What really happened to Diao Chan?

New postby Da_Chicago_Jigalo on Sun Oct 03, 2004 3:11 am

What really happened to that hot, ancient chinese beuty Diao Chan? She was known to be "One of the Four Great Beauties of China and no one knows what really happened to her after the incident with Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. There have been many theories of what happened to her after it but what do u think really happened.
Here are some right here.....

:arrow: Theorie #1: Diao Chan and Wang Yun were exacuted together for killing Dong Zhuo after Lu Bu fled Zhuo's old palace.
(This one would seem to be most true, but it just doesn't make a good story...)

:arrow: Theorie #2: Diao Chan escaped along with Lu Bu, but after Lu Bu was beaten by Cao Cao at Xia Pi, Diao Chan became Cao's servant. Cao Cao offered her to Guan Yu, and told her to seduce him in order to get Guan Yu to join him, but Guan Yu knowing it was a trick killed Diao Chan.
(Diao Chan's great beauty didn't work here man....)

:arrow: Theorie #3 Diao Chan had escaped along with Lu Bu, but after Lu Bu was beaten by Cao Cao and Liu Bei at Xia Pi, Diao Chan became Cao's servant. Cao Cao then offered her to Liu Bei as an alliance treaty, and the 3 sworn brothers started fighting over which one would marry her. Guan Yu then cut Diao Chan in half killing her because it was breaking apart the freindship. (This one was probaly made up in the novel, trying to show Guan Yu's loyalty to the oath. But wouldn't doing this just piss Zhang Fei and Liu Bei off more?)

:arrow:Theorie #4: Diao Chan had escaped along with Lu Bu, but after Lu Bu was beaten by Cao Cao and Liu Bei at Xia Pi, she came into Zhang Fei's hands, who offered her to Guan Yu to marry. Guan Yu knowing that many strong men have failed under the influence of her beauty, forced her to commit suicide. (Call it a hunch but I think Guan Yu has some beef with Diao Chan)

:arrow:Theorie #5 The very very ridiculous, uneeded Kessen 2 theorie where Liu Bei falls in love with her, Cao Cao steals her, and Liu Bei lives for like 90 years and unifies china. (What a crock of crap)

What do u think really happened to Diao Chan after the whole Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu thing. I think it definitely had something to do with Guan Yu, thats for sure.
If anyone knows anymore stories list them here.

You really have a very active imagination. Anyhow, maybe she escaped with Lu Bu & Cao Cao being a smart man killed her along with Lu Bu.

another story says that diao chan was killed by wang yun after he had succeeded his famous plot.
he killed diao chan because she knew his secret.
the story also says wang yun,truly was a jack sprat.he wanted dong zhuo's death for his ambition.

The last mention of her in SGYY was in chapter 19 when Lu Bu was surrounded at XiaPi. She showed concerned for his safety.

there are another theory which had been not as popular is that

She had been given to the three brothers after Lu Bu's forces had been destroyed. The three brothers were in dilemma till Guan Yu was to kill her. Guan Yu had bring her to a mroe remote place to kill her but he could not bear to do it so he send her to the nunnery to be a nun instead.

I'm surprised you forgot about the Japanese version.

In that version, when Li Jue is storming Chang'An, Diao Chan kills herself leaving Lu Bu with nothing.
