In Chinese history, the Five Tiger Generals are known as the most outstanding generals under Liu Bei's account during the Three Kingdoms period, and they are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong. Under the leadership of Liu Bei, these five generals made great achievements for the Shu State through a series of wars and strategies. However, if one person must be eliminated from it and Wei Yan will be put on the throne, then who will be the most likely to be eliminated?Below we will take this question through an in-depth understanding and comparison of the five tiger generals.
1. Guan Yu. Guan Yu, whose name is long, was later named the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, known as the "Martial Saint", and was one of the most respected and admired generals of the Shu Kingdom. Because of his bravery, good fighting, and courage, he was known as the "hero of Nagasaka Slope". Guan Yu's position in the history of Shu is self-evident, and he took loyal and courageous actions against Liu Bei, establishing a solid foundation for Shu. Therefore, if you want to choose one of the five tiger generals to be eliminated, Guan Yu is the most unlikely choice.
Second, Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei, known as "Ten Thousand Enemies", is one of the five tiger generals of Shu State. Zhang Fei has a rough personality and a high-pitched voice, and his roar of "turning over the river and turning the sea" makes the enemy frightened. Zhang Fei was brave and unyielding, and his achievements were noted, the most famous of which was his performance in the Battle of Nagasakapo. Although Zhang Fei was sometimes short-tempered, his fighting prowess and bravery made him an indispensable member of Liu Bei's army. Therefore, eliminating Zhang Fei is also an almost impossible option.
3. Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun, known as the "Dragon of Changshan", is one of the five tiger generals. Zhao Yun was young and handsome, brave and fearless, and once performed well in the Battle of Chibi. He made meritorious contributions to breaking the enemy under the command of General Huang Zhong, and defeated Cao's army in the battle of Dingjun Mountain, and was named "General Zhenyuan". Zhao Yun's superb martial arts and brave fighting were an important part of Liu Bei's foothold in Sichuan and Shu. Therefore, eliminating Zhao Yun is also an unlikely option.
Fourth, Ma Chao. Ma Chao, whose name is Meng Qi, is one of the five tiger generals of Shu State, he was born in Xiliang and is known as the "leader" of the Xiliang Ma family. Ma Chao showed extraordinary military talent when he was young, and he was determined to serve the country and the people, and was not afraid of hardships and dangers. Ma Chao was active and well-commanded in the troops, and defeated Cao's army in battles many times. His bravery and resourcefulness made great achievements for the Shu State. Therefore, the elimination of Ma Chao is also unlikely to be an option.
According to the military exploits and character characteristics of the Five Tiger Generals, judging from the relationship between the characters and historical war deeds, if one person must be eliminated to let Wei Yan take the position, then Huang Zhong will be the most likely to be eliminated. Although Huang Zhong also had some military exploits under Liu Bei's account, relatively speaking, his status in Liu Bei's army was relatively low. Compared with the other four generals, Huang Zhong is slightly less well-known and important in history. In addition, Huang Zhong is a little older, and his physical fitness may not be as good as that of several other generals, which may also be one of the reasons for his elimination.
While Huang Zhong may be the most likely general to be eliminated, it will not be easy to get Wei Yan to replace him. Although Huang Zhong is older, he is experienced and independent, and he has also shown extraordinary abilities on the battlefield. Although Wei Yan has a certain military talent, he has a rebellious personality and is good at taking advantage of opportunities, which may cause civil strife. In addition, since the five tiger generals have all earned their subordinate positions by virtue of their own abilities, the elimination of any one of them may cause dissatisfaction and unease among the other generals.
Although among the five tiger generals, he chose to eliminate one person and let Wei Yan take the position, Huang Zhong was the most likely choice. But this decision is not only likely to cause dissatisfaction among other generals, but may also lead to internal strife and unrest in the military. Therefore, such a decision did not happen in history, and the five tiger generals all played an important role, made great achievements for the Shu State, and became indelible heroes in history.
