During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many heroes, not only Liu Bei had five tiger generals under him, but also cao Cao's army also had five sons and good generals. But when it comes to the first military general of the Three Kingdoms, the first thing that people think of is Lü Bu. Although Lü Bu was scolded by Zhang Fei as a "family slave with three surnames", he was straddled in a red rabbit horse and held a Fang Tian painting halberd, and he looked like he had the courage of a thousand men. Therefore, it is often said: "Lü Bu among men, red rabbit among horses." However, according to the statistics of some good deeds, Lü Bu did not kill any generals in his life. So how did he get honored as the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms?
First of all, Lü Bu is tall and gives people the feeling of being invincible. According to historical records, Lü Bu was a long man. In the Han Dynasty, a foot was roughly equivalent to 21.35 centimeters now, so Lü Bu's height was about two meters, three or four. As we all know, Yao Ming's official height is 2.26 meters, so Lü Bu is likely to be taller than Yao Ming. Such a big man, riding a tall horse like a red rabbit, rushing from the opposite side, I am afraid that it will put pressure on the enemy general like a mountain. So from a psychological point of view, many people feel that they can't win Lü Bu.
Secondly, the background of the opponent. In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lü Bu and Liu Bei's three brothers fought in a battle at Tiger Prison Pass. Although it was defeated in the end, it was after all one against three. And the heroic image of Guan Yu's warm wine beheading Huaxiong and passing five levels and cutting off six generals has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Such a powerful figure, plus Zhang Fei and Liu Bei, can defeat Lü Bu, which shows how strong Lü Bu's combat effectiveness is. In the course of the Eighteenth Route Princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo, the first person Lü Bu fought with was the long-established Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Zhan personally fought Lü Bu, but fled back in defeat within a few rounds. This also shows from the side that Lü Bu's combat effectiveness is higher than that of ordinary famous generals.
In the end, he never got injured in years of fighting. In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhao Yun was highly sought after by people because in the process of saving Ah Dou in Changshanpo, seven in and seven out were not injured. He also made his name Changshan Zhao Zilong. But what caused this result was Cao Cao's love for talent. Cao Cao could not bear the fall of a famous general like Zhao Yun, so he ordered his subordinates to be merciful. Otherwise, even if Zhao Yun's martial arts were high, under the condition of heavy encirclement, he would not be able to retreat completely.
And every time Lü Bu faced an opponent who wanted his life, it was impossible to release water for him. Under such circumstances, Lü Bu was able to do so without getting injured every time, which was really a miracle. In the Three Kingdoms, the only one who can do this can find a second person. Of course, in addition to the above factors, Lü Bu can become the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, and it depends on the beautification and publicity of the novel. Because in the novel, Lü Bu's position is a traitor. Only when he is invincible can he highlight the perseverance and effort of the protagonist.
