Guan Yu is a general of Shu Han, but he is proud of himself. In today's words, he is complacent and arrogant, with many shortcomings and mistakes. Ma Chao defected to Liu Bei, and the power of Shu Han was greatly enhanced. Dongchuan and Xichuan belonged to Liu Bei, and Ma was also named as one of the "Five Tiger Generals". Guan Yu angrily wrote a letter asking Zhuge Liang, "Who can compare with haunters?" How clever Zhuge Liang was, he quickly wrote back to appease Guan Yu: "Ma Chao is brave and good at fighting, which is roughly equivalent to Zhang Fei." Compared with Guan Yu, a peerless master, he is "especially inferior". Guan Yu's "exultation" made him read the letter and gave up the idea of competing with Ma Chao. Guan Yu, who only knows how to be brave, is too lacking in political mind on major issues. When Sun Quan sent envoys to ask for relatives for his son, Guan Yu "humiliated the envoys" and cursed: "How can a tiger girl match a dog?"
Common modern sculptures and the author's Chinese paintings include the statue of Guan Yu sitting, reading the Spring and Autumn Period by candlelight at night. In the painting, Guan Yu's face is radiant, his silkworm eyebrows are on his temples, his phoenix eyes are half closed, his robe is wrapped in armor, his left hand holds the scroll in front, and his right hand caresses his beard behind, which makes him look elegant and majestic. At this point in reading history, it is doubtful whether Guan Yu's reading Spring and Autumn Annals at night is a show. The ancient Spring and Autumn Annals was written by Confucius and has always been synonymous with history books. Since Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, he has adopted the policy of "pro-marriage" towards the northern Xiongnu. Li Guang, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing ... For decades, he lost hundreds of thousands of troops and only tied with Xiongnu. In the dynasties of Emperor Zhao and Yuan Di, they embarked on the line of "affinity" again, making "Zhaojun going out to the fortress" become the eternal swan song of the Chinese nation's harmonious coexistence. Guan Yu is in an era of tripartite confrontation. Compared with the three countries, Shu was the weakest country, but Cao Cao of the Northern Wei Dynasty, whose strength was several times stronger than Shu, made great efforts to welcome the daughter of Cai Yi, a famous person in the Eastern Han Dynasty, back from Xiongnu, so that the eighteen beats of Hu Jia were integrated into the Han culture at that time and became a beautiful historical story. Looking back, why can't Guan Yu learn from the ancestor's policy of "closeness" and Cao Cao's story of "Yue's family returning to Han"? Besides, Sun Quan, a blue-eyed son, lives in Jiangdong and commands six counties and eighty-one states, which is far stronger than the Xiongnu civilization in the north. Cao Cao, the representative of the northern forces, once lamented: "Children should be like Sun Zhongmou!" It can be seen that Sun Quan is not a "dog" scolded by Guan Yu, nor is his son a "dog". Destroying the alliance between Sun and Liu is the biggest mistake Guan Yu made in his life.
Guan Yu's "loyalty" is reflected in being loyal to his old master and not loving high officials and high officials. In the 26th episode of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu declined politely. Cao Cao said, "You have accepted everything you want ... Although the new favor is thick, the old one will not be forgotten. Yu En has not reported it, and is willing to wait another day. " Before leaving Wei, the gold and silver received many times were sealed in cages, hung in Hanshou Pavilion and printed in the hall. Guan Yu's "righteousness" focused on disobeying military orders and releasing the enemy leader Cao Cao and his soldiers on one side of the battle without permission. On Yun Changyi's explanation of Cao Cao in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the 50th time: "Yun Changyi is a righteous man. How can he not be tempted when he thinks of Cao Cao's many kindness that day and later?" Seeing you panic again, everyone wants to cry without tears, and one by one can't bear it. So he pulled the horse's head back and said to all the soldiers, "Spread out." "So Sun and Liu formed an alliance, and the result of a bloody battle in Chibi was that Guan Yu's horse head was brought back, and the sergeant" dispersed ",and Cao Cao rushed over with the people, greatly shrinking. Where is Guan Yu's "letter"? Do things aboveboard, keep your word, and don't be dishonest villains. Even when Cao Jun was besieged by Tu Shan and his life and death were uncertain, he had to make an agreement with Cao Cao in three chapters: first, not to surrender to Cao Cao; The second is to support Liu Bei's family with his uncle's salary; Thirdly, when I learned where Liu Bei was going, I could easily find him thousands of miles away. Show that faith will not change because of dangerous and evil situations. Guan Yu's brave performance is particularly outstanding: "riding a thousand miles alone" and "going to the meeting with one knife" all highlight the word "single", which is the concrete embodiment of the word "brave" For example, when General and Gan Ning led their troops to leave, they "saw Yun Chang carrying a broadsword and personally holding Lu Su", while "Lu Su was out of her wits and was dragged to the river by Yun Chang". It should be noted that this is Lukou, a military town surrounded by Dongwu heavy armor, and Guan Yu's bravery is only based on an 8 1 kg Qinglong crescent moon blade.
Guan Yu's blind underestimation and political naivety led to the rupture of the Sun-Liu Alliance. After Monroe crossed the river in white to capture Jingzhou, Guan Yu and his son defeated Maicheng, and were beheaded in Zhangxiang, Dangyang, Hubei Province because they did not surrender to Sun Wu. After his death, his head was given to Cao Wei by Soochow, and his head was buried in Luoyang, Henan, and his body was buried in Dangyang, Hubei. Today, there is a Guanling in each place. Folks say that "the head is in Luoyang, the body is in the hot sun, and the soul is in Shanxi." A generation of celebrities from humble origins came to an end tragically because of many inherent and insurmountable problems.
