Guan Yu beheaded Huaxiong,Why do the big masters stand up?
When Huaxiong was invincible on the battlefield, Guan Yunchang stepped forward and killed Huaxiong bravely, saving face for the princes from all walks of life and winning everyone's applause. But the fact is that at the scene where Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong, there were still four masters with extraordinary skills, each of whom had the ability to defeat Hua Xiong, but chose to stand by and watch.
So who are these four masters? Why didn't they help?
Faced with the dissatisfaction of the princes of the world and the agitation of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo decided to send Lu Bu to fight in the front. However, one of Dong Zhuo's fierce generals, Hua Xiong, took the initiative to ask for battle, and Dong Zhuo was very happy, so he appointed Hua Xiong as the captain of the Xiao cavalry, commanding 50,000 soldiers and horses to meet the princes.
In this battle, Bao Zhong, the younger brother of Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Zu Mao, the general of Sun Jianai, Yu She, the general of Yuan Shu, and Pan Feng, the general of Han Fu, were all beheaded by Hua Xiong, and all the princes were frightened by Hua Xiong's bravery and did not dare to fight again.
Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, even said such a thing, which was shocking: "It's a pity that my generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou have not arrived!" If you have to be alone here, why be afraid of Huaxiong! However, later facts proved that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were indeed capable of defeating Hua Xiong.
But at the beginning of the expedition, why didn't Yuan Shao bring his two bravest generals? This is not in line with common sense in warfare. More importantly, in the confrontation with Sun Jian not long after, Yan Liang and Wen Chou reappeared.
At that time, Dong Zhuo was defeated and retreated, and Sun Jian took the lead in Luoyang and successfully discovered the jade seal of the country. Hearing that the jade seal was obtained by Sun Jian, Yuan Shao naturally wanted to ask for it, but Sun Jian refused to admit it, so the two sides were tense and almost became angry, and Yuan Shao's subordinates, who were preparing to fire Sun Jian, were Yan Liang and Wen Chou!
Although Hua Xiong performed very well in this battle, he was ultimately defeated by Yan Liang and Wen Chou. This proves once again that true bravery does not depend on the strength of one person alone, but on the collaboration of a team and the use of strategy.
In the alliance of the princes who fought against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao decided to preserve his strength and not let Yan Liangwen Chou fight, but deliberately let them be here. His aim was to provoke the other princes to go to war and consume their own strength.
However, Guan Yu took the initiative to ask for battle at a critical moment, breaking Yuan Shao's plan. Yuan Shu was very unhappy about this, because he originally wanted to use Guan Yu and the others to weaken the strength of the other princes, but Guan Yu's appearance disrupted his plans.
After Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong and made great contributions, Yuan Shu not only did not praise him, but directly turned his face and wanted to drive Liu Guanzhang and others out. All this stemmed from the appearance of Guan Yu, which ruined the Yuan brothers' plan to weaken the princes.
Yuan Shao lamented that if Yan Liangwen was ugly, he could help him defeat Huaxiong, which really weakened the strength of the princes. Before the princes could react, Guan Yu took the initiative to fight and sabotage the plan of the Yuan brothers.
This article believes that Guan Yu's beheading of Huaxiong is not an accidental event, and there are at least four masters on the scene who can do it: Zhang Fei, whose martial arts can fight with Lu Bu for dozens of rounds in the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass and the Battle of Xiaopeicheng, and his strength far exceeds Guan Yu; Lu Bu is one of the few fierce generals who can fight with Lu Bu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms; Zhao Yun, although he did not fight against Huaxiong, he was brave and fearless, and he won the three armies; Ma Chao, although he did not fight against Hua Xiong, he was heroic with one enemy and one hundred.
Zhang Fei hated the princes for looking down on their brothers, so he did not take the initiative to fight.
Xiahou Dun, an underestimated general in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Many people think that he is just an ordinary top general, but this is not the case. His retreat was not due to defeat, but to being ambushed on three sides.
To really look at the gap between Xiahoudun and Lu Bu, you need to see their second encounter. In the battle of Puyang, he suddenly attacked, directly stopped Lu Bu, and only retreated until it rained in the evening, which was shocking.
His strength is not inferior to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, if he makes a move, he will definitely be able to kill Hua Xiong. However, as the first fierce general under Cao Cao, he can't fight at will, because Cao Cao's strength is not strong, and he also wants to preserve his strength.
1.Zhang He, as a fierce general under Han Fu, is not inferior to Huaxiong in strength. He is afraid of death, and his combat principle is to fight if he can win, and withdraw if he cannot win. Although he was defeated in both the Battle of Qishan and the Battle of Tongguan, in a desperate situation, his combat power would explode, such as in the Battle of Danqu Mountain, where he fought Zhang Fei for fifty rounds without a win.
His force was enough to kill Hua Xiong, but because of his low profile and Han Fu's will, he had been standing by and watching. 2.Although Ji Ling is considered to be a parallel trade general, he once fought with Guan Yu for 30 rounds without a win, and Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong in just one round.
Ji Ling's first few moves were very fierce, and many people were defeated by him, but he was able to compete with Guan Yu, which shows that his strength is not bad. However, because Yuan Shu intended to preserve his strength and weaken his colleagues, as the first fierce general under Yuan Shu, Ji Ling could not fight, so he could only stand by and watch.
When Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong, there were four masters on the scene, namely Zhang Fei, Xiahoudun, Zhang He, and Ji Ling. In addition, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Ma Chao, Dian Wei, and Pang De may also be present, but everyone at that time was not united, and they each had concerns and chose to stand by.
