During the Three Kingdoms period, the heroic generals were their own masters, and wars were frequent. In this era of heroes, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others are known for their loyalty and bravery. Among them, Guan Yu's righteousness and martial courage are even more talked about.
After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was defeated by Huarong Dao, which was a life-and-death battle for him. However, at such a critical moment, Guan Yu let Cao Cao go. Why is that?
It turned out that there was a deep friendship between Guan Yu and Cao Cao. They were comrades-in-arms and had experienced many battles together. Although Guan Yu was loyal to Liu Bei, he also respected Cao Cao's bravery and wisdom. In Huarong Dao, Guan Yu saw Cao Cao's predicament, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. He remembered the days when he fought side by side with Cao Cao in the past, and remembered Cao Cao's trust and respect for him.
At this critical moment, Guan Yu is faced with a difficult choice. He knew that if Cao Cao was killed, it would clear a huge obstacle for Liu Bei's great cause of unification. But at the same time, he understood that it would be against his own morality and conscience to do so. He cannot perfidiously kill his former comrades for personal gain.
