Guan Yu was born in Changpingli, Jie County, Hedong Commandery, and was of Han nationality.

Guan Yu's original name was Changsheng, but later he changed it to Yunchang. In his early years, he fled his hometown to Zhuo County, Youzhou after killing someone for justice.

In the last years of the reign of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei organized a volunteer army in his hometown of Zhuo County and followed the captain Zou Jing to fight against the Yellow Turban Army. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei of Zhuo County joined Liu Bei's camp to participate in the war.

After the war, Liu Bei established the regular armed forces of his military group and defected to the Youzhou warlord Gongsun Zan.

Because of his repeated military achievements, Guan Yu was appointed as the Prime Minister of Pingyuan and became Liu Bei's main general. He and Zhang Fei were both appointed as Sima of other departments, commanding their own troops.

"Liu Bei slept in the same bed with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and treated them like brothers."

"If there were many people present, Guan Yu would stand beside Liu Bei and serve as his guard all day long, and would follow Liu Bei wherever he went, regardless of danger or hardship."

"In the first year of Xingping reign of Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei supported Tao Qian in fighting against Cao Cao. After Tao Qian died of illness, Liu Bei became the governor of Xuzhou."

"In the first year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the warlord Lu Bu attacked and occupied Xiapi. Liu Bei and others asked for peace with Lu Bu, so Guan Yu was arranged by Liu Bei to garrison Xiapi City."

"In the fourth year of Jian'an during the reign of Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei and Cao Cao jointly fought against Lu Bu in Xiapi and recaptured Xuzhou."

"Liu Bei was worried that Cao Cao would become suspicious, so he took the opportunity to defect when Cao Cao sent him and his generals Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao to intercept Yuan Shu."

"He attacked and killed Che Zhou, the governor of Xuzhou appointed by Cao Cao, and ordered Guan Yu to guard Xiapi and act as the governor, while Liu Bei returned to Xiaopei."

"In the fifth year of Jian'an during the reign of Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao led his army to the east and defeated Liu Bei, capturing Liu Bei's wife and children. Liu Bei fled to Yuan Shao's camp."

"Guan Yu was defeated and captured alive by Cao Cao. Cao Cao admired Guan Yu's character, but realized that Guan Yu had no intention of staying for long."

"So he sent General Zhang Liao to test Guan Yu's feelings, and Guan Yu said that he was well aware of Cao Cao's kindness and favor."

"But he is not willing to betray Liu Bei. He just wants to repay Cao Cao by making contributions in Cao Cao's camp."

"Zhang Liao conveyed Guan Yu's intentions to Cao Cao, who treated Guan Yu with great courtesy and appointed him as a general."

"In the same year, Yuan Shao sent his general Yan Liang and others to attack Liu Yan, the governor of Dongjun, at Bai Ma. Cao Cao personally led his army to rescue him and sent Zhang Liao and Guan Yu as the vanguard to attack Yan Liang."

"When Guan Yu saw Yan Liang's banner, he rode his horse into Yuan Shao's army and killed Yan Liang. He then cut off Yan Liang's head and brought it back to Cao's camp. Yuan Shao's army was unable to stop him along the way."

"So the siege of Bai Ma was lifted by Guan Yu, and Cao Cao therefore recommended Guan Yu as Marquis of Han Shou Ting."

"After that, Cao Cao knew that Guan Yu would definitely leave, so he rewarded Guan Yu generously."

"But when Guan Yu learned of Liu Bei's whereabouts, he sealed up all the rewards Cao Cao had bestowed upon him, wrote a letter of farewell, and rode alone a thousand miles to join Liu Bei."

"Cao Cao and his men wanted to hunt down Guan Yu, but Cao Cao thought that since they each served their own master, there was no need to do so."

"In the 12th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei to visit and subdue Zhuge Liang, and then followed Liu Bei to join Liu Biao and stationed troops in Xinye."

"Cao Cao personally led a large army to the south to attack Liu Biao of Jingzhou. After Liu Biao's death, Liu Cong, Liu Biao's second son who succeeded him as governor of Jingzhou, surrendered to Cao Cao."

"Liu Bei fled southwards from Xiangfan across the river, and sent Guan Yu on hundreds of ships to join him at Jiangling."

"Liu Bei was pursued by Cao Cao's army at Changbanpo in Dangyang. Guan Yu led a fleet to Hanjin and protected Liu Bei as he headed to Xiakou."

Li Shimin: In the same year, Cao Cao went south to attack Sun Quan. Liu Bei and Sun Quan joined forces to defeat Cao Cao at Chibi. Cao Cao fled north and left Cao Ren and others to defend Jingzhou.

After Liu Bei conquered the four counties in southern Jing and obtained Nanjun County given by Sun Quan, he recognized Guan Yu as a hero, conferred him the titles of prefect of Xiangyang and general of bandit suppression, and ordered him to lead his troops to garrison in the north of the Yangtze River.

During this period, Guan Yu rebuilt the city of Jiangling. At the same time, he had friction with Lu Su, the border defender of Eastern Wu. Lu Su used kind words to smooth over the conflicts many times.

In the 18th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang left Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou, and led the army up the river with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to capture Badong.

In the summer of the 19th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei captured Luo City. After besieging Chengdu for dozens of days, Liu Zhang came out of the city and surrendered.

As a result, Liu Bei occupied Yizhou and served as the governor of Yizhou. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhuge Liang and others were all valued. Guan Yu was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou, in charge of Jingzhou under Liu Bei's jurisdiction.

Among them were four counties in the south of Jingzhou, Jiangling, and Nanjun borrowed from Eastern Wu. He was sent to guard the five counties of Jingzhou.

The following year, when Sun Quan learned that Liu Bei had captured Yizhou, he sent an envoy to ask for Jingzhou back as agreed before.

However, Liu Bei wanted to seize Liangzhou before returning Jingzhou. When Sun Quan learned about this, he set up officials in Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang counties.

But they were all driven away by Guan Yu. Later, Sun Quan sent General Lu Meng to attack and seize the three counties of Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang.

Liu Bei led 50,000 troops to Gong'an, while Guan Yu led his troops into Yiyang to fight the enemy. Later, Liu Bei heard that Cao Cao had captured Hanzhong, so he made peace with Sun Quan and divided Jingzhou, Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang to Soochow.

At that time, Lu Su, a Wu general stationed in Yiyang, wanted to meet with Guan Yu. However, his generals were afraid that things might change and advised Lu Su not to go.

However, Lu Su decided to go there on the grounds that the issue between Sun and Liu was unresolved, so he invited Guan Yu to meet him and suggested that both sides station their troops at a distance of more than 100 steps, and that each general meet with a single sword.

During the meeting, Lu Su reprimanded Guan Yu for not returning the three counties, but Guan Yu declined on the grounds that Liu Bei had made great contributions in the Battle of Wulin.

But Lu Su believed that Liu Bei was weak and had to rely on Sun Wu at the time, and Sun Quan took pity on Liu Bei, who had no fixed place to live, and temporarily lent him Jingzhou to provide him with relief and refuge.

Liu Bei has now obtained Western Sichuan and Yizhou, but he has not returned Jingzhou and wants to annex it. This is not the behavior of a local lord. Guan Yu heard Lu Su's explanation and could not respond.

When Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, Guan Yu thought that Ma Chao was not his old friend, so he wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang asking who could compare with Ma Chao's talent.

Zhuge Liang knew that Guan Yu was competitive, so he told Guan Yu that Ma Chao was both civil and military, and very heroic.

But he is just a hero who can be compared with Zhang Fei, and can only be regarded as someone like Ying Bu and Peng Yue, but not as outstanding as you, Guan Yu, the Bearded Man.

"When Guan Yu saw Zhuge Liang praised him as the man with beautiful beard, he was very happy and showed the letter to his subordinates."

"While Guan Yu was stationed in Jingzhou, he was shot in the arm by an arrow during a battle. Although the wound healed."

"But every time it rains, my bones still ache. After diagnosis, the doctor said that the arrow was poisonous and the poison was in my bones."

"As long as you cut open your arm, open the wound, and expel the toxins from the bones, the disease will be cured."

"So Guan Yu stretched out his arm and ordered the doctor to cut it off. At that time, Guan Yu was sitting with his fellow soldiers drinking. Blood flowed from his arm, overflowing the plates and utensils. However, Guan Yu took the strong liquor himself and chatted and laughed happily."

"In the 24th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei led his generals to Hanzhong and sent Huang Zhong to kill Xiahou Yuan at Dingjun Mountain. He then defeated Cao Cao who led his troops to attack Hanzhong."

"In July of the same year, Guan Yu, Ma Chao and other subordinates submitted a petition to Emperor Xian of Han to confer the title of King of Hanzhong on Liu Bei."

"So Liu Bei appointed Guan Yu as the general of the front and granted him the imperial seal, Ma Chao as the general of the left and granted him the imperial seal, Zhang Fei as the general of the right and granted him the imperial seal, Huang Zhong as the general of the rear, and Wei Yan as the general supervising Hanzhong and the governor of Hanzhong."

"In the same year, Guan Yu led his troops to attack Cao Ren in Xiangfan, and Cao Cao sent Yu Jin to assist Cao Ren."

"In the autumn, it rained heavily for more than ten days, causing the Han River to surge. Guan Yu ordered his men to dig the river bank and flood Yu Jin's army with water, and Yu Jin surrendered."

"Guan Yu attacked Pang De's army by boat. Most of Pang De's troops surrendered to Guan Yu. Pang De was outnumbered and was killed." "In October of the same year, Sun Lang and other people from Luhun surrendered to Guan Yu because they were suffering from corvée labor. Liang, Jia and other bandits accepted Guan Yu's flag and seal from afar and became his subordinates."

"In the 24th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao learned that Guan Yu's power had expanded, and discussed with his subordinates about moving the capital to Xudu to avoid Guan Yu."

"Sima Yi and Jiang Ji believed that Sun Quan did not want to see Guan Yu succeed, so they suggested that Cao Cao send someone to persuade Sun Quan to restrain Guan Yu's rear, and promised to grant the Jiangnan area to Sun Quan, and the siege of Fancheng would be lifted automatically. This suggestion was approved by Cao Cao."

"Before this, in order to test Guan Yu's attitude, Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin to Jingzhou to persuade Guan Yu to marry Sun Quan and marry his daughter to Sun Quan's son."

"But Guan Yu refused the marriage proposal on the grounds that a tiger girl could not marry a dog boy. He also insulted Zhuge Jin and drove him out of the military camp. When Sun Quan learned about this, he agreed to join forces with Cao Cao to deal with Guan Yu."

"In the same year, Guan Yu went north to attack Xiangyang and won the first battle with Cao's army in Fancheng."

"But Mi Fang, the governor of Nanjun stationed in Jiangling, and Shi Ren, the general stationed in Gong'an, were disloyal and thought Guan Yu was arrogant and looked down on them."

"They didn't do their best to provide military supplies for Guan Yu's army, and Guan Yu said he would punish them when he returned, so they felt uneasy."

"Soochow's Sun Quan took the opportunity to secretly send people to induce Mi Fang and Fu Shiren to surrender. At this time, Cao Cao sent Xu Huang to rescue Cao Ren. Guan Yu could not conquer the enemy for a while, so he led his troops to retreat."

"After Guan Yu returned, he found that Sun Quan had occupied Jiangling and his men and wives were captured by Sun Quan, so Guan Yu's soldiers fled in all directions."

"Afterwards, Sun Quan sent Pan Zhang to pursue Guan Yu, and he killed Guan Yu and his eldest son Guan Ping in Linju."

"Sun Quan sent Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao in Luoyang, who buried him with the rites of a duke."

"After Liu Shan ascended the throne, he posthumously named Guan Yu as Zhuangmiao Hou in September of the third year of Jingyao in Shu Han, and his second son Guan Xing inherited his title."

"In the sixth year of Jingyao, Pang Hui, the son of Pang De, followed Zhong Hui to attack Shu."

"After the fall of Shu Han, Pang Hui killed Guan Yu's entire family."

Li Longji: Guan Yu set out from Xuchang with his two sisters-in-law and headed straight for Hebei.

The first pass was Dongling Pass. The guard was Kong Xiu, who was a very stubborn man.

When Guan Yu arrived at the pass, Kong Xiu refused to let him pass because he saw that Guan Yu did not have the pass given by Cao Cao.

What kind of temper does Guan Yu have? Can we let him be? He glared and rushed over on horseback, swinging his sword loudly.

Just like that, before Kong Xiu could react, Guan Yu chopped him down off his horse and he died instantly.

As for Guan Yu, he passed Dongling Pass smoothly without even raising his eyelids.

Do you think Guan Yu is amazing? If we were ordinary people, we would be so scared that our legs would be weak and we couldn't walk if we encountered this.

But Guan Yu was not vague at all. He took action as soon as he said he would. This was his ability.

After passing Dongling Pass, Guan Yu continued walking forward and arrived in Luoyang.

Han Fu, the governor of Luoyang, and Meng Tan, the general, were both extremely evil men. They planned to kill Guan Yu.

They collected a lot of deer antlers in front of the pass and waited for Guan Yu to come.

As soon as Guan Yu arrived, they opened the city gate and shot arrows at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu hurriedly retreated, and Meng Tan saw an opportunity and rushed over on horseback.

Guan Yu seized the opportunity, raised his sword and chopped Meng Tan into two pieces.

Han Fu became anxious when he saw this, and secretly shot an arrow, hitting Guan Yu's left arm.

But who is Guan Yu? What is this little injury to him? Gritting his teeth, enduring the pain, he rode his horse towards Han Fu, and with another blow, Han Fu was also finished.

In this way, Guan Yu passed Luoyang despite his injuries.

The journey was truly thrilling, and Guan Yu relied on his bravery and skills to avoid danger time and time again, which really made people admire him.

Guan Yu left Luoyang and continued to head towards Hebei, and soon arrived at Sishui Pass.

When Bian Xi, the defender of Sishui Pass, heard that Guan Yu was coming, he started to have evil ideas in his mind.

He secretly ambushed many people in Zhenguo Temple, waiting for Guan Yu to arrive and take care of him.

After Guan Yu arrived, Bian Xi pretended to entertain him and tricked Guan Yu into the temple.

Fortunately, there was a monk named Pu Jing in the temple, who was Guan Yu’s fellow villager. He secretly winked at Guan Yu, suggesting that Guan Yu was in danger.

Guan Yu was so smart that he understood it immediately.

At this time, Guan Yu asked Bian Xi if he had a passing diploma, and Bian Xi said that it had been destroyed.

When Guan Yu heard this, he became furious. He picked up his knife and started hacking at Bian Xi, killing him.

Guan Yu then passed through Sishui Pass again. You said that Guan Yu had to be careful all the time along the way. If he was a little careless, he might be plotted against by these people.

After passing Sishui Pass, Guan Yu arrived in Xingyang.

Wang Zhi, the prefect of Xingyang, was a relative of Han Fu, who was killed by Guan Yu before. He was determined to avenge Han Fu.

He secretly sent a man named Hu Ban to set fire to Guan Yu's residence, hoping to burn Guan Yu to death.

But Hu Ban was also a man with good vision. He had heard of Guan Yu's name a long time ago and admired him very much.

After meeting Guan Yu, Hu Ban thought Guan Yu was a good person, so he told Guan Yu about Wang Zhi's plan to set fire.

When Guan Yu heard this, he was so angry that he took advantage of the darkness and ran away with his two sisters-in-law.

When Wang Zhi heard that Guan Yu had escaped, he took his men to chase him.

When Guan Yu looked back, he became furious and rushed over to slash at Wang Zhi with his sword. Wang Zhi fell down.

Guan Yu successfully escaped again and continued to move towards Hebei.

Along the way, Guan Yu relied on his wisdom and bravery to overcome difficulties time and time again, which made people's blood boil.

Liu Bei must have thought carefully before leaving Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou. At least many of the decisions he made before entering Sichuan were correct.

As for what happened after he entered Sichuan, to be honest, Liu Bei was indeed a little bit arrogant.

Especially when Liu Bei captured Hanzhong County and nominally defeated Cao Cao, he celebrated wildly along the way back to Chengdu from Hanzhong, and was so elated that he forgot everything else. (End of this chapter)
