Preface
The first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, is it really Lu Bu?
I heard that the first fierce general in the Three Kingdoms period, who was the first person you thought of?
I believe that many people's first reaction will be Lu Bu. Indeed, Lu Bu "has thousands of pounds and ten thousand arms", riding a horse and beating people like moths throwing fire, and becoming a hero in the hands of dozens of Cao Jun's fierce generals. However, is he really worthy of the reputation of the first fierce general?
If we re-examine the heroes and heroes in the Three Kingdoms who are inspiring and have been passed down as good stories, will you change your mind? Let's take a look at the process of fighting for each other among the fierce generals in the long history of the Three Kingdoms, and find the real "first"!
Xu Chu: Ranked in the top 10 but the strength is mediocre
In the hearts of many people, Lu Bu is not the first, and some people even think that he can't even squeeze into the top ten. Xu Chu, who is known as the first fierce general under Cao Cao, actually only has an empty title.
In 190 AD, Xu Chu followed Cao Cao to raise troops against Dong Zhuo, and fought against Lü Bu in Puyang, but he could no longer support it in less than twenty rounds. Later, whether it was the battle with Guan Yu or the battle with veterans Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei decades later, Xu Chu was also at a disadvantage.
It can be said that Xu Chu is not worthy of the title of the first fierce general at all. Looking at the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, his strength may only rank tenth!
Ma Chao: When he was young, his strength was first-rate
In contrast, Ma Chao's martial arts strength is obviously stronger than Xu Chu. In 211 AD, Ma Chao was ordered to guard Jiameng Pass and launched an earth-shattering decisive battle with Zhang Fei, the general of Shu.
At that time, Ma Chao was only in his early thirties, while Zhang Fei was already nearly fifty. After more than 30 rounds of fighting, it was still difficult to distinguish the winner. It can be seen that Ma Chao's strength is so strong that he can compete with Zhang Fei.
It's a pity that when Ma Chao took refuge in Liu Bei, he was already middle-aged. If you can go to the battlefield younger, I am afraid that you can overwhelm the crowd and become the real first fierce general.
Yan Liang: Became famous in the first fight and died too quickly
Speaking of the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, how can we forget Yan Liang, who became famous in World War I! In 219 AD, the Sun-Liu coalition army fought the Wei army in Guandu. Yan Liang bore the brunt of the attack, and it only took more than 20 rounds to severely damage Xu Huang, a famous general of the Cao army.
Cao Ying's fierce generals were all frightened, and no one dared to fight. However, Yan Liang's spring and autumn period will soon pass. In the subsequent confrontation with Guan Yu, the general of Shu State, Yan Liang was beheaded in only a few rounds.
In just a few years, Yan Liang was ranked among the top ten fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms. It's a pity that under Guan Erye's knife, this rising star has fallen and failed to prosper for a long time.
Zhao Yun: Shu is the first brave and resolute to compete
When it comes to the fierce generals of Shu, the first thing that comes to people's minds is often Guan Yunchang. Actually, Zhao Zilong's martial arts are not under Guan Erye.
Zhao Yun often charged into battle to relieve the siege for the lord. Wen Chou, who fought with Lu Bu for more than 80 rounds without winning or losing, when he met Guan Erye, he retreated in just a few rounds. It can be seen that Zhao Zilong's force is not under Guan Yu.
Later generations often said that Zhao Yun's martial arts were comprehensive, but it was a pity that he was slightly inferior to Zhang Fei. However, in the future, Zhao Zilong will definitely benefit a lot from the martial arts of Shu, and eventually surpass a good player like Wei Yan and become the first fierce general of Shu.
Guan Yu: The second brother of Shu is strong
Speaking of the predecessors in the martial arts of Shu Kingdom, we can't fail to mention the head of the five tiger generals, the gentian leopard Guan Yu.
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao ordered Yuan Shao's remnants and Lu Bu to fight to the death. Zhang Liao, Fan Chou and other more than ten fierce generals besieged, Lu Bu still took the lead. At the end of the crossbow, the two brothers fought in front of the battle and fought with Lu Bu for dozens of rounds before they captured him alive.
It can be seen that Guan Yu's strength back then was not inferior to Lu Qibu, who was known as an improper man. Even after many years of fighting with the veteran Huang Zhong in Changsha, it was inseparable.
It's a pity that Guan Yu, who has been the second brother for a long time, coupled with the suspicion of the lord Liu Bei, is destined to be difficult to leave. However, his iron-blooded and fearless quality, as well as his mind that makes people want to look up, will always remain in the hearts of the descendants of Shu!
Zhang Fei: The number one person of the new generation of Shu
When it comes to Guan and Zhang, many people may think that the dragon head and tiger tail and Zhang Feima are behind the cannon. But the good players who really know martial arts know that Zhang Fei is the real rising star of Shu martial arts.
In the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Ma Chao led 100,000 troops to Hanzhong. Zhang Fei faced Yu Mengguan, and the two launched an earth-shattering duel. Ma Chao believes that he is young and advantageous, and he is bent on winning. The two fought for dozens of rounds, and the victory and defeat were inseparable.
It can be seen that Zhang Fei, who was more than fifty years old at that time, was already a difficult opponent for Ma Chao. If he is twenty years younger, how can he be a super opponent of Ma? It can be seen that Zhang Fei's strength has surpassed that of his brother Guan Yu, and he is the most powerful one in the new generation of Shu Kingdom.
Zhang Fei has a straightforward personality and does not leave a way back. This may make people feel unstable and ahead of Guan Yu. In the final analysis, martial arts pay attention to real kung fu, not a gentle appearance. Zhang Fei led the new martial arts generation of Shu Kingdom, and he will definitely shake Huaxia and raise his eyebrows!
Huang Zhong: The old and strong god of war
The veteran Huang Zhong has been mentioned many times above, why is he so strong?
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao conquered Sun Quan in the south. In the battle of Changsha before this, Huang Zhong was already more than sixty years old, but after the battle with Guan Yu, who was in his early fifties, the two were indistinguishable.
It can be seen that Huang Zhong's strength is not inferior to Guan Yu. If the two are the same age, I am afraid that Guan Yu will also be defeated by Huang Zhong's knife. It really lives up to the reputation of "old and strong"!
After Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun defected to Shu with their lord Liu Bei, they couldn't help but be fascinated when they saw these terrifying new stars of Shu Kingdom. Perhaps it was the appearance of the martial arts rookies that made Huang Zhong's old and decrepit body rekindle his pride, and he went further and further on the road of old and strong!
Lu Bu: The first fierce man of the Three Kingdoms is invincible
Speaking of the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, I have to mention Lu Qibu, who is "full of strength and victory in a hundred battles".
In the third year of Jian'an, Lu Bu defeated Guo Yan, the strongest at the time, in dozens of rounds of the Battle of Baimenlou, and became famous in one fell swoop. Later, Cao Cao's army was broken in Qili Mountain, and Cao Cao was ashamed and angry. In the battle of Puyang, Xu Chu was defeated in just over ten rounds.
When Lu Bu died, he was only thirty-six years old. If he lives to middle age, I am afraid that there will be no heroes in the world who can defeat him. Lu Bu, who is known as the improper general, can be called the first fierce general, and he deserves his name!
It's a pity that in the end, it was difficult to escape the fate of more than ten fierce generals besieging it. However, Lu Bu's unsubdued and uninhibited personality has become a good story that has been passed down through the ages, infecting everyone who has read the story of the Three Kingdoms!
Qu A junior general: A peerless powerhouse who commands the world to never meet an opponent
Of course, above Lu Bu, there is a more powerful general - Qu A, a young general under Sun Ce.
In the fourth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce led the army to attack Jiangdong Taishici. Tai Shici personally led the team to meet the battle and brought General Qu A with him.
At that time, there were twelve brave and skilled generals under Sun Ce's command, but Qu Ah stopped them all by himself, and it actually dragged on for a whole hour!
Tai Shi Ci is one of the best masters in the world and can compete with Sun Ce. From this point of view, the strength of the young general Qu A may have surpassed Lu Bu, and he can be called a generation of heroes! It's a pity that he didn't get a more detailed description in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, otherwise it would be a swan song for the world!
Vulture Bone: The ultimate challenge before the collapse of Shu Han
The name vulture bone is probably not familiar to many people. However, he is the most powerful ultimate challenge in the entire Three Kingdoms period!
In the eighth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang led the army to the south, and he was invincible all the way. In the ninth year of Jianxing, he arrived in Nanzhong Yizhou to attack Meng Huo, but during this time, he met the legendary master - the peerless ironclad giant Vulture Bone, who was eight feet tall, riding an elephant, and was invulnerable!
At that time, Zhuge Liang's tent gathered Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and other fierce generals, but no one dared to face it head-on. The strength of the vultures is no less powerful than that of Rama's son, Rakshasa!
When Zhuge Liang's wisdom was exhausted and the army's morale was weakened, Providence seemed to tell him that the moment when the Shu Kingdom was destroyed was finally coming......
epilogue
When we look back at the blood-boiling battles and duels, it may be difficult to conclude who is the real number one general.
In the era of the Three Kingdoms, where there were many heroes, there will never be a shortage of fierce generals who are eager to burn jade and stones, just to die and become famous! They are either old and strong, or they are vigorous; or lead a crowd of people, or have the courage of invincible......
However, no matter how strong or weak they are, their spirit of loyalty and tenderness and sacrifice for the country has never changed by half a point! This is the spirit that truly touches the hearts of the people and immortalizes the heroes of the Three Kingdoms!
