In the Three Kingdoms period, there were many great generals who became famous, and their achievements were passed down in the annals of history and admired by future generations, but the success of each general was exchanged for his own sweat and efforts, of course, there were many elements of luck, and it was more useful to meet a commander who knew people and used them well, which was more useful than the soldiers who worked the battlefield to obtain battle achievements.
What we want to talk about today is the same person, he once defeated Guan Yu and defeated Zhang Liao, such a brave and resourceful person did not have a big name in history in the end, because he chose the wrong lord, he is Gao Shun.
Gao Shun originally worked as a soldier under Lü Bu, and Gao Shun had courage and strategy since he was a child, daring to fight and dare to fight, so he was promoted quickly under Lü Bu and was quite appreciated. Gao Shun had his own views on the training methods of soldiers, and the troops under Gao Shun were organized and disciplined, and their combat effectiveness was also very high. Therefore, Lü Bu saw that Gao Shun was a talent who led soldiers, so he handed over to Gao Shun the strongest unit under his command at that time.
Gao Shun also did not live up to Lü Bu's expectations, and he was seriously training every day, and the "trapped camp" was becoming stronger and stronger in Gao Shun's hands. At that time, Lü Bu was defeated, so he found Liu Bei, hoping that Liu Bei could take him in, Liu Bei arranged Lü Bu to Xuzhou, but did not expect that Lü Bu actually occupied the land as king and rebelled against Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's brothers led an army to attack Xuzhou, and met Gao Shun at Xiao Pei, who used his "trapped camp" to beat Liu Bei's army to the point of falling flowers, and even if Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others came on the field, there was no way to reverse the situation. Cao Cao then heard this news and ordered Xiahou Huan to go to the rescue of Liu Bei, but Cao Cao's army was still unstoppable in the face of Gao Shun's steel torrent, and Xiahou Huan was shot blind in one eye during the battle with Gao Shun, and Liu Bei had no choice but to abandon Xiao Pei and go to Cao Cao's army to seek refuge.
We know that during the Three Kingdoms period, Xiahou Huan, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were all well-known generals, but even so, they could not resist Gao Shun's bravery. If you look at Gao Shun's record, there will definitely be a place for him in the history of the Three Kingdoms, but unfortunately, a generation of famous generals is not trusted by the lord, after Cao Cao's army was defeated, Cao Cao personally led troops to attack Lü Bu, and Lü Bu led his troops to defeat three consecutive battles. Lü Bu then insisted that the city be out of the city, and after Cao Cao's army surrounded the city, Gao Shun suggested to Lü Bu that Lü Bu leave the city to cut off Cao Cao's military food and defend the city himself.
The result was that Lü Bu listened to Madame's words, felt that this was inappropriate, and missed a good opportunity to win the victory when he hesitated, and when Cao Cao broke the city, Gao Shun also vowed to die, which was really a generation of loyal and good generals.
The reason why Gao Shun was nameless during the Three Kingdoms period was also because he died young, he became one of the most resentful generals in the Three Kingdoms period, if Lü Bu gave Gao Shun enough trust and let him give a big fist, maybe Lü Bu's future would be rewritten in the future. However, Lü Bu was a reckless lord, so the fundamental reason for Gao Shun's failure was still to follow the wrong lord, if Gao Shun was the subordinate of Liu Bei Cao Cao and others, it was possible to achieve better battle achievements, and he was really the most condescending military general.
