When it comes to the heroes and good men in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they are all among the best characters, there are generals like Lü Buxiangyu who are martial arts masters, there are all-round talents like Zhou Yu Zhuge Liang, and there are talents like Liu Bei who are good at winning people's hearts. Compared with these famous heroes Haojie, the name Huang Zhong may not be so eye-catching, but this does not mean that he is not strong, you know, Liu Bei is respectful to him. However, such a person, Liu Bei's brother Guan Yu, looked down on him very much, why was this?
Huang Zhong, also spelled Han Sheng, was a famous general at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, originally a subordinate of Liu Biao, and later returned to Liu Bei. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei claimed that the queen of Hanzhong made him one of the Five Tiger Generals, and Huang Zhong's name gradually became synonymous with the old and strong in China. Guan Yu, on the other hand, was the second brother of Liu Bei, the King of Hanzhong, who was highly skilled in martial arts and made many military achievements for Liu Bei, and in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he described his martial arts as a god and was loyal to Liu Bei.
The Five Tigers will be headed by Guan Yu, followed by Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Mao Chao, and Huang Zhong. For the other three, Guan Yu was very approve of them. For the three people who were similar to him, Guan Yu was so friendly, but he secretly looked down on Huang Zhong, who was older than him. This displeased Huang Zhong, and it was not until he was ordered to kill Xiahou Yuan that he found the reason.
First - arrogance
Huang Zhong was already over seventy years old at the time, although his body was tough, in the end he was not as energetic as when he was young, even if he had been a horse for a lifetime, he could not withstand the baptism of the years, experienced so many things, naturally acted with some scruples, and naturally lacked the arrogance of his youth. This was out of place for the other Five Tiger Generals who were flourishing at that time. For Guan Yu, who was righteous and cloudy, he was naturally extremely unhappy about this.
Second- merit
Although Huang Zhong also made great achievements for Liu Bei to fight the world, most of them obeyed the orders of the military master Zhuge Liang, and did not order the army and command the whole division alone. Although Zhuge Liang is indeed resourceful, there are always times when he can't take care of it. And he Guan Yun long past three levels. Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others were also well-known young Haojie, and Huang Zhong at that time was much inferior to them. Since ancient times, heroes have respected heroes, and only when they see his skills with their own eyes will they be recognized.
Third, identity
Although the Five Tiger Generals came from the north and south of the heavens, after Ma Chao was a famous general, Zhao Yun studied under the famous door, and although he and Zhang Fei were also rural people, they worshiped the eldest brother liu Bei, and his identity was naturally rising. Only Huang Zhong is different, he is a general, and he has betrayed the Lord. This made Guan Yu, who was not obedient to Cao Cao's recruitment, look down on him very much, and in his heart, Huang Zhong's identity also declined a lot.
Fourth – time
Guan Yu and Huang Zhong did not spend much time together, and they were not very clear about him as a person, nor did they know what skills he had, which caused him to look down on Huang Zhong.
