The Battle of Tiger Prison Pass is a classic battle in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it is also one of the models that highlight the heroic image of Liu Guanzhang, and it is also one of the strongest evidences of the Three Kingdoms of Lu Bu.
In the entire Three Kingdoms era, there were very few people who could match Lu Bu, and only the third master, Zhang Fei, performed the best in the fierce battle with Lu Bu in 100 rounds. Other fierce generals like Guan Yu, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei failed to win a battle with Lu Bu in 100 rounds.
However, some fierce generals have never had the opportunity to fight against Lu Bu, such as Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Sun Ce, Wen Yang, etc., all failed to compete with Lu Bu in the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, which is regrettable.
Zhao Yun has no defeat in his life, and some people even rumor that "one Lu and two Zhao", so Zhao Yun has become the most likely candidate to match Lu Bu.
However, in the Battle of Tiger Pass, Zhao Yun did not appear, which is regrettable. However, judging from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" alone, Zhao Yun's actual combat effectiveness is quite close to Lu Bu. In the Battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Yun's force value reached its peak. Faced with the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of Cao soldiers and thousands of Cao generals, Liu Bei's army had been defeated and retreated, and Zhao Yun relied on his personal bravery to rush left and right in the encirclement.
Although Cao Cao ordered that arrows should not be fired, it was still very difficult for one person to break through such a tight encirclement. However, Zhao Yun successfully retreated, and even left unscathed while embracing Xiao Liu Chan. In contrast, Guan Yu was captured in the breakthrough of Maicheng, and Lu Bu failed to break through from Xiapi.
In the battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Yun was fearless in the face of thousands of troops and hundreds of generals, seven in and seven out, killing more than 50 Cao generals, including Chun Yudao, Yan Ming, Zhong brothers, Xia Houen and other famous generals. Zhao Yun was unscathed in the layers of encirclement, successfully captured the Qingyu Sword, and rescued Liu Chan safely, becoming the representative work of his military career.
In the Battle of Hanshui, Zhao Yun made Xu Huang and Zhang He even more frightened. When Huang Zhong was trapped, Zhao Yun arrived in time and successfully rescued Huang Zhong. Xu Huang and Zhang He led the army to pursue, but they did not dare to act rashly because Zhao Yun was alone outside the gate of the village. Xu Huang dared to fight Guan Yu hard and drew with Xu Chu;Zhang He fought with Zhang Fei for dozens of rounds, but it was a draw.
However, these two fierce generals were very jealous of Zhao Yun, highlighting Zhao Yun's bravery. Judging from Zhao Yun's performance, he has the strength to match Lu Bu.
In fact, at the time of the Battle of Tiger Pass, Zhao Yun had not yet taken refuge in Yuan Shao, and was probably hunting in the Hebei area, and did not have the opportunity to participate in the battle against Dong Zhuo.
The princes of all walks of life later returned to their own territory, and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan fought for hegemony in the north, and Zhao Yun had the opportunity to emerge and began to emerge on the battlefield. Then, Zhao Yun took refuge in Liu Bei and created his own legend.
