In 200 AD, Cao Mengde invaded Xuzhou with a great army, which not only made Liu Bei unable to take refuge in Yuan Shao, but also captured Liu Bei's younger brother Guan Yu alive. At this point, Liu Bei 16 started their business, which ended in failure again. The life and death of the two brothers who are like brothers are unpredictable, and life is dark.
Cao Mengde, who admired Guan Yu for a long time, extended an olive branch to Guan Yu at this moment. He received supreme treatment in Cao Ying, and his food and clothing were all five-star standards. Cao Mengde had nothing to say to him, brainwashed him, worshipped him as a partial general, and lured him with wealth, power and beauty one after another, but nothing could make him surrender. He also solemnly told Cao Mengde: You respect me, appreciate me and treat me well. I am grateful and willing to help you as much as I can. But if I hear from my brother, I'm leaving. ?
In the same year, Cao Mengde and Yuan Shao arrayed themselves on both sides of the Yellow River to prepare for a big fight. Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang took the lead in winning the battle.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Cao Mengde panicked and quickly sent Zhang Liao to fight. Hearing this, Guan Yu thought it was time to repay Cao Mengde's kindness, so he volunteered and cut off Yan Liang's head. Guan Yu silently said to himself: Cao Mengde, I finally don't owe you! ? In July of the same year, Liu Bei was ordered by Yuan Shao to harass Henan, and someone reported to Cao Mengde. Yuan Shao sent a man with knee-high hands to fight guerrilla warfare in Henan. ?
When Guan Yu heard this, it was undoubtedly his eldest brother Liu Bei. So he immediately went back to pack his bags, returned all his Cao Mengde, and ran away overnight. Cao Mengde was disgusted, and even the generals around him said Guan Yu was an immature baiwenhang, begging to take him back and dismember him. But Cao Mengde held back. If Guan Yu surrenders to him, he will look down on him again. What he wants is this kind of loyalty to the liver and bravery, so that he can be rich, have the right to be beautiful and never be moved.
In essence, it is harmless for Cao Mengde to kill Guan Yu once and for all, but heroes cherish heroes. Cao Mengde loves Guan Yu, and Guan Yu sticks to his beliefs and morality, admires him and cannot bear to kill him.
Moreover, the beliefs held by Cao Mengde and Guan Yu are the same, so that after Guan Yu's death, Cao Mengde only thought that Guan Yu had not met a wise Lord like him. However, everything in the world is about fate. If they were not born in troubled times, they would surely become bosom friends and sing songs about wine.
