Speaking of Dianwei, I believe that many friends will have a sense of "short-lived", the so-called "one Lü two Zhao three Dianwei", after the vigorous rendering of the interpretation, the character image of Dianwei has left a deep impression on posterity. So how powerful is the dianwei in history? Let's start with that.
Brave and loyal
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has this passage about Dianwei:
"The shape is big, the brigade is outstanding, and the ambition is a hero."
From this, it is not difficult for us to see that Dianwei belongs to that kind of "brave and martial" type of talent, it is true that the historical Dianwei is not a famous general, he really does not have any great achievements, the highest official position of Dianwei when he was alive was only a lieutenant, mainly responsible for Cao Cao's defense work, but such a person was respected by cao's successive monarchs, especially after Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, he commended a group of former heroes and included them in the Taizu temple court, and Dianwei was among them, so it also made Dianwei famous. So why does Dianwei have such a special honor? This brings us to the story of the Savior of Dianweiwan City.
Seriously, Dianwei really belongs to the kind of person who "became famous in the First World War", and the key to his fame lies in his death in battle and Cao Cao was saved, so he won the affirmation of future generations with the loyal spirit of repaying the Lord with death. I believe that everyone has a deep memory of the bridge section of Dianwei "dead guarding the camp gate" described in the speech, this record is actually not much different from the main history, in the second year of Jian'an (197 AD), Cao Cao marched south to Zhang Xiu, when Zhang Xiu surrendered Kaesong, perhaps at that time Cao Cao was really inflated, and even wanted to take Zhang Xiu's aunt as a concubine, which led to Zhang Xiu's humiliation and rebellion. When Shi Zhangxiu suddenly launched an attack when Cao's army was defenseless, Dianwei led dozens of his men to fight to the death to ensure Cao Cao's safe evacuation, according to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms:
"Wei Zhan is in the middle of the door, and thieves are not allowed to enter... Wei Shuang threatened the two thieves to kill them, but the remaining thieves did not dare to move forward. ”
Dianwei's bravery is indeed amazing, although Dianwei died in the final battle, but it is not worthwhile to achieve his name of "brave and loyal".
Dianwei zhan zhao yun
What are the odds of dianwei and Zhao Yun winning the battle? First of all, this question must be limited to the prerequisites before it can be answered:
If the two fight head-to-head, there is no doubt that Zhao Yun is better in the rendition, Zhao Yun is a famous general who is greatly exaggerated in the rendition, and there are as many as twenty famous and surnamed generals who died under Zhao Yun's gun in the rendition. However, in the right history, I am afraid that Zhao Yun and Dianwei are single-handed, not necessarily Dianwei's opponents.
However, one thing is certain that Dianwei's comprehensive ability is far inferior to Zhao Yun's, which is true both in history and in the interpretation. Zhao Yun was a general, and the historical Zhao Yun had commanded the Battle of Izukawa, the Battle of Hanshui, and the Battle of Jigu alone; and the Dianwei disciples were known for their military strength. However, both of them are loyal and righteous, and they are indeed worthy of the admiration of future generations.
