At the end of the Han Dynasty, the princes competed for hegemony, and the princes fought against each other, of which the Cao Sun Liu Sanjia was the most powerful, and the descendants described the story of the division and integration of these three families with a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is extremely wonderful, and the most wonderful thing in the interpretation is that in addition to the wisdom between the strategists of various camps, the fighting between the warriors is undoubtedly another major attraction in the whole novel.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">1</h1>
To say that the military generals of caosun and liu's three camps are stronger, there is no doubt that most people will think that the five tiger generals of Liu Bei's camp, indeed, although the three martial generals have their own characteristics, but the author of the yanyi is obviously more partial to the Shu Han camp, under this premise, the eastern Wu martial generals are almost unselected, one by one the ability is flat, and the top military generals of the Cao Wei camp are only Xu Chu Dianwei, but Dianwei died early, leaving only One Xu Chu who was still pressed to the ground by Zhang Fei, one of the five tigers, from time to time.
On the other hand, the five tiger generals of Liu Bei's camp were all top martial generals, and their combat effectiveness was super-first-class existence, although Shu Han eventually perished at the hands of Wei Guo, but still could not stop people's love for the military generals in the Shu Han camp.
Five Tiger Generals
The so-called five tigers are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun, because in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the zhengshi, Chen Shou combined these five people into one biography, so Yanyi adapted the five people into the five tiger generals. In history, the "Five Tigers" of the Shu Han Dynasty had the greatest impact on future generations, not Zhao Yun, who was white-horse and silver-gun, not Ma Chao, who killed Cao Cao, who cut off his beard and abandoned his robe, nor Huang Zhong, who was immortal with a sword, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the earliest of the Five Tigers, although these two had a more tragic ending in the novel, but later generations still admired them incomparably. Whether it was the Wei and Jin dynasties or the Southern and Northern Dynasties, people always compared those brave and good warriors to Guan Yu Zhang Fei, which was definitely one of the best in the Three Kingdoms for the status of "General of the Bear and Tiger" and "Tiger Minister of the World".
Every time Jin Liu Xi hits a thief, he traps jian and destroys the front, and Ji Fang compares Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's "Book of Jin"
Wei Yang's eyes widened, and the world thought that Guan Zhangfu's fault was also "Book of Wei"
If you want to talk about who is higher in the history of Guan Zhang, it is undoubtedly Guan Yu, whether it is the record, status, or reputation, Guan Yu is obviously slightly higher than Zhang Fei in the right history, "flying majestic and powerful, inferior to Guan Yu."
Guan yu
In the rendition, Guan Yu is the same, but the most popular thing among the martial generals is the comparison of force, so in terms of pure force value, is Guan Yu's performance also higher than Zhang Fei's head as in history?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">2</h1>
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu as one of the three absolutes is the author's key portrayal of the object (the three absolutes are the rape of Cao Cao, the wisdom of Zhuge Liang, the righteousness of Guan Yu), so Guan Yu's brilliant scenes are extremely numerous, such as Huarong Daoyi interpretation of Cao Cao, single knife to the meeting, five levels to cut six generals, scraping bones to cure poison, etc., compared to Zhang Fei's brilliance is relatively small, so in terms of pure personal ability, who is stronger in the performance?
First of all, Guan Yu, the appearance of Wenjiu and Huaxiong will not be discussed, after all, Huaxiong's status and reputation are not enough, followed by the Battle of Baima to cut Yan Liang and Wen Ugly, the Battle of Changsha to draw Huang Zhong, the Launch of the Xiangfan War, the capture of the forbidden Pound, the battle to draw Xu Huang, these opponents are all famous generals.
Looking at Zhang Fei again, single challenge to equal Lü Bu and Ma Chao, military operations to defeat Zhang Gao and Yan Yan, Zhang Fei's resume is very simple, but the gold content is very high, not to talk about Ma Chao, just in terms of the point of fighting Lü Bu, but from the perspective of force value, it will not be weaker than Guan Yu. But to specifically say which is strong and which is weak, it is really difficult to make a conclusion, to a large extent, between Zhang zhang and Bo Zhong, they are the same strong existence, Zhang Fei can fight Lü Bu and Ma Chao and did not taste a defeat, the combat style is brave, and Although Guan Yu has more records of old age and draws, but the early record of slashing generals is unbeatable, this is a plus, and Zhang Fei does not have this aspect.
Zhang Fei
When discussing guan yu zhang fei who is stronger, there is a statement that seems to be irrefutable; that is, Zhang Fei is stronger than Guan Yu, because both of them have fought against Yuan Shu's vanguard general Ji Ling, Guan Yu is thirty rounds without winning or losing, and Zhang Fei is less than ten rounds to stab Ji Ling, so it is concluded that Zhang Fei is obviously stronger than Guan Yu.
In this way, Zhang Fei seems to be indeed stronger than Guan Yu, after all, the number of rounds is clearly written, so is this really the case?
Regarding the division of the military value of the three martial generals, in fact, it is not a seemingly simple thing, the ability level between different military generals cannot be concluded through a simple comparison, and I cannot simply cut you, I am better than you.
Can Guan Yu prove that Guan Yu can beat Yan Liang with an overwhelming advantage? Of course not, all of them I have analyzed in previous articles, and I will not dwell on them here.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the same, which is the same as Zhao Yun's one-shot high-altitude is the same truth, Zhao Yun is naturally stronger than high-level, the level difference should be directly acknowledged, but the level of high-level is certainly not inferior to the point of being killed by a shot, for example, Xu Huang's force value as the first person under Xu Chudianwei in Cao Camp, the result was shot by an arrow by two or five boys Meng Da, these discrepancing deaths can only be explained by accident, It cannot be used directly as a reference for the level of martial arts ability. </h1>
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">3</h1>
Returning to the question that Guan Yu was able to stab Ji Ling to death in less than ten rounds of "Ping" Ji Ling, under normal circumstances, those who agreed with Zhang Fei's statement that Guan Yu was stronger than Guan Yu were obviously drawn from the conclusion of the battle Against Ji Ling, after all, a thirty flat, a ten he died, simply through the literal size can be obviously compared.
Indeed, looking at the Three Kingdoms, there may not be a few martial generals of similar strength who have fought against the same opponent, and the number of rounds is clearly written, so it seems that Zhang Fei is stronger than Guan Yu, but is this really the case? Can't this comparison lead to any problems?
Ji Ling
First of all, it can be confirmed that Zhang Fei did not have any problems with the whole battle ji, the whole process was short and rapid, and there were no flowers and flowers around worthy of scrutiny and doubt:
Xuan De knew that Yuan Shu was coming, and 50,000 troops of Guan, Zhang, Zhu Ling, and Lu Zhao were coming out, and they were facing the vanguard Ji Lingzhi. Zhang Fei didn't even talk and took Ji Ling directly. Fighting without ten, Zhang Fei shouted loudly, stabbed Ji Ling under the horse, and the defeated army ran away. - The Twenty-first Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Although Ji Ling was a vanguard general under Yuan Shu, his overall strength was not strong, after all, Lü Bu grabbed him "like a child", and Zhang Fei was even more intimidating to Lü Bu, so Shihe died under Zhang Fei's spear, worthy of him, replaced by Lü Bu, Ji Ling was also more or less like this.
Ji Ling's life-ending battle has nothing to see, but his appearance battle and Guan Yu are intriguing, and all of them are not as simple as they seem on the surface.
Ji Ling was furious, slapped the horse dance knife, and took XuanDe directly. Guan Gong shouted, "Pifu Hugh got away with it!" "Out of the horse and Ji Ling's battle." Thirty in a row, no matter whether it is won or lost. Ji Ling shouted for less rest, and Guan Gong rode back to the front and stood in front of the line. However, Ji Ling sent his deputy general Xun Zheng out of the horse. Guan Gong said, "Only teach Ji Ling to come and fight with him!" Xun Zhengyue: "Ru Nai is an unnamed general, not a general of Ji's opponent!" Guan Gong was furious and took Xun Zheng directly; he crossed the horses and cut Xun Zheng under the horse. - The Fourteenth Romance of the Three Kingdoms
The above is the whole process of Guan Yu's battle against Ji Ling, on the surface it seems that there is no difference between the thirty rounds of fierce battle between the two of them, but in fact, from Guan Yu's "out of the horse and Ji Ling's battle" to "cutting Xun is under the horse", there are many doubts and very unusual.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">4</h1>
Is Guan Yu Jiling's thirty rounds a one-sided suppression or is it really a matter of winning or losing?
First of all, after Guan Yu and Ji Ling fought for thirty rounds without winning or losing, Ji Ling shouted for less rest, and the battle became abnormal from here.
Looking at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the two warriors singled out before the battle either to suppress or belittle each other through language like Zhang Fei to Lü Bu, or to respect each other as brightly and honestly as Guan Yu against Huang Zhong, but like Ji Ling, who shouted less rest and then fought, Ji Ling was still the number one, but although this sentence "less rest" was more abrupt, at least it could be understood, perhaps Ji Ling really had no physical strength to rest for a while, or maybe he knew that his skills were not as good as people who wanted to withdraw and retreat. In the face of this situation, others may not pay any attention to Ji Ling, after all, the battlefield fight is either your death or my death, but what is unusual is that Guan Yu really listened to Ji Ling's words, "Guan Gong dialed his horse back to the front and stood in front of the battle", and the opposite Ji Ling saw this and called Guan Yu very well-behaved and sensible, completely unlike the rumors from the outside world.
So is Ji Ling really not as skilled as a person's physical strength before choosing to withdraw from the battle?
The answer is no, Guan Yu is quite true and honest with Ji Ling in these thirty rounds, of course, some people may think that Guan Yu has the upper hand in these thirty rounds, Ji Ling knows that he is invincible before choosing to withdraw, this question we will explain later.
Ji Ling went down, and then the deputy general Xun Zheng came out, Guan Yu naturally disdained to fight with people of Xun Zheng's level, but what Xun Zheng said was a bit incomprehensible: "Ru is a general without a name, not an opponent of General Ji!"
Xun Zheng had just finished saying this when he was sent away by Guan Yu Yihe, and when he left, he was very peaceful and painless.
Back to the question just now, if Guan Yu had formed an oppression on Ji Ling in the previous thirty rounds, which had caused Ji Ling to be timid, then Ji Ling after the battle would definitely explain Guan Yu's strength to Xun Zheng, the question was, Ji Ling knew that he was not Guan Yu's opponent, why did he let his deputy general go up and send him to death? In addition, Xun Zhengming knew Guan Yu's strength from Ji Ling, so why did he still speak wildly about Guan Yu when he went to battle, so that we as readers felt like he was like a two-hundred-and-five?
The only reasonable explanation is that in the thirty rounds of battle between Guan Yu and Ji Ling, the two were indeed on an equal footing, of course, this must be because Guan Yu deliberately collected his subordinates to be merciful, and the opposite Ji Ling naturally did not know this, and the thirty rounds did not distinguish between victory and defeat, only when Guan Yu and himself were not divided. Ji Ling saw this and wanted to use wheel tactics to consume Guan Yu's physical strength, but what Ji Ling didn't expect was that he tentatively shouted shao xie and actually agreed!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">5</h1>
After the battle, Ji Ling let the strength slightly inferior to his own Xun Zheng on the battlefield, and Xun Zheng must have learned Guan Yu's strength from the mouth of the main general before he went into battle, Xun Zheng knew that although he could not defeat the other party, but at least he could persist for a while, this kind of consumption tactic Ji Ling was likely to have told Xun Zhengming, and it was based on this that Xun Zheng dared to speak wildly in front of Guan Yu, after all, he knew that with his understanding of the level of the main general Ji Ling, it was no problem for him to persist for dozens of rounds in front of Guan Yu.
But people are not as good as heavenly calculations, I didn't expect that just one union, I would scream for my life, but at the last moment before I died, Xun Zheng didn't know whether to scold Guan Yu or Ji Ling, maybe he scolded both of them again...
Guan Yu was angry, Xun Zheng hung up, and Ji Ling, who was at halftime, was stunned, so he said:
Xuan De drove his troops to kill the general, Ji Ling was defeated, retreated to the mouth of the Huai Yin River, and did not dare to fight
Liu Bei went out to attack Yuan Shu to "unify the horse infantry army of 30,000", and Yuan Shu took Ji Ling as the vanguard to "raise 100,000 troops".
Yuan Shu
Ji Ling's soldiers and horses were three times more than Liu Bei's, was it because of the death of a small deputy general who chose to withdraw his troops, of course, it was impossible, from Xun Zheng's death, Ji Ling had instantly understood that there was a difference of more than a dozen streets between his own strength Guan Yu, thinking about the thirty rounds just now, and then thinking about Xun Zheng's death, Ji Ling instantly felt as if he had died three times, but he didn't know why the other party wanted to keep himself alive for some reason, why he was alive Ji Ling didn't know, but he knew that he was likely to be the same as Xun Zheng when he fought this battle again, I don't know when I will anger the other party, and I may die at any time.
After retiring from the army, Ji Ling still had palpitations in his heart, and from time to time he remembered those thirty rounds, he only felt that he was dancing on the scythe of the god of death at that time, and this battle against Liu Bei Ji Ling no longer had the heart to continue, "Only teach the soldiers to steal the camp and rob the village, and they were all killed and defeated by xuzhou soldiers." ”
Liu Bei
To sum up the battle between Guan Yu and Ji Ling, first of all, Guan Yu collected force and deliberately released water and Ji Ling fought thirty rounds without winning or losing, and thus let Ji Ling have a wrong judgment that the strength of the other party was similar to his own, seeing that Guan Yu could not be solved quickly, Ji Ling wanted to consume Guan Yu's physical strength with wheel tactics, and then Xun Zheng went out of the horse, because of the wild words that provoked Guan Yu and was sent away by a knife, Ji Ling suddenly understood the huge gap between the two sides directly, and chose to retreat under a panic, and the battle of Guan Ji ended from then on.
Therefore, in summary, the thirty rounds played by Guan Yu and Ji Ling were basically determined to be water, which could not be used as a reference for evaluating Guan Yu's strength value, let alone to prove that Zhang Fei was stronger than Guan Yu.
Another key point in the battle between Guan Yu and Ji Ling was that the thirty rounds between the two were indeed indistinguishable from victory or defeat, not that some views suggested that Guan Yu easily suppressed Ji Ling the whole time, and that Ji Ling shouted less rest because of his lack of physical strength, this view was wrong, otherwise what Xun Zheng said later would become illogical, and it would not explain why Ji Ling did not dare to fight just because he died of a vice general.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">6</h1>
The last question, that is, why didn't Guan Yu kill Ji Ling? What is he worried about? Why did Zhang Fei dare to kill Ji Ling, and why did he have no scruples?
To clarify these two problems, we must first look at what kind of background period Guan Zhang is in when facing Ji Ling, so as to better understand Ji Ling's two different endings.
First of all, Guan Yu, since Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Han into Xu Capital, the conditions of holding Tianzi hostage to order the princes had been achieved, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the emperor's uncle Liu Bei when he was first used as a gun. Cao Cao's chief think tank Xun Yu first made a move of "two tigers competing for food", first appointing Liu Bei to be Xuzhou Mu, and then Cao Cao secretly sent Liu Bei to kill Lü Bu of Tun Bing XiaoPei, if the plan succeeded, liu and Lü's two families would be beneficial to Cao Cao no matter who won. However, as a result, Liu Bei easily saw through this plan and used the excuse of "allowing and slowing down" to confuse the past. Xun Yu saw that this plan could not be achieved and immediately gave birth to another plan, this plan is called "the strategy of driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf", first secretly informing Yuan Shu that Liu Bei wants to seize your territory, and then in the name of the emperor, he ordered Liu Bei to kill Yuan Shu, so that a war will definitely break out between Yuan and Liu, and at that time, Lü Bu's virtue will definitely touch the fish in muddy waters, and it has to be said that Xun Yu's plan is used very fiercely, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei are all out of action, and Lü Bu also gave Liu Bei a dove to occupy the magpie's nest as expected.
Lü Bu
Yuan Shuren was a powerful person who said that Liu Bei, who belonged to a small role at that time, would fight and fight, and Liu Bei, although he knew that it was a plan, but he was a relative of the Han Dynasty and was also an emperor's edict, facing a warlord like Yuan Shu at the level of a prince, although he was a hundred unwilling, he was helpless in the end.
Xuan De said: "Although it is a plan, the king's order cannot be violated." The army and horses were ordered, and the departure began.
So Guan Yu was in this context against Ji Ling of Yuan Shu's camp, for Liu Bei, the soldiers were definitely going to come out, but how should the battle be fought? Or how to fight your own losses to a minimum. From Liu Bei's own point of view, he searched the bottom of the family to produce thirty thousand horses, unwilling to go out, the result of the opposite Yuan Shu small hand waved up is a hundred thousand troops, Liu Bei said that he very much wants to swear words, although the battle must be fought, but in order to better settle down in the future, for Yuan Shu Liu Bei feels that it is better not to make too stiff, after all, his own little family foundation, really fighting is definitely not Yuan Shu's opponent, so this battle must be big and small, small things, not for the best.
And Guan Yu is also based on this central idea, facing the ji ling who is whining and scum on the other side is only the point to the end, you want to beat me when you are a sparring partner, you are tired of waiting on the sidelines, wait until you have enough, so this explains why Guan Yu, who has always been proud and arrogant, will suddenly become "well-behaved and sensible" when he faces Ji Ling again.
As for Xun Zheng, he appeared under the wrong judgment and wrong command of the main general, and after the appearance, he said the wrong words, angered the people who should not be offended, and finally ushered in a correct ending for himself under the superposition of various mistakes...
end:
And when Zhang Fei met Ji Ling, Yuan Shu had already collapsed and his power was not as good as before, and he had fallen to the point where he could only turn to Yuan Shao, plus he had hastily claimed that the emperor had already been pointed out by thousands of people, and at this time, he was like a drowning dog, and he had reached the point where everyone shouted and beat him.
Shao's brother Yuan Shu was arrogant and extravagant in Huainan, and he did not sympathize with the military and the people, and everyone turned their backs on him.
Therefore, when Zhang Fei faced Ji Ling, he had no scruples like Guan Yu at the beginning, and ji Ling at that time had no chance to shout for less rest or spare his life.
Zhang Fei may be stronger than Guan Yu in terms of force value, but he must not talk about Ji Ling again, because Guan Yu's various signs against Ji Ling are illogical, so it cannot be used as a basis for evaluating the strength value of the two people.
