Why didn t Guan Yu follow Cao Cao s beard and robe?

There is no doubt that if Guan Yu followed Cao Cao's beard and robe-cut when he was defeated, he could have escaped.

There is no reason for "cutting the beard and breaking the robe".

When Guan Yu went out of the Northern Expedition, he was once fierce and shocked the Central Plains.

During the Northern Expedition, Guan Yu's Jingzhou Army was strong, and the Northern Expedition was victorious, and Cao Ren, who was stationed in Xiangfan, was almost unable to hold on, and constantly asked Cao Cao to transfer troops for support.

Cao Cao sent Yu Ban and Pang Tong to lead a large army to support Cao Ren, but Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and wiped out the entire army.

Under Guan Yu's constant attacks, Cao Cao began to consider moving the capital. This is also the time when Liu Bei Group is closest to recovering the Central Plains and returning to the old capital.

As the coach of the Northern Expedition, Guan Yu was also full of confidence, and he didn't think about failure at all.

When Cao Cao sent another large army to support Cao Ren and began to counterattack, Guan Yu learned that Jingzhou, the old nest in the rear, had been attacked by Eastern Wu.

Guan Yu, who was still in his prime, did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all, and Dongwu Ameng and Guan Yu have always looked down on it.

At this time, Guan Yu was not thinking about quickly finding a way to retreat and escape, but to kill back and take back Jingzhou.

This is also the main reason why Guan Yu did not "cut his beard and robe" and ran away at the beginning.

Cutting the beard and cutting off the robe" to no avail.

When Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, he gradually found that there were not many troops around him, and he began to realize the seriousness of the problem.

At this time, Cao Cao's army was in hot pursuit in the north, and the army of Eastern Wu Ameng was flanking and encircling in the south, and Liu Feng in the direction of Yong in the west did not send troops to support.

There weren't many people around Guan Yu anymore, and the long march from Xiangfan to Maicheng had already been exhausted.

At this time, Guan Yu thought that what he should do was to escape, and it was impossible to recapture Jingzhou in the short term.

However, at this time, it was already too late, and the new force of Dongwu Ameng was in hot pursuit, Guan Yu was no longer able to ask for it, and it was useless to cut his beard and robe.

It will not "cut off the beard and robe".

Guan Yu attaches great importance to love and righteousness, attaches great importance to honor, and in his eyes, he looks down on people who run away the most.

For Guan Yu, he would rather die in battle than "cut his beard and robe" and flee for his life in embarrassment.

If you really want to run for your life, you will run away when you are defeated at the beginning, why wait until this time to "cut your beard and robe"? The "beautiful bearded man" who can be praised by his military advisor! How could you do something about running away?

Epilogue. Guan Yu was too smooth in the early stage, so he didn't plan to "cut his beard and robe" at first, and when it really came time to "cut his beard and break his robe", it was too late and to no avail.

Coupled with Guan Yu's character, he will not do things like "cutting his beard and robe" and "holding his head and running away".

It's a pity that Guan Yu, the first generation of fame ended up carelessly losing Jingzhou;

took pity on Guan Yu, and finally died at the hands of Dongwu Ameng, whom he despised the most.

Guan Yu's character is very arrogant. Regarding the fact that he looked down on Sun Quan in the first place, he naturally would not run away like Cao Cao, this is a problem with Guan Yu's character.

Because Guan Yu is angry, Guan Yu has always been known for his righteousness, and he will not leave the soldiers and run away alone like Cao Cao.

Because Guan Yu's characteristics are too obvious. He is more than eight feet tall, with phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, a face like a heavy jujube, and a green dragon glaive knife in his hand, which is difficult to hide people's eyes.
