Foreword: As far as the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is concerned, Lü Bu is a first-class warrior, and his ability to single out belongs to the super first-class. In addition to Lü Bu, people like Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and others are also enemies of all people, and their strength is second only to Lü Bu. In the fifth episode of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are two wonderful fights, namely Guan Yu chopping Huaxiong, and the three Ying Battle Lü Bu. The two battles ended in Guan Yu's "WenJiu Chopping Huaxiong" and Liu Guan Zhang Sanying's defeat of Lü Bu.
Just imagine, if Zhang Fei fought Huaxiong before the Fenshui Pass, and Guan Yu fought Lü Bu before the Tiger Prison Pass, what would be the result?
Guan Yu became famous in a battle, which made a young general who was originally just a horse archer start to rise to fame. Before Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong had already killed a number of princes in a row, none of the princes dared to single out Hua Xiong, and finally with Guan Yu's self-recommendation, Cao Cao let Guan Yu fight with the intention of trying it out, and Guan Yu beheaded Hua Xiong within a few rounds.
Although Guan Yu chopped Huaxiong not a second kill, but the process was relatively relaxed, it can be seen that the gap in martial arts between Guan Yu and Huaxiong is still relatively obvious, but from the description of "the drums outside Guan are loud and loud, such as the collapse of the sky and the earth, the mountain collapse of Yue", and so on, it can be seen that the fierceness of the battlefield, Huaxiong is really not easy to kill.
If Zhang Fei went out to kill Huaxiong, the result was estimated that he could also behead Huaxiong under the horse. Because Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are also enemies of the character. Unlike Guan Yu, Zhang Fei's ability to continue to fight is very strong, and few people can fight with Zhang Fei for more than fifty rounds, except for Ma Chao and Lü Bu.
Zhang Fei was able to fight with Lü Bu for more than a hundred rounds without winning or losing, and this single challenge performance had obviously surpassed any other martial artist. Secondly, Zhang Fei against some generals with slightly weaker martial arts is basically the level of second kill, not dragging mud and water, such as Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling and others, and Guan Yu's thirty rounds of battle are not divided into victory and defeat, and zhang Fei is killed in seconds after less than ten rounds, indicating that Zhang Fei can defeat the enemy in one move under special circumstances.
Secondly, Zhang Fei was not afraid of Huaxiong, and when the second brother Guan Yu asked for battle, Zhang Fei was also full of confidence in Guan Yu, believing that Guan Yu would inevitably kill Huaxiong. After returning from Guan Yu's beheading of Huaxiong, Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu making meritorious contributions, and for the next opponent, Lü Bu, Zhang Fei took the initiative to fight Lü Bu. It is reasonable to say that Lü Bu is much more powerful than Huaxiong, but after Zhang Fei saw Gongsun Zhan defeated Lü Bu, he dared to face the difficulties, save Gongsun Zhan, and fight Lü Bu, indicating that Huaxiong was not qualified enough in his eyes, and killing Lü Bu could show his true ability.
Combining the above, it may be concluded that if Zhang Fei fights Huaxiong, he may be able to cut more quickly than Guan Yu, because Zhang Fei can quickly defeat himself in the face of an opponent who is weaker than himself. And Guan Yu's explosive power is strong, and he can defeat Huaxiong, perhaps with the kind of overwhelming momentum in his first few rounds, he cut Huaxiong hard.
In the Tiger Prison Guan Sanying Battle of Lü Bu, Zhang Fei, who appeared first, fought with Lü Bu for fifty rounds without distinction between victory and defeat, this battle was enough to prove that Zhang Fei was the second fierce general at that time, and the previous princes such as Wu Anguo, Gongsun Zhan and others were actually not weak, but the fight with Lü Bu was quickly defeated, and Zhang Fei could withstand Lü Bu for fifty rounds.
If when Sanying fought Lü Bu, the first person to appear was not Zhang Fei but Guan Yu, what would be the result? Judging from the final result, it should be similar, Guan Yu could not defeat Lü Bu, that was for sure. But can Guan Yu stick to fifty rounds like Zhang Fei? Obviously, it is still a bit difficult, because Guan Yu is not good at protracted battles.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes the confrontation between Lü Bu and Guan Zhang as follows:
Lü Bu saw this, abandoned Gongsun Zhan, and fought Zhang Fei. Flying spirits, fighting Lü Bu. More than fifty consecutive fights, regardless of victory or defeat. Yun Chang saw it, slapped the horse, and danced eighty-two pounds of green dragon and moon knives to attack Lü Bu. Three martins fight. The battle reached thirty, and the battle could not defeat Lü Bu.
If Lü Bu knew that Guan Yu was fighting, he would inevitably raise his spirit to fight Guan Yu, because the original Guan Yu had let Lü Bu be more or less threatening, so he did not dare to take the enemy lightly when he learned that the opponent was so strong. In the case of Lü Bu showing 100% strength, Guan Yu's engagement will be very difficult, and he may lose to Lü Bu after twenty rounds.
Because Zhang Fei and Lü Bu insisted on being undefeated for fifty rounds, Guan Yu went to help and played with Lü Bu again for thirty rounds, which showed that Guan Yu's arrival made Lü Bu subconsciously show his true ability, and neither of them could pose a threat to Lü Bu, Lü Bu faced Guan Yu alone, and Guan Yu's results could be imagined.
Guan Yu first fought with Lü Bu, Guan Yu was definitely unable to defeat Lü Bu, because Guan Yu's courage was not as strong as imagined, and the speed of the Red Rabbit Horse occupied a certain advantage, and the Tiger Prison closed the Red Rabbit Horse in Lü Bu's hands. Secondly, Guan Yu Zhang Fei only played Lü Bu a draw, and Zhang Fei played a total of eighty rounds, and the biggest contributor to Lü Bu's draw was Zhang Fei, not Guan Yu. If Guan Yu faced Lü Bu alone, I believe that he could not withstand Zhang Fei's time, and Zhang Fei would immediately go to help Guan Yu fight Lü Bu together.
epilogue
Guan Yu, who did not have the blessing of the Red Rabbit Horse, should be slightly worse than Zhang Fei, if Zhang Fei fought Huaxiong first, he might kill faster than Guan Yu, and Guan Yu fought Lü Bu first, perhaps losing to Lü Bu twenty rounds.
