Zhang Liao (169 222), the character Wenyuan, was a native of Yanmen Mayi (now Shuozhou, Shanxi). A famous general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty. Under the leadership of Ding Yuan, He Jin, Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu, he fulfilled his duties. After Lü Bu was defeated, Zhang Liao belonged to Cao Cao. Since then, he has been on a campaign with Cao Cao and has made great achievements. He personally persuaded Changfeng to surrender, attacked Yuan's and moved to Hebei, led the vanguard to kill Wuhuan Shan Yu Yudun in the White Wolf Mountain, and Zhiping the rebellion of the new army in Jingzhou, and defeated Chen Lan and Mei Cheng.
First of all, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu was extremely brave in force, but as the lord Lu Bu was short-sighted and indecisive, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao and others gave Lu Bu many times The advice was not adopted, and he missed many times to defeat Cao Cao's fighters.
Secondly, Zhang Liao is not the person Lu Bu trusts the most. Lu Bu's most powerful military force will be Gao Shun, who commands the most elite troops trapped in the camp, Gao Shun is basically an independent leader with Gao Shun as the main leader in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the order of appearance is the first, such as: "Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Hou Cheng patrolled the sea and did not return." Gao Shun led Zhang Liao to attack Guan Gongzhai ,......Both the Guan and Zhang armies were defeated. "Stay Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to guard Xiaopei. There are many such examples, and it is not difficult to see that the structure of Lu Bu's army: Lu Bu is the main commander, and Chen Gong, Gao Shun, and then Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, etc. are the first level, and are called the eight strong generals. Moreover, Gao Shun led the troops well and made outstanding achievements, Xiahoudun and Liu Bei were all defeated by Gao Shun, so it was not easy for Zhang Liao to come out.
Again, Zhang Liao and Lu Bu are not the same kind of people, they may not be really loyal to Lu Bu at that time, so everyone may have some objections, Zhang Liao was the first subordinate of Ding Yuan, and Lu Bu was at the same level rather than a subordinate relationship, when Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and surrendered to Dong Zhuo, Zhang Liao was recruiting troops in the field, and Dong Zhuo was forced to surrender when he came back. After surrendering to Dong Zhuo, he was not subordinate to Lu Bu, after Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, Zhang Liao was taken into the account by Lu Bu, and after Lu Bu was defeated by Li Dao and others, Zhang Liao fled east with Lu Bu, so Zhang Liao and Lu Bu were nakedly betrayed because of profit and righteousness, it was more like the situation forced to do it!
Finally, the strength of Cao Cao's camp is more suitable for Zhang Liao to display his talents, Cao Cao is much stronger than Lu Bu in terms of talent quality and military strength, Cao Wei's five good generals, namely the former general Zhang Liao, the right general Le Jin, the left general Yu Ban, the general Zhang He and the later general Xu Huang. Among them, only Le Jin was the general of Cao Cao's army, and the other four were all generals, and they were also unknown before Cao Cao's surrender, and the general's personal bravery could not be separated from the support of Cao Wei's group strength.
When Zhang Liao was under Lu Bu's tent, he was actually in a chicken-like position, and it was difficult to play a role. Lu Buqi, who "earned" the resumes of Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo and others, naturally suffers from serious suspicions, and his dependence on his cronies is conceivable, so he understands Zhang Liao's talent, and he may not be able to reuse it.
