The 24 generals of the Three Kingdoms, including most of the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms period, as long as they are on the list, they are all famous generals, but the rankings are different. Generally speaking, if the ranking is in the front, it is worse than the warrior in the back. But there is such an outlier, this person ranks 22nd (3rd from the bottom) among the 24 players, but his defeated generals are ranked ahead of him, to be precise, in 15th place. According to the relevant content in the interpretation, the analysis is as follows.
Yan Liang defeated Xu Huang
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, one to the north and the other to the south, each marched, and finally the north left only their two sides, becoming the largest prince in the north at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. There can only be one master in the north, and both want to chase the central plains, and the contradiction is inevitable, and the Battle of Guandu broke out in 200 AD. Before the Battle of Guandu, the two of them had constant friction, such as the Battle of Baima and the Battle of Yanjin, which were the foreplay of the Battle of Guandu.
At the Battle of Baima, Yuan Shao sent his general Yan Liang to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Cao Cao and attack Liyang. Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dong Commandery, felt that he was not the opponent of Yan Liang's 100,000-strong army, so he asked Cao Cao for help, and Cao Cao led an army of 150,000 to meet Yan Liang. The two sides met at Bai ma Po and fought a great battle.
Cao Cao was shocked to see Yan Liang's 100,000-strong army and the flag was unfurled, and he turned to Song Xian, one of the eight jian generals of lü Bu, and said, "I heard that you were very powerful under Lü Bu's hands, go and fight Yan Liang." Song Xian could only obey orders, get on the horse with a gun, and face Yan Liang, and unexpectedly, in less than three rounds, Song Xian was beheaded by Yan Liang. After Song Xian was killed, his good friend Wei Xu couldn't sit still, wanted to avenge him, and went to war, but the result was not as good as Song Xian, just one turn, and he lost his life.
Cao Cao panicked when he saw that Song Xian and Wei Xu had lost their lives one after another, and could only summon up the courage to ask, "Who would dare to fight Yan Liang?" The fierce general Xu Huang came out in response, took the big axe and went up, fighting Yan Liang. To the surprise of Cao Ying's generals, Xu Huang, who had been undefeated in the fifty rounds of the battle against Xu Chu, went up, and after only twenty rounds, he was defeated back to the main line. The relevant descriptions in the speech are as follows:
Continuing to hold the spear on the horse, before going out of the battle, he scolded Yan Liang. Liang did not speak, crossed the horse together, took a knife in the head, and split Wei under the horse. Fu Said: "Who dares to do it now?" Xu Huang responded, fought with Yan Liang for twenty years, and was defeated by the main front.
Judging from Xu Huang's 20-round defeat to Yan Liang, Xu Huang's martial arts are not as good as Yan Liang's, and the gap between Him and Yan Liang is still very large. However, the ranking of the 24 generals of the Three Kingdoms is a bit chaotic, Yan Liang ranks 3rd from the bottom, but Xu Huang, who was defeated by him, ranks 15th, why is this? Is it unreasonable to rank the 24 generals of the three countries?
First, Xu Huang was one of the five sons of Cao Wei and had great achievements, while Yan Liang died at the hands of Guan Yu early.
Xu Huang was originally a subordinate of Yang Feng, and he had a big battle with Cao Cao's general Xu Chu, and the two of them won or lost in fifty rounds. Xu Chu is a super-first-class martial general who can fight with Dianwei and Ma Chao, and Xu Huang's peace with Zhan Ping shows that his martial arts are also close to super-first-class martial generals. In particular, Xu Huang lived longer than Yan Liang, living until 227 AD, when he worshiped the right general. Although he was the last of the five sons, he was also very powerful.
Although Yan Liang was the first general under Yuan Shao and the head of the Four Court Pillars in Hebei, he "died young" and was killed by Guan Yu in the Battle of Baimapo, and his honor and life came to an abrupt end.
Second, the ranking of the 24th place in the three countries is only for reference, and cannot be rigidly set.
To be honest, rankings are generally just a reference, and the 24-nation ranking of the three countries is no exception. Lü Bu, who held the Chinese Heavenly Painting Sword in his hands, had a red rabbit horse under his crotch, fought against Liu Guan Zhang Sanying at Tiger Prison Pass, and then fought against Xu Chu Xiahou Huan and other six generals of Cao Ying outside Puyang City, and with his invincible force, he ranked first in the world.
However, the ranking of martial generals after Lü Bu is not necessarily reasonable, such as the second place Zhao Yun, to the eighth place Xu Chu are all super first-class martial artists of the Three Kingdoms, the martial arts are similar, and many of them have fought in a draw, such as Xu Chu and Dianwei, Xu Chu and Ma Chao, Ma Chao and Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong. But their rankings are different, can you say who is better than whom? Naturally, it is impossible, these four pairs are all equals, and the martial arts are similar.
The difference between Xu Huang, who ranked 15th, and Yan Liang, who ranked 22nd, was only 7 places apart, and the difference was not big, and the martial arts were similar. This ranking can only be used as a reference, in the actual battle, who is more powerful, no one can say for sure. Perhaps this battle Yan Liang defeated Xu Huang in 20 rounds, and in the next battle Xu Huang played an extraordinary role, and it was also possible to defeat Yan Liang with 20 rounds.
Third, Xu Huang lost to Yan Liang in 20 rounds for a reason.
Before Xu Huang went out to fight Yan Liang, Yan Liang had already killed Song Xian and Wei Xu, two strong generals, and it was when morale was in full swing that god blocked the killing of god and Buddha blocked the killing of Buddha.
At this time, Yan Liang was full of momentum, if it was Xu Chu, Ma Chao and other top ten super first-class martial artists, he was also fearless, even if it was Lü Bu, the world's first master, he could persist for dozens of rounds. Xu Huang saw that the two warriors who were no less than himself had been killed in battle, and his heart was terrified, and he was overwhelmed by Yan Liang in terms of momentum, and his hands were naturally in the inferior position.
epilogue
The ranking of the 24 generals of the Three Kingdoms is indeed a bit chaotic, and can only be used as a reference, such as the top 10 in addition to Lü Bu yaoyao, the remaining 9 people are similar in martial arts, in the same way, the last 10 martial arts are not much different. However, the ranking of the 24 generals of the three countries is not unreasonable, it is very reasonable, it is a ranking based on the comprehensive consideration of the achievements and strength of the 24 generals.
Therefore, Yan Liang ranked 3rd from the bottom, and Xu Huang, who was not as good as him, ranked 15th due to his later achievements, which can be explained.
