Dong Zhuo was afraid of Lyu3 bu4' s bravery, so he sent Su Li, a fellow countryman of Lyu3 bu4, to attract Lyu3 bu4 with red hare and gold and silver, so that he could betray Ding Yuan and return to his hometown. From then on, the red rabbit belongs to Lu Bu.
Later, Lu Bu went to war, and finally he and Xiapi City were captured by Cao Cao. The Red Rabbit was also presented to Cao Cao by Hou Cheng Song Xian, a subordinate of Lu Bu, and then was given to Guan Yu by Cao Cao. After that, Red Rabbit followed Guan Yu all the time.
After Lu Meng attacked Jingzhou, Ma Zhong, the general of Dongwu, captured Guan Yu and presented the red rabbit to Sun Quan, who simply gave it to Ma Zhong. As a result, the red rabbit died without food and grass for several days.
