Among the young descendants of the three sides of Wei Shu and Wu, whether it was the martial arts of fighting alone or the ability to lead troops to fight, Cao Zhang was undoubtedly the best, stronger than Guan Ping of Shu Han and Ling Tong of Eastern Wu.
Cao Zhang, a young man, liked to dance with knives and guns, ride horses to shoot arrows, and practiced a good martial art."
Tough and powerful, capable of fighting beasts
He was brave in temperament, often wearing strong armor in battle, holding a euphorbia in his hand, and rushing to the front as a soldier, not afraid of life and death.
Cao Zhang's martial arts are indeed very powerful, but who can be better than the old predecessor Xu Chan? Let's compare it with a few examples.
Cao Zhang only fought twice in total, both in the seventy-second episode of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
2nd time:
Zhuge Liang took Hanzhong, and Cao A's army retreated to the valley.
After Liu Bei took Yizhou, he continued to expand outwards, entering Hanzhong, killing the Cao general Xiahou Yuan and capturing Dingjun Mountain. Cao Cao led a large army to fight Liu Bei. Cao Cao's army repeatedly lost, and the soldiers retreated to the valley boundary, at this time, Cao Cao's son Cao Zhang led troops to support, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and ordered Cao Zhang to fight.
Hearing that Cao Zhang's troops were coming, Liu Bei's righteous son Liu Feng took the initiative to ask for help, willing to lead the army to meet Cao Zhang. Liu Bei's son and Cao Cao's son were about to compete on the battlefield, and they had to fight for their father's face and for their own breath. The two men met in front of each other and immediately fought in one place."
Only three times, the seal was defeated and returned
The gap was too big, and Liu Feng was completely unable to resist Cao Zhang's fierce attack and was defeated.
Subsequently, Ma Chao and Wu Lan led the Shu army from both flanks, and the two sides began a scuffle. In the rebellion, Cao Zhang met Wu Lan, and the two sides fought."
Without counting, Cao Zhang stabbed Wu Lan under the horse
", kill Ma Chao's vice admiral."
Regarding the positioning of Cao Zhang's force value, we can take Xu Huang as a reference. Xu Huang was a fierce general in The Cao Wei camp, with high martial arts and great strength, and his weapon was a giant spirit axe, and he and Liu Feng had met three times.
The first time Xu Huang fought liu feng was in the Five Realms Mountain, and the two generals fought, "
The enemy could not hold back, and the horse left
", did not say the specific number of rounds, but it can be determined that the gap between the strength of the two sides is still very obvious.
The second time Xu Huang fought liu feng was at Yangping Pass, the two sides faced each other, Cao Cao scolded people, and Liu Feng was angry."
The gun suddenly took Cao Cao
", Xu Huang with a large axe to meet the battle, Liu Feng"
Cheat and go
”。 It was an ineffective battle, but it was certain that Liu Feng was still no match for Xu Huang.
The third confrontation between Xu Huang and Liu Feng was in Fangling. After Guan Yu was defeated in Maicheng, Liu Bei wanted to hold the relevant personnel responsible, and Meng Da smelled that the wind was wrong and surrendered to Cao Wei. Liu Feng led his troops to attack him, zhongfu was defeated, the soldiers left the mausoleum, and the defender Shen Yi refused to go outside the city, Liu Feng was about to attack the city, Xu Huang led his troops out from behind the city, "
The seal could not be resisted
He fled to Nishikawa with the remnants.
Through the comparison of the battles between Cao Zhang and Xu Huang and Liu Feng, we can see that Cao Zhang's strength value is at least comparable to Xu Huang's, and he is very strong. We know that Xu Huang once played against Xu Chan on the way to Xuchang, and the two sides"
Swords and axes intersect, and more than fifty battles are fought, regardless of victory or defeat
Xu Huang has the strength to be undefeated in fifty rounds. So, how does Cao Zhang compare to Xu Chu?
After Cao Zhang defeated Liu Feng and killed Wu Lan, Cao Cao still fought Liu Bei's army at the mouth of the Xiegu Valley, and the leader of the other side was Wei Yan, and Cao Cao sent Pound to meet the enemy.
Why didn't Cao Cao send Cao Zhang to war? Everyone should pay attention to who Wei Yan arrived at the same time as wei Yan? --Zhang Fei. Wei Yan's appearance meant that Zhang Fei could also appear at any time, Cao Cao sent his son into battle, and What if Zhang Fei suddenly rushed out? Can Cao Zhang resist it?
During the battle, suddenly there was chaos in the rear of Cao's army, and it was reported that Ma Chao led his troops to sneak into the rear camp, but Cao Cao still did not send Cao Zhang to deal with it. In the chaotic battle, Cao Cao was wounded by an arrow and the whole army retreated. Zhuge Liang sent Ma Chao and other generals to attack and plunder, and Cao Cao ordered Pound to take charge of the rear. Cao Cao preferred to let Pound face the late lord Ma Chao, but still did not send Cao Zhang.
At that time, there were not many fierce generals available under Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan had already been killed in battle at Dingjun Mountain; Xu Chu was seriously injured by Zhang Fei while escorting grain on the Chu Chuan Road; Zhang Guo was defeated by Zhang Fei, and he was not Ma Chao's opponent, and Xu Huang was also invincible; Xiahou Huan was already old, and Wen Ping was always Mingzhe to protect himself. At this time, the strong generals that Cao Cao could use were Pound Andi, Cao Cao always let Pound go to war, and the snow hid Cao Zhang, for the simple reason that Cao Zhang was afraid that Cao Zhang would meet unexpectedly with fierce generals such as Zhang Fei and Ma Chao on the battlefield and have an accident.
From this point of view, although Cao Zhang is brave and fierce, the actual force value is not comparable to that of a super fierce general like Xu Chu.
Cao Zhang was a pity, he experienced only these two battles, the performance was indeed very good, but in the subsequent complex political struggle he was deprived of military power, and since then, his outstanding military talent has been completely abandoned.
