What does fortune telling mean?

Some people say that Cao Ren is a lucky general in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. What contribution did he make to Cao Ying? How about martial arts?

Friends who like to watch the Three Kingdoms find that the generals of Wei, Shu and Wu have different styles:

Wu Dong is a handsome man. For example, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun, the prefects who hold the military power, can all consider problems from the general trend of the world and have a pattern in their hearts. However, there are not many warriors in Wu Dong who are good at fighting one-on-one, and what they can get is really rare.

Shu Han is a brave soldier. For example, the Five Tigers of Shu and Han, Li Yan, Wei Yan, Jiang Wei, Guan Ping, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao. There is no problem in capturing the enemy and fighting in the battle, but there are not many talents who can stand alone.

Cao Wei is relatively balanced, and there is no shortage of military commanders who can fight, and there is no shortage of strategists. There are also all kinds of smart, good at assisting and cooperating generals. Many generals can fight one-on-one and lead troops, such as Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xia and Coss.

Coss is a lucky general. You still remember, in the 23rd time of Romance of Three Kingdoms, Mi Fei beat drums and scolded Cao, and Cao Cao boasted about his talents to Mi Fei:

"Yu Xun, Xun You, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu are far-sighted, although not as good as Xiao He and Chen Ping ... Xia Houdun is a genius in the world, and Cao Zixiao is a blessing in the world."

Why does Cao Cao think that Coss is a blessed general? Because Cao Ren mainly led the cavalry troops under Cao Cao's account, he was often ordered to intervene in places where the enemy and the enemy were intertwined, and he was able to go back and forth safely every time without loss. You can often meet the enemy's logistics forces and take the opportunity to grab food and grass. Every time Cao Cao gives a combat mission, Coss can do it well. The battlefield is a place of life and death, and no one can predict what kind of unexpected situation will be faced at any time. In addition to a smart brain, a keen sense of smell in the battlefield and a brave fighting spirit, luck is also a very important part. Coss always escaped safely, and the key moment appeared in the key place, which was very efficient.

Coss has excellent military talents. He is very good at defense and often uses weak enemies to strengthen it. Zhou Yu couldn't help him, and he was frustrated in many attacks. Guan Yu can't help him either. He flooded Fancheng, besieged hard, and never got off the stage.

How is Cao Ren's martial arts? He usually leads troops and seldom goes into battle in person. Let's take a look at several battles of Coss, all behind 5 1 in Romance of the Three Kingdoms:

1. In the defense of the Confederate army, Coss' lieutenant Jinniu went out of the city to fight and was surrounded by Wu Jun. Coss saw it on the city and led hundreds of fighters to come to the rescue. "Xu Sheng fought but couldn't resist", and Cao Ren broke into the encirclement and saved the Taurus;

2. Cao Ren broke through Taurus. On the way, Wu stopped Jiang Qin. "Coss and Taurus struggled to break through" (considering that Taurus was besieged and injured, Coss should be the main fighting force);

3. Yiling was captured by Wu Jun, and Zhou surrounded the Confederate army. Coss led the troops to war, and Zhou Tai came to meet him with a knife. "Fighting for more than ten times and losing" (this is a trick to lure the enemy against encirclement and suppression).

Then came Cao Ren's performance in the Third World War. To be sure, Coss' martial arts must be far above that of general Xu Sheng.

In the fifth episode of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Coss and his younger brother Cao Hong went to Chenliu to go to Cao Cao for the first time, the book said that "they are proficient in martial arts" and both brothers are good at martial arts. However, we can see that after Xiahou Brothers defected to Cao Cao, Xia Houdun always took the lead. Before the eye injury, his younger brother Xia had no record of one-on-one combat (only participated in the battle of Wei Ou and Lu Bu in Puyang City), which showed that his martial arts was higher than Xia's and he always took care of him. Coss and Cao Hong are completely different. Cao Hong, the younger brother, always fights, while Coss seldom fights, which shows that Coss' fighting skill is not as good as Cao Hong's.

In Chapter 36 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Coss was defeated by Xu Shu, attacked Liu Bei's camp at night and was ambushed. "Zhao Yun killed the future", and Coss hurriedly fled to the river and met Zhang Fei. "Coss fought to the death, and Li Dian protected Coss from getting off the boat and crossing the river"; In the 73rd episode of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the battle of Xiangyang, Guan Yu lured the enemy out of the city and ambushed him halfway. Guan Yu immediately stopped Coss' way. Coss was so frightened that he dared not go to war and fled obliquely. This also shows that the gap between Cao Ren and Shu Han Five Tigers is quite huge.

It can be inferred that Coss' martial arts is a second-rate level at best, which is similar to that of Li Dian and Wen Pin, and far less than that of Xia Houdun, Zhang He and Zhang Liao. However, if Coss faced the Wu Dong camp and easily defeated Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang, there was no problem.
