Whether it is a family slave with three surnames or a surname that has always been surnamed Lü, Lü Bu is the first martial arts master of the Three Kingdoms, and this reader seems to have no objection: later he may not be able to defeat Zhang Fei, but that is not Zhang Fei's strength alone, and Lü Bu's wives and concubines have helped a lot - Lü Bu is older than Liu Bei, and people are not able to use their muscles and bones, not to mention that Lü Bu does not seem to know much about the way of health.
Lü Bu is like a target and benchmark in the Post-Han Three Kingdoms period: almost all first-class masters want to make a name for themselves by defeating or killing Lü Bu, and we can also roughly measure their martial arts skills through their records of fighting Lü Bu.
If we look closely at the three group beatings and heads-ups carried out by the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms against Lü Bu, we can divide the eight fierce generals under Cao Cao Liu Bei into three grades according to their martial arts - in a sense, Lü Bu is a scale, and the eight fierce generals are called three heavyweights.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei's generals had fought with Lü Bu at their peak, that is, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, Dianwei, Xiahou Huan, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, and Le Jin—Zhang Liao could not have fought with Lü Bu, because Zhang Liao had fought with Ding Yuan, He Jin, Dong Zhuo, and Lü Bu before the rebellion in Baimenlou, and did not have the opportunity to fight with the "lord" Lü Bu.
Because the fight between Yu Ban and Lü Bu was not interesting at all, it was purely a boy against a strong man, so the three fierce battles and eight generals we want to talk about today did not count Yu Ban's time - it was just that Lü Bu, who was driving wildly, encountered two praying mantises with outstretched arms.
The story of Lü Bu before the Tiger Prison Pass, the readers are familiar with it, the author said a lot of nonsense, but there is a detail that everyone has noticed: "Flying spirit, fighting Lü Bu." More than fifty consecutive fights, regardless of victory or defeat. Yun Chang saw it, slapped the horse, and danced eighty-two pounds of green dragon and moon knives to attack Lü Bu. ”
Although Zhang Fei and Lü Bu did not show defeat for fifty rounds, they certainly did not take advantage, so Guan Yu, who has always been proud of his identity, did not talk about martial virtue to attack the ground, which shows that Zhang Fei's level at that time could be equal to Lü Bu within fifty rounds, and after fifty rounds, he may fall behind or even be in danger, which Guan Yu, who is watching the battle close to him, should know it.
According to the description of the novel, Liu Bei did not help but added chaos before the Tiger Prison Pass: "Lü Bujia was uncertain, looking at Xuan De's face, he stabbed a sword, and Xuan De flashed sharply." Lü Bu swung away the horns, dragged the painting upside down, and the Pegasus returned. ”
Lü Bu is an expert in fighting, of course, to break through from the weak links, so a detailed explanation of the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, we will find that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei just fought with Lü Bu, and Liu Bei became the straw that crushed the camel.
Liu Guanzhang's three men could beat Lü Bu away, and Cao Ying's sixth general could do the same, but in terms of individual combat ability, Xu Chudianwei was obviously slightly inferior to Zhang Feiguanyu. Xu Chu and Lü Bu fought for twenty rounds, and Cao Cao saw that something was wrong: "Lü Bu is not alone. ”
Cao Cao's martial arts were not necessarily under Liu Bei's, and his ability to control and observe the battle situation should also be on par with Liu Bei's, he saw that Xu Chu could not defeat Lü Bu, and immediately sent Dianwei up to help--readers, please note that Dianwei did not take the initiative to fight but followed orders: "Then send Dianwei to assist in the battle, the two generals will attack, xiahou Huan and Xiahou Yuan on the left, Li Dian and Le Jin on the right will attack Lü Bu together, Bu Can't stop it, and send horses back to the city." ”
Xu Chu Dianwei did not fight Lü Bu twice, and Cao Ying's six generals came out to beat Lü Bu away, which shows that Xu Chu jia Dianwei's combat effectiveness is far inferior to That of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei--no matter how powerful Liu Bei is, it is impossible to be equal to the four people of Xiahou Xiahou Yuan, Li Dianlejin, and perhaps those four people can beat Liu Bei away.
From this point of view, if Guan Yu Zhang Fei is classified as a heavyweight, then Cao Yingliu will be able to count as middleweight or even lightweight at best.
But there is a question that arises here: if Cao Ying's main generals are all so good, how can Cao Cao become the strongest tyrant in the Later Han Dynasty?
In order to answer this question, we also have to look at the third battle, through this battle, we will find that the first heavyweight player who can keep pace with Guan Yu Zhang Fei is not nothing, but he just strolled around and played soy sauce at the beginning, and when it came to playing with his life, he would show that he was not weaker than Guan Yu Zhang Fei's strength.
The plan in Puyang City was defeated, and the generals fled with Cao Cao, "Lü Bu suddenly came to the horse, at this time the people were sleepy and lacking, and everyone looked at each other and wanted to escape." ”
Just when everyone was thinking about saving their lives and not caring whether Cao Cao was dead or alive, the fierce character who dared to play with his life appeared: "Cao Cao was panicking and walking, and a Biao army arrived in the south, and it was Xiahou Huan who led the army to rescue and intercept Lü Bu's battle." At dusk, heavy rain poured down, and their respective armies dispersed. ”
Xiahou Huan fought for his old life, and Lü Bu's liver also trembled, so Xiahou Huan became one of the two fierce generals who could fight lü Bu undefeated in the Three Kingdoms period of the Later Han Dynasty, and the other was of course Zhang Fei Zhang Yide, who could fight with Lü Bu for a hundred rounds later.
At this time, there may be readers who want to say: How can Xiahou Huan, a one-eyed general, be compared with a famous general like Xu Chudianwei?
Guan Yu Guan Yunchang should have the most right to speak on this question, because he could cut Xu Chu Xu Huang with a big knife, but Xiahou Huan couldn't help it, and when Guan Yu was trapped in Tushan, it was because Xiahou Huan was too difficult: "Xu Huang and Xu Chu caught up with the battle, Guan Gong struggled to kill the two, and the army wanted to return to Xia Pi, and Xiahou Huan intercepted the fight." The battle lasted until the end of the night, and there was no way back. ”
It is estimated that Lü Bu and Guan Yu scolded Xiahou a thousand times in their hearts: "This guy is a piece of cowhide candy rotten plaster, sticking to it can not be thrown off, want to kill him, it is not so easy!" ”
Xiahou Huan, who made Lü Bu and Guan Yu very headache, could undoubtedly be tied with Guan Yu Zhang Fei and become a heavyweight player in the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty, Xu Chu and Dianwei Wugong should be able to enter the second gear between Bo Zhong, even if they were sub-heavyweight or middleweight players, Xiahou Yuannu worked hard, he could also squeeze in, as for Li Dian and Le Jin, although they had good performances in the main history, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they could only be the same as Ding Feng Xu Sheng Jiang Qin Zhou Tai, the early equivalent of passers-by A B, Wuzi Liang and Five Tiger Generals all died Only then will they emerge.
Through the above three group fights and heads-ups, the author divides Liu Bei Caocao's eight generals into three grades and magnitudes according to martial arts: the heavyweight Guan Yu Zhang Fei Xiahou Huan is the first grade, the second heavyweight Dianwei Xu Chu Xiahou Yuan can be counted as the second gear (Xiahou Yuan may be counted as the middleweight), and Li Dian and Le Jin seem to be the third light grade of Taiping Boxing in the Yanyi novel.
What we are talking about today is only the eight fierce generals under Cao Cao Liu Bei, who have dealt with Lü Bu head-on, Zhao Yunma Chao Huang Zhongtai Shi Ci are not among them, the division of these three grades is only a family statement drawn by the author according to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", this article should be thrown bricks and jade, appropriate or not, but also have to ask readers to teach without hesitation.
