"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" may be the most familiar book among the four major classical literary masterpieces in China.

The story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be said to be well-known, well-known to women and children, and Luo Guanzhong used his wonderful pen to make this history wonderful and fascinating.

This book began with the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the world was messed up, and all forces appeared one after another, staging a great battle between the heroes and the deer, and gradually formed a three-legged situation of Wei, Shu and Wu, and finally Wei annihilated Shu and Wu until the establishment of the Jin Dynasty to dominate the world. Whether you are familiar with Chinese history or not, there are many stories in the Three Kingdoms that you will not avoid in your life, including geography, history, military warfare, political struggle, philosophy, strategy, wisdom, culture and many other aspects. Only by reading it many times can you understand this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and learn a lot of things you need in this life.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu, a martial saint who is loyal and filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, is a hero that many people like and admire. But in the end, he was defeated and killed, and his body was in a different place, becoming a hero with a tragic ending. Guan Yu's death has become a key point in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Then do you know what the real cause of Guan Yu's death is?

After careful analysis and research, in fact, the real cause of Guan Yu's death was a bureau made by Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Guan Yu's life is bright and upright, loyal and upright, he takes Kuangfu Han as his original intention, the tall and mighty Guan Yu, red-faced, beautiful beard, the green dragon glaive knife in his hand, sits down with a red rabbit and a thousand miles, both civil and military, he is really a majestic hero. Prime Minister Cao Cao made him the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion in order to buy Guan Yu, and Guan Yu gladly accepted it, because this was the official title given to him by the Han court. When Liu Bei was proclaimed king in Hanzhong, he sent him to garrison Jingzhou and named him the head of the Five Tiger Generals, and he felt very uncomfortable. This also became the fuse for Liu Bei to get rid of him.

With Cao Cao in the north and Sun Quan in the south, isolated and helpless, Liu Bei let Guan Yu attack Xiangfan. Guan Yu had no choice but to fight, and at the beginning, he was like a bamboo, and Cao Cao was once scared that he wanted to move the capital. Cao Cao secretly united with Sun Quan, who had a suspicion of Guan Yu, and arranged for Lü Meng to cross the river in white clothes and take the opportunity to seize Jingzhou, cutting off all of Guan Yu's back roads, and the panicked Guan Yu had to retreat to Maicheng. Liao Hua risked his life to go to Shangyong to move troops for help, Shangyong guarded Liu Bei's godson Liu Feng actually refused to rescue, if there was no Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang's instructions, how could Liu Feng dare not rescue Guan Yu?In this way, under the attack of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, in the case of Liu Bei not sending rescue troops, Guan Yu was powerless to return to the sky even if he had three heads and six arms, he was ambushed by Ma Zhong, a young general of Wu State, and was captured alive, and was finally killed by Sun Quan, and he achieved his ideal with death. And Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Quan also got rid of the big troubles in their hearts, and Guan Yu's death can be called a great joy.

Soon after Guan Yu's death, Cao Cao also died, so Cao Pi, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan successively proclaimed themselves emperors, officially forming a situation of the Three Kingdoms. After Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei killed Liu Feng to make a show to the outside world, and Liu Feng was a scapegoat. Two years later, Liu Bei remembered to send troops to attack Wu, nominally to avenge his second brother Guan Yu, but in fact he just wanted to expand his sphere of influence.

Therefore, during the Three Kingdoms, only Guan Yu was named a martial saint by the people after his death, and for thousands of years he was molded into a golden body and enshrined in the temples of Emperor Guan in various places, enjoying a steady stream of incense and people's worship.

What do you think is the real cause of Guan Yu's death?
