As the saying goes, "less do not look at the journey to the west, the old do not look at the Three Kingdoms", which means that children are already lively and active, if they come into contact with the story of the journey to the west, they will be more naughty; when people reach old age, it is easy to become old fritters, and it is easier to read the Three Kingdoms. Leaving aside the journey to the west, just talking about the Three Kingdoms, in fact, it is not so much that the Three Kingdoms are full of intrigues and rivalry, and are the stage for the strategists, but rather that it is the world of military generals. If we are familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, it is not difficult to find that in addition to the brilliant warriors in the speech, such as the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty and the Five Sons of Cao Wei, there are many characters who have been brushed over or portrayed as straw bales, and they are also famous and famous generals. Today we will take stock of these seriously undervalued celebrities.
5. Xiahou Shang
Xiahou Shang, the character Boren, as xiahou Huan's nephew in the rendition, did not have any famous generals, and lost face to the Xiahou family--he accompanied Cao Hong to hanzhong to support Zhang Guo, who was defeated by Huang Zhong; he was defeated by Huang Zhong; he was defeated by Huang Zhong's hands again when he stationed at Dingjun Mountain with Xiahou Yuan; and was defeated by Huang Zhong's hands from eastern Wu. However, in the canonical history, he is not such a straw bag image. In real history, he was Xiahou Yuan's nephew, and his achievements were also very dazzling. In the beginning, he had accompanied Cao Zhang's suppression of the Wuhuan rebellion and returned with great victories; he had secretly attacked Shangyong, defeated Liu Feng, surrendered Meng Da, and pacified the three counties and nine counties; from the conquest of Eastern Wu, he did fight zhuge Jin, but he was the victorious side. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Xiahou Shang records: "(Xiahou Shang) attacked the Jin armies, burned their boats and ships in the middle of the river, attacked them both on land and water, and broke them." From this, it can be seen that Xiahou is not an incompetent person.
Fourth, Zhang Ling
Zhang Ling, Zi Boqi, in the rendition, although Zhuge Liang said before his death that he and Zhang Yi, Wang Ping, Ma Dai, Liao Hua, Jiang Wei and others were extremely experienced in combat, but if we read the rendition carefully, it will happen, and his performance is not outstanding--he was wounded and captured when he single-handedly confronted Lady Zhu Rong; he was wounded again after fighting with the Wei general Wang Shuang; covering Jiang Wei's retreat, he was directly killed on the battlefield. However, in real history, he was a well-known general in the late Shu Han Dynasty, not only quelling the rebellion in Nanzhong and defending Nanzhong for fifteen years, which made the barbarians feel frightened, but also commanded the most elite troop of the Shu Han Dynasty, Wudang Flying Army. In his later years, he suffered from a leg disease and was able to kill enemies several times. Its performance is many times stronger than in the rendition.
3. Li Tong
Li Tong was a general under Cao Cao, and his first appearance in the Rendition was at the Battle of Wancheng. At that time, he took the initiative to ask for orders and served as a pioneer for Cao Cao, and although his performance was not a first-class famous general, it was not bad, but when he appeared again, he was overwhelmed - facing Ma Chao, he was stabbed under the horse by a shot and died. In the right history, his ability, his record is enough to make people look sideways. Leaving aside anything else, let's just talk about his most dazzling battle.
After Cao Cao was defeated at Chibi, he left Cao Ren in Jiangling and returned to the north himself. Cao Ren did not have a good time in Jiangling, he not only had to face Zhou Yu's attack, but also was blocked by Guan Yu. At this time, Cao Cao sent Li Tong to rescue Cao Ren, and Li Tong almost broke through Guan Yu's encirclement, but he died of illness at a critical moment. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Li Tong records: "Liu Bei and Zhou Yu surrounded Cao Ren at Jiangling and sent Guan Yu to the North Province. Tong led the crowd to attack, dismounted and pulled out the antlers, and fought and advanced, in order to meet the benevolent army and bravely crown the generals. ”
2. Xu Rong
Xu Rong was a general under Dong Zhuo,000, and his battle record was more dazzling than that of the previous few people—Cao Cao, who used soldiers like gods, and Sun Jian, a fierce tiger in Jiangdong, were all defeated generals under his command. The Later Han Shu Dong Zhuo Biography says: "Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, also led the various groups of soldiers in Yuzhou to seek Zhuo. Zhuo Xian sent Xu Rong and Li Meng out of the raid. Rong Yu Jian, and The Battle Break Jian, the raw bird Yingchuan Taishou Li Min, cooked. This means that Sun Jian, who later frightened Dong Zhuo to seek peace, had just raised an army, but he was defeated by Xu Rong's men, and the defeat was quite miserable. Sun Jian then moved his army to Liangdong, where he was once again defeated by Xu Rong, and the soldiers scattered and fled. Only after he gathered the remnants did he have the record of breaking Hu Yun and Lü Bu.
When Cao Cao met Xu Rong, the defeat was even worse - he ventured into the water alone, met Xu Rong, not only damaged a large number of soldiers and horses, but also almost lost his life, if it were not for Cao Hong's life to save each other, it is estimated that in the history of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, there would be one less tyrant. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and Emperor Wu records that "(Cao Cao) met the Zhuo general Xu Rong, who was at a disadvantage in battle, and suffered many casualties among his soldiers. Taizu was in the middle of the stream, and the horses he rode on were wounded, and he fled from His brother Hong with his horse and Taizu at night. However, in the middle of the rendition, the man who defeated Sun Jian became Huaxiong; the threat he posed to Cao Cao was only succeeded by Li Ru's strategy, ambush and sneak attack, and when the real frontal fight was completed, within a few rounds, Xiahou Huan stabbed him under the horse.
First, Cao Zhen
Speaking of Cao Zhen, many people are not strangers, after all, whether it is in literature or film and television works, he himself is incompetent, and he is also jealous of Xian's ability, and the image of Sima Yi dragging his feet is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, if we look through the history books, we will find that his ability is almost the most weakened warrior in the Three Kingdoms--in real history, in terms of martial arts, he can shoot a tiger with one arrow; in terms of status, he is the commander of the tiger and leopard horse, and he is also the minister chosen by Cao Pi, or the great Sima of Cao Wei; on the use of soldiers, he has defeated the Eastern Wu army and also defeated Zhao Yun; on strategy, he has twice resisted Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and anticipated the enemy's first chance. Throughout Cao Zhen's life, he lived up to the evaluation of the phrase "Cao Zi Dan Jia Ren Er", which is far from the image of the straw bag in the rendition.
