In July of the same year, Guan Yu left Cao Cao again to follow Liu Bei after learning the news of Liu Bei. Guan Yu participated in many famous battles in the early days of the Three Kingdoms.

However, in 2 15, the relationship between Shu Han and Wu deteriorated due to the dispute over border sites, and the alliance between the two countries broke down. In 2 19, Liu Bei called the king of Hanzhong and named Guan Yu a former general.
