Preface
The 100-round battle between Zhang Fei and Lu Bu can be called a legend in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and their bravery and combat effectiveness have been widely praised in ancient and modern China and abroad.
However, Guan Yu, as a famous military general during the Three Kingdoms period, is even more famous all over the world, and his bravery and extraordinary martial arts on the battlefield are worthy of a generation of famous generals.
So, if we change the role of this 100-round battle to Guan Yu, what kind of battle will it have? Today, let's walk into that era of flames to explore the answers to these questions.
How high is a person's force?
During the Three Kingdoms period, heroes were born, and the names of countless fierce generals were engraved in the long river of history. Among them, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Lu Bu were undoubtedly the most outstanding three fierce generals at that time. They are all strong in martial arts, with peerless martial arts, invincible on the battlefield, and indomitable.
However, even these three top generals are difficult to distinguish in a short period of time. This can be seen from a confrontation between Zhang Fei and Lu Bu outside the Tiger Prison Pass.
That year, Zhang Fei was 25 years old and was still a young general, while Lu Bu was already a famous god of war, holding Fang Tian's halberd and riding a red rabbit BMW, no one was his opponent. However, under such circumstances, Zhang Fei actually fought with Lu Bu for 50 rounds, and neither of the two could be separated!
The scene at that time was like this: Lu Bu led a large army to attack the princes of the 18th Road, he killed Fang Yue and Mu Shun, defeated Wu Anguo, and was about to kill Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Fei suddenly raised his spear and angrily denounced Lu Bu as a "slave with three surnames".
Lu Bu was furious and rode on the red rabbit horse, Zhang Fei also rode on the yellow horse, and the two fought in front of the battle. The young and vigorous Zhang Fei was full of spirit, and fought hard with Lu Bu at his peak, and he fought more than 50 battles, and finally won or lost!
This battle can be described as earth-shattering and crying ghosts. It is really astonishing that a nobody can encounter such a tragic duel with Lu Bu, who is known as the "invincible opponent in the world". If you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid it's hard for anyone to believe it.
Although the two were inseparable in the end, Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear was beaten away by Lu Bu in this battle, and Guan Yu hurriedly slapped his horse and danced his knife when he saw this, and fought against Lu Bu at the same time. The three horses were side by side, and the three fierce generals fought for 30 rounds in front of the battle, but they still couldn't defeat Lu Bu.
This scene is enough to see the strength of Lu Bu's force at that time. Although he faced the joint attack of two top generals, he was not afraid at all, and he was indomitable, relying on his extraordinary martial arts and tenacious perseverance, he stubbornly blocked the attack of the two.
Lu Bu has had unique skills since he was a child, coupled with his courage and good fighting, he has never been afraid of any opponent. He has incomparable confidence in his own martial arts, and every time he comes to battle, he can exert extraordinary combat power. Although Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were also strong in martial arts, they were also difficult to beat Lu Bu's peak state at that time.
This battle not only demonstrated Lu Bu's strong strength, but also made Zhang Fei and Guan Yu respect him. From then on, the arrogant Guan Yu had no choice but to respectfully call Lu Bu "General Lu". How high is a person's force? This battle shows that. Lu Bu is indeed a well-deserved No. 1 general of the Three Kingdoms, although Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are equally good, it is difficult to completely suppress his force.
Two years later, Zhang Fei's martial arts reached a higher level
Time flies, and two years later, Zhang Fei's martial arts have taken a big step forward. This time, he was alone, and he was able to fight Lu Bu for more than 100 rounds, and he still didn't know whether he won or lost!
The scene at that time was like this: after Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, Cao Cao designed Liu Bei to send troops to attack Yuan Shu, intending to divide Lü Bu and Liu Bei. Liu Bei saw through Cao Cao's trick and only took Guan Yu to deal with Yuan Shu, leaving Zhang Fei to guard Xuzhou.
Who knew that Zhang Fei was drunk and drunk, and was taken advantage of by Lu Bu to capture Xuzhou. The drunken Zhang Fei was naturally powerless to resist, and Lu Bu didn't want to force him too much, after all, he already knew Zhang Fei's bravery.
However, after losing Xuzhou, Zhang Fei stole 150 war horses purchased by Lu Bu in order to take revenge. Lu Bu was furious and personally led the army to crusade against Liu Bei, wanting to ask Zhang Fei for the matter of the war horse.
In the face of the aggressive Lu Bu, Zhang Fei was not afraid, raised his gun, and said confidently: "I took your good horse, how do you feel today?" Lu Bu was annoyed by Zhang Fei's arrogance, and scolded: "You ring-eyed thief, you have repeatedly despised me, and you will definitely see a high and low today!"
The two fought in front of the battle outside Xiaopei City. This time, Zhang Fei is no longer as vigorous as two years ago, he is calm and calm, using his newly studied martial arts, and Lu Bu has fought hard again and again, and even fought more than 100 times, and in the end there is still no winner or loser!
This battle is really staggering. In just two years, Zhang Fei's martial arts have made such great progress that it is enough to compete with top generals like Lu Bu, and there is no big defeat.
It can be seen from here that Zhang Fei has been a wizard with outstanding martial arts since he was a child. It's just that he is young and vigorous, and he is inevitably arrogant. But after two years of tempering, his martial arts have been perfected, and he is calm and calm, and he can use it freely, so that he can compete with strong enemies like Lu Bu.
Lu Bu saw that Zhang Fei had made such great progress, so he couldn't be underestimated. So in this battle, he also went all out and never had any reservations. But even so, he still couldn't win, and he had to secretly admire Zhang Fei's extraordinary martial arts.
This battle not only once again confirmed the strength of Lu Bu's force, but also greatly improved Zhang Fei's status in the martial arts. Since then, his reputation has been like thunder, and no one dares to underestimate this young fierce general.
If it is replaced by Guan Yu, can Lu Bu be suppressed?
Seeing this, are you also thinking: If it was not Zhang Fei who fought at that time, but Guan Yu, would the result be different? After all, Guan Yu was also one of the best generals at that time, could he suppress Lu Bu and avenge the revenge of his eldest brother Liu Bei in Xuzhou?
In fact, on this issue, there was a well-informed general Xu Chu at that time. As a person who has witnessed Guan Yu and Lu Bu's martial arts, his opinion has the most right to speak.
Xu Chunai is a humble and moderate person, and he is in awe of the characters with strong martial arts. In the Battle of Tushan, he personally experienced Guan Yu's extraordinary martial arts, and was embarrassed by his death.
At the time of the Battle of Puyang, Xu Chu was the first general of Cao Wei to fight against Lu Bu. At that time, he fought with Lu Bu for 20 rounds, but he couldn't even win. In the end, Cao Cao had to dispatch 5 fierce generals, including Dian Wei and Xiahou Yuan, to defeat Lu Bu.
From these two incidents, it can be seen that Guan Yu and Lu Bu were both top masters in the martial arts at that time, and Xu Chu knew that it was difficult to defeat with the strength of one person. Therefore, he was in awe of both of them.
If Xu Chu were to judge who had the higher martial arts of Guan Yu or Lu Bu, what would he think? Let's imagine this: If Guan Yu had fought against Lu Bu outside Xiaopei City at that time, what would the battle situation between the two sides be like?
First of all, let's take a look at the specific situation of Guan Yu and Lu Bu at that time. Guan Yu was born in 160 A.D., and by that time he was already 35 years old, at the peak of his military power, while Lü Bu was 5 years older than Guan Yu and had already passed 40, but his force was also invincible.
Look at the weapons used by the two. Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife weighing 82 catties, about 3 meters long, and had extremely strong slashing power, while Lu Bu made Fang Tian draw a halberd, although it weighed only about 60 catties, but it was 3 meters long6, stabbing, piercing, picking, and hooking were omnipotent, and it was also extremely powerful.
It can be seen that although Guan Yu's weapons have the advantage in weight, they are inferior to Lu Bu in terms of mobility. If the two fight for a long time, Guan Yu will gradually fall behind.
It is conceivable that if Guan Yu and Lu Bu face off in front of the battle, the two sides will be inseparable from each other at the beginning. With his physical strength and the power of the Qinglong Sword, Guan Yu could gain a certain advantage. But as time passed, he would gradually feel the weight of the heavy knife in his hand.
When he got to the back, Guan Yu's physical strength began to run out, and the weight of his weapons began to drag down his offensive. And Lu Bu relied on his superior martial arts and light Fang Tian Halberd to gain the upper hand and force Guan Yu into a desperate situation.
In the end, I estimate that Guan Yu can fight Lu Bu for about 110 rounds. In the first 50 rounds, he had the upper hand, but after that, he would gradually lose the upper hand until he was completely overpowered by Lu Bu.
Such a result was actually the consensus of the people in the martial arts at that time. Lu Bu's martial arts are at the peak, and even a top warrior like Guan Yu is difficult to win in a long fight. Therefore, Guan Yu, who was arrogant back then, had to give Lu Bu the honorific title of "General Lu" to show his awe of his martial arts. This was the status quo of martial arts at that time.
epilogue
Through the above analysis, we can see that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Lu Bu were undoubtedly the top three fierce generals. They are all strong in martial arts, and they are invincible on the battlefield.
However, even these three legends are difficult to distinguish in a short period of time. Although Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were both fierce generals, it was difficult for them to completely suppress Lu Bu's force.
Therefore, even in the martial arts at that time, it was difficult for them to completely suppress Lu Bu, an incomparable powerhouse. This point, even a general like Xu Chu back then, is also deeply understood.
However, it is precisely because of the existence of these three top generals that the battlefield during the Three Kingdoms period has become so fierce and fascinating. With their unparalleled martial arts, they have written a legendary history that will be remembered by future generations.
Let us humbly learn from their heroic and fearless and never-say-die spirit, to pursue higher and farther ideals, to create a more brilliant chapter of life!
