I wrote an article before, ranking the top ten generals of Shu Han, and added Liao Hua to it, many people are not convinced, and think that Liao Hua has the qualifications to enter the top ten?
It is said that "the five major generals in Shuzhong, Liao Hua is the pioneer", it sounds like a ridiculous sentence, but is Liao Hua really not a general?
Liao Hua's life is also the history of Shu Han, and he can really be called a living fossil in the Three Kingdoms period. Let's start with Liao Hua's appearance.
The first episode of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Taoyuan Three Alliances, and Liao Hua's identity for the first time was also a Yellow Turban thief, that is to say, from the beginning, Liao Hua appeared with a hidden identity.
After the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, Liao Hua and his accomplice Du Yuan became bandits in the Wuthering Mountains and Forests, and it was not a good feeling to occupy the mountains as kings, until they mistakenly captured Liu Bei's wife, and the gears of fate began to turn.
Du Yuan did not agree to release him, but Liao Hua decisively slaughtered the unconscious boy, personally sent his wife to Guan Yu, and wanted to follow Guan Yu. At that time, Guan Erye himself was adrift, so he had to refuse.
When Liu Bei entered Xichuan, Liao Hua ran over non-stop to defect, because he had dealt with him before, so he became Guan Yu's main book. At that time, the Shu Han forces had five tiger generals, and the text had Zhuge Pang to rule the law, and Liao Hua was not so brilliant.
It is commendable that Guan Yu also has a lot of trust in Liao Hua, and in the battle of Xiangfan, Guan Yu made Liao Hua a pioneer and Guan Ping a deputy general.
He witnessed Guan Yu's mighty Huaxia with his own eyes, and also witnessed Guan Yu's defeat in Maicheng. Immediately following the battle of Yiling, it hurt the vitality of Shu Han greatly, and it was in this situation that Liao Hua had room to play.
During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Liao Hua joined the army as prime minister, who has done this position? Ma Jian has done it, Yang Yi has done it, they are all talented people who have been reused by Zhuge Liang, which also reflects Liao Hua's ability.
Unlike Ma Tan's paper talks, Liao Hua was ordered to be the vanguard and almost captured Sima Yi, the commander of the Wei army, although only his golden helmet was captured, but he was recorded as the first meritorious.
When Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, Jiang Wei received the Shu ** team, many Northern Expeditions, Liao Hua also served as a pioneer many times and achieved results, and was promoted to the general of the chariot cavalry for his merits, which has the same status as Zhang Yi, second only to the general and the hussar general, and the same as the three dukes.
The veteran Liao Hua has also become one of the most trusted generals of the general Jiang Wei.
Even after the later lord Liu Chan surrendered, Liao Hua also fought with Jiang Wei in the Sword Pavilion. It wasn't until Jiang Wei killed the three sages in the end, and Shu Han was completely over, that he took away the last bit of spirit of the veteran and died of illness on the way to Luoyang.
Throughout the life of the old general in the romance, he can not only kill the generals (pioneers) before the battle with fewer defeats and more victories, but also make suggestions with his pen (Guan Yu's main book Zhuge Liang joined the army), be loyal, and live from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms to the end of the Three Kingdoms, why can't he be on the list of the top ten generals of Shu Han?
