Bai Ma Po faced Yan Liang's beheading of Song Xian and Wei Xian, Xu Huang was defeated for twenty rounds, but no one in Cao Cao's army went to meet the battle, until guan Yu's appearance made Cao's army lose and win. And as the first general under Cao Cao, why did Xu Chu not fight, after all, he had also fought Lü Bu, and later also fought Ma Chao Pound, why did Xu Chu always stay behind Cao Cao in Baima Po and not meet the enemy? Is his strength really inferior to Yan Liang's? And what is the gap between Xu Chu and Yan Liang?
【Cao Cao's wishes】
Cao Cao's biggest enemy in the early days was Yuan Shao, and cao cao was also extra careful in preparing for a war, after all, Yuan Shao's army was much stronger than Cao Jun's. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were very familiar with each other since childhood, and they knew a lot about his personality and the many civilian generals under him, and they were also very clear about Yan Liang's martial arts and abilities, and they were also a little uneasy when they saw Yan Liang's army in BaimaPo. Cao Cao was very familiar with Xu Chu's abilities and would not easily defeat Yan Liang, but he was not absolutely sure of defeating Yan Liang. Because Xu Chu was the first general under Cao Cao's account after Dianwei's death, if he went into battle, it would have a great impact on Cao Jun, after all, there were many people in Cao's army who feared Yuan Shao's army at this time, that is to say, Xu Chu's morale in defeating Cao's army increased greatly, and Xu Chu's fear of Yuan Shao's army after defeating Cao's army would be even stronger.
Cao Cao was a very sensitive person militarily, and he was unwilling to blindly let Xu Chu fight with force to decide the outcome of the battlefield, of course, he also hoped that Xu Chu or his generals would be able to defeat Yan Liang, the first general of Yuan Shao's army, so he sent Song Xian, the eight jian generals under Lü Bu, to fight. Although Song Xian was not a first-class warrior, he accompanied Lü Bu for many years and was also a brave general who could fight well. The death of Song Xian and Wei And the defeat of Xu Huang made the suspicious Cao Cao even more reluctant to let Xu Chu fight. Although Xu Chu himself is brave and martial, he will not be afraid of Yan Liang, but he is a figure who is good at guessing Cao Cao's thoughts and treating Cao Cao's orders. During the battle of Puyang, Xu Chu was well aware of Cao Cao's intention to defeat Lü Bu by force, and later when the western Liang warhorse was overtime, Xu Chu also knew that Cao Cao wanted his generals to fight hard to enhance the morale of the army, so he went into battle shirtless and fought hard. When he was in Baima Po, he could not feel any of Cao Cao's instructions and intentions at all, and Xu Chu could only stand behind Cao Cao and move randomly.
【Common Opponent】
Although Xu Chu and Yan Liang did not fight each other, they had two common opponents. The first is Zhao Yun, although there is some gap in time between Xu Chu and Zhao Yun in the Battle of Iwakawa Wen Ugly, but in terms of battle results, it is difficult for Wen Ugly and Xu Chu to distinguish between victory and defeat in a short period of time, and Yan Liang, who is equally famous with Wen Ugly, is also comparable, perhaps Yan Liang is more courageous than Wen Ugly, but compared with Xu Chu, it is impossible to distinguish between victory and defeat in a short period of time, that is to say, under normal circumstances, Yan Liang and Xu Chu fight for fifty or sixty rounds without winning or losing.
The second opponent between them was Xu Huang, who fought forty or fifty rounds because of Cao Cao's favor when he surrendered Xu Huang, but Xu Chu also fought fifty rounds when he received Pound, and Xu Chu greatly praised Pound's martial arts. This also shows that Xu Chu's strength is stronger than Xu Huang's, but there is not much gap, and he will have a chance to win at least after twenty or thirty rounds. And Yan Liang defeated Xu Huang in twenty rounds of Baima Po, which may be the reason for the battlefield play, after all, this is Yan Liang's peak period, and yan Liang's strength is not under Xu Chu from the perspective of battle results.
【Comparison of strengths】
Xu Chu was the first general in Cao Cao's army, and his ability to fight with Ma Chao, who had excellent marksmanship, for hundreds of rounds showed that his sword skills were superb and his strength was also at a super-first-class level. From the record of the wen ugly vs Zhao Yun, it can also be seen that Yan Liang's martial arts are also very skilled. In terms of sword martial arts, the two are between Bo Zhong, the contest and play under normal circumstances, and the two cannot distinguish between one or two hundred rounds of fighting. Judging from the comparison between Yan Liang and Guan Yu, Wen Ugly was timidly defeated after three rounds of encountering Guan Yu, perhaps preparing to shoot Guan Yu with a deceitful arrow, or really losing away, compared to Yan Liang, who was caught off guard, seemed to have a little less courage. After Yan Liang's defeat of Xu Huang, it also made the Generals of the Cao Army a little shocked, among which Xu Chu should also have a little impact but not too much.
Yan Liang was already famous in the world as early as when he was courting Dong Zhuo, and when he met Huaxiong, Yuan Shao felt that Yan Liang was not ugly, which at least showed that Yan Liang had a lot of experience on the battlefield, and yan Liang was in his peak state before arriving at BaimaPo, and at this time he was the highest level of general in terms of ability and courage. Xu Chu was not particularly numerous in terms of actual combat, and his peak period was when he was fighting in the west and taking Dongchuan, when Xu Chu had already experienced the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi. At the time of Baima Po, Xu Chu was only a bodyguard general with high martial arts in Cao Cao's army.
It was wise for Xu Chu not to fight before baima po, and his victory could be encouraged by the moment, but once defeated, it would make Cao Jun have a heavier blow to confidence. At this time, Xu Chu, who was slightly inferior in experience and bravery, also lacked a surprisingly successful move in martial arts, and it should not be difficult to face Yan Liangdou for seventy or eighty rounds at this time, but Xu Chu could only rely on the bravery of shirtless fighting, and Yan Liang's bravery at the peak would not be under Xu Chu.
