Guan Yu is the most famous general of the Three Kingdoms period, occupying an almost supreme position in Chinese beliefs when he is revered as a Martial Saint, Bodhisattva and God of Wealth. In addition to the legendary Xich Tho horse, his image is also closely associated with the Thanh Long Yen Nguyet knife.

Legend has it that Guan Yu's sword weighed 82 kilograms in ancient times, equivalent to about 49 kilograms today. Some anecdotes say that this sword followed Vo Thanh to fight everywhere, killing 1,780 people, equivalent to 1,780 drops of blood rain falling while forging the weapon. Even though he weighs nearly half a kilogram, Quan Vu can still lift the divine knife and even swing the knife gently.

In Chinese history, there are many famous figures associated with heavy weapons, for example, the famous general Tiet Nhan Quy of the Tang Dynasty used the Phuong Thien Hoa Halberd weighing hundreds of pounds, Lu Tri Tham used the The Sun Moon Staff also weighs 62 kg (equivalent to about 36 kg today),... This makes many people doubt the true weight of the Thanh Long Yen Nguyet Dao because they think that perhaps history is just trying to do it on purpose. deify famous generals by "exaggerating" about their weapons, emphasizing the majesty of the leading general.

However, after excavating Quan Vu's tomb and a series of ancient tombs, experts discovered a large amount of ancient weapons with weights ranging from a few pounds to 30 pounds. Basically, the heavier the weapon, the less people will use it. However, it also reflects the truth about the Thanh Long Yen Nguyet Dao. It may have been exaggerated a bit, but basically, the weapon weighing several dozen pounds is completely real.

Guan Yu (also known as Van Truong) was a famous general during the Three Kingdoms period. However, because of his arrogant and arrogant personality, Quan Vu brought disaster and killed himself.

According to the Qulishi website, during the period of building his reputation during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu not only caused friction with Sun Quan, but also showed his attitude towards Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and even refused Cao Cao's kindness.

This caused Chinese scholars to later conclude that all three forces, Shu Han, Dong Wu and Cao Wei, understood clearly that if Guan Yu did not die, the overall situation could not be peaceful.

Reject Cao Cao

Reluctantly surrendering to Cao Cao, Guan Yu was treated very warmly. Guan Yu was appointed "Marquis of Han Tho". This title was nominally conferred by Emperor Han Hien, but in reality it was due to Cao Cao's intention.

Quan Vu takes this title very seriously. Because in the eyes of a loyal military man, serving the Han, this is evidence that Quan Vu began to enter the ranks of Han Dynasty mandarins.

Later, Guan Yu insisted on returning to Liu Bei, even "going through 5 stages, killing 6 generals" of Cao. But if he had stayed with Cao Cao, his loyalist, Han-like ideology and arrogant, arrogant personality would have soon taken Guan Yu's life.

Tuan Uc's departure is the clearest proof of this, Chinese scholars analyze. Tuan Uc was Cao Cao's earliest strategist, second only in talent to Guo Jia.

During his lifetime, the strategist Tuan came from a family of "four generations, three generations" (four generations of high-ranking mandarins), and his status was much higher than that of Cao Cao. Therefore, when Tuan Uc joined him, Cao gained the support of the entire Tuan family, his power and status increased a lot.

Tuan Uc was dedicated, loyal, accomplished many achievements, and was highly respected and respected by Cao Cao. But later, Tuan Uc became more and more clear about his purpose of following Cao Cao to help the Han Dynasty. Meanwhile, Cao Cao just wanted to end a puppet court and declare himself emperor. This plan was sooner or later discovered by Tuan Uc.

From being a close advisor, Tuan Uc openly stood up to oppose Cao Cao. As a result, this talented strategist was given a cup of poisoned wine by Cao and left suddenly.

Dissatisfied with Liu Bei

Returning to Shu Han, Guan Yu should not have mentioned the position of "Han Tho court marquis" to avoid making Liu Bei unhappy.

But because of his arrogant and arrogant personality, Guan Yu still repeatedly claimed the title given to him by Cao Cao. Quan Vu considered this an honor, while Liu Bei may have thought that his brothers had fallen for Cao Cao's influence.

According to Chinese scholars, the discord between the two sworn brothers gradually reached its peak. If Liu Bei dies, Guan Yu is the best candidate to take power of Shu Han.

Meanwhile, if Liu Bei successfully defeated Cao, Quan Van Truong feared that the next person to go would be himself.

When taking over Tay Xuyen, Zhuge Liang, Fa Chinh and many others strongly advised Liu Bei to declare himself emperor. But Liu Bei refused, only wanting to be King of Han Trung.

This made Quan Vu extremely dissatisfied. Quan Van Truong said that that title was not approved by Emperor Han Hien, was not recognized, and was an act of treason.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms by La Quan Trung describes this incident in detail. When Phi Y brought Liu Bei's appointment decree to Kinh Chau, Guan Yu blatantly asked: "What title did the King of Han Trung give me?"

Guan Yu's attitude clearly showed dissatisfaction, completely different from when he was appointed "Marquis of Han Tho" by Cao Cao.

When he heard that he was promoted to the top position among the "five tiger generals", Quan Vu became even angrier and reluctantly accepted.

Phi Y told the whole situation to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. That was when Guan Yu became a "thorn" in Zhuge Liang's eyes.

If Guan Yu was allowed to enter Sichuan, it would be difficult to avoid friction, leading to fratricide. On the contrary, defending Kinh Chau, Quan Vu could offer the city to Cao Wei at any time.

Harsh words to Ton Quyen

Meanwhile, Ton Quyen in Dong Ngo "could not stand still", because Quan Vu, town of Kinh Chau, could attack Ngo at any time.

Ton Quyen then used a plan and sent a messenger to ask Quan Van Truong to marry his daughter to his son, expressing his desire to strengthen the Ngo-Thuc relationship.

But Quan Vu was arrogant, conceited and had no foresight, so he despised Ton Quyen. Quan Vu did not know that damaging the Shu-Wu relationship would also destroy the "Long Trung countermeasure" strategy proposed by Zhuge Liang.

Therefore, Quan Vu scolded the messenger, even intending to insult Ton Quyen when he said: "How can a tiger woman marry a dog?"

It can be said that Guan Yu made a mistake when he was bluntly aggressive with Ton Quyen, because in terms of position, Ton Quyen was on equal footing with Liu Bei.

When Ton Quyet heard the news, he was extremely angry. On the one hand, he patiently waited for the right time, and on the other hand, began to build a friendly relationship with Cao Wei.
