(Huang Zhong) General Dun Zhuang, destroy the peak and climb the difficulty, make meritorious deeds, and do the work of the time!
Liu Bei had five tiger generals by his side, namely Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong. The Five Tiger General is only a statement in the novel, and there is no Five Tiger General in history.
Huang Zhong is a person who was born at the right time, and other lives are in turmoil, in their prime, and then they can show their might and make contributions. However, Huang Zhong was in his twilight years, unable to do so, and his combat effectiveness had greatly decreased a lot.
However, although Huang Zhong was old and old, he still had a sword that was not old, and during the Battle of Dingjun Mountain, he could also kill Xiahou Yuan, and his prestige was far and wide. The old Huang Zhongdu was so heroic, and when he was young, he was definitely even more powerful.
Unfortunately, the young Huang Zhong did not meet the opportunity and wasted his good youth in vain.
In the twenty-fourth year of Han Jian'an (219 AD), Liu Bei was called the King of Hanzhong and began to divide the meritorious men, liu Bei divided the four generals, namely the former general Guan Yu, the later general Huang Zhong, the left general Ma Chao, and the right general Zhang Fei.
After Liu Bei finished sealing, Guan Yu gritted his teeth and objected, he was very angry, Guan Yu angrily scolded: "The eldest husband will not be in the same line with the veterans in the end." Guan Yu did not want to become a general with Huang Zhong, and he felt humiliated.
Guan Yu was an arrogant man, and he had always looked down on Huang Zhong, so when Huang Zhong was made a general and ranked with him, Guan Yu was very angry. In addition, there was another reason why Guan Yu was reluctant to crown Huang Zhong, that is, he already had a candidate in his heart, and this person was Wei Yan.
Wei Yan was young and resourceful, and Guan Yu admired him, so he wanted Wei Yan to replace Huang Zhong as a rear general. What Liu Bei considered was that Huang Zhong was senior and had high merits, so he named him a rear general, and Wei Yan still lacked training, and he had to wait.
Wei Yan was indeed a general, but Zhuge Liang said that he had a backbone behind his head and thought that he would rebel in the future, so he was always on guard against him. After Zhuge Liang's death, he was also worried that Wei Yan would rebel and no one could subdue him, so he planned to kill Wei Yan.
As for whether Wei Yan had the intention of rebellion or not, only he knew it!
