Xiang Yu's defeat was not success or failure, not character, and no one said he was not a hero. Similarly, Guan Yu was captured and beheaded despite his carelessness in Jingzhou. No one said that Guan Yu was not a hero.
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many military commanders. For example, Cao Cao had five outstanding generals: Yu Jin, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Le Jin and Huang Xu, as well as Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and Xia He. Sun Quan had four vassals: Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Monroe, Lu Xun and twelve tiger ministers: Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang.
In addition, there are Yuan Shao's Athens Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Xiliang Athens Ma Chao, Bing Athens Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo's Xu Rong, Li Jue, Guo Si and others, plus Liu Bei's generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Zhao Yun, which are almost the most famous military commanders in the Three Kingdoms period.
But in this large number of military commanders, no one can reward Guan Yu for his merits.
In the era of cold weapons, the battle between the two armies is definitely not the one-on-one fight of military commanders you see on TV. First, win or lose, and then lead the troops to fight. Instead, they do their best. As long as they can win the war, they can use any strategy, tactics and means, such as fighting in Han Xin, winning by strategy, and fighting in Xiang Yu, winning by bravery.
But Han Xin and Xiang Yu suffered again, and there was no record of any tribe killing the enemy. Killing the other commander-in-chief in the disorderly army is not counted, but Guan Yu has, and Guan Yu's killing of Yan Liang is a rare record in the history of cold weapon war that a general killed the other commander-in-chief.
The real history of the coach, is generally not involved in direct combat on the battlefield, although there are but not many, the coach's more role is to command operations, such as Han Xin, rather than chopping people on the battlefield, and really wait until the coach chops people on the battlefield, which is basically the last moment to decide the outcome of life and death.
Guan Yu killed Yan Liang, a bitter captain. The record of Guan Yu slaying Yan Liang in the reflection is as follows:
Feather saw the cover of a good man, stabbed him in the crowd on horseback, beheaded him, and let go of what the generals could not do, thus solving the problem of Bai Mawei.
That is to say: Guan Yu saw Yan Liang's hood from a distance, rode forward to assassinate Yan Liang among thousands of troops, cut off Yan Liang's head and returned. None of the generals in Yuan Shao's army dared to stop him, so he lifted the siege of the white horse.
How Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang is unknown. According to historical records, Guan Yu seems to have rushed to Yan Liang alone at an extremely fast speed, killing Yan Liang in front of all Yuan Shao generals and soldiers, while Yuan's generals dared not get in the way and were intimidated by Guan Yu's imposing manner.
Guan Yu's record in the Three Kingdoms is unparalleled. For example, Zhang Liao beheaded Wu Huan Khan, and Huang Zhong beheaded Xia were all killed by the rebels, and it was in the case that one side occupied all the advantages. But Guan Yu killed Yan Liang not by the disorderly army, but by himself, because Guan Yu also cut off Yan Liang's head, which was a great military achievement. Because of this meritorious service, Guan Yu was named Hou Ting of Hanshou.
In addition to attacking Yan Liang, Guan Yu has many achievements. World War I is not as good as World War I, and World War I is not as fierce as World War I, such as the battle of Guan Yu's absolute northern line in the battle of Nanjun.
After Battle of Red Cliffs, there was a battle for Nanjun. Zhou Yu led the allied forces to attack Jiangling City, the fortified city of Coss, which is Jingzhou City in Hubei Province today. In this battle, Guan Yu's task was to stop Cao Wei's reinforcements from Xiangyang in the north of Jiangling. Details of the war about Guan Yu's road to the North are hard to find, but clues can be found in the minutes of the meeting between Guan Yu and other Cao Wei generals.
When Guan Yu was on the Northern Line, he didn't have many troops, and he fought with many famous Cao Wei generals, including Man Chong, Huang Xu, Li Tong, Le Jin, Man Chong and Coss. The result of the battle was unknown, but Guan Yu did not fail and successfully stopped Cao Wei's reinforcements. Finally, Zhou Yu captured Jiangling City. Li Tong died on the way to meet Coss. Whether it is related to Guan Yu is unknown.
Then the battle of Xiangfan, which made Guan Yu famous in the world, shook more than half of Cao Wei's land with 50 thousand troops from three counties in Jingzhou, and let Cao Cao, who had been lean all his life, take the initiative to move the capital, just to avoid Guan Yu's sharpness. Guan Yu won a great honor as a military commander in this battle? Megatron Huaxia? .
About the battle of Xiangfan, The History of the Three Kingdoms describes it like this:
/kloc-at the age of 0/8, Yu led a crowd to attack Coss and Fan. Tsao Gong was sent to the forbidden help benevolence. Autumn, heavy rain, the Han River flooded, and the Seventh Army was not supervised by the Forbidden City. No feathers, feathers cut general pounds. Liang, Yong and Lu Hun were thieves or received the title of feather from afar, so they supported the army and supported the party, and feather shocked China.
In the same year, Guan Yu led an army to attack Fancheng Coss. Cao Cao sent troops to help Coss. That autumn, the heavy rain continued, and the Han River flooded, and all the seven armies led by Yu Jin were submerged. Yujin surrendered to Guan Yu, who killed Pound, the general of Wei State. Some powerful armed forces in Liang, Yong and Lu Hun were under the command of Guan Yu and became local armed forces under the command of Guan Yu. Guan Yu shocked the Central Plains.
Guan Yu defeated Cao Wei's garrison in the central region with three counties in Jingzhou, and defeated the seventh army led by Yu Jin, a general of Cao Wei who came to support Xiangfan, and also defeated Pound's army. You know, Yu Jin is the only general in Cao Wei's camp who has a false holiday, and he is highly valued by Cao Cao, and the seventh army led by Yu Jin is the elite central army of Cao Wei.
There is also Pound, who is also a fierce leader of the Cao Wei camp. Pound personally beheaded Zhong You's nephew Guoyuan on the battlefield. He was brave and good at fighting in Xiliang Army, but Guan Yu beheaded him.
If you just beat Cao Jun, there's nothing to show off. The key point is that the battle of Guan Yu and Xiangfan caused chaos in the Central Plains of Cao Wei. Powerful armed forces, refugee groups and military generals who were dissatisfied with Cao Wei rebelled against Cao Wei under the banner of Guan Yu, which made the Central Plains restless, and both Xudu and Luoyang were threatened by Guan Yu's peak. If Guan Yu defeats Huang Xu again, it will be the enemy's capital, and Cao Wei will be directly surrounded by the capital. This is very important.
Of the three kingdoms wars, only Guan Yu's battle in Xiangfan threatened Cao Wei the most, and only Guan Yu defeated Cao Wei's regular army with a partial division. Compared with the huge gap between strength and results, Guan Yu's ability is even more outstanding, saying that Guan Yu is the first military commander in the Three Kingdoms.
It is not common for celebrities in the Three Kingdoms to evaluate Guan Yu, except for Chen Shou, the author of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Ten thousand people riot? Besides, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu's evaluation of Guan Yu. Ten thousand enemies? , Ye Liu evaluation guan yu is? Brave the three armies? What do Lu Meng and Zhou Yu say about Guan Yu? General Xiong Hu? .
The evaluation from the enemy may be the truest reflection, but? Ten thousand enemies? 、? General Xiong Hu? This kind of evaluation, in the three kingdoms, only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have this kind of evaluation, and Lu Bu, who is usually called the first in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is far from Guan Yu in the official history, and is not a grade at all.
Therefore, Guan Yu is of course the first military commander in the Three Kingdoms.
