    There are several reasons why Guan Yu failed to get assistance from Maicheng:

    First, when Guan Yu attacked Maicheng at that time, he did not report to Liu Bei in advance. Therefore, Liu Bei did not make a unified arrangement. Therefore, it is not possible to temporarily mobilize troops to support;

    Second, Guan Yu was not the direct superior of Liu Feng and Meng Da at that time, so he had no right to directly command the two of them to send troops. His correct approach was to report to the lord Liu Bei and ask Liu Bei to order Liu Feng and Meng Da to go to support. But Guan Yu did not do this, but directly ordered Liu Feng and Meng Da.

    The reason why Guan Yu did this may be that he thinks very highly of himself and acts beyond his authority. also brought disaster to himself;

    Third, there are records that when Liu Feng was in Chengdu, he was often found and reprimanded by Guan Yu for his outrageous behavior, so he held a grudge. In addition, Liu Feng often bullied Meng Da, and the main and deputy generals were not in harmony. Therefore, the two of them actually have a negative attitude towards sending troops to rescue Guan Yu;

    Fourth, Liu Bei was on his way back to Hanzhong at that time, and Zhuge Liang was far away in Yizhou. Therefore, neither of them was able to send troops to rescue in time.

    First of all, Guan Yu's character is a little stubborn, he is extremely confident in his ability, so he never takes ordinary people in his eyes, and he lost Maicheng because he underestimated Lu Meng of Eastern Wu, made assertions, and lost Jingzhou due to letting his vigilance down.

    Later, he was defeated by the enemy in the belly of Maicheng, Liu Bei was far away in Hanzhong, even if he got the news of Guan Yu's defeat, it was impossible to send troops to rescue in time, Zhuge Liang was in Chengdu for the same reason, due to Guan Yu's frequent victories before, he captured Wei alive and killed the general Pang De, which shocked the world.

    No one would have thought that Guan Yu would lose Jingzhou due to negligence, even Zhuge Liang would not have expected this situation, and everything happened too suddenly.

    At that time, the closest to Guan Yu were Liu Feng and Meng Da, but the two of them had been punished by Guan Yu before and held a grudge, especially Liu Feng, Guan Yu opposed Liu Bei to accept him as an adopted son, and now Guan Yu is in trouble, Liu Feng sees the opportunity for revenge.

    Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou and was attacked from both sides, and the defeat of Maicheng was already the end of the strong crossbow, and the Shu State turned from prosperity to decline.

    In August of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, and surrendered to the forbidden Pang De, and the soldiers were in full swing, and they shocked China. At this time, who would have thought that Guan Yu would be defeated after only three or four months? The news sent back to Chengdu to Liu Bei is all good news, how can there be a reason in the world to increase troops after winning a battle?

    Therefore, the Shu Han side must not have imagined that the tide of the battle would turn around so quickly, and it was too late to send troops to rescue it when the news of defeat was transmitted back to Chengdu. Chengdu to Hubei Public Security now has to take a train for more than half a day, not to mention the conditions at that time! And Cao Wei and Dongwu didn't expect it.

    Cao Wei just wanted to understand the siege of Fancheng and repelled Guan Yu, so he didn't chase him. Dongwu also did not expect that when his army had just arrived in Nanjun and under the city of Gong'an, the defenders of the city would surrender. It was so easy, and the soldiers had to take the city without blood.

    With such a fast speed of progress Liu Bei, no one could have imagined Guan Yuren, and it is estimated that even Sun Quan and Lu Meng may not have thought of it. Because Lü Meng pretended to be a merchant when he crossed the river in white, and the soldiers hid in the cabin, it can be seen that Lü Meng must have planned to storm Nanjun City, or else it would be a sneak attack. So it's not that Liu Bei didn't save him, but first, he didn't expect Guan Yu to worship so quickly.

    Second, it is useless to wait for the report of defeat to come and then save it.

    Guan Yu was loyal to the Han family, not to Liu Bei. Loyal to Liu Bei is because Liu Bei can revive the Han dynasty in a straightforward manner. Liu Bei asked him to guard Jingzhou for many years, and his forces in Jingzhou were formed, Sun Caolian and Jingzhou were beaten, why didn't Liu Bei support it?

    Because Guan Yu must die, Guan Yu cannot be called the emperor if he does not die. After Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei did not avenge him for the first time, but called him emperor, and so did Cao Wei. Eastern Wu only called the king, because Liu Bei wanted to annex Eastern Wu in the name of avenging his brother, and the weakest Eastern Wu could only be called the king and attached to Cao Wei.

    Guan Yu had said bad things about Liu Feng and looked down on people before. To put it simply, he offended people, Liu Feng held a grudge, so he didn't send troops to rescue.

    Don't guess, you don't understand the real history, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are still in the world, they are gods, they know that the eldest brother is in trouble, and they still have to bite the bullet, because among the many gods, ghosts and Buddhas, they are nothing, and then after knowing that the eldest brother is Wukong, they are very excited, and they don't have to scruple so much if they have Wukong to support them, if there is no good affection, for so long for a thousand years, will Guan Yu and Zhang Fei still be loyal to Liu Bei.

    It's hard to say, there is no record after all, it's all guesswork. Even the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms can't explain why Chengdu has not moved on Guan Yu's Northern Expedition from beginning to end, which is completely illogical. But after all, Shu Han himself has historians, but there are no historical materials, and no one can say how much dirt was hidden during it.

    Guan Yu was a hero all his life, but in the end he was defeated and took Maicheng, no one to save him, not to mention that all parties wanted to win over Guan Yu's strength, just saying that no one in the Shu State camp to save was an accident but it was also reasonable, which can be seen from the following aspects:

    Clause. First, no one to save is related to Guan Yu's personal quality, to a certain extent, Guan Yu belongs to the foolish loyalty, only loyal to Liu Bei, not loyal to the great cause of Shu, Guan Yu is brave and good at fighting, no one can match, there is no doubt about it, but he himself is in front of many major rights and wrongs, brotherhood is higher than the great cause of Shu, in other words, the great cause of Shu needs to give way to Liu Guanzhang and the three of them, brotherhood took pictures before the Jiangshan Sheji of Shu, it is because of this character, Guan Yu invisibly offended many people, It's just because he is Liu Bei's sworn brother, so in the same camp he did not show obvious anti-Guan Yu or disobedient voice of Guan Yu, on the other hand, Guan Yu has a brilliant and undefeated record in his life, so no matter from the situation of worship or flattery, Guan Yu will not have an accident, and when Guan Yu really has an accident, those people in the Shu camp have a reason not to save Guan Yu in any way, which Liu Bei is also powerless, which is also the sad part of Guan Yu's heroic life.

    Clause. Second, put aside the great cause of Shu, just talk about brotherhood, no matter when Taoyuan is married, no matter if any of the three brothers have an accident, the other two will be rescued thousands of miles away, but Guan Yu defeated Maicheng at the same time Liu Bei was burned by Lu Xun and was unable to save, Zhang Fei guarded Langzhong, that is, the place where Brazil County was governed, and Zhuge Liang at this time was in Chengdu, more than 1,500 miles apart, no matter which route could not be rescued, the heart was strong and the rest was insufficient.

    Clause. 3. At that time, the information dissemination was not developed, and it was estimated that the news was received from Chengdu, and Guan Yu had not yet been sent to rescue Guan Yu had been killed, so Guan Yu was defeated and no one could save Maicheng, which was both a certain number and a fate, and he was grieving and whining.

    Because the transmission of information was not developed in ancient times, he was already dead when others received the information, so there was no one to save him.

    Liu Bei didn't expect that Sun Quan would betray the alliance at this time, so Guan Yu's defeat at that time did not reach Liu Bei's army. Guan Yu was killed in Linfu to Chengdu, more than a thousand kilometers. According to the current road conditions, it will take half a month to hike. So Liu Bei didn't have time to save Guan Yu.

    Because the war was urgent at that time, it was an emergency, and others had no time to go to the rescue.

    The main reason why Liu Bei did not save Guan Yu at that time was that when the incident happened, Liu Bei was unexpected, and at that time, he had more than enough strength but was not enough, and he was too late to march on foot, which also led to the failure to save Guan Yu in time.

    There are many opinions in the historical circles on this issue, and some scholars have even put forward such a view, they believe that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang did not send troops to rescue Guan Yu, which was "killing people with a knife". For example, a scholar believes that "because of Guan Yu's arrogance and domineering, it has become the biggest obstacle on the road to Zhuge Liang's seizure of power, so Zhuge Liang did not hesitate to put Guan Yu to death at the hands of fake Wu people."

    is the so-called "careless loss of Jingzhou", and the Xichuan reinforcements are thousands of miles away, and the distant water can't save the near fire, plus the second brother Guan can't imagine that he will be defeated suddenly, and this situation Brother Pig and Da Er are even more unexpected. Liu Feng and Meng Dan's reinforcements were nothing at all, but if they sent troops, Second Brother Guan would not be defeated in Maicheng. bs is a human being.

    If you have time, you can take a look at Yi Zhongtian's "Three Kingdoms", which explains this problem in detail enough.

    Because Liu Bei was fighting Hanzhong at this time, the main force was all close to Hanzhong, and Cao Cao was in a fierce battle, so he had no time to take care of anything else. When the news of Guan Yu's defeat came, it was already too late.

    In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Guan Yu attacked Fancheng, and was flooded in the forbidden Seventh Army, and the military power was greatly boosted, and Cao Cao had proposed to move the capital to avoid its edge. In October of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Lü Meng, the general of Wu, attacked Jingzhou and captured Jiangling, Guan Yu's base camp, when Guan Yu and Fancheng defender Cao Ren were confronted. Guan Yu was attacked on both sides, and hurriedly withdrew his troops from Fancheng to the west and stationed in Maicheng.

    Lü Meng adopted a strategy of division and disintegration, so that Guan Yu's soldiers had no intention of fighting and gradually dispersed. Guan Yu was isolated and helpless, and held on to Maicheng. Sun Quan sent someone to lure Guan Yu to surrender, Guan Yu pretended to surrender, set up a banner at the head of the city, pretending to be a sergeant, but he fled, only more than ten horsemen followed.

    Sun Quan sent Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang to cut off Guan Yu's various ways, captured Guan Yu and his son Guan Ping in Linfu, and immediately executed them.

    There are many ways to say this, such as the distance is too far, and it's too late to send troops. Personally, I believe that Liu Bei took this opportunity to kill Guan Yu.

    Guan yu. As Shu Han.

    The general, although he is arrogant on weekdays, but that is only for his superiors and talented people, on the contrary, when Guan Yu was guarding Jingzhou, he never regarded himself as a general for his subordinates, but took care of his subordinates. Guan Yu, who already advocates martial arts, respects soldiers from the bottom of his heart, so Guan Yu is regarded as a person who loves soldiers like sons. When Xiang Pet died on the battlefield, it was the Shu army who desperately snatched back his body, which shows that the Shu army is not ruthless and unintentional.

    The reason why they abandoned Guan Yu was also a helpless move. Guan Yu launched the Battle of Xiangfan.

    After that, there has been a losing streak, so that the soldiers feel very hopeless. Guan Yu also knew that the soldiers had been fighting for a long time and were already physically and mentally exhausted, and he wanted to end the war quickly, but he didn't expect it to be because of Xu Huang.

    Holding on to the city turned into a protracted war. Plus Soochow.

    pressure, the battle has become more difficult.

    As a last resort, Guan Yu asked Meng Da.

    Liu Feng asked for help, but they did not expect that they refused to send troops, and when the soldiers saw this situation, they all thought that the hope of victory was very slim. If Guan Yu's death can be exchanged for their peace, they can only be selfish. Because Guan Yu has been stationed in Jingzhou for a long time, most of his soldiers have homes and relatives in Jingzhou.

    In Sun Quan. After occupying Jingzhou and other places, the families of the soldiers were also taken hostage, and the soldiers had no choice but to abandon Guan Yu and protect their relatives. If Sun Quan had killed the soldier's relatives, then Guan Yu might have been able to take advantage of the soldier's anger and strike back, but the opposite was true.

    When Guan Yu sent an envoy and Lu Meng.

    During the negotiation, Lü Meng first took the envoy around the city, and only when he saw that the soldier's relatives were safe and sound, he would let him go. When the envoy returned, the soldiers were the first to gather around to inquire about the condition of their relatives, and the messenger also told everyone that the relatives were fine. All in all, the main reason why Guan Yu had no one around him was the soldiers' relatives.

    A war that can't see victory, and the relatives who can be saved, choose one of the two, and whoever will choose their relatives, although the soldiers abandon Guan Yu Although it is a bit against loyalty, it is also forced by the situation. Secondly, Guan Yu usually doesn't know how to build a good relationship with his colleagues, at a critical moment, Meng Da and Liu Feng's refusal to send troops caused the war situation to be irreversible, if they send troops to help, maybe Guan Yu will not die, and Shu Han will also be a different ending.

    There was no one to help him, everyone was in danger when he lost Maicheng, and he was about to lose his life, so how could he have time to take care of others, and he was sleepy and tired, and he didn't have the energy to help Guan Yu.

    First of all, because the power of Eastern Wu was too great at that time, even if some soldiers helped Guan Yu, it would be useless, and secondly, because Lu Meng used a surprise attack to defeat Guan Yu at that time, and it was too late to help.

    Because of his low emotional intelligence, he always put on an arrogant face, and he didn't go to the hearts of the soldiers, so no one helped him when he lost Maicheng.

    Guan Yu's martial arts were very strong, but he was attacked by Eastern Wu and occupied Jingzhou, and finally defeated Maicheng. So as Guan Yu's third brother, why didn't Zhang Fei save him? If Zhang Fei can't save him, who else can Guan Yu?

    MePersonally, I think that Zhang Feiyuan was in Yizhou at that time, and it was too late to rescue Guan Yu when he received Guan Yu's request for help. There are two people who can rescue Guan Yu, one is Ma Chao and the other is Liu Feng.

    1. Zhang Feiyuan was in Yizhou, and it was too late to rescue Guan Yu. Second, Guan Yu died in Linfang, and Ma Chao could have rescued him.

    Third, Guan Yu once turned to Liu Feng for help, and if Liu Feng sent troops at that time, Guan Yu could be saved.
