As the saying goes, "Heroes emerge from troubled times." During such a war-torn period like the Three Kingdoms, many famous generals were born. The one we are most familiar with is none other than Guan Yu, the second brother of the Taoyuan Three Brothers. To this day, many people still worship Guan Er Ye devoutly.
In addition to Guan Yu, Wei Yan, who changed hands three times, is also the famous General Zhenyuan. Their force value is like a replica of Guan Yu, which can be said to be indestructible. Of course, it is absolutely impossible to have only generals on the battlefield. After all, having a strategist who is good at discerning people's hearts is the way to go.
Speaking of military advisors during the Three Kingdoms period, everyone may only think of Zhuge Liang. In fact, Pang Tong, who was also known as the "crouching dragon and phoenix chick" together with Zhuge Liang, was the real smart man.
He is not as noble as Zhuge Liang, nor is he as stubborn as Zhuge Liang. As a counselor, he can always assess the situation and make the fastest and best choice. However, no matter how brave Guan Yu was, no matter how brave Wei Yan was, and no matter how smart Pang Tong was, the three of them still died under the swords of the four major parallel import generals of the Three Kingdoms.
So, who are these four parallel import generals? How did they kill the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms? Today let’s talk about the story.
Ma Zhong: The Death of Guan Yu
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were two Ma Zhongs. The first was Ma Zhong, a famous military general in the Shu Han Dynasty. He led his troops to attack Cao Cao many times. Our protagonist today is Ma Zhong, a subordinate of Soochow Pan Zhang. His only successful achievement was to kill Guan Yu, the second master of Guan, and Guan Yu's eldest son Guan Ping.
How did Ma Zhong, a man who spoke softly and had no sense of existence before killing Guan Yu, capture the famous Shu Han general Guan Erye? In fact, everything starts with Ma Zhong's bad luck. After all, this person is so lucky that even , rabbit, and will be delivered to his door.
After the lord Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty entered Sichuan, military advisor Zhuge Liang started the Hanzhong War, and Guan Yu launched the Battle of Xiangfan, and led many soldiers who guarded Jingzhou north to join the battle.
Who would have thought that Guan Yu would fight this battle in a very embarrassing manner. First of all, Wu Kingdom betrayed Liu Bei, and even directly joined forces with Cao Cao to annihilate the Shu Han army. This unprepared alliance instantly shattered Guan Yu's victory.
What made Guan Yu most desperate was that the soldiers he sent to seek reinforcements never returned. Because Liu Bei's adopted son Liu Feng was afraid of being burned, he never assisted Guan Yu. Guan Yu had no choice but to retreat to Maicheng with his many brothers.
He wanted to rely on the strength of Maicheng and wait for Liu Bei's rescue. However, the Yiling Pass from Bashu to Jingzhou was lost at this time, and Guan Yu could only go north to join Liu Feng. Unexpectedly, during the retreat, he encountered Ma Zhong who was ambushing in secret.
At this time, Guan Yu was scarred, hungry and sleepy. There were only a dozen remnant soldiers around him. They were still ambushed in Linju. Ma Zhong captured Guan Yu in minutes. It was precisely because of this battle that Ma Zhong became famous. , became the general of Soochow.
However, this all depends on Ma Zhong's luck. After all, if Ma Zhong encounters Guan Yu who is in good health and leads tens of thousands of troops, he has no choice but to escape, and being able to kill Guan Yu is purely a matter of taking advantage of others' danger.
After this battle, Ma Zhong never had any outstanding achievements. He was completely a "parallel import general" who relied on shit to become famous in the Three Kingdoms.
Ma Dai: The Death of Wei Yan
As for the second parallel import general, Ma Dai. Although Ma Dai himself has a very low force value, he has a famous brother, that is Xiliang General Ma Chao . Compared with Ma Chao's brilliant achievements, Ma Dai is as dim as a star under the moonlight. He even went to his brother to cry because he couldn't beat Zhang Fei .
So, how did such a "soft and weak" little general kill the powerful Wei Yan? The initiator of all this must start with Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of the Shu Han Dynasty. Because Wei Yan recognized his master three times, Zhuge Liang had a very bad impression of him.
Zhuge Liang even told Liu Bei that it would be better to kill Wei Yan directly instead of having such a half-hearted general, which would prevent Wei Yan from leaking the secrets of our army in the future, or becoming a help to other countries.
However, the lord Liu Bei directly vetoed Zhuge Liang's opinion and even treated Wei Yan with courtesy. He not only gave the position of Hanzhong prefect, but also promoted Wei Yan to become the general of Zhenyuan, which made him famous for a while.
Although Wei Yan and Zhuge Liang became colleagues, Zhuge Liang never really let go of Wei Yan, so he planted a secret agent around Wei Yan. He was Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Dai. Wei Yan's death occurred after Zhuge Liang's death. When Zhuge Liang's deadline was approaching, he asked Ma Dai to perform a play with him.
Roughly speaking, a soldier called for formation in front of Wei Yan's gate to anger Wei Yan. Sure enough, Wei Yan, who had always had a bad temper, walked out of the tent to see which ignorant kid was seeking death.
never thought that Ma Dai, who was standing behind Wei Yan, suddenly pulled out his saber and slashed straight at Wei Yan. Wei Yan, who had been looking straight ahead, never thought that his subordinate would actually kill him through his trust.
In addition, Ma Dai has never had a sense of presence, which can make Wei Yan underestimate the enemy even more. So far, the majestic Wei Yan died at the hands of his colleagues. Since killing Wei Yan, Ma Dai also became famous in the army.
However, many people don't know that this all depends on Zhuge Liang's ingenious plan, and Ma Dai is just a pawn in "Zhuge's death". Therefore, the credit for killing Wei Yan is really untenable. As for the name of the general that followed, it was also a joke. At best, he could only be regarded as a "parallel import general."
Zhang Ren: The Death of Pang Tong
Speaking of the Three Kingdoms, most people think of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan. In fact, before Liu Bei became independent, there was another leader representing the Shu Han, that is Liu Zhang. When he ruled Yizhou, the people of Yizhou lived a well-off life, with plenty of food and clothing.
Liu Bei and Liu Zhang were brothers of the same clan, but they had different political views and had no choice but to part ways. When the two brothers separated, Liu Bei invited one of Liu Zhang's generals, Zhang Ren.
Because Liu Bei felt that Zhang Ren was courageous and ambitious, but Zhang Ren clearly rejected Liu Bei and said that he would follow Liu Zhang to the death. Liu Bei, who was rejected, could only leave angrily. As for the killing of Pang Tong, it was a manslaughter. Zhang Ren, who was courageous but had bad eyesight, mistook Pang Tong for Liu Bei.
With a simple mind and well-developed limbs, he immediately ordered the archers to shoot arrows. The dense rain of bows and arrows instantly hit Pang Tong on his horse. This arrow directly led to the death of Pang Tong (originally he wanted to kill Liu Bei).
This battle made Zhang Ren famous, but after Zhang Ren shot Pang Tong, he no longer had any good results. Later, Liu Bei defeated Liu Zhang and took control of Yizhou, and there was no news about Zhang Ren, so he could weld the title of this famous parallel import general on his head.
Yan Yan: The corrupted general
The last parallel general was Yan Yan. Although Yan Yan did not kill any famous generals in the Three Kingdoms period, he was the most thoroughly corrupted parallel general. Why did he say this? Woolen cloth? He and Zhang Fei fell in love and fought each other, and the two also had a fight, which vividly interpreted the four words "old and strong".
After experiencing the incident of being captured alive by Zhang Fei, Yan Yan surrendered directly and joined the Shu Han camp. Although he embodied the saying "Join if you can't beat him", Yan Yan at the time felt as good as Huang Zhong .
Unfortunately, after joining the Shu Han camp, Yan Yan never appeared again, and his ending was hastily explained in the book with only the four words "introduced as a guest". It can be seen that Yan Yan, who became a Shuhan, completely lived a good life in retirement in Liu Bei's camp.
A general who is looking for a master and waiting for retirement will naturally be called a parallel import general.In general, although the above-mentioned parallel import generals became famous for killing very powerful famous generals during the Three Kingdoms period, they were just short-lived after all.
After all, the foundation is not stable, so why talk about building a tall building? The same is true in life! What do you think about this?
