Although in Mao Gong's commentary on the ranking of the martial generals of the Three Kingdoms given by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that one Lü Two Zhao San Dianwei, four passes and five horses and six Zhang Fei, Huang Xusun Tai two Xiahou, two Xu Panggan Zhou Wei, the sharpshooter Zhang Xiu and Wen Yan, although brave and helpless, the twenty-four generals of the Three Kingdoms, the last Deng Ai and Jiang Wei. Zhao Yun's second position in it is indeed a bit of a false height, but Zhao Yun is undoubtedly able to rank in the top three.
The reason why Zhao Yun ranks so high in the eyes of most people is nothing more than the image of a victorious general who has been undefeated in his life. Not to mention the record between Zhao Yun and the generals who ran the dragon suit, let's just talk about the record of Zhao Yun and the existence of the thirty-six generals on the ranking list.
When the first Zhao Yun appeared in the book, he was at war with the famous Hebei general Wen Ugly. At that time, Zhao Yun was still just a fledgling boy, and he did not have any fame yet. Moreover, he was also a teenager, and his strength was far from reaching its peak, and he still fought with Wen Ugly for fifty or sixty rounds without winning or losing.
Who is Wen Ugly? The first general under Yuan Shao's account, the head of the Four Court Pillars in Hebei, was famous and famous. During the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao even said that Wen Ugly could easily kill Hua Xiong and could fight lü Bu. Although there is a suspicion of excessive reputation, the strength of Wen Ugly is indeed very high. Zhao Yun was able to fight with Wen Ugly at a young age, and his strength was evident.
The second Zhao Yun vs. Xu Chu, regardless of victory or defeat. Xu Chu was Cao Cao's first general after Dianwei's death, xu Chu, when he first appeared, he was eight feet long, with a waist of ten circumferences, carrying a large knife, and cao Cao's strongest Dianwei directly from Chen to noon, regardless of victory or defeat. Later, Xu Chu was even more naked on the war horse, and Zhao Yun could already prove his strength by drawing with him.
The Thirty-first Romance of the Three Kingdoms:
Cao Cao Cangting broke the original Xuande Jingzhou according to Liu Biao: Cao Was furious and taught Xu Chu to fight. Behind Xuan De, Zhao Yun stood up and came out of the horse. Two will intersect thirty times, regardless of victory or defeat.
At the third long Banpo station, Zhao Zilong entered and exited the young lord seven times, which made Cao Cao shocked and moved, and made Cao Jun tremble with fear. And among them, Zhao Yun also fought a big battle with Zhang Guo, one of the five sons of Cao Cao. However, this time there was no victory or defeat, the reason was obvious, Zhao Yun still had an Adou in his arms, and he could not fight for a long time in order to protect Adou.
The forty-first time liu Xuande and the people crossing the river Zhao Zilong single-handedly rode the savior:
When the first member of the general, the banner is clear, the big book river between Zhang Guo. Yun did not answer, and fought with his gun. About ten times, Yun did not dare to fall in love with the war and took the road and left.
At the Battle of the Fourth Han River, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun confronted Cao Cao. Huang Zhong was surrounded by Cao Cao's troops Zhang Guo and Xu Huang, and in danger, Zhao Yun came to the rescue, directly shouted, raised his gun and rushed into the siege, rushing left and right, as if entering no man's land. Before they could fight, Zhang Hao and Xu Huang were frightened and did not dare to meet the enemy. Zhang Gao and Xu Huang were also famous generals in the world, and they were also the second of the five sons of Cao Cao's account, and they were directly frightened and did not dare to fight, and this aura was almost no one could do in the Three Kingdoms.
The above four battles are all records of the confrontation with the thirty-six generals of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" evaluated by Mao Gong, which is enough to show Zhao Yun's strength, but the following two forces are not under Zhao Yun.
Although it is said that throughout Zhao Yun's life record, although undefeated, there is rarely a record of clashing with the top martial generals of the Three Kingdoms, but this is only a direct massive record against him. Compared with the records of other generals and famous generals, Zhao Yun and famous generals have only a lot more records of fighting. If you really want to compare, in addition to the undoubted first Lü Bu, probably only Guan Yu, who is the same as Zhao Yun as the Five Tiger Generals, can compare with him.
First of all, Lü Bu, who ranked first, Zhao Yun was definitely unable to beat it. Lü Bu among the people, the red rabbit in the horse, the position of the first general of his three kingdoms should be unshakable.
When fighting Against Dong Zhuo, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two strongest generals at that time, fought together, and Lü Bu was able to remain undefeated, and even retreated completely.
In the Battle of Puyang, when Cao Cao and Lü Bu fought, in order to defeat Lü Bu, it can be said that he sent the most luxurious lineup in his history: Dianwei, Xu Chu, Xiahou Huan, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, and Le Jin, a total of six fierce generals of the world, and dianwei and Xu Chu, two almost invincible figures in the world, besieged Lü Bu together. But the result? Lü Bu was unscathed, not at all affected, and successfully retreated completely.
On the other hand, when Zhao Yun Xinye met Xu Chu for the second time, he fought for a while, and Yu Ban and Li Dian directly did not have to fight and withdrew as soon as they came. The opponent was only half of Lü Bu's face, and they were still inferior to Lü Bu, let alone defeat Lü Bu.
Then there was Wu Sheng Guan Yu, who was listed with Zhao Yun among the Five Tigers of the Shu Kingdom, but he was the head of the Five Tigers, and he was definitely stronger than Zhao Yun.
Second Master Guan first beheaded Huaxiong with warm wine, and then he was lü Bu in the Three Ying Wars, which had already shocked the world in the early days of the Three Kingdoms. These two achievements are no weaker than Zhao Yun.
Later, when he temporarily surrendered to Cao Cao, he relieved Cao Cao's difficulties at the Battle of Baimapo, and easily succeeded in achieving the feat of cutting off Yan Liang and cursing Wen Ugly. Zhao Yun had also fought with Wen Ugly, but it was only a draw, and from this point of view, Guan Yu was obviously stronger than Zhao Yun.
After that, Guan Yu had five levels and six generals, and then fought against Xiahou Huan, one of the most powerful generals under Cao Cao's command, and even flooded the Seventh Army in the Battle of Xiangfan, slashing and killing the fierce general Pound De, and shocking Huaxiong in one fell swoop. On the whole, it is obviously stronger than Zhao Yun.
However, in addition to Guan Yu, neither Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, or Huang Zhong, who were the same five tiger generals as Shu Guo and Zhao Yun, or Xu Chu, the Marquis of Cao Weihu, the Xiahou brothers, or the five sons of Liang, or a group of military generals from Eastern Wu, could not compare with Zhao Yun in terms of the achievements of famous generals.
Even Dianwei, who died early in the third place on the 36 general list, would not be Zhao Yun's opponent.
Although Dianwei claims to be the first in infantry combat, in fact, he does not have much good records. Its most representative stop is nothing more than a draw with Xu Chu. Then there is the six masters who fight Lü Bu without winning or losing.
Dianwei's most memorable battle record is only the Battle of Wancheng, without weapons, cao Cao killed a bloody road to successful savior. However, although he had killed hundreds of zhang Xiu's soldiers with his fierce strength, he was not necessarily able to be convincing with Zhao Yun Changsakapo's seven-in-seven-in-seven-
After all, when Wancheng was in, Dianwei only rescued Cao Cao by putting his own life in it. However, Zhao Yun said that he had successfully saved his life.
Besides, although Dianwei is good for infantry combat first, but the two armies are fighting, can I ride a horse I am stupid to fight with you on foot.
Therefore, I personally believe that in terms of force alone, Zhao Yun should rank third among the military generals of the Three Kingdoms, the first is Lü Bu, and the second is Guan Yu.
What do you think of Zhao Yun?
