At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a heroic military general emerged, and his life experience, martial deeds, and ultimately tragic fate constituted a legendary picture. This hero is Guan Yu, his life has been full of ups and downs, and he has achieved a heroic legend admired by the world.
Guan Yu was born in a peasant family influenced by feudal culture, his original name was Changsheng, and later changed to Yu, and the word cloud is long. When he was a teenager, he not only practiced martial arts Xi at home, but also took care of farming in the fields. Because of "Zuo Biography", he is handsome and is known as the "beautiful bearded man". Guan Yu witnessed the injustice in his hometown, and was filled with righteous indignation, so he resolutely left home and fled to Zhuo County. Just as Liu Bei was recruiting, Guan Yu met him and joined Liu Bei's command. Under the leadership of Liu Bei, Guan Yu showed outstanding military talent, once broke through Cao's army, became the head of Liu Bei's "Five Tiger Generals", and was named "Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion".
However, in the fourth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao personally sent troops to recruit Liu Bei, Liu Bei defeated Yuan Shao, and Guan Yu was trapped in Xiapi. Cao Cao appreciated Guan Yu's bravery very much, appointed him as a partial general, and gave him generous courtesy. However, Guan Yu was concerned about Liu Bei and was unwavering. Cao Cao sent Guan Yu's friend Zhang Liao to test him, and Guan Yu confessed his loyalty and said that he would never turn his back on Liu Bei. After the Battle of Chibi, Guan Yu bravely slashed his generals and made great achievements, but he was not moved by utilitarianism, and after thanking Cao Cao, he went to Yuan Shao alone to find Liu Bei.
Guan Yu played a pivotal role in Liu Bei's group. He became the Taishou of Jingxiang and repeatedly established outstanding military exploits in the Northern Expedition. However, the wheel of fortune turned on Guan Yu's body, and he was blocked in the Northern Expedition and captured by Yu Ban. Cao Cao was horrified by Guan Yu's prestige and praised it, but Guan Yu was unmoved by Cao Cao's generous courtesy. Cao Cao saw that Guan Yu cared about Liu Bei, so he asked him to find Liu Bei and released him from captivity.
However, Guan Yu's position as Jing Xiang Taishou aroused the alarm of Sun Quan of Eastern Wu. Despite Sun Quan's superficial overtures, Guan Yu despised Soochow and rejected the proposal for marriage. Later, Guan Yu captured Cao Bing during the Northern Expedition, and in the face of a shortage of grain and grass, he took grain from Sun Quan's territory without diplomatic consultation. This behavior not only exacerbated the conflict between Sun and Liu, but also provided Sun Quan with an excuse to send troops. Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to cross the river to attack Jingzhou, and Guan Yu was in a desperate situation on all sides. At this critical moment, Liu Bei's assistance did not arrive, and Guan Yu had to retreat from Maicheng and retreat in the direction of Shangyong. But at this time, Liu Feng, Meng Da and others sat back and couldn't help due to internal disputes, which made Guan Yu fall into the predicament of being isolated and helpless.
In the breakout, Guan Yu was captured by Wu's general Pan Zhang, and Sun Quan, in revenge for his dissatisfaction with Guan Yu, personally beheaded him and gave it to Cao Cao.
Guan Yu's life is like a tragic symphony, and his loyalty, martial bravery, and tragic ending have left an eternal mark on future generations. His contribution to Liu Bei's group is indelible, but fate has pushed him to endless loneliness. His loyalty, moving, and his martial courage are engraved in the annals of history. Guan Yu, as a bright star in the long river of history, has become a hero worshiped by future generations with his unswerving loyalty.
