The Battle of Xiaoyaojin was the highlight moment of Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao led eight hundred men who dared to die and killed the people of Jiangdong. Zhang Liao shouted his name and personally killed dozens of Jiangdong soldiers, including two generals of Dongwu. , go straight to Sun Quan . Sun Quan was so frightened that he ran to the hill and ordered his soldiers to guard him heavily with halberds. The enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered. The troops from Jiangdong heavily besieged the Wei army. Just imagine that with 800 soldiers against 100,000 people and a huge disparity in strength, Zhang Liao was still able to break out of the encirclement and rescue the soldiers behind him. Sun Quan's army was invincible. No one dares to defeat Zhang Liao.
This battle lasted from early morning to noon. Sun Quan returned with a great defeat. Zhang Liao led his army to rest and prepare for war, and his morale was greatly improved. Even , Li Dian, , , Le Jin, and others admire him. Jiangdong's army was defeated, and everyone was frightened. There was even an allusion to "Zhang Liao stopped crying" in Jiangdong. Zhang Liao was also listed as "one of the famous generals of ancient and modern times" because of this battle, and he shared the enshrinement with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhou Yu and others.
Jiangdong has many talents since ancient times, and their writing, calligraphy and painting are the best in the world. Sun Quan relied on the Jiangdong gentry to establish his hegemony, and he stood with Cao Cao , Liu Bei and others in the world. However, in terms of generals in Jiangdong, although Confucian generals emerged in large numbers, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Lu Xun and others were famous all over the world. But in terms of strong generals, they are extremely stretched, and there are very few strong generals who are brave enough to win the three armies. For example, the peak of Jiangdong's martial arts is Taishi Ci, who is skilled in bow and horse and has excellent martial arts. However, in the first battle of Hefei, he fought Zhang Liao for "seventy or eighty rounds" without deciding the outcome. It cannot be compared with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei . So in the battle of Xiaoyaojin, was Sun Quan defeated in terms of strategy or in terms of soldiers?
The answer is obvious, of course for the soldiers. One hundred thousand versus eight hundred, do you still need to think about it? So here comes the question, during the battle of Xiaoyaojin, could Jiangdong count three people to defeat Zhang Liao and Li Dianglejin? Let’s analyze it from the perspective of the original work! Note: Zhang Liao in the official history is too strong, and it is difficult for Jiangdong generals to match him!
The Battle of Xiaoyaojin took place in 215 AD, seven years after the Battle of Chibi. Jiangdong military generals are always headed by Tai Shi Ci, followed by Gan Ning , Ling Tong , Cheng Pu , Zhou Tai and others. Taishi Ci was extremely brave, but could only draw with Zhang Liao, and died in Sun Quan's first attack on Hefei. Therefore, the entry of the generals behind him was directly blocked, that is, the strongest one was at Zhang Liao's level.
Cheng Pu is the leader of the generals in Jiangdong. He has been a regular general of the Sun family since the time of Sun Jian. When he followed Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong, he had a brief confrontation with Taishi Ci in front of the two armies. The two fought for "thirty rounds" without deciding the outcome. However, Taishi Ci called Sun Ce to fight in person, knowing that Cheng Pu was not his opponent, and the two of them were attacked by Zhou Yu, Chen Wu and others in the rear area of Liu Yao, so they stopped fighting. Therefore, Cheng Pu's martial arts skills are at best weak to first-class, or strong to second-class level. The Battle of Xiaoyaojin took place nearly twenty years after Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, so Cheng Pu's martial arts had already passed its peak and was at the end of his life, so the scope was no longer considered.
When Cheng Pu came to the front of the battle, Taishi Ci said: "You are no match for me. You just teach Sun Ce to ride out!" Cheng Pu was furious and drew his spear to attack Taishi Ci. The two horses crossed each other, and when the battle reached thirty, Liu Yao hurriedly called for gold to withdraw his troops. Taishi Ci said: "I am about to capture the thief general, why should I withdraw my army?"
The remaining three generals are Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Zhou Tai, Zhang Liao, Yue Jin and Li Dian.
In the novel, Ling Tong once fought with Le Jin. The two fought for "fifty rounds" in the battle of Hefei with no winner or loser. It can be seen that the two are basically at the same level. As a result, Cao Xiu shot down Ling Tong's mount with a cold arrow, while Gan Ning shot Le Jin in the forehead with an arrow, and both sides retreated with gold. Although some friends believe that Cao Cao ordered Le Jin to launch a cold arrow because Ling Tong had already gained the upper hand, and if he did not secretly help, Le Jin might be defeated. But if you read the original work carefully, you will find that Cao Cao came from afar at this time, and his morale was low when Gan Ning came to "rob Cao's camp" with a hundred cavalry. Therefore, only a quick victory can restore his glory.Therefore, letting Cao Xiu fire cold arrows was the fastest way for Le Jin to win, but Cao Xiu's arrow skills were mediocre and not as good as Gan Ning's.
If they fight fairly, Le Jin and Ling Tong should be matched against each other, and they will encounter good talents. It will be difficult to tell the difference between the two within a hundred rounds.
Who is better, Zhou Tai or Li Dian? Many people will definitely think that Zhou Tai is powerful. After all, Zhou Tai is Sun Quan's bodyguard. In the Battle of Xuancheng and the Battle of Ruxu, he showed his general style and saved Sun Quan many times. However, after reading the original work carefully, I found that Zhou Tai was just superficial, with only thick blood and poor fighting skills. Just like the Battle of Xuancheng, it was just a ragtag group of bandits. Compared with Zhang Liao and others who led the army to attack the enemy camp, they pale into insignificance. In the Battle of Ruxu, Zhou Taiyi was not intercepted by Cao Wei famous generals, and both of them were seriously injured. Compared with Battle of Puyang Dian Wei rescued Cao Cao, Battle of Changbanpo Zhao Yun rescued Adou, It's just a common occurrence.
's single challenge performance was even worse. For example, in the battle of Hefei, Zhou Tai and Han Dang battled Xu Chu, and Xu Chu came back in style after "thirty rounds." During the Battle of Yiling, Han Dang and Zhou Tai were so frightened by Guan Xing and Zhang Bao that they hurriedly retreated into the battle. This shows that Zhou Tai's martial arts skills were only second-rate at best.
Li Dian is a seriously underestimated general. In addition to his prudent behavior, his martial arts is also extremely impressive. During the Battle of Xinye, Li Dian was forcibly ordered by Cao Ren to fight against Zhao Yun. Facing Zhao Yun at his peak, Li Dian made an appointment to fight "Ten Numbers" and then retreated because he was unable to defeat him. Just imagine that during the Battle of the Weishui River, Yu Jin Zhang He and others fought against Ma Chao who was on the same level as Zhao Yun. He retreated in "seven or eight rounds" and "twenty rounds", which is enough to show that Li Dian's martial arts should be between Jin and Zhang He. , not much different from Le Jin, Ling Tong and others.
Therefore, in the confrontation between Zhou Tai and Li Dian, although it is difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time, the winner must be Li Dian.
The last one is Gan Ning and Zhang Liao. This is a good comparison, because during the battle of Xiaoyaojin, Gan Ning, Ling Tong and others were in the Wu army formation.
Gan Ning and Lu Meng led their troops to rescue them, but Le Jin chased them from behind. Li Dian intercepted them and started fighting, and most of the Wu soldiers were killed. More than 300 people led by Ling Tong were all killed. Tong was shot several times and reached the bridge. The bridge had broken and he fled around the river. Sun Quan saw it in the boat and hurriedly ordered Dong Xi to pick him up in a boat and then he could cross back. Lu Meng and Gan Ning both fled Henan with their lives. This killing spree made everyone in the south of the Yangtze River fearful; after hearing Zhang Liao's name, even children did not dare to cry at night.
It can be seen that Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others were defeated by Li Dianyue before Zhang Liao took action, and in the end they all escaped Henan with "death". Ling Tong was also seriously injured and only escaped with his own life. Therefore, if the three generals Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Yue Jin fought against Jiangdong generals, they would be comparable to each other, not to mention a complete victory!
People can't help but miss Sun Ce's instructions to Sun Quan before his death: "If we take the people of Jiangdong to decide between the two formations and compete with the world, you are not as good as me; appoint talents and talents, and let everyone do their best to protect Jiangdong. I am not as good as you. You should remember the difficulty of starting a business for your father and brother, and be good at it!" can be said to be on point, paving the way for the name of "Sun Shiwan" in the future! Cao Cao once praised Sun Quan: " Having children should be like Sun Zhongmou " . He also praised Sun Quan for being able to protect his foundation and being young and promising. He did not reach the level of Sun Ce's "It's hard for a lion to compete with him" ! s level!
