The Shu Han regime in the Three Kingdoms can be described as a force that the author Luo Guanzhong greatly preferred, not only to Liu Bei's several unparalleled strategists, but also to Liu Bei a group of first-class military generals, the most representative of which was the Five Tigers General Guan Zhang Zhao Ma Huang, of these three Guan Yu Zhang Fei was his brother-in-law, all of whom had the courage of wanfu, and Zhao Yun was a general who had followed him in his early years, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong were more like a representative of balancing various forces at that time.
Among these five people, although one of them has a very high reputation, his strength is very bad, compared with the others, it can be called a rookie level. This person was Huang Zhong, the representative of the Jingzhou faction generals, huang Zhong was only a deputy general of the Jingzhou county level before surrendering to Liu Bei, and in the rendition, he portrayed him as a veteran general who could fight with Guan Yu for dozens of rounds, in order to set off his strength, and later after Liu Bei gained the foundation, he was named one of the five tiger generals, but Guan Yu first expressed his displeasure about this: he was ashamed of being an old guard, so why did he think that Huang Zhong was not qualified?
Then from the performance of several other generals to see, Guan Yu as the first of the five tiger generals, before the division of the five tiger generals has been famous all over the world, killing Yan Liang and other battle achievements are remarkable, Zhang Fei also showed his ability to unify the army in the battle of Brazil, Although Zhao Yun did not command the army, but also has the glory of Changshanpo single riding savior, and Ma Chao is a prince of one side, Cao Cao who was once killed in Weishui cut off his beard and cut off his robe, only Huang Zhong, only the Hanzhong war can be said, but this battle is also full of twists and turns.
First of all, Huang Zhong led tens of thousands of troops to attack the partial division of Zhang Gao, another part of the Hanzhong army of the Cao Army, and even attacked Zhang Gao's camp for more than half a year without successfully breaking through Zhang Gao's camp, but also lost his troops, and later it was Fa Zheng who surprised to attack from Dingjun Mountain to force Zhang Gao to return to the army, and then he was condescending and could not even break through Xiahou Yuan's camp, and finally he could only take advantage of the fact that Xiahou Yuan's troops were insufficient and even personally went out to repair the camp, and led 5,000 people to attack Xiahou Yuan's hundreds of talents to obtain the merit of beheading.
However, although Huang Zhong killed Xiahou Yuan, the main general of the Cao army, and killed him at the gate of the enemy camp, he did not take the opportunity to attack the Cao army's dazhai, so that Zhang Guo still had the ability to regroup the army to fight, and there was sufficient material support to Cao Cao to lead the troops to reinforce, taking out the main force of the Hanzhong Army, losing less than a quarter, it is no wonder that Liu Bei thought that killing Xiahou Yuan was better than killing Zhang Gao.
Judging from this battle alone, Huang Zhong may have been superior in force, but there was still a great deficiency in leading troops, and it can only be said that Liu Bei gave him the title of Five Tiger General in order to balance the many Jingzhou faction forces.
