends in Cao's camp. Sun Quan wanted to stab the knife in the back, and he had already noticed it and took necessary precautions. The precautionary measure was to build many beacon towers.
It is said that the reason why Guan Yu sighed about the unfavorable years was because he dreamed that he was bitten by a pig.
The ancients also knew that men did not dream of pregnant women did not dream of beards, and they thought about something on the day and night. He dreamed of an animal with a long mouth and big ears biting him. We couldn't help but think of Liu Bei's appearance: "Lu Zhuo Gong" who can take care of himself!
Why did Guan Yu dream of a big-eared animal biting him, or whether he really had such a dream, it was difficult to distinguish between true and false, but he predicted that he would go but not return, but many historical materials recorded it - this is the first thing we said: Why did Guan Yu feel like the wind is shaking, xiaowing and Yishuihan?
Guan Yu set out in this way with a tragic mood of "not returning". When he set out, he made three arrangements: First, he left some troops to prevent the sneak attack of the Eastern Wu. The person in charge should be Pan Jun, a member of the Jingzhou Zhizhong appointed by Liu Bei, and the Dianzhou affairs; second, he ordered Mi Fang and "care (guarding)" the families of soldiers who went on the expedition. Because the local Jingzhou faction had contact with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, many generals had accepted Cao Cao's appointment ( Huang Zhong also said to be appointed by Cao Cao as a fake general), and had to be guarded; third, let Liu Feng , who were stationed in Shangyong, Meng Da, who was stationed in the three counties of Shangyong, mobilized some troops to fight Fancheng with him. The battle in Fancheng should be quickly decided, and the more troops of his own side, the better.
At this time, the second thing recorded in historical materials happened: the royal relatives did not listen to the greetings at all.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" says that Guan Yu was defeated and asked Liu Feng and Mengda for help. The fact is that Guan Yu had already ordered them to participate in the tough battle: "Since Guan Yu surrounded Fancheng, Xiangyang , he called Feng and Da, and ordered troops to help themselves. Feng and Da resigned to the first affiliation of Shan County, but it was not shaken and he would not bear the life of Yu."
If Guan Yu flooded the seven armies captured Yu Jin and killed Pang De, he fought fiercely for several months, and it seemed that he had reached the end of his strength, so he saw that Fancheng was about to be taken down, but he was unable to attack again, and even a shortage of food and grass appeared.
Fancheng is like a ripe peach. It can be picked with just a little effort. However, Mi Fang's grain supply is not timely and the quantity is insufficient, and Liu Feng and Meng Da are not delayed. However, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao traveled day and night to Fancheng. Guan Yu was anxious but helpless. At this time, Hanshouting Hou must have made the worst plan: take down Fancheng, I go in and hold on, but I can't take down Fancheng, so I buried it here!
has neither support nor food nor food. Guan Yu, who besieged Fancheng, was surrounded by Xu Huang. What happened next was very interesting and sad: Guan Yu could withdraw from Jingzhou without evacuation, and directly rejected Cao Cao and Xu Huang's "good intention".
Cao Cao's strategic goal is to let Guan Yu untie the siege of Fancheng and attack Sun Quan back and forth: "Cao Gong wants Yu and Quan to fight him, and pass on the post to send a letter of power, so that Cao Ren can shoot Yu with a crossbow."
Guan Yu withdraws his troops at this time. Xu Huang, who has received Cao Cao's "slow attack" order, will definitely go out of the net, but Guan Yu hesitates: Go back? Where to go back? Go back to , Nanjun , and let Brother Mi see me laugh at me?
Guan Yu insisted on not withdrawing his troops, but his army was separated and he no longer had the strength to launch a final blow to Fancheng. So we saw this war that determined the direction of the history of the Three Kingdoms, ended with Guan Yu's defeat - the "bird" in ancient texts, which sometimes also means killing. Whether Guan Yu died in a chaotic army or committed suicide when the army was defeated and was defeated, the records of different historical materials vary. Pei Songzhi did not believe that Guan Yu was tied to Sun Quan: "Minist Songzhi wrote Wu Book: Sun Quan sent generals Pan Zhang walked against Duanyu, and Yu was about to be killed. He went to Jiangling two or three hundred miles in Ju. How could he kill Yu from time to time? "
In the eyes of half a pot of old wine, Guan Yu had already determined to die before going to Xiangfan, so many civil officials in Jingzhou fled to Chengdu, and ten thousand enemies Guan Yu and his powerful son Guan Ping did not break through the siege. This can only show one thing: from the attitude of Mi Fang and Liu Feng, the relatives of Wang, Guan Yu, had already felt a serious crisis. The Battle of Xiangfan was his last battle. Regardless of the victory, he could not live to Xichuan to report victory.
Of course, the conclusion analyzed by half a pot of old wine from these three things recorded in historical materials cannot be the final conclusion. There are many questions and I would like to ask readers: Since Guan Yu knew that this trip was going but not returning, why did he still march towards Xiangfan? Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were both outstanding people in the world. How could they not realize Sun Quan's covetous intention for Jingzhou? If Liu Bei gives Guan Yu the necessary support and let Guan Yu have the strength to win Fancheng, which was almost flooded by the flood, what can he do if Zhang Liao and Xu Huang arrive together?
