In fact, there is no "Five Tiger Generals" in the official history, and the so-called Liu Bei's "Five Tiger Generals" is a fiction of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, Chen Shou's "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" lists Guan Zhang, Ma and Huang Zhao as a biography, let's call these five people the "Five Tiger Generals". So, what is the final outcome of Liu Bei's descendants of the "Five Tiger Generals"?
Guan Yu had two sons, the eldest son, Guan Ping, whose name was Tanzhi, was killed by Eastern Wu along with Guan Yu in 220 AD.
The second son, Guan Xing, is an country, and inherits Guan Yu's knighthood. Guan Xing has been smart since he was a child, and he has been highly valued by Zhuge Liang, and in his 20s, he served as an official position in the middle of the service and the middle prison army. However, Guan Xing died at a young age.
After Guan Xing's death, his son Guan Tong was knighted and married Liu Chan's daughter. Guan Tong had no son, and after his death, the knighthood was inherited by his younger brother (Guan Xingshuzi) Guan Yi.
In 263 AD, the Shu Kingdom was destroyed by the Wei army, and Pang Hui, the son of Pang De, who had been killed by Guan Yu in the Battle of Fancheng, took advantage of the chaos to kill all the old and young of the Guan family.
Zhang Fei also has two sons, the eldest son Zhang Bao and the second son Zhang Shao.
Speaking of Zhang Bao, it may be very disappointing to everyone. Zhang Bao in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is brave and fierce, strong in martial arts, and follows Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition to make many achievements, and finally fell off his horse and died while chasing the enemy.
In "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", the description of Zhang Bao is only five words: the eldest son, Bao, died early. In other words, Zhang Bao died very early, and he did not follow Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition at all, let alone establish any military exploits.
Although Zhang Bao did not leave a resounding reputation in history, Zhang Bao's son Zhang Zun was very promising, an official to Shangshu, and later followed Zhuge Zhan to fight against Deng Ai in Mianzhu and died heroically.
Zhang Fei's knighthood was inherited by his second son Zhang Shao, who was an official and a servant. Although Zhang Shao did a great job, the evening festival was not very good, which insulted Zhang Fei's reputation for being strong and brave.
According to the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of the Later Lord", when Deng Ai's soldiers came to the city of Chengdu, Zhang Shao, Guanglu Doctor Qian Zhou and others were ordered by Liu Chan to go out of the city with a seal ribbon to ask Deng Ai to surrender. After that, Zhang Shao followed Liu Chan to Luoyang and was made a marquis.
Ma Chao's experience is the most bumpy and tragic among the five tiger generals. He was born in a famous family, and when he was young, he rebelled against Cao Cao, causing his father, brothers and other more than 200 members of the family to be killed by Cao Cao and almost wiped out.
Ma Chao later defected to Zhang Lu, but was not tolerated, and finally defected to Liu Bei, was named General Zuo, and was also made a marquis.
According to the records of the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", Ma Chao had a son and a daughter, the son was named Ma Cheng, who inherited Ma Chao's title, and the daughter married Liu Bei's son and Liu Chan's half-brother Liu Li, the king of Anping.
However, in the annotation of "Three Kingdoms", it is said that according to the "Dictionary", Ma Chao also has a son named Ma Qiu. When Ma Chao defected to Liu Bei from Hanzhong, he left the concubine and his son Ma Qiu with the concubine at Zhang Lu's place, and was later killed by Zhang Lu himself.
Huang Zhong had only one son, named Huang Xu. The record of Huang Zhong's son in "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" is very simple: "Zixu, no sooner, no queen." Huang Xu died very early, and he didn't leave a son and a half daughter, so after Huang Zhong died, it was equivalent to a dead end.
Zhao Yun had two sons, the eldest son, Zhao Tong, inherited Zhao Yun's title, and became a general with troops.
Zhao Yun's second son is named Zhao Guang, and he is the official to the goalkeeper. In 263 A.D., when Cao Wei's three-way army attacked Shu, Zhao Guang fought fiercely with the general Jiang Wei and the Wei soldiers, and Jiang Wei's troops were defeated and retreated to defend the Sword Pavilion. Zhao Guang is worthy of being Zhao Yun's son, just like his father rode alone to save the young master on the Changbanpo back then, rushed into the enemy formation, fought bravely to kill the enemy, and finally died on the battlefield and died heroically.
