Judging from the life stories of many heroic figures in history, we will find a pattern. Anyone who has some abilities and achievements will inevitably have some arrogance after becoming famous. However, this is not the case. There are different degrees of arrogance. Although some people are arrogant, they are restrained, while some people are not only arrogant, but also extremely righteous, which makes it easy for them to commit suicide.
Guan Yu during the Three Kingdoms period was such a person. He was not only arrogant and arrogant, but also always liked to be righteous. Although doing so, in terms of heroism, we think it is still very commendable. It's worth mentioning, but from the perspective of their own future and the overall situation, such people often end badly, because a person's high profile will always cause trouble, it's just a matter of time.
In fact, Guan Yu's ending can be seen from many things in life. For example, Guan Yu looked down on Huang Zhong and Ma Chao among the Five Tiger Generals, and openly said that he wanted to compete with Ma Chao. Although this matter seems Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but upon closer inspection, Guan Yu's tragic ending appeared clearly on the page. The unruly Guan Yu
Among the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, Guan Yu's birth should be the worst. In addition, when he was young, he killed someone because of his youthful arrogance and became a fugitive. He ran around trying to escape. His life was very miserable. If he hadn't met Liu Bei and Zhang Fei later, it would be difficult for Guan Yu to have a wealthy life in his life.
Liu Bei is a descendant of King Jing of Hanzhong, that is, a descendant of Liu Bang. Although it is a long time ago, he can still use his status as a descendant of the royal family and "Uncle Liu" to fool ordinary people; and among the three , the best born is Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei was born in a prominent family. After several generations of hard work, after reaching Zhang Fei, it can be said that both power and wealth have been accumulated to a certain extent.
When the three of them became sworn friends, they relied on Liu Bei's "Uncle Liu Huang" sign and Zhang Fei's financial support. Guan Yu was mainly responsible for working hard. In other words, Liu Bei provided technical support and trademarks, and Zhang Fei provided technical support and trademarks. Providing funds, Guan Yu is the person who actually manages the front line.
After having such a positioning, the division of labor between the three of them in starting a business was relatively clear. Especially in the early stage, when they often encountered danger, it was Guan Yu who stepped forward. When Liu Bei went to Yuan Shao for the first time, When Wenjiu beheaded Hua Xiong, it was Guan Yu who went into battle. At that time, no one believed that Guan Yu could kill Hua Xiong, but Guan Yu did it quickly and gave the small gang of the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang a sigh of relief.
As the team of the three gradually expanded, Guan Yu's unruly character became more and more obvious. The most obvious one was his contempt for Huang Zhong and Ma Chao. When Huang Zhong became the Five Tiger General, At that time, Guan Yu said, "A real man will not associate with old men." This meant that Guan Yu looked down on Huang Zhong because he was so old before he achieved anything. In addition, Huang Zhong belonged to a foreign establishment, so Guan Yu looked down upon him even more.
At that time, some people still gave Guan Yu a high hat, saying that Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei were brothers, and Huang Zhong was a subordinate. How could a superior be on the same level as his subordinates? In this way, Guan Yu did not continue to find trouble with Huang Zhong. But not long after, Guan Yu got into trouble with Ma Chao again, saying that he wanted to compete with Ma Chao.
It turned out that this time I was persuaded by a letter from Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang said, "Although Ma Chao is powerful, he is only half as good as Zhang Fei. You cannot compare with Guan Erye." After Zhuge Liang's persuasion, Guan Yu finally returned to Jingzhou and continued to protect the country. Why did Guan Yu want to compete with Ma Chao, but never asked to compete with Zhao Yun?
In fact, there are two main reasons why Guan Yu wants to compete with Ma Chao. One is because when he faced Ma Chao, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao failed to defeat Ma Chao after several days and nights of fighting. Guan Yu requested to fight, but Liu Bei did not agree, so Guan Yu had no chance to appreciate Ma Chao's abilities.
Now Ma Chao has become Liu Bei's general. Although they are a family, Guan Yu still wants to compete and consolidate his status. Ma Chao cannot be allowed to think that he and Guan Yu are of the same ability level.
The second reason is because Guan Yu despises Ma Chao in his heart. Before Ma Chao took refuge with Liu Bei, he originally planned to take refuge with Zhang Lu, but Zhang Lu could not tolerate Ma Chao. Later, Ma Chao took refuge with Liu Bei, who was lacking in strength. .
Judging from this behavior, Ma Chao is not willing to take refuge in Liu Bei, but a delaying tactic. If Liu Bei has problems in the future, Ma Chao may not necessarily work for Liu Bei, or even betray Liu Bei.
As a brother of Liu Bei who has been with Liu Bei from the beginning, Guan Yu certainly looks down on people who join later and still have evil intentions, so Guan Yu wants to compete with Ma Chao, teach Ma Chao a lesson, and let him Understand some truth.
Then why doesn’t Guan Yu compete with Zhao Yun? In fact, the reason is relatively simple. First of all, Zhao Yun's combat effectiveness is not necessarily inferior to Guan Yu's, so if Guan Yu rashly competes with Zhao Yun, wouldn't he be asking for trouble if he loses?
The second thing is that Zhao Yun has always been just a bodyguard of Liu Bei, not a general, and has been following Liu Bei from the beginning. Guan Yu is relatively assured of him, so Guan Yu does not need to compete with Zhao Yun. No matter how high or low we are, we are all in this together, so why should we be so arrogant?
The last point is that Guan Yu and Zhao Yun and others have been together for a long time, and Zhao Yun is an upright person and has similar interests as Guan Yu, so the relationship between Guan Yu and Zhao Yun is still good. Since the relationship is good, it is even more impossible. There was a fight in the nest, so no matter how unruly Guan Yu was, he couldn't have to fight against his brothers, otherwise he wouldn't be Guan Yu. Conclusion
In fact, a person's destiny and life are often closely related to that person's character. People who are always high-profile and unruly will inevitably attract dissatisfaction from others when they walk in this society. And hatred, just like Guan Yu, in the end Guan Yu lost Jingzhou because of his carelessness. In fact, it was not really just carelessness, but because Guan Yu offended too many people and few people were willing to help him, which ultimately led to Guan Yu's defeat in Maicheng.
The outcome of many things has already been foreshadowed. The endings of high-profile people and low-key people are obviously different. When we are proud, we should calm ourselves more and let Keep a low profile to avoid incurring jealousy and hatred from others. Only in this way will your life be safer and happier!
