The person Guan Yu fears most in his life

The person Guan Yu feared most in his life was Gan Ning.

Gan Ning was a general under Sun Quan. During the war era at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gan Ning was also forced to wander. With his skill, he successfully entered Liu Biao's tent and later moved to Sun Quan's tent many times. After being under Sun Quan's tent, Zhou Yu gave Gan Ning many opportunities to perform and made many military exploits. Especially in the Battle of Hefei, he rode the savior alone and rescued Sun Quan from the battlefield. From then on, Gan Ning gained Sun Quan's trust.

Later Guan Yu and Gan Ning met on a narrow road. Others were very afraid of Guan Yu, but Gan Ning was an exception. Gan Ning relied on his hundreds of officers and soldiers to dare to compete with Guan Yu. When Guan Yu was exploring the enemy's situation, he discovered Gan Ning's troops. Although Guan Yu's troops were much higher than the opponent's at that time, Guan Yu still chose to retreat. Because Gan Ning was a brave and strategic general, Guan Yu was wary, so he withdrew his troops.
