As the saying goes, "Heroes emerge from troubled times." At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the current situation was turbulent. At this time, a large number of heroes from all walks of life appeared, such as the treacherous hero in troubled times Cao Cao , the corporal Li Xian Liu Bei , the strategist Zhuge Liang , and the resourceful Zhou Yu...
As heroes, we will inevitably be compared with each other. Today we will talk about the three warriors named Zhang in the Three Kingdoms. They are Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Zhang He. Who is the strongest among these three? Cao Cao's evaluation was very objective.
Hate evil as much as hatred Zhang Fei
Zhang Fei is also called Yide. As one of Liu Bei's five tiger generals, his combat effectiveness is undoubtedly strong. Even Lu Bu and Cao Cao would have a headache when they meet him.
Lu Bu was called a "house slave with three surnames" to ridicule him for being unfaithful and unfilial for money and beauty. Zhang Fei called him the insulting title "house slave with three surnames" as soon as they met. The latter was immediately angered. The two fought for hundreds of rounds without a winner, which showed from the side how strong Zhang Fei's force was.
During the Battle of Changbanpo, Liu Bei led a large army to escape, leaving Zhang Fei to lead dozens of people to break up the rear. When Cao Cao led the army to pursue Dangyang Bridge , Zhang Fei shouted: I am Zhang Fei from Yan, who dares to fight to the death with me.
Cao Cao had heard Guan Yu mention Zhang Fei before, saying that it was as easy as picking out a general's head from a million-strong army. Knowing that he could not defeat him, he did not want to fight Zhang Fei, so he led his troops to retreat.
Zhang Liao and Zhang He
Zhang Liao, also known as Wenyuan, was a general under Cao Cao. His most famous battle was the Battle of Hefei . Hefei was the barrier between the Kingdom of Wei and the Kingdom of Wu. At that time, the main force of the Kingdom of Wei was fighting elsewhere. Only more than 7,000 people led by Zhang Liao were guarding Hefei. There were 100,000 people on the side of the Kingdom of Wu, and Sun Quan..
Zhang Liao knew that he could not fight with the numbers, so he led more than 800 people to raid the Wu military camp at night. He first killed several Wu soldiers and generals, and then fought until he was in front of Wu King Sun Quan and asked him to come down to fight.
Sun Quan didn't dare. Later, when he saw that Zhang Liao only led a few hundred people, he hurriedly summoned an army to surround him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao not only led his men to break through the encirclement, but also defeated Sun Quan.
In general, Zhang Liao and the Wu army fought in Hefei three times and won a complete victory. He was known as the " Soochow nemesis".
Zhang He, also known as Junyi, was also a famous general of Cao Wei. He was originally a general under Yuan Shao, but he turned to defect to Cao Cao because of his frustration and being framed.
The Battle of Guandu is a famous battle in the history of our country where a small number defeated a large number. Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops and Cao Cao's 30,000 troops met in Guandu. At this time, one of the leaders of Yuan Shao's troops was General Zhang He.
At first, Zhang He and Cao Jun's general Zhang Liao fought for dozens of rounds and were evenly matched. However, because Yuan Shao listened to Guo Tu's biased words, Zhang He could not attack Cao Jun for a long time. In addition, Cao Cao also burned the food and grass and finally lost the battle.
Guo Tu knew that the defeat was caused by his own strategy, but in order to avoid being punished by Yuan Shao, he attributed the defeat to Zhang He. He said that Zhang He was rude to Yuan Shao and was happy because he could not defeat Cao Cao. After Zhang He found out, he defected to Cao Cao to save his life.
Zhang He, who followed Cao Cao, began to usher in the spring of his life. He repeatedly made extraordinary achievements and was named one of the five good generals. The battle of Jieting is the most exciting military exploit.
Zhuge Liang ordered Ma Di to join the army and stationed at the street pavilion to intercept the army led by Zhang He. Zhang He came to the street pavilion and did not have a head-on conflict with Ma Ji. Instead, he trapped Ma Di and defeated the Shu Han army, winning the battle of Jieting.
Who is the most powerful among the three in terms of force value and overall strength?
There is an old saying: "There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts." It means that there are superior and inferior martial arts. So who is the most powerful among Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao and Zhang He? To say that the most powerful in martial arts is definitely Zhang Fei.
As mentioned above, Guan Yu once told Cao Cao, "My third brother also has the ability to behead an admiral with thousands of troops." Cao Cao quickly took out a small notebook and wrote down this sentence, "If you encounter Zhang Yide in the future, you must not underestimate the enemy."
Many years later, the two sides met in Changbanpo . Looking at the mighty Zhang Fei in front of him and then at the flying dust behind him, Cao Cao remembered Guan Yu's words and then told his subordinates, "We meet today, don't underestimate the enemy."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei's sudden roar of "Who will fight me to the death" frightened Cao Jun's army. One man was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split and died. It happened that there were general Zhang He and others in the army at that time.
In the "Battle of Danqu", Zhang Fei and Zhang He had a record of direct combat. At that time, Zhang Yide was ordered to march into Danqu County , where he led Cao Jun general Zhang He to Wakou Pass . At this time, Zhang He could not move forward or retreat. Those who were beaten by Zhang Fei could only lead a dozen cavalry to escape in a hurry. It can be seen that Zhang Fei's combat effectiveness is superior to Zhang He's.
Although Zhang Liao and Zhang He were generals under Cao Cao, Cao Cao did not show any favoritism in his evaluation. However, in terms of force value, Zhang Fei defeated Zhang He, and Zhang Liao and Zhang He once tied, so Zhang Fei's force is the best.
However, war is not about the bravery of one person. In addition to his martial arts skills, Zhang Liao was also Cao Cao's counselor. When he attacked Wuhuan, he encountered many enemy troops at Bailang Mountain.
At that time, Cao Cao only had a small number of troops around him. The soldiers were very frightened when they saw the large number of enemy troops, and they all hoped to wait for the large troops behind to fight Wuhuan.
But Zhang Liao disagreed. He advised Cao Cao that "we must attack before Wuhuan's army has reacted. Surprise is the best strategy." Fortunately, Cao Cao adopted Zhang Liao's suggestion and won the battle.
After talking about Zhang Liao, let’s take a look at Zhang He. In addition to being good at fighting, he is also very smart. The most typical example is the Battle of Guandu. If Yuan Shao had listened to his advice, perhaps what happened next would not have happened.
Before counselor Guo Tu, Zhang He had suggested to Yuan Shao:
Since ancient times, "before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first." Food and grass play a vital role in the battle. We should go to Wuchao to protect the food and grass first. Moreover, Cao Cao is very cunning. If he decides to raid Wuchao, the place where the army is stationed will definitely be guarded and we will not let us attack easily.
However, Yuan Shao did not adopt it and followed Guo Tu's advice to attack Cao Cao's base camp first, which led to the failure of the Battle of Guandu.
Based on the above, it is not difficult to find that Zhang Fei may be the first among the three in terms of force value, but in terms of strategy, he is a reckless man. Zhang Liao and Zhang He are both masters of strategy, and they both have stories as evidence.
However, compared with Zhang Liao's 800 men who defeated Soochow's 100,000 army, Zhang He's Battle of Jieting seemed a bit inferior. Therefore, in terms of force value, Zhang Fei ranks first, Zhang Liao and Zhang He rank second and third respectively.
But in terms of overall strength, general Zhang Liao is better, while Zhang Fei is slightly inferior to Zhang He. He is the worst among the three. For this, "losing Xuzhou drunk" is the best proof.
