Purely from the perspective of force, who is more powerful, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu? Look at the evaluation given by Wei Shu Wu Sanfang, you will fully understand!
Guan Yu and Zhao Yun
Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were the two most concerned generals in the Three Kingdoms, they both belonged to the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, and they were also brilliant, strong in martial arts, and admired by everyone. However, there will always be a stronger martial artist, so between Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, who is more powerful in martial arts?
On this issue, the discussion among netizens has been relatively fierce, many people think that Guan Yu's martial arts are higher, because Guan Yu specializes in killing first-class fierce generals, what Yan Liangwen is ugly, what Huaxiong Pound, has become the soul of his sword, it can be said that Guan Yu is the highest quality of the Three Kingdoms beheading generals! In addition, many people also think that Zhao Yun's martial arts are higher, because Zhao Yun's number of slashes is the largest in the Three Kingdoms! According to statistics, Zhao Yun killed a total of 25 fierce generals during the Three Kingdoms period, ranking first in the Three Kingdoms. Just by the number of slashers, it is enough to prove Zhao Yun's strength!
I have to admit that Zhao Yun and Guan Yu are indeed fierce generals, martial arts are very high, netizens can also find a variety of evidence to prove their views, but in addition to the comparison of netizens, this article tries to compare the martial arts of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun from another angle, this angle is the evaluation of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun by all camps in the Three Kingdoms period, through their evaluation, let's confirm, in the end Guan Yu and Zhao Yun who is more powerful? At that time, those fierce generals were all people of the same era as Guan Yu Zhao Yun, and even they had dealt with Guan Yu Zhao Yun, so we should be able to draw a relatively fair and objective answer from their evaluation!
Cao Wei camp
In the Cao Wei camp, the person who most admired Guan Yu was Cao Cao. When Liu Bei was defeated, Guan Yu was left alone, not Cao Cao's enemy, as long as Cao Cao was willing, Guan Yu would undoubtedly die. However, Cao Cao took a fancy to Guan Yu's martial arts and thought that Guan Yu was a talent who had won the three armies, so he did not want to kill Guan Yu, but planned to take Guan Yu down. So there was the Battle of Tushan, a series of performances of Guan Yu in the Cao camp, and various achievements in slashing the face and the ugly, which made Guan Yu's invincible reputation! Cao Cao admired Guan Yu so much, what was his evaluation of Guan Yu's martial arts?
Original text: Yu Yue: "The chancellor sits in Xuzhou, and allocates an army and horses to lure him, and if Guan Gong goes to war, he will attack it; if the city falls, Guan Gong will capture it." Cao Yue: "Wu Su loves Guan Gong talent martial arts and bravery to win the three armies, I want to get it for my own use." ”
This conversation took place after the defeat of Liu Bei's army, and according to Xun Yu's suggestion, he intended to directly defeat Guan Yu with his troops, but Cao Cao was unwilling. Cao Cao's evaluation of Guan Yu's martial arts was that of "the three armies of martial arts and courage", and he wanted to take Guan Yu for his own use and help him fight the world. Cao Cao's evaluation of Guan Yu's martial arts was that of the three armies of yongguan, so what was his evaluation of Zhao Yun? Let's look at the Battle of Nagasaka Slope.
At that time, Liu Bei was defeated and retreated by Cao Cao, and even his wife and children could not take care of him, but thanks to Zhao Yun's loyalty and returned to the battlefield in time, he successfully rescued Liu Bei's wife and only son. It was in this battle that Zhao Yun showed strong combat effectiveness, and the Cao army besieged him and could not take him down, but was killed by him! This scene made Cao Cao recall Lü Bu's bravery, so Cao Cao made the following evaluation of Zhao Yun's martial arts!
Original text: Hong listened, flew on the horse, and went down the mountain shouting: "Generals in the army, I would like to leave my name and surname!" Zhao Yun responded, "I am Changshan Zhao Zilongye!" Cao Hong returned to Cao Cao, saying, "The Tiger of the World will also be!" If I have this great general, why worry about the world? You can quickly pass on the order, so that the number of rides flying everywhere, such as the dragon everywhere, do not put cold arrows, to catch the live. ”
Cao Cao's evaluation of Zhao Yun was "The Tiger of the World will also be!" If I have this great general, why worry about the world? Cao Cao said that if he got Zhao Yun's help, he was worried about the world's unevenness, what does this mean, this is actually a hint, in Cao Cao's mind, Zhao Yun's combat effectiveness is already enough to rival Lü Bu at that time, with his help, the other fierce generals in the world will not be his opponents, that is to say, Zhao Yun is stronger than Guan Yu!
Judging from Cao Cao's evaluation, we can find that Zhao Yun's martial arts are more powerful than Guan Yu's! So in addition to Cao Cao, how did the other fierce generals in Cao Camp evaluate Guan Yu and Zhao Yun?
In fact, except for Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, Cao Yingzhong would generally be unconvinced of Guan Yu. Xu Chu had suggested that the troops should be led to arrest Guan Yu, and Xiahou Huan at the yellow river crossing had also led people to intercept Guan Yu's way back, and even Cai Yang, who was a cargo like Cai Yang, dared to claim that he could lead his troops to kill Guan Yu, and even on the battlefield of Xiangfan, Xu Huang also fought with Guan Yu for eighty rounds without winning or losing, so it can be seen that Cao Yingzhong will not be afraid of Guan Yu at all!
So the question is, Guan Yu has a record of slashing good looks and cursing wen ugly, why are cao ying generals not afraid of Guan Yu at all? In fact, the reason is very simple, because the reason why Guan Yu was able to kill Yan Liangwen ugly was to raid Jiama Quickly, and if he fought for a long time, Guan Yu might not be able to kill these two people! Friends who are familiar with Guan Yu's achievements are estimated to know Guan Yu's combat characteristics very well, and he is the kind of fierce general who is fierce at the beginning and continues to be poor in the later stage, which is also the characteristic of the heavy weapon such as the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. It is precisely for this reason that we will find that Guan Yu kills the enemy by relying on the first few moves, and after the first few moves, he basically has no certainty of victory!
Cao Yingzhong's generals understood this combat characteristic of Guan Yu, so many military generals began to be unconvinced by Guan Yu, and developed to the back, even Xu Huang dared to single out Guan Yu, which showed that Cao Yingwu would eat Guan Yu thoroughly! However, for Zhao Yun, Cao Ying's military general did not have such a certainty!
Zhao Yun's combat characteristics are very strong! In the Battle of Rangshan, he first fought with Xu Chu, and then successfully withdrew under the siege of Xu Chu, Yu Ban, and Li Dian, after the evacuation, Zhao Yun rushed the road for one night, and after finding Liu Bei, he killed the fierce general Gao Lan in one move, killed the enemy army, and then defeated Zhang Hao in thirty rounds, which surprised everyone! Such a long, high-intensity battle is far from being comparable to Guan Yu!
The Battle of Changshanpo, Zhao Yun's long and continuous fighting, surprised the people of Cao Ying, and since then, Zhao Yun's name has shocked the world and caused a sensation. After this battle, Cao Yingzhong will no longer dare to confront Zhao Yun hard, the Battle of Hanshui, Xu Huang and Zhang Gao join forces, do not dare to besiege Zhao Yun again, compared to single out Guan Yu, Xu Huang's performance in front of Zhao Yun is much worse, from here it can also be seen how much psychological shadow Zhao Yun has caused to Cao Yingzhong!
To put it bluntly, the biggest difference between Zhao Yun and Guan Yu is that the duration of their combat power is different! Guan Yu is a typical high open low walk, the sustainability is not strong, and Zhao Yun has always been relatively strong, even if his previous moves are not as good as Guan Yu, but he has always maintained a strong fighting force, which is also unbearable for the enemy!
Overall, according to the feedback from Cao Cao and Cao Ying's generals, Zhao Yun's martial arts were actually a little more powerful than Guan Yu's!
Eastern Wu camp
Like General Cao Wei, Eastern Wu General showed similar characteristics when facing Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.
After Zhuge Liang killed Zhou Yu, he went to mourn Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu's men prepared to kill Zhuge Liang and avenge Zhou Yu, but when they saw Zhao Yun by Zhuge Liang's side, they did not dare to move.
Original text: Zhou Yubu wanted to kill him, because he saw Zilong with a sword and did not dare to attack.
When Guan Yu went to the meeting with a single knife, there was also a plot in which the Generals of the Wu Army were ready to move.
Original text: Lü Meng and Gan Ning saw that Yun Chang was carrying a large knife in his hand, holding Lu Su personally, for fear of being injured, so he did not dare to move. Yun Grew to the side of the boat, but only then did he let go, standing on the bow of the ship earlier, and bidding farewell to Lu Su.
On the surface, Lü Mengganning did not dare to do anything to Guan Yu, but in fact, the reason why they did not do it was not because they were jealous of Guan Yu's martial arts, but because Guan Yu grabbed Lu Su's hand and was worried that Lu Su would be injured by Guan Yu! In fact, Lü Meng and Lu Xun have always been unhappy with Guan Yu, and they are the most active group of people to deal with Guan Yu! In the end, Guan Yu was indeed planted in the hands of Lü Meng and Lu Xun, and was captured and killed. As soon as the picture turns, we look at the Battle of Yiling, when Liu Bei's army was defeated and the Wu army pursued Liu Bei, Zhao Yun appeared one by one, directly frightening Lu Xun to announce the withdrawal of the army, which was actually enough to draw the conclusion of who was more powerful.
Original text: When Zhao Yun was in Jiangzhou, Chuanzhong, he heard that Wu and Shu were fighting with the troops, so he led the army out; he suddenly saw the fire in the southeast area soaring into the sky, and Yun was frightened, and he visited from afar, not wanting to be trapped by the first lord, and Yun Bravely rushed to kill him. Lu Xunwen was Zhao Yun and urgently ordered the army to retreat.
Judging from the reactions of the Wu generals to Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, we can actually draw such a conclusion, that is, the Eastern Wu people will be more jealous of Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun's martial arts are higher!
Shu Han camp
In the Shu Han camp, Guan Yu was the head of the Five Tiger Generals, but judging from the reactions of all parties, in fact, guan Yu was not Zhao Yun's opponent in terms of force alone!
Before Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, he and Zhang Fei fought a draw, and after Guan Yu heard the news, he said that he was going to go head-to-head with Ma Chao to see who was more powerful! However, we can know from the follow-up that Guan Yu could not beat Pound, but was injured by Pound's deception, Guan Yu is actually not Ma Chao's opponent, because Ma Chao is good at using fraudulent defeat, and Guan Yu's ability to defend arrows is weak! After Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, Zhao Yun's performance shocked Ma Chao!
Original text: Xuan De waited for Ma Chao to eat wine in the city. Before the seat was settled, Zilong had beheaded the two of them and offered them before the feast. Ma Chao was also shocked and doubly respected.
Ma Chao was very surprised by Zhao Yun's reaction to quickly killing the enemy general, and the original text used the word "also shocked", indicating that Liu Bei's men present were all shocked by Zhao Yun's performance, they did not expect zhao Yun's martial arts to reach such a point, they had underestimated Zhao Yun before. After Zhao Yun's performance, Ma Chao was surprised and had great respect in his heart, which can actually show that Ma Chao could not complete Zhao Yun's achievement, otherwise he did not need to be surprised, he could also do things, and what he was surprised, only if he did not bring it, he would be surprised!
Taking Ma Chao as a reference, in fact, we can completely conclude that Zhao Yun's martial arts are stronger than Guan Yu's. And we can confirm this conclusion from Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei's appointment of Zhao Yun. At the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Liang retreated from Zhou Yu and arranged for zhao yun to be the general who received him, the candidate entrusted by Liu Bei to his family was Zhao Yun, Liu Bei went to Jiangdong to marry, and the person who brought him to protect himself was Zhao Yun... All these acts are enough to prove that in the minds of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, although Zhao Yun's military ability is not as good as Guan Yu's, his personal strength is definitely stronger than Guan Yu's, otherwise why don't they bring Guan Yu? You must know that this is all a major event involving their lives!
epilogue
Judging from the evaluation of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun by the three parties of Wei, Shu and Wu, in fact, in terms of martial arts alone, Zhao Yun is a little more powerful than Guan Yu! What do you think about that? Welcome to leave a message to discuss!
