Zhang Fei said bluntly: If you encounter Zhao Yun, you will stab him to death! Does he really have that strength?
Introduction: In 208 AD, Cao Cao swept south in a big way after sweeping the north, and his troops approached Jingzhou, thinking that there would be a fierce battle, who had thought that the lord of Jingzhou would surrender without a fight. At that time, Liu Bei, who was living here, had to lead his troops to retreat south and prepare to run to Xiakou, after Cao Cao learned the news, he sent a tiger and leopard to chase after him, and caught up with and defeated Liu Beijun at Dangyang, when someone reported that Zhao Yun had surrendered to the enemy, Zhang Fei was furious after hearing it next to him, and he released the words: If he encounters Zhao Yun and stabs him to death, does he really have this strength?
In many rankings of military generals, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are very close to each other, and the fame of the people is similar, in the early years, Zhao Yun's first follower was Gongsun Zhan, and this person and Liu Bei were friends with the same window when they were young, and later after the defeat of Gongsun, Zhao Yun directly defected to Liu Bei after several turns, so the two sides have never been able to compete on the battlefield to determine who is higher and who is lower, so we can only evaluate the strength of the two from their battle records and the results of the duel with the same general.
Judging from the record, the two sides have their own advantages. First of all, Zhao Yun slashed a large number of generals, just when Yang killed more than 50 generals under Cao Wei in the Battle of Dangyang, he was in his prime, and in his later years, he still killed five generals of the Han family in one fell swoop during the Northern Expedition, which showed that his ability to defeat the enemy was very strong. Although the number of Zhang Fei's beheading generals is not much, but he has played against many famous generals, he has fought with Lü Bu three times without winning or losing, and Ma Chao has fought for more than two hundred rounds, and even Xu Chu, who does not dare to provoke Ma Chao, he has also defeated him three times in a row, which shows that Zhang Fei is a strong general who is strong when he encounters strength.
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun have both had a record of fighting with one person, that is, Zhang Gao. During the Battle of Runan, Liu Beijun was defeated by Cao Cao, and when he fled, he was besieged by the pursuing troops led by Zhang Gao, and zhang Yun rushed over at a critical moment, he first stabbed Gao Lan with one shot, and then rushed into the siege and fought zhang Gao for more than thirty rounds, and Zhang Gao was defeated. During the Battle of Brazil, Zhang Fei used a strategy to cut off Zhang Gao's army from the middle and besieged it in a narrow valley, and the two also fought for more than thirty rounds, Zhang Gao was defeated and fled back to Xudu alone.
In addition to force, boldness is equally important for the general. Zhang Fei once led more than a dozen cavalry to block tens of thousands of Cao army pursuers, he ordered soldiers to drag branches back and forth behind the mountain with horses to drag branches back and forth to create smoke and dust, and he stood alone on the bridge to challenge the Cao army, not only scaring Xiahou Jie to death with a voice, but also letting tens of thousands of pursuing soldiers retreat. Zhao Yun took dozens of his own soldiers to look for Huang Zhong at the han river, on the way he suddenly encountered the main force of the Cao army, Zhao Yun retreated to the camp while fighting, and let the soldiers open the camp door, the Cao army was afraid of ambush and retreated, Zhao Yun then led all the men and horses to suddenly kill, defeated the Cao army, and fell into the Han river drowning tens of thousands.
Conclusion: Judging from the comprehensive battle record, strength and boldness, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun can be said to be on par, which is also some of the qualities necessary for being an excellent general. However, Zhang Fei has obvious shortcomings, that is, he is too tyrannical and loves to drink, so he is just a general who is trapped in the battle, and he cannot become a real handsome talent, and eventually he also died. Zhao Yun, on the other hand, has a gentle and cautious personality, is not greedy for merit, does not compete for victory, and is also very politically insightful, and has repeatedly persuaded Liu Bei, so he often provokes Liu Bei to be displeased and is difficult to reuse.
