In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in fact, many courtiers are not as untethered as everyone imagines. In fact, in those days, everyone would learn some martial arts for self-defense. Today, the two people we are going to talk about are, on the surface, first-class courtiers, but in fact they are also the best in martial arts, and these two people are Wang Lang and Sima Yi.
Wang Lang is most famous in his rendition when he went out to attack Shu Han, and was scolded to death by Zhuge Liang, leaving everyone with the impression of a weak scholar. Sima Yi, on the surface, was a scheming courtier, but in fact he had also defeated Wei Yan. Then, if Wang Lang had not been killed by Zhuge Liang, and he and Sima Yi had a single challenge, who would win and who would lose?
Wang Lang
In addition to everyone's fixed impression of Wang Lang's Wang Situ, in fact, in the early stage of the performance, Wang Lang had shown extraordinary force.
After Sun Ce left Yuan Shu, he entered the river like a raptor and led his army to attack the city in Jiangdong, and he was invincible. Soon, the size of Sun Ce's army became larger and larger, becoming a force to be reckoned with in Jiangdong. After Sun Ce defeated Liu Xuan, he led an army to attack Wu County, successfully defeating Yan Baihu, who was stationed in Wu County, and Yan Baihu fled to Huiji. At that time, The Huijian Taishou was Wang Lang, who saw that Yan Baihu's army was defeated, so he led his army to the rescue and fought fiercely with Sun Cejun.
Literally
: Sun Ce was furious and was waiting for a battle, and Tai Shi Ci came out early. Wang Lang slapped the horse dance knife, and the battle with Ci Zhan was not counted, and Lang killed Zhou Ting to help the battle; Sun Ce was in the position of Huang Gai, and Pegasus caught Zhou Ting's confrontation. The two drums shook violently, fighting each other.
Although Wang Lang was too defensive, his temper was not generally fiery, and before the two armies, he directly scolded Sun Ce for challenging. In the battle with Tai Shi Ci, he did not show defeat, which was amazing. Tai Shi Ci everyone knows, that is the first tiger general in Jiangdong, the combat strength is super strong, among the twenty-four generals of the Three Kingdoms, but the figures who can rank in the top ten, Wang Lang can fight with it, not to fall behind, the strength is too deep.
Later, it was Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu who led the army to copy Wang Lang's rear road, and the two armies attacked each other to defeat Wang Lang, and Wang Lang was outnumbered and led the army to retreat into the city. Although Wang Lang was brave in personal force, his army strength was inferior to Sun Ce's, and he was eventually defeated by Sun Ce, and Wang Lang was also reluctant to surrender to Sun Ce, and eventually defected to Cao Cao.
Sima Yi
Influenced by the TV series, everyone believes that Sima Yi is only proficient in power and strategy, living for a long time, and on the battlefield, he is responsible for the role of planning or commanding. In fact, when Sima Yi launched a fierce attack, he also had to personally slash and kill.
In the 13th round of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Yan was ordered by Zhuge Liang to lure Sima Yi, and the two armies met at the mouth of the valley above.
Wei Yan was at the mouth of the valley, only hoping for Sima Yi to arrive; when he suddenly saw a Branch of Wei soldiers killed, Yan Yan's horse looked forward, and it was Sima Yi. Yan Da shouted, "Sima Yi is leaving!" "Dancing knives greet each other. Yi Ting gun engagement. Without going up to the triad, Yan dialed back to the horse and left, and Yi came later. Yan only looked at the Seven Star Flag and walked.
Let's look at the battle between Wei Yan and Sima Yi, Wei Yan first swung his sword to challenge, and Sima Yi, knowing that Wei Yan was a fierce general of the Shu Han Dynasty, ignored Wei Yan's super combat strength and dared to personally raise his guns to engage each other, indicating that Sima Yi was very confident in his own strength. He thought that even if he couldn't win Wei Yan's battle, he wouldn't be easily killed under Wei Yan's men, otherwise with Sima Yi's caution, how could he personally go out on horseback. After three moves, Wei Yan fled, and Sima Yi dared to chase after him with confidence, not afraid of ambushing soldiers, which also showed his confidence in his own strength. Sima Yi must have fought with other military generals in the army, otherwise he would not have thought that force could counter Wei Yan.
Although Wei Yan's purpose this time was to lure Sima Yi to pursue, if Sima Yi was really good and could not pick up his three moves, he certainly did not mind directly killing Sima Yi, after all, Sima Yi was Cao Wei's commander, and the purpose of this military operation was actually to kill Sima Yi. If you can kill Sima Yi in a single fight and in a short period of time, what else can you do with so many tricks?
Therefore, from a comprehensive point of view, Sima Yi's martial arts are definitely still good, but they may not be able to beat Wei Yan.
Wang Lang vs Sima Yi
Everyone thought that Wang Lang and Sima Yi were both courtiers of the State of Wei, and they would certainly not fight. But this is not the case. Wang Lang hated Sima Yi very much, and he once advised Emperor Cao Rui that Sima Yi was a man with great ambitions and should be beheaded as soon as possible. Therefore, if Wang Lang were alive, it would be entirely possible to fight with Sima Yi.
So who is higher in the martial arts of the two?
Wang Lang's ability to defeat Tai Shi Ci shows that his martial prowess has reached a first-class level of strength, and judging from the war between Sima Yi and Wei Yan, this article is more inclined to believe that Sima Yi's martial arts are weaker than Wei Yan's. So who is stronger and weaker in the martial arts of Tai Shi Ci and Wei Yan?
According to the twenty-four generals of the Three Kingdoms, Tai Shi Ci ranked tenth, while Wei Yan ranked nineteenth, and it is obvious that most people believe that Tai Shi Ci's martial arts are stronger than Wei Yan's. Then Wang Lang and Sima Yi singled out, of course, Wang Lang won.
epilogue
Based on the above analysis, Wang Lang is a real fighter with Tai Shi Ci, and his strength can be ranked at the first-class level. In the battle between Sima Yi and Wei Yan, Wei Yan was obviously releasing water, and in addition to this scene, Sima Yi rarely showed personal force, so this article is more inclined to think that Sima Yi's level is not ranked at the first-class level. Therefore, if Wang Lang is not killed by Zhuge Liang's anger, in the single confrontation with Sima Yi, Wang Lang will win.
I don't know which of them you think will win? Welcome to discuss!
