As we all know, in history, or through some TV dramas, we all know that it has always been the troops of Shu Han who have been recruiting Cao Wei, and Cao Wei has always been in a passive state, and some people have asked, why does Cao Wei not send troops, but always has to defend? Cao Cao was wounded in the Battle of Chibi that year, and suffered heavy losses in troops, but after nearly ten years of cultivating troops, the army was greatly replenished, but despite this, Cao Cao still did not dare to attack the Shu state, and in the back, we know that he would also unite with other countries to fight against the Shu Han.
According to the history books, Cao Pi took great pains to march into the Shu kingdom in five ways, and Zhuge Liang made a clever calculation, and without losing much troops, he subdued all the troops of the Cao army, and then made them fearful, and then all of them retreated. But when we watched the TV series, we found that there were many exaggerated scenes in it, which did not respect the original history, but catered to the tastes of the audience.
In the first few years, Liu Bei had always focused on Eastern Wu and did not have much energy to attack Shu Han. It was not until a famous general of the Shu state died that the Wei state realized that it was time to conquer the Shu state. And this dead general was Chen Zhi, whose reputation was comparable to that of Zhao Yun. At that time, there was a military team called the BaiYi Soldiers, which was Liu Bei's personal unit, streamlined but armed with martial arts.
For this army, there are not many records in TV dramas and related history books, only according to a sentence in the "Zhuge Liang Collection": To the place, the first emperor under the white eye.
However, what is even more strange is that this person named Chen Zhi, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", can not even find his name, which is surprising. It is reasonable to say that he is Liu Bei's personal general, a martial art, it can be said that he is a rare general, and he can definitely be ten with one, but now his name cannot be found. The reason for this may be only one, that is, because when Luo Guanzhong wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he arranged many famous generals around Liu Bei, and in order to respect the original appearance of history, he had to exclude Chen Zhi's name, which can also be regarded as a grievance against this general.
Chen Zhi's position in history can only be compared with Zhao Yun, and there is a saying that "what can be compared with Zhao Yun is the loyal and courageous General Chen Zhi." When Luo Guanzhong wrote the book, he probably considered that it might be enough to have Zhao Yun, a fierce general, so he had to integrate Chen Zhi's personality characteristics and his heroic deeds into Zhao Yun's body, so that the Zhao Yun we saw was a combination of two people, one was himself, and the other was Chen Zhi.
The personal troops led by Chen Zhi repeatedly rescued Liu Bei from the danger of life and death, and the place responsible for guarding it has always been a place that Cao Wei and Eastern Wu did not dare to covet.
