"Point is grazing, the army is the best. Xuanwei Desert is famous for its Danqing. " This is like writing a poem. The reason why they are put together is not only the factor of fame, but also the requirement of not repeating the meaning of words and rhyming. These four men are really strong, but there are many people who can compete with them throughout the Warring States period.
Wuqi was a "military god" in the early Warring States period and was honored as a "sage in the army". As for his achievements, he took the "Wei Wuzu" established by himself, opened up territory for Wei, played invincible hands all over the world, and set a proud record of "seventy-six battles, sixty-four victories, and the rest for you". He never lost his career and pushed Wei to the position of the first overlord in the Warring States period.
Seventy-six battles with vassals, sixty-four wins, and the rest are solved. Extending in all directions, overwhelming, extraordinary achievements. Most notably, when Wei Wuzu was just built, Wuqi defeated the 500,000-strong army of Qin with the 50,000 new recruits in his own hands, and established his advantage over Qin in one fell swoop. He lost all the land in the west of Qin River, and was trapped in Hanguguan, shivering.
At that time, he was invincible. No matter which country, as long as it got Wuqi, it was safe. Cao Cao once commented on Wuqi: However, in Wei, Qin people dared not go east, while in Chu, Sanjin dared not go south.
This kind of record and prestige, even if compared with Bai Qi, the strongest of the four famous soldiers in the Warring States, are not much different. More importantly, Wu Qi is also a master of military theory. His military work "Seven Chapters of Woods" is a sacred book of military strategists, which is as famous as Sun Tzu's Art of War. Later generations even combined the two works into one, which was called Sun Wu's Art of War, and Wu Qi and Sun Wu also called it ".
The so-called "four famous generals of the Warring States" have made outstanding contributions, but they have no military writings. In the later Wu Temple, Wuqi was one of them, and the famous "Ten Philosophers of Wu Temple" Wu Qishi was also one of them. During the Warring States Period, Le Yi and Bai Qi enjoyed this honor except Wuqi. As for people like Lian Po and Li Mu, they are still a little short.
What is mentioned here is also a generation of famous soldiers, not to mention being able to enjoy the martial arts temple, ranking among the "Ten Philosophers". Just its proud record of "cutting the Qi of five countries and connecting more than 70 cities" is enough to leave a name in the history of war.
You know, at that time, Qi was the overlord of Kanto, and even Qin was afraid of three points. The result was almost conquered by Le Yi. After this war, Qi was weakened and became a second-rate country. This led to the rise of Zhao, and the hegemony between Qin and Zhao.
Speaking of this, you can actually answer why "the four famous soldiers of the Warring States, Qin and Zhao, each took the second place?" ? Because these four great generals were at the end of the Warring States period, Qin and Zhao were the most powerful countries with the most outstanding achievements.
Needless to say, Tian Lei killed millions of enemies in one generation and never failed in his life. The battle of Changping is more practical. Contemporary Lian Po, also the mainstay of Zhao, has made great achievements in his life. Except for Daqin, other countries are basically mistresses, especially after the battle of Changping. Faced with the danger of the Yan State taking advantage of it, Lian Po led the troops to lose their lives, winning more with less, and directly attacked the capital of the Yan State.
As for Wang Jian, he was the main commander in the process of Qin Shihuang's unification of the six countries. His father and son basically shot down all six countries, especially in the destruction of Chu in World War I, showing great talent. Li Mu is the last backbone of Zhao. He's alive, Zhao is still alive, he's dead, Zhao is gone.
So for generals, strength is very important, and the platform is also very important. Like the other five countries, it is not that there are no powerful generals, but that smart women can't cook without rice and can't make a proud record, so they can't rank on the list. What is a famous soldier? You can't be a famous star before you become famous. That's what you have to say to your record.
