Look at history squarely
Studying through the past and the present
During the Three Kingdoms period, the composition of Cao Wei's generals was relatively special, and there were many people who could fight well among the clansmen, and the generals with foreign surnames were even more famous for their military exploits, which can really be described as "fierce generals like clouds"!
Among the generals with foreign surnames, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Zhang He, and Xu Huang are the most brave, and Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" will pass on these five people, and after narrating the life and deeds of the generals, he commented: "Taizu Jianzi martial arts, and the good generals of the time, the five sons are the first." Later generations collectively referred to them as "Five Sons of Liangjiang" or "Five Sons of Wei".
Zhang Liao (169-222), a native of Yanmen (now Shuozhou, Shanxi). was originally a descendant of Nie Yi (the initiator of Ma Yi's scheme), and his family changed his surname to Zhang in order to avoid resentment.
Zhang Liao was a county official in Yanmen when he was young, and in the fifth year of Zhongping (188), he was called by Ding Ding, the assassin of the state. After entering Beijing, he was successively subordinate to He Jin, Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu, and was the captain of the cavalry.
After the defeat of Lü Bu, Zhang Liao led the people to surrender to Cao Cao, and served as the general of Zhonglang and the marquis of Guannei.
Zhang Liao's early lords were all defeated, and after returning to Cao Cao, they began to shine!He was able to become famous all over the world and leave his name in history mainly because of the following two special honors!
One: White Wolf Mountain broke Wuhuan
Wuhuan, also known as Karasuma, was one of the nomadic peoples of northern China in ancient China. Wuhuan moved south twice during the Han Dynasty and gradually grew stronger, often invading and disturbing the Han border.
In the fourth year of Jian'an (199), after Yuan Shao occupied Youzhou, he made the leader of the Wuhuan people Shan Yu. Yuan Shao also married Wu Huan, marrying the daughter of the clan to the leader of Wu Huan as his wife, in order to consolidate the alliance between the two sides. After Yuan Shao's death, Wuhuan continued to support the Yuan family, attacked the border several times, and robbed 100,000 households of the people of Youzhou.
In the twelfth year of Jian'an (207), Cao Cao decided to go on an expedition to Wuhuan to get rid of the troubles for the unification of the north. In August, Cao Cao led the vanguard to advance and suddenly encountered most of the Wuhuan cavalry at White Wolf Mountain. When the main force of Cao's army had not arrived, "left and right" had the meaning of retreating. Duzhang Liaoli overrode public opinion, and tried his best to persuade Cao Cao to take advantage of the disarray of Wuhuan and immediately carry out a decisive battle.
Cao Cao admired Zhang Liao's majestic fighting spirit very much, and "conferred Liao's command on his own", and granted Zhang Liao the right to command the battle of White Wolf Mountain.
Zhang Liao took advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to quickly launch an attack, and led Zhang He, Cao Chun and others to storm the enemy army, and beheaded Wuhuan Shan Yu, who was known for his martial arts. Wuhuan was defeated, and more than 200,000 Hu and Han surrendered. Wuhuan has declined since then, and has gradually been assimilated by the Han, Xianbei and other ethnic groups!
The Battle of White Wolf Mountain is a classic battle of winning more with less!It was also an important battle for the Han people to defeat Hulu!After this battle, Cao Cao basically unified the north!
Xu Yanbo, a scholar of Zhaowenguan University in the Tang Dynasty, compared Zhang Liao's efforts to break Wuhuan with Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and once wrote the poem "Ascending the Great Wall Fu" and praised: "Wei Qing opened, Zhang Liao opened the soil, the school captain prostituted Yao, and the general was arrested." ”
Two: Xiaoyaojin Weizhen Dongwu
In August of the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Sun Quan of Eastern Wu led an army of 100,000 troops into Hefei. Zhang Liao decided to take the initiative to attack before the Eastern Wu completed the siege, "to break its prosperity and calm the hearts of the people", and then he could defend Hefei.
Zhang Liao recruited 800 elite soldiers, and attacked the Eastern Wu army village at dawn. Liao clad the armor and held firm, climbed into battle, and went straight to Sun Quan's main account. From morning to noon, he repeatedly rushed to kill, and he didn't dare to "break the crowd away".
The morale of Soochow was greatly demoralized, and after more than ten years of delay, the army could only be withdrawn. Zhang Liao accurately predicted the route of the Eastern Wu retreat and divided his troops to pursue, and the Wu army was defeated. Zhang Liao chased after him, and Xiaoyaojin almost captured Sun 100,000 alive.
After this battle, Zhang Liaowei's name can stop Jiangdong children crying, which is an unprecedented feat.
Cao Cao attached great importance to Zhang Liao's outstanding military exploits in the Battle of Hefei, praised him, and worshiped Zhang Liao as the general of the expedition to the east!
List of high-quality authors In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (220), Cao Cao died, Cao Pi ascended the throne of Wei, and promoted Zhang Liao to a former general!
In the same year, Cao Pi was proclaimed emperor, Zhang Liao entered the Marquis of Jinyang, increased the number of 1,000 households, and a total of 2,600 households!
In the third year of the early Huang dynasty (222), Zhang Liao died of illness in Jiangdu (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu), and was called Ganghou.
In the first four years (243), Zhang Liao was enshrined in the Taizu Temple.
Zhang Liao's military performance has been respected by all generations!In the third year of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty (782), Yan Zhenqing suggested to Tang Dezong that sixty-four famous generals of ancient times should be posthumously awarded to enter the martial temple to enjoy the foundation, including "Zhang Liao, Marquis of Jinyang, General of Wei Zhengdong". There were only nine people who won this honor in the Three Kingdoms era when the stars were shining, and Zhang Liao was the only one selected among the early generals of Cao Wei, who was like a cloud!
Zhang Liao Puyang chased Cao Cao, Dangyang chased Liu Bei, Hefei chased Sun Quan, if it weren't for bad luck, the world would have been decided!
