In the Three Kingdoms era, there were many remarkable heroes, but there was only one brave man who dared to laugh at Zhao Yun, and he was Cheng Wu. Cheng Wu, the son of Cheng Yu, who joined the army, left a mark on that war-torn era with his unique strategy and courage. However, this mysterious military genius disappeared mysteriously in the long scroll of history, leaving behind a mysterious trajectory.
Cheng Wu, although his name is not loud, he bears the inheritance of Cheng Yu's wisdom. He was unique and different from the rest of the Three Kingdoms era. Cheng Wu did not regard Zhao Yun as an invincible hero like the others, but boldly proposed a dangerous plan to try to trap Zhao Yun in Fengming Mountain. This strategy is not only bold and reckless, but also demonstrates Cheng Wu's superb resourcefulness. He questioned Zhao Yun without hesitation and challenged the legend of that hero.
However, what is mysterious is that although Cheng Wu's strategy is terrifying, his existence disappeared in an instant like a gust of wind, and he never appeared on the stage of history again.
01 years of glory: the courage and wisdom of the veteran Zhao Yun
The storm suddenly changed, and the battlefield of the Northern Expedition was covered with clouds and mist, which seemed to tell an epic story. Zhao Yun, the legendary general dressed in the red dragon robe, walked to the front line step by step, the sound of his mount's hooves echoing across the battlefield, like an immortal god descending on the mortal world. He was seventy years old, but he was still full of pride and insisted on becoming the vanguard of the Northern Expedition.
Zhuge Liang, a wise and brave strategist, sighed helplessly in the face of the persistence of the veteran Zhao Yun. He knew that Zhao Yun's reputation for undue courage was not fiction, and the veteran still had incomparable strength. So, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to agree to Zhao Yun's wish.
Zhao Yun rode on a horse, his face was radiant, and his every move seemed to swear to heaven and earth that he was still the overlord on the battlefield. Compared with him, the old friend Guan Yu is no longer majestic, and his form is becoming more and more decadent.
The battle began, and the five tiger generals of the Han family, experienced fighters, were supposed to be the pillars of this battle. However, when they stepped into the battlefield, the army led by Zhao Yun showed incredible strength. The five tigers of the Han family will do their best, but they are like burning candles, instantly extinguished in front of Zhao Yun's army.
This scene shocked the commander of the Wei army, Xiahou Nan, whose army was chased by Zhao Yun and crushed, and the battle situation was out of control like a broken mirror. Xiahou Nan looked around anxiously, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.
At this critical moment, suddenly, Xiahou Nan's subordinates joined the army Cheng Wu walked out. He was dressed in armor, handsome, and his eyes gleamed with a cunning light. Cheng Wu was the son of Cheng Yu, an important advisor under Cao Cao, and possessed outstanding wisdom and cunning.
Cheng Wu's eyes scanned the battlefield coldly, and then looked at Zhao Yun, the corners of his mouth raised slightly. He smiled contemptuously: "Zhao Yun, although you are brave and unscrupulous, I am not afraid of you. ”
Zhao Yun frowned slightly, but he didn't speak, because he knew that words were not as good as actions.
Cheng Wu turned around and proposed to Xiahou Nan: "On Fengming Mountain, we can pretend to be defeated and retreat, and then ambush 60,000 elite soldiers, trap Zhao Yun in the mountain, and finally capture him alive." ”
The plan sounded like a dagger flickering in the night, full of sinister and subterfuge. Although the veteran Zhao Yun is extremely determined, he also has the carelessness of the elderly, and he is not aware of the enemy's conspiracy. His carelessness led him into the enemy's trap and he was trapped in Fengming Mountain. However, fortunately, Zhuge Liang sent Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to rescue Zhao Yun.
02 The enigmatic Cheng Wu: The driving force behind the Three Kingdoms era
In the long scrolls of the history of the Three Kingdoms era, there are many heroic generals, and one of the most talked about but little-known figures is Cheng Wu. With his ridicule of Zhao Yun and his unique strategy, he left a mysterious footprint in that turbulent era, but his life is like a mystery and rarely recorded.
Zhao Yun, dressed in the red dragon robe, was one of the high-profile heroes of the Three Kingdoms era. Even after he was over seventy years old, he was still full of courage and insisted on becoming the vanguard of the Northern Expedition. Cao Cao, Guan Yu and other famous generals all admired him, but Cheng Wu was the only maverick who dared to look down on this legendary general.
Cheng Wu, he may not be as loud as those well-known generals, but in that era of the Three Kingdoms, which was full of disputes, he blazed a trail and became a figure to be reckoned with in history with his outstanding resourcefulness and determination.
Although in the original book, our understanding of Cheng Wu is limited to the short ten words "Cheng Wu is the son of Cheng Yu who joined the army", there is an excellent strategist hidden behind these words. Cheng Wu, he inherited his father Cheng Yu's outstanding wisdom and military talent, but he also has a unique perseverance and courage. He was not satisfied with his father's honor and was eager to create his own legend in his career.
When he laughed at Zhao Yun, it was not contempt, but the beginning of a strategy. Cheng Wu deeply understood Zhao Yun's bravery, but he knew that bravery was not the same as wisdom. So, he came up with that bold plan to lure Zhao Yun to Fengming Mountain, and then set up an ambush there. The ingenuity of this strategy lies in the fact that it combines Zhao Yun's courage and tenacity with Cheng Wu's resourcefulness and determination. It's terrifying, but it's also admirable.
Cheng Wu's plan was not impulsive, but the product of careful consideration. He not only relies on the inheritance of his father Cheng Yu, but also has his own unique strategic vision. This young military genius may have been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the moment to show himself.
However, compared to Cheng Wu's mysterious plan, his fate hangs in the balance. History does not record his birth and death in detail, nor does it leave his later deeds. Cheng Wu seems to be in that confusing era, like a shadow, and as if lurking in the fog of history.
The story of Cheng Wu is like a pearl in history, although it is rarely recorded, it shines with a mysterious light. He was a distinctive figure in that heroic era, and his wit and courage may have left an indelible mark on history. However, Cheng Wu's life is an unsolved mystery after all, a story that makes people reverie infinitely.
