Loyal ministers (for the Wei State, not for the Han Dynasty, otherwise they would more or less mean treacherous ministers): Xiahou brothers (Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan), Cao family (Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Cao Hong, Cao Zhang, Cao Ang, Cao Ren, Cao Shuang, Cao Zhi, Cao Xiong, etc.), Sima Yi (who was considered a loyal minister in the early stage), Yu Jin, Pang De, Zhang Liao, Man Chong, Xia Houlin, Xiahou De, Xia Houhe, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhang Xiu , Li Dian, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Liu Ye, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Lu Qian, Cao Chun, Cheng Yu, Mao Jie (in the end they fought with Cao Cao again, but before they fell out, Zhongxin), Jiang Ji, Yue Jin, Xiahou Ba, Xiahoujie, Lu Chang, (if you also say, Xu Shu can also do it).
The deeds cannot be told in full, but here are a few people:
Xiahou Dun [character Yuan Rang] "The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Xiahou Dun" records that he was a Qiao native of Pei State and was the successor of Xiahou Ying. At the age of fourteen, he studied as a teacher. If anyone insults his master, he will be killed, and he will be heard with fierceness. Taizu returned from Xuzhou, and Dun went to conquer Lu Bu. He was hit by a stray arrow and injured his left eye. He regained the command of Chen Liu and the governor of Jiyin, added General Wu, and granted the title of Marquis of Gao'an Township. At that time, there was a severe drought and locusts broke out. Dunnai cut off the Taishou River to build a slope, and he took the soil on his own. He led his soldiers to persuade them to plant rice, and the people relied on it for its benefits. Transferred to Henan Yin. Taizu pinged Hebei and became a general and later refused.
Although he was in the military, he received his master's training personally. He is pure and frugal by nature, and always gives away the extra money he has. If you are not qualified enough to be an official, you will not be able to manage the industry. His posthumous title is Zhonghou. .
"Zi Zhi Tong Jian" records that Xia Hou defeated Zhang Wei by accident: (Cao Cao) attacked the villages on Yangping Mountain. When they were done, they were discouraged, so they wanted to pull out their troops and cut off the mountain to return. They sent General Xiahou Dun and General Xu Chu to call their troops back up the mountain. Before the meeting, the army was confused at night and mistakenly entered Zhangwei's camp. The camp was shocked and dispersed. Attendant Xin Pi, chief secretary Liu Ye and others were behind the army and spoke to Dun and Chu, saying that "the officers and soldiers have captured the enemy's garrison and the thieves have dispersed", but they still did not believe it. Dunqian saw that he was still in vain, so he advanced his troops to attack the guards, but the guards fled at night.
Wang Xin once praised Xiahou and said: Yuan Rang was a great general at that time. Unfortunately, his biography is unknown. One of the five was defeated by clouds and interrogated, which shows Han Hao. One of the five was flourishing. A mediocre and cowardly person will fall into the world without thinking about the son of a famous general. Is it true that a general cannot be passed down twice? From a brief glance, Wu Ze cleans up the ugly people and appeases the local areas, while Wen Ze encourages farmers to cultivate mulberry trees and build military camps. Why are there so many talented people like Cao Xiahou? How could Liang Peijian really have the aura of an emperor?
"Book of Wei" says: "The book of Wei contains an edict: "In the past, the rituals of the previous kings showed their rank and rank when the meritorious officials were alive, and when they were gone, they were sacrificed to Dazheng. Therefore, the meritorious officials of the Han family were sacrificed in the temple. Yuan Gong of the Great Wei Dynasty Those who have outstanding meritorious deeds but have finally lost their lives will be worshiped according to the rituals." So he served with Dun and others.
It can be seen that the general did not love money and did not seek admiration from others during his lifetime. It is true that "the Marquis of Xia does not ask for attention from others, but only wants to follow the returning geese to the south of Red Cliff." Dunchang and Tongzai are particularly affectionate, and they go in and out of bed, and there is no comparison among the generals. This shows his status in Wei and his relationship with Cao Cao! So it is not an exaggeration to say that he served as the leader of the ten tiger generals of Wei.
No. 2. Both civil and military talents - Xia Houyuan [zi: Miaocai] Needless to say, this man's abilities are among the best. According to "Three Kingdoms: Xiahou Yuan's Biography", Chang Xi rebelled and sent Yu Jin to attack them, but they were not able to pull them out. Yuan and Jin were sent back to join forces, so they attacked Xi and surrendered more than ten of their villages. Xi Yi Jin surrendered. When Yuan returned, he paid homage to the military commander. Wei Shu said: "Yuan is a general. When he is in urgent need, he often catches the enemy unawares. Therefore, he said in the army: "Xiahou Yuan, the captain of the Dian Army, has five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days." Liangzhou was in chaos, and he called himself the King of Han Dynasty at the head of the river. Taizu sent Yuan Shuai and other generals to discuss the construction. When Yuan arrived, the surrounding troops were surrounded by a few soldiers. After a month, they were pulled out, the buildings were cut down, and the prime minister was installed. Yuanbie sent Zhang He and others to level the Heguan, cross the river into Xiaohuangzhong, and all the Qiang in the west of the Hexi surrendered, and Longyou leveled. Taizu ordered: "Song Dynasty has been in chaos for more than 30 years. Yuan destroyed it in one fell swoop. The tiger steps on the right, and there is no way forward. Zhongni said: 'I am not as good as you.'" (This paragraph is very powerful. To illustrate the problem, it is also recorded in Cao Cao's complete book that the words "I am not as good as you" were probably what he said to the other generals present at the time. This shows the excellence of Brother Miaocai whenever Cao Cao summoned the western chiefs. , always have Xia Houyuan as his companion, those Qiang people are all frightened and do not dare to rebel again) Hui Lu surrendered, Hanzhong was pinged, Yi Yuanxing was the general protecting the army, and he supervised Zhang He, Xu Huang and others to ping Bajun. Taizu returned to Ye and left Yuan to guard Hanzhong, whereupon he paid homage to General Yuan Zhengxi.
The most outstanding skill in his military command art is his speed. He is good at making quick decisions, knows how to abandon the strong to attack the weak, and uses his troops flexibly.
During the battle, Xia Houyuan also attached great importance to logistical support. He often personally supervised the transportation of military rations. After winning the battle, he also took the enemy's rations first. He was a model of good logistics support in the military. And Xia Houyuan, the warrior who made great contributions to Cao Cao's unification war, will not lose his important position in the military history of the Three Kingdoms because he was ultimately defeated and died. He is worthy of the word "wonderful talent"! (Netizens say that the Wei army only has Zhang Liao, and Zhang He can be compared with him. This statement is for brothers to comment on, so I will not defend it here)
No.3 Pillar of Optimism--Zhang Liao [Zi Wenyuan] Wei Guowu The leader of good generals. In the past, he served Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. After Lu Bu's defeat, he returned to Cao Cao. The Liao army went on a campaign with Cao Cao and made numerous military exploits. It is said that he surrendered Guan Yu to Baimawei, surrendered Changxi to the East China Sea, attacked Yuan Shang in Yecheng, killed Wu Wan Shanyu Tadun in Liucheng, and attacked Ping Meicheng and Chen Lan to fight against the bandits. Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi and left Zhang Liao alone to lead Li Dian, Yue Jin and others to guard Hefei to defend Sun Quan. Later, Sun Quan led his army into the enemy, and Zhang Liao led his troops to attack him. He attacked Sun Quan's main force with eight hundred men, causing the enemy's one hundred thousand troops to retreat. He shocked the enemy country, became famous all over the world, and worshiped him as the General of the Eastern Conquest. Cao Pi practiced Zuo and still ordered Zhang Liao to guard Sun Quan. In the second year of Huangchu, Zhang Liao was stationed at Yongqiu and fell ill. When he fell ill, he retired from Wu general Lu Fan. In the third year of Huangchu's reign, he died of illness in Liao Dynasty and died in Jiangdu, with the posthumous title of Marquis Gang. He died at the age of fifty-three.
Taizu expressed his gratitude to the Emperor of Han Dynasty, saying that he was advancing to Jin, and Zhang Liao said: "The force of force is great, the strategy is well prepared, the character is loyal, the integrity is upheld, and every time when there is a battle, he is always the commander. He fought hard to break through the enemy's strongholds. He supported himself by playing drums and worked tirelessly. He also sent troops to fight, commanded the army, and brought peace to the masses. He did not commit any offense when ordered to defeat the enemy, but he did not neglect his merits. It is appropriate for everyone to show their favor. ""Zhi Le Jin Biography of the Three Kingdoms"
(Wei Wen) The emperor sighed and looked around and said: "This is also the ancient method of summoning tigers." "The Biography of Zhang Liao in the Three Kingdoms"
(Sun Quan) ordered the generals: "Although Zhang Liao is ill, he should not be taken seriously, so be careful!" "The Biography of Zhang Liao in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms"
Quote: Throughout Zhang Liao's life, his military achievements were very prominent, including a major defeat. The Yuan family, quelling the rebellions of Chen Lan and Meicheng, and repelling Sun Quan's Northern Expeditionary Army successfully defended Hefei as the three best records. Zhang Liao rarely suffered defeats. Except for losing the last battle, he only failed to win a few battles with Sun Quan. The last battle was because Zhang Liao was ill and his physical strength declined, and Sun Quan was not Yuan Shang's first-rate opponent. In reality, the children of the Wu Kingdom would not tremble when they heard Zhang Liao's name, but Zhang Liao was indeed a figure that had always caused Wu a headache. After the war, Zhang Liao was even worshiped by Cao Cao as a second-rank officer, General Zhengdong. He was the only one of Cao Cao's surnamed Sanzheng during his lifetime. The other two were Cao Ren, the general who conquered the south, and Xia Houyuan, the general who conquered the west. In the 21st year of Jian'an, Cao Cao sighed for a long time in Xiaoyaojin. The biggest pain was the indescribable feeling that he couldn't express. Just like Cao Cao's emotion towards Du Ji (Note 3), everything was in silence. There are no words of praise. It's also very convincing, including Chen Shou's comments. Guan Yu surrounded Cao Ren in Fancheng, and at the right moment Sun Quan proclaimed vassal status in Wei, so Cao Cao summoned Zhang Liao and other troops to rescue Cao Ren. However, Xu Huang had already defeated Guan Yu before Zhang Liao's army arrived, and Cao Ren's siege was resolved. At this time, Zhang Liao and Cao Cao met in Mobei. When the Liao army arrived, Cao Cao went out in his chariot to express condolences to Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao then returned to station in Chen County. However, even if Zhang Liao really wants to meet Guan Yu on the battlefield, the outcome is uncertain. But Zhang Liao, who has chosen loyalty between loyalty and righteousness before, may be like Xu Huang and put national interests above all else. Cao Pi succeeded to the throne of Wei and conferred the title of former general to Zhang Liao. It was not until Zhang Liao's death that the Wei State was no longer able to move southward. Among Zhang Liao's only few defeats, once he only had reinforcements. In the end, he did not win because Sun Quan sent Lu Meng and Gan Ning to occupy Wan County first. With such a record, Zhang Liao can be said to be one of the "victorious generals" among the Three Kingdoms!
PS: People say that Zhang Liao was both civil and military, wise and brave, and had extraordinary talents. Only generals such as Zhao Yun of Shu and Qian Ning of Wu could compare with him! Dear friends, please make your decision!~~
No.4 Loyalty and Righteousness - Yue Jin [zi Wenqian] was the second of the five good generals of the Wei State. He attacked Lu Bu in Puyang, Zhang Chao in Yongqiu, and Qiao Yu in Ku. They all achieved meritorious service first and were granted the title of Marquis of Guangchang Pavilion. He conquered Zhang Xiu in Anzhong, surrounded Lu Bu in Xiapi, defeated the other generals, attacked Sui Gu in Shegou, attacked Liu Bei in Pei, defeated them all, and went to the Kou Xiaowei. After crossing the river and capturing Jia, he returned and attacked Yuan Shao at Guandu. In a fierce battle, he beheaded Shao's general Chunyu Qiong. Cong attacked Tan and Shang Yu in Liyang, killed his general Yan Jing, and went on a guerrilla attack against the general. Don't attack the Yellow Turban, break it and secure Le'an County. From the siege of Ye, Ye Ding, from the attack on Yuan Tan in Nanpi, ascended first and entered the east gate of Tan. If Tan is defeated, don't attack Yong Nu and break it.
Afterwards, they pacified Jingzhou and stayed in Xiangyang to attack Guan Yu, Su Fei and others, but they all left. The barbarians in the valleys of Nanjun advanced and surrendered. He also attacked Liu Bei's Lin Ju Chang Du Pu and Jing Yang Chang Liang Da, and defeated them both. ---"The Biography of Yue Jin in the Three Kingdoms"
◆Chen Shou commented: "Taizu established his martial arts skills, and the good generals of the time were the five sons first... Yue Jin was famous for his bravery..." ("Zhang Yue Zhang" "Xu Chuan")
◆ Taizu expressed his gratitude to the Han Emperor, saying that he was advancing to the Jin Dynasty. Zhang Liao said: "The force of force is great, the strategy is well prepared, the character is loyal, and the integrity is upheld. Whenever there is a battle, we will attack." He often leads the army as a governor, fights against the enemy's strongholds, fights against any obstacles, and works tirelessly to support himself. He also dispatches expeditions, controls troops and brigade, and brings peace to the masses. He does not commit any offense when ordered, and is able to defeat the enemy without hesitation. Lost. When it comes to merit and discipline, everyone should show his favor." ("The Biography of Yue Jin")
People say that he devoted his life to Cao Cao in obscurity without asking for anything in return. The basic ideals are shown, which is really commendable. Some people say that he is a second-rate military general, but he never takes credit for himself and is arrogant. He can be said to be consistent from beginning to end, and he is worthy of the word "Wen Qian"! ! "When Taizu returned, he stayed to join Zhang Liao and Li Dian in Hefei, adding 500 towns and 1,200 former households. According to the merits of the advance, 500 households were divided into 500 households, and one son was granted the title of marquis; he was moved to the right general. Jian'an 20 He died three years ago, and was given the posthumous title of Marquis Wei.
No.5 A man of great courage - Yu Jin [Zi Wenze] was the third of the five good generals of Wei. Attack Lu Bu in Puyang, leave Po Bu's second camp in the south of the city, and leave Po Gao Ya in Xuchang. Attack Shouzhang, Dingtao, and Lihu, surround Zhangchao, and capture Yongqiu. The Yellow Turbans Liu Pi, Huang Shao and others were sent to camp in Banliang. Shao and others attacked Taizu's camp at night. They were defeated by the commander of the ban, and Shao and others were beheaded and surrendered. Moved to Pinglu school captain. From the siege of the bridge, Rui Yuku was killed, and four other generals including Rui were beheaded. From Zhiwan, Zhang Xiu was sent down. At that time, the army was in chaos, and everyone went to seek help from Taizu. He banned several hundred of his generals, fought and led them, and even though there were casualties, they did not leave each other. The pursuit of the captives slowed down a bit, and Xu was allowed to regroup and return with the sound of drums. Before arriving at Taizu's place, Taoist saw more than ten people being wounded and walking naked. He couldn't ask why, and said: "They were robbed by Qingzhou soldiers." At the beginning, the Yellow Turbans surrendered and were named Qingzhou soldiers. . Forbidden to be angry, he ordered his people to say: "Qingzhou soldiers belong to Cao Gong, but they are still thieves!" Then they punished them and punished them. Qingzhou soldiers rushed to Taizu to complain. When the ban came, he first set up a fortress and visited Taizu from time to time. Or Jin said: "Qingzhou soldiers have sued you, and it is better to ask Duke Yi to discuss it." Jin said: "The thief is behind now, and there is no time to pursue him. If you don't prepare first, how can you wait for the enemy? You are smart, why should you sue? Destiny!" After setting up camp in the trench, Xu went to pay a visit and present his status. Taizu Yue said about the ban: "I am very anxious about the difficulty of draining the water. The general can rectify the chaos and fight against the violence. There are immovable links. Although the ancient generals are famous, why should they be added to it?" So he recorded the achievements before and after the ban, He was granted the title of Marquis of Yishou Pavilion. Then he attacked Zhang Xiu at Rang and led Lu Bu at Xia Pi. He attacked Sui Gu at She Quan with Shi Huan and Cao Ren, and defeated and beheaded him. At that time, Jin and Zhang Liao, Yue Jin, Zhang He, and Xu Huang were all famous generals. Every time Taizu went on an expedition, Xiandi acted as the vanguard of the army, but also resisted the rear. However, Jin kept the army in good order, and had nothing to gain from thieves and property. Therefore, The reward is extremely heavy. However, if you use the law to control your subordinates, you will not be able to win the hearts of the scholars. Taizu often hated Zhu Ling and wanted to seize his camp. Because of the authority of the ban, he sent dozens of knights with the order to Ling's camp to seize his army. Ling and his subordinates did not dare to move. Instead, Ling was appointed as the commander of the ban's troops. Everyone was shocked and frightened. in this way. He was moved to the left as a general, and he was given a holiday axe. He was divided into five hundred households and one son was granted the title of marquis. ——"The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms"
Taizu established his martial arts skills, and among the good generals of the time, the five sons were the first. Yu Jin's most famous name was Yi Zhong, but he failed to overcome it in the end. "Three Kingdoms Wei Shu Seventeen Zhang Yue Zhang Xu Zhuan"
Taizu expressed his gratitude to the Han emperor and said: "The force of force is great, the strategy is well prepared, the character is loyal, and the integrity is upheld every day. When attacking in battle, he always leads the army, fights against the enemy's strongholds, and defends himself against all odds. He supports himself with drums and drums, and his hands are tireless. He also sends troops to fight, controls the divisions and brigade, and calms the masses. He does not commit any offense when ordered to do so, and is responsible for defeating the enemy. , everything is lost. When it comes to merit and discipline, everyone should show their favor." "Legend of the Three Kingdoms"
Yu Jin has experienced hundreds of battles and participated in almost all of Cao Cao's wars. Every time Cao Cao sends troops, Yu Jin will be there. As the vanguard; every time Cao Cao retreats, Yu Jin must be the rearguard. Together with Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Zhang He, and Xu Huang, they are all world-famous generals of Cao Cao's group.
Before the Battle of Xiangfan, judging from the fact that Cao Cao sent Yu Jin instead of other famous generals to support Cao Ren, Yu Jin's status was quite high, obviously above all the generals.
No.6 Fan Kuai's bravery--Zhang He [zi Junyi] was the fourth of the five good generals of Wei. Taizu was very happy when he got He, and said: "In the past, Zixu didn't die early and put himself in danger. How could it be like Wei Zi going to Yin and Han Xin to return to the Han Dynasty?" He paid homage to He He, the partial general, and made him the capital of Tinghou. Give them to the people, attack Ye, and pull it out.
Then he attacked Yuan Tan in the Bohai Sea, and the other generals surrounded Yongnu and defeated him. From the attack on Liucheng, he and Zhang Liao became the vanguard of the army, and moved to General Pingdi with his merits. They also attacked Donglai and attacked Guan Cheng. They also attacked Chen Lan, Meicheng and others with Zhang Liao and defeated them. From then on, Ma Chao and Han Sui were defeated in Weinan. The surrounding area is stable and Yangqiu falls. He fought with Xia Houyuan against the traitors Liang Xing and Wudu Di. He also defeated Ma Chao and defeated Song Jian. When Taizu conquered Zhang Lu, he sent the troops of Hedu in advance to fight against the king of Di, Dou Mao. "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Zhang He"
First he joined Han Fu and then Yuan Shao, and he made many contributions in the battle with Gongsun Zan. During the Battle of Guandu, Zhang He was framed by Guo Tu and surrendered to Cao Cao. He was reused. He followed Cao Cao to pacify the north, expedition to Wuhuan, defeated Ma Chao, and destroyed Zhang Lu. He had many military exploits. Later, Zhang He followed Xia Houyuan to garrison in Hanzhong, and after Xia Houyuan was killed, he temporarily acted as the commander-in-chief to maintain the defeated army. During Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition during the reign of Emperor Wei Ming, Zhang He was ordered to rescue Longyou and defeated the Shu general Ma Su at Jieting, causing Zhuge Liang to withdraw his troops; during Zhuge Liang's fourth expedition, Zhang He followed Sima Yi to resist. Later, Zhuge Liang ran out of food and retreated. Zhang He pursued him to Mumen and fought with Zhuge Liang's army. He was shot in the right knee by a flying arrow and died.
Chen Shou commented: Taizu established martial arts, and among the good generals of the time, the five sons were the first. Zhang He is famous for his clever changes.
Cao Cao, who was very good at employing people, was very pleased with Zhang He, and compared him to Han Xin returning to the Han Dynasty, and Wei Zi abandoning Yin Zhou. Appointing Zhang He as a partial general and conferring the title of Dutinghou showed that Cao Cao valued Zhang He very much.
Zhang He did not disappoint Cao Cao. He made many military exploits and became a famous general. He defeated Yongnu, conquered Donglai, defeated Ma Chao and Han Sui, put down the rebellion, and defeated Ma Su... Throughout his life. It can be said that he has made countless military achievements. Chen Shou said that he "recognizes variables and manages the camp well". He is truly a hero!
This is how Zhang He ended up in his glorious life - he died on the battlefield, his death was tragic and magnificent, and he was shot to death at the wooden door with a trace of regret.
According to "Wei Lue", Zhang He was forced by Sima Yi and had no choice but to pursue Zhuge Liang, who had retreated, but was shot to death. Zhang He is indeed pitiful, knowing that he will not return the favor once he leaves, yet he still has to chase after him. Shuijian not only pitied Zhang He's fate, but also pitied his talent. Before his death, he had known about Zhuge Liang's ambush, but he died because of his foolish loyalty.
Under Cao Cao, the stars were shining brightly, and Zhang He once again showed a huge role in the Battle of Hanzhong. "Liu Bei stationed at Yangping and He stationed at Guangshi. He prepared more than 10,000 elite soldiers, divided into ten groups, and attacked Hehe in a hurry at night. He led his own troops to fight, but the preparation could not defeat him." Chen Shou later commented that Zhang He used his troops to make clever changes. , and this battle showed his rigor and strength. Liu Bei started from Hebei and once went north from Yuan Shao. He should have always known about Zhang He. The Battle of Yangping and Guangshi may have caused a huge psychological shadow on him. "Wei Lue" "Although Yuan was the governor, Liu Bei was afraid of He and Yi Yuan." . And Sha Yuan, Bei said: "When you get the leader, what's wrong with using this!" " He was dissatisfied because he did not get Zhang He. Fear, from Liu Xuande's way of reading people when he visited Zhuge Liang in the countryside and knew Ma Su when he was ill, we can also see that Zhang He was not simple.
Xiahou Yuan was defeated and died (note 2), "At that time. , the newly lost marshal may be taken advantage of by preparation, and all three armies will be eclipsed. Yuan Sima Guo Huai then ordered everyone to say: "General Zhang is a famous general in the country, and Liu Bei is afraid of it. Today's matter is urgent, and it cannot be done without General Zhang." ’ Then He was promoted to be the military leader. When He came out, he gathered his troops and set up their formations. All the generals received He's control, and everyone's hearts were set. "So he was not taken advantage of by Liu Bei, which also shows Zhang He's prestige in the army.
No.7 Yafu's Talent--Xu Huang [zi Gongming] was one of the five good generals in Wei. He originally followed Yang Feng , once protected Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty on his eastward journey, and performed meritorious service. He later surrendered to Cao Cao and followed Cao Cao in various campaigns. He led his troops to kill Wen Chou in Yanjin, led his troops to intercept and burn grain and grass in Guandu, and was the first to cross the river when Ping Ma exceeded his time. He defeated the Shu general Chen when he defended Hanzhong. He had many military exploits. Especially in the battle to break the siege of Fancheng, Xu Huang led the army to defeat the Shu army in one fell swoop. He was praised by Cao Cao. During the reign of Emperor Wei Ming, Xu Huang died of illness. /p>
Cao Cao: "The thieves besieged him with ten layers of antlers, and the general won the battle. Then he was surrounded by thieves and beheaded many prisoners. I have been using the army for more than thirty years, and from what I have heard of those who were good at using the army in ancient times, there was no one who drove a long way into the enemy's siege. Furthermore, Fan and Xiangyang were more powerful than Ju and Jimo in the siege, and their generals were more effective than Sun Wu and Rangju. " ("The Biography of Xu Huang, Book of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, 17")
Cao Cao: "General Xu can be said to be like Zhou Yafu. "("Book of the Three Kingdoms Wei Shu 17 Xu Huang Biography")
Xu Huang's most shining battle was undoubtedly to resolve the crisis in Fancheng.
Cao Cao did not expect that he could relieve the crisis. He personally controlled the army behind and transferred back Zhang Liao and other famous generals, which showed that Guan Yu had a great advantage in the situation at that time. If he commanded it properly, he could regain Jingzhou. But before Cao Cao's army arrived, the crisis in Fancheng was relieved by Xu Huang. "Huangyang Sheng should attack Beitoutun and attack the four tombs secretly. Seeing that the four tombs are about to be destroyed, Yu will go out with five thousand infantry and cavalry to fight, attack them, retreat, then pursue them and seize them, break them, or surrender. Mian Shui died. "This was a hard battle, and it was not as simple as taking advantage of Guan Yu's injury in the novel. Just look at Cao Cao's evaluation: "Jingzhou's soldiers were surrounded by antlers, and Xu Gongming was as deep as them. He has achieved full success and has been fighting alone for more than 30 years. He has never dared to drive for a long time and is surrounded by enemies. Gongming is really a man of courage and wisdom." Cao Cao commented like this in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms: "The generals were surrounded by thieves and besieged with ten layers of antlers. The general won the battle, and then he was surrounded by thieves and beheaded many captives. I have been using the army for more than thirty years, and I have heard of no one who was good at using soldiers in ancient times. The enemy is also encircling. Fan and Xiangyang are encircling them more than Ju and Jimo, and their generals are more powerful than Sun Wu and Rang Ju. "Huang Zhen's brigade returned to Mobei, and Taizu greeted him seven miles away and held a wine meeting. Taizu drank wine to persuade Huang, and said to him: "Quanfan and Xiangyang are all the merits of the general." At that time, all the armies were gathered, and Taizu's case was carried out in various camps. The soldiers left Chen Guan, and Huang's camp was in order, and the soldiers Stay stationary in Chen. I'm afraid there are not many people who have received such evaluation from Cao Cao. No matter he faced off against Liu Bei, Zhou Yu or Zhuge Jin, he was undefeated. He was one of the most brave and skillful generals in Cao's camp and among the Three Kingdoms.
No.8 The Braveness of Ghosts and Gods - Cao Ren [zixiao] was a famous general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. Cao Ren was good at bowing, horse riding, riding and shooting. When he was young, he did not practice self-discipline. When he grew up and became a general, he became strict and obeyed the laws and orders. Ren served Cao Cao for many years and made many meritorious deeds. During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Ren went to Huguan from the siege. At that time, Cao Cao ordered the city to be captured and trapped all the enemy troops, but the result was that it did not fall for months. Cao Ren signaled to Cao Cao that "the city must be besieged." Cao Cao followed his words and the city surrendered immediately. Before and after the recording, he was granted the title of Marquis of Ting. From then on, Cao Cao relied on Cao Ren as a southern barrier and granted Ren the title of General to Conquer the South. When guarding Jingzhou, Ren Zeng rejected the Wu general Zhou Yu in Nanjun, and then rejected the Shu general Guan Yu in Fancheng. During this period, he also marched with General Anxi to reject Ma Chao in the west. During the reign of Emperor Wen, he worshiped Cao Ren as a general of chariots and cavalry, commanded the military affairs of Jing, Yang, and Yi states, and was granted the title of Marquis of Chen. He also teamed up with Xu Huang to defeat Chen Shao, marched to Xiangyang, and became a general. Later, Cao Ren was ordered to move to Linying, and then to the left of Da Sima. The governor's troops were stationed in Wujiang, and they were also stationed in Hefei. Ren died in the fourth year of Huangchu, and his posthumous title was Zhonghou. He was fifty-six years old.
"Fu Zi" contains: "Cao Da Sima's bravery, (Meng) Bi, (Xia) Yufujia also. Zhang Liao is second."
Chen Jiao said : "General (Cao Ren) is truly a heavenly man!" ("Three Kingdoms Wei Shu Jiu Biography of Cao Ren")
In the important battle that determined the life and death of Cao Cao's group - the Battle of Guandu. Yuan Shao took advantage of Cao Cao's main force to confront him in Guandu, and sent Liu Bei to lead an army to attack Cao Cao's rear. A large number of counties and counties surrendered in Kaicheng. Han Xun then tried to cut off Cao Cao's supply line on the West Road. The people south of Xudu were panicked and their morale was fluctuating. Cao Cao was greatly troubled by this. If the situation continues to develop, it will become unstoppable. At this time, it was Cao Ren who put forward the correct opinion. He proposed that the reason why the southern counties surrendered was mainly because Liu Bei's army was strong and they betrayed to survive. Liu Bei had just begun to command Yuan Shao's troops, but he was not able to handle them well. If he launched an attack, he could be defeated. Cao Cao then ordered Cao Ren to lead a small number of cavalry to attack Liu Bei. Cao Ren lived up to his trust, defeated Liu Bei's army and recovered all the rebellious counties. He also defeated Han Xun's army at Jiluo Mountain. At this point, Yuan Shao no longer dared to divide his troops to harass Cao Jun, and the initiative on the battlefield had gradually transferred to Cao Jun. Cao Ren, Xu Huang and others frequently attacked at this time, burning Yuan Jun's food trucks and eating up Yuan Jun's stragglers, leaving Yuan Shao's army exhausted and in a passive situation. This laid the foundation for Cao's army to finally launch the Battle of Wuchao and end the Battle of Guandu. In the battles of his life, it can be seen that Cao Ren's commanding power is extremely high, which can be seen from his ability to motivate soldiers. Fighting at Zhangxiu, defending Jiangling, and defending Fancheng can inspire soldiers and gain their trust. This ability also helped him become a master in city defense warfare. There is no doubt about his courage and bravery. There seem to be not many people in the Three Kingdoms in history who can lead dozens of people to charge into thousands of enemy troops twice like him to rob people. Such a general who is excellent both offensively and defensively, brave and invincible, reliable, steady, and loyal to his duty, his comprehensive ability is one of the best even among the talented Cao camp. Maybe his performance will not be very outstanding or eye-catching, but there is no doubt that he is a practical and not flashy general who can make people feel reassured.
Perhaps, Cao Ren's ability was enough for Cao Cao to say, "I have Cao Ren, so why should I be afraid!"
No.9 Yi Bo Yuntian - Pang De [zi Lingming] was a county official and state official when he was young . From Ma Teng, they attacked the rebellious Qiang, Di and other foreign tribes. They had several military exploits and moved to Xiaowei. When Cao Cao attacked Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang in Liyang, Guo Yuan, Gao Gan and others led a military expedition to the east of the river. During Pang De's time, he followed Ma Teng's son Ma Chao to resist Guo Yuan and Gao Gan in Pingyang. He was the vanguard of the army and attacked Guo Yuan and Gao Gan, greatly defeating their army. , and even personally beheaded Guo Yuan, so he worshiped General Zhonglang and made him the capital of Tinghou. Later, Ma Teng was recruited as a guard, and Pang De stayed with Ma Chao. When Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao in Weinan, Pang De fled to Hanyang with Ma Chao and defended Jicheng; soon after, he defected to Hanzhong with Ma Chao and subordinated himself to Zhang Lu. After Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong, Pang De surrendered along with the others. Cao Cao heard about his bravery and worshiped Pang De as a righteous general and made him a Marquis of Guan Ting Pavilion. Later, Pang De led his army and Cao Ren to attack Wancheng, killed the rebel generals Hou Yin and Wei Kai, and then stationed south in Fancheng to attack Guan Yu. At that time, the generals in Fancheng thought that Pang Rou, Pang De's brother, was in Hanzhong and were quite suspicious of Pang De. Pang De then fought hard and was deeply feared by Guan Yu's army. After the defeat, Pang De vowed not to surrender, but was captured and killed by Guan Yu. When Cao Cao heard about this, he was very sad and shed tears, so he named his two sons as marquises.
