In the Three Kingdoms era, famous generals such as the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Kingdom and the Five Sons of Cao Wei were all fierce generals of the world, and their names were crowned at that time. Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang and cursed Wen Ugly, cut off six generals after five levels, and searched for a brother in a thousand miles, while Zhang Fei fought the Changsaka Bridge and scared off Cao Cao's millions of soldiers, which can be praised for a while. However, with the passage of time and the increase of age, many military generals have experienced a significant decline in their military force in old age, and after their prime, they have basically retired to a level of force.
Guan Yu can't win Pound when he's old, zhang Fei can't beat Zhang Guo when he's old, but there is one person who is getting older and stronger, who is he? This person was Huang Zhong, one of the veteran generals of the Five Tigers.
First of all, Guan Yu, as the head of the Five Tiger Generals, must be strong in martial arts. When the Eighteenth Route Princes were crusading against Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's generals Hua Xiong beheaded Bao Zhong, Yu Shi, Pan Feng and other generals, and the princes of Wei Zhen, when everyone was at a loss, Guan Yu stepped forward and beheaded Hua Xiong under the horse, and no one did not admire Guan Yu's bravery.
In the Battle of the White Horse, the Hebei general Yan Liang came out of the horse, and three times five divided by two solved Song Xian, Wei Xu and the two, Cao Cao was shocked, asking: "Who can stop it!" Xu Huang responded with a loud voice, and picked up a large axe to meet Yan Liang, not wanting to actually go down twenty rounds before he was defeated in the main front, and the generals of the Cao Army were also afraid.
Cao Cao had no choice but to go to Xuchang to move to Yunchang. After Guan Yu arrived, he led his army to confront the Hebei army, Cao Cao praised the mighty Hebei army, but Guan Yu said that Yan Liang was inserting a bid to sell the head, Guan Yu flew out of the horse, rushed into the Hebei formation, stabbed Yan Liang under the horse, cut off his head and returned. The generals of the two armies were all admired, and Guan Yu bravely crowned the world.
Although Guan Yu was brave and fierce at his peak, his strength was greatly reduced in old age. In 219 AD, Liu Bei ascended the throne as king of Hanzhong, and Guan Yu was made a former general, falsely jieyu, and was ordered to fight against Xiangfan Caoren. Guan Yu was nearly sixty years old at this time, and he could also be said to be a veteran. Leading the Jingzhou army, attacking Xiangyang and besieging Fancheng, Cao Ren told Cao Cao. Cao Cao was horrified and ordered Ban and Pound to lead an army to relieve the siege of Fancheng. Pound came out of the coffin and fought guan gong to the death.
Everyone knows that Pound is also a fierce general, who can be juxtaposed with Cao Jun Xiahou Huan, Xu Huang, etc., and it is difficult to predict Guan Yu in the eyes of many people, and even lose more than wins. Who knew that after Pound led his army to Fancheng, he fought with Guan Yu, and actually the two of them fought for a hundred rounds without winning or losing. At this time, Pound was in his prime and full of energy, but Guan Yu had to be white, and he made meritorious contributions to the forbidden Pound, so He Mingjin collected troops. The next day, Pound and Guan Yu fought, guan Gong actually hit Pound with an arrow, and Guan Ping hurriedly collected troops.
It can be seen that the old Guan Yu is far from the prime-age, the decline of force is severe, and the older he is, the worse he is.
Speaking of Zhang Fei, if nothing else, let's say that Zhang Fei won or lost in the fifty rounds of the Tiger Prison Pass Battle lü bu. This record can stand out. Whoever dares to call Lü Bu a "family slave with three surnames" is estimated to be only Zhang Yide. During the Battle of Changsaka Bridge, Zhang Fei broke off his drink and scared Xiahou Jie to death, and Cao Cao panicked and fled on his horse. With one man and thousands of troops and horses, it is estimated that few people in the three countries can do it.
However, after Liu Bei entered sichuan, Zhang Fei was ordered to guard Brazil. The Wei general Zhang Guo led an army to meet the Shu army, and everyone was afraid of Zhang Fei, but Zhang Gao did not think so, and Zhang Gao made a military order in front of Cao Hong. The two armies set up a position, Zhang Fei singled out Zhang Gao to fight, and Zhang Gao and Zhang Fei fought for twenty rounds without winning or losing.
The 70th time in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The two armies swung open, Zhang Fei came out of the horse, and single-handedly swept Zhang Gao. The gun came out of the horse. After more than twenty years of fighting, the Rear Army suddenly shouted: It turned out that there was a Banner of Shu Soldiers behind the mountain, so it was disturbed. Zhang Hao did not dare to fall in love with the battle, and rode back on his horse.
It can be seen from this that after Zhang Feinian passed more than half a hundred years, the force of force was indeed greatly reduced. Zhang Gao's strength was the same as Zhang Liao's, and Zhang Fei could even match Lü Bu at his peak, so if Zhang Fei was in his prime, he could definitely defeat Zhang Gao, and it could even be said that Zhang Gao did not dare to confront Zhang Fei. Now twenty rounds are not divided into victory and defeat, if it is not the ambush behind, it is estimated that the two do not know how long they will fight.
Look at the old hero Huang Zhong, whose battle record is different from Guan Yu Zhang Fei, etc., it can be said that the older and stronger, the older the stronger!
Huang Zhongben was a general under Liu Biao's account, and he accompanied Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan to guard Jingzhou, and assisted Han Xuan after Liu Pan's death. Han Xuan was mean, so Huang Zhong could be described as depressed under his command, and like Wei Yan, he had been in the idle army, and if it were not for Liu Bei's capture of Changsha, it was estimated that Huang Zhong's life would have passed like this.
In 208, Cao Cao annexed Jingzhou, and Huang Zhong remained a general of Changsha and was not reused. In 209, Guan Yu conquered Changsha, Wei Yan beheaded Taishou Han Xuan, and Huang Zhong and Wei Yan submitted to Liu Bei together. After that, Huang Zhong began to brush up on the mode of battle merit.
In 211 AD, Liu Bei, led by Zhang Song and Fazheng, led an army into Sichuan, with Huang Zhong as a general. Huang Zhong can be described as a great war god, after Liu Bei rebelled against the water, Huang Zhong repelled the Shu generals several times, shot Deng Xian, repelled Leng Bao, and defeated the Shu army.
In 218 AD, after Liu Bei captured Xichuan, he reorganized his army for war. While Cao Cao's general Zhang Gao led an army to attack Ye Mengguan, Huang Zhong asked for orders to fight and led the army to resist the enemy together with the veteran general Yan Yan. Huang Zhong and Zhang Gao fought, twenty rounds without winning or losing, Yan Yan arrived behind him, and attacked back and forth, and Zhang Gao was defeated. After that, Huang Zhong used the strategy of arrogant soldiers to retreat several camps in a row, and when the Cao army relaxed its vigilance, he launched a large-scale attack, recapturing several camps in one fell swoop and capturing Tiandang Mountain. Liu Bei was overjoyed and greatly appreciated Huang Zhong.
After Zhang Gao and others were defeated, he led the remnants of the army to defect to Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan was the main general of Hanzhong and one of the Eight Tiger Riders, of the Cao clan. Liu Bei raised his account and asked who dared to go to meet Xiahou Yuan, the veteran general Huang Zhong continued to stand up, and Zhuge Liang ordered Fa Zheng to be the overseer of the army and followEd Huang Zhong to meet Xiahou Yuan. Huang Zhong was worthy of being a general of the Shu Han Dynasty, capturing Xiahou Shang in one round, and fighting with Xiahou Yuan for twenty rounds, and his courage was unstoppable. Even Zhang Gao praised Huang Zhongxiong.
Xiahou Yuan was excellent in martial arts, but he lacked strategy and did not know how to use strategy. Huang Zhong led his army to capture the high mountains west of Dingjun Mountain, commanding from above. Xiahou Yuan was furious and led his army to challenge. Huang Zhong and Fa Zheng agreed that Fa Zheng was watching from the mountain, and when the white flag was raised, there would be no confrontation, and when the morale of the Wei army was exhausted, the red flag would be raised to attack. Sure enough, Xiahou Yuan soon took off his armor and stripped off his clothes and rested at the bottom of the mountain, Fa Zheng raised the red flag, Huang Zhong killed, and took Xiahou Yuan directly on the horse, Xiahou Yuan was horrified, and was split in half by Huang Zhong's knife. In this battle, Huang Zhong was old and strong, beheading the general Xiahou Yuan, threatening the world, and this battle merit was directly awarded the title of Five Tiger General by Liu Bei.
Looking at the Three Kingdoms, there are still a few people who are still swordless after old age, and there are a few people who do not fall behind in the charge, and the veteran General Huang Zhong is indeed getting older and stronger! In the nearly sixtieth year of the war Guan Yu did not distinguish between victory and defeat, a few years old and then defeated Zhang Gao, and then a few years older to kill Xiahou Yuan, so guan Yu Zhang Fei was not convinced!
The above information mainly refers to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
