In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Liu Bei are brothers in love, and their feelings are very good. In Liu Bei's life, he also met many nobles, such as Zhuge Liang. Without him, it would have become very difficult to establish the Shu kingdom. Everyone knows that Zhang Fei's combat strength in the Three Kingdoms is very high, ranking second. Zhang Fei once fought with Lü Bu for 100 rounds, and did not distinguish between victory and defeat, which also means that Zhang Fei's combat effectiveness is not low.
Zhang Fei later had a son named Zhang Bao. Naturally, he also inherited his father's martial arts value. However, unfortunately, Zhang Bao's life expectancy is not long, and in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Bao's biography has only two words: "early death", which means that he has died before he has reached adulthood. So, what level does his real combat strength belong to? And why did his death cause Zhuge Liang to vomit blood and pass out?
According to records, in 219 AD, Eastern Wu decided to take Jingzhou, and after spending two years preparing, Liu Bei planned to raise an army to recruit Wu, and in the process of preparing for this matter, Zhang Fei was unfortunately killed by the rebels. Later, his son Zhang Bao took over his father's team on the Eastern Crusade, and at the Battle of Yidu, Zhang Bao defeated Xie Jing and Li Yi. During this battle, he was slightly wounded due to being attacked by archers.
Later, he captured the Wu general Cui Yu and beheaded the Wu general Xia Ke at the Battle of Yiling. When Han Dang, Zhou Tai, and others saw this situation, they did not dare to face the battle and hid in the camp. It can be said that the Battle of Yiling is where Zhang Bao became famous. It can be seen that Zhang Bao's combat strength in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is high, and his combat ability is strong, that is, he can kill enemy generals and capture enemy troops. However, compared with his father, his combat strength level was still far behind, at most it was a medium level, and he also had many people who could not beat it.
In 229, Zhuge Liang decided to carry out the Second Northern Expedition, and Zhang Bao led an army to defeat the Wei generals Guo Huai and Sun Li, and the Wei army was defeated and fled in a panic. At this time, in order to make greater achievements, Zhang Bao planned to ride his horse to chase these people. At this time, he accidentally fell into the mountain stream, and worse, his head was broken, and at that time, he still had a breath and was sent back to Chengdu to recuperate, but not long after, Zhang Bao died.
Zhuge Liang was extremely sad about this and vomited blood and fainted. Why did he react so much? That's because Zhang Bao disappeared at a young age, which also made Zhuge Liang's plan to restore the Han Room more difficult, he put all his hopes on the young man's body, and did not expect that Zhang Bao would die unexpectedly, so he would definitely be sad.
This was also an ominous omen for the Han Dynasty, and Zhuge Liang, who believed that things were like gods, also knew this in his heart, and after that, he was eager to attack his heart and could not afford to be ill. At the time of the death of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang had never had such a situation, which showed the importance of Zhang Bao in his mind.
