At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was divided into three kingdoms, and the flames were endless, and Cao Cao unified the north and then marched south.
Later, he was defeated in the Battle of Chibi, and since then the Three Kingdoms have been established.
Zhuge Liang once commented that the thousand generals under Cao Cao's account were fake, and the generals should have three hundred.
Among them, there are more than thirty first-class generals in the world, and among these thirty or so generals, the Eight Tiger Riders and the Five Sons liang will be the most famous.
But even so, Cao Cao always envied Liu Bei, lamenting several times why Liu Bei was so well-fated, and there were so many talents in the world who were fighting for his life.
What's going on here?
First of all, let's talk about the generals under Cao Cao's account, the Eight Tigers rode Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Huan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Xiahou Shang.
The five sons of Liang will have Yu Ban, Zhang Jaw, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, and Xu Huang.
In addition, there are Xu Chu, Dianwei, Gao Lan, Zhang Xiu, Hao Zhao, Pound De and other fierce generals, which can be described as fierce generals.
Under Liu Bei's account, it seems that there are only five tiger generals, and even if Wei Yan and Wang Ping are added later, there are only a few people.
But why is Cao Cao always envious?
The reason is that although there are many fierce generals under Cao Cao's account, most of them are not as strong as Liu Bei's five tiger generals.
First of all, let's talk about Guan Yu, when the White Horse was besieged, he was ugly and ugly, and the heroes of the world heard of Guan Yu's name and were all frightened.
Looking at Cao Wei's camp, Cao Cao saw Yan Liang's army and was shocked by the neat formation of Yan Liang's troops.
General Yan Liang even beheaded Song Xian and Wei Xu and defeated Xu Huang twenty times, and the generals of Cao Ying were afraid.
Wen Qiu beheaded three generals of the Cao Army, stood up to fight Xu Huang, Le Jin and shot back Zhang Liao, but in the blink of an eye, he was beheaded by Guan Yu.
Although Cao Cao's account was as fierce as a cloud, a fierce general like Guan Yu did not.
Then there was Zhang Fei, and a roar on the slope of Changshan frightened the eight hundred thousand Cao army that they did not dare to take a step forward, and at this time, no one of the dozens of generals around Cao Cao dared to come forward to fight.
Then there was Ma Chao, who was defeated in the Battle of Weihe, retreated to Zhang Gao, beheaded Xiahou Ting, and temporarily threatened Cao Ying.
Cao Cao's Eight Tigers rode the general Xiahou Yuan, who was beheaded by Liu Bei's seventy-year-old general Huang Zhong at the Battle of Dingjun Mountain, and then defeated Zhang Guo.
The last thing worth mentioning is Zhao Yun.
As we all know, Zhao Yun has an iron guts seven-foot long gun, entering and leaving the ten thousand armies is like watching fish and enjoying flowers, Changsaka slope seven in and seven out, killing sixty Cao generals.
At that time, Cao Cao also wanted to see how his generals and Zhao Yunbi were, but the result made Cao Cao tremble with fear, sighing that zilong did not die, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.
And these more than sixty generals, except for Xu Chu, Cao Hong, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao, who withdrew after being injured, and Zhang Gao retreated with his whole body, all of them were beheaded.
Cao Cao saw this scene and sighed even more that such a fierce general returned to Liu Bei.
It can be seen that although cao cao has many generals, he is still slightly inferior to Liu Bei's fierce generals who have enemies.
In fact, I personally feel that this situation is still due to the influence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
As we all know, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a typical respect for Liu Liu and degrading Cao, so it is inevitable to deify a little when portraying Liu Bei's generals.
In real history, Wen Ugly did not die at the hands of Guan Yu, but was killed by Cao Jun in the rebel army.
In the Battle of Zhao Yun Changshanpo, although it was true that he rode the savior alone, he did not behead fifty-four generals of the Cao Army in a row.
It can be seen that in fact, Cao Cao's more reasons for envying Liu Bei were also fabricated by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
