In the Three Kingdoms era, Zhang Fei, Zhang Gao, Ma Chao, and Wei Yan were all brave generals, so how were they arranged according to the order of force values from high to low?
As we all know, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao both belong to the ranks of super fierce generals, while Zhang Gao and Wei Yan are one class lower and belong to first-class fierce generals. Then Zhang Fei and Ma Chao's force value is definitely higher than Zhang Gao and Wei Yan, so we just need to discuss it separately.
First, compare the strength values of Zhang Fei and Ma Chao
Zhang Fei's combat effectiveness is very clear to everyone, he is the only fierce general who can compete with Lü Bu in the Three Kingdoms era. Four confrontations with Lü Bu, each better than the first: In the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Zhang Fei "shook his spirit and fought Lü Bu" for more than fifty years without distinction between victory and defeat; Xuzhou was attacked at night, and Zhang Fei still made Lü Bu jealous and did not dare to chase after him in a drunken state; Xiao Pei fought again, and Zhang Fei shook Lü Bu's more than 100 he was undefeated; and when he fought again, Zhang Fei was even more angry and repelled the wheel war between Gao Shun and Lü Bu.
In fact, Ma Chao appeared in the Chang'an Rebellion, he accompanied his father Ma Tengqin Wang, and fought with Li Dai and Guo Feng, when Ma Chao was "seventeen years old", he fought in battle, "the battle was not enough", stabbed Wang Fang with one shot, and captured Li Meng again. At this time, Zhang Fei's strength value was in the rising stage, specifically with lü Bu's strong strength that did not distinguish between victory and defeat. If Zhang Fei and Ma Chao fight single-handedly in front of the battle at this time, Ma Chao is still young and will fall behind.
Subsequently, Ma Chao turned around with his father and stayed away from the smoke-filled Central Plains battlefield, and there was no performance. And Zhang Fei Xiao Peicheng fought fiercely against Lü Bu, Xuzhou City broke through the siege of the eight generals, when Yangqiao rode alone to retreat from the Cao army, Hulukou retreated Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang three generals besieged. During this time, Zhang Fei's strength value reached the peak of his life, and if Zhang Fei and Ma Chao fought in front of the battle during this period, Zhang Fei would win.
After the Battle of Chibi, Zhang Fei's strength value began to fade, and there was no gain in the subsequent battles, and the scene of "shouting loudly" and picking the enemy general under the horse no longer appeared. Liu Bei entered Sichuan Revenue Prefecture, and Zhang Fei's vicious fight with Ma Chao at YemengGuan was his last glory. At this time, Zhang Fei was over fifty years old, and his merit was heavy, and he was not the identity of the daredevil captain of the previous sudden charge, and he no longer had the courage of that year. In the battle of Ye MengGuan, Zhuge Liang used the "radical general method", and Liu Bei used the tactic of exhaustion of the enemy, and when Ma Chao was "trapped and tired of horses", he rushed down the pass and fought with Ma Chao for three consecutive rounds, resulting in a draw. Objectively speaking, at this time, Zhang Fei's force value should be slightly inferior to Ma Chao's by half a point.
Therefore, if we all look at it according to the peak period, Zhang Fei's strength value is higher than That of Ma Chao, but in terms of the Battle of Ye Mengguan, Ma Chao is slightly better than Zhang Fei.
Second, compare the strength values of Zhang Gao and Wei Yan
In the early days of the three-point era, brave warriors rose and fell one after another, each leading the way, and there were too many outstanding fierce generals, and such warriors as Zhang Guo and Wei Yan could not show their heads at all, not to mention the super fierce generals such as Lü, Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Ma, Huang, Dian, Xu, Yan, and Wen, that is, Xu Huang, Pound, and Xiahou Huan, who were strong and first-class, could steadily suppress Zhang Guo and Wei Yan.
In the late Three Kingdoms period, the fierce generals gradually withered away, and Zhang Guo and Wei Yan began to show their prominence. On the side of Cao Wei, Zhang Guo was the first warrior to single out, while on the shu Han side, Wei Yan was a pillar of optimus prime in front of the battle, and both were heavy generals of their respective camps, relied on by the commander and fought each other on the battlefield.
In the Battle of Jieting, Ma Tan was besieged, Wei Yan came to the rescue, "wielding a sword and riding a horse, directly taking Zhang Guo", Zhang Gao was defeated and left, luring Wei Yan into the encirclement circle; in the ambush battle of Mumendao, Zhang Hao pursued the Shu army, "straight to the horse with a gun, straight to Wei Yan", Wei Yan was not in harmony with the battle, and he was defeated and left, luring Zhang Gao into the ambush circle. The first fierce generals of the wei and Shu armies directly clashed twice, each of which was defeated, and the performance seemed to be equal.
Liu Bei entered Sichuan and wanted to attack Luocheng, and sent Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to lead an army to attack the camps of the Sichuan army of LingBao and Deng Xian. Wei Yan led the troops to set off, changed the route to attack LingBao, and met Ling Bao on the way, the two sides fought a big battle, "the two generals handed over their horses, and fought until the thirty-day combination", Deng Xian arrived again, Wei Yan's army was in chaos, "skimmed the lingbao, pulled the horse back", and the horse lost its front hoof. Huang Zhong arrived, shot Deng Xian with an arrow, and then "danced the knife straight to take Ling Bao", Ling Bao could not resist, and looked back and left. From this point of view, there is still a certain gap between Wei Yan and Huang Zhong.
At the Battle of Ye Mengguan, Huang Zhong led his troops to support, and fought with Zhang Gao before the battle, "the two horses intersected, about twenty battles", Zhang Gao's army was in chaos, and the horse was pulled and retreated. Judging from this battle, Zhang Gao was still able to fight Huang Zhong for a certain number of rounds. Judging by the performance of the two battles, Zhang Gao's force was slightly better than Wei Yan's.
In his combat career, Zhang Gao repeatedly encountered strong enemies, against Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Pound De, Guan Ping, Wei Yan and other strong opponents, Wei Yan encountered strong enemies such as Pound De, Zhang Gao, Jiang Wei, Ehuan, and Wang Shuang, and the quality of the battle was inferior to that of Zhang Gao.
In summary, the order of the strength values of the four members of the fierce generals during the peak period from high to low is: Zhang Fei> Ma Chao>> Zhang Guo≥ Wei Yan
