Readers who like to watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" should not be unfamiliar with the "Five Tiger Generals" and "Five Sons of Good Generals".
The former was a five-member general under Liu Bei, the founder of the Shu state, while the latter was a five-member general under Cao Cao, the founder of the Cao Wei regime.
So, who is more powerful than the two? From the perspective of comprehensive strength, which of the two is stronger?
Before solving this problem, let's first look at who the "Five Tiger Generals" and "Five Sons of Good Generals" refer to!
One or five tiger generals
The so-called "Five Tiger Generals" actually refer to the five generals who followed Liu Bei in the early years and established the Shu Han regime, they were Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong;
Among them, Guan, Zhang, and Zhao were all Liu Bei's old subordinates, while Ma Chao and Huang Zhong only joined later, and the five of them had their own strengths, but in terms of their comprehensive strength, Guan Yu could rank first.
Two or five sons of good generals
The so-called "Five Sons of Liang Generals" refers to the five generals who had made outstanding military achievements under Cao Cao, namely: Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Zhang Gao, and Xu Huang.
From the perspective of the comprehensive strength of the five people, Zhang Liao is the strongest, and his strength value and intelligence value are relatively high.
If we consider many factors such as personal strength value, intelligence value, combat command ability, and historical influence, the comprehensive ranking of "Five Tiger Generals" and "Five Sons and Good Generals" is as follows:
If you only talk about the strength value, Zhang Liao is not the strongest among these nine people, but Zhang Liao's martial arts strategy is excellent, and although the force value belongs to the middle and upper level, he almost did not taste defeat and was able to die well.
The battle that made Zhang Liaobiao bing's history was the "Battle of Hefei" against Sun Quan!
Before being surrounded by Sun Quan, Zhang Liaoli personally led a death squad of 800 people to disperse the battle front of the 100,000 Eastern Wu army and rushed all the way to Sun Quan's banner, frightening Sun Quan to flee in a hurry.
After this war, Zhang Liao's prestige shook Jiangdong, and the Eastern Wu soldiers were all frightened, and this also determined Zhang Liao's historical status.
Therefore, Zhang Liao ranked first, which can be said to be deserved!
Zhang Gao was originally a subordinate of Yuan Shao, but was repulsed by Cao Hong after the Battle of Guandu and subsequently switched to Cao Cao.
Zhang Gao followed Cao Cao in his attack on Hebei, Zhang Liao in Dinghuainan, Xiahou Yuan in Pingliang Prefecture, and Cao Cao in his conquest of Hanzhong, during which he made many military achievements.
During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Zhang Gao broke the Shu state of Ma Chen during the Battle of Jieting, forcing Zhuge Liang to return to Hanzhong.
When Zhang Gao was in command of the front, he was flexible and flexible, adapted to changes freely, and was good at camping, assessing the situation and making good use of the terrain. Since Zhuge Liang, the Shu army has been jealous of Zhang Guo.
Unfortunately, one of the arrows was killed, ranking second!
Speaking of Guan Yu, it can be said that he is a household name, and his literary and martial arts are complete, loyal and righteous, and can be called the model of "loyalty and righteousness" throughout the ages.
His brilliant deeds in life were very brilliant, beheading good and ugly, slashing six generals after five levels, flooding the Seventh Army, and shaking Huaxia. In terms of strength value, Guan Yu is first-class.
However, Second Master Guan was arrogant and arrogant, and lacked strategic vision, so that when attacking Xiangfan, he was taken advantage of by Eastern Wu to take advantage of the old nest, and finally defeated Maicheng, ending up with a tragic end of being in a different place.
If Guan Yu can be humble and have a longer-term strategic vision, then at least he can rank second, or even first.
Xu Huang, a man of courage and strategy, can be called the mainstay of the Cao Wei Group. In the Battle of Fancheng, Xu Huang led a large army to pursue Guan Yu, breaking Guan Yu's ten sieges in a row, and lifting the siege of Fancheng in one fell swoop.
Xu Huang was experienced in hundreds of battles and rarely defeated, and because of his strict management of the army, he was also praised by Cao Cao as: "There is the style of Zhou Yafu." ”
However, in terms of personal strength value, Xu Huang was not Guan Yu's opponent, otherwise the two would also have to fight.
Ma Chao's strength value belongs to the first-class level, likes to be single,, and is also good at breaking the line, known as "Jin Ma Chao".
Before he surrendered to Liu Bei, he commanded more than 100,000 Western Liang troops, killed Cao Cao and "cut his beard and abandoned his robe", and almost beheaded Cao Cao under his horse.
However, after submitting to Liu Bei, he did not do much except to help Liu Bei rise to the rank of King of Hanzhong, and finally died depressed, only 47 years old.
Yu was strict in his military rule, and he did not hesitate to kill his former friend in order to maintain military law, which was deeply appreciated by Cao Cao and praised him as "better than the famous generals of ancient times".
In addition, Yu Ban was also the only one of Cao Cao's generals who had a false festival, that is, it was a pity to cut first and play later.
However, when Guan Yu besieged Xiangfan, Yu Banqin led the Seventh Army to the rescue, but instead of successfully rescuing him, he ended up with a tragic end of the total annihilation of the army, and was finally taken into custody in Nan County.
Later, Yu Ban returned to the State of Wei, and although he was worshipped as a general of Anyuan, this also became a stain on his life that he could not erase in his life, and finally he was humiliated by Cao Pi in every way, and finally died of depression.
LeJin's battle record is not much recorded in the historical records, but he followed Cao Cao, fought in the south and the north for a lifetime, and was also a good general in Cao Wei's army.
At the Battle of Guandu, LeJin beheaded Yuan Shao's general Chun Yuqiong, and then defeated Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang at Liyang and beheaded his general Yan Jing.
Later, Lejin followed Cao Cao to conquest Sun Quan, and after Cao Cao returned from Hefei, Lejin was stationed in Hefei with Zhang Liao and Li Dian.
In the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei's strength value is also one of the best, one pole and eight snake spears, taking the first rank of general in the enemy army, such as probing the bag to take things.
When Liu Bei was defeated at Changshanpo, Zhang Fei only led twenty horses to break, and then shouted loudly on the Dangyang Bridge, frightening no one in the Cao army to dare to approach.
However, although Zhang Fei's force value is very high, his means of leading troops are strong, and his strategy is lacking, he is good at drinking, and he often misbehaves because of drinking, and finally ends up in a different place.
In terms of strength value, Zhao Yun is also one of the best in the list of martial generals of the Three Kingdoms!
A long gun, an iron gall, in the tens of thousands of troops to come and go freely, Nagasaka Slope a battle, is seven in and seven out, really admirable.
However, because Zhao Yun was loyal (would not change his power) and had a big picture view, he was not much valued in Liu Bei's clique, but was also recorded in the "blacklist" by Liu Bei for advising Liu Bei not to conquer Eastern Wu.
Although Zhao Yun was good at fighting, he did not command a large army to fight, and even became a "firefighter" for a time.
Although Zhao Yun was not much valued in the Shu Han clique, his "strategic pattern" was praised by later historians, so it ranked ahead of Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong can be called the "incorruptible" of the Three Kingdoms period, and his old Ji Futuo is determined to be in a thousand miles.
Although Huang Zhong was already dying of old age when he surrendered to Liu Bei, he was old and strong, leading the way in battle and bravely championing the three armies.
During the Battle of Dingjun Mountain, Lao Huang Zhongli beheaded Xiahou Yuan, a famous general under Cao Cao, and was later given the title of General of Zhengxi and given the title of Marquis of Guannei.
Huang Zhong is good at fighting, but he is strategically deficient, so he succumbs to the tiger's tail!
