Walking Maicheng refers to Guan Yu's plan to cross the river in white clothes by Lu Meng at that time, and all the counties and counties in Jingzhou, except for Maicheng, have been lost. Shu generals Mi Fang and Fu Shiren had surrendered to Eastern Wu Guan Yu and suffered heavy losses, and when they arrived in Maicheng, Guan Yu had only more than 300 people left. Moreover, there was no military ration in Maicheng City, which made matters worse.

At this time, Lu Meng decided that Guan Yu had few soldiers and would not escape from the main road. There is a small road directly north of Maicheng, and Guan Yu will escape from the small road. He ordered Zhu Ran to lead 5,000 elite soldiers and ambush them in the north of Maicheng, 20 miles north of Maicheng, and could only cover and kill Guan Yu in the back and not confront him head-on, Guan Yu must flee to Linfu (now Nanzhang, Hubei), and then ordered Pan Zhang to lead 500 elite soldiers and ambush in the remote mountain road of Linfang, so that Guan Yu could be captured.

"Guan Gong walks to the wheat city" means that Guan Gong walks the wheat city, which is the last resort, and death is on the verge of death. Later, people used this phrase to describe people who can succeed in everything, and there are times when the horse stumbles and fails. The metaphor is in a desperate situation, describing people who can succeed in everything also have times of failure.

Guan Yu defeated Maicheng allusion:

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), Jiangdong general Lü Meng took advantage of the confrontation between Guan Yu and Cao Ren, the defender of Fancheng, to attack Jingzhou and capture Guan Yu's base camp Jiangling. 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.

"Guan Gong Defeated Maicheng": After Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, he was a little arrogant and ready to attack Fancheng. At this time, Lu Xun ** was the governor of the capital, and he was afraid that Eastern Wu would take advantage of the situation to seize Jingzhou, so he threatened to make friends with Guan Yu.

But this was just Lu Xun's strategy, he knew that Guan Yu would definitely relax his guard if he looked down on the weak scholars. Sure enough, Guan Yu transferred all the defenders of Jingzhou to attack Fancheng, and as a result, Lü Meng occupied Jingzhou without a single soldier. As a result, Fancheng could not be attacked for a long time, Jingzhou was also lost, and Guan Yu had no choice but to defeat Maicheng.

After Guan Gong left Maicheng, the next sentence was a catastrophe.

The Battle of Maicheng Burning Cave is a battle during the Three Kingdoms period, which is described in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". At that time, Guan Yu laughed that he had already lost Jingzhou and suffered heavy losses. Only 300 people came to Maicheng, and Guan Yu asked Liu Bei, the eldest brother Liu Bei, who was far away in Xichuan, and Liu Feng, Meng Da, the righteous sons of Liu Bei who was in Shangyong, for help.

But Liu Bei was far away in Xichuan, and the rescuers could not arrive on time, and Liu Feng and Meng Da did not save them when they saw death. Guan Yu had no choice but to break through, but was ambushed by Wu generals Pan Zhang, Zhu Ran and others. Guan Yu was captured by Wu Guo, would rather die than give in, and was beheaded by Sun Quan, and the story of the Battle of Maicheng was later famous all over the world by the success or failure of Romance.

Reasons for failure

Guan Yu is a hero admired by everyone, he killed six generals after five passes, beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou, flooded the Seventh Army, captured Wei General Ban, killed Wei General Pang De, and shocked China. ended up with a tragic end of defeat and death in Maicheng, this is because Guan Yu is stubborn and arrogant. As a result, he fell for the strategy of Lu Meng and Lu Xun, lost Jingzhou, and lost his skin and killed Maicheng.

When he was in Maicheng, Guan Yu was already facing great danger, and said that even if there was an ambush, what was there to fear, arrogance, arrogance and arrogance would be defeated, and defeat would become inevitable. Although Yu cherished the soldiers, he looked down on the scholars and the like, causing Liu Feng and Meng Da to hold a grudge and not save them when they saw death. From this, Guan Yu's failure is not difficult to find.
