During the Three Kingdoms period, Lü Bu was generally regarded as the strongest general, and this view is not an exaggeration. In the entire history of the Three Kingdoms, only Zhang Fei was able to fight with Lu Bu in a hundred rounds, and the others could hardly surpass Lu Bu's score of 100 rounds. Lu Bu even retreated in the face of the siege of several famous generals many times, and deserved to become the first military general of the Three Kingdoms.
However, Song Yuanping's "Three Kingdoms Zhipinghua" has a different view, and the laurel crown of the strongest military general is placed on the head of Lao Huang Zhong. Through plain records, Huang Zhong showed unparalleled strength as soon as he appeared. In the fierce battle with Wei Yan, it was difficult to distinguish the winner for two days;Fighting against Zhang Fei, there was no winner or loser in ten rounds;fought fiercely with Zhang Fei for 100 rounds again, and it was equally inseparable;Even when he fought with Guan Yu, he didn't know whether he won or lost. This made Huang Zhong's martial arts superior to Lu Bu.
Under the attack of Wei Yan and Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong turned mighty. Even if he lost his horse without paying attention, Huang Zhong actually confronted Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Wei Yan in the form of foot combat, and was unscathed. Such a performance, even compared with Lu Bu being besieged by three people in Romance, is not inferior. In the ancient era of cold weapons, the difference between foot combat and horse combat was great, and foot combat was more courageous. And Huang Zhong was not only able to deal with the attack of the three generals, but also was not affected in the foot battle, and this strength almost surpassed Lu Bu.
However, the description of Lao Huang Zhong in the Pinghua book may be a little too favoritic. It is a bit far-fetched to portray Huang Zhong, who is in his sixties, as even stronger than Lu Bu. Although Huang Zhong may have been able to fight Lü Bu in his youth, it would be unscientific to say that he was stronger than Lü Bu throughout the Three Kingdoms period.
