Although the history of the Three Kingdoms is short, only 90 years, it is only a drop in the ocean in the long river of Chinese history. However, in this short period of time, many heroic figures were born.
Most people understand the history of the Three Kingdoms through "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but it should be noted that it is a literary work, which is different from real history, and the author may weaken or mythologize certain characters for the needs of the structure of the article.
Now, let's talk about the four famous generals of the Three Kingdoms period who were ignored by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although their individual problems led to the lack of historical records, their abilities can definitely be called heroic figures of the Three Kingdoms period.
Lu Bu's fierce general Gao Shun is proficient in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", although there is less space in **, but his last career is very outstanding. When Cao Cao broke Lu Bu in Xiapi and captured Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others alive, Lu Bu begged for mercy and Zhang Liao surrendered, but Gao Shun held his head high and remained silent, and was finally beheaded by Cao Cao.
Gao Shun's character is extremely loyal and courageous, he sticks to his beliefs and will never surrender. His military prowess was also outstanding, and his "trapped" was one of the world's early pioneers in special forces, creating numerous victories.
If Gao Shun had not followed Lü Bu and had joined Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or Sun Quan, his military career might have been even more brilliant. Although Gao Shun's life was short, his loyalty and bravery, as well as his military talents, made him an important figure in the history of China.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the famous Zhao Zilong is loved by people because of his flawless and courageous image. However, many of the deeds in ** actually originated from Chen Zhi, a character who really exists in "Three Kingdoms".
Chen Zhi's status in Liu Bei's group is second only to Zhao Yun, and he is deeply trusted by Liu Bei, and he walks side by side with Zhao Yun every time he charges. After Liu Bei entered Shu, Chen Zhi even controlled the fate of Bashu, and all the elite troops of the Baiwei Army were under his and Zhao Yun's command.
When Liu Bei avenged Guan Yu and raised troops to attack Wu, Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun led the Baiwei army to successfully rescue Liu Bei. Bai Weijun is the elite of the elite of Shu State, and has saved Liu Bei from danger many times.
After Chen's death, the Bai Wei army was disbanded, leaving the Shu Han regime without its only guardian angel, which eventually led Deng Ai to lead his troops to Chengdu and forced the latter lord Liu Chan to surrender.
Although Chen Zhi's deeds were overlooked, his contribution was no less than that of Zhao Yun. History may have played a joke on Chen Zhi, but he was still a brave, loyal and reliable general.
The first general in Hebei in history is not Zhang He, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other well-known fierce generals, but a little-known commander - Ju Yi. He has deep qualifications, he served as the first general under Han Fu's account, and later followed Yuan Shao and became the general of the town guard.
His military ability should not be underestimated, and the most praised thing is that he once broke Gongsun Zhan, and was even known as the "cavalry nemesis". However, due to his high merits, Ju Yi was eventually killed by Yuan Shao, and if he had not died, perhaps the outcome of the Battle of Guandu would have been different.
Although Zhang He also fought against Ju Yi, the result was Ju Yi's victory. Therefore, Ju Yi is respected as the first general in Hebei and deserves it.
Tian Yu: The Great Wall of the North Tian Yu, a famous general in Hebei, Cao Cao once praised it as the "Great Wall of the North". Tian Yu served as Liu Bei's staff officer in his early years, but left Liu Bei because his mother died and returned home to guard his filial piety, and was later recruited by Cao Cao into the Cao Wei regime.
At first, Cao Cao did not reuse Tian Yu, but after the northern minorities repeatedly invaded the Cao Wei border, Cao Chang discovered Tian Yu's superior military capabilities and recommended him to guard the border.
Since then, Tian Yu has been guarding the northern border for decades, successfully resisting the invasion of ethnic minorities such as Wuhuan and Xiongnu, and was praised as the "Great Wall of the North" by Cao Cao. Tian Yu is not only capable of excellence, but also an honest official, known as a clean official in history.
He once refused to accept the cattle, horses, and ** gifts from the leader of the Xianbei tribe, Suli, and handed over all these things to the state treasury. His integrity and incorruptibility were appreciated by Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming, and he was given five hundred horses of fine silk cloth.
Tian Yu kept only half of it, and the other half was given to Suli in the name of the Wei Taishou, so as to deepen the friendly relations between the Wei and the Xianbei tribes. Although Tian Yu has outstanding performance in military and government affairs, he is honest and upright, does not collude with the powerful, and followed Liu Bei in his early years and has a close relationship with Liu Bei, so he has not been reused in the ** regime, and he only served as a local assassin throughout his life.
However, Tian Yu's loyalty and talent will always be remembered by future generations.
Although these four celebrities have been forgotten in history, their outstanding talents and noble qualities are still worth remembering. Especially Tian Yu of Wei, in that chaotic era, he still insisted on noble personality and temperance, and his honest and thrifty behavior became a beautiful talk at that time, and it is still our best example.
Compared with Tian Yu's officials and the people, honest and thrifty, how many of the current ** dare to claim to be clean officials and good officials?
