In October 219, Guan Yu was fighting with Cao Ren in full swing, but he was attacked from behind by Lu Meng.

It was also from this moment that Guan Yu began to retreat under the pincer attack from Cao Wei and Eastern Wu.

However, fate played a huge joke on Guan Yu. He was defeated in Maicheng and then died at the hands of Sun Quan.

As a vital general of Shu Han, and especially as Liu Bei's sworn brother, Guan Yu's personal safety was definitely the most important matter in Shu Han.

But what is surprising is that Guan Yu began to retreat in October and was killed by Sun Quan in December. During the more than two months in between, no one came to Guan Yu's aid.

Even his sworn brother Liu Bei did not send a single soldier, which is surprising and puzzling.

Although Chengdu and Jingzhou are relatively far apart, two months is enough for Liu Bei to calmly dispatch troops to support the defeated Guan Yu.
