Today, let's talk about this military general in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao's life can be said to be quite legendary, in Yuan Shao, he was the pillar of the four courts of Hebei, and in Cao Cao, he was a good general of the five sons. No one can beat in the early stage, and no one can beat it in the later stage.
What about Zhang Hao's martial arts? How many Hebei Four Court Pillars can be ranked? How many generals can the five sons be ranked?
Today we'll take a look.
1, Hebei Siting Pillar, the author tells us how many Zhang Hao martial arts
In 200 AD, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought a battle of Guandu at Guandu. At this time, Yan Liangwen Ugly was already dead, so Yuan Shao's main force at this time was Zhang Hao Gao Yan and the two.
It was also this time that Zhang Hao officially appeared.
In fact, Zhang Hao belongs to the kind of person who has not seen him and heard his name first. It was mentioned a long time ago.
In the 22nd episode of the original work, Zhang Hao was mentioned.
Kong Rongzhi heard this, and came to see the man: "Yuan Shao is powerful, and he cannot fight with him, but only with peace." Xun Yuyu: "Yuan Shao is useless, why discuss peace?" "Rong Yu: "Yuan Shaotu is strong and strong, and his subordinates such as Xu Yu, Guo Tu, Xun Ping, and Fengji are all wise men, and Tian Feng and Fang Zhi are all loyal ministers." Yan Liang, Wen Qiu and Yong won the three armies. The rest of them are famous generals such as Gao Yan, Zhang Hao, and Chun Yuqiong. What does it mean to be a useless person? ”
We all know that Zhang Hao Gao Yan and Yan Liang Wen Ugly are juxtaposed, and are called "Hebei Four Court Pillars" by later generations. But there is no such thing as four court pillars in the original work.
The only time in the original work that the four court pillars in Hebei are in the same frame, and it is also mentioned this time.
This is that the author did not put the four of them side by side, but assigned them a grade. This is also a rare time in the book for the author to personally rank the force.
Yan Liang, Wen Qiu and Yong won the three armies. The rest of them are famous generals such as Gao Yan, Zhang Hao, and Chun Yuqiong.
Yan Liang and Wen Chu are the three champions of bravery; And Gao Yan, Zhang Hao, Chun Yuqiong and other famous generals. That is to say, Yan Liangwen Ugly is an echelon, and Zhang Hao Gaoyan and Chun Yuqiong are an echelon. This sense of unevenness came out immediately.
It shows that here in Luo Guanzhong, Zhang Hao Gaoyan is indeed not as ugly as Yan Liangwen.
And there is another interesting point, usually we often say that the order is Zhang Hao Gaoyan, but the only time here is Gao Yan Zhang Hao. Gao Yan is in front of Zhang Hao.
Illustrate what? As mentioned earlier, this is a rare person in Luo Guanzhong in the original work to personally rank the armed forces. And at this time, put Gao Yan in front of Zhang Hao. It is to tell us that Gao Yan's martial arts are also above Zhang Hao.
Combined with the previous level of division of these four people.
Naluo Guanzhong, Hebei Four Courts Pillar Martial Arts Ranking has actually come out.
That is: Yan Liang, Wen Qiu, Gao Yan, Zhang Hao.
This should be the martial arts order of these four people in Luo Guanzhong's own heart
Zhang Hao's martial arts is the fourth of the four.
In fact, from the perspective of the later fight, it makes sense to say that Gao Yan is above Zhang Hao.
2. The battle of Guandu, Zhang Hao tied Zhang Liao in forty or fifty rounds
angry, so that Zhang Liao went to war. Zhang Hao leaped to greet him. The two generals fought forty or fifty times, regardless of victory or defeat, and Cao Cao was secretly surprised when he saw it. Xu Chu swung his knife and went straight out to help the battle, and Gao Yan caught it with a gun. The four will be caught and killed.
Zhang Hao officially appeared in the Battle of Guandu, and his first shot was a duel with Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.
The two fought for forty or fifty rounds without winning or losing, and it can be said that Zhang Liao and Zhang Hao are at similar levels. Even Cao Cao was secretly surprised when he saw it.
Later, Xu Chu came out to help the battle, and Gao Yan caught Xu Chu to fight.
And judging from the description in the book, Gao Yan and Xu Chu fought for a while, and it was not long. But Zhang Hao and Zhang Liao fought more than forty or fifty rounds. Over there, Xu Chu is fighting, Zhang Liao and Zhang Hao here are definitely not stopping, they must be continuing to fight.
Therefore, Zhang Hao Zhang Liao actually fought fifty or sixty rounds or more. That can basically be determined that Zhang Hao and Zhang Liao's strength is similar, even if Yo Yo is high and low, the gap is very small.
As mentioned earlier, Gao Yan's martial arts are stronger than Zhang Hao's here. Zhang Hao's opponent is Zhang Liao, and Gao Yan's opponent is Xu Chu. It is an indisputable fact that Xu Chu is stronger than Zhang Liao. And Gao Yan can fight with the top ten levels of Xu Chu for a while without defeat, and it can indeed echo what Luo Guanzhong wrote earlier, Gao Yan's martial arts are stronger than Zhang Hao.
It can be said that the previous authors are all ranked right, and he wrote according to this ranking.
This battle let us know Zhang Hao's level, which is comparable to Zhang Liao.
2. In the Battle of Yunshan, Zhang Hao was defeated by Zhao Yun in thirty rounds
Xuande was overjoyed, Yun Zheng horse with a gun, killed the rear team, and came to the front army to fight Zhang Yi alone. Hao and Yun fought for more than thirty years and defeated the horse. Yun took advantage of the situation to rush to kill, but was held by the soldiers of the mountain, and the road was narrow.
Zhang Hao singled out the second game and encountered a more powerful master than Zhang Liao, Changshan Zhao Zilong.
Zhao Yun first killed Gao Yan, then fought Zhang Hao, and was defeated by Zhao Yun in more than thirty rounds.
This is a record of Zhang Hao, who is well known to many people.
Zhang Hao was abused when he encountered the five tigers. Starting from Zhao Yun, Zhang Hao began his career of abuse in the early stage.
Here, Zhao Yun has been fighting for a long time before, and when he fights Zhang Hao, he has already suffered serious physical damage, and he can still defeat Zhang Hao in thirty rounds.
It can't be said that Zhang Yun is weak, twenty because Zhao Yun is too strong.
At the same time, the strength gap between the five tigers against Zhang Liao and Zhang Hao can also be seen here.
Earlier, Guan Yu once said to Zhang Fei that Zhang Liao's martial arts were not below them, giving people the illusion that Zhang Liao's martial arts were not inferior to Guan Zhang.
But after the battle of Guandu Zhang Liao and Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao was defeated by Zhao Yun, in fact, the author tells us in disguise that Zhang Liao's martial arts are actually inferior to Guan Zhang, and Zhang Hao is not as good as Zhao Yun.
In exchange for Zhang Liao facing Zhao Yun, it is also the part that will be defeated by Zhao Yun in more than thirty rounds.
It's just that the author cherishes Zhang Liao and can't bear to see him lose, so this loss can only pick Zhang Hao to eat.
In this battle, it can be seen that Zhang Hao fought against the five tigers. It can also reflect the martial arts gap between the five sons and the five tigers.
3, the big banquet Tongquetai, the surface archery competition, the actual martial arts ranking, suggesting that Zhang Hao can rank first
Under the order, in the red robe team, a young general suddenly came out, and everyone saw that it was Cao Xiuye. Hugh Pegasus went back and forth, galloped three times, buckled the arrow, dragged the bow, and shot an arrow, right in the heart. The golden drums beat in unison, and everyone applauded. Cao Cao looked at it on the stage and was overjoyed: "This family is thousands of miles away." Fang wanted to make people take the brocade robe and Cao Xiu, but he saw a horse in the green robe team flying out, and called: "Prime Minister Jin robe, let the foreign surname take first, it is not appropriate to cross it in the clan." "Treat the people who are wen pingye. The officials said: "And look at Wen Zhongye's shooting method." "Wen Ping threw his bow and rode the horse, and an arrow hit the heart. Everyone applauded, and the golden drums beat wildly. Ping shouted, "Get your robe!" I saw another pegasus in the red robe team come out, and said sharply: "Wen Lie shoots first, why do you have to fight?" Look at me and you two untie arrows! "Pull a full bow, shoot an arrow, and also hit the heart. The crowd cheered in unison. Depending on his person, it is Cao Hongye. Hong Fang wanted to take the robe, but saw another general in the green robe team, raised his bow and shouted: "Your three-person shooting method, why is it surprising?" Watch me! "Everyone sees it, it is Zhang Haoye. Hao Pegasus turned over, shot an arrow in the back, and also hit the red heart. Four arrows were gathered in the red heart. Everyone said, "Good shooting!" "The brocade robe must be mine." Before he could say anything, one of the pegasus in the red robe team came out and shouted: "Ru turned over and shot back, what is the difference?" Watch me shoot hearts! "Everyone sees it, it is Xiahou Yuanye. When the horse reached the entrance of the boundary, New turned around and shot an arrow, which was among the four arrows. Golden drums beat in unison. Yuanlema pressed his bow and shouted, "Can this arrow win the brocade robe?" I saw that in the green robe team, a general came out in response and shouted: "And leave the brocade robe with me Xu Huang!" Yuan: "What kind of shooting method does Ru have to take away my robe?" "It's not surprising that Ru grabs the red heart." Look at my single robe. "Throw the bow and take the arrow, look at the wicker shooting, just in time to shoot the wicker, the brocade robe falls to the ground. Xu Huangfei took the brocade robe, draped it on his body, and suddenly rode to the front of the stage and shouted: "Xie Cheng Xiangrobe!" Cao Cao and all the officials were envious. Huangcai was about to return, and suddenly a green-robed general jumped out of the side of the stage, shouting: "Where will you go to the brocade robe?" Stay with me early. "Everyone sees it, but Xu Chuye. "The robe is already here, how dare you take it!" Chu didn't answer, but a flying horse came to grab the robe. The two horses were close, and Xu Huang hit Xu Chu with his bow. Chu held the bow with one hand and dragged Xu Huang away from the saddle. Huang hurriedly abandoned the bow, rolled over and dismounted, Chu also dismounted, and the two grabbed and fought. The made the person untie, and the brocade robe was already torn to pieces. Ordered both to take the stage. Xu Huang opened his eyebrows and glared, Xu Chu gritted his teeth, each with the intention of fighting. jokes: "The courage of the lonely special to see the public is not a pity for a brocade robe!" "Then he taught all the generals to come to power, and each gave a horse of Shujin. The generals gave their own thanks. Order: Each sits according to the position.
There are three archery competitions in the original book. One of the most exciting is the section where the generals of the Tonjakutai compete with arrows. It can be around a brocade robe arrow method one is more clever than the other. Means one higher than the other.
Could it be that Luo Guanzhong is just engaged in an archery competition here? It's not.
He wanted to conduct a ranking of martial arts among Cao Wei martial generals through archery competitions.
In fact, if you look closely, you can see that the latter one who came out to shoot arrows is stronger than the previous one, in fact, it tells us that the one who came out later is stronger than the previous one.
In order of archery, they appeared: Cao Xiu, Wen Ping, Cao Hong, Zhang Hao, Xia Houyuan, Xu Huang, and Xu Chu.
Reverse the order back and forth: Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Xia Houyuan, Zhang Hao, Cao Hong, Wen Ping, Cao Xiu.
Is this a martial arts ranking?
Therefore, what seems to be an archery competition is actually the author's implied martial arts ranking.
Here, Zhang Hao ranks fourth among the seven.
And Xu Huang and Zhang Hao are both one of the five good generals. It can be seen that the five sons of good generals, the highest actual martial arts is Xu Huang, and Zhang Hao's martial arts are not as good as Xu Huang.
After all, Xu Huang can normally fight with Xu Chu for fifty rounds to tie, while Zhang Hao can play with Zhang Fei to fight for thirty or fifty rounds without losing.
Looking at it this way, Luo Guanzhong is still quite rigorous in its martial arts system.
4. The battle of Weiqiao, Zhang Hao was defeated by Ma Chao in 20 rounds
Zhang Hao's defeat by Ma Chao in 20 rounds is another famous scene of Zhang Hao.
Tortured by the second General of the Five Tigers.
At the same time, this battle also created the strongest record of Five Tigers against Five Sons.
5. In the Battle of Wakou Pass, Zhang Hao and Zhang Fei fought for thirty or fifty rounds
Looking at Zhang Fei's lantern candle, he was drinking in the tent. Zhang Hao took the lead, shouted, and the mountain beat the drum to help, and directly entered the Chinese army. But seeing Zhang Feiduan sitting still. Zhang Hao suddenly came to the front and stabbed down, but it was a grass man. When the horse returned in a hurry, a series of cannons were fired behind the tent. A general took the lead, blocking the way, opening his eyes, the sound was like a huge thunder, it was Zhang Feiye, holding up the spear and leaping horse, straight to Zhang Hao. The two generals will fight in the light of fire, until three or fifty. Zhang Hao only hoped that the two villages would come to the rescue, but who knew that the two villages had been killed and repelled by Wei Yan and Lei Tong, and they took the second village.
Zhang Hao and four of the five tiger generals have fought, and the only one who has not fought is Guan Yu.
But it was Zhang Hao against Zhang Fei's single-handedness that made many people quite confused.
Zhang Fei's level is a grade above Zhao Yunma. Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were able to quickly defeat Zhang Hao in twenty or thirty rounds.
Why did Zhang Fei and Zhang Hao fight for thirty or fifty rounds and still not win Zhang Hao?
Actually, it's easy to understand if you think about it this way.
Zhang Hao and Zhang Fei fought for thirty or fifty rounds, and Zhang Hao has been waiting for reinforcements to come to the rescue, which means that Zhang Hao has been waiting for reinforcements, so he is likely to fight Zhang Fei desperately, so he plays beyond normal.
As for Zhang Fei, he arranged for Wei Yanlei Tong to intercept the reinforcements in advance and copy Zhang Hao's back road. It doesn't take time to kill the reinforcements and copy Zhang Hao's hometown? Therefore, Zhang Fei was spending time with Zhang Hao in order to buy time for Wei Yan and them. If Zhang Yifei quickly defeated Zhang Hao, how could he buy time for Wei Yan and the others to copy Zhang Hao's hometown?
Therefore, I think the reason why Zhang Fei was able to fight Zhang Hao for thirty or fifty rounds was that Zhang Fei released water. Zhang Hao played with his life.
The desperate Zhang Hao and the Zhang Fei who released water fought for thirty or fifty rounds, which I think is understandable.
In fact, a martial general of Zhang Hao's level and five tigers can indeed carry it for fifty or sixty rounds.
Just look at this example:
Cao Hong slashed the knife and jumped the horse, stopped Ma Chao, and escaped with his life. Hong and Ma Chao fought until forty or fifty, and gradually the knife technique was scattered, and the strength was not increased.
The desperate Cao Hong and Ma Chao fought hard for forty or fifty rounds before being defeated.
And Zhang Hao's strength is stronger than Cao Hong. That Zhang Hao played desperately and fought with the five tigers for fifty or sixty rounds.
Therefore, Zhang Fei and Zhang Hao fought for thirty or fifty rounds, and both sides had their own reasons.
6, Zhao Yun and Huangzhong abused Zhang Hao separately
Among them, there is also Huang Zhong's strategy to defeat Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao and Xu Huang saw that Zhao Yun did not dare to fight.
Huang Zhong's abuse of Zhang Hao was not a direct defeat of Zhang Hao in martial arts, and Zhang Hao was abused by stratagem in twenty years. If the two really want to fight, Huang Zhong will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Hao positively, but the time will be longer and the number of rounds will be more.
During the battle of Hanshui, Zhao Yun's battle was too terrifying, and he directly played special effects. So much so that Zhang Hao Xu Huang was so scared that he did not dare to fight.
But even if you go to war, you can't fight.
7. In the era of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Zhang Hao was invincible to the world, officially became the first in the world, and fought the most peak battle
Hao could not go up the mountain, but beat his horse and danced his gun, rushed out of the encirclement, and no one dared to stop him. The Shu soldiers trapped Dai Ling in the heart. Hao killed out of the old road, did not see Dai Ling, that is, bravely turned over and entered the siege, rescued Dai Ling and returned. Kong Ming saw Hao on the mountain in the midst of ten thousand armies, clashing back and forth, and his bravery was doubled, which was said to be left and right: "When I heard of Zhang Yide fighting Zhang Hao, everyone was terrified." When I see it today, I know its courage. If this person is left, it will be a disaster in Shuzhong.
Although Zhang Hao has been abused by the Five Tigers level before. But Zhang Hao knows a truth, living long is the last word.
Zhang Hao successfully survived all those who were stronger than him. Ushered in its own era. Finally became the number one in the world.
I also experienced the feeling of being the first in the world.
So he played the most brilliant record of his life. Repaired a single ride to break through.
Zhang Hao killed the encirclement by himself, and no one dared to stop it. Seeing his partner Dai Ling trapped in the core, he turned over and rescued Dai Ling.
It is also this battle that can see the gap between Wei Yan and Zhang Hao, after all, such a record, to Wei Yan, can not play in a lifetime.
This is also why, at that time, Zhang Hao was the number one in the world, not Wei Yan.
Although only Wei Yan could match Zhang Hao at that time, Wei Yan was always a little worse than Zhang Hao.
8, Wei Yan and Zhang Hao, who is strong?
Finally, explore a question. In the later period, when Zhang Hao was invincible in the world, only Wei Yan could match Zhang Hao, so who were these two stronger?
It's a pity that the author never let the two of them fight properly. A big suspense is set up, and it also keeps the reader guessing.
But in fact, although the two have not fought, it gives people the feeling that Zhang Hao is a little stronger than Wei Yan.
In fact, the book has already told Zhang Hao and Wei Yan who is powerful.
Remember the archery competition mentioned earlier? It is the ranking of martial arts in the author's platoon. There is a key person in it, called Wen Ping.
This Wen Ping had fought with Wei Yan for several hours without winning or losing, and it can be said that Wei Yan and Wen Ping can be completely equated. And the martial arts order of the archery competition, Zhang Hao is more powerful than Wen Ping, and there is a Cao Hong between the two.
Zhang Hao is more powerful than Wen Ping, and naturally he is more powerful than Wei Yan.
So, why didn't Zhang Hao and Wei Yan fight much, but gave us the feeling that Zhang Hao was stronger than Wei Yan? Because this is what the author makes us feel.
The author did not say it explicitly, but the answer has long been given, it depends on whether we can find out.
To sum up, Zhang Hao's martial arts and Zhang Liao, Xiahou Wei, Xia Houyuan, Sun Ce, and Tai Shici are all in the same echelon, and they are all first-class masters of the Three Kingdoms.
In the Four Courts Pillar of Hebei, the author also clearly said that Zhang Hao Wuyi ranked fourth.
Among the five good generals, Xu Huang is the first in martial arts, and the fifth in the ban. Zhang Hao, Zhang Liao, who martial arts second all said the past. Therefore, Zhang Hao's martial arts are the second and third in the five good generals.
Although Zhang Hao's martial arts are not as good as the top ten masters of the Five Tigers, Zhang Hao's strength can also enter the top twenty of the entire Three Kingdoms. After all, it is also an abused existence to change to someone at the same level as Zhang Hao and face the top ten such as Wuhu. Therefore, there is no shame in Zhang Hao losing.
Don't look at this top twenty is very low, there are three or four hundred martial generals in the whole book, Zhang Hao can rank in the top twenty, this level is already quite good.
