The lyrics of "Save Zhao Yun in front of Changbanpo and drink back Cao Cao's million soldiers" is a description of Zhang Fei's Zhang Yide Changshanpo Dangyang Bridge to drink and retreat Cao Cao's army, and the simple two sentences will show Zhang Fei's radiance and vitality caused by his prestige, but at that time, in the face of millions of people, why did Cao Wei dare not come forward? In fact, Zhang Fei's identity is very catty.
Battle of Nagasaka Slope
After Xinye and Bowangpo used fire twice in succession to attack cao's army, Cao Cao refused to give up and personally led a large army to attack Liu Bei, Liu Bei was weak and did not dare to fight with it, so he abandoned Xinye and went to Xiangyang, more than 10,000 people refused to abandon it, helped the old and young to follow Liu Bei, Xiangyang City, Cai Mao refused to open the city to meet, but instead ordered the crossbowmen to shoot arrows and wound the people.
Then the defender of the city Wei Yan was dissatisfied, killed the defender to open the door to meet Liu Bei, but Liu Bei felt that it was difficult to blame and claimed that "I did not enter Xiangyang" and then took the army away, because there were many people, the army marched slowly, a day was not more than ten miles, into the night, Cao Cao's army led the army to sneak attack the camp, the army scattered in the chaos, the next day, the army was damaged mostly, and the two ladies did not know where to go.
Zhao Yun searched bitterly in the midst of the rebel army, found Ah Dou and his wife in the ruins of the broken wall, and then the lady died in order to repay Ah Dou thoroughly, throwing herself into a dry well, Zhao Yun embraced Ah Dou, and in a desperate situation, Cao Cao's 830,000 troops, rampaged, invincible, and beheaded more than fifty of Cao Cao's generals under their horses, cut down two sides of the banner, and killed Cao Cao's army.
Then he came to the Danyang Bridge with Ah Dou in his arms, he was already exhausted, and after completing the handover with Zhang Fei, he rode away on horseback, leaving Zhang Fei alone to guard Changshanpo, at that time Cao Cao's army had arrived, and Cao Cao had long heard Guan Yu say that Zhang Yide took the head of the general in the million army, just like probing for things, so he did not dare to rush to attack.
Just at this moment, Zhang Fei yelled out, "I am a Yan person Zhang Yideye, who dares to fight with me to the death?" This roar was powerful and powerful, landing on the ground, shouting cao Caohu's body was shocked, and he did not dare to come forward, so he took a look at Xiahou Jie next to him and let him fight. Xiahou Jie cowered and did not dare to come forward, Zhang Fei saw the situation and shouted, "War and no war, retreat and do not retreat, but why?" ”。
This sound directly frightened Xiahou Jie's liver and gallbladder, spitting out bile and falling off the horse, seeing this situation, Cao Cao, who was at the front of the army, turned around and ran, and millions of troops also retreated en masse, throwing away their armor and armor, and trampling on countless wounded.
From this point of view, Cao Cao had an army of 800,000 people, a thousand good generals, how could he be drunk by Zhang Fei and flee? In fact, in addition to Zhang Fei's own deterrent power, there are several other reasons, which are also related to Zhang Fei's identity.
Zhang Yide, who is "thick and thin"
First of all, although Zhang Fei was only standing at the head of the Dangyang Bridge, he issued an order in advance: "Lead a group of people and horses, cut down the branches and tie them to the horse's tail, and go in opposite directions to serve as ambushes", that is, Cao Cao stood opposite Zhang Fei, saw the dust and smoke in the forest, and with Cao Cao's suspicious personality, suspected that the opposite side was a trap, so he did not dare to attack.
It can be seen that Zhang Fei is not as reckless as described by the world, he will use his brain at critical times, know how to use the suspicious tactics of Sun Tzu's art of war, coupled with Cao Cao's excessive suspiciousness, it can be said that this fake ambush is also one of the reasons for Cao Cao's retreat.
External causes of multi-party influence
Of course, the above reasons for themselves must not be untenable, the strategy of ambushing the troops can block Cao Cao's 800,000 iron horses, and Cao Cao has several well-known generals, but for what reason do these people dare not come forward to fight?
The first is the general Wen Ping, as the first general to arrive at The Dangyang Bridge, why doesn't he dare to come forward and fight with one? The first is its own reasons, Wen Ping, originally a general under Liu Biao, who later surrendered to Cao Cao.
At that time, when Liu Bei sneaked up on Liu Bei at night, Liu Bei saw that he was not afraid at all, and scolded, "Where did Brother Jing Sheng treat Yu Ru badly?" How dare you betray the Lord and seek glory? Only after surrendering to Cao Cao and then coming to hunt down and kill his employer brother, where is his conscience? Where is the shame? The scolding Wen Ping was speechless, and then Zhang Fei arrived, and was about to fight, but Wen Ping fled in ashes, which showed that Wen Ping consciously had no face to fight with the brother of the late lord.
Secondly, even if Wen Ping tore his face, xiangyang city had just fought a draw with Wei Yan, and he could not fight Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei saw that he might be more ruthless because of hatred, and he first surrendered to Cao Cao, and no one was distressed to die in vain, so he did not shoot at the first time.
In addition to Wen Ping, Zhang Liao and Xu Chu were also fierce generals under Cao Cao, and Guan Yun saw Zhang Liao and said, "This person is no less than me", that is, Zhang Liao can really fight with Guan Yu, that is, Zhang Liao can suppress Zhang Fei.
In addition, there was Xu Chu, the general of the naked fighting Horse Chao, you know, at that time, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao fought, from day to night, night and day, the two fought for more than a hundred rounds without winning or losing, and Xu Chu interrupted the weapons of both sides when protecting Cao Cao and Ma Chao, and finally Xu Chu did not love the battle.
It can be seen that the combat strength of these two people is comparable to Zhang Fei, and it can even be said that it is even more than that, but why did they not fight? First of all, it was the dust across the bridge, because Zhuge Liang, the military master of the Shu Kingdom, was the embodiment of wisdom, and they did not know that this record came from Zhang Fei, and more people were willing to believe that it was from Kong Ming's hand.
The tragic lessons of burning Xinye and burning Bowangpo are still vividly remembered, and even though there are many soldiers and horses, Kong Ming will be defeated with a small plan, so not only Zhang Liao, but also Li Dian, Cao Ren and many other generals dare not come to the battle easily.
Zhang Fei's special envoy status
In addition, there was another reason why Cao Weizhong did not dare to fight him, that is, Zhang Fei's other identity, first of all, to talk about a person, that is, Xiahou Shi, she was not only Zhang Fei's wife but also Xiahou Yuan's niece, when there was a famine, Xiahou Yuan "abandoned his young son and died of his brother and orphan daughter" The orphan daughter here is Xiahou Shi.
Later, Xiahou clan went out to collect trees, and by chance, she became Zhang Fei's wife, and then the woman born married Liu Chan and became the empress of the Shu kingdom, so the relationship was still relatively complicated.
Cao Cao's relationship with the Xiahou clan was very close, many of the warlords were from the Xiahou family, and the brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Huan at the time of Changshanpo put aside their political stances, they should all be Zhang Fei and Xiahou's uncles, to put it bluntly, they can be counted as a family.
It is always impossible to let Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Fei fight to the death, leaving his niece alone, and as for Li Dian and other powerful generals, they should be able to recognize the current situation of cao Cao's close relationship with the Xiahou family, and the relationship between Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Fei cannot be said to be fully known, but at least they have heard about it. Therefore, all the generals had the heart to fight against Zhang Fei.
Until Cao Cao withdrew his troops, Zhang Fei broke the Dangyang Bridge, and the generals reported it to Cao Cao after discovering it, and Cao Cao knew that he had been calculated again, and if there was no Xiahou clan, Cao Cao might have directly killed the Dangyang Bridge, and it was not impossible to capture Liu Bei alive.
