In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Hua Xiong was undoubtedly the most miserable warrior. His death became the background board for Guan Yu's fame. What is even more infuriating is that the more famous this Guan Yu is, the more he is admired by thousands of people, and the more unlucky this Huaxiong naturally becomes. Because as long as future generations mention "warm wine and cut Huaxiong" every time, then they will be used as a negative teaching material once.
So, for This Hua Xiong, who claimed to be the first person under Lü Bu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, what was his military value? According to the conventional method, in order to explore the value of Huaxiong's force, it is natural to look for relevant battles in which Huaxiong participated. When Dong Zhuo's monopoly of power finally invited Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other eighteen princes to crusade against him, Hua Xiong appeared, and a sentence of "cutting chickens with a cattle knife" suddenly made his lü Bu's image tall.
Well, since the ox knife Lü Bu can't use, let's use the knife Huaxiong. In this way, Hua Xiong led the position of lieutenant of xiao cavalry and led five hundred soldiers to kill Bao Zhong, the younger brother of Bao Xin, the minister of Jibei. Hua Xiong's first battle was very successful, and he killed Bao Zhong in the process of retreating under his horse with one sword. Although the other side was in a panicked retreat, Hua Xiong could kill the enemy general with a knife like Guan Yu, at least not a mediocre general.
After being promoted to governor, Hua xiong's opponent in the second battle was also upgraded, this time facing Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian. Of course, Sun Jian, as the manager, only sent Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao to meet Huaxiong. The two sides formally clashed, first of all, Hua Xiong's deputy general Hu Yi was assassinated by the other side after a few rounds. After seeing his men being beheaded, Hua Xiong did not personally fight the enemy. At Li Su's suggestion, Hua Xiong chose to lead his troops to sneak into Sun Jian's camp at night.
After successfully sneaking into Sun Jian's camp, the generals of both sides started the mode of chaotic fighting. After Hua Xiong saw Sun Jian, he naturally chased after his brother with him. At the same time, Sun Jian's loyal general Zu Mao voluntarily wore Sun Jian's red turban in order to protect the lord, and then led Hua Xiong to the other side. In the woods, Zu Mao and Hua Xiong met, and Hua Xiong roared angrily into the sky like Zhang Fei, and then took advantage of the moment when Zu Mao was frightened, and then he took the knife in his hand and fell to cut the other party under the horse.
After winning two consecutive victories, Hua Xiong broke Sun Jian's army. Therefore, Yuan Shao and the other Eighteenth Route princes discussed a plan against Huaxiong. Immediately afterward, Yuan Shu sent his right-hand man, Yu Shi, to meet Huaxiong, who was killed within three rounds. Then, it was Han Fu's so-called general Pan Feng, who had great expectations for Pan Feng, who volunteered to volunteer, and the Eighteenth Route Princes, but as a result, they still could not stop huaxiong who killed the gods. Especially when he knew that Pan Feng had been killed, all the Eighteenth Road princes were "stunned."
Finally, it was Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei who stepped onto the stage of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, of course, this stage was Guan Yu's, the wine was not cold, and Hua Xiong was already on the ground. However, combined with the above Huaxiong's battle record, it can be found that Huaxiong faced many unknown generals all with a quick knife and killed, and he could kill Sun Jian and flee into the wilderness, and his strength value was at least at the middle and upper level during the Three Kingdoms period. Especially in the process of one-on-one head-to-head, Hua Xiong only lost once, and the others won all, which was an impressive achievement that wei Yan and other generals were difficult to achieve.
In addition, it has to be mentioned that Hua Xiong's strength in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms should not be too much worse than Guan Yu' strength, and Guan Yu at that time did not experience more battlefield training, and the value of force did not reach the peak. The reason why Hua Xiong can be stabbed with a knife is mainly that Hua Xiong is defenseless, and it is estimated that he is still wondering where this Guan Yu came from.
