During the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei, who was supposed to dominate the rest of the world, joined forces with Wu and Shu, which eventually led to the formation of the Three Kingdoms. Although Cao Wei finally unified the three kingdoms, this is the general trend

During the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei , which was supposed to dominate the group, finally formed a situation of three kingdoms due to the alliance of Wu and Shu.

Although Cao Wei finally unified the Three Kingdoms, this is the general trend and does not mean that there are no famous generals between Wu and Shu. Today we are going to talk about Zhang Fei .

Whether it is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or the official history of the Three Kingdoms, the description of Zhang Fei is always positive. Although he is tall and thick, there is a catchphrase to describe him: "Zhang Fei wears a needle - there is thinness in the thickness." ", Dianwei, " and ", Xu Zhu, ", both of which are representatives of the Five Big Three, do not have such a good reputation. In that era, fierce generals walked around everywhere and pulled a lot of them. Why is it that only Zhang Fei can be remembered by us?

Let us first use Dian Wei and Xu Zhu as examples.

In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", these three are all tiger generals, and no one can stop them from fighting. But how to compare the combat effectiveness of the three of them, we must first understand a question, what should be used to compare?

The first thing I want to explain is that the most famous general in the Three Kingdoms period was none other than Lu Bu . Anyone who survived after fighting Lu Bu eventually became a famous general, but there was no one who could kill Lu Bu. Therefore, when we make subsequent comparisons of combat power, we will use Lu Bu as a reference many times.

And when generals compete in martial arts, they must not be plotted by evil people. Zhao Yun Changbanpo has seven entrances and seven exits. Even Cao Cao ordered not to shoot arrows. Guan Yu warmed wine and beheaded Hua Xiong, but he also killed him off his horse with one sword. Huang Zhong, who had fought with Guan Yu for 180 rounds, had his horse stumble, so Guan Yu did not kill him. Instead, he asked him to go back and change horses and fight again.

But everyone knows that Huang Zhong is an expert in archery. After changing horses, Huang Zhong pretended to be defeated during the battle. Guan Yu took advantage of the victory and pursued him. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong suddenly drew his bow and shot two arrows in a row, but failed to hit the target. Guan Yu laughed at Huang Zhong, but when he wanted to continue the pursuit, he was hit by a third arrow, which hit his helmet tassel. Guan Yu then realized that Huang Zhong's archery skills were so superb. If he had struck first, I wouldn't even be able to get close.

Let's look back at Pound , who has always been despised by people because he shot cold arrows at Guan Yu.

Looking at that period of history from a modern perspective, Zhuge Liang has been recited by future generations and is known as a famous figure through the ages. Guan Yu is respectfully called Guan Er Ye by future generations. He is a model of love and justice, and Zhao Yun is a perfect courtier. Look at Zhang Fei, who is the same brother as Liu Bei , is he really mediocre?

Dian Wei, as a fierce general, his main task is to serve as Cao Cao's security. As a bodyguard, he may not be able to make plans and fight one against a hundred, because these all require strategies. It is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, except for a fierce man like Lu Bu.

Therefore, when it comes to fighting alone, it can be said that Dian Wei does not take anyone else seriously except Lu Bu.

Dian Wei can be called a master of weapons. The weapons that are clearly recorded are: "knife, halberd, and spear."

According to records, when Dian Wei first appeared on the scene, he went to kill Li Yong and avenge the Liu family. . After killing Li Yong, his family members clamored to avenge Li Yong and sent hundreds of people to chase Dian Wei. However, they only dared to follow Dian Wei from a distance and did not dare to come forward. It wasn't until a few risk-takers appeared. Under their leadership, a group of people rushed forward. However, even though he was surrounded by hundreds of people, Dian Wei still fought with ease. In the end, these pursuers were defeated and Dian Wei ran away. .

In the Battle of Wancheng , Dian Wei repelled Lu Bu's several attacks by himself. Look at the weapons in Dian Wei's hands. A pair of halberds weighed eighty kilograms. This kind of power was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Xu Zhu became Cao Cao's bodyguard after Dian Wei's death. Xu Zhu was different from Dian Wei in that he hardly led troops in battles. He was a pure bodyguard and only protected Cao Cao. Cao Cao called him " Tiger Fool" ". Translated at the current speed, he can do nothing but fight.

But the simpler a person is, the simpler he thinks about things, and the more realistic his conclusions are.

During the battle of Guandu , many of Cao Cao's officials colluded with Yuan Shao. Cao Cao was such a smart person, of course he knew, but he couldn't get angry, otherwise no one would be able to use him. At this time, Xu Zhu's IQ It manifests itself.

At that time, Cao Cao had a servant named Xu Ta. He wanted to rebel and assassinate Cao Cao, but Xu Zhu had been sitting on the sidelines and it was difficult to make a move. Just when Xu Zhu was leaving due to something, Xu Zhu was about to take action, but Xu Zhu suddenly came back. Later, Xu Zhu's motives were revealed at a glance. According to records, when Xu Zhu left, he saw the thief and the minister acting sneakily, so he guessed that his motives were impure, so he returned again and again.

Putting this matter aside, let's continue reading. According to official historical records, Xu Zhu never had a head-on confrontation with Ma Chao . At that time, Cao Cao took Xu Zhu to negotiate with Ma Chao, but Ma Chao actually wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate Cao Cao. Zhu saw Ma Chao's intention and his eyes widened. Seeing Xu Ru's ferocity, Ma Chao was so frightened that he stopped trying to assassinate Cao Cao.

Zhang Fei, he is not like these two bodyguards, he is a real warrior!

Xu Zhu and Dian Wei can only protect others after all, but cannot command the army to fight, and a military general should be able to be both civil and military.

In the Battle of Changbanpo, Zhang Fei blocked the water and broke the bridge. Why did the soldiers of Cao Wei's army not dare to step forward?

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Biao passed away. His son Liu Cong had no ambitions and took the initiative to surrender to Cao Cao. This move undoubtedly pushed Liu Bei into a dangerous place. At this time, Liu Bei did not have much strength and could not fight against Cao Cao.

When facing the five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun, Liu Bei chose to lead his army to evacuate south. But because Liu Bei was a kind man, many people were willing to follow Liu Bei to evacuate. This resulted in tens of thousands of people dragging their families with them to form a mighty team.

With more people, the marching route will be slower. Liu Bei did not expect that just after marching to Changbanpo, Cao Chun's troops came out and killed him. At this time, let alone the common people, he could not even take care of his own family, wife and children. .

However, Cao Chun had no use for the family members, so he continued to lead his troops to pursue Liu Bei. Seeing that Liu Bei was about to be overtaken, he happened to cross a river. Liu Bei immediately ordered Zhang Fei to intercept the enemy army here and left twenty cavalry with him.

After crossing the river, Zhang Fei led his men to destroy the bridge, and then stood at the other end of the bridge.

This is because the geographical location chosen by Zhang Fei is superior. Zhang Fei was standing on the bridge at that time. It can be said that one man is blocking the way and no one can break it. Except for the archers, no one can break through this place. However, the leading troops are all cavalry. At this time, Zhang Fei is standing on this bridge, and it will be difficult for anyone to come.

On the other hand, Cao Wei's generals should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue and kill the fleeing Shu army soldiers, but suddenly a big and thick man with big eyes suddenly appeared here, and he was still shouting: "Get Zhang Fei here." "If you want to cross the bridge, you can come here and try!" With this sentence, those who say Zhang Fei is a reckless man can stop now and think about it differently, if there is a group of people chasing you behind you! You may die at any time. At this time, can you still think of using the opportunity of escaping to publicize your reputation?

If you were a general of Cao Wei and saw a man so arrogant on the bridge, who wouldn't be afraid of him? But once you become fearful, you look left and right, and you find that other generals are also looking left and right. You look at each other, and no one dares to step forward.

This was the first time that Zhang Fei's reputation reached the ears of General Cao Wei. Zhang Fei was not like Guan Yu, who killed Hua Xiong with one move of warming wine, and received applause from Bo. If you want to stand out and become famous, you must have excellent real skills. Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei to fight on the battlefield all his life. Liu Bei did not have any troops at that time. Every time he fought in front of the battle, Zhang Fei needed to be in charge. It can be said that, Every time he goes to the battlefield, it may be his last battle.

Liu Bei's ability to become bigger and stronger back then was inseparable from Zhang Fei's bravery and proficiency in fighting. It was not easy to survive in such a difficult environment.

In the 18th year of Jian'an, Liu Zhang broke with Liu Bei. Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others went to Yizhou to support Liu Bei. When they arrived in Jiangzhou, the governor of Bajun Yan Yan sent troops to stop him. At this time, Zhang Fei Fei's banner included the wise general Zhuge Liang, the fierce general Zhao Yun, and himself. Not only did Yan Yan fail to stop Zhang Fei, but he was captured.

Zhang Fei was rescuing people after all, and was delayed by Yan Yan. He pulled Yan Yan into the account and asked him angrily: "Are you looking down on us? Even if Cao Cao sees us, we will withdraw our troops." , not to mention you, a little prefect of Ba County, wasted my time in vain."

Yan Yan also had a bad temper, and started to argue: "I am here to defend my city, and you want me to surrender for no reason. It's unreasonable. Now I'm in your hands. You can kill me or cut me into pieces as you please."

Zhang Fei didn't know if he was so angry that he felt that Yan Yan was a person who valued love and justice. So he put away his bad temper and regarded Yan Yan as his guest.

The reason why we mention this moment is to show Zhang Fei's understanding of "righteousness".

Anyone would get angry and act recklessly when being contradicted, but Zhang Fei, who looked like a violent man, could calm down and release Yan Yan. He saw Yan Yan's loyalty, so he sent Yan Yan to Yan Feng is a guest. Throughout history, few people have such a big heart.

After Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, he appointed Zhang Fei as the Brazil prefect, but he was surrounded by the army of the famous general Zhang He.

Twenty years after Jian'an, Zhang He wanted to capture Hanzhong , so he marched inland, but what Zhang He would face was Zhang Fei's elite troops.

Neither party wanted to take risks, and the stalemate lasted for nearly two months. Zhang Fei didn't want to waste time here, so he asked Zhang He to change the location to fight, and Zhang He agreed without thinking.

Everyone knows the result. The troops led by Zhang He were attacked by Zhang Fei on the mountain path and suffered heavy losses.

Who would have thought that a tall and powerful man could come up with such a plan?

So Zhang Fei is not only fierce, but also his wisdom. It is not his appearance, but his reputation.
