Based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the novels and folklore assess the five sons of Cao Wei, the five tiger generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, and the twelve tiger ministers of JiangBiao, and their specific lists are as follows: Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Zhang Gao, Xu Huang; Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun; Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, Dong Xian, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, and Ding Feng.
If we take a cursory look at the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", we will divide these twenty-two people into three grades: the weakest of the five tiger generals can also complete the strongest of the five sons, and the twelve tiger ministers of JiangBiao cannot win the five sons of the good generals. The so-called Jiangbiao Twelve Tiger Ministers, like twelve courier brothers who specialize in transporting soy sauce, always appear with two people carrying a bottle of soy sauce: Chen Wu and Pan Zhang, Han Dang paired with Huang Gai, Jiang Qin partnered Zhou Tai, and Ding Feng accompanied Xu Sheng.
At first glance, it seems that the Five Tiger Generals are the strongest, the Five Sons are second, and the Twelve Tigers of Jiangbiao are the weakest, but if you look closely at the outcome of the Five Tigers and the Five Sons of the Five Tigers, you will find a problem: Since it is the Five Tigers who are the best at fighting, the Five Sons are also OK, and the Twelve Tigers of Jiangbiao are a bunch of rookies, so why is it that Shu first destroyed Wei and then Wu died?
Shu Han was destroyed by the Wei State Bell Association Deng Ai in 263 AD, and a total of forty-three years of the first lord Liu Bei and the second emperor Liu Chan II, who enjoyed the kingdom for forty-three years; Cao Wei was usurped by Sima Yan in 266 AD, which lasted for a total of forty-six years; the state of Eastern Wu was not easy to calculate, because Sun Quan was a bit sneaky, he had an era name when he was called king, if calculated from the time of kingship, it was fifty-nine years, from the time of claiming emperor, it was fifty-two years, until 280 AD, Sun Hao tied his hands and carried the coffin to the Western Jin Dynasty to surrender. This is what readers are familiar with, "Wang Maolou ship down to Yizhou, Jinling Wang Qi eclipsed." Chihiro's iron lock sinks to the bottom of the river, and a piece of stone descends out of it. ”
If you enter, you can't go home, and if you go out, you can't be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will always die. Shu, Wei, and Wu perished in turn, and it cannot be said that Liu Chan, Cao Wan, and Sun Hao did not have a single loyal general, such as Ding Feng, one of the twelve Tiger Ministers of Jiangbiao, who we are familiar with, fought until the third year of Jianheng (271), and finally died peacefully as a grand Sima (大司馬), a military master, a false festival, and a leader of Xuzhou Mu.
With the death of Ding Feng, the era belonging to the Five Tiger Generals, the Five Sons of Liang Generals, and the Twelve Tiger Ministers of JiangBiao is over, and we can also take stock of how many "Great Generals" and "Good Generals" were killed by the strongest Five Tiger Generals of the Three Kingdoms Period, and how many "Great Generals" and "Good Generals" were killed by the weakest Twelve Tiger Generals?
The records of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are too brief, and sometimes even the time of death and the cause of death of the characters in the biography are vague, and there are conflicts with the historical materials of the same period such as "Wei Luo" and "Biography of Jiang Biao".
In order to unify the standards, we simply rely on the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" today - sometimes the description of the novel may be more reliable than the main history.
According to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" (we only use the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as the basis today), when the Five Tiger Generals slaughtered the four sides, the Twelve Tigers of Jiang Biao were a bunch of rookies, and they were not even qualified to talk to Guan Yu, even Zhou Yu Lusu, when he heard the name of the Five Tiger Generals, would be frightened and twisted.
However, it is such a semi-historical and half-historical interpretation of the Twelve Tigers of Jiangbiao written as soy sauce vendors, but it makes two Shu Han Five Tiger Generals die at the hands of a group of Jiangdong rookies, and that rookie is Pan Zhang and his subordinate Ma Zhong.
From the distribution of the spoils such as Pan Zhang's getting the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and Ma Zhong getting the Red Rabbit Horse, we can also find that JiangBiao's Twelve Tigers are not weak and can't help the wind - Guan Erye's sword weighs eighty-two pounds, and Pan Zhang can use it when he takes it, indicating that his martial arts should be a little higher than That of Ji Ling, who uses fifty pounds of large swords.
Some people jokingly called Eastern Wu MaZhong a "tiger general killer", which is not unreasonable, it is said that the veteran huang zhong Huang Hansheng, also folded under the hands of that guy.
Four of JiangBiao's twelve tiger ministers besieged Huang Zhong, which gave Ma Zhong the opportunity to secretly release cold arrows--at the time of the curtain of the five tiger generals, these rookies who played with soy sauce were actually still alive: "Zhou Tai on the right, Han Dang on the left, Pan Zhang in front, and Ling Tong in the back, trapping Huang Zhong in the heart." Suddenly, when the wind was fierce, and when Zhongzhong retreated in a hurry, Ma Zhong led an army out on the hillside, and an arrow hit Huang Zhong's shoulder socket, almost falling off his horse. ”
The general died in a hundred battles, and the hero returned in ten years. These four "Jiang Biao Huchen" fought for so many years, survived or killed so many "great generals" and "good generals", and finally were able to besiege Huang Zhong with all their tails, if it is just good luck, it is estimated that the readers will not believe it.
Two of the five tiger generals of the Shu Han Dynasty died at the hands of JiangBiao Huchen, so which Jiangbiao Huchen was killed by Guan Yu Zhang Fei Zhao Yun Ma Chao Huang Zhong? The author is not well-read, and I have not found a single one.
Although the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty did not kill a single Jiang Biao Tiger Chen, their battle record against the Five Sons of Cao Wei was remarkable: Guan Yu was captured by the Forbidden Pound Flooding Seventh Army, and Zhang Fei beat Zhang Guo to abandon Ma Yuanshan and flee, Zhao Yun "shouted loudly, raised his gun and rushed into a heavy siege, rushing left and right, as if entering no man's land." The gun was full of flowers, like dancing pear blossoms; all over the body, like drifting snow. Zhang Gao and Xu Huang were terrified and did not dare to meet the enemy. ”
Among the Five Sons, the only one who had a slight hope of fighting a draw with the Five Tiger Generals was probably Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, but this man was very clever, never confronting the Five Tiger Generals, even if Cao Cao was in a hurry at the Battle of Jingxiang, he also rubbed and rubbed until the end of the battle, he was late.
Cao Cao knew that Zhang Liao was Gu Nian's old love affair with Guan Yu, so he did not pursue it. Xu Huang, who was called "big brother" by Guan Yu, wanted to offer a reward of thousands of dollars to take guan gong's head in the battle, and after the war, he was only verbally praised and did not actually reward - perhaps in Cao Cao's view, only Zhang Liao understood his strategic conception, and Xu Huang was a bit greedy and adventurous: Guan Yu should be allowed to take the main force to fight Jiangdong to death, and as a result, Xu Huang's plan of "driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf, both sides were injured" failed.
Xu Huang took advantage of the danger of people to bully Guan Yu, who had an arrow wound on his arm, but finally died under Meng Da's arrow: "But it is said that Xu Huang was shot in the forehead by Meng Da, and the troops rescued him in the village, took the arrow, and ordered the doctor to treat him." He died that night at the age of fifty-nine. ”
Xu Huang did not die at the hands of the Five Tiger Generals or Jiang BiaoHuchen, but Zhang Liao Zhang Wenyuan was shot and killed by Ding Feng in the novel: "A Biao army on the shore killed, the first general, is Ding Fengye." Zhang Liao rushed to meet him, and was shot in the waist by an arrow from Feng, but xu Huang saved him... Zhang Liao returned to Xuchang, and the arrow sore burst and died. ”
The reason why Le Jin, a general of the Five Sons, did not have a strong sense of existence in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was because he was killed by Gan Ning Gan Xingba at the mouth of the Shukou very early: "Ling Tong indulged in the horse's knife, and before he came out of the battle, Zhang Liao made Le come and go to meet him." The two fought until fifty, and without winning or losing, Cao Xiu flashed behind Zhang Liao, fired a bow and arrow, and in the middle of The Horse Sat down on the horse, and the horse stood upright and threw Ling Tong to the ground. Lejin hurriedly stabbed with a gun. The gun had not yet arrived, only to hear the sound of the bow string, an arrow shot into the door of le, turned over and fell off the horse. ”
With the strength of the Jinfan thief Gan Ning, Lejin was hit by an arrow on the front door, and he was definitely unable to save his life--after that battle, Lejin never appeared again, and it must have been seriously injured and died.
After such an inventory, the five tiger generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, two of whom died of illness and one of whom were assassinated, and two of whom died at the hands of Jiang Biao Huchen, cao Wei's five sons liang generals, Guan Yu captured one, Zhuge Liang shot one, Meng Da shot one, and the other two also died under the bow and arrow of Jiang Biao Huchen.
This is trouble: I didn't see the Five Tiger Generals and the Five Sons liang generals beheading Jiang Biao Huchen, but only jiang biao Huchen shooting or beheading Huang Zhongguan Yu and Zhang Liaolejin, doesn't this mean that the jiangbiao twelve tiger ministers with many people are the most powerful team in the Three Kingdoms?
This is only half right: The Twelve Tiger Ministers of Jiang Biao can indeed bully the talent-starved Shu Han with many people, but to fight with Cao Wei, their strength is not enough.
The Five Tigers will be the top combat strength of the Shu Han Dynasty, and JiangBiao Huchen will also produce many great Sima and great generals, while the Five Sons liang will be in Cao Wei, but they are only second-rate military generals: they are pressing On The Xiahou of Cao, and their personal martial skills are not as good as Xu Chudian Wei Pond, and even if the Five Tiger Generals and Jiang Biao Huchen kill all the five sons and liang generals, Cao Cao is only wounded and does not move his bones.
Our basis today is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms rather than the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so readers who are very proficient in both books should discuss them separately: the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, the Five Sons of Cao Wei, and the Twelve Tigers of JiangBiao in the Main History, which team is more powerful? In the war between Cao Wei and Sun Wu, which of the Jiang Biao Huchen was beheaded by Wu Ziliang with a gun and an axe and a knife?
