Famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, who is the strongest? Look at who Zhang Fei is most afraid of.
During the Three Kingdoms period, famous generals were like clouds, who was the real "king"? This issue has always been public and reasonable, and mother-in-law said that mother-in-law is reasonable. Even if there is confirmation of the official history, it will be questioned, just like Guan Yu, whether it is "Three Kingdoms", "Book of the Later Han" or "Book of Jin", he has praised him, but he was still hit in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Therefore, instead of dwelling on whether the official history or the ranking of famous generals is reasonable, it is better to change the angle and analyze it with Zhang Fei's eyes. So why choose Zhang Fei? There are three reasons for this.
New copywriting 1: In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhang Fei is known as the most powerful general with his brave and invincible performance, and his power is immeasurable, becoming a touchstone to measure the strength of other fierce generals.
New copy 2: Zhang Fei was only loyal to Liu Bei all his life, and compared with other fierce generals, his loyalty was unmatched. Even though Dian Wei and Xu Chu and others had great achievements, they had at least followed two lords, and Zhang Fei always stayed by Liu Bei's side, and his loyalty was admirable.
New copywriting 3: Zhang Fei is a simple general, and his strength does not need to be questioned. Some people once questioned that Guan Yu and Ji Ling were tied, but they were easily defeated by Zhang Fei, but this does not mean that Zhang Fei is better than Guan Yu, but because Guan Yu followed Liu Bei to crusade against Yuan Shu at that time, while Zhang Fei went all out, and their strength has its own merits.
During Liu Bei's crusade against Yuan Shu, Cao Cao used the holy decree of Emperor Xian of Han to induce Liu Bei to engage in a war of attrition with Yuan Shu, so that Cao Cao could "improve his strength" behind his back.
Therefore, in the battle between Guan Yu and Ji Ling, Cao Cao's side was just for an exhibition match and would not really kill Ji Ling. If Ji Ling is killed, will Liu Bei's army continue to advance and fight a decisive battle with the angry Yuan Shu?
The answer is no, a tie is the best option, and both sides have it on both sides. However, Zhang Fei did not have such a "scheming", even if Liu Bei told him not to release the water.
Therefore, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", as long as Zhang Fei fights, it means a real duel, and there is no phenomenon such as returning favors and fake performances.
Second, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu deeply felt that each other's existence was a challenge. Lu Bu firmly believes in his strength, like a king, but in the face of Zhang Fei, the "ring-eyed thief", he feels helpless, even if he wants to kill him, he can't do it.
Similarly, although Zhang Fei often called Lu Bu a "slave with three surnames" and hated him to the core, in front of Lu Bu, his shouts and attacks were always in vain, and Lu Bu was still full of confidence.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. Look at Zhang Fei, in the face of the mighty Lu Bu, he can brake with quiet, not impatient. Not only did he have the courage to face Lu Bu, but he also knew how to defeat him strategically.
In the shout of "300 rounds of the big battle", he showed extraordinary resourcefulness and courage, which made people amazed. This perfect combination of strategy and tactics made Zhang Fei more calm and confident when facing Lu Bu.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the limit of the famous general's heads-up may be "three hundred rounds", and Zhang Fei and Lu Bu's heads-up has just reached this limit. From Zhang Fei's point of view, his evaluation of Lu Bu is "spelling Lu Bu"!
Now we can conclude that Lu Bu is indeed better than Zhang Fei. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhang Fei would only say "Great War Three Lilies" when he was alone with Lu Bu, and never said such a thing to others, including Ma Chao later.
Zhao Yun surrendered to Cao Cao! Although Liu Bei didn't believe it, Zhang Fei firmly believed that after all, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers used all their family assets plus a younger sister to join Liu Bei's group.
Therefore, Zhang Fei angrily reprimanded Zhao Yun, and was reprimanded by Liu Bei.
Zhang Fei's recognition of Zhao Yun is extremely high, which can be clearly felt from his words. Although he once said in anger that "one shot stabbed Zhao Yun to death", he himself did not believe this sentence.
It's like the family often saying "no matter what, I'll kill you", it's just a way to express anger, not really going to do it. Before Changbanpo, Zhang Fei thought that his martial arts were above Zhao Yun, but after Changbanpo, his attitude changed significantly.
The evidence is Zhao Yun's performance in the Battle of Guiyang, which makes Zhang Fei's recognition of Zhao Yun even higher. Therefore, although Zhang Fei said in anger that he would "stab Zhao Yun to death with one shot", it does not mean that he really wants to do this, he is just expressing his dissatisfaction and anger.
After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang began to fight for territory. After they succeeded in capturing Lingling (in which Zhang Feisheng captured Xing Daorong), Zhuge Liang asked who would capture Guiyang.
Zhao Yun was chosen, but Zhang Fei insisted on going, even at the expense of using means. Why did Zhang Fei snatch credit so strongly? The reason is that he has the psychology of comparison, and realizes that Zhao Yun is powerful, and he doesn't want to lose in the real competition, so he seeks an advantage in the internal competition.
This shows that Zhao Yun has put pressure on Zhang Fei.
The relationship between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is very simple, Zhang Fei once said: "You turned your back on me and Cao Cao, and now you are coming to frame me again!" I'm willing to compete with you! This sentence is not a cruel word, but because of the familiarity between the two, the relationship between them is half a catty, and Guan Yu also praised Zhang Fei in Cao Ying.
5. The battle between Zhang Fei and Ma Chao is impressive, and I have analyzed it in detail before, so I will not repeat it. However, Zhang Fei's attitude towards Ma Chao has always been superior, for example, he said to Zhuge Liang: "I once resisted Cao Cao's million-strong army alone, are you still afraid of such a person as Ma Chao?" ”
Before the battle, he also said defiantly: "Do you know Yanren Zhang Yide?" However, the final fact is that Ma Chao lost because he used the hidden weapon Meteor Hammer, and Zhang Fei returned an arrow in front of Ma Chao.
It's just that one uses a hidden weapon and the other shoots with an arrow, and the means are different. Liu Bei appeared in time and said to Ma Chao: "I treat people with benevolence and righteousness, and I don't use tricks. Ma Mengqi, you collect your troops and rest, I won't take advantage of the situation to catch you. ”
Liu Bei's words are endlessly evocative.
Zhang Fei has different attitudes towards different fierce generals, and he is most in awe of Lu Bu, followed by Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and finally Ma Chao. This is because Lu Bu was the object of his early low-profile fight, Guan Yu was the figure who made him feel pressured after reacquaintance, and Zhao Yun was behind him, and Ma Chao made him look down on him a little.
