Guan Yu's words ruined Liu Bei's great cause of unifying the whole country.

Guan Yu's words ruined Liu Bei's great cause of reunifying the whole country. As we all know, during the Three Kingdoms period, the most famous hero was Guan Yunchang. Since Liu Bei started his army, Guan Yu has been loyal and won the trust of Liu Bei, the master of Shu. Later, after Liu Bei entered Shu, Guan Yu also defended Jingzhou. During this period, he took the opportunity to explore Cao Wei in the north, surrounded Xiangfan, escaped from the Forbidden City, beheaded Pound, threatened China, and drove Cao Cao to almost move his capital elsewhere. Guan Yu's many achievements were also praised by later generations, and he was gradually deified by people after his death, and he was honored as "Guan Gong".

Guan Yu, as a great star, has become a myth from human beings and enjoys the highest praise. In the Qing Dynasty, Guan Yu was honored as "loyal and righteous SHEN WOO, Guan Sheng the Great" and was honored as "warrior sage", enjoying the Spring and Autumn Festival as Confucius "Wensheng". However, such a hero that everyone admires is very aloof. He once said that he not only killed himself, but also ruined Liu Bei's great cause of unifying the whole country! According to historical records, Guan Yu fled his hometown for crimes in his early years and came to Zhuo Jun in Youzhou. During this period, he met Liu Bei, who was engaged in making up seats and selling shoes. Later, he became brothers with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. The three brothers are so close that they even sleep together. After the Yellow turban insurrectionary uprising broke out, Liu Bei, a descendant of the Han Dynasty, made many contributions in suppressing the uprising, and was finally awarded the county magistrate of Anxi County according to his achievements. At this time, sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood beside Liu Bei to protect him.

However, it is difficult to start a business at first. Liu Bei, the master of Shu, suffered repeated failures in the scuffle among princes because of his limited strength, and successively attached himself to Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and other princes. For this reason, Guan Yu also followed his eldest brother Liu Bei around, and then based on Xuzhou guarding Xiapi City, acting as the prefect. However, the good times did not last long. In the fifth year of Jian 'an (200 years), a new generation of Central Plains overlord Cao personally conquered Xuzhou. Finally, Liu Bei was defeated and fled to Yuan Shao. Guan Yu, who lost his leadership, was captured alive and had to surrender. According to the biography of the reflection of Guan Yu, "Cao Gong's eastward expedition led Yuan Shao. Cao Gong's birds and feathers returned, and he was worshipped as a partial general. The ceremony is very thick. " Faced with the temptation of Cao Cao's high-ranking officials, Guan Yu did not agree. After making great contributions to repay Cao Cao's kindness, he left and returned to the account of his eldest brother Liu Bei.

Liu Bei, the master of Shu, always insisted on serving people with virtue. After unremitting efforts, after Battle of Red Cliffs, he finally won his own turf Jingzhou. It can be said that the geographical location of Jingzhou is very important to Liu Bei. In Longzhong Dui, Zhuge Liang, a military adviser, has clearly put forward that "there are Han Mian in the north, Tong Ba and Shu in the east". Jingzhou was occupied by Wu and Cao, and the soldiers attacked the Central Plains in two ways to unify the whole country. It is precisely because of Jingzhou's strategic position that Sun Quan and Cao Cao are eyeing it. Finally, Liu Bei, the master of Shu, worshipped Guan Yu as a former general and pretended to be in charge of Jingzhou. Jingzhou, guarded by Guan Yu at that time, actually occupied Nanjun County, Wuling County and Lingling County after the demarcation of Xiangshui River. In the 24th year of Jian 'an (2 19), Guan Yu led an army to attack Xiangyang and Fancheng occupied by Cao Wei. According to the biography of the Three Kingdoms Guan Yu, "I am old, so I led many people to attack Cao Ren and Fan. Tsao Gong was sent to the forbidden help benevolence. Autumn, heavy rain, the Han River flooded, and the Seventh Army was not supervised by the Forbidden City. If the feather is forbidden, it will kill General Pound. " This war was originally a contest between famous soldiers, but Guan Yu played a "sublime China" momentum, forcing Cao Cao to move the capital to avoid its sharpness! The battle of Xiangfan put Xudu in jeopardy. Cao Cao ordered the army to rescue him, but he was defeated one after another.

Faced with such a situation, Cao Cao suggested staying away from Xudu to avoid the threat of Guan Yu. Moving the capital has been a national event since ancient times, so it was opposed by a group of counselors. Among them, Sima Yi, the counselor, publicly expressed his opposition to moving the capital. He boldly proposed to unite with Wu to stop Guan Yu's attack. According to historical records: "Sima Wang Xuan and Jiang Ji thought Guan Yu would succeed, but Sun Quan would not. You can send someone to persuade the right army to secretly follow behind, or you can cut off Jiangnan to seal the right army, and then Fan Wei will solve it himself. " Since then, the alliance between Shu Han and Wu Dong, which has been maintained for more than ten years, has been broken. Guan Yu was later attacked by Wu Dong general Lv Meng and defeated all the way. In the end, he lost his life, and Sun Quan took advantage of the fisherman to gain Jingzhou territory. Then why did Guan Yu lose? Sun Quan and Liu Bei are allies. Why did Lv Meng seize Jingzhou? In fact, all this is related to a sentence Guan Yu said. Since Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, his power has developed rapidly. In Sun Quan's view, although Cao Cao is the biggest enemy, Liu Bei is also a potential enemy. Because of Cao Cao's strength, Sun He joined forces against Cao Cao. But the opponent is the opponent after all, and even the best alliance will break down. Guan Yu's wild words in the middle became the fuse! It turns out that before the battle of Xiangfan, Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, sent Zhuge Liang's younger brother Zhu Gejin as a matchmaker and married Guan Yu's daughter. Who knows, Guan Yu doesn't like this marriage very much. He cursed Sun Quan in front of Zhu Gejin and said, "How can a tiger girl marry a son!"

The refusal to get married angered Sun Quan. Zhuge Liang knew very early that Guan Yu had been defeated. When Guan Yu besieged Fancheng, after the news reached Chengdu, Zhuge Liang had calculated that Jingzhou was going to fall, so he rushed to deliver the news. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the territory of Jingzhou fell. The loss of Jingzhou, especially the northernmost county in Jingzhou, fell into the hands of Sun Quan, which made Liu Bei's great cause of recovering the great man suffer great setbacks.

You know, Zhuge Liang's plan for Liu Bei is to occupy Jingzhou Yizhou, attack Chang 'an on the western front and Luoyang on the eastern front, so that Cao Wei can't take care of each other from beginning to end. This broke a link in Longzhong, and Liu Bei prepared for two years. He didn't want to be defeated by Yiling, and Liu Bei's inheritance suffered even greater setbacks, so he had to entrust Baidicheng to Zhuge Liang. It can be said that Guan Yu's words not only ruined Liu Bei's great cause of reunifying the whole country, but also greatly weakened Shu. Because of the loss of Jingzhou, the Shuhan regime lost the possibility of marching from Jingzhou to the Central Plains. Every time Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition crossed the vast Qinling Mountains, it was inconvenient to transport grain. Because of the inconvenience, the first four and five northern expeditions ended without results.

Finally, Chen Shou, a historian in the Western Jin Dynasty, gave a pertinent evaluation in the History of the Three Kingdoms: "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both known as enemies of ten thousand people, and they are both world tiger ministers. However, Yu is just complacent, flying fiercely without grace, taking defeat by short, and the math is normal. " In other words, although Guan Yu made great contributions to the establishment of Shu Han, it is reasonable that he eventually failed because of his strength and pride and ruined his life.
