In fact, in the entire Three Kingdoms, there are only two super-first-class generals, and the others are relatively ordinary and not in the stream!
In the era of heroes of the Three Kingdoms, the generals are like bright stars, each shining in the sky of history. However, if you want to pick two super-first-class generals among these generals, I am afraid that only Zhang Fei and Guan Yu can deserve them. They were not only strong in martial arts, but also performed many miraculous feats on the battlefield and became legends of that era.
1. Zhang Fei: One husband should be closed, and ten thousand people should not be opened
Zhang Fei, whose name is Yide, is a native of Zhuo County (now Zhuozhou City, Baoding, Hebei). He has a brave personality, his voice is like a huge thunder, his momentum is like a galloping horse, and he often uses one as ten on the battlefield, intimidating the enemy. Zhang Fei is not only infinitely powerful, but also strong in martial arts, proficient in various weapons, especially the Zhangba snake spear. His martial arts are unique among the generals of the Three Kingdoms and are unmatched.
At the beginning of Liu Bei's army, Zhang Fei followed him to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements. He once shouted loudly in front of Changban Slope, which frightened Xiahou Jie, the general of the Cao army, and fell from his horse and died. When Cao Jun saw this scene, they were all frightened and retreated. Zhang Fei was a husband and wife, and it became a good story in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
In the battle of Hanzhong, Zhang Fei showed extraordinary martial arts. He led elite soldiers and strong generals, broke the army of Zhang He, the famous general of Cao's army, and made great contributions to Liu Bei's capture of Hanzhong. After this battle, Zhang Feiwei became famous and became one of the most prestigious generals during the Three Kingdoms period.
Second, Guan Yu: The posture of the martial saint, the righteousness is thin and cloudy
Guan Yu, the word cloud is long, the word is Changsheng, a native of Xie County, Hedong County (now a native of Xie Zhou Town, Yanhu District, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province). He is nine feet tall, his beard is two feet long, his face is like a heavy jujube, his lips are greased, his phoenix eyes are red, his silkworm eyebrows are lying on the silkworm, his appearance is dignified and majestic. Guan Yu is known for his loyalty and righteousness, and is known as the "martial saint".
In terms of martial arts, Guan Yu is also outstanding. He is good at using the Qinglong Glaive Knife, and his sword skills are superb and powerful. On the battlefield, Guan Yu often takes the lead, charging into battle, and is invincible. His martial arts were so strong that the enemy was terrified and fled.
In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu's achievements are innumerable. He once beheaded Huaxiong with warm wine, beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and relieved Liu Bei of Yuan Shao's threat. In the Battle of Chibi, Guan Yu led the naval army to defeat the Cao army's naval division, and made great achievements for the victory of the Sun-Liu coalition army. In addition, in the battle of Jingzhou, Guan Yu showed extraordinary martial arts and strategic vision, he flooded the Seventh Army, captured Cao Jun generals Yu Ban, Pang De and others, and shocked China.
However, Guan Yu is most praised for his loyalty. He followed Liu Bei all his life and never gave up, even under the temptation of Cao Cao's high-ranking officials, he was still unmoved. When he lived temporarily in Cao Cao's place, he learned of Liu Bei's whereabouts, so he hung up the seal and sealed the gold, rode alone for thousands of miles, passed five passes and killed six generals, and finally reunited with Liu Bei. This loyalty has made Guan Yu one of the most admired generals in history.
3. Other generals: each has its own merits, and it is difficult to compare with the two heroes
During the Three Kingdoms period, in addition to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, there were many outstanding generals. They have their own merits and characteristics, and they have also performed miraculous feats on the battlefield. However, if you want to compare with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, I am afraid it is still difficult to achieve.
For example, Zhao Yun, who is brave and good at fighting, has made many military exploits. However, in terms of martial arts, although he is strong, he is still slightly inferior to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. Another example is Ma Chao, who is powerful in the West Liang Iron Cavalry, but in the duel with Zhang Fei, he also failed to win. In addition, there are military generals such as Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, who have outstanding performances in their respective fields, but in terms of overall strength, it is still difficult to compare with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
To sum up, although there are many talented generals in the Three Kingdoms, only Zhang Fei and Guan Yu can really be called super-first-class generals. They were not only strong in martial arts, but also performed many miraculous feats on the battlefield and became legends of that era. Although the other generals have their own merits, it is still difficult to compare with them in terms of overall strength.
