The fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms period have become a topic of conversation among everyone. Everyone always likes to talk about the ranking of these generals in their spare time, and among them, the top three - Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei are even more eye-catching.
However, it is in this ranking that Zhao Yun's position has always caused the most controversy. Some people think that Zhao Yun has not killed first-class generals, and even rarely fights with top masters, so he is included in the top three of the list of fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms, which is somewhat unworthy of his name. So, does this claim hold up in the end?
In fact, questioning whether Zhao Yun has ever played against a first-class general is itself debatable. Zhao Yun was not uncommon to see masters on the battlefield, such as his confrontation with Xiahoudun at Bowangpo, his confrontation with Xu Zhu in the Battle of Runan, and his confrontation with Zhang He, Xu Huang and other fierce generals of the Cao army in the Battle of Chibi. It's just that on the battlefield, the opponent is either cautiously probed, or hastily leaves because of the change in the tide of battle.
As for the statement that Zhao Yun has never killed a first-class general, is Gao Lan, one of the four generals in Hejian, and Zhu Ran, the left great Sima of Eastern Wu, vulnerable to attack? The duel between Gao Ran and Xu Zhu was thrilling, and Zhu Ran once fought fiercely with Guan Yu and was named the Marquis of Dangyang. However, these two fierce generals were defeated by Zhao Yun's guns on the battlefield!
Looking back on Zhao Yun's life, we will find that since his youth, he has been famous. As soon as he appeared, he had a trick with the famous Hebei general Wen Chou, and it was difficult to distinguish between him and the inferior after dozens of rounds. And Wen Chou was a general who could defeat Xu Huang, and his combat power at that time had reached a super-first-class level. It can be seen that Zhao Yun's martial arts are really extraordinary.
Zhao Yun did become famous in the Battle of the Mountain. After getting rid of Xu Zhu, Li Dian, and Yu Ban, he met Gao Lan, a famous general in Hebei. At this time, Zhao Yun defeated Gao Ran with only one move and easily killed him.
Immediately afterward, he fought against Zhang He again, and it only took thirty rounds to defeat Zhang He! Zhang He's strength was comparable to that of Zhang Liao, a first-class general at that time, and Zhao Yun continued to fight against strong enemies on the battlefield, and achieved amazing results in a short period of time, which was enough to show his superb martial arts.
Later, in the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Hanshui, Zhao Yun fought Zhang He many times. However, due to the previous battle, Zhang He avoided the battle as soon as he saw Zhao Yun, which shows that Zhao Yun's peak state has made this top general of Wei State fearful. Zhao Yun's strength has long been worthy of the name!
Why is Zhao Yunneng considered the top three top generals, and not head-to-head with other top generals? There are several reasons for this:
First of all, Zhao Yun basically did not suffer any defeats. From the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao to Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Zhao Yun has not tasted defeat for more than 40 years, which is rare in any general.
It was a chaotic period when Shu Han gradually established power from nothing, and Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei, facing many difficulties and pursuits, but never experienced a single defeat. In such a turbulent situation, following Liu Bei, who was weak, he repeatedly defeated the strong with the weak, which fully demonstrated Zhao Yun's true level.
Zhao Yun's exploits and achievements are legendary, and his martial arts and tactical attainments should not be underestimated. In the long history, Zhao Yun has become one of the well-deserved top generals with his outstanding performance.
Zhao Yun's performance on the battlefield is truly amazing. No matter what danger he faced, he was able to survive it. Whether it is the Battle of the Mountains, the seven in and seven out of the Nagasaka Slope, or the battle to capture Xichuan and Hanshui, every battle is a matter of life and death, difficult and sinister.
Especially on the slope of Changsaka, Zhao Yun carried the young master on his back and fought bravely to kill the enemy alone, and he was like no one in the army. Although Cao Cao couldn't bear to kill him and wanted to capture him alive, Zhao Yun's courage was enough to make him stand out from the crowd
The generals of the Three Kingdoms are all heroic before the battle, but even if they have top-notch martial arts, they will inevitably be injured on the battlefield. Whether it is Lu Bu, Guan Yu, or Sun Ce, Sun Jian, they are all heroes for a while, but in the end they all died on the battlefield, heroes are ruthless, and only the bones leave their names.
On the cruel and ruthless battlefield, who dares to boast of immortality? However, Zhao Yun miraculously did not suffer a single injury in his more than 40 years of fighting career. This is enough to prove that he is extraordinary. Some people may say that the reason why Zhao Yun was not injured was because Cao Cao protected him and prevented his subordinates from injuring him with arrows. But can others break through in such a sinister situation?
Zhao Yun not only has never been defeated, but he has never been injured in his life, and no cold arrows released by others can hurt him, such a record is almost incomparable.
Therefore, although he did not have many duels with top generals, the vast majority of people believed that Zhao Yun's martial arts were second only to Lu Bu. It may not be inferior to Lu Bu. It may even be above Lu Bu.
