How did Guan Yu become famous? What did Guan Yu do

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), Cao Cao sent Liu Dai and Wang Zhong to attack Liu Bei, but was defeated by Liu Bei, Cao Cao then personally raised the army to go to the expedition, Liu Bei was defeated and fled to Yuan Shao, Guan Yu was defeated and captured, and surrendered as a last resort.

Later, Yuan Shao sent generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Guo Tu and others to attack Liu Yanyu in Baima, and Cao Cao personally led the army to rescue him, and ordered Zhang Liao and Guan Yu to be the vanguard. Guan Yu saw Yan Liang's cover, rode his horse and charged, killed Yan Liang in the army, and returned with his head, the generals of the Yuan army were unstoppable, the siege of the white horse was lifted, and Guan Yu was named the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion.

Guan Yu became famous indeed because of "warm wine and slashing Huaxiong". Guan Yu took the initiative to ask Ying to fight Huaxiong and killed Huaxiong in a very short time before the warm wine cooled, and Guan Yu shocked the princes from then on.

"Warm Wine Chopping Hua (huà) Xiong" is a classic plot in the long history ** "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four famous novels. What is described is: Dong Zhuo deposed the young emperor Liu Bian and established Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the emperor, who was cruel and unkind and abused power in the court.

The princes of the Eighteenth Route of the Kwantung Province, composed of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, jointly attacked Dong Zhuo, but the forward Sun Jian was defeated by Hua Xiong when he marched to Bishui Pass, and Hua Xiong was invincible.

When Pan Feng and other generals were killed by Hua Xiong one after another, Guan Yu took the initiative to invite Ying to go to fight Hua Xiong, and killed Hua Xiong in a very short time before the warm wine cooled, and Guan Yu became famous from then on. Seen in the fifth chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Some of Guan Yu's legends and stories must be well known to everyone, but perhaps many people still don't know the real reason why Guan Yu became famous, here I will list two conclusions that I have personally reached (purely personal opinions, and have nothing to do with the real history of the Three Kingdoms):

1) Kill the enemy general.

This is an important reason why Guan Yu became famous, the tiger prison Guan beheaded Huaxiong, and the white horse Yanjin punished Yan Liangwen and ugliness, making him famous, but maybe everyone didn't find a very important point, Guan Yu was almost unnamed when he clashed with the enemy generals in his life, thinking that when he first debuted, he followed Liu Bei to fight the Yellow Turban is to kill the Yellow Turban Marshal Cheng Yuanzhi with a knife without a name, Guan Gong seems to have tasted the sweetness and never reported his name since the confrontation, especially Yan Liangwen Chou, the two generals of the Three Kingdoms, died unjustly under the big knife, Both of them suffered a dumb loss Yan Liang won a row in Baimapo, Cao Cao, dozens of generals met Guan Yu, and he was happy in his heart, ready to wait for Guan Yu to finish his name and then fight, but he didn't expect Guan Yu's quality to be so low that he killed each other without saying anything in front of him, Wen Chou sent troops to Yanjin in order to avenge his brother, he heard that his brother was killed by the other party with a knife, so he wanted to know who this general was, Guan Yu schemed and beheaded the other party, thinking that Wen Chou fought with Zhao Yun in Hebei for 50 rounds without winning or losing, no matter how it was, it was impossible to be killed with a knife, It can be inferred from this that Hua Xiong's death is similar to this, and Guan Yu has won completely by force, but those are just some small minions.

b) Good luck.

Guan Yu once killed someone in the county when he was young, and this time was also the beginning of his good luck, he actually let Guan Yu run away and changed the word, and then his luck was out of control, maybe because he was too poor, he was ready to join the army, but somehow it was so coincidental that he could only become a small soldier, so he actually met Liu Bei, who changed his life, and began the road to fame, and then encountered a lot of things when he traveled north and south, but his luck was so good, and every time he became a masterpiece of his fame, I am here for a few well-known things: (1) Guan Yu only had a few soldiers left on Tushan, but he met Cao Cao, who cherished talents, and saved his life. (2) Thousands of miles to ride alone, it was Cao Cao Ai who let him go before he left a life.

3) In Jingzhou, I don't know why it was so coincidental, but it rained heavily, and the river rose and drowned Cao's army, and luck allowed him to complete the great cause of flooding the Seventh Army. (4) It was also in Jingzhou that he was hit by Pang De's poisoned arrow, and he almost became an immortal, but he met Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor at that time, and saved his life again. I won't list all the other incidents

3) False benevolence and false righteousness.

I'll give you two examples of this (1) At that time, he left Cao Cao and said that he didn't want anything, he stayed, since he wanted to be a big hero, he didn't take anything, but he rode away Red Rabbit (2) When he fought in Changsha, he and Huang Zhong fought without winning or losing, it can be said that the two were attracted to each other, but later Liu Bei sealed the Five Tigers, and the first Huang Zhong to oppose was Guan Yu.

The feudal rulers revered Guan Yu and was not Luo Guanzhong's ** famous.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Jian originally won the battle and beheaded Hua Xiong, but in order to highlight Guan Yu's bravery, Romance used Hua Xiong to defeat Sun Jian and was later beheaded by Guan Yu to get rid of Guan Yu's martial arts, of course, there was no glorious incident of the three events of the later Guan Convention.

After Guan Yu's death, his image was gradually deified by later generations, and has always been the object of folk sacrifice, and he is respected as "Guan Gong"; In the Qing Dynasty, he was enshrined as "the Emperor of Loyalty, Righteousness, Martial Spirit, Benevolence, Courage and Might", and was worshiped as the "Martial Saint", and was as famous as Confucius. The long history ** "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" also has many descriptions of Guan Yu's deeds, in "Romance" Guan Yu is described as the head of the "Five Tiger Generals", and Mao Zonggang called it the "righteousness" in the "Romance" Three Uniques". Being righteous and righteous generally worships Guan Yu in the black and astringent society.

Guan Yu turned out to be a small trader selling dates.

Guan Yu's profession is not mentioned in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu fled his hometown to Zhuo County in Youzhou in his early years due to crimes, and sold dates on the way to escape.

Guan Yu was a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. When Liu Bei raised his army, Guan Yu followed Liu Bei, was loyal, and was deeply trusted by Liu Bei. Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others entered the Shu State, Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou, after Liu Bei seized Hanzhong, Guan Yu took advantage of the situation to attack Wei in the north, and had besieged Xiangfan, captured Yu Ban, beheaded Pang De, and shocked Huaxia, the Central Plains was shaken, but the Eastern Wu sneak attack Jingzhou, Guan Yu was defeated and killed.
