On military command ability, how do Shu and Han generals rank? Who is the strongest and who is the worst?

Speaking of the five tigers and generals, most people are interested in their power rankings. The focus of the debate is who has the highest martial arts, or whether Guan defeated Ma Chao and so on. But there is not much discussion about their military capabilities. Today, let's analyze it from the perspective of military command ability and see who is the strongest and who is the worst.

A, Guan Yu in the "Romance", Guan Yu's combat power is very good, beheaded Yan Liang, killed Wen Chou, made him famous all over the world. Although he lost to Maicheng, this can't erase his outstanding military talent. In the whole Shu-Han dynasty, there were actually only three handsome talents. Besides Liu Bei, another one is Guan Yu, and the third one is actually Ma Chao. It's just that Liu Bei doesn't trust Ma Chao and dare not let Ma Chao take over the army. When he was still in Xuzhou, Guan Yu's outstanding military performance was valued by Liu Bei.

At that time, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei to send troops to pacify Yuan Shu in the name of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. Originally Guan Yu wanted to stay in Xuzhou, but Liu Bei didn't agree. Liu Bei thinks Guan Yu has strong military ability and should go out with himself. We can discuss problems with each other, so we left Zhang Fei behind. Moreover, Liu Bei was relieved to let Guan Yu lead the army alone. Guan Yu was also allowed to stay in Jingzhou when Liu Bei attacked Xichuan. In Liu Bei's mind, Guan Yu is the only handsome talent in Shu Han, and his military ability is extremely strong.

In fact, according to Guan Yu's performance, he did not live up to Liu Bei's expectations. Guan Yu is arrogant, but he has real skills. In the battle of Xiangfan, Cao Ren, a famous Cao Wei, did not dare to fight. Yu Jin led seven armies to rescue him, but was defeated by Guan Yu, and the whole army was wiped out. This record alone has exerted a great influence on China. With Liu Bei's support and Sun Quan's commitment, Guan Yu will certainly achieve better results.

Second, since Ma Chao joined Liu Bei's camp, it seems that Ma Chao has not had many opportunities to play, so many people think that Ma Chao's military ability is not so good. In fact, this is a wrong cognition. Ma Chao's military ability is very strong, but Liu Bei did not dare to reuse it and did not give him military power. In the end, Ma Chao was also in poor health and died young. And why Liu Bei didn't dare to hand over the relieving to Ma Chao is actually related to Ma Chao's ability.

Ma Chao was the commander-in-chief of the Xiliang Army, with the ability and prestige. Even in some respects, he is better than Liu Bei. Ma Chao was also a figure who could compete with Liu Bei and Cao Cao. He was a vassal, but in the end he was defeated by Cao Cao and took refuge in Liu Bei in desperation. How can Ma Chao with this experience be reused by Liu Bei? But when it comes to military command ability, Ma Chao is definitely one of the best in Shu Han.

Among the many generals in Shu and Han dynasties, only Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Ma Chao really commanded 30,000 to 40,000 troops to fight. This kind of large-scale combat is a test of command ability, and others simply don't have this ability. Needless to say, Ma Chao is still commanding cavalry and infantry, and his military command ability is completely beyond doubt. Otherwise, Cao Cao wouldn't shout, "The horse won't die, I'm come to a bad end!"

Third, although Zhang Fei in Zhang Fei's romance is straightforward and honest, he is not stupid at all, and he is also an expert in military command. Zhang Fei is a man who is crude and refined. When Liu Dai was captured alive, Zhang Fei showed a shrewd side. Then, when he was fighting in Sichuan, he captured Yan Yan alive with a trick, then released Yan Yan and completely conquered Yan Yan. We can also see Zhang Fei's extraordinary talent from this incident.

In the face of Zhang He, a famous soldier who troubled Shu Han in the later period, Zhang Fei was not afraid at all. He even outwitted Zhang He with one move, and finally defeated Zhang He. His military ability was extremely strong. It's actually very simple to cheat people with tricks, but it's a test of ability to cheat such famous stars as Yan Yan and Zhang He, and Zhang Fei's performance in this respect is excellent and his ability is super strong.

Fourth, when Huang Zhong was fighting in Sichuan, Huang Zhong performed very well and was commended by Liu Bei. In the battle of Hanzhong, Huang Zhong even killed Xia, the commander of Cao Wei, with a plan, which made Cao Jun's morale turbulent and his combat effectiveness decreased, and made great contributions to Liu Bei's victory in the battle of Hanzhong. At that time, Liu Bei heard about Huang Zhong's record, and once lamented that the battle of Huang Zhong made the situation in Hanzhong suddenly change. Even if Cao Cao comes in person, it won't help.

Fifth, compared with the other four people, Zhao Yun has fewer opportunities to lead alone, but Zhao Yun's performance on the battlefield is still very good. Huang Zhong killed Xia Hou, Cao Cao personally led an army to come, and Liu Bei sent Huang Zhong to attack the hay. As a result, Huang Zhong did not return, and Liu Bei sent Zhao Yun to find out the news. On the way to find out the news, Zhao Yun and Jun had an encounter. Although Zhao Yun was brave, after all, he serenaded only to retreat, and Jun also caught up with Zhao Yun's camp.

When the Shu army saw that Cao Jun was coming, they wanted to close the village gate and stop Cao Jun. As a result, Zhao Yun ordered to open the camp gate and made an "empty city plan" (the real empty city plan in history was actually formulated by Zhao Yun). When he saw the gate of Shuzhai wide open, he was afraid of an ambush and dared not move forward, only to retreat. Zhaoyun saw that Cao Jun had been dead, and immediately ordered his men to beat drums to chase after him, so that Cao Jun fled hastily and stepped on his feet, and countless people drowned in the river. Liu Bei saw that Zhao Yun had made such a great contribution and praised "the bravery of Zilong"!

Zhaoyun's military ability is actually very strong, but compared with others, his performance opportunities are less and he can only be inferior to them. If Zhao Yun is given more opportunities to lead the troops, maybe he can play a better record. Conclusion In terms of military command ability, Guan Yu is the strongest, Ma Chao is the second, Zhang Fei is the third, Huang Zhong is the fourth, Zhao Yun is the fifth, and the five generals are the worst. Among them, only Guan Yu and Ma Chao have the experience of commanding large legions, while others have basically no experience in this field. Guan Yu and Ma Chao are really handsome talents, while others can only say that they are generals.
