If you only rank according to the force value in the romance, then Lu Bu is a well-deserved first fierce general. You can question Lu Bu's character, or you can dislike his IQ, but no one will look down on his martial arts. In the first battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Bu showed his invincible temperament: 5 rounds of second Fang Yue, 1 round to solve Mu Shun, 10 rounds to defeat Wu Anguo, several rounds of abuse of Gongsun Zhan, 50 rounds of fighting Zhang Fei alone, hard resistance to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for 30 rounds, facing Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and retreating. If you don't count the abuse, the hard resistance to Guan and Zhang is definitely an amazing performance. Because of this, Lu Bu can be called the strongest military general in the Three Kingdoms.
There is no controversy about Lu Bu's first place, but since the second place, there is no conclusive conclusion, and no matter which one is said, there seem to be people who put forward different opinions. Judging from the current actual situation, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Yan Liang are the most competitive, and they are all popular candidates for second place. Therefore, after Lu Bu's death, these 5 people all looked like they had reached the point of being the strongest.
Let's talk about Guan Yu first. When Lu Bu was alive, Guan Yu had always been very low-key and never looked down on others easily, but as soon as Lu Bu died, Guan Yu immediately looked at others like "local chickens and tile dogs". Later, Guan Yu became famous all over the world through the two battles of White Horse and Yanjin. Yuan Shao was originally the strongest, and at the same time, his ace Yan Liang beat Cao Ying's generals. Xu Huang could only play 20 rounds in front of Yan Liang, and the others were even more frightened and didn't dare to leave the camp. In this case, Guan Yu stepped forward, flew directly forward, and slashed the opponent under the horse with one sword. Later, he split Wen Chou again. Coupled with Zeng Wenjiu's previous killing of Hua Xiong, Guan Yu is proud enough to stand out from the crowd with these 3 victories.
Although Yan Liang died under Guan Yu's knife, there were also many people who complained about him, and even felt that Yan Liang was second only to Lu Bu. First of all, Yan Liang did not die in a head-to-head confrontation against Guan Yu. At that time, Guan Yu took the lead and went straight to Yuan Shaojun, and Yan Liang sat on the horse and didn't realize what anyone meant. Even when Guan Yu arrived in front of Yan Liang, Yan Liang was about to ask the other party "Who are you and what are you doing", but he was hacked before he could figure out what was going on. Yan Liang's death is just a matter of IQ, not martial arts. Yan Liang can defeat Xu Huang in 20 rounds, which may be something that Lu Bu can do, so Yan Liang looks like he has the confidence to rank second.
Zhao Yun was undefeated all his life, and he was a god in a battle at Changbanpo. Zhao Yun's career as a military general has a clear upward period. At the beginning, he couldn't even take the remnants of blood and ugliness, but when he arrived in Yushan, he could abuse Zhang He for 30 rounds, and broke through in the siege of Xu Chu, Yu Ban, and Li Dian. Until the Battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Yun easily killed 50 Cao generals, rescued Liu Chan, and took away the Qingyu Sword, and was not injured. In the battle of Hanshui, Zhao Yun knelt down with a few casual strokes. It is difficult for fierce people like Lu Bu and Guan Yu to break through from thousands of troops and horses on red rabbit horses, but Zhao Yun did it, which also reflects Zhao Yun's bravery.
Cao Cao once said that Ma Chao had "the courage of Lu Bu". Although Ma Chao does not have many scenes, his performance is also very good. Since Ma Teng was killed by Cao Cao, Ma Chao and Han Sui raised troops to attack Cao Cao. At that time, Ma Chao was assisted by Pang De and Ma Dai, and Han Sui was also willing to join forces, so their combat effectiveness was also very good. Ma Chao led the Xiliang soldiers to directly kill Cao Cao, cutting his beard and abandoning his robe. Later, Ma Chao abused Yu Ban in a few rounds, killed Li Tong, and defeated Zhang He in 20 rounds. Later, Ma Chao fought Xu Chu, and he could even force the other party to go into battle shirtless.
Zhang Fei directly fought with Lu Bu many times. In the first battle of Tiger Prison, Zhang Fei, who had just debuted, had already fought with Lu Bu for 50 rounds. Later, outside Xiaopei City, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu fought for 100 rounds of a draw. Even if Zhang Fei drank high, Lu Bu knew his courage and was unwilling to catch up. Guan Yu once praised Cao Cao for Zhang Fei "taking the head of the general, just like probing the bag to take things". Although the second master's words are a bit of a boast, this is also his affirmation of Zhang Fei's strength. At the head of the Changsaka Bridge, Zhang Fei retreated alone with a million Cao soldiers. Therefore, he also seems to be second only to Lu Bu.
If you look at it according to the battle example, I think Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao can tie for the strongest. Because all three of them have no defeat and have not been injured. Guan Yu was shot and wounded by Pang De and was hit by an arrow several times; Yan Liang was negligent in guarding and lacked defensive awareness; these two people fell off the list.
