In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu is portrayed as an invincible warrior. He drank warm wine and cut Huaxiong, and rode alone for thousands of miles. Cut off the face of the good and the ugly, pass five levels and behead the six generals, and flood the seven armies to shock Huaxia. Even if he dies, he must show the Holy Jade Spring Mountain and pursue Lu Ziming. In the book, Cao Cao borrowed the words "Guan General Zhen Tianshen Ye" said.
Since Guan Yu was written by Luo Guanzhong as an invincible being, he was still a normal person in the earthly world. Therefore, Guan Yu is not without enemies in the Three Kingdoms, so let's take stock of how many generals can confront Guan Yu in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the following is a personal point of view.
First of all, let's first look at the people in the Shu Han camp. Guan Yu ranked first among the Five Tiger Generals, but that meant that Guan Yu's comprehensive quality among the five was relatively high. His ability to use troops and command the battlefield, as well as to be independent, is higher. In terms of martial arts, the other four of the Five Tiger Generals were able to tie Guan Yu.
Zhang Fei is the third brother of Liu Guanzhong.
His nature is like fire, and his voice is like thunder. His best record was a draw with Lü Bu, the first warrior of the Three Kingdoms, twice. The first time in the tiger prison to single out Lü Bu, the two sides fought for fifty or sixty rounds without distinction between victory and defeat, the second time in Xia Pi, the two sides fought more than a hundred rounds, regardless of victory or defeat, from which we can imagine Zhang Fei's courage. Therefore, Guan Yu's statement that Zhang Fei was better than himself was not a lie.
Ma Chao and Zhang Fei fought alone in the middle of the night, and the two sides fought lilies, regardless of victory or defeat.
According to his and Zhang Fei's record, compared with Guan Yu, he and Guan Yu are also rivals and should be able to play with Guan Yu.
Huang Zhong had fought with Guan Yu, and the two sides fought for three days, and on the first day, the two sides were on a par with each other.
The next day Guan Yu wanted to make a dragging knife meter, because Huang Zhongma lost his front hoof and let him go. On the third day, Huang Zhong walked through Yang with a hundred steps, and the arrow shot Guan Yu's helmet to return Guan Yu. In these three days of fighting, we can see that Huang Zhong and Guan Yu also have the strength to draw.
As for Zhao Yun, it goes without saying that in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the first outstanding writing is Guan Yu, and the second outstanding is Zhao Yun. In the past rankings, everyone thought that he could rank second after Lü Bu. He can also play with Guan Yu in a tie.
Two of the young generals in the Shu Han Dynasty were able to tie Guan Yu. One is Guan Ping, and the other is Jiang Wei. Guan Ping was measured by a draw with Pound, while Jiang Wei was measured by a draw with Zhao Yunzhan.
In the Cao Wei camp, there were also many people who could draw with Guan Yu. In the Cao army, the two highest generals of Wu Yong, Dianwei and Xu Chu, needless to say.
Dianwei was known as Cao Cao's evil coming, and his strength was infinite, and he once held the handsome banner of Cao Ying by himself, and he did not move in the strong wind. During the battle with Zhang Xiu, he guarded the gate of the village with his bare hands and protected Cao Cao from danger. According to Dianwei's Martial Courage, he was able to fight guan Yu.
Xu Chu's martial arts were similar to those of Dianwei, who took over Dianwei's post after Dianwei's death and repeatedly protected Cao Cao from danger. Especially in the Battle of Tongguan, Xu Chu was naked and fought fiercely with Ma Chao for hundreds of rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. According to the records of Ma Chao and Zhang Fei, Xu Chu can also fight with Guan Yu.
Among the generals of Cao Ying, the highest martial artist among Cao Cao's relatives may be Xiahou Huan.
He once went head-to-head with Lü Bu, and there was no winner or loser in fifty or sixty rounds. On the Yellow River, because Guan Yu beheaded his subordinate Qin Qi, he had to fight Guan Yu. From this point of view, Xiahou Huan was proud of his martial arts and was not afraid of Guan Yu at all.
However, xiahou Huan and Lü Bu clashed when his body was intact, and later he was hit by an arrow in the eye, and losing one eye would definitely affect his martial arts. Therefore, Xiahou Huan was able to play with Guan Yu for a period of time, but he could not gain the upper hand.
In Cao Ying, Guan Yu only glanced at Xu Huang and Zhang Liaogao.
The martial arts of these two people are superior, and Guan Yu will make friends with them. In that year, Liu Guan zhang defended Peicheng, and Lü Bu sent troops to attack. Zhang Fei wants to fight Zhang Liao, but Guan Yu stops him. Guan Yu explained to Zhang Fei that Zhang Liao's martial arts were not under Guan Zhang. Later, Zhang Liaowei shook Xiaoyaojin, and eight hundred broke the Eastern Wu hundred thousand soldiers. It can be seen that Guan Yu's evaluation of him is not false, so Zhang Liao can also fight with Guan Yu to a draw.
In the Battle of Xiangfan, Xu Huang rescued Cao Ren and met Guan Yu's sword soldiers.
At that time, Guan Ping was injured in Guan Yu's right arm and prevented Guan Yu from fighting. Guan Yu said that he knew Xu Huang's ability, and if Xu Huang did not retreat, he would kill him. However, Guan Yu and Xu Huang fought for more than eighty rounds, which were comparable. The book explains that it was because Guan Yu had an injury to his right arm. However, from here we can see that Xu Huang also has the strength to fight with Guan Yu.
There is a desperate Pound left.
Pound occupies the young Lisheng and fights with Guan Yu to carry the coffin. And Guan Yu's first battle against Lily, there is no difference between victory and defeat. The second time, he fought for more than fifty rounds, and without distinction between victory and defeat, he shot an arrow and injured Guan Yu. Although later, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and captured Pound, but Pound's martial arts could completely resist Guan Yu.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the generals of Eastern Wu are very contemptuous and do not describe too much. In many battles with Cao Cao, Sun Quan repeatedly lost. Therefore, in Guan Yu's eyes, these generals are all Jiangdong rats, not enough to hang their teeth.
However, judging from the performance of several battles in Eastern Wu, Sun Ce, Tai Shi Ci, Ling Tong, and Gan Ning were all fierce generals, and if they fought against Guan Yu, they should also have the ability to fight a battle.
