Jingzhou is the second largest of the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and its geographical location is exactly between Jingshan and Hengshan, hence the name. Jingzhou District administers eight counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Guiyang County, Changsha County, Wuling County, Lingling County, Xiangyang County, and Zhangling County. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Biao, as a relative of the Han Dynasty, ruled the Jingzhou region. There are many talents under his command. Even Cao Cao did not dare to act rashly. Why didn't Cao Cao dare to attack Jingzhou? Look at the five tiger generals under Liu Biao's account, each one is brave and fierce.
Cao Cao defeated the Yuan family, the largest force in the north, unified the north, and also won the expedition to Wuhuan, and the Gongsun clan of Liaodong also submitted to it, and Cao Cao, who was strong and strong, began to prepare for the south. The first obstacle to the south was Liu Biao in Jingzhou, when Cao Cao threatened tianzi to order the princes, the Eastern Han Dynasty existed in name only, but after all, it still existed, Liu Biao, as a relative of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao would not find a suitable reason to send troops for a while and a half. Of course, this is not the biggest reason, the most important thing is that Liu Biao has elite soldiers under him, and his strength is not inferior to Cao Cao.
One of Liu Biao's five tiger generals was Gan Ning, who was originally a bandit, and later defected to Liu Biao and became a major general under Liu Biao. Gan Ning's bravery was no less than any of Cao Cao's military generals, and later Sun Quan compared Gan Ning to Zhang Liao in Cao Cao's camp, which showed its strength. The second of the Five Tiger Generals was Huang Zhong, who went head-to-head with Guan Yu and almost shot Guan Yu with an arrow, and later defected to Liu Bei and was named the General of the Five Tigers of shu Han, making great military achievements. Huang Zhong, under Liu Biao, is in his prime, and his strength is bound to be stronger.
The third of the Five Tigers is the famous general Liu Pan in the Jingzhou region, Liu Pan does not appear much in the rendition, but it is known that he has repeatedly repelled the attacks of sun ce, the little overlord, defended the territory for Liu Biao, and is also a fierce general. Four of the Five Tigers were appointed by Wen Ping, who was Liu Biao's right-hand man, and it is said that this Wen Ping's strength was even stronger than Wei Yan's, and later became a fierce general under Cao Cao, who guarded Jiangxia for many years and resisted many attacks by Eastern Wu. The last one is Huang Zu, huang zu is a veteran general in Liu Biao's camp, as early as the time of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, it was Huang Zu who intercepted and killed Sun Jian halfway, and Huang Zu has always been regarded as the biggest enemy by Eastern Wu. In the end, Huang Zu was also killed by Sun Quan to avenge his father Sun Jian.
In addition to these five tiger generals, Liu Biao's men also had Wei Yan, Li Yan, and others who were relatively young at that time, all of whom were potential stocks, and later bloomed under Liu Bei.
