Why is Lu Bu known as the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms in history, is it because of his brilliant achievements? No!

In history, when Lu Bu was the commander, he lost more than he won.

After Sun Jian defeated Dong Zhuo's main army, Dong Zhuo sent Lü Bu to stay in Luoyang, facing the strong enemy Sun Jian, despite the strength of the city defense, Lü Bu was still defeated and lost Luoyang;

In the defense of Chang'an, Wang Yun trusted the army to Lu Bu to guard Chang'an, Kyoto, and Lu Bu himself actually tried his best, but in the end he still didn't hold it. It is recorded that a month after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Guo's allied army defeated Chang'an, and after the city was broken, Lü Bu also fought with them in street battles, we can imagine how quickly Lü Bu lost the city. At that time, Lu Bu and Guo Yan also had a heads-up under the city, and Lu Bu almost killed Guo Yan, which was the first and probably the only one-on-one fight recorded in the history of the Three Kingdoms. However, Wang Yun, who trusted Lu Bu, eventually died, and the Son of Heaven fell into the hands of the Xiliang army again;

In the battle of Yanzhou with Cao Cao, although Lu Bu originally did not have many troops, his strength had been greatly enhanced after receiving the support of Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others, and Lu Bu was not left behind in the early battle with Cao Cao. However, Lu Bu did not persist in the face of many unfavorable conditions, but Cao Cao persevered, so Lu Bu lost, and still lost to Cao Cao in the situation of taking the lead, and Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and others who believed in him were all killed, and even exterminated;

Although Lü Bu lost to Cao Cao in the Battle of Yanzhou, in terms of performance, Lü Bu can be said to be very good.

After Liu Bei of Xuzhou Mu took in Lü Bu, Lü Bu instead took Xuzhou from Liu Bei when Liu Bei and Yuan Shu were at a stalemate, and relied on a sneak attack on Xuzhou Zhizhi Xiapi;

Later, Liu Bei was driven out of Xuzhou when Liu Bei did not recover his strength, and Liu Bei was forced to take refuge in the Xuchang court;

Lü Bu treacherously broke the contract with Yuan Shu, and indirectly killed Yuan Shu's envoy, causing Yuan Shu to send Zhang Xun to lead a large army to attack, and later Lü Bu used Chen Deng's strategy to reverse Yang Fengcai and finally won a complete victory;

But turning his head to face Zang Ba's fortified city, Lu Bu returned in vain;

When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Lü Bu was defeated in the battle, and even his general Cheng Lian was captured by Cao Cao. In the battle to defend the city, Lü Bu did nothing, and finally gave up hope and surrendered to Cao Cao, resulting in defeat and death.

When Lu Bu was a general, it was also clearly recorded that he participated in the battle of Yangren against Sun Jian, but this battle was defeated by Sun Jian due to internal discord in the Western Liang Army, and Hua Xiong, the general of the Western Liang Army, was also beheaded by Sun Jian.

Later, Lü Bu took refuge in Yuan Shao, and joined forces with Yuan Shao to defeat the Montenegrin army, and contributed a lot, and finally won the victory.

Although there is no clear record of the battle between Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian in the tombs in history, Lu Bu should have followed Dong Zhuo to participate in this battle.

There are records of eight battles in which Lü Bu participated as the commander of one side, of which three won and five lost, and two of which he explicitly participated in as a general, one win and one loss, but it is speculated that there should be one more loss.

And in these battles and wars, Lu Bu did not win in the face of strong enemies such as Sun Jian and Cao Cao, even if he won Liu Bei, it was also by betrayal and sneak attack and military superiority, although it was said that he also won the powerful Yuan Shu, but at that time, there was no Sun Jian, Sun Ce's Yuan Shu group itself The military strength itself was not very strong.

Lu Bu's military level in history is not bad, but it is not very good, basically not much better than Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and others.

Of course, the reason why Lu Bu is considered the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms has little to do with his military level, and there are not many people in history who think that Lu Bu is a top general, and his reputation as the first fierce general is established by the strength of his own force.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is very easy to judge whether the strength of personal force is very good, just look at the level of the general's heads-up, Lu Bu is also recognized by the masses because he was recorded to kill many enemy generals in seconds, as well as the legendary deeds of Lu Bu in the Three Heroes and many strong generals under Cao Cao.

But in real history, the essence of war is not a single fight, but a group fight.

In some tribal or small city-state wars, when neither side can afford massive casualties, it may be necessary to go it alone. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, there were indeed ritual wars in ancient China, but after the Warring States Period, they were gradually replaced by tens of thousands of large corps.

In fact, even Lu Bu and Guo Yan's heads-up may have a reason. Lu Bu betrayed his father and killed his father at that time, he was very looked down upon by those generals of the Xiliang Army, most of the Xiliang people hated Lu Bu to the core, Guo Yan, as an old subordinate of Dong Zhuo, because of his desire for revenge, took the initiative to put forward a heads-up request to Lu Bu It is understandable, and Lu Bu is strong and not afraid, the two may have a fight because of this, this is also the only heads-up incident that I have checked so much information in the Three Kingdoms period, and it is the only heads-up incident that has been clearly recorded.

The fate of a soldier is basically to die on the battlefield, and to take their lives is often a miscellaneous soldier, after all, on the battlefield, there is only the difference between his own companions and the enemy who should be killed. In the large-scale battles of the Three Kingdoms period, such a thing as going it alone basically did not exist, and there was no reason to exist.

Although Lü Bu did not show strong personal force because of repeated heads-up in history, Lü Bu was indeed an extremely strong general, which was also recognized during the Three Kingdoms period.

In history, Dong Zhuo recognized Lu Bu as his righteous son because of his bravery, and let him stay on the left and right; Yuan Shao was also wary of Lu Bu's bravery; Cao Cao even said: "The tiger has to be in a hurry." "Compare Lu Bu to a tiger.

In addition to these three people clearly showing their recognition of Lu Bu's bravery, Ding Yuan, Zhang Miao, Yuan Shu, Zhang Yang and many others also vaguely agreed with this view.

In history, Lu Bu was known as the "flying general" because he was good at riding and shooting, and his strength was outstanding.

After Lu Bu left Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao once sent people to hunt down Lu Bu, but Yuan Shao's soldiers did not dare to approach him because they were afraid of Lu Bu's bravery, and Lu Bu's fierceness can be seen.

In addition, there is also the matter of shooting halberds at Yuanmen, Lu Bu in mediating the war between Yuan Shu and Liu Bei, ordered Menhou to erect a halberd in the camp gate, and then shot a small branch on the halberd with an arrow, fully demonstrating the strength of personal force.

When Xiapi was surrounded by Cao Cao, Lu Bu also tied up his daughter to kill him out of the city at night, and finally returned alive under the rain of arrows.

After Lu Bu, although there were still many fierce generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Sun Ce during the Three Kingdoms period, they could only be said to be close to Lu Bu's level in terms of personal force, and they were basically not on par with Lu Bu.

"Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses" is not just boasting, Lu Bu's personal strength can be said to be the first in the world at that time, but at most it can only be the first fierce general at that time, and Xiang Yu is still incomparable, not to mention the military level, according to historical data, the overlord is also far stronger than Lu Bu in terms of force.

PS: The Red Rabbit Horse is documented in historical sources, but that's about it. The collection has increased so quickly these days, I remember that it was only about 30 two or three days ago, and now it is 60, thank you for your support.
