Speaking of the fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms, most people can think of Lü Bu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Today we will tell you about a little-known fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, and the "West Garden" describes this person as going in and out of the crowd, single-handedly, and moving forward. The Tang Dynasty poets Li He and Du Mu praised his bravery and invincibility, and it was difficult for anyone to compare with it.
In the eyes of many people, he is the real first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms. Who the hell is he? How good is he?
This person was Wen Duan, who was a brave general who came out of nowhere at the end of the Three Kingdoms, and was the son of the great general of Cao Wei and the assassin of Yangzhou. The Wen family is a native of Yu County, and in the end, it still has some relationship with the Cao family, so it can be regarded as half of the imperial relatives. Wen Jia Shangwu, Wen Duan's grandfather and father were all cao Wei generals, so Wen Duan had heard about it since he was a child and was very interested in such things as marching and fighting.
At a young age, he went in and out of the barracks with a knife and lived with the soldiers. Because of his special experience and family forging, Wen Duan can be said to be proficient in martial arts and martial arts when he grows up, and few people can match it. It is said that at that time, Wen Duan alone could single out hundreds of people, and everyone called him "a hundred enemies".
First of all, Wen Duan fought against Sima Zhao and Deng Ai.
Wen Duan's father, Wen Qin, was a Yangzhou Assassin, so Wen Duan and his father had been stationed on the Shouchun side. Wen Qin's patron was the general Cao Shuang, but after the Coup d'état at Gaopingling, the Sima family seized cao Shuang's power, which of course also seized the power of the Cao family. Wen Qin both used empress dowager Yi's will to oppose Sima Shi for the sake of the Cao family. Sima Shi personally led a large army against Wen Qin and Yuqiu Jian, who had joined him in the army. Wen Qin took the initiative to ask Shou Lejia. In order to defend Haolejia, Wen Qin and his son Wen Duan each led a group of men and horses, and after the two armies met, they attacked Sima Shi's military camp at night.
When Wen Duan arrived there, Wen Qin was delayed, so Wen Duan had to besiege and not attack. Wen Duan's siege without attacking made Sima Shi particularly headache, and the eyeballs that had not yet been cured actually popped out of the sarcoma wound. After dawn, Wen Qin had not yet arrived, and Wen Duan had to retreat. Sima Shi, who had been beaten all night, was very weak, and he ordered his uncle Sima Ban to lead thousands of men and horses to pursue Wen Duan.
Wen Duan, who had thought that he had not rested all night, was very weak, and he knew that his bravery was abnormal. Wen Duan only used a few hundred men and horses to entangle with thousands of enemy people, and killed many Wei soldiers in and out of several places, and no one in the Wei army was afraid. Then Wen Duan retreated with a big swing, and his bravery frightened Wei Bing.
Sima Ban was timid, but Deng Ai did not spare him, and he and Wen Duan, who was alone, fought again. Seeing that they could not kill him, the Entire Wei Army rushed to kill him, and Wen Duan fled to the lejia bridge. Several Wei generals also followed him to Lejia Bridge. Wen Duan didn't say a word about raising his gun to rush to kill, and after a few rounds, most of the Wei generals died in his hands.
After this battle, the name of Wen Duan spread throughout the Central Plains, saying that Zhang Fei was how to grow the slope of Ban, even if he knew that today Wen Duan had the courage of Zhang Fei that day. Of course, the Battle of Lejia is just a small test of Wen Duan's cattle knife, and more powerful ones are still to come.
Wen Duan's famous battle was won in a struggle with the bald tree's ability.
Although Wen Duan fought against Sima Shi, he still fell to the Sima family. After the Three Kingdoms of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Xianbei forces entrenched in the northwest became a major problem for the Central Plains Dynasty. At that time, the leader of the Xianbei tribe was called Bald Tree Function, who was cruel and terrible, and the famous scholar Cai Dongfan called him "a jackal by nature, and the crowd roared and dared to be reckless."
Bald Tree was able to invade the western Jin border many times and defeated many jin dynasty feudal officials stationed on one side. For example, you say Akihiro, Yang Xin and so on. In addition to the fact that the feudal officials had no return, the elite troops of the Jin Dynasty were also damaged in the hands of the bald tree function. Bald Tree's ability to bully the Jin Dynasty was unusable, and he captured Liangzhou, ready to use it as a springboard to continue attacking the Jin Dynasty. There was no one available in the DPRK, and Sima Yan was extremely anxious, so he urgently mobilized from Yangzhou a general who could recruit good warriors, and Wen Duan was one of them.
In fact, Sima Yan did not want to see Wen Duan, because Wen Duan may have indirectly caused the death of his uncle Sima Shi. For unknown reasons, Wen Duan was sent by Sima Yan as a vanguard officer to fight the bald tree function, and later in danger, he was appointed to supervise the military of Yongliang Qin and Qin, and commanded the military with full authority. The mountains are high and the valley is deep, and the bald tree function can use the terrain to shoot arrows from high to low to block the Jin army, and Wen Duan let the soldiers use the trees to build a lot of flat vans to break into the enemy camp to fight.
Wen Duan also gave full play to his bravery and took the lead in entering the enemy's army, making the enemy chaotic. The fierce fighting lasted from day to night, and eventually the Bald Tree could not hold on to retreat. Wen Duan took advantage of the victory to pursue and recruit more than 200,000 of his men and horses, and eliminated all the hidden dangers that had existed for many years at once.
After this battle, Wen Duan became the title of the first brave general at the end of the Three Kingdoms period, and also became one of the most famous generals after the founding of the Western Jin Dynasty. If he had been born in the early Three Kingdoms period, those famous generals would have been eclipsed.
