Speaking of martial arts generals of the Three Kingdoms period, it is impossible not to mention Luu Be, Quan Vu, and Truong Phi. Luu Bei was benevolent and perfect, intelligent and intelligent, from a shoe seller to earn a living, step by step established the Shu Kingdom, leaving a story passed down for posterity to discuss.
Quan Vu is honored as the Martial Saint, holding the Thanh Long Yen Nguyet Dao to swing horizontally and vertically. However, the impression of people on Truong Phi is rude, without composure.
But according to the expression of the Three Kingdoms, Truong Phi’s martial arts are equivalent to Quan Vu. But who follows the Three Kingdoms knows that Truong Phi was from a commoner background, a butcher (doing a job of killing pigs), why is martial arts so powerful? There are three main reasons:
1. Truong Phi’s childhood
Before meeting Luu Bei and Quan Vu, Truong Phi worked as a pig slaughterer, a genuine butcher. But butcher is not a profession that everyone can do, must know that a pig can weigh up to 100kg. The butcher needs to use his strength to control the pig. Thanks to this situation, Zhang Fei has cultivated strong energy.
According to historical records, Truong Phi might carry more than 1 quintal of pork, walk like flying, and master knife skills. So when he joined the army, this experience helped Truong Phi like a tiger add wings.
Moreover, Truong Phi not only has strength, but also has a background in martial arts. The generations of the Truong Phi family all worked as butchers, their economic conditions were higher than that of ordinary families. From a young age, he loved to practice martial arts, worshiped a 70-year-old master to learn martial arts, martial arts was instilled in his blood and improved over the years.
2. Experience accumulated in real combat
Truong Phi and Luu Bei and Quan Vu fought Lu Bo, participated in the battle of Xich Bich, the battle of Han Trung … the most special battle was the battle of Truong Ban.
When it comes to the Battle of Truong Ban, the first impression of many people is that Trieu Van single-handedly saved the young lord (Luu Thien, the son of Luu Bei). But actually, Truong Phi’s performance in this battle was not inferior to Trieu Van.
At that time, Truong Phi served Luu Bei’s orders to support Trieu Van, when he went with only 20 soldiers, but facing Truong Phi was several tens of thousands of Cao Cao’s army. But it can also make Cao Cao say the sentence “cannot be underestimated”.
People often know the ranking of strong generals in the Three Kingdoms as follows: “Nhat Lu Nhi Trieu Tam Dien Vi, Four Quan Five Ma Luc Truong Phi”.
Zhang Fei was ranked last, is your strength so poor?
We can see that Truong Phi’s strength is not trivial in 3 battles.
First, Truong Phi beat Truong Lieu, Truong Lieu’s strength might not be underestimated, but following only 20 rounds, he was defeated by Truong Phi.
Second, following the Great War of Chich Bich, Truong Phi served the command to station in Hoa Dung Dao, facing the siege of three people Hua Chu, Truong Lieu, Tu Hoang, Truong Phi leisurely and calmly, fought the battle extremely bravely. horizontal.
Although at that time the three generals of Wei Kingdom only wanted to support Cao Cao to escape, not to fight Zhang Fei to death, but following a few rounds, they discovered that their combined forces might not do anything to Zhang Fei.
The final battle is the battle with Truong Cap. Zhang Fei was ordered to station troops at Ngokou Pass, Cao’s army sent Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, and Zhang He to launch an attack on Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei only used less than an hour to destroy Cao’s army.
Therefore, it can be seen that Truong Phi as a strong general of the Three Kingdoms is not a fictitious name.
3. Beside Truong Phi, there are Liu Bei and Guan Yu
Zhang Fei was able to achieve these glories in part thanks to Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
Truong Phi’s intelligence is not equal to Luu Bei’s, nor is Guan Yu’s a little bit less loyal. We all know that many generals are stronger than Truong Phi, such as Lu Bu, but unfortunately do not know who to follow, in the end they still die tragically under Cao Cao’s knife.
If placed under Cao Cao, Truong Phi can at most be considered an ordinary martial general, not being used.
Cao Cao is famous for “I’d rather I help people in the world, don’t let people side with me”, and Liu Bei is “brothers are like limbs, wives are like overalls”.
Thereby, it can be seen that Truong Phi can become a strong general of the Three Kingdoms, and Luu Bei contributes a great deal.
But Truong Phi has a fatal flaw, which is impulsive and rude. Liu Bei also repeatedly advised Truong Phi to correct this bad habit, but unfortunately he did not listen. In the end, because of some trivial conflicts with subordinates, Truong Phi was killed in the middle of the third night by his subordinates, and died because of his rudeness.
