In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when Zhuge Liang was on his southern expedition, Guan Suo joined the army and made many military exploits.
But historically, the existence of this Guansuo is very subtle.
Anyway, there is no record in the official history that Guan Yu had a third son named Guan Suo, but the folklore is ridiculous.
But it's outrageous. Guansuo's popularity is quite good. He is probably one of the early harem kings.
This matter is not a big deal in the first place. There is no historical evidence. It is probably just a folk legend that has nothing to do with history and is just something that people can talk about after dinner.
But there is a very subtle point. According to folklore, the tomb of Guan Suo's first wife Bao Sanniang was unearthed, and it was in Yizhou.
Although the epitaph on Bao Sanniang's tomb cannot be confirmed for the time being due to its age and some factors of the times, according to local people, someone did come to confirm the epitaph when it was first unearthed. The epitaph says The story is clearly about the life of Bao Sanniang, Guan Suo's wife.
Okay, this is a problem for Bao Sanniang. It’s really hard to say whether there is such a problem.
Originally, this was just a mystery, and Zhang Xi hadn't thought about it that much. But now, just when he was about to march south, this question still appeared.
So. Can anyone tell me what is going on? !
Then Zhang Xi met "Guan Suo".
As for this "Guan Suo", Zhang Xi had to admit that "he" was indeed a child of Guan Junhou's family.
Moreover, this "Guan Suo" did not come alone. He was accompanied by a follower whom Zhang Xi was very familiar with.
But the problem is
"What on earth are you doing?!!!"
After shooing away the other people in the big tent, Zhang Xi roared at his disciple and asked.
Deng Ai suddenly shrunk his neck and stood aside without daring to move.
It's rare to see Master getting angry. So he said, this is not a good idea.
But "Guan Suo" beside Deng Ai cupped his fists and raised his hands, saluted Zhang Xi and said, "Master, this is not my husband's fault, but my concubine's intention."
"So you are still reasonable?!" Zhang Xi turned around, scolded "Guan Suo" and said, "A man in an important position and a lady from Jingzhou came to Yizhou to join the army. What do you want to do? !”
Anyway, according to the rules of this era, both of them are their juniors, so Zhang Xi has no worries at all when he rants.
The so-called "Guan Suo" is actually Guan Yinping.
Guan Yinping was very unhappy with what Zhang Xi said about her. After all, she was not familiar with Zhang Xi, but she was very familiar with Sun Shangxiang. Subconsciously, Zhang Xi was just the husband of her best friend.
But there is no other way. Now that she is married to Deng Ai, Zhang Xi is still her husband's master.
Deng Ai had no choice but to feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle. He quickly comforted his wife, then took Zhang Xi to the corner and whispered the reasons why they came here.
There is actually Zhang Xi's factor in this.
Zhang Xi went to Hanzhong and suddenly became the governor of the surrender and did not return to Jingzhou. Sun Shangxiang did not want to worry about Jingzhou and went to Yizhou to find Zhang Xi. In Jiangling City, Deng Ai was suddenly alone.
Nothing else matters, but should there be an explanation for the marriage between Deng Ai and Guan Yinping? !
Originally, Deng Ai did not need to go through Zhang Xi to get married. After all, Zhang Xi was just his master.
It’s not like Deng Ai has no elders, Mrs. Deng is still alive and well.
Therefore, what Guan Yu meant was to ask Mrs. Deng if she had arranged her child's wedding first.
But Mrs. Deng knows etiquette and is grateful. She feels that Zhang Xi is a new favor to Deng Ai. When Deng Ai gets married, she has to let Zhang Xi know about it, right? !
But the problem is also very realistic. When Zhang Xi goes to Yizhou, he will become some kind of governor-general. He probably won't be able to return to Jingzhou in three to five years. The two young ones can't keep delaying getting married, right? !
Therefore, Mrs. Deng suggested that the two juniors can get married first, but after they get married, they must go to Yizhou to meet Zhang Xi and serve tea in person to gain approval. Then Mrs. Deng will officially recognize it.
The second master felt very unhappy, but the man's request was reasonable, which showed that the Deng family was not the kind of ungrateful people, and the second master still appreciated it.
In addition, the second master could not regret the marriage, and his daughter had no choice but to agree, so he agreed.
So, in fact, Deng Ai and Guan Yinping got married in Jiangling in August. One month after the two got married, at the urging of Mrs. Deng, Deng Aicai took his newlywed wife on the road and went to Sichuan to meet the master. go.
Of course, it’s not just about meeting the Master.
Since he was about to enter Sichuan, Guan Yu simply asked Deng Ai and Guan Yinping to bring gifts, and stop by to visit his third uncle Zhang Fei along the way, as well as visit his uncle in Chengdu.
As for Deng Ai's position in Jiangling City, Guan Yu revoked it.
Originally, Deng Ai was leading the mining camp. In order to increase reinforcements, Guan Yu temporarily gave Deng Ai the position of captain to lead troops. Now, since he is going to Yizhou, he simply removed the position of captain. Just arrange for someone else to manage the miner camp.
Therefore, Deng Ai is not considered absent from his post, but is busy.
As for why it suddenly became "Guansuo", that's because, when visiting Zhang Fei in Brazil County, Guan Yinping learned that Zhang Xi was leading the southern expedition. Now he was almost arriving in Jiangyang, and the two of them rushed to meet him. Zhang Xi was afraid that the army would not tolerate outsiders, so he made such an excuse.
Of course, this was Deng Ai's rhetoric, and Zhang Xi didn't believe a word of it.
Do you think your master is a fool? !
If you want to see me, just reveal your identity. When a disciple meets his master, there is no reason why he cannot meet me, even if he is in the military.
Besides, when have you, this kid, been able to hide your lies from your master? !
Obviously, that's not the real reason at all.
In fact, the real reason was that Guan Yinping wanted to take this opportunity to join the army.
During the Battle of Jiangling, Guan Yinping personally went into battle and killed the enemy and made meritorious deeds. However, after the war, his achievements were easily wiped out by his second brother, and he pretended that he had not participated in the battle.
Forget it, after the war, my second brother still lectured me, saying that girls should look like girls, they were going to get married soon, they couldn’t wield swords and swords every day, and they didn’t have the airs of a lady.
Guan Yinping was not happy at that time and had a quarrel with his second brother. If he was not getting married soon, Guan Yinping would definitely run away from home to show you.
After this marriage, Guan Yinping completely took control of the relationship between husband and wife.
After all, Deng Ai is the apprentice of Zhang Xi, a coward. How Zhang Xi and Sun Shangxiang get along with each other, even if Deng Ai doesn't want to learn, will be subconsciously affected.
In addition, Deng Ai loved Guan Yinping and was reluctant to say harsh words after marriage. Naturally, Guan Yinping did whatever he said.
After Zhang Fei learned that Zhang Xi was leading troops on the expedition, Guan Yinping's thoughts changed.
With my father and second brother, I had no chance. Now with my master, can I have a chance? !
One is his master's wife's best friend, and the other has a husband who can help intercede, so he might get a chance to go into battle.
Of course, I have to learn a lesson this time and stop using my real name and dressing up as a woman. In the future, my master will be like my second brother, feeling that he can't live up to his reputation and will erase his achievements.
So Guan Yinping came up with the name Guan Yu's third son "Guan Suo" and tried to get through.
Indeed, there is a saying that Zhang Xi is indeed not as rigid as Guan Xing when it comes to women going into battle. As long as he is not a three-legged cat like his wife and can protect himself on the battlefield, Zhang Xi actually does not resist women going into battle.
But when women go into battle, there is actually a more troublesome problem in this era that cannot be solved.
There are more than 30,000 men in the military camp. Even if you, Guan Yinping, dress up in men's clothing and bear the name "Guan Suo", where are you going to sleep? !
Are you planning to join a group of big men to squeeze into the camp, or are you planning to compete with me, the coach, for the handsome camp? !
Zhang Xi did not intend to discuss this issue with Guan Yinping. He directly asked this question to his apprentice - where do you plan to let your wife sleep? !
Deng Ai said, of course my wife slept with me. Zhang Xi couldn't wait to give this stupid boy a couple of blows to relieve his hatred.
who do you think You Are? !
Breaking into the military camp without an official or position, even if Zhang Xi wanted to open the back door, Deng Ai could only be Zhang Xi's personal guard at most. He usually lived in the same military tent with Zhang Xi, so this was not a big problem.
But is it okay for your boy to bring your wife with him? !
So, Zhang Xi gave Deng Ai a suggestion - take your wife to Chengdu quickly, pay homage to the Queen of Hanzhong, and then return to Xiangyang obediently.
Anyway, I have seen it before. There is no such condition in the army for serving tea, so just treat it as if it has been done. Then wait until Deng Ai arrives in Chengdu, find Sun Shangxiang, and ask Sun Shangxiang to make up for it as a meeting gift.
Zhang Xi went to propose marriage to Deng Ai himself. Could Zhang Xi still object to Deng Ai marrying Guan Yinping?
After Zhang Xi confessed, Deng Ai didn't dare to obey. Zhang Xi saw Deng Ai's "wife-loving" bearish demeanor.
Well, he is exactly like his master. He would never dare to speak loudly in front of his wife.
In just a few words, Deng Ai was convinced by Guan Yinping.
Immediately afterwards, Guan Yinping found Zhang Xi and said, "Master has good intentions, and I understand that as a child of the Guan family, it is our duty to fight for the country. Even if the master drives me and my husband away, my husband and I will follow the army closely. Dare to dethrone the public for private reasons."
What do you mean by Zhang Xi’s frown? !
Is it okay to threaten your elders? !
Hey, that coward over there, aren't you going to come over and say something? Is your wife threatening your master? !
Well, in this regard, my apprentice seems to be carved from the same mold as myself.
This is no ordinary coward! ! ! !
