The "Three Kingdoms and Twenty-Four Generals" ranking, which is widely circulated, readers can recite it backwards like a stream, but remove Lü Bu and Cao Wei Eastern Wu famous generals, leaving only the Shu Han generals, we have found a problem - according to this arrangement, the ranking of the martial arts of the five tiger generals of the Shu Han Dynasty has become one Zhao Yun, two Guan Yu, three horses, four Zhang Fei and five Huang Zhong, is this ranking fair?
The ranking basis of the "Thirty-Four Generals of the Three Kingdoms" is the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" rather than the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and of course, it is not the "Three Kingdoms Zhi Ping dialect" that appears earlier than the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" - in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" pingjiao, on the second day of the Three Ying Battle Lü Bu, Zhang Fei single-handedly did not want Liu Bei Guanyu to help, and killed Lü Bu in sixty rounds. ”
According to the "Three Kingdoms Zhiping Dialect", Zhao Yun, like Lü Bu, lost to Zhang Fei after sixty rounds, but Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were not Huang Zhong's opponents. Guan Yu Zhang Fei plus Wei Yan, the three of them fought Huang Zhong, only slightly prevailed, after the war horse was slashed, Huang Zhong "wheel knife infantry battle three generals", Guan Yu also could not help but applaud: "This is a big husband, there is nothing in the world!" ”
There is no Ma Chao and Zhang Fei fighting against Ye Mengguan in the "Three Kingdoms Zhiping Dialect", it was Wei Yan Wei Wenchang who beat Ma Chao to defeat and put cold arrows, and it was Yi Jibo who persuaded Ma Chao to surrender.
The ranking of the "Twenty-Four Generals of the Three Kingdoms" is not based on the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which can only be the most widely circulated "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the full name of the book is actually "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", that is, the "Reportage Edition" of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
According to the description of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, later generations summed up the ranking of the "Twenty-four Generals of the Three Kingdoms": One Lü, Two Zhao, Three Dianwei, Four Passes, Five Horses, Six Zhang Fei, Huang (Zhong) Xu (Chu) Sun (Ce) Tai (Shi Ci), Two Xiahou (惇, Yuan), Er Zhang (Liao, Gao) Xu (Huang), Pang (De) Gan (Ning) Zhou (Tai) Wei (Yan), Zhang Xiu and Wen (Ugly) Yan (Liang), although brave and helpless. Twenty-four generals of the Three Kingdoms, the last Deng Ai and Jiang Wei.
This ranking is not fair, Wen Ugly Yan Liang ranked after the Two Xiahou and the Two Zhang Xu Huang, it is obviously inappropriate: these five people working together may not be able to win Yan Liang Wen Ugly, Xu Huang was first killed by Yan Liang in twenty rounds, and then beaten by Wen Ugly to hold his head.
Yan Langwen ugly Zhang Guo Zhang Liao should be ranked and do not care about him, let's use the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a basis to talk about the ranking of the five tigers of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Huang Zhong ranked seventh in the big ranking and fifth in the Five Tigers of shu Han, and Guan Yu was ashamed to be with Huang Zhong. If Liu Bei had made Guan Yu a Wei general, a che riding general, a hussar general, or even a general of the hussar when he ascended to the throne of Hanzhong, he would have gladly accepted it -- don't think that Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, did not have the right to be a general of the three dukes, and in the chaotic era of the late Han Dynasty, Liu Bei did not do the transgression thing once or twice: he and Sun Quan Liu Zhang blew their horns and lifted the palanquin with each other, and gave himself a large number of titles such as Jingzhou Mu, Grand Sima Lingsi Lieutenant, Yizhou Mu, Hanzhong Wang, and even Sun Quan was also named (pushed) by him as a Che Riding General. They didn't care if Liu Xie, the Great Han Heavenly Son, approved it or not.
Huang Zhong ranked fifth among the five tigers, but in the Battle of Changsha, if he only talked about martial arts, it was obvious that Huang Zhong had won: on the first day, the knife was against the knife, and the prime-aged Guan Yu beat the elderly Huang Zhong without winning or losing; the next day Guan Yu cheated and wanted to use the dragging knife plan, if Huang Zhong came to his back with an arrow, Guan Yu hung on the spot; on the third day, Huang Zhong could shoot Guan Yu and deliberately shot the helmet.
The three-day battle showed that Huang Zhong's sword technique was on par with Guan Yu's, and his physical strength was not inferior, and he was completely superior to Guan Yu in archery technology.
Guan Yu and Huang Zhong's ranking is unfair, is it fair for Ma Chao to rank ahead of Zhang Fei?
The two most boastful battles in Ma Chao's life are the Tongguan Weishui Battle Xu Chu and the Ye Meng Guan Battle Zhang Fei, these two fights actually ended in a draw: "(After two hundred rounds of the great war) the two fought for more than thirty times, and Chu Fenwei raised his knife and cut Ma Chao. Super flashed, a shot at Chu's heart stabbed. Chu abandoned the knife and grabbed the gun. Two grabbed guns on horseback. Xu Zhuli was so powerful that with a loud bang, he broke the barrel of his gun and beat him on the horse with half a knot. ”
In the Battle of Ma Chao in Ye Meng Guan, Zhang Fei also took the lead in sneaking with a flying hammer when he saw that he could not win - if Ma Chao had already taken the advantage in the two-gun duel, he would not make such a decision to laugh generously.
Xu Chu was sober and Ma Chao fought two hundred and thirty rounds without winning or losing, after drinking some wine, he was picked off by Zhang Fei in a few rounds, and basically withdrew from the battlefield since then, it can be seen that Xu Chu is not drinking, nor can he beat Zhang Fei - Xu Chu is drinking and eating meat when the sun is pressing on the mountain, and he only met Zhang Fei after the second (nine o'clock in the evening), and should have been drunk for most of the time.
On the whole, Ma Chao's record is not as good as Zhang Fei's, but he ranks ahead of Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong among the twenty-four generals of the Three Kingdoms, which seems to be difficult to convince the public.
Ma Chao should not be in front of Zhang Fei Huang Zhong, and Guan Yu seems even less so: Guan Yu's best record is to cut off Yan Liang and wen Ugly, but he has the upper hand slightly in the thirty rounds of the battle with Yuan Shu's number one general Ji Ling, and Zhang Fei killed Ji Ling, which only took ten rounds - it is inaccurate to say that Guan Yu had reservations when he fought Ji Ling, because at that time Liu Bei had already completely turned his face with yuan shu who had trespassed, and was determined to defeat Yuan Shu and seize his territory and people, and if Guan Yu could kill Ji Ling with ten swords, he would never drag to the eleventh sword.
In such a comparison, the ordering of Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong was all chaotic, and if Zhao Yun was counted in, it would be even more chaotic: Wen Ugly and Zhao Yun fought for fifty or sixty rounds without winning or losing, but they were cut away by Guan Yu's three knives, and the result was not as fast as Guan Yu's horse, and Wen Ugly also lost his head in confusion like Yan Liang.
We can imagine this: if Wen Ugly had not already fought with Zhang Liaoxu huang for a bit of fatigue and timidity, if Yan Liang had been defensive, as long as he supported thirty rounds under Guan Yu's knife, the chance of saving his life would become one hundred percent.
The duel between the three martial generals, just like the "tiger eats chicken, chicken eats insects, insects eat sticks, sticks fight tigers" played when we were children, A wins against B, B wins against C, and C may win against A - Xu Chu and Ma Chao are undefeated for two hundred and thirty rounds, but when they join forces with Xu Huang, they are repelled by Guan Yu alone: "There is Xu Huang on the left, Xu Chu on the right, two teams of armies intercept the road, Guan Gong seizes the road and leaves, and the ambush troops on both sides line up a hundred hard crossbows, and the arrows are like flying locusts." Guan Gong could not pass, and the soldiers returned, and Xu Huang and Xu Chu caught up with the battle. Guan Gong struggled to kill the two. ”
Zhao Yun was inexperienced in the battlefield at the beginning, so he did not take down Wen Ugly in a short period of time, when the Battle of Yang Changsaka, Zhao Yun was like unlocking the seal, people blocked the killing god to block the killing god, Zhang Guo Xu Huang dared to duel with Guan Yu Zhang Fei, and he could also join hands to trap the veteran general Huang Zhong, but when he saw Zhao Yun, he did not even have the courage to fight: "Yun shouted loudly, straightened his gun and rushed to the horse, killed into a heavy siege, rushed left and right, like entering no man's land." The gun was full of flowers, like dancing pear blossoms; all over the body, like drifting snow. Zhang Gao and Xu Huang were terrified and did not dare to meet the enemy. ”
The martial arts ranking of the Five Tigers of the Shu Han Dynasty is like a set of incomprehensible nine rings, no matter how to explain, it will go to a dead end, if you let ten readers rate these five people, there will be at least eight results, and it is a public saying that the public is reasonable and the wife is reasonable, and everyone has a certain basis.
The author does not take the plunge, throwing bricks and leading jade to put forward an immature opinion: based on the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the martial arts of the Five Tigers of the Shu Han Dynasty should be Zhao Yun Zhang Fei tied for the first place, and Huang Zhongguan Yu Ma Chao is slightly inferior.
If Lü Bu Xu Chu were to rank the martial arts of the Five Tigers of shu Han, they would definitely think that Zhang Fei was the strongest; in Zhang Guo's view, it was Zhao Yun who was the most terrible; Xiahou Yuan's nine springs would also rank Huang Zhong first.
The famous generals of the Three Kingdoms who fought with the Five Tigers of the Shu Han Dynasty are still inconsistent, and the author naturally does not dare to argue, so he finally had to ask the kings: In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", who will be the highest martial artist of the Five Tigers of the Shu Han Dynasty? The bottom of the ranking can not always be Guan Yu or Ma Chao, right?
