At that time, the princes of the Eighteenth Route joined forces and attacked Shuishui Pass under the banner of "killing Dong Thief and reviving the Han Chamber". These two armies always need a vanguard to fight. Yuan Shao ordered Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, to be the vanguard and lead his soldiers and horses to kill Xiangshui Pass. At first, Lü Bu wanted to go to the battle, who knew that Hua Xiong took the initiative to say that killing chickens with a cattle knife was enough to deal with the Eighteenth Road Princes.
Hua Xiong is a native of Kansai, he has a tiger body and a wolf waist, a leopard head and an ape arm, and is a brave warrior in battle, and is a general under Dong Zhuo. Hua Xiong first killed Bao Xin, the Xiang of Jibei, and then called for war in front of the village. The first to play was Yuan Shu's general Yu Shi, who was beheaded by Hua Xiong in less than three rounds. Then came han fu general Pan Feng, who was soon beheaded by Hua Xiong. The princes of the Eighteenth Road, hearing that Hua Xiong was so brave, were suddenly filled with sighs, and they did not know how to do it.
At this moment, Guan Yu took the initiative to ask for help. The relevant descriptions in the speech are as follows:
The young general is willing to behead Hua Xiong and dedicate it to the tent!
Before leaving, Cao Cao poured a glass of wine for Guan Yu, and wanted to practice guan Yu for him, but said, Just a Huaxiong, He Foot hangs his teeth, and I will take Huaxiong's head in a moment. Sure enough, Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong very quickly and threw his head to the ground. The Eighteenth Road Princes, after seeing it, were completely stunned!
Speaking of this, there is a question: Hua Xiong shouted arrogantly, why didn't Zhang Fei take the initiative to ask for help? In the following, I will analyze the following three reasons according to the record of the interpretation.
First, Zhang Fei's identity is low, and he does not dare to take the initiative to ask for help.
With Zhang Fei's personality, seeing Huaxiong's arrogance in front of the pass, he was already very angry and annoyed, and he gritted his teeth in hatred and wanted to meet Huaxiong, but he did not dare to act rashly. Of course, Zhang Fei was not afraid of Hua Xiong, but the princes. Don't say Hua Xiong, Zhang Fei is not even afraid of Lü Bu
Why was Zhang Fei afraid of the princes?
At that time, Zhang Fei was just a rifle archer, and his identity was very low. His brother Liu Bei also wanted no territory and no army. He was only a spectator, not a member of the allies. To put it bluntly, it is a "drama". Therefore, Zhang Fei must consider his own identity. He had neither the duty to meet Huaxiong nor the qualifications to meet Huaxiong. Even if he wanted to, whether he would be allowed was still a question. If you can't get it, if you don't go to the battle, you will fall to the ground, and if you don't say it well, you will also affect your brother.
At this point, we can see the reaction of the princes after Guan Yu said that sentence. When Guan Yu said that he was going to meet Huaxiong, he was almost questioned. First, Yuan Shao asked him who he was, and Gongsun Zhan replied that it was Liu Bei's second brother, named Guan Yu. Then Yuan Shao asked again what position he was currently living in. Gongsun Zan replied that he was a horse archer. When Yuan Shu heard this, he said angrily, "Do you think that there are no generals under us princes?" How dare a mere archer make such wild remarks? Come on man, get him out of here for me!"
In the end, Cao Cao's wise eyes saw the pearls, he said that Guan Yu looked extraordinary, must have courage, may wish to let him meet the battle, if not victorious, it is not too late to deal with it. Yuan Shao said: Let a horse archer shoot, I am afraid to laugh at Hua Xiong. Cao Cao said: This person is extraordinary, how does Hua Xiong know that he is a horse archer?
Just as the princes were arguing, Guan Yu said: If I am not victorious, I am willing to cut off a certain head. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu only then allowed Guan Yu to fight. Therefore, Zhang Fei did not want to fight, but he knew that going to war would cause big trouble.
Second, without the orders of the eldest brother and the second brother, Zhang Fei would not go out to fight Huaxiong.
Don't think that Zhang Fei is brave and impulsive, he will only be brave, in fact, he is still very disciplined. At this moment, he was the younger brother of Liu Bei and Guan Yu on the inside, and Liu Bei's subordinates on the outside, so naturally everything had to follow their orders. Liu Bei, as the eldest brother, did not speak, how could he Zhang Fei take the initiative to ask for help? If he goes to war, in case he fails, isn't he looking for his own death? If he dies, I am afraid that he will still affect his brothers. What a wise man Zhang Fei was, he could still calculate this account.
Third, Zhang Fei knew that he could not rob Guan Yu of his credit.
I think this reason is the most reasonable. At that time, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu did not have much military achievements and achievements except for killing a few Yellow Turban Troopers. I think Zhang Feiding wanted to kill several generals and let others know how powerful he was. But he had to take into account that Guan Yu was his eldest brother. The eldest brother has not yet made a name for himself, as a younger brother, can he rob the credit of the eldest brother? Zhang Fei knew that his eldest brother Guan Yu had long been impatient and would inevitably ask Huaxiong to fight.
So we will find that later when we faced Lü Bu, Zhang Fei was the first to fight, and he also scolded Lü Bu, saying that he was a family slave with three surnames.
Zhang Fei did not take the initiative to ask for help in the face of huaxiong who was not famous, but in the face of the invincibility of the world, Lü Bu, who had long been famous in the world, was known as "Lü Bu among people, red rabbit among horses", why was he so active? The reason is simple. Zhang Fei very much wanted to prove himself and make a battle achievement. At this time, Guan Yu had already "warmed the wine and cut Off Huaxiong", which impressed the Eighteenth Road Princes. Therefore, zhang fei out of battle Lü Bu, Guan Yu will definitely understand.
To sum up, Zhang Fei's humble status, lack of his brother's orders, and inability to rob Guan Yu of his credit are the three reasons why Zhang Fei did not take the initiative to ask For Huaxiong.
So, what do you think?
