It is said that Guan Yu flooded seven armies to kill Pound, escaped from the forbidden earthquake, and breached Fancheng just around the corner. The news soon reached Luoyang Palace at that time, and Cao Cao was frightened when he heard it. He called his ministers to discuss moving the capital to avoid Guan Yu's soldiers. Sima Yi left the class and said, "I have a plan to solve Fan Cheng. The Prime Minister can send an eloquent man to send Sun Quan to Jingzhou, and then Guan Yu will definitely come back to save him, so that the siege of Fancheng can be solved. "
As Sima Yi expected, Sun Quan boldly used Lu Xun, an unknown scholar, who bribed Guan Yu's soldiers in charge of the beacon tower with money so that he wouldn't light the beacon tower in an emergency, which made Liu Bei unable to rescue Jingzhou in time. So he ordered Wu Bing to take advantage of the fog in the river, dress up as a businessman and cross the river in white to attack Jingzhou. Knowing the enemy's situation, Guan Yu hurried back to save him, but was caught by Wu Bing when he was walking in Maicheng at night.
The captured Guan Yu was escorted to Dangyang, Hubei Province, where Sun Quan Palace is located. Sun Quan was overjoyed, and ordered people to put wine to appease Guan Yu and persuade him to put it under his own account. Guan Yu cursed Sun Quan and refused to surrender. Sun Quan was furious and cut off Guan Yu's head. When Sun Quan calmed down and thought about whether Liu Bei could let go, Sun Quan looked sad.
Counselor Zhang Zhao said to Sun Quan, "If your master kills Guan Yu today, Liu Bei will definitely find fault. I have my own solution." Seeing that Sun Quan was listening attentively, Zhang Zhao continued, "Your master can send someone to give Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao at once, and Liu Bei will take revenge on Cao Cao when he knows it." Then the master must bury Guan Yu in Dangyang according to the ceremony of the princes to show his kindness. According to the plan, Sun Quan buried Guan Yu's body in the best place of Dangyang Feng Shui. Of course, there are many funerary objects.
It is said that Cao Cao had mixed feelings when he saw Guan Yu's head. I am glad that Sun Quan got rid of an opponent for himself, but I am worried that Guan Yu's head is a hot potato. In fact, I saw the "tricky" from Guan Yu's head as Cao Cao. This is Sun Zhongmou's "framing others". Cao Cao buried Guan Yu to show his innocence, so Guan Yu I's reputation was beheaded. So that the locals said: Guan Yu's head is in Luoyang, his body is in the hot sun, and his soul is in Shanxi.
This is the origin of Guan Yu's two tombs. We all know that ancient grave robbers were crazy, and everything buried with them from the emperor to the common people was doomed. But both the tomb of Guan Yu Wuhou in Dangyang, Hubei Province and the tomb of Guan Yu Zhonglie in Luoyang are well preserved. It is said that these two tombs were built in a hurry, and there are no secret passages in them, which is beneficial to grave robbers, but why has no one dared to steal Guan Yu's tomb since ancient times?
Are there few funerary objects? Emperors of past dynasties sealed Guan Yu's mausoleum and sent many funerary objects. It is said that there is a woman in Guan Yu's two tombs. Some people speculate that these two women should have married Guan Yu in Ghost. Legend has it that the woman in Dangyang tomb in Hubei Province is the story of Diesim, but the woman in Luoyang tomb has not been verified. Guan Yu's reputation resounded through Kyushu, and emperors of past dynasties rewarded him greatly, so there should be many funerary objects.
Guan Yu's status is very high, and even after his death, he was sought after as a god. Eight emperors of the Qing Dynasty *** 13 sealed Guan Yu, and the longest title reached 26 words: "Loyal to SHEN WOO, concerned about the country and the people, sincerely appeased, praised Xuande and Guan Sheng the Great". The myth of Guan Yu reached its peak at this time, and even compared him with Confucius. These are official activities. The folk underworld worships Guan Yu very much, and it is stipulated that Guan Yu must worship when he joins the league. Some places even regard Guan Yu as Wu Caishen.
There are rules and regulations, and there is also a grave robbery culture. These thieves worship Guan Yu to make money for themselves. No one dares to steal Guandi's tomb. In addition, what is the saying about stealing the tomb of the god of wealth? This is probably the main reason why Guan Yu's mausoleum has not been stolen so far.
