Zhang Liao, Zhang Ying and Zhang Fei were all famous military generals in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty. As a militarist, we must judge them by their war achievements and contributions to the historical process.
From the official point of view, Zhang Liao has the strongest comprehensive strength, followed by Zhang Ying and Zhang Fei.
Zhang Liao experienced many battles in his life, the most famous of which was the battle between Cao Wei and Wu Dong. After this war, Zhang Liao became famous in World War I and became famous in the history of ancient wars.
In 2 15, Sun Quan sent troops to attack Hefei's Zhang Liao headquarters. Prior to this, Cao Cao transferred some troops from Hefei to the Western Expedition Road. Faced with 6,543,800 elite soldiers in Wu Dong, Zhang Liao and Li Dian have only 7,000 troops, which simply can't stand Wu Dong's attack. At this time, Zhang Liao showed the strategic vision that a strategist should have. He thought that when Wu Dongyuan was under-levied, it was necessary to take the lead in demoralizing the enemy before Wu Dong's army stopped and besieged the city on all sides.
Zhang Liao personally ordered 800 elite soldiers and personally led them to annihilate Wu Dongjun at dawn. Zhang Liao rushed all the way to Sun Quan's camp, and then led his troops to break through. After the first breakthrough, Zhang Liao found that most people were trapped in the Dongwu army, so he immediately reined in his horse and took over the soldiers who had not yet broken through. The soldiers in Wu Dong were afraid and didn't resist. They left Zhang Liao to save his men. They have the style of Zhao Zilong telling stories, with seven in and seven out.
The Battle of Hefei is a rare battle in the history of China. Historians speculate that in the process of Zhang Liao's breakthrough, Chen Wu, a famous Soochow player, was cut under his horse. Of course, Zhang Liao's victory over Chen Wu was not a victory by force. More likely, Chen Wu died in the chaos without taking any precautions.
After the war in Hefei, Sun Quan's morale was low and he had no intention of fighting again. He had to retire after a few days.
In Zhang Ying's life, the Battle of Jieting was most praised by later generations. In the second year of Taihe (228), under the leadership of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, the Northern Expedition of Shu Han began again. The Shu army marched very smoothly. Tianshui County, Nan 'an County and Anding County collectively surrendered to Shu Han. Due to the emergency of the Shu army, the attack speed is extremely fast. Cao Rui asked Zhang Ying to lead people from all walks of life to resist Shu Han.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Liao, Zhang Ying and Zhang Fei, who had stronger fighting capacity?
At this time, Zhang Ying showed outstanding military talent, and thought that street kiosks were the key to the victory or defeat of the two armies. Zhang Ying did not directly fight the Shu army with high morale. But to send troops to cut off the water supply of the Shu army. He adopted the strategy of encirclement and suppression and trapped Ma Su. As a result, the most critical node of Shu-Han Northern Expedition was lost. Shu Han's Northern Expedition ended in failure.
Zhang Ying and Cao Cao participated in the battle of Guandu, the Fifth Ring Road, the Hefei, and the wars in Brazil and Hanzhong. Finally, he died in the battlefield in 23 1 Taihe five years, and ended his life with the highest honor of a soldier. It's amazing.
Zhang Fei's resume is relatively simple He lived with his elder brother Liu Bei and his second brother Guan Yu all his life.
Zhang Fei's strength is more concentrated on his personal martial arts and loyalty. In several wars he participated in, he usually appeared as a general, such as defeating Zhang Ying and Wudu.
What Zhang Fei praised most was Yan Yan. In 2 13, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang broke up publicly. Liu Bei decided to annex Liu Zhang. So he met Liu Zhang's famous general Yan Yan. Zhang Fei thought Yan Yan was a famous general at that time. He can only win by wisdom, not by hard attack. After Yan Yan was captured alive, Zhang Fei admired the old general Yan Yan very much. He untied him and invited him to the throne. He successfully won a rare general for Liu Bei.
