Among the many princes in the early Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shu was once dominant, and at the peak of his strength, don't say Cao Cao, even Yuan Shao may not be stronger than him, but unlike Cao Cao's many generals under Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu really had not many advisers and fierce generals, of which the more famous fierce generals were only Ji Ling.
The reason why Ji Ling is famous is because Ji Ling in the rendition has fought with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two fierce generals with the highest armed forces, among which Guan Yu and Guan Yu "fight thirty times, regardless of victory or defeat." And Zhang Fei was "Fighting without ten, Zhang Fei shouted loudly, stabbed Ji Ling under the horse, and the defeated army ran away." "Then the thirty-way battle draws With Guan Yu, and the ten-he is stabbed by Zhang Fei under the horse, which is the true level of Ji Ling?" Let's analyze this.
Ji Ling's thirty rounds of draws with Guan Yu are often used to question that Guan Yu's force is not so strong, and even to show that Guan Yu's strength is not as strong as Zhang Fei, in fact, the real situation is far from this, the reason why Guan Yu defeated Ji Ling was because the situation at that time did not allow him to simply kill Ji Ling, why did he say so? Let's take a general look at the background of this battle.
Xuzhou was originally Tao Qian's, Tao Qian's last three let Xuzhou give Liu Bei, but Liu Bei felt that his strength was insufficient, so he led the wolf into the room to introduce Lü Bu, who had nowhere to go from Yanzhou, into Xuzhou as an arm, and as Lü Bu's sitting and Yuan Shu's tentacles reached into Xuzhou, Xuzhou gradually became a three-legged momentum, and Cao Cao was also looking at the tiger on the side.
Liu Bei was in such a situation that had to be ordered to fight against Yuan Shu, whose strength was far above him, this big battle Liu Bei did not want to fight, but Cao Cao blackmailed tianzi to order the princes, Liu Bei had to be treated negatively, facing Yuan Shu's vanguard general Ji Ling Liu Bei naturally would not really shoot, as long as Ji Ling was driven away, Guan Yu would naturally not give his full strength, otherwise if Guan Yu did not pay attention to kill Ji Ling, Yuan Shu would definitely raise troops to come, which would not be good for Liu Bei.
That's why you see the speech saying, "Ji Ling shouted for less rest, and Guan Yu rode back to the battlefield." Such a single-handed is a bit of a drama, and it is not a high-hanging exemption card before the battle, Ji Ling said that he wanted to take a break, and Guan Yu actually agreed without saying a word! It can be seen that Guan Yu did not take it seriously at all; even so, from the back of Ji Ling did not dare to fight, just sent the deputy general Xun Zheng to meet the battle, it can be seen that Ji Ling has really been scared by Guan Yu!
Let's see why Zhang Fei stabbed Ji Ling under the horse in less than ten rounds? Of course, the gap in force between the two is the main reason, on the other hand, Yuan Shu at that time rebelled because he called himself emperor, and once defeated and then defeated, he had no choice but to turn to his brother Yuan Shao, who he originally despised. "The morale of the two armies against each other is also quite important, and it is not surprising that Ji Ling died at the hands of Zhang Fei in ten rounds.
Between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial arts Bo Zhong, it was not easy to directly judge who was stronger, but at least it was certain that with Ji Ling as a reference, it was impossible for the two martial forces to have such a big gap? The only explanation is that Guan Yu's men were merciful, and the thirty rounds of battle with Guan Yu was definitely not Ji Ling's true level of strength! In fact, his true level was also the enemy of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Without the aura of thirty rounds of draws against Guan Yu, Ji Ling's strength was obviously overestimated, and in the rendition he was at best a second-rate fierce general, and Guan Yu's warm wine and Huaxiong had to be more than twenty rounds (from the intensity of the battle, and the time it took for hot wine to become milder for Huaxiong to kill Yu Shipanfeng, more than twenty rounds was a more conservative estimate), which showed that Huaxiong's strength was much stronger than Ji Ling's.
