How can Wu Jiang Gan Ning be so good that Sun Quan compares him with Zhang Liao who is "Megatron Jiangdong"?

"Meng De has Zhang Liao, only Gan Xing hegemony, they are all rivals" , this passage is the personal praise of Sun Quan, the supreme leader of Dongwu after Ganning and Ningxia robbed Cao Ying. Seen in "Three Kingdoms·Ganning Biography". So can Ganning really compare with Zhang Liao? In order to reflect the strength, courage and wisdom of the two men, in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" the author Luo Guanzhong wrote a perfect review to the two, respectively, "Zhang Liaowei shocks Xiaoyaojin" and "Ganning Hundred Horses Tribute Weiying". Of course, the two stories do not come from the same bibliography, they are different in terms of time. Looking at the momentum of these two episodes, it seems a bit equal, but the results achieved in them are quite different. Let's analyze it carefully below.

First of all, Zhang Liao did not have "Megatron Xiaoyaojin" at that time. It was not the peak period of his military career. Zhang Liao was only after the 800 warriors Megatron Xiaoyaojin. As a result, the Jiangdong generals were discouraged when he heard about Zhang, and Jiangdong children did not dare to cry at night. Only then can it be said that Zhang Liao's military career was at the peak of his military career. Since then, no one in Jiangdong dared to face Zhang Liao, the Hefei border guarded by him, the Dongwu extinct did not dare to invade, even if Zhang Liao was ill, Sun Quan did not dare to take lightly, and often said to the generals: "Although Zhang Liao is sick, Don't take it, be careful!" Therefore, whether Gan Ning can match Zhang Liao, do not over-consider what Sun Quan said before. Second, we should analyze Gan Ning's military performance one by one.

Although Zhang Liaowei shocked Jiangdong, this is not enough to prove that Ganning's ability is not as good as Zhang Liao. Regarding personal force, Gan Ning is not inferior to Zhang Liao, and the two are also half-hearted in heads-up. They meet each other, which completely corresponds to Sun Quan's phrase "fight against each other." Now let's compare Ganning and Zhang Liao from three aspects: the martial arts of single-handed fighting, the level of leading soldiers in battle, and the mind of handling matters.

First of all, martial arts, Gan Ning is actually a pity, in fact, in the Soochow camp, Gan Ning is the real No. 1 fighter, regardless of record or kill rate. Much better than Tai Shi Ci. In addition to the Battle of Hefei, Ganning has the following brilliant achievements. In the battle of Xiakoushui, Ling Cao was killed by an arrow; in the battle of Moukou, Deng Long was hacked to death by flying onto the enemy ship; Jingzhou East Gate ambushed Huang Zu and shot him under the horse with one arrow; the battle of Sanjiangkou , Shot Cai Yi with one arrow; the battle of Chibi, beheaded Cai Zhong, Ma Yan, and Zhang Kai; the battle of Wancheng, the first to climb the city with an iron chain and the rain of arrows, then Zhu Guang was hacked to death with an iron chain ;Outside the Yiling city, he fought with Cao Hong for more than twenty times, and Cao Hong defeated him; in the battle of Hefei, he fought against Lejin, and Lejin could not be defeated; at the battle of Xiaoting, Samok led a surprise attack Wu Jun, Gan Ning fought against the illness, was shot in the head and escaped, and died under a big tree in Fuchikou.

In summary, in Ganning's fighting career, all the fights were won except for the arrow from Samah in the last battle. Gan Ning killed or severely injured eight enemy generals, and his combat efficiency was shocking. Compared with Tai Shici, he had never killed any enemy general with a name in his life, far inferior to Ganning.

Let’s take a look at Zhang Liao’s record. In addition to Hefei's "Megatron Xiaoyaojin", there was also the Battle of Puyang, a battle with Xiahou Dun. There was no specific result, and it could be regarded as a win or lose; the battle of Yanjin Crossing, together with Xu Huang, was the first place in Wen Chou. The arrow hit Helmet, and the second arrow shot down the mount; the battle of Guandu, and Zhang Yun for forty or fifty rounds, regardless of victory or defeat; Wuchao robs the grain, Zhang Liao assaults Jiang Qi, Jiang Qi is caught off guard and beheaded by Zhang Liao In the northward march of Jizhou, Zhang Liao and Yuan Shang confronted, and the war did not triad, Yuan Shang could not stand the enemy, and lost the battle; with the army to the north, Zhang Liao and Juhu confronted, the war did not triad, the Juhu was defeated, and the horse was defeated. Zhang Liao shot down the horse with one arrow; the battle of Wuhuan in the north, the rebellion happened to encounter Yu Dun, Zhang Liao courageously beheaded Yu Dun; the battle of Chibi, in the chaos, Zhang Liao shot Huang Gai into the water with one arrow; Gourd In the siege battle, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Xu Yu besieged Zhang Fei and covered Cao Cao’s retreat. Zhang Fei was beaten and run away, "each with his wounds." In the battle of Hefei, Zhang Liao and Taishici fought for 70 or 80 rounds, noPoints win or lose.

It can be seen that Zhang Liao participated in the battle, winning and losing, beheading three enemy generals, seriously wounding one, and there were 4 draws: Xiahou Dun, Zhang Yun, Tai Shi Ci, Ling Tong. Zhang Liao is inferior to Gan Ning in terms of single-handed fighting record, and Gan Ning's combat skills are very comprehensive, no matter how proficient in horse warfare, foot combat, fortification, and water warfare, he is also good at using all kinds of weapons, like knives and doubles. Halberds and chains, especially good at archery, are among the three generals who shot and wounded the enemy the most. Therefore, in terms of martial arts, Ganning is slightly better than Zhang Liao.

The above is a two-player single challenge record, let's take a look at the level of the leading soldiers. There is no controversy about this point. Zhang Liao’s overall quality is very high, he is courageous and strategic, has a strong level of analysis of the battlefield situation, is adaptable, calm and decisive, and is also good at grasping fleeting opportunities. In general, Zhang Liao has a unique side. His ability is a very rare handsome talent. Gan Ning had been a gangster before, was despised, and killed the noble general Ling Cao of Soochow, who was the father of Ling Tong because of his bad background. This offended the noble clique of Soochow. After defecting to Soochow, he was repeatedly squeezed out by everyone, and few people supported him. Therefore, his military exploits were buried and he was not treated fairly.

Although the performances of the battles Ganning participated in were very exciting, but the soldiers were only in the thousands, so Ganning has always been regarded as a strong future for charging. Used, facing the various dangers of the sword rain on the battlefield, but there is no chance to become a major general in the army. Therefore, comparing the two leaders' level, the gap is still quite large, and Zhang Liao is far better than Ganning.

Finally, Zhang Liao is much better than Gan Ning on the mind. Zhang Liao was also a surrender general. Zhang Liao played quite well under Cao Cao. Because of the many opportunities for promotion, he was more able to use his military talents. Even with a sting like Li Dian, Zhang Liao was still able to subdue him and think of him. It can be seen that its political acumen is high. However, Gan Ning's heroic spirit did not have a good way to deal with the officialdom of the Soochow. He was wronged and endured all his life, unable to make an appearance, and unable to display his great talents. Compared with Zhang Liao, there is indeed a world of difference.

To sum up, the two famous generals of Ganning and Zhang Liao can be said to have "the ruler is short, the inch is long", but in terms of comprehensive ability, Zhang Liao is far Stronger than Ganning.
