At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, various forces were entrenched, talents emerged in large numbers, and the world was divided into three. Headed by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, the Wei Kingdom, Wu Kingdom, became the three most powerful countries at that time. They restricted and restricted each other, and each country had its own different heroes.
Among them, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun can be said to be the higher-ranking figures. However, the opinion about which of the two is more powerful has triggered discussions among many friends. Just when everyone was arguing, the former Guan Yu distinguished the two of them in just two sentences. So, what did Guan Yu say? How did he evaluate Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun?
Cavalry General Zhang Fei
Speaking of Zhang Fei, most people may have a fierce, burly and brave image in their minds. In fact, this is indeed the case. Zhang Fei in history was indeed a brave soldier who championed the three armies. Whether in calligraphy, painting or opera, he has always been one of the most colorful.
In his early years, he and Guan Yu joined Liu Bei's camp and helped him attack the Yellow Turban Army. At that time, he and Guan Yu were both known as the "enemy of ten thousand people". Because Guan Yu was much older than him, and he took care of him a lot in daily life, they regarded him as brothers in private.
After Liu Bei took in Zhang Fei and the others, as long as something important happened, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu would be with him. On the surface, the relationship between the three of them is that of master and servant. In fact, it may be closer than everyone thinks. After all, it is a life-and-death friendship. Everyone's safety is tied to a hemp rope, and there is no possibility of having other people's hearts.
plus Zhang Fei's personality is very direct. He has always been forthright, he never likes to beat around the bush when talking, and he is never sloppy in doing things. As long as he is there, no one will not feel fear. Even the famous Cao Cao was once shocked by Zhang Fei's momentum on Dangyang Bridge.
Zhang Fei is famous among the three armies for his bravery, but he also has a fatal weakness, that is, his brain is not very "aura". Of course, this does not mean that he is stupid. A person who can be reused by Liu Bei cannot be stupid. It is just that he does not like to think and often offends people with his words.
The emergence of Zhuge Liang once made him feel dissatisfied with Liu Bei, but who was Liu Bei? How could he not see Zhang Fei's thoughts, so Zhang Fei's complaints were directly dismissed with a few words, allowing him to willingly accept Zhuge Liang's existence and regard him as the "think tank" in the army.
Victorious General Zhao Yun
Zhao Yun, who is known as the Evervictorious General, is a little different from Zhang Fei. He is also called Zhao Zilong. Compared with Zhang Fei's roughness and heroism, he seems to win everyone's favor. According to records, Zhao Yun is eight feet tall and outstandingly handsome. Whether he is wearing military uniform or casual clothes, he can make many women scream.
He followed Liu Bei in marching and fighting for a long time, totaling more than thirty years. However, at first he did not work under Liu Bei, but fell under the command of Gongsun Zan and fought for him everywhere. Liu Bei happened to be serving under Gongsun Zan at that time, so the two became close friends.
Later Gongsun Zan fought with Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei and Zhao Yun were appointed to go to the battlefield to resist the enemy, which also made them have a life-or-death friendship. When Liu Bei defected to Liu Biao, Zhao Yun had become his right-hand man. While recruiting troops and strengthening his team, he also fought hard for him to fight for power.
In the battle of Dangyang Changban, Liu Bei missed a good opportunity and was unable to confront Cao Jun head-on. In order to win his life, he fled with his soldiers in a hurry before his wife and children could be rescued. Fortunately, Zhao Yun was very courageous at that time. Regardless of his own comfort, he desperately rescued Liu Bei's wife and children.
Fortunately, Cao Jun's pursuit was stopped because of Zhang Fei's angry shouting. It can be said that Liu Bei is destined to die. This respite gave Liu Bei a chance to survive. Under the cover of a group of soldiers, Zhao Yun successfully met with Liu Bei and escaped Cao Jun's pursuit, returning to his camp.
Later Liu Bei became emperor, and Zhao Yun still followed him wholeheartedly. Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang and others can be said to be Liu Bei's arms, not only giving him great help, but also constantly encouraging and guiding him. After Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were killed, he once advised Liu Bei not to blindly attack Wu and not to ruin major events because of Sun Quan.
Guan Yu’s evaluation
Because their biggest enemy at that time was Cao Jun, as long as Cao Jun fell, Wei State would not be able to last long. Once Cao Wei loses power, then Wu will naturally have nothing to fear. Although Liu Bei wanted to kill Sun Quan to avenge Zhang Fei, he also knew the reason behind Zhao Yun's words.
Therefore, he finally chose to listen to Zhao Yun's advice and capture Cao Wei first. Zhao Yun was also respected as the "Victorious General" because of his meritorious achievements time and time again, and his popularity was not lost to that of the "Chariot and Cavalry General" Zhang Fei. However, if you want to judge who is more powerful between Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, I'm afraid it will take some effort.
Some people say that Zhao Yun is more powerful because he is not only good at both civil and military skills, but also has a good skin and a compassionate heart. Some people say that Zhang Fei is more powerful. When he roars, the mountains will tremble, and Cao Jun will not dare to leave at will. Some people say that they are both very powerful, and it is really difficult to tell the winner. After all, each has its own strengths.
Just when everyone was arguing, someone sniffed out the answer from Guan Yu's evaluation of the two. Everyone knows that Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are famous generals in the Shu Kingdom. Together with Guan Yu, they are known as the "Three Scholars of Yannan". Guan Yu once compared Zhang Fei to overcoming a million troops and easily taking the head of an enemy leader to get something. This shows that he highly recognized Zhang Fei's combat effectiveness and force value.
Although he highly recognized Zhao Yun, he did not directly praise Zhao Yun's combat effectiveness in words. He regards Zhao Yun as his younger brother, and believes that his abilities are as good as his own, and he can fully bear the reputation of one of the five tiger generals. Having said this, I believe many people have already figured out who is more powerful, Zhang Fei or Zhao Yun, in Guan Yu's opinion.
Guan Yu summarized everyone's doubts in just a few words. On the one hand, it shows that his thinking is very clear. On the other hand, it shows that he has observed Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun very well. If he had not experienced it with his heart, I believe he would not be able to give such an evaluation so easily.
