Throughout the ages, people have worshipped the hero Haojie. When it comes to the three kingdoms that have left the most profound impression on the world, they are Lü Bu and Guan Yu. I have to say that through the work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", people's impression of Lü Bu and Guan Yu has been greatly increased.
But throughout the ages, who is stronger about Lü Bu and Guan Yu? It has always been a topic of constant debate.
If we only look at "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", we must understand that this novel has made a lot of changes in the plot and character setting. Because the novel needs contradictions and conflicts to mobilize the reader's emotions, Luo Guanzhong also gives these heroes a more distinct personality.
Many people think that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is purely fabricated, but in fact, it is not. Mr. Luo Guanzhong also wrote this novel after reading the real history of the Three Kingdoms, and the comparison of the force values of many real people is also hinted at in the book.
Take the wonderful "Three British Battles Lü Bu" link in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which actually hints at Lü Bu's combat strength.
To put it bluntly, if any readers who have carefully read this paragraph will find that Luo Guanzhong wants to tell everyone: Don't think that Guan Yu and Zhang Feijia really can't beat Guan Yu in one piece, but Liu Bei helped after joining.
The book reads: "After fifty consecutive rounds of battles between Zhang Fei and Lü Bu, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat", that is to say, Zhang Fei and Lü Bu also have the strength to fight, and Guan Yu's combat strength is above Zhang Fei.
Later, it was written: "Guan Yu saw it, slapped the horse, danced eighty-two pounds of green dragon and moon knife, and came to attack Lü Bu", and the book only said that after thirty rounds, lü Bu could not be defeated, which showed that Lü Bu was very difficult at that time. The key place came, and after Liu Bei came up, Lü Bu gradually gained the upper hand from the original downwind.
When many people see this, they will subjectively believe that Lü Bu picks three and his combat strength is undoubtedly above Guan Yu. But most people ignored that after Liu Bei came up, the situation changed instantly. Because Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had to free up their energy to protect their eldest brother, Liu Bei couldn't bear to hurt Lü Bu, because Liu Bei regretted talent, which put Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in a very embarrassing situation.
If you only analyze it from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I think many readers are not convinced to see here.
Who is stronger in history, the real Guan Yu and Lü Bu?
During the Three Kingdoms period, if you want to restore that period of history, you can only get information from some wild histories, but these wild histories have very few records of the combat effectiveness of military generals. We can only look for clues from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by the Western Jin Dynasty writer Chen Shou. This ancient book is a masterpiece of jichuan historiography completed by Chen Shou after ten years of hardships, which truly records the wonderful history of the Three Kingdoms.
Although the combat strength value of the warriors recorded in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms is small, there are also clear records. For example, the military general Dianwei, Chen Shou specifically wrote his combat strength value in the book. Other military generals also wrote in detail Cao Ren and Zhang Liao.
For example, Chen Shou wrote in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that two people: one was to lead dozens of people to rush into the ten thousand troops in Jiangling, as if entering the no-man's land; the other led eight hundred people to rush into the 100,000 troops in Hefei, killed from morning to night, and finally returned with a big victory.
However, from this point, it can be seen that the three kingdoms truly recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are not inferior to the plot in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. And it has to be said that there are very few records of Guan Yu and Lü Bu's combat strength.
Then we may wish to analyze it through some detailed descriptions in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Chen Shou wrote in the book: It was Guan Yu who personally assassinated Yan Liang. And that is to say, there is nothing to do with Zhang Liao. Guan Yu's strength alone to take down Yan Liang in minutes is not a problem.
And those who have read the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" know that most of the heroes in it actually died in the war, which further highlights Guan Yu's combat effectiveness, and after Guan Yu killed Yan Liang, Chen Shou also said: "Then solve the White Horse Siege." To put it bluntly, Guan Yu may have been the only one in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty who ended a battle by himself. It is conceivable that Guan Yu's combat effectiveness in the real Three Kingdoms is very frightening.
Why? Then analyze!
Guan Yu helped Cao Cao achieve victory without a single soldier. After the Battle of Baima, there was a battle of the same level, that is, Yuan Shao entered Yanjin. The book records that Cao Cao spent millions of talents to win the battle. In contrast, Guan Yu's combat effectiveness is self-evident.
Speaking of Lü Bu, there is only one precious record in the book: "Lü Bu, with Xiao Wu to the state, bowed his horse, and was called a flying general." Guo Feng and Lü Bu fought alone (that is, the single challenge you want), Lü Bu stabbed Guo Feng with a spear, and Guo Feng rode forward to save Guo Feng. ”
Obviously, Lü Bu and Guo Si fought alone, and Lü Bu won. Guo Si's combat power was only a bullies, and Lü Bu was not easy in this battle. Chen Shou has a sentence in his book that describes Lü Bu, which can give us the answer, that is, "flying is more majestic than feathers."
Therefore, from this point of view, Guan Yu had the courage to block thousands of troops and horses when cutting Yan Liang, while Lü Bu only had to single out Guo Feng's performance. Obviously, the two are not on the same level at all!
Judging from the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, to be fair, Lü Bu should be slightly better than Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, Ma Chao and others, but definitely inferior to Guan Yu.
There is no doubt that Guan Yu ranked first in the true combat effectiveness of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but Luo Guanzhong weakened Guan Yu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
