During the Three Kingdoms period, many outstanding generals emerged, such as the ranking on the Langya list, Lu Bu is undoubtedly one of the strongest, and the five tiger generals of Shu and the five good generals of Wei are also high-profile existences. The focus here is on the famous generals of the Wei State, who twice defeated Eastern Wu with less, especially with outwitting a Jiangdong general.
In 208 AD, after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao suffered a crushing defeat and retreated to Xuchang. He left Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin to guard Hexi, and Cao Jun remained unmoved. The Sun-Liu coalition army prepared to attack Heqi, but here they encountered Zhang Liao, a famous general of the Wei state, and began a memorable battle. At first, the two sides went back and forth, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate. However, Zhang Liao skillfully used stratagem to win more with less and win the victory.
In the first meeting of the Heqi War, Tai Shici and Zhang Liao fought fiercely for 80 rounds, and the two sides were evenly matched. However, Lejin's sneak attack caused the Wu army to be defeated, and Tai Shici also died from an arrow. Zhang Liao's heroic performance is admirable, but Tai Shici's untimely death is also suffocating.
In the second battle of Hexi, Zhang Liao once again defended and once again won the victory with a surprising winning strategy. He skillfully ambushed in Xiaoyaojin, lured the enemy to tear down the bridge, and cut off the retreat of the Wu army. Zhang Liao's superb tactics put Sun Quan in a desperate situation, but Sun Quan was lucky to escape.
In these two battles of Hehuai, Zhang Liao successfully won more with less with a brave attitude, not only defeated Sun Quan, but also killed two Jiangdong fierce generals. Although Tai Shici's strength was not inferior to the Five Tiger Generals, he was unfortunately defeated under this famous general of the Wei State. Zhang Liao's prestige frightened the children of Xiaoyaojin, which shows his deterrent power on the battlefield. Zhang Liao, every time he faced Sun Quan, he behaved so heroically, which was amazing.
