During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many heroes, among which three outstanding generals with the same surname, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao and Zhang He, were born. They fought for the Xiliang Army, Cao Wei and Yuan Shao respectively, and each of them displayed amazing martial arts on the battlefield. And among these three, who has the strongest force value? What did their master, Cao Cao, say about these three people? Let's take a look at Cao Gong's secret psychological activities.
Cao Cao's eccentric only daughter was placed under Zhang He
It was a sunny afternoon, Cao Cao was reading the military newspaper in the camp, and suddenly a guard hurriedly broke in and reported in a loud voice: "Lord, no, Miss was ambushed while patrolling the camp, and now she has been captured by the enemy!" ＂
Cao Cao's face suddenly turned blue when he heard the news, and he slammed the military newspaper in his hand to the ground. He never imagined that the princess, the only daughter he loved the most, would encounter such an accident.
Almost at the same time, several Imperial Forest officers also rushed in and gave Cao Cao a detailed account of what had happened. It turned out that the princess insisted on walking around the camp out of curiosity. Despite the guards' repeated persuasions, the princess still went her own way. Just when everyone's vigilance was relaxed, suddenly a group of blue-robed warriors came out and surrounded the princess. Although the guards resisted bravely, they were still defeated by the onslaught of the strong enemy and were forced to retreat. Eventually, the princess was taken captive alive and her whereabouts unknown.
Hearing this news, Cao Cao was immediately furious and slammed the inkstone in his hand to the ground. As a soldier of a generation, he knew that this kidnapping was probably deliberately carried out by the mastermind behind the scenes, with the intention of breaking the morale of the army and disturbing it. Sure enough, soon rumors spread in the camp that the princess had been murdered. For a while, the morale of the army fluctuated slightly.
In the face of this sudden change, Cao Cao almost immediately ordered the mobilization of a large army, and personally led tens of thousands of troops to rescue the princess. However, this time the enemy was not an idle person, but a change of generals on the spot, and the extremely powerful Zhang He commanded the land of Xuchang.
Zhang He is known as a "one-shot" majestic person, and he is a fierce general under Yuan Shao. Cao Cao saw that he was so brave, and he also tried to recruit him many times. It's just that Zhang He is proud and has always been reluctant to take refuge easily. didn't think about it, but now he is calculating.
In the face of the siege of Cao's army, Zhang He did not panic, but sneered: "Whatever you say, you must return my prisoners first!" After that, he ordered the princess to be escorted to the city, tied her to the cross, and looked at Cao Cao in the Cao array from afar.
Zhang Fei was furious and denounced Cao Cao's cronies
This happened when Cao's army attacked Xinye. At that time, Zhang Fei was ordered to go with the army, and was blocked by a ranger army on the way. The leader of this army turned out to be Cao Cao's confidant Xu Chu.
Xu Chu commanded hundreds of elite foot soldiers and set up a tight ambush circle on the way. Zhang Fei was furious when he saw this, and scolded angrily: "You don't know how to learn, why do you block the road like this? Could it be that he wants to rebel and fail! ＂
Xu Chu laughed when he heard this, and sneered at each other: "What do you know about this hillbilly?" The lord transferred you away from Xiliang, don't you still understand the intention? It seems that you really don't know anything about this iron rod! ＂
Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this, and immediately rode his horse and rushed up, personally wielding his sword to meet the battle. The two sides fought dozens of battles in the rolling dust, but neither of them could decide the winner.
At this moment, a cavalry of the Cao army suddenly came out and persuaded both sides to separate. The leader was Guan Yu's disciple Xun Yu. Xun Yu said respectfully to Zhang Fei: "My lord, the lord has an order, I hope you will stand still for the time being, and wait for the dispatch." ＂
As soon as Xun Yu's words came out, Zhang Fei's color changed and he shouted angrily: "You traitorous villains, you dare to show off your power in front of Lao Tzu!" I think you're trying to rebel! ＂
Xun Yu saw that Zhang Fei was furious, so he wanted to step forward to explain, but was knocked to the ground by Zhang Fei's heavy slap. Zhang Fei scolded: "You are all spies who follow the example of the East, I think you want to blackmail the lord and threaten me!" ＂
Xun Yu wanted to reply several times, but he didn't have the courage to deal with Zhang Fei's wild anger after all. I saw Zhang Fei kicking and hitting Xun Yu violently, and scolded again: "You are all traitors who are villains, and you deliberately want to frame me, can't you?!" ＂
The scene was at a stalemate, the soldiers on both sides looked at me, I looked at you, and no one dared to act rashly. At this juncture, a middle-aged warrior in a white robe came slowly and stopped Zhang Fei with his mouth.
It turned out that this person was Cao Cao's confidant military advisor Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu persuaded in a deep voice: "Adults are angry, this is just a small misunderstanding. Xu Chu and Xun Yu were both ordered by the lord to stop here, and there were no other attempts. ＂
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fei fiercely waved his sword at Cheng Yu, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he roared: "You ungrateful traitor, you are here to argue for Cao Cao!" It seems that you have already discussed it, and you want to wipe out my dissidents! I swear not to share heaven with you! ＂
Zhang Liaobu made a strange plan to defeat the enemy who was holding back Cao's army
That year, Cao's army attacked the Central Plains and was frantically besieged by the army of Wu. At that time, Cao Cao was leading the main army to fight deep into the hinterland, while Zhang Liao led more than 7,000 men to defend the important town of Hefei to prevent attacks from Eastern Wu.
The lineup was at a stalemate, with the two sides facing off for months in the plains near Hefei. Zhang Liao was facing a severe test at this time, seeing that there were many enemy soldiers and horses, and his small army was difficult to resist.
At this critical juncture, Zhang Liao remained in danger and dealt with it calmly. He secretly sent a small work to spy on the enemy, and finally found a golden opportunity.
It turned out that the commander of the Wu army secretly had a fatal flaw, that is, he was extremely afraid of snakes. Whether it's a venomous snake or a non-venomous snake, the sight of them will be terrified.
When Zhang Liao learned of this, he immediately returned to the barracks, gathered all the soldiers together, and announced in public: "Brothers, I have thought of a way to subdue the enemy, as long as you do your best to implement it, you will be able to defeat the enemy!" ＂
After that, Zhang Liao gave an order and ordered the sergeants to collect all kinds of snakes, large and small, and collect them all. In less than a month, tens of thousands of snakes were hoarded in Cao's camp.
Zhang Liao then ordered the sergeants to put all the snakes into hollow plantain bamboos, and quietly arranged them in the open area around the Wu army garrison at night.
After everything was ready, Zhang Liao finally led the guards to suddenly open the banana bamboo festival at midnight in a dark and bleak night. In an instant, tens of thousands of poisonous snakes of all kinds splashed on the ground, crawling frantically and hissing straight into the camp of the Wu army.
It was winter, and the wind was bitterly cold. The commanders of the Wu army were already asleep, and they were suddenly attacked by snakes into the camp, and they immediately panicked. I saw that the coach was even more distraught, and he ran away with a roll, and the scene was extremely funny.
In the end, chaos ensued, the vitality of the Wu army was greatly damaged, and the battle was defeated by the Cao army. When the morning dawned, Zhang Liao personally led the army to kill and annihilated the remnants of the frightened Wu army in one fell swoop. This is the famous "night snake cloth" trick in later generations.
Cao Cao's incisive commentary on the characteristics of the trio
After quelling Zhang He's rebellion, Cao Cao specially convened hundreds of civil and military officials and held a grand celebration banquet. During the banquet, Cao Cao picked up the wine cup and generously said to everyone present: "Today, we can sweep away Zhang He's rebellion, it is really a life of nine deaths." If it weren't for Zhang Liao's unexpected strategy, our army would have been confused by that master. ＂
Cao Cao changed his words, and then praised Zhang Liao's bravery: "Although Zhang Liao is brave and good at fighting, his greatest strength lies in his luck and wisdom. In the battle of Hefei that year, he skillfully used the trick of 'Night Snake Cloth', which was almost unexpected, and instantly defeated Sun Quan's army. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that one person has such a clever calculation. ＂
Speaking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and shouted to the guards: "A few of you, you have to personally protect Zhang Liao in the future, remember not to make any mistakes, otherwise if something happens to him one day, my country will be unsafe!" ＂
Then Cao Cao's gaze turned to Zhang Fei, who was drinking on the side, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he slowly spoke: "Look at Zhang Yide, this person is extremely brave, if I Cao has a million male divisions on his side, he can take the general's head among them alone, just like picking up things." ＂
"When this man fights, he is like a fierce tiger, no matter what kind of strong enemy he encounters, he will never retreat half a step. Such bravery is rare. Cao Cao shook his head, with a hint of solemnity in his expression, and continued: "It's just that this person's temperament is too strong, and I really can't hold him back." However, you also have to guard against him, lest any trouble arise from the extraneous situation. ＂
At this time, a military general hurriedly spoke: "The lord is angry, Zhang Fei is a little wild, but he is also our most effective general after all." ＂
Cao Cao waved his hand, pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Since this is the case, then I will introduce you to this Zhang He today." As you all know, this person was originally a general under Yuan Shao, but unfortunately he was too cunning and treacherous, and finally discredited himself. But as far as Wu Yong is concerned, he is indeed a first-class character... ＂
Final Verdict: Who is the Real Strongest in Force?
Speaking of this, Cao Cao got up and walked to the center of the main hall, and slowly spoke: "All of you here today are all carefully selected fierce generals under my command. You are all heroic, which makes me Cao Wei proud. But then again, if you want to talk about the most powerful force, there are three soldiers surnamed Zhang. ＂
"First of all, Zhang Fei, this person is extremely brave, he is simply a walking slaughtering machine. Whenever he waved the claw hook and big knife in his hand and rushed towards the enemy formation, he was invincible and decisive in killing. The only regret may be that he is too impulsive and tends to make some reckless decisions. ＂
However, compared to Zhang Feilai, Zhang He is much more cautious. This man, with his superior strategy and command skills, has been able to gain the upper hand in almost every battle. It's a pity that in the end, I underestimated my Cao Cao's heroic heart, which will lead to the end of the defeated army being trapped and being captured. ＂
Cao Cao paused and continued: "As for Zhang Liao, this person is indeed the most outstanding strategist under my command. He is not only brave and good at fighting, but also alert and resourceful, cautious and steady everywhere. It is with him, the wise and courageous mastermind, that we can have the upper hand in every battle. ＂
"But having said that, I think Zhang Liao is still slightly lacking. After all, he is better at formulating long-term strategies, and he is still slightly inferior in battle command. As far as the 'Night Snake Cloth' is concerned, if you don't personally supervise the battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to exert its maximum power. ＂
"So in the final analysis, if you want to say which one is the real strongest force, I personally think that Zhang Fei is more outstanding. Although this man has a violent personality, he is unmatched in his bravery. ＂
end
Cao Cao's voice gradually lowered, and the generals present were all in awe, as if they could feel the wisdom and bravery of this generation of famous generals. At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly shouted: "It's a pity that such an invincible warrior died of excessive alcoholism in the end, which is really regrettable!" ＂
