Hi!These big guys are amazing!Not only did they show extraordinary tactical talent on the battlefield and create formidable military feats, but they also had a huge impact on the military philosophy of future generations.
Yo!Uncle Sun is very powerful, he wrote the world's first military book "The Art of War", and also created a precedent for military science in China and even East Asia. That time he attacked Yingcheng with 30,000 foot soldiers, which is simply a legend in military history!
Hey!Do you know that Wu Qi was the most powerful general in the Warring States Period!He is not only super good at military affairs, but also super smart in politics, he is simply a genius. His military philosophy has influenced many future generations, and it can be said that it is quite important!
Li Jing was the leading general of the Tang Dynasty, he was not only the author of "Li Weigong's Art of War" and "Tang Taizong Li Jing Asks Right", but also an excellent cavalry strategist. The decisive victory he led indirectly led to the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire, with a major victory over the Turks.
Han Xin, an outstanding general in the early Western Han Dynasty, can be called the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty and one of the outstanding organizers of the ancient art of war (the other is Zhang Liang). To be honest, Han Shin's military prowess was outstanding, however, due to his lack of international influence, the art of war he compiled was not widely inherited, so he could only rank fourth in history. In addition, Han Xin's biggest negative impact is that the "last stand" tactic he created led to many losers in later generations, somewhat similar to the impact of Zhuge Liang's "empty city plan". (Note: The Battle of Qixia and the Battle of Zama of Scipio the Younger against Hannibal took place in the same year, and it can be said that this year was very lively, laying the foundation for the Han Empire in the east and the Roman Empire in the west.) ）
Li Shimin was the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty and is known in the annals of history for his rapid unification of the world, and is known as one of the most prominent monarchs of the Chinese Empire. However, it needs to be taken into account that he has been helped by many excellent players, and coupled with his poor political performance in his later years, his previous record is difficult to complete. Compared with Hanshin, there are still shortcomings.
Yue Fei was a highly successful general, good at winning more with less, and was a life-saving benefactor of the Southern Song Dynasty, at least for the peace talks. Yue Fei can be called an outstanding figure after Han Xin (although the ending is similar, which also shows that it is difficult for good people to stand on the ground). In addition, the Yuejia army led by him was well-organized and created a precedent for later warlord forces.
Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, once called him the most combative emperor and praised him for his miracles in the Battle of Kunyang. However, historians have many doubts about this, such as how Liu Xiu had the authority to make decisions as an ordinary soldier in the presence of the two leaders of the Green Forest Army, and the historical uncertainty of issues such as the source of water during the war. In addition, Liu Xiu was the commander of many victories, but also the mastermind of many failed battles. In addition, he was helped by natural disasters (torrential rains and strong winds) and man-made disasters (it was difficult to tolerate absurdities such as Wang Mang), so he was somewhat lucky.
Cao Cao was the author of the New Book of Mengde, and he had similar talents to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, but his victory in the Battle of Guandu was actually a fluke, like pie falling from the sky. Although he is known as a victorious general, he is also a general who has failed many times (especially in the battles of Chibi and Hanzhong other than the Battle of Guandu, which ended in failure). In contrast, his record is not as good as that of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, so he ranks eighth in the historical evaluation.
Chen Qingzhi, an outstanding general during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. His prestige even surpassed that of Yue Fei, who was known as the "Saint of Soldiers". Led 7,000 elite cavalry, Chen Qingzhi bravely rushed to Luoyang City, defeated 47 cities, and hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty were defeated. Although he did not end well in the end, considering the irresistible force of nature (flood) at that time, he returned to the Liang Dynasty and led 10,000 troops to annihilate the 70,000 army led by Hou Jing, leaving only his elder brother, which deservedly ranked ninth. Xiao Chen, like Yue Fei, carries unfair treatment for his lord, which is a tragedy of merit and an arrangement of fate. The instructor read "The Biography of Chen Qingzhi in the Southern History", and was so excited that he threw the book and his blood boiled.
Chai Rong was the only British lord in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the actual founder of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, he had an ill-fated fate and ended up making wedding dresses for others. He spent his life campaigning in the north and south, and it took only a few years to unify the north. He also defeated the Liao people and recovered two-sixteenths of Yanyun's land. However, it is a pity that he died of illness while planning a large-scale Northern Expedition, and the great cause was eventually usurped by Zhao Kuangyin. And Zhao Kuangyin's performance after usurping the throne is really average, and there is a big gap between it and the performance of Song Taizu and Taizong in the north.
Xiang Yu, an outstanding military general in ancient China, was known as the Hanniba of the East. He and Hanniba share many similarities: they both have experienced bitter hatred, both have experienced last battles, both have shown unparalleled combat effectiveness, both have fallen short, have only tasted defeat in their lives, and even the years of defeat are strikingly similar. The Battle of Qixia was its best example, leading 30,000 tired divisions to rush thousands of miles, and it only took half a day to defeat Liu Bang's army of 600,000. In the Battle of Qixia, Xiang Yu fought with Han Xin's 500,000 troops with 100,000 troops, although the final defeat was not due to insufficient combat strength, but due to strategic mistakes. This also led to him being disparaged as a reckless archetype, on a par with Lü Bu, yet Hanniba is known as the father of Western strategy, on a par with his grandson. It can be said that Xiang Yu has a problem with his strategic mind, although he is not mentally retarded, but he is indeed inferior to ordinary people.
Huo Quzhi was one of the famous cavalry battles in ancient China, and he was also one of the unjust leaders of the Western Roman Empire and one of the midwives of the Principality of Hungary. He, like Li Shimin, is listed as one of the youngest proudest people in the rankings.
Wei Qing was one of the most prominent figures in the ancient Chinese cavalry, one of the most wronged figures in the history of the Western Roman Empire, and one of the most respected midwives in the history of the Principality of Hungary. He came from a humble family and although treated as a slave, his talent and loyalty were unmatched. Although his record is not flawless, his contribution cannot be overlooked. Although he is listed in the ranking after his nephew Huo Quai, his status is also very high in terms of actual combat exploits and historical influence. It can be said that they have made tremendous contributions to maintaining the tranquility of China for hundreds of years and the turbulent situation in Western Europe for thousands of years.
