Who was the most powerful of Cao Cao's five sons? Not Zhang Liao, but a famous general who made Zhuge Liang afraid
If the most famous of Cao Cao's five good generals was Wei Zhen Xiaoyaojin, who almost killed Sun Quan's Zhang Liao, then Zhang Guo should have belonged to Shu Han's strong enemy, although he was defeated by Shu Han's general Zhang Fei.
So Zhang Jun's fiasco made Zhang Fei famous. Because before Zhang Fei, although it had long been called the enemy of all the people, the only thing that could produce the results of the battle was to break the bridge. That is to say, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhang Fei broke through the Dangyang Bridge in order to scare away millions of Cao soldiers. What about other achievements? I am afraid that Zhang Fei was attacked by Lü Bu and lost in the Battle of Xuzhou.
Therefore, Zhang Fei's defeat of Zhang Jun was his most brilliant model of war, proving that the name of "Ten Thousand Enemies" was by no means worthy of fame. But the strange thing is that Zhang Gao of the Ming Dynasty could not even beat Zhang Fei, why would he become a big trouble for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, they were afraid of him.
For example, after Huang Zhong killed Xiahou Yuan, Liu Bei said: "Killing Xiahou Yuan is nothing, killing Zhang Guo is the real cow!" Zhuge Liang later expressed his fear of Zhang Jun, why? In fact, there are two reasons.
First, the ability is too strong
To become a famous player, it is always up to your own ability. For example, Guan Yu and Cao Cao, the first generals of the Three Kingdoms, were very capable, so they were very afraid. Zhang Gao is obviously the same pattern.
The reason why Liu Bei said this was because after Xiahou Yuan was killed by Huang Zhong, Cao Bing did not collapse as he expected. On the contrary, under the auspices of Zhang Gao, he quickly gained a foothold and confronted Liu Bei, leaving Liu Bei helpless.
Zhang Gao's unchanging Taishan temperament is indeed surprising. This also proves Zhang Gao's ability. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of Cao Cao's employment, he always had Cao Jiaban as the commander and the rest as generals, which prevented Zhang Gao from further development.
In the later period, with the growth of the clan power of the Gate Valve nobles and the consolidation of the "Nine Pin System", Zhang Hao could only succumb to Ismail Yi. This is Zhang Gao's sadness. He was eventually killed by Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang—after Zhuge Liang retired, Sima Yi forced Zhang Gao to pursue him and was shot and shot by Zhuge Liang at the wooden gate.
Second, it caused a lot of trouble for Liu Bei
Zhuge Liang and Zhang Gao were able to resist Liu Bei's attacks, stabilize Liu Bei's position, and cause a lot of trouble for Liu Bei, even if Xiahou Yuan was killed. That's why Liu Bei hated Daniel Zhang so much. But the one who hated Zhang Gao the most should be Zhuge Liang.
When Zhuge Liang first went north to the Central Plains, his biggest mistake was to use horse rumors to guard the street pavilion. But who in the pavilion objected? It's Zhang Gao. So from that point of view, it's a little unfair that he lost.
It can even be assumed that if Zhang Gao did not come, he was not a mediocre general, but did not grasp his weakness, and then returned to the street hall, estimating that he would really become famous in the First World War.
