1. Like divine help, who is the one who is in Guandu to defeat the tiger idiot?
In 200 AD, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle at Guandu. There was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides in this battle, and Cao Cao should be at a disadvantage. Unexpectedly, Xu Chu under Cao Cao was an extremely strong general. He was wearing black chain mail and holding a 92-pound steel knife, only to see his eyes wide open, and he slaughtered into the Yuan army formation with great momentum. Xu Chu successively killed Yuan Shao's famous generals Song Xian and Wei Xu, and for a time Yuan's army was defeated and retreated.
At this time, Yuan Shao's command also came out of a general to fight. I saw that he was wearing silver-white soft armor, holding a 128-pound Zhangba snake spear, and his bearing was extraordinary. He is Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang. Yan Liang has a great reputation, and he once showed off his power with Lu Bu, which is unparalleled in the world. When he saw Xu Chu's bravery, he immediately struck head-on. The two fought for dozens of rounds, with swords, guns, swords and halberds on their bodies, and they were all injured by each other. Xu Chu finally couldn't beat Yan Liang's bravery, and he couldn't support it. Fortunately, Cao Cao Mingjin withdrew his troops and saved Xu Chu's life. It can be seen that in the first battle of Guandu, Yan Liang's strength was far above Xu Chu.
However, we have to admit that Xu Chu also showed amazing merit in this decisive battle. He is a fierce general with strong martial arts and full of wildness. The record mentions that he once had such a deed: Once, Xu Chu was riding through a grassland when he suddenly saw a bison grazing. He grabbed the reins of his horse, drew his steel sword, and rode his horse towards the bison for dozens of feet, and then he pounced, jumped up from his horse, and slashed at the bison's neck. Only a crisp sound of "snort" was heard, and the bison fell to the ground and died. It can be seen that Xu Chu's arm strength is incredible!
In the battle of Guandu, Xu Chu overcame all obstacles and entered the defense line of Yuan's army. He held a big knife in his hand, rushed left and right, and rolled up a thousand waves. Finally, he saw one of the fierce generals in Yuan Shao's army, Song Xian. This Song Xian is a disciple of Fan Xu, and he made a 128-pound Zhangba snake spear extremely powerful. Xu Chu's heart exploded with a bang, vigorous. He shouted loudly and drove his horse straight towards Song Xian. Hearing only two crisp "bells", the snake spear in Song Xian's hand had been cut in half. Then Xu Chu took advantage of the situation and cut Song Xian into two sections.
Cao Cao's army was in high spirits and fought their way out of the encirclement one after another. At this time, Xu Chu caught a glimpse of a veteran standing in the opponent's military formation, which looked very familiar. It turned out that this was Yuan Shao's other fierce general, Wei Xu. Wei Xu made an 82-pound peach-shaped axe, which had fought with Lu Bu. Seeing this, Xu Chu shouted sharply: "Those who dare to come, Keri will be killed!" Before the words fell, he had already clamped the spur and killed Wei Xu like a lightning speed. Just listen to a few crisp "clanging sounds", and the big axe has fallen into the dust. Immediately afterwards, there was a soft sound of "poof", and Wei Xu's head had left his shoulder. The mighty and abnormal Xu Chu fought his way out of the encirclement!
However, at this moment, a silver-armored general also walked out of Yuan Shao's army. This is the Yan Liang mentioned at the beginning of our article. He held a 128-pound Zhangba snake spear and rushed to challenge Xu Chu. The two had a fierce battle and were evenly matched. They killed from daylight to dusk, and from dusk to dawn. Although Xu Chu is extremely brave, he is also difficult to match Yan Liang's stunts. In the end, Cao Cao had to rescue in person, and Mingjin withdrew his troops to save Xu Chu's life.
It can be seen that in the battle of Guandu, Yan Liang's force has completely defeated Xu Chu. However, Xu Chu was brave and brave, and he also established great military exploits. Both of them are rare fierce generals in the world, and their strength is comparable. So this contest is a classic and moving!
Second, the beauty plan angered Zhang Fei, who can balance his edge after all?
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao marched south against Liu Bei. At Dangyang Bridge, Zhang Fei single-handedly resisted Cao's 5,000 fierce cavalry. Among them, there are more fierce generals such as Xiahoudun, Zhang He, and Xu Huang. However, Zhang Fei was furious, holding a black snake spear in his hand, and opened his bow left and right, as if entering a no-man's land. Let dozens of fierce generals besiege it, it is like breaking a bamboo and blowing a forest.
At this time, the tiger idiot Xu Chu also joined the battle group. He believed that he was strong in martial arts, and he stepped forward to compete. Who knew that Zhang Fei relied on the snake spear and knocked Xu Chu to the ground with a light weight. Xu Chu was in pain and fled for his life in embarrassment. Zhang Fei took advantage of the victory to pursue, and was about to take his head with a spear. The battlefield was critical, but fortunately, Xiahoudun led the troops to relieve the siege and saved Xu Chu's life. Zhang Fei had the greatest credit in this battle, and even Cao Cao was impressed by him. It can be seen that Zhang Fei's martial arts are not only superior to Xu Chu, but also invincible in the entire Three Kingdoms.
The causes and consequences of this battle are worth pondering. At that time, Cao Cao was shocked when he learned that Liu Bei had evacuated Xinye and went north to Hanzhong. Because this means that Liu Bei wants to unite with Zhang Lu, the king of Hanzhong, and take Bashu in the west. This is extremely detrimental to Cao Cao and must be stopped. So he immediately organized an army, led by Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, and others, personally commanded the town, and sent troops in a large number to annihilate Liu Bei's army.
However, Liu Bei got the news and decided to make a desperate bet and personally led the people to force the Han River to the north. This move came as a surprise to Cao Cao, as it meant that Liu Bei would abandon Xiangyang and return north to Hanzhong at any cost. Cao Cao saw that Liu Bei was so desperate and risked his life, and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart. He ordered Xiahoudun and others to follow Liu Bei and press forward step by step.
However, Zhang Fei stepped forward and vowed to break off. He waved his Zhangba snake spear and stationed majestically at Dangyang Bridge, trying to cut off the pursuers. Seeing Zhang Fei's murderous spirit, Cao Junzhong's generals did not dare to step forward easily. The two sides confronted each other for a long time, and when Zhang Fei saw that the pursuers did not dare to advance, he laughed angrily, so he shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, when will you come?" For a while, the momentum was huge and terrifying!
At this time, Cao Cao's adviser offered a plan and said that it was better to send a beautiful woman to tempt Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei heard a beautiful woman praising him, and couldn't help but step forward to talk. At this time, Xiahou Yuan and the others suddenly broke out of the encirclement, and Zhang Fei jumped like thunder, killing dozens of people in one go. Xu Chu also saw that the momentum was not right, and hurried to the rescue. However, no matter how powerful his horse marksmanship is, he can't match Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear after all. In the end, I could only flee in the wilderness, embarrassed!
It can be seen that Zhang Fei's martial arts are far stronger than Xu Chu. He was brave and brave, and he could be called an invincible opponent of the Three Kingdoms! In this battle, Zhang Fei not only repelled the tiger idiot, but also made great contributions and successfully saved Liu Bei's retreat. Lots of credit!
3. Who is better than Zilong in martial arts? Zhao Yun's courage is breathtaking
In the five years of Jian'an, Liu Bei's subordinates only had more than 1,000 people. However, Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 to chase after him. At this time, Zhao Yun took one as ten, and he did not hesitate to break back. On the Changban slope, Zhao Yunli fought against Cao Junmeng and killed him among the ten thousand troops. and killed dozens of Cao Cao's elites. Seven in and seven out, chivalrous and righteous.
Seeing this, Cao Cao immediately sent the fierce general Xu Chu to meet the battle. The two confronted each other, up and down, and seemed to be on equal footing. But after dozens of rounds, Zhao Yun had the upper hand slightly, and Xu Chu gradually couldn't support it. Fortunately, Cao Cao mobilized troops to respond and saved Xu Chu. Since then, everyone in the world has talked about Zhao Yun's bravery. It can be seen that Zhao Yun's martial arts are far above Xu Chu.
This contest between Zhao Yun and Xu Chu can be called thrilling. At that time, Liu Bei evacuated Xinye, only took more than 1,000 soldiers, and fled north in a hurry. There was Cao Cao's 100,000 army in hot pursuit. The situation was extremely unfavorable for Liu Bei. Zhao Yun, as a fierce general under Liu Bei, had a warm blood in his heart, and he simply dismissed Yun Chang and broke off alone. He actually wanted to use one enemy and ten to block the pursuit of Cao's army.
At this time, the vanguard of Cao's army also arrived. The leader is the fierce general under Cao Cao. Yu Ban was born as a martial artist, and he was also fluent in literature and ink, making a 128-kilogram steel knife. He led 5,000 iron cavalry to chase after him, and he was about to catch up with Liu Bei's army. Suddenly, I saw smoke and dust billowing in. This man was dressed in white and held a silver spear. It was Zhao Zilong beside Liu Bei.
Yu Ban shouted loudly and swung his knife at Zhao Yun to slash in the air. Zhao Yun dodged the blow sideways and stabbed out with a spear. only heard the sound of dang, and the steel knife in Yu Ban's hand fell in response. Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation to strike another blow, and a spear would pierce the forbidden piercing! All the generals were shocked, this kind of martial art was almost rare. After Yu Ban was stabbed to death, Xu Chu also rushed to the rescue. However, he couldn't defeat Zhao Yun after all, so he could only be defeated!
It can be seen from this that Zhao Yun's force is really outstanding. The contest between him and Xu Chu was thrilling and thrilling! In the end, it was Yun Chang's strength that prevailed. Although Xu Chu's martial arts are high, he is difficult to defeat Zhao Yun's courage after all!
Fourth, Cao Cao was frightened, what character alarmed him?
In the fourth year of Jian'an, Lü Bu led tens of thousands of horses and rebelled against Cao Cao in Xiapi. Cao Cao personally led a large army to capture Lu Busheng. The two armies faced each other under the city of Puyang. Cao Jun's tiger roared and the dragon roared, murderous. Xu Chu was also among them, and he saw Lu Bu standing at the head of the city with a lofty attitude. There is not the slightest fear. Xu Chu raised his sword and shouted: "Those who dare to come, Lu Bu will die!" As soon as the words fell, Lu Bu had already flown down and fell into the Cao army's formation. I saw him shoot his bow left and right, and the attack was fierce.
Seeing this, Xu Chu also met head-on, and the two started fighting. After more than 20 rounds, Xu Chu was already invincible and complained. At this time, Xiahoudun and Dian Wei also joined the battle group, and the six fierce generals joined forces to besiege it. Lu Bu is still brave and high-spirited.
Cao Cao was frightened when he saw this, and shouted "Lu Bu is very human"! had to order the whole army to retreat. It can be seen that Lu Bu stands out from the crowd in the martial arts, and even the tiger idiot Xu Chu has to avoid his edge.
Why is it that this time, even the tiger idiot Xu Chu is difficult to defeat Lu Bu's might? There are many reasons for this. According to records, Lu Bu was the son-in-law of Lu Zhi, a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. After Lu Zhi's death, Lü Bu attacked the elite troops under his command. This unit is all composed of the former Han Forbidden Army and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
So when Lu Bu led this force to occupy Xiapi, he actually controlled a rather terrifying force. Therefore, Cao Cao did not dare to take it lightly, and he successively sent Xiahoudun and Zhang Liao to attack the city, but they were unsuccessful. In the end, he had to personally lead the troops.
epilogue
To sum up, the five fierce generals who can compete with the tiger idiot Xu Chu and really meet the strong are Yan Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and Guan Yu. Each of them has something special about them. Yan Liang is skilled in martial arts, Zhang Fei is brave and unmatched, Zhao Yun is full of chivalrous and righteous style, Lu Bu is unparalleled in martial arts, and Guan Yu has both superb martial arts and wisdom and strategy. It can be said that they have both strengths and weaknesses of each other, and they are outstanding in their own right. Therefore, if you meet Xu Chu strongly, you will have a strong hand in the strong.
Xu Chu, a fierce general nicknamed "Tiger Idiot", is so strong that no one in the Three Kingdoms can match it. However, after all, he could hardly compete with the different forms of strength of these five fierce generals. These five people defeated or suppressed Cao Ying's tiger generals in the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Dangyang, the Battle of Changbanpo, the Battle of Puyang and the Xiliang Battlefield.
Therefore, it can be said that among the three kingdoms, the fierce generals who can really compete with Xu Chu and are on par with each other are none other than these five people. They respectively reflect the strong strength of different schools such as Hebei heroes, Shu Han fierce generals, and Dongwu heroes.
