Although overestimation is not a compliment, it does not mean a negative, but it is only a relative evaluation.
10: Gao Shun
The trapping camp led by Gao Shun can almost be regarded as the most effective special forces in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the famous tiger and leopard cavalry, white für soldiers, Xiandeng battalion, halberd warriors, and white horse Yicong are probably inferior to the trapping camp in terms of popularity and prestige. Therefore, as the commander of this army, Gao Shun is often regarded as a first-class general.
However, what does history have to do with the Romance? Gao Shun in the Romance is an important general who is silent and silent under Lu Bu, and the only thing that can be praised is probably his integrity, and the only fighting general who can get his hands on it is still defeated by Xiahoudun in forty or fifty times. According to Xiahoudun as a standard first-class general, Gao Shun's strength is roughly in the middle and upper second-rate, at most it is not more than the quasi-one, although it is not bad, but it is by no means as strong as many people think.
It should be noted here that although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was created in the background of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, there is also a folk saying that "seven points are true, three points are false". But fiction is fiction, and history are two different things, and it is not advisable to mix them up with mediocrity and mislead people's children.
9: Dian Wei
Dian Wei's appearance on this list will definitely surprise many people, after all, his strength is obvious to all, and this is also recognized by contemptible people. However, the popular "One Lu, Two Zhao Sandianwei" limerick poem was taken by many people to talk about things, which raised Dian Wei too high.
The best proof of Dian Wei's martial arts level is that he fought with Xu Chu, and after a day of fighting, he won or lost, which can be regarded as the two are infinitely close. And Xu Chu 20 Heping Lu Bu, 30 Heping Zhao Yun, and 230 Ping Ma Chao are standard super generals, so Dian Wei between him and his peers is naturally also a member of the "Super One Club", there is no doubt about this.
But if you want to sort the super generals, Dian Wei can't get into the top three anyway, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Yan Liang all have stronger records than them, so Dian Wei is at most in the middle of the super one, and even in the lower position.
In fact, the so-called limerick poem of the twenty-four generals is not the setting in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at all, there is a sentence "Divine Spear Zhang Xiu and Wenyan", Zhang Xiu has no special performance in the Romance, and he can't stop this kind of evaluation at all, and he is not qualified to be compared with these people in martial arts. Therefore, Dian Wei's ranking third in the world is not from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it's just that some people who don't learn and don't know how to pretend to be knowledgeable, so they sensationalize, and then a group of Wolong and Phoenix chicks blindly follow the trend, which makes Dian Wei overestimated in the end.
8: Sun Jian
Known as the "Tiger of Jiangdong", it is famous for its courage and good fighting, and the eldest son Sun Ce is brave and brave in Jiangdong, so it is regarded as a first-class general by many people.
In fact, Sun Jian can fight without faking, but he is not completely a personal bravery, and his personal martial arts are only stronger than those of the other seventeen princes, and he may not be able to match those generals. Because Sun Jian lacks a personal fighting record, the most effective thing is only to fight with Huaxiong for more than ten years. And it is also a ridiculous theory that the son is strong means that the father is strong, in addition to the eldest son Xiaobawang, he also has a second son and grandson of 100,000, how to say this?
Therefore, Sun Jian's so-called concept of good warfare is relatively close to Gao Shun, and the deity dares to fight, so he has won the reputation of "the tiger of Jiangdong". As for martial arts, Romance does not have too many eye-catching performances, and it cannot be positioned as a first-class general.
7: Jiang Wei
Jiang Wei was really eye-catching when he first appeared, not only saw through Zhuge Liang's plan, but also made Zhao Yun retreat. In addition, he and Deng Ai carried the wonderful duel of the latter three kingdoms, so many people naturally positioned him as a first-class general.
In fact, the battle between Jiang Wei and Zhao Yun was not as convincing as imagined. First of all, Zhao Yun was over seventy years old at that time, and no matter how well he maintained it, it was impossible to compare with his peak. And when the two didn't fight much, Zhao Yun broke through because of the unfavorable strength, and the reason why he was shocked was that he didn't expect that there would be a figure like Jiang Wei in Tianshui, after all, there were not many Wei generals who could not be killed by Zhao Yun in this period. After the war, Zhao Yun praised Jiang Wei's marksmanship to Zhuge Liang for being different, which was obviously an elder's appreciation for his juniors, not that Jiang Wei had the strength of Zhao Yun's level.
The best reflection of Jiang Wei's true strength is the record of quick defeat in the face of Wang Ping and Zhang Yi. Wang Ping can block Zhang He's dozens of combinations, which is a quasi-first-class level, while Zhang Yi's martial arts are low, and his strength is limited compared to the ordinary five scumbags. Jiang Wei couldn't stop it in the face of a quasi-first-class and a third-rate for a while, which shows that his strength is generally not at the level of a first-class general.
6: Zhang Ren
Zhang Ren is an all-round overrated figure, and many people talk about his identity as the governor of Xichuan and the ancestor of the gun in Suzhou Commentary on the Three Kingdoms, saying that there is nothing in heaven and on earth. In fact, when he appeared, he could see that his status among the four generals in his peers was not as good as Liu Bi and Ling Bao, but because he shot Pang Tong dead in Luofengpo, it was more eye-catching. In fact, this battle is obviously why the "plot killing" set up in conjunction with Pang Tong's historical ending is really not a magic calculation.
In addition, there is not much in the martial arts book about Zhang Ren, except for fighting with Zhang Fei for more than ten years and being undefeated. And just more than ten times is not very convincing, after all, even Ma Dai can do it, so in combination with the fighting general's record, Zhang Ren is at most quasi-first-class, and he may not be as strong as Jiang Wei and Wang Ping we mentioned just now.
5: Bun鸯
Wen Yang can be regarded as the first general of the Later Three Kingdoms, but his most brilliant place is the breakthrough of the formation, and the killing of Lejiacheng is the only battle record in the book that can be compared with Zhao Yun's battle against Changbanpo.
However, in order to accurately locate the rank of a general, it is necessary to rely on the record of a fair general, and rushing into battle and breaking through can only be counted as auxiliary achievements, and Wen Yang is not outstanding in this regard, except for the fifty draw against Deng Ai after the physical strength is damaged. Deng Ai's strength and Jiang Wei seem to be quasi-first-class, so even if Wen Yang is stronger than him, he is first-class at most, far from reaching the height of super one.
4: Zhou Tai
Zhou Tai was usually regarded as a first-class military general, second only to Sun Ce, Tai Shici, and Gan Ning in Jiangdong. In fact, Zhou Tai is just brave in battle, not afraid of death, there is a significant gap in hard power compared to those three, and the two rescues Sun Quan broke through and looked amazing, in fact, it is not a small number of people in the book who can do this level, and Zhou Tai is still the only one who was seriously injured and dying after successfully rushing into battle, so his spirit and courage are commendable, but his martial arts are not necessarily very smart.
When Wei and Wu were fighting, Zhou Tai and Han Dang fought against Xu Chu and did not take advantage of half of it, but Xu Chu looked extremely calm; So I think in terms of hard power, Zhou Taishang is not as good as Ling Tong, at most he is at the quasi-first-class level, and even classified as a strong second-rate.
3: Somo
Zu Mao is overrated, and he is completely a group of people who have nothing to do and take it for granted. In their eyes, Zu Mao is at least a second-rate midstream, and even reaches the quasi-first, because he is as famous as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang.
First of all, the same name is quite martial arts, which is a false proposition. The eight strong generals under Lu Bu's command are equally famous, and Zhang Liao is much stronger than Wei Xu, Hou Chengzhi and the like? Second, is Zu Mao really as famous as the three generals? The reason for this statement is that when the book mentions the four generals under Sun Jian, these four are introduced one by one. This is due to the crusade against Dong Zhuo at that time, and there were only these four generals around Sun Jian, so it didn't explain anything at all.
Just imagine, if a person who tried to sneak attack but was killed can be regarded as accurate, where does this put Jiang Wei and Deng Ai?
2: Yan Yan
Yan Yan is a well-known veteran in the book, and has a high status in Bashu, it is precisely because of his submission that Zhang Fei's march was smooth, and the Yizhou soldiers surrendered to the wind, so the third master was able to join Liu Bei before Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun.
Because of Yan Yan's important role and prestige, many people regard him as a first-class general, but in fact, judging from Yan Yan's record, he may not even be able to reach the quasi-first-class. In the battle with Zhang Fei, Yan Yan was captured alive, you must know that the difficulty of capturing alive is much greater than killing and defeating, so Yan Yan's martial arts seem to be inferior to Ji Ling, who has always been ridiculed by book friends, after all, he was only killed by more than ten times and was not captured.
Some people strongly argued that Yan Yan was caught off guard. Hehe, I was caught off guard after more than ten times, not so nonsense.
1: Hua Xiong
Huaxiong is used by Luo Guanzhong to set off Guan Yu, that is, the "cloud" in the moon of baking clouds. It's strange why most people regard Hua Xiong as a first-class general, and I really don't think he's that strong based on his track record.
In order to stand up to Hua Xiong and highlight Guan Yu, Luo Guanzhong let Pan Feng, Yu She, Bao Zhong, and Zu Mao all die at his hands, and there is also a plot where Sun Jian fought with him for more than ten times without winning or losing. But can any of these opponents be able to fight? Pan Feng, Yu She, and Bao Zhong died on the outlet, and their strength is unknown, and they belong to a typical dragon set; Zu Mao and Sun Jian, as we have just said, do not have the support of the fighting general's combat record, so they are not considered masters. Hua Xiong has killed a lot of people, but what can it say? Is it also worth showing off that Zhan Wu scum killed Zhan Yi scum?
At the same time, we know Guan Yu's strength, the standard super one, and the second strong contender in the world, it can be seen from his positive push that Huaxiong's strength is mediocre. According to the climate at that time, the wine from hot to warm should not exceed twenty minutes at most, except for the time that was delayed on the road back and forth, Guan Yu and Huaxiong couldn't even fight for ten minutes, and ten minutes was enough to play five or six together. In other words, Hua Xiong is just a person who was killed within a few combinations in front of Guan Yu, and there is no sneak attack, assault, and red rabbit horse bonus.
Some say he may have underestimated the enemy. If you don't say this kind of groundless words, you must say that it is better to say it bigger, and directly say how good it is that he committed suicide when he saw Guan Yu, so that Hua Xiong will be undefeated in his life.
