The Five Tigers of the Shu Han Dynasty were all highly skilled in martial arts and brave in battle. The good guys need three more gangs, and they also need assistants. So who have been their second-in-command?
1. Guan Yu's deputy general, Guan Ping
In the 73rd episode of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is mentioned that Guan Yu raised an army to march north to Xiangfan, originally planning to let Fu Shiren and Mi Fang fight the front, but the two burned the ordnance grain and grass because of drunkenness, Guan Yu wanted to take the two people for questioning, and the marching Sima (military judge) Fei Shi persuaded them to spare their lives and let them guard the rear. As a result, the vanguard officer of the army was replaced by Liao Hua, and Guan Ping became a deputy general.
"Commander Yun then ordered Liao to be the vanguard, Guan Ping to be the deputy general, zizhong to the general army, and Ma Liang and Yi to be the staff officers."
Guan Ping was very good, the most prominent young man of the second generation of Shu Han, and under Guan Yu's intentional cultivation, he gradually grew into a general who could lead the army to fight. Mai Cheng was trapped, Guan Yu asked him to cover Liao Hua's breakthrough, in fact, he also had the intention to let him rush out and never come back, but this child was too brazen and actually killed back.
When Linfeng broke through, father and son were captured, and Shu Han lost Guan Yu, the existing handsome talent, and also lost Guan Ping, the future pillar, which was very regrettable.
Second, Zhang Fei's deputy generals - Lei Tong, Wei Yan, Wu Ban
In the 69th episode of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that Cao Hong and Zhang Gao led their troops to advance to Brazil, and at that time Liu Bei arranged for the general stationed in Brazil to be Zhang Fei, who was assisted by Lei Tong, "when Zhang Fei and Lei Tong guarded Brazil."
However, in the Battle of Wakou Pass, Lei Tong was caught in the cao army's fierce general Zhang Guo's trick to lure the enemy and was killed by Zhang Guo. Zhang Gao was defeated and left, and Lei Tong rushed to come. The two armies came out in unison and cut off the circuit. Zhang Gao returned, stabbing the thunder copper under the horse."
After Lei Tong's death, Wei Yan, who was sent by Zhuge Liang to deliver wine to Zhang Fei, was still in the army, so he took over the post of deputy general, and with the close cooperation of the two men, he defeated Zhang Gao several times in a row and captured Wakou Pass. During the stalemate of the Battle of Hanzhong, Zhang Fei and Wei Yan captured Southern Zheng again, and also divided their troops to rob the grain on the Chu Chuan Road, causing heavy losses to the Cao army. Wei Yan later became a major general in the Shu army, and made many military achievements, and after Zhuge Liang's death, Wei Yan was killed in rebellion.
The Battle of Hanzhong was won, Liu Bei was promoted to the throne of Hanzhong, Wei Yan was promoted to Hanzhong Taishou, duzhen side, Zhang Fei's deputy general was replaced by Wu Ban, until Zhang Fei was killed. Wu Ban later accompanied Zhuge Liang on the Northern Expedition, and when he was five out of Qishan, he was ordered to lead an army to sneak into the Wei army's Weishui pontoon bridge, was ambushed, was killed by random arrows, and was martyred.
Third, Ma Chao's deputy general - Wu Lan
After Ma Chao returned to Liu Bei, he took Chengdu and made a great contribution. He then led his troops to the Battle of Hanzhong, and his deputy was Wu Lan. At the Battle of xiegujie, Ma Chao and Wu Lanbing divided into two wings on the left and right, encircling Cao's army, and Wu Lan encountered Cao Cao's "yellow bearded child" Cao Zhang in the chaotic army. Cao Zhang's killing method was very brave, "Without counting, Cao Zhang stabbed Wu Lan under the horse."
After Wu Lan's death, Ma Chao had no deputy generals, and later Zhuge Liang settled in the Fifth Road of Ping and ordered him to guard Xiping Pass to deal with the Qiang soldiers, nor did he send him a deputy general.
Fourth, Zhao Yun's deputy general, Deng Zhi
Zhao Yun led the army alone when Zhuge Liang was out of Qishan, and Zhao Yun was ordered to lead a partial division into the Valley, cheating as the main force of the Shu army and containing the main force of Cao Zhen's Wei army.
With the assistance of Deng Zhi, Zhao Yun's task was completed very well, and successfully pinned down the main force of the Wei army. Later, the street pavilion was lost, the Shu army retreated in an all-round way, and Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi made an orderly and orderly retreat, "not folding one person and one horse; weighing and other instruments, and there was no loss", so that the losses of the Shu army were minimized.
Deng Zhi was a person who did not communicate much, but only attached great importance to Jiang Wei, he was loyal and incorruptible, his moral character was noble, his family had no money left behind when he died of illness, his family was dressed in shabby clothes, and his life was difficult.
Of course, Deng Zhi's ending is still perfect, after all, he is respected by the world.
5. Huang Zhong's deputy generals -- Yan Yan, Fazheng, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Zhu
Huang Zhong has more deputy generals. In the 70th episode of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Guo led his troops to attack Ye Mengguan, Huang Zhong took the initiative to ask for orders to meet the battle, Zhuge Liang asked him to choose a deputy general, Huang Zhong said: "The veteran general Yan Yan, you can go with me", Huang Zhong and Yan Yan worked closely together, defeated Zhang Guo, and also took advantage of the victory to attack and capture Tiandang Mountain.
In the 71st episode of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Huang Zhong asks for orders to fight against Xiahou Yuan, and Zhuge Liang sends Fa Zheng to assist him, "If you want to go, my teachings are helping you." With the help of Fa Zheng, Huang Zhong seized the opposite mountain, beheaded Xiahou Yuan, and made an immortal contribution.
Huang Zhong asked for orders to rob Micang Mountain, where Cao Jun was hoarding grain, and Zhuge Liang arranged for Zhao Yun and Zhang Zhu to be his deputy generals, "Zhong agreed to do as he went, and Kong Ming ordered Zhang Zhu to go with him as a vice general." In the ensuing battle, Huang Zhong and Zhang Zhu were besieged for looting and burning grain and grass, zhao Yun rode alone to break through the formation, and even beheaded two generals of the Cao army, and Wei Zhen Zhang Guo and Xu Huang did not dare to fight, and rescued Huang Zhong and Zhang Zhu.
In the Battle of Hanzhong, After Yan Yan Dai Zhang Fei defended Langzhong, there was no trace of it, and he should have died of old age; Fa Zheng died of illness in middle age; Zhao Yun died of goodness; Zhang Zhu was injured in the Battle of Micang Mountain, and then there was no record, and he should have withdrawn from the battlefield conquest.
Finally, to summarize the final fate of the deputy generals of the Five Tigers of the Shu Han Dynasty:
Guan Yu's deputy general Guan Ping – captured and killed;
Zhang Fei's second-in-command Lei Tong – killed in battle;
Zhang Fei's second-in-command, Wei Yan, was killed in rebellion;
Zhang Fei's second-in-command Wu Ban – killed in battle;
Ma Chao's second-in-command Wu Lan – killed in battle;
Zhao Yun's second-in-command Deng Zhi – good death;
Huang Zhong's deputy general Yan Yan - good death;
Huang Zhong's deputy general Fa Zheng - died of illness;
Huang Zhong's second-in-command, Zhao Yun, died well;
Huang Zhong's deputy general Zhang Zhu - it is considered to be a death of illness.
It seems that it is better to choose to be Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's subordinates, and none of them are killed or captured.
