Lü Bu was originally the lord of Shi Ding's former subordinate Bo, and at the end of the Han Dynasty, Lü Bu first killed Ding Yuan to join Dong Zhuo, and then killed Dong Zhuo as the general of The Imperial Court, false festival, Yi Bi Sansi and entered the Fengwen Marquis, taking charge of the military power of the Eastern Han Dynasty court, but soon after was driven out of Chang'an by Dong Zhuo's old subordinates Li Dai and Guo Feng, who counterattacked Chang'an, Lü Bu, who had nowhere to go, successively defected to Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang, and then Chen Gong and Zhang Mi took advantage of Cao Cao's eastern expedition to Xuzhou to welcome Lü Bu into Yanzhou. Lü Bu swept through Yanzhou and was eventually defeated by Cao Cao and then welcomed into Xuzhou by Liu Bei, but Liu Bei's move was to lure the wolf into the room, and it was not long before Lü Bu took advantage of Liu Bei's invasion of Yuan Shu to attack Xuzhou and became the new master of Xuzhou.
Lü Bu's life is quite legendary, from Hezhou to Luoyang, and then to Chang'an, after the defeat and retreat of Chang'an, he went to Jizhou, Hanoi, Yanzhou and Xuzhou in Sili Prefecture, just because Lü Bu traveled to many places, so the history of his generals is also quite complicated, today I will talk about the five major factions in Lü Bu's army: Zhang Liao is not a concubine, Gao Shun does not belong to the Hezhou army, and Zang Ba is only an ally.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > and prefectures: Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Wei Yue</h1>
The State Army was the foundation of Lü Bu, of which Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Wei Yue were Lü Bu's concubines (Wei Yue may have been related to Wei Xu), but Zhang Liao was not Lü Bu's concubine, because Zhang Liao was engaged in it when he was under Ding Yuan, Lü Bu was the master, and the status of the two was almost equal, and from the perspective of Zhang Liao's appointment as Minister of State of Lu (the State of Lu belonged to Yu Prefecture and not Xuzhou), Zhang Liao had a certain degree of independence in Lü Bu's army.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > Yanzhou faction: Chen Gong and Gao Shun</h1>
Chen Gong did not say much, he was the core figure who welcomed Lü Bu into Yanzhou, and most of the views believed that Gao Shun was also from the Hezhou Army, but it was more likely that Gao Shun and Chen Gong belonged to the Yanzhou faction together.
First, it is very unlikely that Gao Shun came from the Hezhou Army, because gao Shunhe was not seen before the Battle of Puyang in 194, and when Lü Bu was defeated and retreated to Chang'an, there were only hundreds of cavalry around him, not including the trapped camp, not to mention that the trapped camp was a heavily armored infantry, and the fighting style of the Hezhou Iron Horse was also incompatible.
Second, the "Old Biography of Chen Liuqi" compiled in the Taiping Imperial Records records: "Gao Shun, the word filial piety, Dun Hou Shaohua. "In addition to Gao Shun, there were two celebrities of Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan and Gao Gan's brother Gao Rou, Chen Liu Gao and Runan's Yuan clan were in-laws, and it was quite possible that Gao Shun initially served under Yuan Shao, Lü Bu had defected to Yuan Shao after fleeing Chang'an in 192, and the two may have fought side by side when dealing with the Black Mountain Army; in 194, in addition to welcoming Lü Bu into Yanzhou, there was also a core figure Zhang Mi, and Zhang Mi was the Taishou of Chen Liu County, Yanzhou. Therefore, Gao Shun served under Lü Bu either when Lü Bu left Yuan Shao in 193 or when Chen Gong and Zhang Mi welcomed Lü Bu into Yanzhou in 194.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > Hanoi school: Hao Meng and Cao Sex</h1>
The two were from Hanoi, SiliZhou, and considering that Lü Bu had defected to Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang and spent some time in Hanoi (at first Ding Yuan had three tiger generals Under Ding Yuan,Zhang Yang, Lü Bu, and Zhang Liao, and Lü Bu and Zhang Yang had a strong relationship, and when Cao Cao besieged Lü Bu later, zhang Yang was the only one in the world who was ready to send troops to rescue Lü Bu), there was reason to believe that Hao Meng and Cao Sex had defected to Lü Bu during this period, but Hao Meng was not loyal to Lü Bu, and in 196 he rebelled against Lü Bu and was repelled by Gao Shun.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > Xuzhou pie: Cao Bao</h1>
Cao Bao's Cao clan was a local haoqiang in Xuzhou, originally a general of Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, Tao Qian let Xuzhou after Cao Bao became a general of Liu Bei, Lü Bu attacked Xuzhou Cao Bao rebelled against Liu Bu and served Lü Bu, Cao Bao's influence in the Xuzhou family clan, although not as good as Chen Deng, was a faction in Lü Bu's army that could not be ignored.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > Zangba</h1>
Although Zang Ba was included in the list of Lü Bu's eight jian generals in the speech, in fact, Zang Ba was not a direct subordinate of Lü Bu, the two were more of an alliance, as early as the Tao Qian era, Zang Ba's army became a hegemon in the Kaiyang area in northern Xuzhou, and the same was true during The Liu Bei period, not only Tao Qian and Liu Bei could not help Zang Ba, Lü Bu was the same, Zang Ba's status was superior, and his independence in Xuzhou was very strong, but when a foreign enemy invaded Xuzhou, Zang Ba would also cooperate with Lü Bu to send troops.
