Lonely Red Wine During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, Lü Bu was a formidable general, comparable to first-rate warlords such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
Although he seems to be capricious, brave and unscheming, Lu Bu is not as mediocre as one might think. He is a true hero, a role model who has come from the grassroots. Judging from his background, Lu Bu was born in a poor family and was a child of an ordinary border army family. In that era when noble families were respected, a young man from a poor family like Lu Bu had almost no chance to stand out.
The reason why Lu Bu was able to rise from the bottom and become the hero of one side is not easy, looking at the history of the Three Kingdoms, there are very few characters like him, and only Liu Bei can compare with him. From the perspective of identity, Lu Bu was the hero who killed Dong Zhuo, and was officially appointed by the Han Dynasty as General Fenwu, Yibi Sansi, and Wenhou of the Fake Festival, and was the leader of the Han Dynasty at that time, and his status far exceeded that of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the overlords of the mountain.
Before Cao Cao supported Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he was just a captain of a cavalry;Liu Bei is a fugitive on the imperial court list, and he once absconded for whipping the superintendent. From the perspective of talent, Lu Bu is both good at literature and martial arts, once served as the chief bookkeeper under Ding Yuan, is a civil official, and is also a skilled general in the army, especially in cavalry command. Cao Cao once said: "He commands the cavalry, I command the infantry, and the world is invincible."
In terms of force, it is a must, known as the first in the armed forces of the Three Kingdoms, invincible alone, brave and abnormal, in Cao Cao's words, Lu Bu is not comparable to one person. In terms of strength, Lu Bu has strong soldiers and horses, Chen Gong is a strategist, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are cronies, as well as a series of right-hand men such as Zang Ba and Hou Cheng. Lu Bu led hundreds of brothers in the 358th Regiment, and the Black Mountain thieves who were difficult to solve were always troubled by Yuan Shao, causing them to retreat one after another.
In his heyday, Lü Bu had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and his strength was strong, surpassing Cao Cao and Liu Bei. However, the reason for Lü Bu's bad reputation was mainly due to his capricious behavior, even killing two adoptive fathers. In fact, this also reflects Lu Bu's inner dissatisfaction with being subservient to others and his desire to become a hegemon.
