"The people of the Three Kingdoms were uneasy, Eastern Wu and Western Shu Han Zhongyuan, Cao Cao occupied the Central Plains, and Emperor Liu Bei rode in Xichuan." According to the singing method of "Single Knife Society", the lyrics of Honoring Liu Andu Cao inadvertently revealed a message: when Liu Bei Sun Quan was divided into vassals, the Han Room did not die, so who was Han Chen and who was a Han thief was debatable.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei Sun Quan were both worldly tyrants, and those who did not want to be emperors were not good tyrants, and even if they did not want to be, those civilian and military generals who wanted to be the founding fathers of the country would push them forward: "Only when the water rises can the ship be high, and the lord is not called the emperor, how can we be the great simas, the great generals, the chancellors, and the taishi?"
Cao Cao and Liu Bei Sun Quan competed with the deer in the Central Plains to fight a pot of porridge, and often busied themselves with sneaking away the southeast, southwest, and northwest tribes, because although their strength was not enough to swallow the other two in one bite, their fierce generals were like clouds and strategists like rain, beating remote tribes, that is, beating children on rainy days - idle is also idle.
When Lü Bu was alive, he claimed to be the second, and no one dared to call himself the first, whether it was Cao Cao's five sons and good generals, or the Shu Han Five Tiger Generals, or the Twelve Tiger Ministers of Jiang Biao, except for Zhang Fei, no one could single out Lü Bu. Even Guan Yu, who was arrogant and arrogant, was also polite when he saw Lü Bu, and before Lü Buyuan shot the sword, Zhang Fei shouted and shouted to kill, and Guan Yu quickly stopped: "And see what General Lü thinks, then it is not too late to go back to the camp to fight." ”
Zhang Fei saw Lü Bu, a "three-surnamed family slave", and angrily scolded Lü Bu in an equal capacity: "Ring-eyed thief, you have despised me many times!" ”
Zhang Fei often scolded Lü Bu, and Lü Bu seemed to only scold Zhang Fei - in the face of others, Lü Bu was too lazy to return his mouth, and directly poked at it.
Guan Yu did not scold Lü Bu, but after Lü Bu died, Guan Yu saw that everyone was like a bidder selling head. After Lü Bu was hanged by Cao Cao in the White Gate Tower, Guan Yu became the target of everyone, and everyone wanted to use Guan Yu as a stepping stone. Defeating Guan Yu can make a name for himself in the world, and may even be called the "First Fierce General of the Three Kingdoms". So the question we want to discuss today comes out: Among the thousands of famous generals in the Three Kingdoms, who is the world's first fierce general after Lü Bu? Does this title of "the first in the world" really belong to the martial saint Guan Yu Guan Yunchang?
There are very few military generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms, so we have to rely on the novel, so it is easy to find candidates for the Three Kingdoms who have the strength to inherit Lü Bu's laurels: those who are qualified to go hand in hand with Guan Yu are at least Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Xiahou Huan, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang Gao, Xu Chu, Pound, Tai Shi Ci, Gan Ning and other twelve people.
In the Yanyi novel, Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci never fought with Guan Yu, nor did they fight side by side, so they were superior to Guan Yu's martial arts, no one knew, and the Zhengshi record cannot be used as a basis today (our basis today is the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so Tai Shi Ci's divine archery technique, Gan Ning said" "Bao Yu smells my cough, does not dare to wade in the water, wading is my bird" is not mentioned), then you can only grievance Tai Shi Ci GanNing these two famous Eastern Wu generals - Mr. Luo Guanzhong seems to be not very interested in Eastern Wu, All the while letting the Eastern Wu generals play soy sauce in the novel.
Excluding Jiang BiaoHuchen, the remaining ten people are more interesting, almost all of them have fought each other, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei of Taoyuan Jieyi, almost fought with their lives.
Among the remaining three famous generals of the Three Kingdoms who are qualified to compete with Guan Yu for the first place in the world, Guan Yu has three more affordable and two who cannot win, they are Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, and Pound.
When Zhang Liao followed Lü Bu, Guan Yu had an evaluation of him: "This person's martial arts are not under me and Zhang Fei. ”
After Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang, in the face of Cao Cao's almost flattering praise, he also said a more modest sentence: "So-and-so He Foot Daoya! My brother Zhang Yide took the head of a general in a million troops, such as probing the sac to take the ear. ”
Many people say that Guan Yu's eyes are higher than the top, and no one except Liu Bei is convinced, but whether it is the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is recorded that there is a person who is called "big brother" by Guan Yu, and that person is Xu Huang Xu Gongming, who "has the wind of Yafu".
Guan Yu has always looked up to Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, the two people he once looked up to and later turned his face, but he has not won the battle, huang Zhong and Pound.
Readers who have seen the whole process of the battle of Changsha know that Huang Zhong's sword skills are on par with Guan Yu's, archery has the possibility of killing Guan Yu in a second, if Huang Zhong shoots arrows as soon as he comes up, Wei Yan may be promoted to the rank of general of the Five Tigers of Shu Han; Guan Yu was captured by the forbidden beheading of Pang Dewei to shock Huaxia, but the battle of Xiangfan was fought very hard, head-on, and he was never able to take down Pound, and he was also shot by Pound De in the battle -- Guan Yu could not win Xu Huang later, which was also an arrow injury.
Many people think that after Dianwei died, Xu Chu, who could fight with Lü Bu for fifty rounds and two hundred and thirty rounds with Ma Chao, was the well-deserved first fierce general of Cao Ying, but Xu Chu might not even be able to support a hundred rounds in front of Guan Yu in his heyday, which may be because Xu Chu also used a big knife, and played a big knife in front of Guan Gong, that is, it was not interesting to find himself: "Only to hear a cannon sound, there is Xu Huang on the left, There is Xu Chu on the right, the two teams of troops intercept the road, Guan Gong seizes the road and leaves, the ambush troops on both sides line up a hundred hard crossbows, and the arrows are like flying locusts. Guan Gong cannot pass. When the soldiers returned, Xu Huang and Xu Chu caught up with the engagement, and Guan Gong struggled to kill the two. ”
Xu Chu and Xu Huang joined forces, and Guan Yu could not help it, so it can be seen that Guan Yu's martial arts at his peak should also be above Ma Chao.
Even Xu Chu was not Guan Yu's opponent, let alone the other generals in Cao Ying, so after Lü Bu's death, the other four of the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty who could compete with Guan Yu for the position of the first in the world were left.
The author respects Guan Yu very much, and I don't want to elevate Zhao Yun too high, but today, since we are based on the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", then we can't help but say: even if Guan Yu may win Ma Chao, he will not be able to beat Huang Zhong in his heyday, and he may not be Zhang Fei's opponent, as for guan yu and Zhao Yun, it is difficult to say.
In the author's opinion, if it is not Guan Yu but Zhang Fei in Changsha, Huang Zhong is very dangerous: Zhang Fei can also shoot arrows, so Huang Zhong's divine shooting may not be effective for Zhang Fei, under Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear, old Huang Zhong's physical strength may not be able to support - Guan Yu is fierce in the first thirty rounds, and after fifty rounds, the weaker and weaker, and Zhang Fei does not have this problem, his favorite is to "fight three hundred rounds" with others, such an opponent, after Lü Bu died, there is only One Ma Chao left.
If it is fair to single out, Ma Chao is likely to be unable to defeat Zhang Fei, because it was Ma Chao who first felt that the gun and spear duel was difficult to win before casting the dark weapon - the two were fighting in the street, and the person who went to touch the bricks first must have been a little weak-minded.
Among the five tiger generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, the most difficult to evaluate was the brave general Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong. When Zhao Yun first debuted, he fought with Wen Ugly for fifty or sixty rounds without winning or losing, but Zhang Guo, who dared to fight with Guan Yu and trapped Huang Zhong, saw Zhao Yun and ran: "Yun shouted loudly, and the gun suddenly entered the 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. ”
For such a huge contrast between Zhao Yun before and after, we can only use "famous generals grow up in battle" to explain, so "who can compete with Guan Yu for the first place in the world" is left with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. On the strength of martial arts and mighty domineering, it seems that Zhang Fei is better, it will be difficult to select the first place in the Three Kingdoms, but to choose the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, in the author's opinion, this honor is not Zhang Fei, but I don't know if the readers think so?
