The biography of the reflection of Wei Zhi Lu Bu said, "There was a good horse named Red Rabbit".
The description of The Romance of The Three Kingdoms is even clearer.
Red hare is a BMW pony brought by Dong Zhuo from Xiliang. In order to win over the young general Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo gave him the horse. Lu Bu killed the original owner Ding Yuan, went to Dong Zhuo's door and became his adopted son. Later, the horse followed Lu Bu and showed great power. But in the White Gate Tower, because of Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao brutally killed Lu Bu, and the Red Rabbit BMW also went to Cao Cao. Perhaps by coincidence, Guan Yu temporarily took refuge in Cao Cao to protect Liu Bei's two wives. Cao Cao cherishes Guan Yu very much. I also want to imitate Dong Zhuo's BMW for Heroes. But Guan Yu is not Lu Bu after all. He accepted the red rabbit in order to find Liu Bei faster. Since then, Red Rabbit Horse and Dragon Crescent Moon Knife have become the representative images of Guan Yu. Guan Yu defeated Maicheng and was killed by Wu Dong. The red hare was returned to Ma Zhong. But this time it no longer obediently followed the new owner, starved to death, and followed the old owner Guan Yu.
However, according to historical records, the red rabbit disappeared after Lu Bu's defeat. Did not become Guan Yu's mount.
Therefore, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has fictional elements. Folk and pass, red rabbit passed down from generation to generation. Fang La bought it heavily in the Song Dynasty. When the water margin was conquered, Guan Sheng took it away. Perhaps because of this, Luo Guanzhong was misinformed when collecting information among the people.
