As we all know, in the Three Kingdoms, the Shu state had five tiger generals; Cao Wei had five sons and eight tigers to ride; what about Eastern Wu? Eastern Wu had four governors and twelve tiger ministers.
Today I want to talk about the Twelve Tigers of Jiangbiao.
Why is there a saying that jiangbiao twelve tigers are chen? The reason is that Chen Shou, the author of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", wrote a joint biography of twelve people from Jiangdong. And gave the evaluation of "all these generals, all the tiger ministers of the river table, and the favor of the Sun clan".
So which twelve people are the Twelve Tiger Lords of JiangBiao? According to the column biography, their order is:
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, Dong Xian, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, Ding Feng.
JiangBiao Twelve Tiger Lords
As for why in this order? I think it's mostly ranked by seniority or age. Anyway, it won't be according to martial arts.
Let's talk about the Twelve Tigers of Jiangbiao in combination with history and interpretation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >1, Cheng Pu</h1>
Cheng Pu, the word Demou. A native of Tuyu (present-day Fengrundong, Hebei).
Cheng Pu's seniority is very old, as early as the era of Sun Jian, he and Sun Wentai leveled the Yellow Turban, begged Dong Zhuo, and went around to conquer the north and conquer the north. Later, he followed Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong. He also assisted the young Sun Quan with Zhang Zhao and others. At the time of the Battle of Chibi, Cheng Pu was appointed deputy governor, second only to Zhou Yu. He once disobeyed Zhou Yu, but later was impressed by Zhou Yu's talent, like Zhou Yu apologized. I have to say that the old general's temperament is still there.
Cheng Pu's age was the oldest among the Eastern Wu generals. Therefore, others also honored him as "Cheng Gong".
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cheng Pu's weapon is called the Iron Ridge Snake Spear. It is also a relatively peculiar weapon, it seems that the Three Kingdoms not only Zhang Fei used a snake spear.
Cheng Pu
Cheng Pu's martial arts were not bad. When he was with Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong, he was able to single out Tai Shi Ci for thirty rounds. Although it cannot be said that the strength of the two is necessarily equal. However, if he could fight with Tai Shi Ci for thirty rounds without losing, there were probably few people in the whole Of Eastern Wu who could do it. Therefore, Cheng Pu's martial arts are also very good.
In 210 AD, Cheng Pu died of illness.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >2, yellow cover</h1>
Yellow cover characters covered. A native of Lingling Quanling (present-day Yongzhou, Hunan).
Like Cheng Pu, he and Sun Jian fought in the south and the north as early as the time of Sun Jian.
He served as sun jian, sun ce, and sun quan as three principals. He is the Patriarch of the Three Dynasties. His seniority is also quite old.
Huang Gai's greatest credit was to burn Chibi. He is the protagonist of "Bitter Meat Meter". The "bitter meat plan" that he and Zhou Yu practiced together is also a widely praised story.
Old General Huang Gai
Now think about it, Huang Gai was sixty or seventy years old, and he dared to bear the beating, which showed his courage and loyalty to Eastern Wu.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Guanzhong depicts him as an iron whip. It belongs to the short weapon type. He once used this short weapon to defeat Cai Mao and capture Huang Zu alive. Only later in the Battle of Chibi, he switched to a large knife. I don't know if Luo Guanzhong forgot, or if he felt that the actual effect of the big knife was better than the iron whip.
Yellow lid
Probably shortly after the Battle of Chibi, Huang Gai quelled the rebellions in Wuling, Changsha and other places. He eventually died in office.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >3, Han Dang</h1>
Han Dang, the word is righteous. A native of Lingzhi, Western Liaoning (present-day Qian'an, Hebei).
Like Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, he followed Sun Jian very early. But I feel that his age may be a little younger than Cheng Pu Huanggai.
Therefore, he is also a patriarch of the Three Dynasties and is also very senior.
In his youth, he was appreciated by Sun Jian for his bow and arrow, riding skills, and strength.
Battles are often pioneered and brave. Therefore, he has an indelible contribution to the Foundation of Soochow.
Han Dang's activities were very long, and he served Sun Shi for a long time, about forty years. He also lived a long life, living until 227 AD. After the Battle of Chibi, he also participated in important battles such as the Battle of Jingzhou and the Battle of Yiling.
Later, he was promoted to the rank of General Zhaowu ( 昭武將軍 ) , champion Taishou ( Champion Taishou ) , and was given the title of Governor of Jiadu ( Jiadu ) , and was given the title of Marquis of Shicheng .
Han Dang
By the way, his son was named Han Zong, who later rebelled against Cao Wei and was killed by Ding Feng in the Battle of Dongxing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >4, Jiang Qin</h1>
Jiang Qinzi Gongyi, Jiujiang Shouchun people.
Jiang Qin is a person who has a vague impression for many people. Many people can't say exactly what he did. Of course, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he is not a protagonist. It also feels rather vague.
In fact, he was an active general in sun ce's time. In his early years, he accompanied Sun Ce to pacify the four counties of Danyang, Wu County, Huiji, and Yuzhang. Ping Thief, Move to the West Capital Lieutenant. He met with the thieves Lü He and Qin Wolf, and moved to Yue Zhonglang. He also worked with He Qi to try to pacify the thieves.
In this way, he was still relatively meritorious in Sun Ce's time, so he was a general promoted by Sun Ce.
Later, in the era of Sun Quan, he participated in the Battle of Hefei, and because of his merits, he was promoted to general of Lang Kou and led the Governor of Xu. Later, they all paid homage to the Right Protector and gave their resignation.
Jiang Qin is open-minded in life, and you are honored to keep your promises.
The last battle of his life was in 219 AD, when he participated in the battle against Guan Yu, and on the way back to the army, he died of illness.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >5, Zhou Tai</h1>
Zhou Taizi Youping, Jiujiang Xia Cai ren.
Zhou Tai must be very familiar to many people. He was in Eastern Wu equivalent to Zhao Yun of Ji Han and Xu Chu of Cao Wei.
He was also a general in Sun Ce's time, and he joined Jiang Qin in defecting to Sun Ce.
In the era of Sun Ce, he followed Sun Quan's side, saved Sun Quan's life many times, and was seriously injured many times.
The most famous is the Battle of Hefei, where three in and three outs save Sun Quan. In the end, he was covered in injuries. Sun Quan gave Zhou Tai the Qingluo umbrella cover in recognition of his exploits in the birth and death of Eastern Wu. It is a status symbol.
I have to say that Zhou Tai is a fierce person and a fierce general.
Someone might ask how Zhou Tai's martial arts are? In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Tai once fought Xu Chu for thirty rounds with Han Dang, and finally Xu Chu retreated completely. It can be seen that Zhou Tai's martial arts are not high, and fighting alone is definitely not a master of super-first-class martial artists such as Xu Chu.
But that doesn't prevent people from being a fierce general.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >6, Chen Wu</h1>
Chen Wu
Chen Wu zi lie. A native of Songzi, Lujiang (present-day Susong, Anhui).
He was also an active general in Sun Ce's time. He followed Sun Ce in his conquest of Jiangdong and was promoted to Sima of the Other Department because of his merits.
Because he himself was kind and charitable, he was admired by all the members of Dongwu.
Later, because he often served as a pioneer and experienced military merits, he was given the title of partial general.
In 215 AD, the Battle of Hefei was fought, and he died in Hefei, which made Sun Quan very sad.
Chen Zilie
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the author lets him die at the hands of Pound. However, he carried it for a long time from the time he fought Wither to the time he was killed by Pound. It feels like his martial arts are not bad, and it may even be underestimated.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >7, Dong Raid</h1>
Dong raided the yuan dynasty. He was a native of Yuyao (present-day Yuyao, Zhejiang).
He was also a general in Sun Ce's time. When Sun Ce fought Yan Baihu, Yan Baihu was killed by Dong.
In 213 AD, Cao Cao's Sun Quan fought a great battle against Shukou. Dong Xun was sent to lead five building ships to The Mouth of the People's Republic of China. But at night there was a strong wind. As a result, the building ship is about to capsize. The others asked Dong Xun to leave with them. Dong Xun said, "Under the general's appointment, I am here to prepare thieves, how to entrust him, and dare to repeat this beheading!" Therefore, Dong Xun did not leave and drowned along with the five building ships.
It can only be said that Dong Raid's death was very tragic. Also responsible. But it feels a bit unworkable.
Dong Raid
Later, Sun Quan changed his clothes to mourn and treated his family kindly. He died as well.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >8, Ganning</h1>
Ganning character Xingba. A native of Linjiang, Ba County (present-day Zhong County, Chongqing).
The name of Gan Ning is presumably not unfamiliar to many people. Gan Ning can be regarded as the first person in Jiangdong Martial Arts after Tai Shi Ci's death. But Ganning lacks a single-handed record with others. So Ganning's first is not convincing enough.
Gan Ning was a ranger when he was young, so the jianghu was called "Jinfan Thief". Before defecting to Sun Quan, he served under Liu Biao.
Later, Sun Quan fought with Huang Zu, and Gan Ning once shot Ling Tong's father Ling Cao with an arrow. Therefore, there has always been a contradiction with Ling Unification.
Ganning
Historically, Gan Ning also confronted Guan Yu, causing Guan Yu to abandon his plan to cross the river.
Ganning's most famous deed must be that of the "Hundred Horsemen Robbery Camp". Dare to use a hundred people to rob the village, and do not damage a soldier or a horse. What a boldness. Because of this, Gan Ning was considered to be able to match Zhang Liao in Cao Cao's camp.
Historically, There was no reconciliation between Gan Ning and Ling Tong, because Gan Ning died first, so it was not for it. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Luo Guanzhong asked Gan Ning to save Ling Tong, and the reconciliation of the two was also a relatively good result.
Tiger will ganning
Historically, it is said that Gan Ning did not live long enough to die at the Battle of Yiling, probably in 215 AD. In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Luo Guanzhong let him live for a few more years, living to the Battle of Yiling, because of dysentery, he was weak, and met the barbarian king Shamoke, who was shot by one of his arrows.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >9, Ling Tong</h1>
Ling Tong zi public performance. A native of Yuhang, Wu Commandery (present-day Yuhang, Zhejiang).
Ling Tong Sun Quan still valued him more. He and Gan Ning were incompatible, and the reason was that Gan Ning killed his father Ling Cao.
There is no reconciliation in history, and in the rendition, Luo Guanzhong gave them a better ending of reconciliation.
At the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, Ling Tong resisted Zhang Liao's frontal attack, allowing Sun Quan to flee. But Ling Tong was also seriously injured.
Therefore, many people believe that Ling Tong's untimely death is the reason.
There are different theories about which year Ling Tong died, some say 217 years, some say 237 years. Not uniform anyway.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ling Tong's martial arts are still OK. He can play fifty rounds with Lejin and Zhang Liao respectively.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >10, Xu Sheng</h1>
Xu Sheng
Xu Sheng character wen xiang. A native of LangxianJu County (琅邪莒县; present-day Juxian County, Shandong).
Xu Sheng's age was younger than those of the previous ones.
Because of his youth, his seniority is shallow. Therefore, Xu Sheng was rarely a main general in the early days, and most of them participated in the war in the form of deputy generals.
In the early days, he fought with Huang Zu's son Huang Zhao, winning more with less. It's a good start.
During the Battle of Chibi, He Ding Fengduo acted as a bodyguard.
After the Battle of Yiling, Xu Sheng had the opportunity to become the main general.
When Cao Pi was in Jiangnan, Xu Sheng, as the main general, once burned Cao Pi and showed excellent combat and command skills. It also made people see Xu Sheng's command ability.
He later participated in the Battle of Shiting. Let Cao Wei feel that he is brave.
Xu Wenxiang
The year of Xu Shengsheng's death is not known, so it is not known which year he died and how old he was.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >11, Pan Zhang</h1>
Pan Zhang's character Wen Jue. A native of Dong Commandery (東郡發干; present-day East of Guan County, Shandong).
Pan Zhang's main deed was to follow Lü Mengqi in attacking Jingzhou and intercept Guan Yu with Zhu Ran.
Ma Zhong, who captured Guan Yu that year, was Pan Zhang's subordinate.
Historically, Pan Zhang died of illness. But in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After he captured Guan Yu, he obtained Guan Gong's Green Dragon Crescent Sword. The battle with Liu Bei at the Battle of Yiling caused Huang Zhong to die indirectly at his hands.
Later, he was chased by Guan Yu's son Guan Xing, and Ran to the same old man's home with Guan Xing, was startled by Guan Gong's portrait, and was paralyzed by Guan Gong Xiansheng. Killed by Guan Xing.
This method of death is also relatively different.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >12, Ding Feng</h1>
Ding Fengzi Chengyuan. Lujiang Anfeng people.
When Ding Feng was young, he was a soldier, and he accumulated it by continuous battle achievements. Ding Feng is the youngest compared to the first 11 people, so he is the last in line.
In the early stages, Ding Feng did not have any opportunity to stand alone, and could only become a subordinate of other generals. Therefore, if Ding Feng wants to be promoted, he can only rely on the accumulation of battle achievements. Therefore, he fought very bravely, and injuries were common for him.
Because longevity is his greatest magic weapon. He survived to death everyone at his time. In the later period, he finally became a single general. Waiting for his glory.
In 252 AD, the Great War of Dongxing, he relied on his rich experience to win this war. Later, he helped Sun Xiu get rid of the traitor Sun Qiao brothers.
It can be said that his life has reached its peak.
Ding Feng served Sun Quan, Sun Liang, Sun Xiu, and Sun Hao as four principal dukes. It was the fourth old minister, and I felt that this was also his unique existence.
Only later it may be because of too much credit, pride and complacency, and some supporters are self-respecting.
After his death, because of his reasons, his descendants did not end well.
The above are the twelve tigers of the river table. Looking at the life experiences of their twelve people, it really fits the name of Hu Chen.
