In January of the fifth year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao first broke Xuzhou, forced Liu Bei away, and broke Pi, so that Zhang Liao could persuade Guan Yu to defect. After Guan Yu surrendered, he came to Xuchang with his two sisters-in-law, ready to ride a thousand miles alone, go through five customs and kill six generals. Unexpectedly, after arriving in Xuchang, Guan Yu was very popular. Because there was no news from Liu Bei, he had to live for more than a year. Guan Yu became popular in Xuchang for two reasons: first, the emperor attached great importance to it; Second, he has a good beard. These two things are actually the same thing. Xian Di fell in love with Guan Yu at first sight, and the most direct reason was that Guan Yu's beard was so beautiful that he had to be named "Beard". After the emperor's instructions were conveyed, Xuchang people took to the streets to celebrate. They said: Is my emperor not ill? You can still give Guan Gong a title. People love me, love my dog, and I am proud to touch Guan Yu's beard when I see him. On one occasion, he went to visit Jia Xu's younger brother and assistant minister Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng's son Jia Baoyu, who just turned half a year old, was still swinging by his beard. Guan Yu was distressed and proud. The child is pink. It is said that he was born with a piece of jade in his mouth. People say he is a star ... Guan Yu cherishes his beard more and brings a lot of trouble. The biggest trouble is that he doesn't sleep at night. Words have to start from Cao Cao, once Cao Cao asked him: "Do you sleep at night, do you put your beard inside or outside the quilt?" Because he never thought about it, Guan Yu couldn't answer. That night, he was confused. Should he put it under the quilt or outside? What is the best posture for sleeping with a beard? Originally, he slept on his back, and his internal troubles and foreign invasion could not be solved, so he had to sleep on his side-on the right side, of course, in order not to oppress his heart. But after a few days, he found that his beard had a tendency to lean to one side, so he had to change it to the left, but the left side was also crooked. There is no way, Guan Yu will sleep on his stomach, but he can't sleep on his stomach completely, so his beard will be oppressed ... Guan Yu will sleep on his knees slowly, which is like kowtowing, holding his chin with his hands to avoid hurting his beard. Guan Yu is an iron man. Later in Jingzhou, in his fifties, he could still do push-ups with two fingers. A small adjustment was made to his sleeping position, which did not have much impact on his physical strength. But he slept for a long time and leaned forward unconsciously, which in turn gave him a lot of advantages on the battlefield. When an opponent rushes straight, he can always beat the enemy by 0.0 1 second. Guan Yu's experience tells us that it is worthwhile to pay some price for fashion, and there may be unexpected gains, so now I won't feel sick when I see the powder on the girls' faces in the street, no matter how thick it is. Hint: Just then, Cao Cao ordered an emissary to invite Guan Gong to dinner. Say goodbye to yisow and go to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao saw everyone crying and asked him why. Gong said: "Ersao missed her brother and cried, but she was not sad." Laugh and forgive, often persuade with wine. When a man is drunk, he says, "Life can't serve the country. My back brother is just a man!" " Cao Cao asked, "How many beards are there?" Gong said, "Maybe a few hundred. There are about three or five pieces in the autumn moon every year. Winter months are often wrapped in soap gauze to avoid being broken. " Cao Cao used gauze as a bag to protect his and Guan Gong's beards. The next day, I met the emperor early in the morning. When the emperor saw the veil hanging on Guan Gong's chest, he asked him. Guan Yu said, "The minister's beard is quite long, and the Prime Minister keeps it for him." The emperor ordered the temple to be built on its abdomen. The emperor said, "What a beautiful beard!" So everyone is called "Beard".
