Zhang Taiyan said that Guan Yu was killed by Zhuge Liang. Why did he say that? What is the truth?

Zhang Taiyan was a respected and famous scholar in the Republic of China and a teacher of Lu Xun. He has a deep study of China's history and philosophy. Zhang Taiyan made a shocking point in one of his books: he thought Guan Yu was killed by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period.

First of all, it must be explained that what Zhang Taiyan said is logical, and there is no historical evidence to prove it. His reason is that Guan Yu is a great hero of Shu Han, and he is the most powerful. When Liu Bei died, Liu Chan ascended the throne, and Zhuge Liang took power, Guan Yu could not be controlled. So Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Bei get rid of Guan Yu and killed Guan Yu in the name of Sun Quan's sneak attack on Jingzhou.

Zhang Taiyan's statement is an alternative subversive statement. Many people share Zhang Taiyan's view that this is Zhuge Liang's usurpation of power, because Zhuge Liang does have such behavior. Two people in Shu Han died because of Zhuge Liang, one was Liu Feng and the other was Li Yan.

Liu Feng is Liu Bei's adopted son. He was adopted by Liu Bei and has no biological son. Before Liu Chan was born, Liu Bei was 46 years old and had no son. Liu Feng was adopted only for preparation, but after Liu Bei had his own son, Liu Feng automatically lost his heir qualification. However, Liu Feng was defeated by Xia Houshang, Huang Xu and Mengda in Shang Yong and fled to Chengdu. Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Bei give Liu Feng a death, and Liu Bei agreed, so Liu Feng was appointed.

Li Yan is one of the candidates Liu Bei chose to be an orphan with Zhuge Liang. At that time, Li Yan was the official in charge of the military power, and Zhuge Liang was the prime minister, who was in power. Liu Bei chose two orphan ministers to balance each other and maintain the balance of power, which was beneficial to Liu Chan's pro-government, but in fact Li Yan didn't play a role and was far away from the political center. Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan are in Chengdu, while Li Yan stays in Yong 'an.

Anyone who knows history will know that the assistant minister who has never guarded the border will be excluded from the power center if he is far away from the political center and cannot be in power. However, it is not known why Li Yan stayed in Yong 'an, including that Li Yan framed Zhuge Liang for deliberately withdrawing troops on the grounds that there was no food during the fourth Northern Expedition, but Zhuge Liang took out all the correspondence between them and proved that Li Yan was lying on the spot. Li Yan is at least a capable person. How could he make such a low-level mistake? Therefore, Zhuge Liang is suspected of attacking political opponents.

But whether it is Liu Feng or Li Yan, this is inferred from logic, and there is no reason to prove that Zhuge Liang is arbitrary in cracking down on political enemies. In fact, Zhuge Liang's power comes from Liu Bei and Liu Chan, especially Liu Bei's authorization. So, is it reasonable to look back at Zhang Taiyan's statement?

At least I don't agree with Zhang Taiyan.

First of all, in the era of Liu Bei, all decisions came from Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang only has the right to suggest, but not to decide. Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Bei kill Liu Feng, which was well founded. Liu Feng is in an awkward position. He is Liu Bei's adopted son, the oldest, strong-willed and powerful, and often bullies others. Meng Da was bullied by Liu Feng and defected to Cao Wei. After Liu Bei's death, Liu Feng's position is second only to that in theory.

Second, Liu Feng's position may be used by others. Liu Feng, the son who lost his inheritance, is inevitably resentful. It would be a political disaster for Shu Han if there were rebel forces to set up another mountain for Liu Fengli. Zhuge Liang could only advise Liu Bei to remove this hidden danger, and Liu Bei also recognized Zhuge Liang's suggestion, so he gave Liu Feng a death.

Zhuge Liang wanted to kill Liu Feng, so he had to do it, so it was also Liu Bei's decision. Zhuge Liang had to make a decision if he wanted to kill Guan Yu. Does Bei agree to kill Guan Yu?

Judging from Liu Bei's character, it is impossible to harm Guan Yu.

Guan Yu and Liu Bei are as close as brothers, even Liu Ye, the counselor of Cao Wei, thinks so, while Guan Yu is loyal to Liu Bei all his life and would rather give up Cao Cao's high official? And following Liu Bei, how could Liu Bei harm Guan Yu? Besides, Liu Bei was kind all his life, and the assassin couldn't bear to kill Liu Bei. Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang took refuge in Sun Quan, Liu Bei didn't punish Mi Zhu at all, Huang Quan took refuge in Xelloss, and Liu Bei didn't punish the Huang Quan family who stayed in Yizhou.

Liu Bei is a true benevolence, not a false benevolence in TV series, nor a crying country in the romance of the Three Kingdoms. He relies on benevolence and righteousness and constantly recruits talents. How many celebrities did Cao Cao kill in his life, but Liu Bei didn't kill any? This is the difference. Liu Beilian ordinary man will not be punished, so how could he harm Guan Yu?

Judging from the consequences of hurting Guan Yu, Liu Bei cannot hurt Guan Yu either.

Even if Liu Bei wants to harm Guan Yu, as long as Guan Yu is transferred from Jingzhou with an order, others can take over Jingzhou, or take a trip to Jingzhou like Liu Bang, and then take the opportunity to send someone to take Guan Yu and take him to Jingzhou. Why borrow Sun Quan? You should know that Sun Quan's purpose was to sneak into Jingzhou. Not only did Guan Yu die, but Liu Bei also lost the land of three counties in Jingzhou, with a population of nearly one million and 50,000 Jingzhou.

Besides, Jingzhou is the place where Liu Bei made his fortune. Liu Bei came to Jingzhou from AD 20 1 and stayed in Jingzhou. 2 1 1 After entering Yizhou, Jingzhou has always been the rear of Liu Bei's entrepreneurial success. More than 90% of the middle and senior officials of Liu Bei's regime came from Jingzhou, which played an extremely important role in Liu Bei's regime and also assumed two strategies for Longzhong in the future.

Judging from the fact that Liu Bei later launched the Yiling War to retake Jingzhou at all costs, he could not harm Guan Yu. Otherwise, Liu Bei will be crazy. He killed Guan Yu first, and then launched a war to recapture it. We should know that Jingzhou's comprehensive strength can account for two-fifths of the total strength of Liu Bei's regime. Liu Bei can't afford to lose such a price, nor can he harm Guan Yu in the name of Sun Quan.

Because Liu Bei didn't want to harm Zhuge Liang, he was only the manager of Liu Bei's Hanzhong Palace. He didn't hurt Guan Yu's strength and strength. You should know that Guan Yu was second only to Liu Bei in the internal position of Shu Han at that time, and he was a pioneer veteran of Shu Han for many years. Liu Bei didn't want to, and Shu Han didn't have any ability to move Guan Yu, including Zhuge Liang.

As for the whole battle of Xiangfan, Liu Bei didn't save Guan Yu for a reason. The main reason is that the information is too late to save him.

In the early stage of the battle of Xiangfan, it was good news for Yizhou. What flooded the Seventh Army and had a great influence on China? Even the famous Cao Wei generals Yu Jin and Pound were defeated by Guan Yu, and 30,000 elite Cao Jun was captured. He sent a message from the front line of Xiangfan to Yizhou and was diagnosed again. The conservative time is one month. From the month when Sun Quan began to attack Jingzhou, Guan Yu's back road was first broken, and Lu Xun was sent to attack westward along the Yangtze River until he reached the border between Shu and Han.

Even though Liu Bei knew that Sun Quan had broken the posterior route, he wanted to save Guan Yu, but there was no way to save him. The communication between Jingzhou and Yizhou was cut off. Where can Liu Bei rescue Guan Yu? You can't fight like the war of Yiling later. You know, Liu Bei has been fighting Yiling from the border for half a year. Can this save Guan Yu? No, because Liu Bei can't find Guan Yu's position. Where is Guan Yu in such a big Jingzhou? At that time, there were no mobile phones and Beidou positioning systems. Where can Liu Bei find Guan Yu?

Besides, it takes time to start a war. Liu Bei can't send troops as soon as he receives the situation. He must think and discuss with his people. Otherwise, he will send troops blindly, not only failing to save Guan Yu, but also losing a lot of troops in vain. So Liu Bei couldn't save Guan Yu, which was caused by the situation at that time. First, the information lagged behind, and Liu Bei later could not know the accurate information of Guan Yu. Second, it's too late to save him. Soochow has cut off contact.
