Generally speaking, celebrities in history have two ways of becoming famous. One is to be known because of their great contributions or outstanding talents, and the other is to become the object of ridicule by future generations because they are too useless. Needless to say, the former is well known to us, such as Zhuge Liang, Yue Fei, etc., and there are countless great people like them. As for the latter, there are actually a few people who we can immediately think of when their names are mentioned. Among them The representative figure is Zhao Kuo. Moreover, Zhao Kuo's "wonderful performance" is also tied to a famous idiom - "talking on paper", as if he has verified in his own life what it means to "pull the crotch", and can do nothing but say something, so real In history, was Zhao Kuo really such a person?
First of all, we want to explain something. To some extent, Zhao Kuo was pushed to the shelves. For example, when we play games, we all have the concept of "novice village". After registering a game account, we must stay together in the same place when everyone's level is not high, and then go out after slowly leveling up to a high level. This is actually a relatively normal logic. After all, no one can defeat monsters right away, but Zhao Kuo’s experience is a bit different. The first time he went into battle, he faced ruthless characters like and Bai Qi . You must know that Bai Qi Qi is one of the few super generals in Chinese history, and even experienced veterans like Lian Po are not sure that they can definitely defeat him.
What's more, for a newcomer like Zhao Kuo, asking Zhao Kuo to fight Bai Qi is no different from Calabash Baby saving grandpa. So is it embarrassing for Zhao Kuo to lose to Bai Qi? In fact, it is not a shame. It can only be said that Zhao Kuo is unlucky. A perfect score of 100 points is not considered low, but it is incomparable with a score of 100 points. Zhao Kuo is like this. Suppose Zhao Kuo is not facing Bai Qi, but an ordinary general. He has enough time to learn how to fight and how to use troops. After accumulating a long period of experience, he may be able to achieve quite good results. record, but history did not give Zhao Kuo a chance, and he lost his life the first time. With the national power of Zhao Kuo, he became the object of ridicule by many people. This has something to do with the ability itself. Not big.
Secondly, even though Zhao Kuo was fighting against Bai Qi from the beginning, his results were actually not bad. Historical records record that Zhao Kuo initially blocked Bai Qi's attack for more than a month. Later, it was because Bai Qi sent cavalry to interrupt Zhao's army. The lack of food roads led to the collapse of the army commanded by Zhao Kuo. This kind of thing can actually show that Zhao Kuo's basic commanding ability is absolutely online, but he doesn't know the specific form of the battlefield. This is also a common problem for newcomers in combat. If they are tempered, with Zhao Kuo's talent, I dare not say that he will definitely be able to do so. Winning is free, but the performance will definitely not be as miserable as history. Moreover, Zhao Kuo eventually died in the process of breaking out to find reinforcements and did not surrender as a prisoner. This shows that Zhao Kuo himself has a bottom line and is definitely not the kind of person with poor ability and moral character. To say the least, he was a competent soldier.
To sum up, Zhao Kuo's own level is definitely not as low as many people think. He is largely regarded as an object of ridicule because of his opponents and record. If the days are gone, he will have a A better performance than historically possible without being a laughing stock.
