Zhuge Liang knew that Guan Yu would release Cao Cao, why did he send him to guard Huarong Dao?

Yu Gong, let go of Cao Cao, who was greatly injured, was able to effectively contain Eastern Wu, leaving enough time for Shu Han to develop, and only by dividing the world could the forces be balanced. Yu private, this is a hot potato for Guan Yu, whether he lets go of Cao Cao or not, it's wrong for him, don't let it go, I'm sorry for Cao Cao's grace of the five passes, let it go, I can't give Zhuge Liang's order, and sure enough, I finally let Cao Cao go, isn't this pigtail in Zhuge Liang's hands, and in the future, Guan Zhang and the two will not accept this or that when Zhuge Liang makes political decisions? Kong Ming kills two birds with one stone.

In the past, under the influence of some wild history or literary works, I always felt that Zhuge Liang was loyal to Shu Han, and he had no last resort in military strategy, but whenever he appeared, he always had a charming protagonist halo. But in fact, Zhuge Liang is also a flesh-and-blood person, wouldn't he have his own selfishness? Knowing that Guan Yu was likely to intercept Cao Cao was a failure, why did he still go to the mountain when he knew that it would not work?

In addition to political considerations, Liu Bei's strategic base was not established at that time, and Cao Cao's existence was an important force to contain Sun Quan's group, coupled with the defeat of Cao Cao in the first battle of Chibi, and he was caught off guard by Zhao Yun who was ambushed on Wulin Road and Zhang Fei at Hulu Gukou, and since then his vitality has been greatly damaged, and he will inevitably recuperate for a long time. In this way, the Sun Wu regime and the Cao Wei regime contained each other, and Liu Bei's side could take the opportunity to develop and grow. After all, if Cao Cao dies and the north is in turmoil, Liu Bei, who is not strong enough at this time, will inevitably make way for Sun Quan's hegemony in the world.

And for Zhuge Liang personally, he also has his own selfishness, Guan Zhang and the others knew each other earlier because they had a friendship with Liu Bei, and their personal feelings were deeper, and they always interfered with Zhuge Liang's decision-making in the military camp, which made him feel aggrieved a long time ago, and just threw the hot potato of intercepting Cao Cao to Guan Yu, and he could also grab his pigtails. Therefore, there are no saints in this world, and neither is Zhuge Liang.

Cao Cao is kind to Guan Yu, Guan Yu will definitely let Cao Cao go, and if Cao Cao dies, it will be the Dongwu Group that will take the opportunity to become bigger and stronger, which is not good for Liu Bei Group, and someone needs to contain Dongwu.

Zhuge Liang knew Cao Cao's reaction after the defeat of Chibi and sent Guan Yu, because the Liu Bei group at that time was very weak at that time. And the only one who can really seize the opportunity and take the opportunity to grow is Sun Quan's Jiangdong Group.

Because before Mana, Cao Cao had helped Guan Yu, and Guan Yu was very honest and didn't like to owe favors, so he let Cao Cao go this time in order to repay a favor.

Zhuge Liang is not stupid, he knows that Guan Yu owes Cao Cao favors, so he pushes the boat down the river, the purpose is to use Cao Cao to contain Dongwu.

It mainly lays the foundation for the establishment of the Three Kingdoms. 1. The Battle of Chibi reduced Cao Cao's military strength. Liu Bei can obtain his own base.

Because Liu Bei can only win the support of the people for himself by continuing to play the slogan of hanging the people and killing the crime, that is to say, if Huarong Dao kills Cao Cao, Liu Bei will die. Only by letting Cao Cao go can Liu Bei live.

If Cao Cao is left behind, Sun Quan must continue to rely on the alliance with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao, and can only turn a blind eye to some of Liu Bei's small actions.

Because the Three Kingdoms at that time were in full force, once one of the forces was defeated, it would inevitably lead to the collapse of strength, and the Shu State at that time could not compete with the Wu State, so Zhuge Liang would make such a choice.

Because if Cao Cao was killed at that time, then the Central Plains would be disrupted, and it was not Liu Bei who benefited the most, and Zhuge Liang needed Guan Yu's guilt, so that he could gain more power.

Because Guan Yu has always been dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang, he took this opportunity to subdue Guan Yu, and at the same time asked Guan Yu to return Cao Cao's favor, killing two birds with one stone.

Because it was Guan Yu who applied to stay in Huarong Dao, and Guan Yu also made a military order at that time, Zhuge Liang was still very relieved about Guan Yu at that time

Let Guan Yu guard the first layer of Huarong Road, which means to let Guan Yu let Cao Cao live in order to repay the kindness of the previous support. There is also a layer of waiting for Guan Yu to come back and give Guan Yu a dismount. Guan Yu had always been dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang before. It's three birds with one stone, maybe there is a deeper meaning later, so let's study it slowly.

It was because Zhuge Liang wanted Liu Guanzhang and the others to owe him a great favor, so he sent Guan Yu to guard Huarong Dao, and Zhuge Liang's plan was very successful.

This is because Zhuge Liang didn't want to kill Cao Cao at that time, and he also knew that Guan Yu was very affectionate and righteous, and he would definitely let Cao Cao go, so he sent him.

Because Zhuge Liang thought that Cao Cao could not die at that time, and Zhuge Liang knew Guan Yu's temperament, he would let him guard Huarong Dao.

It was Zhuge Liang who wanted to send a favor to Guan Yu to buy Guan Yu, because Guan Yu was always a little unconvinced by Zhuge Liang, so Zhuge Liang used this trick to convince Guan Yu from then on.

The reason why Sun Quan united with Liu Bei and lent the land of Jingzhou to Liu Bei was because of the existence of Cao Mengde; A powerful Cao Mengde made Sun Quan have to cooperate with Liu Bei, cooperation is life, and infighting is death. If Cao Mengde, a powerful existence, no longer exists, then Sun Quan will inevitably strike first and defeat Liu Bei; With Liu Bei's strength at that time, it was indeed difficult to defeat the thunder blow of Eastern Wu! Zhuge Liang thought about it for a long time, thinking that if he sent other generals to Huarong Dao to capture and kill Cao Cao, Meng De would definitely fall; Only by sending Guan Yu of Bo Yuntian to capture and kill Cao Cao can Meng De have a chance to live.

To save Cao Mengde's life is to save Liu Bei's life, this thing can't be said explicitly, but can only be done, so Guan Yu was sent to Huarong Dao!

Guan Yu is a person who attaches great importance to righteousness, and modern people inevitably mention Guan Yu when they mention righteousness, which means that Guan Yu is the embodiment of righteousness! Guan Yu was once trapped in Cao Ying, and Cao Mengde's care for Guan Yu can be described as meticulous, from the travel honor guard to the clothing, food, housing and transportation, all of which are the best within Cao Cao's ability! Cao Cao treated Guan Yu like a brother, but Guan Yu never forgot to worship his eldest brother Liu Bei, and finally Guan Yu rode alone for thousands of miles, and took his two sisters-in-law to find his eldest brother Liu Bei!

One of the possible reasons why Guan Yu wanted to leave Cao Mengde was that he was afraid that he would be with Cao Mengde for a long time, and he would be impressed by Cao Mengde's courage! Guan Yu passed five levels and killed six generals, but Cao Mengde did not pursue him, but sent a customs clearance document to let Guan Yu pass, and did not pursue Guan Yu's killing of six generals!

In addition to eating, drinking, and enjoying himself in Cao Ying, Guan Yu also helped Cao Cao do a big thing, which also made Guan Yu have friendships with many generals in Cao Cao's camp. Yuan Shao ordered the general Yan Liang to attack Cao Cao and march into Baimapo, Yan Liang was invincible, both beheading Cao Xian and Wei Xu, and defeating Xu Huang, Cao's army was shocked. Guan Yu single-handedly went straight to the enemy camp, immediately beheaded Yan Liang under the horse, and the siege of the white horse was solved.

Guan Yu returned to the court, Cao Cao praised him, and applied to Emperor Xian of Han to seal Guan Yu as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion. Cao Cao also fought with Guan Yu for a woman, that is, Qin Yilu's wife Du Shi, although Cao Cao married Du Shi, but gave Guan Yu a red rabbit horse! In addition, Guan Yu's warm wine and killing Huaxiong was also facilitated by Cao Mengde.

On Huarong Road, Cao Cao knew that he could not defeat Guan Yu, so he stepped forward to talk to him, Guan Yu couldn't bear to kill Cao Cao, so he let the sergeants scatter and let Cao Cao pass. Cao Cao had already passed with the generals, Yun Chang shouted, and all the troops dismounted and cried to the ground; Yun Chang became more and more unbearable, and Zhang Liao arrived when he hesitated; When Yun Chang saw it, he moved his old feelings again, sighed, and let them go. In other words, Cao Cao's entire army was let go by Guan Yu, and there was no loss of a single soldier!

Afterwards, Zhuge Liang pretended to behead Guan Yu, but Liu Bei persuaded him to make meritorious service to Guan Yu! In contrast, Xu Huang was much more clear than Guan Yu, and during the Battle of Fancheng, Xu Huang was ordered to attack Guan Yu to relieve the siege of Cao Ren. Guan Yu stepped forward to talk to Xu Huang about friendship, and he didn't want Xu Huang to drink

If you get the head of the cloud chief, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold! Guan Yu was shocked: Why did Gongming say this?

Xu Huang: Today is a matter of the state, and I dare not abolish the public with private interests. In the end, Xu Huang defeated Guan Yu and relieved the siege of Fancheng, while Guan Yu defeated Maicheng!

Zhuge Liang deliberately asked Guan Yu to let Cao Cao go, so that the north could be pacified, and Guan Yu owed himself a favor, and he would never dare to openly disagree in the future!

Because Guan Yu has always been dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang arranged for Guan Yu to guard Huarong Dao, which is equivalent to grabbing Guan Yu's little handle, and Guan Yu will be obedient in the future.

In fact, Zhuge Liang did this on purpose, because he knew that Cao Cao could not die on his own territory, which would allow the entire Cao Wei to deal with Liu Bei.

Because Zhuge Liang knew that Cao Cao was still in a state of flux at this time, and his strength was very strong, he could not be killed at this time, and if he was killed, his soldiers would inevitably retaliate.

Because Zhuge Liang wanted Guan Yu to return Cao Cao's favor, which would be beneficial to the future conquest of the world, Zhuge Liang also asked Cao Cao to guard Huarong Dao.

Zhuge Liang knew that Guan Yu would let Cao Cao go, because he felt that Cao Cao should not die at this time, and if he died, it would definitely cause his son's revenge.

Because Zhuge Liang saw through Dongwu's tricks and knew that Guan Yu had no way to stop Cao Cao, he would pretend to let Guan Yu do such a thing, pretending to intercept Cao Cao, and at that time, Guan Yu was not very convinced Zhuge Liang, and he also wanted to make Guan Yu recognize him through this matter.

Because Zhuge Liang's original intention was to let Cao Cao go, rather than letting others go, it was better to let Guan Yu do favors.

In fact, Zhuge Liang also had his own consideration of starting the sales wheel, and he wanted to let Guan Yu quietly return Cao Cao's people after staring at this matter, so as not to bring a worse situation to the future battle.

Huarong Dao is the plot in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so this issue can only be analyzed from the perspective of romance, and the official history party should not take it seriously.

The Battle of Red Cliffs is the most important story in Romance, and there is no one. From the beginning of Liu Bei's crossing of the river with his people, Luo Guanzhong spent a full ten chapters describing the Battle of Chibi, accounting for nearly 1 10 of the book's length. In fact, in history, Zhuge Liang's role in the Battle of Chibi only contributed to the Sun-Liu Alliance, and did not play a role.

Luo Guanzhong put Zhuge Liang throughout the entire process of the Battle of Chibi, and completely controlled the development of the plot, and could even decide Cao Cao's life and death, and Huarong Dao was the key to Cao Cao's life and death. Zhuge Liang could have been able to arrest Cao Cao in Huarong Dao, but he sent Guan Yu to guard him and let Cao Cao go the most, why did he do this?

First of all, it was not good for Liu Bei to catch Cao Cao at this time, and he could not realize the plan of dividing the world into three parts.

Zhuge Liang's three-point world is Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, all of which are indispensable. If Cao Cao is caught at this time, then the north will definitely be in chaos, and at that time, Sun Quan's strength was second only to Cao Cao, and Liu Bei was even inferior to Ma Chao and Liu Zhang, and he was unable to compete with Sun Quan.

Sun Quan can take advantage of the situation to capture Xuzhou on the eastern front and Jingzhou on the western front, then Liu Bei, who is huddled in Xiakou at this time, will have no way out and will most likely be annexed by Sun Quan. Therefore, capturing Cao Cao at this time is extremely unfavorable to Liu Bei, and it is impossible to achieve three points in the world.

Secondly, Guan Yu is the best candidate.

Zhuge Liang had already calculated Cao Cao's escape route, which would pass through three dangerous places: Wulin Road, Hulukou and Huarong Road. He planned to use the Wulin Trail and Hulukou to consume Cao Cao's remaining strength, so that when Cao Cao arrived at Huarong Dao, he was sleepy and completely incapacitated.

But Cao Cao can't be caught, so Huarong Dao's personnel arrangements are very important. Not only can he not lose his face with his clever calculation, but he also has to let Cao Cao run away reasonably, and it is most suitable to look at Liu Bei's account only Guan Yu.

First, Guan Yu is loyal and righteous, and he has an old relationship with Cao Cao, so he must read the love network of Xu Du's seal and seal gold. If he were someone else, Cao Cao would have no way to escape. Zhuge Liang did this as a favor.

Second, although Zhuge Liang was very prosperous when the new official took office, Guan Yu never bought him in his heart, so Zhuge Liang wanted to use Huarong Dao to convince Guan Yu.

So Zhuge Liang arranged for Zhao Yun to ambush Wulin Xiaolu, and Hulukou asked Zhang Fei to ambush, but Guan Yu was not assigned a task. Guan Yu was in a hurry, so he asked him for his life. Zhuge Liang said that he was afraid that the general would let Cao Cao go in the old relationship, and if he insisted on going, he must make a military order.

Guan Yu agreed and set off with 500 school swordsmen.

As expected, Guan Yu let Cao Cao and his party go and came back to resume his life. Zhuge Liang insisted on acting according to the military order and beheaded Guan Yu, but Liu Bei persuaded him bitterly, and Zhuge Liang "had to" give up. Zhuge Liang skillfully used Huarong Dao to teach Guan Yu a lesson.

However, there is indeed a record of Cao Cao's escape through Huarong Road in the official history, but there is a discrepancy with Romance. In the official history, Liu Bei led the troops to pursue, but he didn't catch up.

If Cao Cao is captured, it will cause a crazy counterattack by Cao Wei's forces and put himself in a desperate situation, so Cao Cao can only be released.

Because Zhuge Liang knew that Cao Cao was kind to Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang also wanted to use this opportunity to get Guan Yu to pay him off, so he did so.
