During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei had the strongest strength and the most territory, but there were also many enemies in the face of the enemy, the southeast, southwest, and northwest directions had strong enemies, of which the opponents of the northern front were mainly northern nomads, and the main opponent of the southern front was Guan Yu of Shu Han at the beginning, and later after Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou, the opponent of the eastern front was also Eastern Wu, the opponent on the western front was Shu Han, and it was also the strongest opponent of Cao Wei, and the war between the two sides almost never stopped, so Cao Wei had heavy troops on the western front. The Yongliang Legion on the Western Front is also the strongest fighting force of Cao Wei, and most of its military commanders are famous generals who can recruit good battles, so today I will take stock of Cao Wei's seven commanders of the Western Theater: Except for the two who are a little weak, the rest are all famous generals who can fight good battles (after the gaopingling change, they are not included in the inventory, because at that time, Cao Wei's power had fallen into the hands of Sima Shi, and the main generals on the Western Front were almost all Sima Clan cronies).
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > first place: Xiahou Yuan, the general of Zhenxi</h1>
Xiahou Yuan's military ability was actually a bit underestimated, otherwise Cao Cao's use of people would not have given him the power of the Western Front, Xiahou Yuan officially became the general of the Western Expedition in 215, becoming the commander of the Western Theater of Cao Wei, and the deputy commander was the general Zhang Guo, who briefly acted as the main general after the Battle of Dingjunshan in 219.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second place: Cao Zhang, the general of the Yue Cavalry</h1>
After the Battle of Hanzhong in 219, Cao Cao's division returned to the dynasty, leaving his son Cao Zhangzhen who had just returned from the northern front to defend Chang'an, although there were Generals such as Zhang Guo and Guo Huai in the Yongliang Army, but they were definitely under Cao Zhang's control, and a few months later Cao Cao died, and Cao Zhang led his troops from Chang'an to Luoyang to fight for the throne and failed to return to Chang'an.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > third place: General Zhenxi and General Cao Zhen</h1>
In 220, Cao Pi took Cao Zhen as the governor of yongliang military forces in Zhenxi, in 222 Cao Zhen returned to Beijing to serve as a general of the Shangjun Army, and after 228 Zhuge Liang successively made five Northern Expeditions, and Cao Wei's western front became the main battlefield, at this time Cao Zhen had been promoted to a great general, and after Cao Xiu's death, he took over as the grand sima and was the highest head of Cao Wei's military, that is to say, Cao Zhen was not only the commander of the western theater, but also the commander-in-chief of the Cao Wei military, and the deputy commander of the western theater was Zhang Guo, the general of the Zhengxi Cheqi.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > fourth place: The Anxi general Xiahou Shu</h1>
In 220, Cao Pi made Xiahou Shu's son Xiahou Shu the governor of Guanzhong,and continued until 228, when Zhuge Liang launched the First Northern Expedition; Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shu had no subordination relationship, but Cao Zhen was above Xiahou Shu, during this time On the Shu Han side, Liu Bei was busy with Wu and Liu Chan ascended the throne, and Zhuge Liang was busy with internal affairs and peace in the southern central rebellion, and there were very few wars on the western front of Cao Wei, so the rank of military commander was low (General Anxi was one of the generals of Si'an, below the generals of Sizheng and Sizhen).
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > fifth place: the great general Sima Yi</h1>
After Cao Zhen's death in 231, Cao Wei's successor was lacking, and he looked at all the generals in the army, only Sima Yi could be called Zhuge Liang's opponent, so the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui transferred the general Sima Yi from the southern front to the western front, and changed the military of Jingyu Erzhou to the military of Yongliang, and Zhang Gao was still the deputy commander of the Western Theater.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > sixth place: Zhao Yu, the general of The Western Expedition</h1>
After Cao Rui's death, the young Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, and the power fell into the hands of the general Cao Shuang, the taiwei Sima Yi was secretly demoted to the post of Taifu, and the Yongliang army was controlled by Zhao Yu, who first served as the general of Zhengshu and supervised the military of Yongliang Erzhou, and soon rose to the rank of general of Zhengxi Anduan to oversee the yongliang military.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > seventh place: Xiahou Xuan, the general of Zhenxi</h1>
In 243, Zhao Yu entered the dynasty and was promoted to Sikong, and the successor to Yongliang was Xiahou Shang's son, the general Xiahou Xuan of Zhengxi, the first deputy commander was the former general and Yongzhou Assassin Shi Guohuai, and the second deputy commander was Xiahou Ba, the protector of Shu and the right general.
Cao Wei's seven commanders of the Western Theater, except for Xiahou Shu, who was considered "cowardly and unscrupulous" by Wei Yan, and Xiahou Xuan, who was a little weak although talented in leading troops to fight, the other five were not famous generals who could recruit good warriors, in addition, Sima Yi and Zhao Yu were generals with foreign surnames, and the rest of Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhen, Xiahou Shu, and Xiahou Xuan were all clan generals, which was also in line with the tradition that most of Cao Wei's military power was in the hands of the clan generals Cao And Xiahou.
