Why did Guan Yu go easy on Yu Jin, who had no backbone, but killed Pound with solar terms?

As we all know, Guan Yu, Pound and Yu Jin were all important figures in the Three Kingdoms period. But the relationship between the three of them is a bit messy. Does everyone know? The reason is that Pound was killed by Guan Yu when he had integrity, and Yu Jin was released by Guan Yu when he had no integrity. Why on earth is this? In fact, it is because of these aspects.

First of all, before that, let's learn about the origin of Pound and Yu Jin. Pound actually belongs to Cao Cao, but he just ran to Cao Cao halfway. At first, Pound just followed Ma Chao as captain, and his position was very low. Later, when he saw that Ma Chao had no future, he took refuge in Cao Cao. He still has a little strength and is particularly loyal to Cao Cao. However, there were too many generals under Cao Cao, and they didn't think highly of Pound, so they ignored him.

Yu Jin is different. Yujin followed Cao Cao for a long time, won many battles with Cao Cao and made a lot of efforts, which was very appreciated by Cao Cao. Yu Jin has an advantage that Cao Cao particularly likes, that is, Yu Jin actually works very seriously. In those days, there was a mutiny because Qingzhou soldiers failed to observe military discipline. At that time, Yu Jin was responsible for suppressing the military mutiny. In order to carry out Cao Cao's orders, he killed all his friends, so Cao Cao repeatedly praised Yu Jin as a good general.

Then why did Guan Yu kill Pound who had integrity? Guan Yu's personality is very arrogant, and he always thinks he is a great hero with high strength. At that time, Pound was defeated in a few rounds against Guan Yu. Actually, Guan Yu didn't want to kill Pound at that time. After all, when his eldest brother Liu Bei was short of hands, he was able to surrender one by one. But Pound always wanted to show off his integrity, not only refused to accept Guan Yu's advice, but also cursed Guan Yu as a bad man.

And threatened Guan Yu and Cao Cao's million-strong army to come at once, and Guan Yu would die sooner or later. In this case, if Guan Yu doesn't kill Pound, Guan Yu's whole morale will be in chaos. The soldiers in the army would think that Guan Yu was afraid of the arrival of Cao Cao's millions of troops and did not dare to kill Pound. Who dares to follow such a person? So Guan Yu will kill Pound anyway.

Then why didn't Yu Jin, who had no integrity, be killed by Guan Yu? Yu Jin is really smart. He is not only good at running the army, but also very sensitive to the times. What happened when Yu Jin was defeated by Guan Yu? That is, the seven armies of Yujin were all drowned by Guan Yu. As a general, Yu Jin lost to Cao Cao so many soldiers and horses. In this case, even if he returned to Cao Cao, Cao Cao did not kill him.

All the soldiers and horses in his hand are gone, and there is not much value in Cao Cao's eyes. Besides, Cao Ying and his generals who don't deal with it won't let themselves go. So Yu Jin knew that even if he did not surrender to Guan Yu, he would not come to a good end if he returned to Cao Cao. It is better to surrender to Guan Yu directly and gloriously.

Guan Yu's character is disdainful of killing spineless people. As soon as Yujin surrendered, the hero Guan Yu lost interest in killing him. Since then, Yu Jin has saved his life. It can also be said that Yujin knew Guan Yu and what kind of person Guan Yu was, and successfully grasped Guan Yu's human weakness and saved his life.

There is also a saying that Yujin and Guan Yu have some friendship! Guan Yu and his eldest brother Liu Bei were separated for some time, and Guan Yu, who had no way out, was caught by Cao Cao again. When Cao Cao saw that Guan Yu was a talented person, he left Guan Yu in Cao Ying for the time being. At that time, Yu Jin was also in Cao Cao's camp. Since then, the two people have been together more or less, and there are some personal relationships in it. Therefore, when Yujin was defeated and begged Guan Yu to spare his life, Guan Er missed a little old love and didn't kill Yujin!

At that time, Yu Jin followed Cao Cao for so many years and had a good relationship with Cao Cao. If Guan Yu kills Yujin rashly, it will indirectly set up more enemies for himself and Liu Bei, which is very unfavorable to the form at that time! On the other hand, Pound had no human relationship with Cao Cao and was bent on dying, so Guan Yu killed him and fulfilled him.

At the same time, Yu Jin, who had no integrity, was not killed, and someone gave Guan Yu advice behind his back. Surrender is free advertising. In this way, the generals on Cao Cao's side will not be so hard when they fight Guan Yu in the future. Anyway, even if you can't stay here, you can go to Guan Yu. This will be of great benefit to Guan Yu's subsequent military actions, which is an effect that can not be achieved by killing more and prohibiting less.

In fact, at that time, in the era of chaos in the Three Kingdoms, few generals from all walks of life began to talk about fighting and killing. Everyone rode to meet each other and cursed each other. If you don't do it, you won't do it, let alone kill the general. This is not a benevolent policy and no one wants to do it.
