The Quan Tang Wen once said: "Zhang Liao's planning can be attributed to the first track." "In the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms, the military general Zhang Liaozhi was brave and courageous, bold and careful, and when he joined the army, he made countless military achievements, ranked among the sixty-four generals in ancient and modern times, and became a model admired by future generations.
If you look at many chaotic times in ancient Chinese society, you will find that in the process of power strife and division, heroic figures often stand up and make the greatest contribution to the object of their allegiance. In the process of understanding these heroes in later generations, they can also learn from their corresponding experiences.
When it comes to the many heroes in the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms, I think the world is no stranger. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was such a very special heroic general, who hunted down Cao Cao at the age of twenty-six, Liu Bei at the age of twenty-nine, and Sun Quan at the age of forty-six. So, who is this special general? What kind of legendary life experience did he have?
This heroic general who had hunted down three leaders of the Three Kingdoms was
Zhang Liao
。 When it comes to this name, perhaps many people who are more familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms are not unfamiliar.
After understanding Zhang Liao's growth experience, you will find that
He grew up in a chaotic and turbulent border area, and based on the influence of his living environment, Zhang Liao attached great importance to Xi Wu from an early age.
With years of hard work, Zhang Liao has a strong martial art, which also lays a solid foundation for him to kill the enemy later.
In 188 AD, Hezhou Assassin Shi Dingyuan saw that Zhang Liao was excellent in martial arts, so he summoned him to engage
。 After that, Zhang Liao was ordered to lead his troops to the capital and accept the leadership of the general He Jin. However, He Jin was later killed by eunuchs, which also caused great turmoil in the army. During this time, some of the eunuchs were killed by angry soldiers, while the surviving eunuchs committed the act of kidnapping the Han Shao Emperor.
At the time of crisis, Dong Zhuo successfully rescued the driver, and since then, Dong Zhuo has successfully obtained the opportunity to grasp the power of the DPRK and China, which also makes Zhang Liao a subordinate of Dong Zhuo.
When Dong Zhuo was killed, Zhang Liao became Lü Bu's subordinate.
During this time, although Zhang Liao was nominally a subordinate of Lü Bu, in fact, he also had his own team.
After that, Zhang Liao divided one side and cultivated his own strength
When Lü Bu fought Cao Cao, the twenty-six-year-old Zhang Liao stepped forward and crushed the army led by Cao Cao in one fell swoop. After the defeat of the army, Cao Cao wanted to flee quickly, but Zhang Liao pursued him closely, which also made Cao Cao almost die under Zhang Liao's horse.
At the critical juncture, if It was not for the help of Dianwei, perhaps Cao Cao would have died a long time ago, and after experiencing this incident, Cao Cao made up his mind that he must take Zhang Liao under his command.
Although Cao Cao's army was defeated by Zhang Liao's efforts, after a period of rest, Cao's army successfully defeated Lü Bu's army, which also forced Zhang Liao to flee with Lü Bu to the Xuzhou area for refuge. At that time, Liu Bei was responsible for garrisoning the Xuzhou area, and when he saw the arrival of Lü Bu and others, Liu Bei did not expel them, but instead sent them into the city to rest.
In 198, Lü Bu's men were ordered to buy military horses, but on the way, the gold he used to purchase military horses was all stolen by Liu Bei's army. At this time, the twenty-nine-year-old Zhang Liao was ordered to go to war and launch an attack on Liu Bei's army.
At that time, Liu Bei asked Cao Cao for help, and Cao Cao sent Xiahou Huan to support Liu Bei, at that time, Zhang Liao and others first worshipped Xiahou Huan.
Subsequently, Liu Bei was also defeated by Zhang Liao's men and was pursued and killed by Zhang Liao.
As mentioned earlier, since Cao Cao was hunted down and killed by Zhang Liao, he hoped to be able to take Zhang Liao under his command, and when Cao Cao successfully captured Xuzhou, he finally found an opportunity to win Zhang Liao over.
When Cao Liao's army entered Xuzhou, Cao Cao directly beheaded Lü Bu, and when Zhang Liao saw this situation, he thought that his life would soon be over, but Zhang Liao did not expect it, but Cao Cao proposed that he hoped to bring him under his command. At first, Zhang Liao was not willing to accept Cao Cao's solicitation, but with Cao Cao's efforts,
Eventually, Zhang Liao came under Cao Cao and became one of his most important generals.
When Zhang Liao was forty-six years old, he was arranged by Cao Cao to garrison the city of Hefei, and during this period, Zhang Liao's men were only 7,000 soldiers.
When Sun Quan learned of this situation, he decided that this was the best time to capture Hefei, and after that, he gathered an army of 100,000 people, intending to defeat the troops led by Zhang Liao in one fell swoop.
however
Sun Quan did not expect that Zhang Liao actually led a small group of cavalry to kill him directly in front of him, and after this incident, the Eastern Wu army was in an instant of chaos
。 At such an urgent juncture, if it were not for the help of Lü Meng and other generals, perhaps Sun Quan would have been assassinated long ago.
epilogue
As a fierce general in the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Liao's life was incomparably brilliant, and in the process of China's historical development, his military talent has also become the object of learning for future generations.
In modern society, although people have lived in times of peace, the construction of military power should not be underestimated. It is believed that based on historical experience and lessons, the relevant departments of the state can also build a more powerful army to ensure the stability and harmony of people's lives.
