In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu was definitely a super-first-class general at that time, and yan Liang was stabbed in the Wanma Army, and he was captured by the forbidden pang dewei to shock Huaxia, so that his own limelight overshadowed all the generals under Liu Bei:
"The famous general Wei Yu in Shu".
Although Zhang Fei was also recognized as a ten thousand enemies at that time, he was also satisfied and convinced of Guan Yu:
"Fei Xiong is majestic and mighty, less than Guan Yu, Yu is several years older, and Fei Brother is doing things."
The history of the Three Kingdoms is a bit boring, and readers may not be interested, so let's talk about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms today. Before the Battle of Chibi, Guan Yu had fought with many of Cao Ying's fierce generals, and most of the time they had won complete victories, only one person had fought with Guan Yu three times, but they had not won or lost. At this time, we can't help but ask: When Guan Yu was able to defeat Xu Chu and Xu Huang in the year of fighting, why couldn't he take down another famous general of Cao Ying?
A closer look at the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will find that this famous cao ying general is actually underestimated by everyone: he once singled out Lü Bu undefeated in the Battle of Puyang, and did not lose three battles with Guan Yu.
Lesser-known generals like the Five Levels and Six Generals Cai Yang Che, we will not mention them today, because mentioning these people will not show Guan Yu's prestige, like this small miscellaneous fish, Zhao Yun in the Changshan Slope Prancing Horse gun and sword, at one time killed more than fifty.
The reason why we set the time before the Battle of Chibi is because after Guan Yu oversaw Jingzhou, on the one hand, it was already past the age of fighting, people were not able to use their bones and bones, and coupled with the fact that the case was only concerned with approving documents and had no time to practice martial arts, the combat effectiveness had been sharply reduced, which would be bullied by Pound De Xu Huang.
One day without practicing, slow hands and feet, three days without practicing, becoming a layman. As the commander of the front, Guan Yu should not go head-to-head with the opposing vanguard officer: victory is not a weapon, and defeat is a laugh.
Gossip less, back to the point, let's take a look at which Cao Ying generals fought against Guan Yu before the Battle of Chibi.
Xu Huang bullied Guan Yu in Jingzhou, whose arm and arrow wounds had not healed, and shook his might, but twenty years ago, he joined forces with Xu Chu, and Guan Yu could not help it.
It was five years after Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, and the Incident of the Yidai Edict was exposed, and when Cao Cao was dueling Yuan Shao, he was still worried about the great trouble in his heart, Liu Bei, and personally came out of the mountains and mountains, scaring Liu Bei into breaking out of the siege and defecting to Yuan Shao.
At that time, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei robbed the camp together and lost,
"Due east Zhang Liao, due west Xu Chu, due south Yu Ban, due north Li Dian, southeast Xu Huang, southwest Lejin, northeast Xiahou Huan, northwest Xiahou Yuan, eight military horses killed."
Zhang Fei fought in the siege of Cao Ying's eight generals, which gave Liu Bei a chance to escape. Seeing that the general trend had gone to the eldest brother and had run, Zhang Feicai killed a bloody road into mount Mangzhong, where he met Xiahou Yuan's niece, thus ending his single life.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei ran away lightly and sharply, but Guan Yu, who dragged his family with his mouth, could not run away, and was surrounded by Cao Jun's iron barrel in Xia Pi City, thus beginning a deadly fight with The generals of Cao Ying.
The generals of Cao Ying all knew Guan Yu's bravery during the Three Yings Battle of Lü Bu (at this time, they had not yet cut off their faces and cursed Wen Ugly), so few people were willing to go head-to-head with Guan Yu. Outside xia pi city, Xu Huang and Xu Chu, who had taken advantage of the heavens and places, also fought one by two, but they were slashed away by Guan Yu's Green Dragon Yanyue Sword:
"The ambush troops on both sides lined up with a hundred hard crossbows, and the arrows were like flying locusts. Guan Gong could not pass, le soldiers returned, Xu Huang and Xu Chu caught the engagement, and Guan Gong struggled to kill the two. ”
At that time, Cao Cao did not want to capture Guan Yu raw, so the strong bow and crossbow greeted together, and Guan Yu, who had almost zero defense power against the bow and arrow, had to take Xu Huang Xu Chu out of anger. At this time, Guan Yu, who was about thirty years old, was in his peak state, so Xu Huang and Xu Chu joined forces and could not beat Guan Yu alone.
After Dianwei was killed in battle, Xu Chu and Xu Huang became the best hercules in Cao Ying, and these two Hercules were still cut away by Guan Yu's eighty-two pounds of Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and the other generals of Cao Ying naturally fled in the wind, especially Cao Ren Cao Zixiao, who ran when he saw Guan Yu.
Cao Ren took Li Dian and others to requisition Liu Bei's xinye town, and when he saw Zhang Fei, he dared to make a few comparisons, but when he saw Guan Yu turn around and run, Guan Yu still carried a knife and pursued him.
Xu Chu Xu Huang could not join hands to fight, Cao Ren did not dare to accept the move at all, so no one of the Cao Ying generals dared to single out Guan Yu? The answer is of course no, because as we have already said before, there is an underrated Cao Ying famous general who once singled out Lü Bu for thirty rounds without losing, and fought with Guan Yu three times without losing--this person is the one-eyed general Xiahou Huan, the first person in Zhu Cao Xiahou, and the direct leader of the five sons of liang.
After Cao Cao blackmailed Tianzi to make the princes take power in the court, the first thing he did was to seal the generals:
"Xiahou Huan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong were all generals, Lü Qian, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Ban, and Xu Huang were all lieutenants, and Xu Chu and Dianwei were all lieutenants."
When Xiahou Huan became the first general of Cao Ying, Zhang Liao was still giving Lü Bu a cavalry, Zhang Gao was still in his Hebei Four Court Pillars, and Xiahou Huan did not disappoint Cao Cao, and at the critical moment, he always stood up for Cao Cao.
Xiahou Huan could not beat Lü Bu, who was in peak condition and had many people, and the first time he singled it out, Xiahou Huan quickly lost. However, outside the city of Puyang, Xiahou Huan regained his confidence: "Cao Cao (who was chased by Lü Bu) was in a panic, and a Biao army arrived in the south, and it was Xiahou Huan who led the army to rescue and intercept Lü Bu's battle. At dusk, heavy rain poured down, and their respective armies dispersed. ”
How many rounds xiahou huan fought with Lü Bu were not specified in the book, but in the end, Lü Bu was unable to pick Xiahou Huan off his horse. Among the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, the one who can fight with Lü Bu and not be defeated, in addition to Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, may be this one-eyed general Xiahou Huan.
Dare to pick a single confrontation with Lü Bu, Xiahou Huan's courage is big enough, and his martial arts are also high enough, so to say that cao ying's general is not afraid of Guan Yu, it is really not Xu Huang or Xu Chu, but Xiahou Huan.
Xiahou Huan was the one who fought with Guan Yu the most of the generals in the Cao camp, and in order to lure Guan Yu out of Xia Pi City, it was Xiahou Huan who led five thousand elite soldiers to shout and curse under the city.
The thunderous Guan Yu rushed out to play with Xiahou Huan, and did not cut his opponent under the horse within ten moves, xiahou Huan ran away - Xiahou Huan's run was not cowardly, but to lead Guan Yu into the encirclement.
After Guan Yu entered the encirclement, he slashed away Xu Chu and Xu Huang with a random knife, and seeing that he was about to die of dust, Xiahou Huan returned.
Xu Chu Xu Huang had already run away, and Xiahou Huan had to pick a fight with Guan Yu:
"Xiahou Huan intercepted the battle again, and Guan Gong fought until the evening, and there was no way back, only an earthen mountain, and the troops were stationed on the top of the mountain."
If Xiahou Huan's martial skills were not good, Guan Yu would not be trapped in Tushan and surrender.
Xiahou Huan thought that his martial arts were not under Guan Yu, so he became the only famous general in Cao Ying who was not afraid of Guan Yu, and later launched a hunt for Guan Yu, if it were not for Zhang Liao's prevention, Guan Yu, who had been running for a long time, did not win ten rounds, and if he continued to fight, the result might be difficult to say.
When it comes to Zhang Liao, we cannot but talk about Gao Shun, a trapped camp with the same name as Zhang Liao.
According to the description of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Liao may not have been able to defeat Xiahou Huan, because Gao Shun absolutely could not defeat Xiahou Huan:
However, it was said that Xiahou Huan led the army forward, and was encountering Gao Shun's army, so he raised his gun and went out to fight. Gao Shun meets the enemy. The two horses intersected, and the battle was forty or fifty, and Gao Shun could not resist the enemy and was defeated. ”
Gao Shun, who was defeated and was equally famous as Zhang Liao, chased and killed Guan Yu once to lure the enemy and besieged him once, and Xiahou Huan did not lose three battles, which showed that he dared to single out Guan Yu and also had enough confidence. But there is a question to ask readers: if Xiahou Huan and Guan Yu let go of the duel, how many rounds can he support? What is the probability of winning?
