Guan Yu lost Jingzhou details

There is a folk saying that Guan Yu was careless about Jingzhou. In fact, Guan Yu's defeat in Jingzhou is related to his carelessness, but it is not the word carelessness that can sum up the reasons for his defeat in Jingzhou. I think there are deeper reasons behind the superficial phenomenon of carelessness.

Jingzhou is the throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi. During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei crossed Jingyi State to seek the world, and Cao Cao and Sun Quan also wanted to eat this fat meat. As a result, Jingzhou has become a battleground for the three major families. It is precisely because Jingzhou is so important that Liu Bei and Guan Yu will guard Jingzhou together. In 2 19, he led an army to attack Cao, and won successively, reaching Fancheng, where he was deadlocked and was shot in the wild. But Guan Yu didn't want to quit Jingzhou, so he gave Sun Quan a chance. So Monroe, commander-in-chief of Wuda University, led 30,000 warships and 90 clippers. He chose foot soldiers who were familiar with water to pretend to be businessmen on the ship, and the elite did their best in the cabin, reaching the north bank of Xunyang River. When Jing Shou questioned him, he said he was a businessman. Because of the river wind, he came to this wall and distributed his finances to the defenders. In the middle of the night, the soldiers ambushing on the ship rushed out in vain, and the defenders of the beacon tower seized the cabin and made them unable to put down the letter. So Wu Jun marched straight into Jingzhou and asked the captured soldiers to call the gate. As soon as the city gate was opened, Wu Jun swarmed in and occupied Jiangling as easy as blowing off dust. Cao Cao quickly sent a grand prize, Huang Xu, to attack Guan Yu. Huang Xu spread the news of Jingzhou's fall everywhere, and Guan Jun's morale was in chaos, but Guan Yu didn't believe it. At this time, Cao Cao's reinforcements arrived, Coss killed Fancheng, and Guan Yu was cornered. He was chased by the armies of Wu and Wei and had to ask for help.

, trapped in Maicheng, and finally captured by Sun Quan in Zhang Xiang. This is the general story about Jingzhou's carelessness.

Guan Yu, a former hero, lost to Maicheng after losing Jingzhou, and was finally captured alive. In the whole process, Guan Yu's failure has its profound internal reasons. First of all, Guan Yu did not make a comprehensive and correct judgment on the objective actual situation. He is arrogant and supercilious, so he overestimates his strength and underestimates his enemy. There is no denying that Guan Yu is an excellent military commander. It is true that he has made numerous military exploits for Liu Bei, but it is precisely because he is invincible and condescending that his arrogance and supercilious mentality are becoming more and more serious. After surrounding Fan Cheng, he thought that Cao Jun was just a turtle in a jar, and defeating him was just around the corner. It can be seen.

How serious his pride is. Being shot by an arrow, the Ministry will advise him to go back to Jingzhou for rest temporarily, but he insists on his own way, thinking that Fancheng can be captured soon and Cao Cao can be eliminated by capturing Xu. For jun is not, and for Wu Jun, he looked down upon. He thinks that Lu Meng is an "old chess piece", scolds Lu Xun as an obedient child, and regards Jiangdong as a "group of rats". This shows how serious Guan Yu's thought of underestimating the enemy is. It was this thought of underestimating his enemy that made him completely lose his vigilance against Wu Jun. Because he understood Guan Yu's psychology, Lv Mengzheng dared to suggest to Sun Quan that he should occupy Jingzhou at one stroke when Guan Yu attacked Fancheng in the north. As Guan Yu became more and more proud, she was deceived by some superficial phenomena. For example, after Lu Xun succeeded Lu Meng, he sent people to Fancheng to see Guan Yu. Guan Yu saw that he came to the door on his own initiative, with many gifts, and the messenger's words were cruel and humble. Guan Yu laughed on his back, and his pride was beyond words. He thinks Wu Jun is afraid of him, so he has no worries at all. In fact, this is the trick of "kissing his ass", which makes him lose the ability to objectively judge right and wrong and comprehensively evaluate the situation. So it can be said that arrogance is the primary reason why Guan Yu is Jingzhou.

Secondly, Guan Yu is headstrong and won't listen to different opinions. Guan Yu captured Xiangyang, and his morale was greatly boosted. Guan Yu was ambitious and full of pride. However, Wang Fu, the commander of the army, keenly observed the emptiness of Jingzhou's defense, so he suggested that Guan Yu send effective people to guard it, but Guan Yu let Wang Fu go down the river to repair the beacon tower. If Wu Bing attacks, he will light a fire at night and emit smoke during the day. "I should be close to it." Wang Fu suggested sending Zhao Lei instead of Mi Fang and Governor Jingzhou, but Guan Yu still wouldn't listen. Listen to the opinions of all parties. Due to the limitation of subjective and objective conditions, a person's understanding is limited and it is inevitable that there will be deviations. Only by listening to opinions with an open mind and listening to opinions in an all-round way can we fully understand a person. Later, after Guan Yu and Pound fought, Guan Ping advised him not to fight, saying that even if he killed this man, he would only be a pawn. The implication was that Guan Yu was a handsome soldier and didn't have to take unnecessary risks, but Guan Yu said that I wouldn't kill this man, so how could I get revenge? Emotion completely replaced reason, and as a result, an unannounced visit the next day hit Guan Yu in the right arm. Later, if Guan Yu can listen to the advice of the headquarters and return to Jingzhou temporarily, Jingzhou may not fail. It can be seen that headstrong and opinionated is the second subjective reason why Guan Yu is Jingzhou.

Being too loyal to pedantry is also a big problem for Guan Yu. Release Cao Cao and Huang Hansheng. Guan Yu is loyal. He thinks that if he does this, others will do the same, which is too rigid. During the battle of Fancheng, he and Huang Xu were chasing after each other, but Huang Xu suddenly changed his face and ordered his men to reward the daughter with Guan Yu's head. Huang Xu said, now is a national event, I dare not spend money. This is a far cry from Guan Yu's performance on Huarong Road. It is true that a person's loyalty is not a bad thing, but it is pedantic to pay too much attention to loyalty and blur the distinction between right and wrong. Military and political struggles are extremely cruel. It is unwise to be loyal to the enemy in such a cruel military struggle.

In addition, Guan Yu did not attach importance to diplomacy. Wu "lent" Jingzhou to Shu, and Shu didn't want to return it. Moreover, Guan Yu's attitude towards Wu Dong has always been cold, even cold. From the lesson that Guan Yu is Jingzhou, we can see that setbacks on major issues are related to a person's one-sidedness in ideological understanding, and we can find out his ideological roots. Since ancient times, military strategists have warned people that pride goes before a fall. At this point, Guan Yu has been verified again. So I say Guan Yu is Jingzhou, not only because of carelessness, but also because of his own subjective reasons. We should remember this lesson and never be arrogant, arrogant or willful.
