What are the similarities between Guan Yu and Xiang Yu in character?

Guan Yu and Xiang Yu are both one of the most famous war generals in the history of China. Both of them are superb in martial arts, worthy of being outstanding, and have made brilliant achievements in their military careers. However, in terms of personality, there is almost no similarity between them. Xiang Yu is cruel and easy to kill, and Guan Yu is loyal and righteous; Xiang Yu is a kind woman, Guan Yu is a very strong figure, and there are few mother-in-law; Xiang Yu seldom listens to different opinions, but Guan Yu often thinks about it before making a decision.

If we want to find out the similarities between them, they may both be arrogant people who like to listen to flattery. Here are two short stories that happened to them:

In 2 14 AD, Ma Chao, the son of Xiliang's famous family, took refuge in Liu Bei and was honored as one of the generals of the Five Tigers, just like Guan Yu. Guan Yu, who was guarding Jingzhou, felt uncomfortable and wrote to Zhuge Liang, the military adviser, to compete with Ma Chao. Zhuge Liang read Guan Yu's mind and wrote back: "Ma Chao is a master of martial arts, but he is also a generation of Peng Yue. Maybe he can compete with Zhang Fei. " (Beard refers to Guan Yu). Guan Yu laughed when he heard this: "The strategist knows my heart", so he gave up the idea of fighting.

Xiang Yu once captured the city, angered the people in the city, and ordered to kill all the men over the age of 15 in the city. A 13-year-old boy in the city bravely stood up to meet Xiang Yu and said, "Your Majesty is the parents of the people, and I have come to see them. Will parents not allow their children to see their parents? " "People in the city have no choice but to rebel against the king, because they succumb to Peng Yue's arrogance. Now that Peng Yue has escaped, people will open the gate at once. Xiang Yu saw that the children had fine eyes and the flattery offered to the king was very beautiful and particularly pleasing, so he changed his mind and pardoned the people of the whole city.

This may be the only similarity between Xiang Yu and Guan Yu in character.
