I believe that all lovers of the Three Kingdoms must be very impressed by Guan Yu Guan's second master. Whether in terms of force, commander-in-chief, or personal character. Guan Yu was worthy of his title of Martial Saint. In the eyes of most people, Guan Yu can be said to be a martial saint who has gathered loyalty and courage. And in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu's situation is indeed the case.
So if Guan Yu later went to cao cao, how many people could he rank in the cao camp? Next, on this issue, take the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a model to analyze in detail, if Guan Yu defected to Cao Cao, the strength ranking of the military generals in cao's camp. And this list is not a ranking of force values, but a synthesis of the commander-in-chief ability of military generals. After all, as far as martial arts are concerned, Guan Yu can say that if he defects to Cao Cao, he is really the first in Cao Ying's single challenge.
Third place: Zhang Gao
In the rendition, Zhang Gao's ability can be said to be obvious to all. His identity was originally one of the Four Court Pillars in Hebei, and he belonged to the same level as Yuan Shao's yan liangwen and others. On his military merits alone, he debuted in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and later followed Cao Cao in attacking Wuhuan, breaking Ma Chao, and lowering Zhang Lu, and repeatedly made military achievements.
Looking at Zhang Gao's record, the most successful one was to cover the evacuation of the people in Hanzhong for more than fifty days. Moreover, after Xiahou Yuan was killed, he covered the slow retreat of the large army, which can be said to show his ability as a famous general. According to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Kong Ming was on the mountain, and he saw that he was united among all the armies, and there was conflict between them. The heroism doubled, but it was said left and right: "When I heard zhang Yide fighting Zhang He, everyone was terrified." When I see it today, I know that he is brave. If this person is left behind, it will be a harm to Shuzhong. I should get rid of it. ”
In fact, Zhang Gao played more of a goalkeeper role in the rendition, and most of the people who could beat him were first-class top martial artists, but combined with his combat merit and martial arts level, it was obvious that there was no problem in ranking third in Cao Ying. After all, he is also a veteran of the battlefield, and his ability is also OK. Therefore, Zhang Gao was ranked third.
Second place: Guan Yu
In terms of martial arts alone, Guan Yu's ability can be said to be only below Lü Bu, and he basically wins or draws against other martial artists. Just by looking at his achievements, you can peek at one or two, from the debut of killing Hua Xiong in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, to the later beheading of Yan Liang and Wen Ugly, and finally killing Pound. On martial arts alone, Second Master Guan can say that no one is vain, so why is he ranked second? Because this ranking is not a ranking of force values, although Second Master Guan is strong in martial arts, his ability to unify the army is still slightly inferior.
Why? Guan Yu did have outstanding ability in the early stages, and made great contributions to the construction of shu Han forces, and his ability to command troops can be said to be obvious to all. However, Guan Yu's personality is too arrogant, which leads to the biggest failure in his life, carelessly losing Jingzhou.
To tell the truth, Guan Yu showed his true colors as a famous general in the face of Cao Wei's forces. First, the Seventh Army was flooded, and some were captured by Pound.
However, because of the sneak attack of the Eastern Wu forces, he ended up with a dead maicheng. It can be said that it is because he is too arrogant and faces the courtship request of Sun Quan, the monarch of Eastern Wu. He humiliated him, which was very much in line with his arrogant character, but at the same time, it also laid hidden dangers for the later Eastern Wu sneak attack on Jingzhou. In fact, from the perspective of Guan Yu's ability alone, it is actually very excellent, whether it is personal martial ability or commanding the army to guard one side, it can be said that he is a rare talent, but because of his bad personality, he does not know how to change. Diplomatic capabilities are weak, so it ranks second.
1st place: Zhang Liao
I believe that everyone is no stranger to Zhang Liao, he was first a general of Lü Bu, and then Lü Bu of Baimen Lou died, and Zhang Liao returned to Cao Cao and became a member of Cao Cao's subordinates. Fighting in all directions for the construction of Cao Wei's forces can be called a rare fierce general.
Speaking of Zhang Liao, many people seem to have no impression, in fact, from the perspective of the ability of the unified army, Zhang Liao is the real God of The Three Kingdoms. Just by looking at his record, it can be said that he is absolutely brave.
In the battle against Wuhuan, Zhang Liao led the vanguard troops to face the large army led by TaTun at the White Wolf Mountain. Zhang Liao, in the face of danger, directly killed 200,000 enemy troops, killed Tadun in one fell swoop, and made great contributions to Cao Cao's foundation in the north. Later, he was sent by Cao Cao to the first line of Hefei to deal with the attack of the Eastern Wu army, and under his garrison, the Eastern Wu army did not make any achievements.
Later, Sun Quan led a 100,000-strong army on the Northern Expedition, intending to take advantage of Cao Wei's forces to recruit Liu Bei to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack. Eight hundred troops led by Zhang Liao directly hit Sun Quan, which can be said to be a collapse. Since then, Zhang Liaowei has been shaking xiaoyaojin and stopping children crying at night in Jiangdong.
Looking at these two battles alone, Zhang Liao can be said to be the first military god of the Three Kingdoms, even if he is zhuge Liang, who is a clever and calculating person, he can be said to be slightly inferior in front of him. After all, although Zhuge Liang can be said to use soldiers like gods in yanyi, he is still slightly inferior to Zhang Liao. Therefore, Zhang Liao was ranked first among the cao wei generals.
