After receiving the death of Guan Yu, Liu Bei's first reaction was to lead his troops back to Jingzhou to avenge Guan Yu. Zhang Fei also wants to go out with Liu Bei to avenge his second brother. However, Zhang Fei, who drowned his sorrows by drinking, was killed and beheaded by the foot soldiers for whipping them to vent their hatred.
When Liu Bei learned that Zhang Fei was killed, he just whispered four words: I know. Then continue to lead the army forward.
Later, Liu Bei was defeated in Yiling, and hundreds of thousands of elites were burned to death by Lu Xun. Liu Bei himself almost died in the fire. Fortunately, the guards tried their best to protect him before fleeing back to Baidicheng.
Zhuge Liang finally saw the true face of Liu Bei after learning the detailed process of the matter. It turns out that Liu Bei has been pretending, and the concept of brothers is not that heavy. He went out this time only to get Jingzhou back, not to get revenge.
Zhuge Liang's real disappointment is:
Although Liu Bei's series of behaviors did not make Zhuge Liang completely chilling, he still made Zhuge Liang feel disappointed with him. It was after Zhang Fei's death that this disappointment really turned into chilling.
Zhang Fei's death should start with Guan Yu's death. Guan Yu defended Jingzhou, but was attacked by Soochow, and finally lost his life. Shu lost the treasure of Jingzhou. Liu Bei was so angry when he learned the news that he even led an army to conquer Sun Quan himself. In everyone's opinion, Liu Bei kissed Wu Dong in order to avenge Guan Yu and attach importance to the brotherhood between him and Guan Yu.
But think about it, what if Guan Yu lost Jingzhou? Jingzhou is the base area that Liu Bei won after a long period of hard work, but when Guan Yu was stationed, he was captured by Wu Dong, and Liu Bei was bound to be unwilling. Coupled with the rigid relationship between Shu and Wu at that time, a legitimate reason was needed to tear up the Covenant and declare war. And Guan Yu's death is just an opportunity.
