Why didn t Guan Yu s subordinates have qualified lieutenants to stay in the rear? What s going on?

Guan Yu has a deputy general who can be stationed in the rear, but there is a person with a relatively high status in the rear, and the deputy general generally needs to follow the main general to fight.

01, the deputy general followed Guan Yu to fight. During the Three Kingdoms period, as long as the generals basically had their own lieutenants, Guan Yu had three lieutenants, namely the eldest son Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua. When Guan Yu launched the Battle of Xiangfan, the three lieutenant generals followed Guan Yu to fight.

This is also exquisite, the duty of the deputy general in ancient times is to assist the main general to fight, sometimes they are needed, to put it bluntly, they have to follow the main general to fight, of course, there are also confident generals who let the deputy general stay and go out alone.

Guan Yu's battle of Xiangfan was against Cao Wei, Cao Wei rarely lost during the Three Kingdoms period, and the soldiers were abundant, of course Guan Yu did not dare to hold it up, he had to go all out to defeat Cao Wei. In addition to this, there is another reason, generally let a person be a deputy general is basically more optimistic about him, they follow the main general in addition to assisting the main general, is to take a little experience, see how the main general fights, how to train troops, let them accumulate experience, convenient for reuse in the future, war is the best way to accumulate experience, so Guan Yu took the deputy general to go together, and Guan Yu's deputy general is each of them has a good ability.

02, there are people stationed behind Guan Yu. When Guan Yu was stationed in Jingzhou, he heard that Liu Bei had captured Hanzhong and launched the Battle of Xiangfan himself. This battle was both a glory and a shame for Guan Yu.

Glory refers to the fact that he led his troops to defeat Cao Cao several times, and even captured Pang De and shocked Huaxia. The shame is that in the end he failed, not only did he die, but also lost Jingzhou. The biggest reason for the defeat was that Jingzhou was lost, and the back road was cut off, resulting in the unstable morale of the troops at the front.

Jingzhou was lost because Mi Fang and Fu Shiren, who were stationed in Jingzhou at that time, surrendered to Eastern Wu. After Guan Yu set out on the expedition, Mi Fang was responsible for Guan Yu's logistics and garrisoned Jingzhou, and the reason why Guan Yu did not let the deputy general garrison Jingzhou in the rear was also because of Mi Fang. First of all, Guan Yu looked down on Mi Fang, and Mi Fang also did not deal with Guan Yu, Guan Yu did not want his deputy general to suffer.

Moreover, Mi Fang has a high status and high position in Shu Han, and Guan Yu's deputy general can't be the master even in Jingzhou, so he can only obey Mi Fang's words. Therefore, it is the same whether Guan Yu stays in the rear or not, and Mi Fang is the key.

Because Guan Yu is arrogant by nature. So he didn't really care much about the lieutenant general, he felt that as long as he guarded this place, it was enough.

Some. It's just that they can't convince Guan Yu, otherwise they will change history and go down in history!

Because most of Guan Yu's subordinates do not have very strong strength; Guan Yu went out to fight at that time, and the deputy generals left behind were useless, and he didn't hold it in the end.

At that time, Guan Yu was responsible for guarding Jingzhou, and there had never been a large-scale war, and their thinking was relatively lax, and they did not consider training reserve talents.

1. Regarding the relationship between Liu Bei and Guan Yu, some scholars once had a radical view, believing that Liu Bei was afraid that Guan Yu would be arrogant and difficult to control after his death, and his son Liu Chan would not be able to deal with it, so he used the hands of Eastern Wu to get rid of Guan Yu. Xinghuochen disagrees with this view.

Although this view is ingenious, Xinghuochen does not dare to agree. At that time, Liu Bei only occupied a part of Yizhou and a part of Jingzhou, Yizhou was still unstable, Jingzhou was extremely important, at this time Liu Bei should be recruiting heroes to employ people, and the salvation plan is still not time to give, how can there be that necessary, that energy to eliminate his generals. What's more, in order to clear Guan Yu and lose Jingzhou, Liu Bei lost a general and self-destructed the Great Wall, not to mention, but also lost power and land, so that relatives are painful and enemies are happy, what good is it for him?

Second, is the relationship between Liu Bei and Guan Yu as described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, intimate and free of suspicion? I don't think that's necessarily the case.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms naturally has an exaggerated element of the intimacy of Liu Guanzhang's relationship. It should be said that in Liu Guanzhang's early years, when they first started the army, that kind of relationship must have been very iron. But when Liu Bei has already laid down some territory, and when Guan Yu guards Jingzhou alone, and is almost equal to Liu Bei in the eyes of the princes, this relationship will definitely change.

At that time, Guan Yu led the army to attack Cao Ren, flooded the forbidden Seventh Army, shocked Huaxia, and Cao Cao's rear was also in turmoil, and many people responded to Guan Yu. You must know that at this time, it was not Liu Bei, but Guan Yu, and it was not Liu Bei who responded to everyone, but Guan Yu. It can be seen that Guan Yu has the potential to shake the master, and it is impossible for Liu Bei to turn a blind eye, but just treat Guan Yu with brotherly affection.

The kings of all dynasties have the right to skill, and Liu Bei will not be an exception.

Third, therefore, although Guan Yu guards Jingzhou alone and holds the military and political power of Jingzhou, his employment is by no means something that Guan Yu can say alone, especially in the employment of key positions, it is impossible for Guan Yu not to listen to Liu Bei.

In fact, in ancient times, in order to check and balance the generals, the king had a system for a long time, that is, the hostage system. The commander sent his relatives to live in the capital, which was equivalent to becoming a hostage of the king. This is true not only for the generals, but also for the soldiers who are forced to go on the march.

Once, Guan Ping was by Liu Bei's side, but when Guan Yu was alone in Jingzhou, Guan Ping was sent back to Guan Yu's side, which was actually a power trick for Liu Bei to appease Guan Yu, which means that my trust in you does not need hostages to maintain. However, later Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, and Guan Yu's army collapsed for a while, resulting in Guan Yu being captured, which actually proved that Liu Bei's regime had implemented a hostage system for Jingzhou soldiers and generals, but these hostages were not in Chengdu in Yizhou, but in Jiangling, Gong'an and other places in Jingzhou. As soon as these two places were lost, the hostages fell into the hands of Eastern Wu, so Guan Yu's army was defeated without a fight.

In the two important areas of Jiangling and Gong'an, the generals in charge of guarding the town were Liu Bei's people, not Guan Yu's cronies.

In fact, when Liu Bei left Jingzhou, Liu Bei's deputy assigned to Guan Yu was not a low-handed person, but a high-level match, he arranged his brother-in-law Mi Fang and Fu Shiren to assist Guan Yu, and at the same time arranged for Jingzhou native Jie Baimei Ma Liang to be politically staffed, in addition to Guan Yu's descendants Guan Ping, Liao Hua, and Pan Jun were also stationed in Jingzhou, and Wang Fu, Zhao Lei and other political talents who were good at governing the local area also stayed in Jingzhou. Outside Jingzhou, Liu Bei's son Liu Feng guarded Shangyong, and Guan Ji Shiyu were each other's horns.

Because at that time, Guan Yu Fangchun's deputy family was only ordered by Zhou Cang and Guan Ping, if one was left, it would not be good to attack the two cities of Pei and Xiangfan, plus Mi Fang and others were in the city, so he did not leave the deputy general to guard Jingzhou.

I think the main reason is that Guan Yu is very suspicious, and there is also the result of his lack of broad-mindedness.

I feel that many people have a great prejudice against Guan Yu, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the official history are indistinguishable, Guan Yu has not passed five passes and six generals This is in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu did not insult Sun Quan, there is no tiger girl dog in the official history, this is in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu is arrogant, but he will not be stupid enough to do that, but the official history does refuse Sun Quan's proposal, if Guan Yu agrees, what do you let Liu Bei think, the second person in Shu and the monarch of Wu State are married, so it must be refused.

It is said that Wu attacked Jingzhou because of a bad relationship with Guan Yu, which is even more of a thing, the relationship between countries is the supremacy of interests, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests, Sun Quan is also a generation of British masters, it will not be so superficial, Sun Liu formed an alliance because of interests, and the alliance will break down because of interests.

Saying that Guan Yu's deputy is highly matched, I don't understand it very well, Dr. Mi Fang can also be regarded as a high match, these two people can only be regarded as veterans at best, and they can be placed in Wei Wu that is, they are nobodies, just come to Wei Yan or Zhao Yun Chen, the rear is also stable, and it will not surrender directly like Mi Fang, and the rear of Jingzhou will be lost, and the families of the front-line sergeants will be captured in the rear, which will directly lead to the disintegration of the army, the soldiers will flee, and Guan Yu will be defeated.

Don't say that there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, Mi Fang had to surrender, at that time, the main forces of Eastern Wu were attacking Hefei, otherwise Guan Yu would not only defend Dr. Mi Fang, otherwise Eastern Wu would not have attacked secretly, instead of attacking openly.
