In the bright starry sky of the 24 generals of the Three Kingdoms, there are 20 generals like bright stars, illuminating the future for their respective lords. However, there are four generals among them, and their light not only illuminates the path of others, but also illuminates a path for themselves, because they were once the masters of one side and worked hard for themselves. So, what position do these four lords occupy among the 24 generals, and who are they?
Lu Bu, the mighty general, ranks first among the 24 generals. When he was just starting out, he only served as the chief bookkeeper under the original account of the Bingzhou Assassin Stint, but his bravery and talent attracted Dong Zhuo's attention. Under Dong Zhuo's **, Lu Bu betrayed Ding Yuan and became Dong Zhuo's godson instead. His heroic performance in front of the Tiger Prison shocked the world, and only Liu Guan and Zhang Sanying could barely compete with it. However, although Lu Bu was brave, he had courage and no strategy, and finally died in Baimen Tower.
Ma Chao, ranked 5th, he was Ma Teng's eldest son, and after Ma Teng entered Beijing as an official, he took over Ma Teng's army and became a prince. Needless to say, Ma Chao's courage and combat effectiveness are known as "Golden Lu Bu, Silver Ma Chao" together with Lu Bu, and its strong combat power can be seen. However, Ma Chao's fate was not smooth, he suffered repeated setbacks in many battles, and finally surrendered to Liu Bei and became a member of the general of Shu Han.
Sun Ce, ranked 9th, is the second son of Sun Jian, and although most of his inheritance was inherited from his father, he used his talent and courage to carry it forward. Sun Ce began to fight the world independently at the age of seventeen, and with his resourcefulness and bravery, he defeated many strong enemies in a row, laying a solid foundation for the Sun family in Jiangdong. His nickname "Little Overlord" is enough to show his bravery and domineering.
Zhang Xiu, ranked 20th, was the nephew of Dong Zhuo's subordinate general Zhang Ji, who took over his army after Zhang Ji's death and became a prince. Although Zhang Xiu is weaker than the other three lords, his martial arts are not inferior. In folk storytelling, Zhang Xiu is known as the "Gun King of the North", and his marksmanship is exquisite enough to be comparable to Zhao Yun and other first-class generals. His performance in the battle of Wancheng was even more amazing, picking Dian Wei with a gun, and fighting Zhao Yun for 300 rounds, showing his strong combat effectiveness.
These four lords are ranked 1st, 5th, 9th, and 20th among the 24 generals, and they are all famous generals, each with their own brilliant records and legendary stories. They not only worked hard for themselves, but also left countless heroic deeds worthy of praise for future generations.
