The robe is stained with blood, the silver spear reflects the sunset, and the enemy is riding alone, who is brave and fearless! On the slope of Nagasaka, he was exhausted, but he still charged bravely. There was a sparkle of determination in his eyes, and his face was full of fearless courage. With the bravery of a husband, on the battlefield, his handsome figure has become a nightmare for the enemy and makes his comrades proud. The brilliant achievements will always be engraved in the long river of history.
is talking about the "ever-winning general" Changshan Zhao Zilong Zhao Yun, although he is only ranked third among the five tiger generals, but it cannot be denied that Zhao Yun lost to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, let's talk about if it is fair and heads-up, who can beat this handsome Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms!
Zhao Yun's highlight moment
In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, it is not easy to choose a stage that suits you and become a military general who really makes a difference. Zhao Yun knows that ideals and ambitions are like glass, bright but fragile, and they are always in danger of being drowned by the wheels of history.
People of insight need to find a master and build their own stage. After careful consideration, Zhao Yun chose to follow Liu Bei, who had a benevolent heart, and opened a magnificent chapter in his life.
Compared with famous generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun's reputation is relatively bleak. Compared with the deep friendship formed by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the lord Liu Bei at the end of the year, Zhao Yun seems to lack such a bond.
However, Zhao Yun never indulged in comparisons, and he was not bothered by fame or affection. Instead, he focused on completing each mission with all his heart and soul, traveling from battlefield to battlefield to continuously improve his martial arts abilities. This tenacious attitude and dedicated dedication have made Zhao Yun a military general that cannot be ignored after the baptism of war, even if his reputation is not as good as that of other heroes, but the strength he has accumulated is an existence that cannot be ignored.
After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei fought a fierce battle with Cao Cao's elite troops for the safety of hundreds of thousands of Jingzhou people. However, the exhausted army was no match for Cao's army, and Liu Bei was forced to lead his cronies away, and his family was separated as a result. At this time of crisis, Zhao Yun did not hesitate to turn back and enter the battlefield to find Liu Bei's family and protect the young lord Liu Chan.
Although Zhao Yun could have evacuated safely, he resolutely rode back and rushed into Cao's army again. His enemies were the Cao army, which was also famous for its elite tiger and leopard cavalry. However, Zhao Yun was not afraid at all, the silver spear in his hand became his biggest reliance, and finding Liu Bei's family became his firm goal.
In the long-term battlefield, Zhao Yun has accumulated a wealth of experience. At this moment, these experiences play their most role in the life-and-death situation. No one could stop Zhao Yun's bravery, and more than fifty generals in Cao Cao's army became the souls of his guns one after another. Ordinary soldiers couldn't stop Zhao Yun's galloping figure. In this way, Zhao Yun was like no one in Cao's army, seven in and seven out, and finally found the isolated and trembling young lord Liu Chan, and protected the future of Shu.
Zhao Yun's brilliant achievements in Changbanpo fully demonstrated his strong strength and engraved his heroic deeds in the depths of people's hearts. At this moment, Zhao Yun's reputation shook the world, and his reputation spread rapidly, and he became the best of the generals in the Three Kingdoms period in one fell swoop. In the contest of personal strength, there are very few generals who can match Zhao Yun.
Then let's take a look at how many people can beat Zhao Yun if the 1V1 is a fair duel!
Xu Chu
A well-known fierce general, his bravery is the best in Cao Wei's camp. He once had a fierce battle with the famous Xiliang general Ma Chao, and the strength of the two sides was equal, and there was no winner or loser. However, when Zhao Yun appeared on the stage, Xu Chu's force did not seem to be able to compete with him.
In the battle of Yushan, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu fought, and Zhao Yun, who was at his peak, bore the brunt of the duel with Xu Chu in order to save Liu Bei. After more than 30 rounds of fierce fighting, the two still had no victory. Xu Chu realized that it would be difficult to defeat Zhao Yun on his own, so he joined forces with Yu Ban and Li Dian to attack. However, Zhao Yun was brave and fearless, and was still able to break through the siege and eventually win.
This battle showed that even with the assistance of the two fierce generals, Xu Chu still could not defeat Zhao Yun. This fully demonstrated Zhao Yun's combat power in the Three Kingdoms. At the same time, it also reflects that although Xu Chu is brave, he is still inferior in front of Zhao Yun. It can be seen that in the battle between Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, Zhao Yun has the upper hand.
Dian Wei
Dian Wei was a power fighter during the Three Kingdoms period, known for his great strength and commendable courage. In the Battle of Puyang, he successfully repelled Lü Bu's attack with one person, showing outstanding military exploits. However, in terms of force value, Dian Wei is comparable to Xu Chu.
In the historical record, Dian Wei excelled in the Battle of Puyang, where he led a team of halberds to effectively stop the offensive of Lü Bu's army. Dian Wei excelled at using his halberd to perform precise flying spurs, bringing Lü Bu's army to a stalemate, demonstrating his superior military prowess.
However, in contrast, Zhao Yun is good at using the nimble Gentian Bright Silver Spear, and his skills are more agile. At his peak, Zhao Yun's strength should not be underestimated. If Dian Wei really faced Zhao Yun at his peak, the result might be similar to a duel with Xu Chu, unable to defeat Zhao Yun, but hopefully saving his life.
Guan yu
The record of beheading Yan Liang and Wen Chou has directly pushed Guan Yu's prestige to the peak, which can be described as invincible! However, if you savor these two battles, you will find that Guan Yu's victory was not so easy.
In the battle with Xu Huang, Yan Liang was able to defeat Xu Huang for twenty consecutive rounds, which made Cao Jun's generals daunted. This shows that Yan Liang is definitely an excellent fierce general, surpassing even the tough Xu Chu who can't defeat Xu Huang in 20 rounds. However, Guan Yu easily killed Yan Liang in one battle, which really surprised everyone. Watching this battle, many people may mistakenly think that Guan Yu's strength is better than Lu Bu's.
However, a close reading of the original text reveals something unusual. Yan Liang should have been fully prepared for battle when Guan Yu arrived, but in fact, he had been under his command and showed no signs of being ready to fight. This led to a series of depictions of "when Yan Liang wanted to ask" and "Yan Liang was caught off guard", which made people confused. However, the original text reveals the essence of Yan Liang's contempt for the enemy. Liu Xuande once entrusted Yan Liang with a brother named Guan Yunchang, who was nine feet five inches tall and was good at wielding the Qinglong broadsword, and asked Yan Liang to invite Guan Yu to come as soon as he saw him. Yan Liang mistakenly thought that Guan Yu had come to surrender, but unexpectedly, Guan Yu had come to take his life. Therefore, Guan Yu was able to kill Yan Liang, and the luck component in this battle cannot be ignored.
Although Guan Yu's record of killing Yan Liang is remarkable, there is also a certain element of luck in it, which is not enough to fully prove his level of force. In the next battle, Guan Yu couldn't defeat Huang Zhong in his sixties in a hundred rounds, and he also failed to defeat Ma Chao's deputy general Pang De, which made people question Guan Yu's strength even more.
Therefore, this article argues that Guan Yu's strength may not be enough to defeat Zhao Yun, especially during the Jingzhou period, and it is even more difficult to become Zhao Yun's opponent. Although Guan Yu is highly praised by everyone, this may not be the case.
Zhang Fei
Speaking of Zhao Yun, the Battle of Changbanpo is a chapter that cannot be ignored. Although he excelled in battle, he is better known for his loyalty rather than mere force.
When Liu Bei's army encountered a fierce attack by Cao's army at Changbanpo, Liu Bei himself abandoned his wife and son and fled the battlefield in a hurry. However, at this critical moment, Zhao Yun chose to rise to the challenge, returned to Cao Ying, and successfully rescued Mrs. Gan and Liu Chan. In the case that many people around Liu Bei followed Liu Bei to flee, only Zhao Yun cared about Liu Bei's family, and bravely rescued Liu Bei's relatives without regard to personal safety. This act of loyalty has touched countless people and has become an immortal legend of Zhao Yun.
It is worth noting that in the operation to save Liu Chan, Zhao Yun did not directly engage in a head-on battle with General Cao Junyong, but went all out to avoid them and try not to engage in a hard-to-head confrontation with them. In the entire battle, Zhao Yun only fought against Zhang He, and Cao Ying's fierce generals, such as Xu Chu, Xiahoudun, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, etc., Zhao Yun did not directly confront. Even Cao Ren, Li Dian, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xu Chu and others were not afraid in the process of chasing Zhao Yun.
However, in fact, when Cao Yingmeng chased after Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei stepped forward and saved Zhao Yun. In the face of Zhang Fei's might, these Cao Junmeng generals retreated timidly, and were finally frightened into collapse. Judging from the performance of Cao Junzhong against Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, it is obvious that they are more afraid of Zhang Fei. In other words, Zhang Fei's combat power is higher than Zhao Yun's, and if the two go head-to-head, the victory will inevitably belong to Zhang Fei. This is a big surprise.
Ma Chao
Ma Chao, one of the five tiger generals, is known as a rising star and has strong strength. However, compared to Zhao Yun, Ma Chao seems to be slightly inferior.
Soon after Ma Chao defected to Liu Bei, Zhao Yun intended to give this new generation of fierce generals a dismissal. At that time, Ma Chao was conceited and strong in martial arts, and there was no one in his eyes. Seeing this, Zhao Yun decided to meet friends with martial arts and teach Ma Chao a good lesson. In the face of Zhao Yun's amazing force, Ma Chao couldn't help but be shocked and respected Zhao Yun.
Since then, Ma Chao has changed his arrogant attitude in the past, bowed down to Liu Bei, and actively asked for war to show his loyalty. This change is enough to prove that Zhao Yun's strength is above Ma Chao, and Ma Chao is convinced.
From this point of view, Zhao Yun's martial arts are indeed higher than Ma Chao.
Huang Zhong
Huang Zhong, a veteran in the Battle of Changsha, drew with Guan Yu at the age of 60, which amazed the world. Although there is no detailed record of Huang Zhong's achievements in his youth, we can still speculate that his martial arts skills may have been even more impressive. However, when comparing the martial arts of Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, we still take the record of the elderly Huang Zhong as the standard.
During the Battle of Hanshui, Huang Zhong was besieged by Xu Huang and Zhang He and found himself in trouble. However, as soon as Zhao Yun appeared, he easily defeated Xu Huang and Zhang He, making them afraid to fight, and then successfully rescued Huang Zhong. In this battle, Zhao Yun showed excellent martial arts, obviously above Huang Zhong.
From this point of view, Zhao Yun's martial arts are indeed above Huang Zhong. And in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun's record is enough to prove that he is a brave and invincible general. Although Huang Zhong's record in old age was still brilliant, he was still slightly inferior to Zhao Yun.
Xiahoudun
Xiahoudun's toughness can be seen in the romance, he was able to fight to a draw with Lu Bu and Guan Yu, and even killed Gao Shun in a short period of time, showing his outstanding combat strength. However, Xiahoudun's combat power was severely damaged in the battle with Lu Bu's men, and his left eye was blinded by Cao Xing, which forced him to quietly withdraw from the front-line battlefield.
In contrast, Zhao Yun has always shown extraordinary martial arts and combat ability in Romance. His loyalty, righteousness, and outstanding performance at critical moments made him one of the most respected generals in the romance. Zhao Yun's achievements and victories have made his image more prominent in people's hearts.
Despite Xiahoudun's amazing exploits in the Romance, he was injured and lost an eye in a confrontation with Lu Bu's men, which makes it difficult to directly compare who is stronger in martial arts between him and Zhao Yun. However, through the depiction of Zhao Yun's heroic battle in the romance and his loyalty at critical moments, this article argues that Zhao Yun may be superior.
Wen Chou
When Zhao Yun first appeared, he had a fierce battle with the famous Hebei general Wen Chou. The two battled each other for 50 rounds, and in the end there was no winner. It seems that the combat effectiveness of the two is comparable, but in fact, since Zhao Yun was a fledgling young man at that time, and his combat power had not yet reached its peak, it can be considered that Zhao Yun's strength was above Wen Chou.
Yan Liang
Liang was killed by Guan Yu in one round in the romance, which caused many people to question his strength, thinking that he was not a top general. However, in fact, there are some strange things about Yan Liang's death. Prior to this, he had made the generals of Cao Yingzhong dare not raise their heads with his strong combat effectiveness.
As an arrogant general, Xiahoudun was fearless in the face of Lu Bu and Guan Yu, but when facing Yan Liang, he was timid and did not dare to fight. Similarly, Xu Chu is also an arrogant general, who is not afraid to fight against Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, but when facing Yan Liang, he also shows timidity and does not dare to act rashly. In the entire romance, there are only two situations in which Cao Yingzhong's generals cower in the face of the provocation of the enemy general, once when Nagasaka Bridge faced Zhang Fei, and the other when the Battle of White Horse faced Yan Liang. It can be seen that compared with Zhao Yun, Cao Yingzhong is more afraid of Yan Liang, so it can be said that Yan Liang's combat strength surpasses Zhao Yun.
Finally, of course, we have to talk about Lu Bu
Lu Bu's fighting strength was fully reflected in the romance, and he became an invincible existence with his unparalleled martial arts and powerful fighting skills. Even some famous generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are difficult to win in heads-up. In the Battle of Puyang, Luo Guanzhong further emphasized Lü Bu's strength through Cao Cao's words, which made Lü Bu's combat strength more prominent. Therefore, in the situation of fighting against Lu Bu, other generals, including Zhao Yun, could not resist Lu Bu's onslaught and would definitely face defeat.
epilogue
In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, there are many heroes, but there are only ten people who can be at the same level as Zhao Yun. There are only three people who can defeat Zhao Yun! Lu Bu is naturally no problem, he is recognized as the strongest and indisputable, and Zhang Feiyan can beat Zhao Yun There are also traces to follow.
Of course, the strength and weakness of all the generals is only the editor's personal opinion, and most of the generals have not directly fought with Zhao Yun.
But let's not forget Zhao Yun's title: "Victorious General"!
