Guan Yu died in December of the 24th year of Jian 'an (219) at the age of 6 (nominal age)
At the end of AD 219 (24th year of Jian 'an), Cao Cao thought that Emperor Xian of Han was in Xu and was close to Guan Yu's army, and wanted to move the capital to avoid its sharp edge. Sima Yi, Jiang Ji and others dissuaded him, thinking that Sun Quan was bound to be unwilling to see Guan Yu succeed, and he could be allowed to seal Jiangnan to Sun Quan as a condition. At the same time, Cao Cao sent Xu Huang, Zhao Yan and other troops to rescue Fancheng, and was more prepared to personally conquer Guan Yu.
Xu Huang, who rescued Fancheng, thought it was difficult to compete with Guan Yu because of his insufficient troops. However, Cao Cao sent Xu Shang, Lu Jian and other generals, Yin Shu, Zhu Gai and other 12 battalions to reinforce Xu Huang. Guan Yu has troops stationed at Weitou and at Sizhu. Xu Huang then threatened to attack around the head, but secretly attacked the four graves. Guan Yu saw that the four graves were in danger, so he personally led five thousand troops with footmen and cavalry. Xu Huang met him and Guan Yu retreated. Guan Yu was surrounded by ten antlers in front of the trench, and Xu Huang pursued Guan Yu. Both of them entered Guan Yu's encirclement of Fancheng, and the encirclement was broken. Both Fu Fang and Hu Xiu were killed, so Guan Yu withdrew and retreated. However, Guan Yu's ship was still holed up in Mianshui, and the road to Xiangyang was blocked.
Sun Quan ordered Lu Meng to sneak attack Jingzhou as the commander in chief, and personally led the army as backup. Mi Fang (brother-in-law of Liu Bei) and Ren, the commander of Jiangling, a major town in Jingzhou, surrendered without fighting because of their bad blood with Guan Yu.
at this time, Guan Yu immediately retreated to the south after learning that Nanjun had fallen. On the way back to the division, Guan Yu sent messengers to contact Lv Meng many times. Lv Meng treated Guan Yu's messengers well every time, allowed various tours in the city, and expressed condolences to Guan Yu's relatives. Someone personally wrote a trust for him to take away as a proof of peace. When the emissary returned, Guan Yu's subordinates asked him privately about the situation at home, knowing that the family was safe and treated more than before. Therefore, Guan Yu's soldiers had no intention of fighting again, and the foot soldiers gradually broke up and retreated to Maicheng. In December of the 24th year of Jian 'an, Guan Yu led dozens of riders to flee, and broke all the way to lin ju (now Nanzhang County, Xiangfan City, Hubei Province), which was only ten or twenty miles away from Yizhou. When Pan Zhang ambushed Ma Zhong, he was captured and his eldest son Guan Ping was killed in lin ju.
Sun Quan gave Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao, who buried him in Luoyang as a vassal, while Sun Quan buried Guan Yu's body in Dangyang as a vassal, that is, Guanling, also known as Dangyang King's Tomb. Shu Han built a cenotaph for Guan Yu in Chengdu, that is, the tomb of Guan Yu in Chengdu, in order to summon souls for sacrifice. Therefore, the folks also call Guan Yu "the head rests in Luoyang, the body lies in the sun, and the soul returns to his hometown (or' the soul returns to Shanxi').
in September of 26 ad (the third year of Jing Yao), Liu Chan, the late ruler of Shu Han dynasty, called Guan Yu a "strong and miaohou" when he was courting several important ministers.
how did Guan Yu die in real history?
In October 218, Nanyang people rebelled against exploitation, and Wan Shoujiang Hou Yin took the opportunity to rebel and wrote to Guan Yu for help. Guan Yu was slow to reflect, and Hou Yin was captured and killed by Coss.
In July 219, Guan Yu was inspired by Liu Bei's victory in Hanzhong and went north to take Xiangfan. Cao Cao took Yu Ban as the general, supervised 7 armies to save Coss, and at the same time ordered Xu Huang to lead an army into Wancheng. In August, flash floods broke out and flooded the 7 th Army, such as the Forbidden City. Guan Yu took the opportunity to attack, but Pound was not killed and surrendered to the Forbidden City. Coss Shen Baima sticks to Fancheng. Guan Yu attacked Xiangyang with a partial general, personally attacked Fancheng, and set up a position in the north of Fancheng to prevent the northern Cao army from reinforcements; At the same time, people were sent to rebel against nearby counties and counties, Jingzhou stabbed Hu Xiu and Nanxiang satrap Fu Fang to surrender, and some officials south of Xuchang also secretly assisted Guan Yu; Lu Hun, Sun Wolf, gathered to riot, responding to Guan Yu and Yecheng Wei's satirical attempt to launch a coup. The so-called "Weizhen Huaxia".
Cao Cao listened to the opinions of Sima Yi, Jiang Ji and others, and made an alliance with Sun Quan. At the same time, he ordered Xu Huang to lead an army to save Cao Ren, and named Zhang Liao to help Cao Ren as soon as possible. Sun Quan deliberately sent Lu Xun to Lv Meng, Guan Yu was careless, so he took away some defenders in Jingzhou; In October, Sun Quan made Lv Meng the prefect, led an army to attack Jiangling, followed by Sun Jiao, and sent another right guard, Jiang Qin, to supervise the water army into Mianshui (Hanshui) to prevent Guan Yu from going down the river. Lu Meng went to Xunyang (now southwest of Huangmei, Hubei Province), disguised warships as merchant ships, and soldiers disguised themselves as businessmen, traveling day and night.
To the public security, Fu Shiren, the commander of Shu, was forced to surrender, and Mi Fang, the commander of Jiangling, was persuaded by Fu Shiren. He was kind to Guan Yu's family and released the Wei Jun soldiers captured by Guan Yu to comfort the people. At the same time, Lu Xun entered Yiling (now Yichang) and defended Liu Bei in the west. Xu Huang to the front, get in touch with Coss, Coss morale; In order to alienate Sun Liu and profit from it, the Ministry was ordered to shoot Sun Quan's letter into Guan Yu's camp. After Guan Yu saw it, he hesitated. Xu Huang, a distant army, took the opportunity to attack Guan Yu's stronghold on a large scale, greatly breaking Guan Yu and getting through the Fancheng route. At that time, when the flood receded, Coss led the army to cooperate with Xu Huang to attack Guan Yu, and Wen Pin cut Guan Yu's route for providing foodstuff by water, and Guan Yu was losing ground. Knowing that Jingzhou had been lost, Guan Yu quickly withdrew from the army. When the soldiers learned that their families had been treated well, their morale dropped sharply. Guan Yu was defeated in Maicheng.
An alternative view of Guan Yu's death
It is difficult for people to accept that Guan Yu was killed by Liu Bei's "fake hand in Wu people", but it may be reasonable.
before Guan Yu died, he had become the "most unfavorable stability and unity" in the Shu-Han camp.
Guan Yu refused to take Jingzhou as an important place, and did not implement the strategy of "uniting Sun Wu in the east and rejecting Cao Wei in the north" formulated by military adviser Kong Ming in Longzhong Dui, and had frequent frictions with Sun Wu. Liu Bei and Kong Ming all know that only when Dongwu is well settled can there be a hegemony in Western Shu. If you don't implement this strategy, why does Master Liu Bei talk about hegemony?
It's a small matter to offend Kongming. If you repeatedly collide with your master, Guan Yu will be in a bad situation.
among the three kingdoms, Liu Bei has the fewest soldiers, and Liu Bei knows this, so he has to get rid of a thirst for talent.
Liu Bei worshipped Ma Chao as the left general, but Guan Yu was dissatisfied. He worshiped Huang Zhong as a post-general, worried about Guan Guan's opinions, and sent a special person to inform Guan Guan. He also worshipped Guan Yu as a former general. The master was so careful, but Guan Yu still cursed: "Men of courage will never be listed with veterans (Huang Zhong)." Who listed Huang and Guan Guan Guan? Liu Bei. Guan nu scold Huang, also scold the master Liu Bei.
It's easier to understand by reading the history book The History of the Three Kingdoms, which is more authentic than the novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Liu Bei is also on guard against Guan Yu's ambition to be arrogant and easy-going. Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou. In order to keep an eye on Guan Yu, he also sent his wife and brother Mi Fang as the prefect of Nanjun, and sent fellow villager Shiren as the general to station in the public security. When Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, they immediately went to Sun Quan. They were brothers-in-law, fellow villagers who were afraid of dereliction of duty and would become scapegoats for Jingzhou's loss.
In the biography of the Three Kingdoms Liao Lichuan, it is said that "the feather's parents rely on their fame, but they can't serve as an army, and (Liu Bei) always speaks with his intention", and "Guan Hou died without a legacy". Imagine: Guan Yu was so arrogant when Liu Bei was here. If Liu Bei died, wouldn't it be a disaster for Shu Han to be so arrogant? Besides, Dou, the late ruler, is a thing that can't be helped.
The History of the Three Kingdoms also says, "Guan Yu and Bei Yi are the monarch and minister, and the father and son are gracious." Righteousness must be the righteousness in the rules of monarch and minister.
in those days, Guan Yu fled to Liu Bei in Zhuojun from Xiexian, Hedong, his hometown, where he was killed and "desperate".
Liu Bei hid Guan Yu in the army, which was the case with "Eugenie and Son".
Guan Yu's tragedy lies in that Liu Bei is only designated as a righteous brother, and the gifts of the monarch, the minister and the father are completely ignored. And Liu Bei is a generation of lean, with the same surname, Liu Biao is rebellious, and the land of Liu Zhang's profit can be taken away. You Guan Yu, a half-brother, can't get into trouble if you don't speak the courtesy of the monarch and the minister and offend Tian Yan?
Guan Yu and lin ju were defeated, and Jingzhou was lost. Kongming didn't help him with a single pawn. Perhaps Kongming knew his master's thoughts long ago, but he just didn't want to make it clear.
and Pang Tong has long advised Liu Bei that if he got the west ...
how did Zhang Fei and Guan Yu die?
Guan Yu's death:
In August of the 24th year of Jian 'an, the Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty (219), Guan Yu, a former general of Shu, flooded the Seventh Army of Wei, and captured General Zuo, the commander in chief, alive, and besieged Cao Ren, a general of Wei Zhengnan who defeated Fancheng (now Xiangfan, Hubei Province), which was a great shock to China. Wang Wei Cao Cao adopted the advice of Prime Ministers Sima Yi and Cao Xun Jiang Ji, and took advantage of Liu Bei's refusal to return the borrowed Jingzhou. As a result, the alliance between Wu and Shu broke down, and he sent someone to persuade Sun Quan of Soochow to copy the rear of Guan Yu, and promised to seal the south of the Yangtze River to Sun Quan. Lu Meng, a general of Dongwu who was stationed in Lukou (now northwest of Pu Yin, Hubei Province), thought that Guan Yu's ambition to annex Jiangnan was a great threat to Dongwu, and suggested that Sun Quan take the opportunity to destroy Guan Yu in order to relieve future troubles. Sun Quan adopted his plan. In order to conceal the attempt, Lu Xun, a captain of Dingwei, with shallow seniority, was appointed to replace Lv Meng, who claimed to be ill. Lu Xun deliberately flattered Guan Yu with humble words, making him arrogant and negligent. He constantly deployed troops to attack Fancheng in the north, leaving only a few troops to stay in Jiangling. In November of that year, Sun Quan appointed Lv Meng as the viceroy, led the army to go out before hiding, and went to Xunyang (now the northeast of Guangji, Hubei Province). He ambushed the elite soldiers in disguised merchant ships, dressed the soldiers in white, disguised themselves as businessmen, raised the people to paddle, traveled day and night, sailed back to the river, and attacked Jiangling. Everything was very hidden and secretive. The soldiers of the Shu army stationed in Jiangfang were deceived by the disguised Wu army and caught off guard. All of them were captured, and the city of Jiangling was empty and in chaos. Lv Meng first asked Yu Fan, the former riding captain, to write a letter to lure Fu Shiren, the Shu general stationed in the public security (now Hubei Gongan North), and then made Fu Shiren lead Wu Jun to land and defend Mi Fang, the satrap of Shunan County in Jiangling. Mi Fang rushed out of the city, and Lv Meng led an army into Jiangling, thus regaining Jingzhou, which Shu had occupied for a long time. Guan Yu, who was proud and despised his enemy, was unaware of Lu Meng's attack. When Guan Yu was shocked to learn that Jiangling was lost and hurried back from Fancheng, Sun Quan had arrived in Jiangling first and sent Lu Xun to capture Yiling (now Yichang, Hubei) and Zigui (now Zigui, Hubei), cutting off Guan Yu's retreat into Sichuan. Guan Yu asked Liu Feng and Meng Da, the Shu generals stationed in Shangyong, for help, but they were rejected. Guan Yu was caught in a dilemma and was caught between Scylla and Charybdis, so he went west to Maicheng (now southeast of Dangyang, Hubei). In December of that year, Guan Yu led a small number of cavalry to escape from Maicheng, and was captured and beheaded by Ma Zhong, the general of Pan Zhang Department of Wu.
Zhang Fei's death:
Zhang Fei has a violent temper. When I was guarding in Langzhong, I heard that Guan Gong was killed, and I cried on New Year's Day, and my clothes were covered with blood. Your generals persuaded you with wine, and Zhang Fei was even angrier when he was drunk. Under the account, soldiers flogged them whenever they were at fault, so that many of them were flogged to death. When Liu Bei knew about it, he advised him that you would be in trouble sooner or later if you flogged the soldiers and let them follow you. Soldiers should be treated with tolerance. One day, Zhang Fei ordered the army to make white flags and white armor within three days, and the three armed forces hanged filial piety to cut Wu. The next day, the two members of the account told Zhang Fei at the end of the account: "White flag and white armor, there is nothing to be done at the moment, you have to give some time." Zhang Fei was furious and shouted, "I'm anxious for revenge. I can't wait to go to the rebel territory tomorrow. How dare you disobey my orders as a general!" Let the samurai tie them to a tree and whip them fifty times on their backs. After the fight, he pointed his finger at the two men and said, "It must be all ready tomorrow! If the deadline is violated, I will kill both of you for public display! " Beat two people full of blood. The two returned to the camp to discuss. Fan Jiang said: "How can we prepare for today's criminal responsibility? This human nature is like fire. If it is not arranged properly tomorrow, you and I will be killed! " Zhang Da said, "If he kills me, I might as well kill him!" Fan Jiang said, "I just can't get close to him." Zhang Da said: "If the two of us should not die, then he will be drunk in bed. If we should die, then he will not be drunk." The two men negotiated out. Zhang Fei was drunk again that night and lay in his tent. Fan and Zhang found out the news, and at the beginning of the night, each Wylie's knife was recorded in the account and Zhang Fei was killed. That night, he took Zhang Fei's head and fled to Soochow.
how did Guan Yu die and who did he die with?
Guan Yu suggested that Wu Jun retreat ten miles and meet him at the south gate. Lv Meng really withdrew ten miles, waiting for Guan Yu to surrender. Guan Yu and his eldest son, Guan Ping, took the opportunity to take more than a dozen cavalry, secretly fled out of the north gate to the west, and were captured by Wu's general Pan Zhang Sima Ma Zhong, who was bound to see Sun Quan. Sun Quan surrendered Guan Yu, and Guan Yu was killed by Pan Zhang with his son Guan Ping in lin ju. He died at the age of about 6, and his second son Guan Xingsi was the "Pavilion Hou of Hanshou". Liu Chan, Emperor Huaidi of Shu Dynasty, chased Guan Yu as a "strong and miaohou" in the third year of Jingyao (AD 26).
How did Guan Yu die? The real ten disgraces of Guan Yu, a martial artist, are as follows: In the new TV Three Kingdoms, I believe many people feel a little resentful of the role of Guan Gong. To put it bluntly, it's hard to be clever, and they just twist their heads when something happens. In fact, Guan Gong has done so many wrong things in his life, and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang has long been dissatisfied with him. Don't ask him to show off his bravado by guarding Jingzhou. He went to Jingzhou to destroy the alliance between Shu and Wu, and ended up losing Jingzhou, leaving Maicheng and being beheaded. You can't give him a nickname based on these.
How did Guan Yu die and who killed him
When Guan Yu withdrew, Sun Quan had already arrived in Jiangling and sent Lu Xun to capture Yiling (now Yichang, Hubei) and Zigui (now Zigui, Hubei), cutting off Guan Yu's retreat into Sichuan. On his way back to the army, Guan Yu sent people to Jiangling for information many times. Every time, Lu Meng waited on the emissary and let the emissary travel around the city. When the messenger returned to Guan Yu's army, the soldiers knew that their homes were safe and their fighting spirit was exhausted, and most of them fled halfway. Guan Yu knew that he was lonely, and sent someone to ask Liu Feng and Meng Da, the Shu generals stationed in Shangyong, for help. The two refused to support him on the grounds that Shangyong was new. Guan Yu was caught in a dilemma and was caught between Scylla and Charybdis, so he went west to Maicheng (now southeast of Dangyang, Hubei). At this time, Lu Xun pushed on the west and seized Yidu. Guan Yu saw that Maicheng was surrounded by enemies on the east, west and south, and reinforcements were too late, so he decided to break through and return to Xichuan.
Lu Meng knew Guan Yu and Serenade, and expected that he would take the path leading to Xichuan in the north of Maicheng to escape, so he sent troops to bury them in advance. In December, Sun Quan sent messengers to Maicheng to persuade Guan Yu to surrender. Guan Yu proposed that Wu Jun withdraw ten miles, and then meet at the south gate. Lv Meng really withdrew ten miles, waiting for Guan Yu to surrender. Guan Yu and his son Guan Ping took the opportunity to take more than a dozen cavalry, secretly fled out of the north gate to the west, and were captured by Sima Ma Zhong of Pan Zhang Department of Wu. In the first month of the following year, they were killed by Sun Quan together with their son Guan Ping in Jianye, and died at the age of about 6. In the third year of Jingyao (AD 26), Liu Chan, the late ruler of Shu, chased Guan Yu as "the strong Mihou" and his son Guan Xingshi.
how did Zhang Fei and Guan Yu die?
both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have the courage to be unstoppable. Guan Yu's "going through five customs and beheading six generals" and Zhang Fei's "a roar on the slope of Changban" are all beautiful talks. Unfortunately, none of them died well. Guan Yu defeated Maicheng with only a dozen riders, and was captured by Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong, unknown ministries under Sun Quan. Zhang Fei was killed by Zhang Da and Fan Jiang when he was asleep after drinking. Compared with the great power of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the past, this is extremely incompatible.
Guan Yu died on the word "arrogance", and the arrogant will be defeated. He looked down on veteran Huang Zhong, who has repeatedly made meritorious deeds, and claimed that he was "not among the veterans". He looked down on Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, and proposed to Sun Quan for his son. Not only did he not allow it, but he also insulted it. He even said, "How can my tiger daughter be worthy of your son!" He looked down on his colleagues Mi Fang and Shilin and claimed to settle accounts with them. He even looked down on Lu Xun, the young general of Dongwu, and called him "Xiao Er". Even Zhuge Liang, the strategist, refused to accept his words, and began to complain bitterly. Later, Zhuge Liang showed a few hands, and he had to accept it. In Guan Yu's eyes, there is only one elder brother, Liu Bei, and at most one righteous brother, Zhang Fei. Therefore, his vision is very narrow, and his stomach is too small to hold people. Finally, he is rebellious and exhausted, and he has to give in easily. When Guan Yu died, Sun Quan and Liu Bei's alliance between Shu and Wu broke down. Not only did Zhang Fei and Liu Bei die with him, but the trend of Shu's death was irreversible, although Zhuge Liang was crazy.
