Is it true that Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army? A new explanation of the flood history of the seventh army

In fact, Guan Yu is not only a simple general, but also second to none in Shu Han, even stronger than Zhuge Liang. Because Guan Yu is more experienced than Zhuge Liang and can quickly formulate strategies in small battles, Zhuge Liang always hesitates when making decisions. Guan Yu was also very happy after Liu Bei captured the Hanzhong elevator. He wanted to lead the troops to attack Fancheng and make great contributions to Liu Bei. Guan Yu's attack was sweeping, which drowned the Seventh Army, killed Pound and made China a great country. Guan Yu was 60 years old at that time, still so brave and invincible. It can be seen why Cao Cao and Sun Quan are so afraid of him. But we still have to question the plot in the romance. Is it true that Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army? Actually, there are many details hidden in this historical story. This time, I will introduce you to the real face of the Seventh Army when it was flooded.

After Liu Bei won Hanzhong, Guan Yu was promoted to a former general and was regarded as the highest-ranking general in Shu Han. Guan Yu did not take part in the battle of Hanzhong, because he wanted to defend Jingzhou, which was very important, but Jingzhou was equally important to Shu Han, and Guan Yu was under great pressure. In fact, Guan Yu will attack Fancheng in two ways. One is that Guan Yu learned that Liu Bei had won the battle, so he wanted to entertain Liu Bei. In fact, this statement is far-fetched. Fancheng is also Cao Cao's territory. Guan Yu is not afraid of Jingzhou being attacked or lost when he leaves Jingzhou. Therefore, the latter reason is more convincing, that is, Guan Yu wants to prove his strength and be the first military commander under Liu Bei.

In fact, the actual rights of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong were similar before, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei for a longer time and became sworn brothers. But Liu Bei put Huang Zhong and Guan Yu together, which also made Guan Yu feel unbalanced. Therefore, Guan Yu continued to prove his strength in this situation and wanted to distance himself from others, so Guan Yu decided to launch the Xiangfan War. At that time, Guan Yu directly led the troops to attack Fancheng, and Cao Cao dispatched troops in time to let Yu Ban lead the seventh army to resist Guan Yu and save Fancheng. But after several confrontations, Du Kuaile's camp gave Guan Yu the upper hand, and Pound and Yujin had no choice but to win Guan Yu. Pound, a famous player in the Three Kingdoms, once followed Marten. His strength is not under Ma Chao, so the Shu army was quite afraid of Pound at first.

However, in August, it happened to be the rainy season in Xiangfan, and the continuous heavy rain made the sweat soar. Yu Jin was originally in a low position and was in the city, so the Seventh Army was sweating and suffered heavy losses. Yu Jin and Pound were forced to flee to the highlands, while Guan Yu had already stood in the way waiting for the bait. As a result, Yu Jin and Pound knew there was no way out and decided to fight Guan Yu. The next day, Yujin was exhausted and many soldiers surrendered. Pound refused to surrender, and was finally captured by Guan Yu and killed for refusing to surrender.

Guan Yu's seventh army was flooded, which is indeed recorded in the official history, but it is certainly not because Guan Yu knows the weather and knows that it will rain for several days. It can only be said that Guan Yu was lucky to occupy the right position at the right time, winning more with less, and finally completed the counterattack. At that time, the whole Fancheng was flooded, and Guan Yu came to the gate by boat and surrounded the whole Fancheng, which was also a very rare victory for Guan Yu. In fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, it was very difficult to attack the city if both sides were evenly matched. Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition suffered a great loss in this respect. I can only say that this time Guan Yu attacked, and God chose to stand on his side.
