What did Cao Cao lament about Guan Yu's death?

Guan Yu was buried to dispel Liu Bei's doubts.

Sun Quan gave Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao (this is a unique trick), which made Liu Bei mistakenly think that killing Guan Yu was Cao Cao's idea and let Liu Bei attack Wei instead of Wu. Cao Cao buried Guan Yu and broke this trick!

Guanlin, which is famous at home and abroad for burying Guan Yu's head, even surpassed Luoyang City during the Han and Wei Dynasties. But in fact, Guan Lin came from Luoyang City of Han and Wei Dynasties, and Guan Yu's head was sent to Luoyang because Cao Cao of Han and Wei Dynasties was in Luoyang City. Triangular relationships often produce complex and subtle situations. In the middle of the world, Guan Yu's death has become a major event that shakes the tripartite confrontation pattern. Sun Quan and Cao Cao were single-minded. Sun Quan dug a pit, but Cao Cao didn't jump in, but let Sun Quan fall into the pit himself. He buried Guan Yu deeply and won valuable time for Cao Pi to succeed to the throne and make Luoyang his capital. There is a saying in Luoyang that Guan Yu's tomb is actually located elsewhere, and Guan Lin does not match the location of Guan Yu's tomb recorded in historical books. Guan Zhong of Nanguanzhuang in Luoyang, Han and Wei Dynasties is the real tomb. Compared with the magnificent Guanlin, Guanzhong is very shabby and desolate, which makes people sigh. Could this be the real tomb of Guan Yu? Sun Quan suggested that Cao Cao proclaimed himself emperor. An ancient city wall spans the northeast of Jincun Village, pingle town, Mengjin County. This is the most intact section of Luoyang city wall in Han and Wei Dynasties. From a distance, it is still magnificent, but when you look closer, a sense of vicissitudes arises spontaneously. Loess and exposed walls have been eroded by wind and rain for thousands of years, such as the dry and shrinking skin of the elderly; Above the city wall, weeds and thorns stretch into the sky. Decadence is connected with the rise and fall of Han and Wei cities. In the first year of Jian 'an (196), Xian Di, who was coerced to Chang 'an, fled back to Luoyang and found that "the palace burned out" and the officials "stood against the wall through thorns". Unable to survive, Cao Cao took Xu Du. Since then, in Luoyang, thorns have continued to grow wildly. "Luoyang solitary, palace burning. The walls are squatting and the thorns are towering. " This is Luoyang in the eyes of 19-year-old Cao Zhi. In the sixteenth year of Jian 'an, he followed Cao Cao's expedition to the west and Ma Chao passed by Luoyang, which was deeply shocked by the desolation of the old capital. It is not easy to rebuild such ruins. Under the engineering and technical conditions at that time, even if the world was unified, reconstruction was a major event that consumed national strength, not to mention the fact that the world was divided into three parts and there were endless wars. Cao Cao's determination to rebuild Luoyang must not be easily made. In the last few months of his life, he wandered around Luoyang and built Jianshi Hall, which should be a well-thought-out decision. One-third of the world cannot be changed, so it is an inevitable trend to replace Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. I'm old, and time is running out. The most important thing is to prepare for the successor to open a new dynasty, determine the capital of the new dynasty, and lay the foundation for unifying the world in the future. Both Xu Du and Ye are unsatisfactory, and there is no overwhelming view of the southeast and southwest, while Chang 'an and Luoyang have the energy to unite the people of the world. So is it Chang 'an or Luoyang? Luoyang was in ruins, but Chang 'an was hardly damaged. 2/KLOC-In May of 0/9, Cao Cao suffered the loss of Liu Bei in Hanzhong and decided to retreat to Chang 'an. In August, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, which greatly shocked China. He stayed in Chang 'an instead of going back to the East. In 10, he led the army to Luoyang. What was Cao Cao doing for five months? But Chang 'an, the capital at that time, was a bit of a corner. Probably for this reason, Cao Cao stayed in Chang 'an for four or five months, and then returned to the east with his army, and built Beizhouwei and Jianshi Temple in Luoyang. Cao Cao's every move in the past few months has been seen by smart people. Sun Quan is such a smart person. Shortly after Cao Cao arrived in Luoyang, Sun Quan "wrote to beg Guan Yu for help". The tone of Sun Quan's letter this time is very different. He surrendered to Cao Cao and "claimed his destiny", which means to support Cao Cao as emperor. Cao Cao took this letter and said to his opponent, "It is my son who wants to stay on the fire and commit iniquity!" " Some courtiers said that there was only one name left in the Eastern Han Dynasty, "One foot of soil and one person are not in the Han Dynasty, and the lucky period has been long." Now Sun Quan is "a distant vassal, and heaven and man should be in harmony", and Cao Cao should "fear heaven and know life" and stop being humble. But Cao Cao did not accept such a suggestion. He replied, "If my destiny is in my hands, I will become Zhou Wenwang." Sun Quan may be sincere in persuading Cao Cao to be emperor, but it must be hypocritical to submit to Cao Cao. His own goal is the throne of Emperor Wu Dong. At this time, he is "seeking Guan Yu's self-efficacy" and persuading him to move forward. The purpose is simple: to recapture Jingzhou. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Sun Quan, but did not return it after capturing Sichuan, which became an inextricable knot between Sun and Liu. Guan Yu's attack on Xiangyang provided Sun Quan with the best chance to capture Jingzhou. Guan Yu flooded the seventh army, and when the scenery was infinite, Lu Meng and Lu Xun behind him were quietly exerting their strength. Therefore, it is absolutely cheap to talk about "winning Guan Yu's self-efficacy". Sure enough, Huang Xu was defeated by Cao Cao here, and Lu Xun got his start there. Guan Yu was caught off guard and defeated Maicheng. He was captured and killed by Sun Quan. Sun Quan got Jingzhou as he wished, but Guan Yu in his hand became a "hot potato". The alliance between Sun and Liu formed since Battle of Red Cliffs is bound to turn against each other. Sun Quan's previous move to please Cao Cao was obviously to avoid being attacked on both sides. He surrendered to Cao Cao and advised him to be emperor, in order to lead the evil fire on Liu Bei's side to the Central Plains. Since "Guan Yu's self-efficacy" and since he was made a minister, Sun Quan sent Guan Yu's head as a trophy to Luoyang and gave it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao is a clever man. He always sets traps for others. How did he fall into Sun Quan's pit? He buried Guan Yu, but he stayed out of it and wanted to see the two families, Sun and Liu, who had teamed up against him in the past, but now they are fighting to the death. Because of this subtle triangular relationship, Guan Yu has two tombs: "pillow in Luoyang, body in Dangyang." Is the tomb closed in Guanzhuang? There are three or four villages in the ancient city of Han and Wei Dynasties, belonging to Yanshi. Although not a county, these villages have a sense of regional identity with each other. Guo Suiyong, a villager in Jincun, loves calligraphy. He is a Jinmeng person, but he led Yanshi people to hold "Calligraphy Exhibition of Ancient City of Han and Wei Dynasties" for many times. He is enthusiastic about cultural protection and is quite familiar with the old city. He accompanied us to visit Xiamen, Adou Tomb and Jinyong City. Wang Ge, a teacher from the Cultural Management Office of the Ancient City, once told us that Guanzhong in Guanzhuang, south of the city, is considered to be the real tomb of Guan Yu. We told this story to Guo Suiyong, who, regardless of his illness and mobility, wanted to accompany us to find it, which was touching. Under the guidance of Guo Suiyong, we "crossed the city" from the north of the old city, and not far from the south of the old city, we found Guanzhuang Guanzhong in Yanshidianzhuang Town. It is hard to believe that what is presented to us is a grave, obviously an abandoned brick kiln, but the soil outside is burned red. Inside, there is a big hole at the top, exposing the skylight. While wondering, an old man staggered in. The old man named Hao, 72 years old, grew up in Guanzhuang. "When I was a child, this tomb was only a few acres, and now it is only one tenth of the previous one." The old man said, "This is the only thing left in the collective to dig and burn bricks, and it is used as a kiln." According to the old man, 60 or 70 years ago, when bandits made an insurrection, villagers built stockades on it, preparing rolling stones for bandits. The whole village went up to protect themselves, which shows the scale of the original tomb. In the 1950s and 1960s, when Luoyang built tractor factories and mining factories, "this kiln pulls bricks from Luoyang every day." "When the old people talk, Guan's head is buried inside. When I was a child, many old people said that they had seen the coffin inside and hung it with a big chain. " Hao said that in the past, there were two large stone tablets in front of the tomb, both of which were more than ten feet high. There used to be a "Guan Ye Temple" in their village, where he went to primary school. "This temple is so big, there are temples before and after it. On the front wall of the temple, there are many stone tablets and pillars of the corridor, which I dare not hold. Other places only worship Guan Ye, and our backyard respects Guan Grandma. " About 40 years ago, Kannonji in Guanzhuang was destroyed. Now some old ladies have built small temples more than half a person high on the original site, and people often burn incense. The old man said that their village was called Guanzhuang, but it was not called Guan, which was named after Guan. There is a story circulating in the village: the north of the village is the Luohe River. In the past, people used to cross the Luohe River by ferry. Guanzhuang is near and the boat is idle, so some people pretend to be Guanzhuang. The ferryman asked, "What village?" "Guanzhuang's." "What's your last name?" "The surname is Guan." "Then pay for your surname Guan." There is no surname Guan in Guanzhuang, and it is imitation when you listen. On Guanzhuang Road, a group of villagers gave us more details. Pang Hei, a villager in his fifties, said that in the 1970s, Guanzhong was excavated and a large number of big stones and cinnabar were unearthed. It is twenty centimeters long, ten centimeters wide and three or four centimeters thick. It has a metal ring on it and its color is black. It certainly doesn't look like copper, because copper is green rust. The people in the archaeological team said it was iron, and the villagers thought it was gold, and it was Guan Yu's head. "It was borrowed from an iron plate in our house," said Pang Hei. The villagers also told a story: in the Ming Dynasty, there was a big eunuch in Guanzhuang. At that time, many people came to worship Guan Ye, and the eunuch family often received him. There's too much pressure. He said everywhere in North Korea that Guanlin's tomb was real and Guanzhuang's was fake. In this way, people are serious about gatekeeper Lin. Is Guanzhuang's tomb really closed? With questions, we consulted Mr. Xu Jinxing, the former director of the Cultural Management Institute of the Old City of Han and Wei Dynasties and a well-known scholar in Luoyang. Mr. Xu told us that he had not read Guan Yu's excavation report, nor had he heard that he had done excavation, so he could not judge whether Guan Yu's tomb was a real one. However, according to historical records, Guan Yu's head was buried in "five miles south of the city". Guan Lin was in the south of Sui and Tang Dynasties, and his position was wrong. "If Sun Quan really passed his head (in Luoyang), Cao Cao really buried Guan Yu's head, which should be buried in Guanzhuang." Whether Guan Yu's head is really buried in Guanzhong or not, it is definitely Cao Cao's cleverness to bury Guan Yu thick. Later, Liu Bei and Sun Quan confronted each other for many years. After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne smoothly, forcing Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate and make Luoyang his capital, which gave him the environment and time to rebuild Luoyang.
