Famous strategists of the Three Kingdoms period included Wolong, Fengyan, Qilin, Tsukasa Tiger, Ghost Talent, poisoner and so on. These people casually pulled one out, they were at least the figures of the second-in-command in the army, and Wolong Zhuge Liang had already divided the world into three parts. Sima Yi of TsukaHu was even more proud of the world, and he killed the three generations of Cao Wei leaders, and finally acted expediently to seize the power of Cao Wei in one fell swoop. And, the ghost talent Guo Jiana was even more incredible, for Cao Cao Ping Lü Bu, Ding Yuan Shao, Ping Liaodong.
And the poisoner Jia Xu? He was even more terrifying, defeating Cao Cao several times in the Battle of Wancheng, making Guo Jiadu anxious, and the poisoners could eventually accompany Cao Cao, and Boss Cao had to give him the high-ranking official Houlu! Compared with these strategists, the military generals in the Three Kingdoms period were much more realistic. They, based on force and guided by pattern, ultimately helped the Lord to set the city and compose a good story.
In the Three Kingdoms period, the famous generals were like clouds, but in terms of merit and fame, influence, sense of achievement and other comprehensive factors, only the following few people can rank in the top ten. Next, let's take a look at who is the tenth ranked player?
10th place: Cao Zhen
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Zhen was the righteous son of Cao Cao. Perhaps many people do not know that cao zhen is actually Cao Cao's righteous son, I am afraid that Lü Bu did not understand until his death, why Cao Cao did not agree to accept Lü Bu as a righteous son, it turned out that Cao Boss already had a righteous son. Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Cao Zhen Zi Dan, Taizu Zi Ye. Taizu mourned that he was lonely and adopted with his sons, so that he could stop with Emperor Wen. This information is really a fierce material, I believe many people do not know, it turns out that Cao Cao still has a righteous son.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Cao Zhen is just a "nest of waste", but in real history, is Cao Zhen really a useless person? The answer is no, in fact, when he attacked Dong Zhuo, Cao Zhen had already become a fierce general under Cao Cao. How fierce is Cao Zhen? In the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, there is such a record: often hunted, driven by tigers. Gu shot the tiger and fell in response. Taizu strengthened his dove bravery and made the general tiger and leopard ride. What do you mean by that? Quite simply, it is said that during a hunt, Cao Zhen and the others were chased by the fierce tiger behind, when Cao Zhen directly took out a bow and arrow and shot the tiger to death on the spot. Subsequently, Cao Zhen was promoted to the title of "Marquis of Lingshouting" and commanded Cao Cao's tiger and leopard ride.
In 228, Cao Zhen preemptively dispatched Hao Zhao to slender fortifications at Chen Cang, successfully fending off Zhuge Liang's sudden Northern Expedition. At that time, all of Hao Zhao's military defenses at Chen Cangcheng were built in accordance with Cao Zhen's will, and many people at that time did not expect that Zhuge Liang would organize soldiers and horses to carry out the second Northern Expedition again after experiencing the defeat of the first Northern Expedition. However, Cao Zhen thought of it.
In short, Cao Zhen is the core figure in the Cao Wei Group. After Cao Pi ascended to the throne, Cao Zhen took office with a festival and was appointed as the general of Zhenxi, becoming the most powerful person in Cao Wei's army. Defeating Wu in the south, defeating Zhuge Liang, and becoming Cao Pi's trusted vassal, is cao zhen really a nest of waste?
Ninth place: Wei Yan
Speaking of Wei Yan, he was not an ordinary person, nor was he an ordinary person able to control him. At that time, the Shu Han official Yang Ju made such an evaluation of Wei Yan, "The chief of the literature is just rough, he is facing unbearable life, he is breaking the foreign palace, and the town is protecting the borders", which means that he Wei Yan is an out-and-out general and a famous general of a generation. However, his personality is somewhat similar to Guan Yu.'s.
Wei Yan was plucked by Liu Bei, and when Liu Bei went to Xiangyang, Wei Yan planned to defect to Liu Bei. However, Wei Yan was serving in Jingzhou at that time. Fortunately, in the end, Wei Yan went into exile in Changsha, and in the end, he was still pocketed by Liu Bei. Liu Bei is a person who has nothing else, but he is the best at identifying talents. At that time, Liu Bei pleaded with Zhuge Liang with a hard scalp, saying that Wei Yan was a person you had better keep for me. He was definitely a dark horse, and later, Wei Yan really made a great contribution to Liu Bei.
At the Time of the Battle of Jinchuan, Wei Yan was also a pioneer and won the first merit. After the Battle of Hanzhong, he even defended Hanzhong for Liu Beizhen, taking the lead in proposing and implementing the "law of wrongly guarding the sieges", which not only governed Hanzhong in an orderly manner, but also made Cao Wei's soldiers and horses look away. Subsequently, during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he put forward the famous "Meridian Valley Conspiracy", and broke Fei Yao and Guo Huai, which made Sima Yi afraid. If Zhuge Liang boldly adopted the Meridian Valley strategy proposed by Wei Yan, I think the battle situation may not be a big defeat.
However, a black horse general like Wei Yan was wrongfully killed in the end, and he really died a nest.
Eighth place: Zhang Fei
The eighth famous general in the Three Kingdoms period was Zhang Fei, the famous General of the Shu Han Dynasty Zhang Fei his life can be said to be quite legendary, in dangyang to block Cao Jun, a big drink made Cao Cao's hands more than a dozen first-class fierce generals dare not move! Moreover, when helping Liu Bei to advance into Yizhou, he also used the means to collect Yan Yan, providing An irreplaceable role in promoting Liu Bei's complete occupation of Yizhou.
In addition, defeating Zhang Gao at Wakou Pass, Ye Meng Guan played a draw with Ma Chao, and before that, he dared to fight Lü Bu alone. However, in history, Zhang Fei's ability to cure the aftermath is actually not much reflected, and more is the description of his force value.
After Liu Bei laid a firm foothold in Hanzhong, Zhang Fei's main town was Langzhong, which was in a special position, and could immediately march east, support Hanzhong at any time, and turn around and return to Chengdu at any time. However, Liu Bei arranged Zhang Fei in Langzhong, in fact, the main purpose was to make Zhang Fei a flexible and confidential force of Shu Han, and wherever he was needed, he Zhang Fei would appear wherever he was needed.
However, after Guan Yu's death, Zhang Fei actually did not live alone for long. He died under his own fiery temper. Therefore, although Zhang Fei is a generation of famous generals in the Three Kingdoms period, his ranking is still a little bit different from that of the real generals and the generals who can really be on their own.
Seventh place: Lu Xun
Lu Xun, the fourth governor of Eastern Wu, was very capable and very calm in the face of trouble, often able to use his own strengths to defeat the weaknesses of his enemies. In that year, Liu Bei led a large army to attack Eastern Wu, but in the end he was defeated by Lu Xun. Let Liu Bei not be able to take revenge, but also let Liu Bei think bitterly, and finally died in the White Emperor City.
In the Battle of Yiling, Lu Xun first adopted the expedient strategy of "the enemy advancing and we retreating." Then, we will adopt the strategy of "the enemy is tired and we will fight" and take the initiative to attack. In fact, when Lu Xun decided to counterattack Liu Bei, he had already summed up Liu Bei's life and military methods, and Lu Xun believed that Liu Bei always won fewer and lost more battles in his lifetime. In fact, Liu Bei didn't use strategy very well. At first, Liu Bei advanced on land and water, which was indeed unstoppable by Lu Xun, so he could only retreat, and later, Liu Bei abandoned his boats and all chose to use infantry, which was tantamount to self-destruction, so Lu Xun attacked decisively.
In addition to defeating Liu Bei, Lu Xun also successfully tricked Cao Xiu into using the tactic of "using false chaos to confuse the truth" in the Battle of Shiting, "Wu Lu": The fake Lu Xun Huang Yu, Wu Lord personally held the whip to see it. It can be seen that in Sun Quan's heart, Lu Xun's position is not at all below that of Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others. Later, due to the success of Lu Xun's strategy, he killed more than 10,000 people and horses brought by Cao Xiu at Shiting, and after this battle, Cao Xiu also died of anger.
On the whole, Lu Xun is an absolutely qualified commander and a famous general.
Sixth place: Deng Ai
At the end of the Three Kingdoms period, the same is the Shuai Dou Formation, the General Fighting Strategy. And Deng Ai was the brightest general star in the post-Three Kingdoms period, he repeatedly blocked the Northern Expedition of Zhuge Liang's beloved jiang Wei, and the most noteworthy thing about Deng Ai's life is that he successfully captured Liu Chan. However, the only thing Deng Ai did not do well was to be too proud of his achievements, and he personally gave the generals and princes of Shu Han the title of officials directly in the name of the imperial court. It's really too unauthentic and unruly.
However, Deng Ai's ability to lead the army is still very outstanding. In his early years, he mainly governed the Western Wei state, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Ai thought that "the field is small and watery, not enough to make the best of the land, it is advisable to open the river canal, you can divert water to water, accumulate military food, and transport the way of Cao." It can be seen through historical data that Deng Ai's level is definitely higher than Jiang Wei's. At that time, Deng Ai proposed the Tun Tian system, and diverted water from the Yellow River into Huaishui and Yingshui, Yingnan and Yingbei, thus building many Pitian. Later, Cao Wei's military food was more and more, and there was no situation like the Shu Han, where there was always a shortage of military food.
And Deng Ai's ability to lead troops is needless to say. The shu Han general was a descendant of Zhuge Liang, that is, Jiang Wei, who only paid attention to military and strategy in his life, but Jiang Wei could not take advantage of Deng Ai in the slightest. What does this mean? "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Two years, refused Jiang Wei to the Great Wall, and Wei returned. In the later period of Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, it was basically Deng Ai who led troops to prevent him from continuing to advance. In addition to the reasons for the strength of Shu Han, jiang Wei, the commander- did not have a good way to deal with Deng Ai.
Fifth place: Jiang Wei
Jiang Wei was originally a General of Cao Wei, but during Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, he was subdued by Zhuge Liang and became a general of the Shu State. Zhuge Liang found that Jiang Wei was flexible in his use of soldiers and had a great talent for leadership, so he deliberately trained Jiang Wei as his successor. Zhuge Liang had always taken Jiang Wei with him in several Northern Expeditions, and Jiang Wei also lived up to Zhuge Liang, and finally his actual combat experience was improved.
In 253, after the death of several shu han governors, Jiang Wei began his military career. He formally took over Zhuge Liang's unfinished Northern Expedition strategy, but unfortunately, the later lord Liu Chan had no one to restrain him and lacked the discipline of a father like Zhuge Liang. In the later period, Liu Chan was close to eunuchs and lax in government, resulting in a great reduction in the national strength of the Shu state.
Jiang Wei's use of troops on the front line required the continuous expansion of grain, grass, ordnance, and troop strength, but this was a natural shortcoming for the Shu state. In the end, Jiang Wei was defeated by Liu Chan's ignorance, because when Jiang Wei learned the news that Zhong Hui would cut Shu, he immediately reported to Liu Chan. It was only Liu Chan, who listened to Huang Hao's opinion, and did not take defensive measures at the first time.
Later, the army led by Jiang Wei had to surrender to Zhong Hui. Although the plot against zhonghui, in the end, Kuang Fu Han's plan ended in failure!
Fourth place: Zhou Yu
The fourth general of the Three Kingdoms period was Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu can be said to be the ancestor of Eastern Wu's military use, when Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce around in the conquest and helped Sun Ce almost unify the six counties of Jiangdong.
In 208 AD, Zhou Yu proposed the strategy of Chibi to resist Cao, and judging from the strategic ideas proposed by Zhou Yu, he was a perfect general and commander. First of all, Zhou Yu pointed out that Cao Cao's soldiers were mostly northerners, and their water and soil were not satisfied, even if there were 200,000 soldiers and horses, the maximum number of troops and horses was actually 100,000 or so.
In addition, Ma Chao and Han Sui could be Cao Cao's troubles. As long as he let the wind say that Ma Chao and Han Sui had a different move, Cao Cao would inevitably be distracted. Secondly, Cao Cao collected tens of thousands of troops from Liu Biao before, and the military heart had not yet been annexed to Cao Cao. Therefore, even if Cao Cao counts down, tens of thousands of troops can really fight and die!
After Zhou Yu analyzed for Sun Quan, Sun Quan immediately said such a sentence. "Loneliness and old thieves are inseparable", this is Sun Quan's real determination to completely tear his face with Cao Cao. Later, Zhou Yu took the lead in cooperating with Liu Bei's men and horses, and indeed defeated Cao Cao at Chibi. Moreover, Zhou Yu also defeated Cao Ren in Nan County, and then Zhou Yu proposed a strategic plan to conquer Yizhou. Unfortunately, Zhou Yu did not have time to really implement it at that time, if Zhou Yu really led troops to attack Yizhou, then there would be no Liu Bei in the three kingdoms behind.
Third place: Guan Yu
Ranking third is Guan Yu, who is regarded as the "Martial Saint" by later generations, and it is well known that Zhou Yu Guan Yu's martial arts were among the best in the Three Kingdoms period, in addition to Lü Bu, I am afraid that Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Ma Chao could barely fight with one. But is this really a good thing? In fact, this also led to Guan Yu's arrogant posture.
After the Battle of Chibi, Guan Yu was mainly responsible for defending Jingzhou to achieve Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" strategy, but after Liu Bei fought the Battle of Hanzhong, Guan Yu was so proud that he led the Jingzhou soldiers and horses to attack Cao Ren, and finally was taken advantage of by Eastern Wu to take advantage of the situation and give Jingzhou a pot!
In his lifetime, although Guan Yu can be called a general who is independent, due to personality problems, in the end, he still did not achieve great things. Even if the white horse cuts off Yan Liang, Xiang Fan captures the forbidden, kills Pound, and Wei Zhen Huaxia, so what then? In the end, it returned to dust. The nickname that Liu Chan gave to Guan Yu was called "Marquis of Zhuangmiao", and it can be seen that Liu Chan was still uneasy in his heart about his second uncle Guan Yu.
Second place: Zhang Liao
The second most famous general was Zhang Liao, who was originally a fierce general under Lü Bu, but later became an ace under Cao Cao. In his lifetime, Zhang Liao slashed and broke wuhuan; later, in the Battle of Hefei, he almost captured Sun Quan alive, and even broke through the momentum of the 100,000 troops led by Sun Quan at that time with 800 elite soldiers.
Let the 100,000 troops led by Sun Quan run in vain, and almost capture Sun Quan alive. After the First World War in Hefei, everyone in the world knew Zhang Liao's name. And "Zhang Liao stop crying" has also become a good story passed down through the ages, Zhang Liao can overcome the 100,000 troops led by Sun Quan with only 7,000 people, which is simply unimaginable!
1st place: Lu Meng
So, who is qualified to be the first place in the Three Kingdoms period? This man was perfect, and in his early years he was almost like Wang Ping, the great general of the Shu Han Dynasty, who could not read a few characters. But later, after the advice of his boss, he began to read books, from a blank piece of paper to a full reading of soldiers' books, which made people look at it with astonishment.
And the famous general to be talked about today is also related to an idiom "looking at each other", the protagonist of this idiom is actually the first general of the Three Kingdoms period, that is, Lu Meng. In the early stage, Lü Meng was basically a few brainless heroes, who could not read big characters and did not understand strategy. But later, after listening to Sun Quan's words, he studied hard, and even Lu Su later communicated with him and wanted to consult Lü Meng on how to deal with Guan Yu, lü Meng said at that time. "Although the East and West are one family today, and Guan Yu is really xionghu, can Ji An not be sure?" Because of the five strategies of painting. In fact, during the Lu Su period, Lü Meng had already begun how to try to take Guan Yu. However, at that time, Lu Su did not know that Lu Su was surprised that Lü Meng had such a talent.
Later, Lü Meng became the governor of Eastern Wu, so he took advantage of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition to first adopt the "strategy of false chaos", and then came a strategy of secretly crossing Chen Cang, and finally took Jingzhou, which Guan Yu had been occupying for many years, without bloodshed. What does Lumont's story illustrate? If a general really starts to study and begins to read military books, his potential power is indeed frightening.
In his lifetime, Lü Meng assisted Sun Quan in attacking the city of Anhui, taking three counties, and attacking Jingzhou, making great contributions to the Jiangshan of Eastern Wu.
