The forgotten general of the Three Kingdoms is no less capable than Guan Yu, and he is only one novel away from being famous!
Introduction: Friends who have seen the Three Kingdoms must remember such a plot, after the Battle of Xuzhou, Cao Cao very much hoped that Guan Yu could surrender, so he used the high-ranking official Houlu money and beauty as a temptation. However, Guan Yu was able to withstand the temptation, and after repaying Cao Cao's kindness, he directly traveled thousands of miles to pursue Liu Bei. He is also well known to us for his bravery, whether it is the killing of Huaxiong under the tiger prison or the killing of Yan Liangwen on the battlefield of Hebei, these stories are also made up into dramas and presented to us, and posterity compares him to the top famous general of the Three Kingdoms. But Yanyi is yanyi after all, there are really many famous generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms, including such four people, they are much more powerful than Guan Yu, and they are only one novel away from being famous! Who are they?
The first was Xu Rong, as a general under Dong Zhuo, who followed Dong Zhuo in his southern expedition to the north all his life and gained his great trust. At that time, the anti-Dong coalition army broke through Hugaoguan and Luoyang, and Cao Cao's forces took advantage of the victory to pursue, hoping to welcome back The Han Xiandi to revive the Dynasty, but Cao Cao encountered Xu Rong, who had been ordered to be broken. When the two armies fought, Cao Cao's general Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Huan's two brothers not only could not defeat Xu Rong, but their troops were also defeated by Xu Rong, and Cao Cao almost died in the rebellion. Fortunately, at that time, Cao Hong gave up his horse to Cao Cao and helped him gain time to run, so that Cao Cao was able to retrieve a life, which was also the worst battle cao had lost in his life, and Xu Rong's ability was just imaginable.
The second was Tian Yu, and the three brothers of Liu Guanzhang had already met when they were under Gongsun Zhan, but at that time Tian Yu was only a teenager with great talent for military affairs and did not lead the army. Later, Cao Cao unified Hebei, and Tian Yu returned to Cao Cao's camp and garrisoned the border pass. There are too many examples of alien offenses in history, but here in Tian Yu it is surprisingly quiet. Because Tian Yu's strategy against the Xiongnu was not to take a defensive position but to take an offensive, the Xianbei, Wuhuan and other foreign tribes that fought could not find the north and south, and they did not dare to go south for the rest of their lives when Tian Yu was there. It was also Tian Yu who solved Cao Cao's worries, Cao Cao could always lead the army to fight, and Cao Wei could finally unify the world.
The third is Huang Quan, who is a capricious villain in the rendition, often surrendering back and forth between the Shu Han and Cao Wei camps, which is disgraceful. But the real him is a general with unique eyesight and great military experience. When Liu Bei entered Shu under the pretext of attacking Hanzhong through Yizhou, Huang Quan saw through Liu Bei's true intentions at a glance and told Liu Zhang not to lure the wolf into the house, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. But the dim-witted Liu Zhang could understand, and finally gave Liu Bei the great Yizhou. Another time was when Liu Bei personally conquered Eastern Wu, and Huang Quan suggested that Liu Bei sit in the rear and then command the army down the river, taking advantage of this strong military advantage to take back Jingzhou. However, Liu Bei not only did not listen to it, but also did the opposite, and finally defeated Yiling, and he himself died in the White Emperor City.
The fourth is Gao Shun, who was born and died with Lü Bu when he was young, and Lü Bu trusted him very much. And because of his strict military discipline, he had an army that could be called the strongest army of that era--trapped camp. Because of their bravery in combat and their clear minds, this feature has also become the advantage of this unit, which is good at fighting hard battles and fighting wars of annihilation. He once held Cao Cao's 20,000 troops at 3,000 troops during the battle with Cao Cao, and then defended Cao Cao's 30,000 troops with 5,000 troops at the Battle of Xuzhou. In the end, it was Cao Cao who designed to distancing the relationship between Gao Shun and Lü Bu, and Lü Bu could only kill Lü Bu after he had cut off his arm. But even though Lü Bu had alienated him at that time, Gao Shun still refused to surrender and die generously, and Cao Cao was very sorry for his skills.
Conclusion: Because "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is more familiar, everyone thinks that this is history with preconceived notions, and the characters in it are their real strength. However, because the book is based on the concept of honoring Liu Cao and greatly beautifying Liu Bei's side and simplifying other forces, there are too many famous generals who are buried. The four in the text have this ability that is no less than Guan Yu, but unfortunately they are only one novel away from being famous.
