Huang Zhong showed his prowess in his sixties. When he was young, which famous general was beaten by him so that he did not dare to stand out?

The age of Huang Zhong, the later general of the Shu Han Dynasty and the Marquis of Guannei, has always been a mystery. His resume fourteen years ago in Jian'an is basically blank. The record of Huang Zhong's early experience in "Three Kingdoms" is also very simple: " Huang Zhong, courtesy name Hansheng, was born in Nanyang. Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, assumed the position of General Zhonglang. He and Biao followed Zipan to guard You County in Changsha. When Cao Gong conquered Jingzhou, he returned to his old post and was assigned to guard Han in Changsha. Xuan. The First Lord ordered the counties south, and Zhongsui pledged them."

This means that Huang Zhong was not only loyal to Jingzhou Liu Biao or Han Xuan, his partner or superior at the beginning was Liu Biao's nephew. Pan, he also surrendered to Cao Cao before following Han Xuan to surrender to Liu Bei.

Huang Zhong stood out after joining Liu Bei: "Zhongchang was the first to enter the battle, and his bravery was the best among the three armies. In the 24th year of Jian'an, he attacked Xiahou Yuan at Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong."

Huang Zhong is undoubtedly a brave general, and he must be not young, so Guan Yu said disdainfully: "A real man will never associate with an old soldier."

Guan Yu's words can almost deny Changsha War: If they had fought sympathetically and spared each other's lives, Guan Yu would have no right or reason to look down on Huang Zhong.

Regardless of whether the Battle of Changsha is fictitious or real, it is an indisputable fact that Huang Zhong became a late bloomer. This cannot help but make me have this question: Huang Zhong did not show his prowess until he was in his sixties. When he was young, Which famous general is so intimidated that he dares not show his face? Can the famous general who can intimidate Huang Zhong defeat Guan Yu?

If we only look at the official history of the Three Kingdoms, we will find that there is really one famous general of the Three Kingdoms who can intimidate Huang Zhong and Guan Yu. He is the top general of Soochow, ranked second to Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Meng in "Three Kingdoms" Lu Xun and Jiang represented Donglai Taishi Ci before the twelve tiger ministers.

Our topic today is to take a look at the intersection of Taishi Ci, Huang Zhong and Guan Yu according to the timeline of "Three Kingdoms".

Readers all know that Huang Zhong followed Liu Pan in the beginning. This Liu Pan was also a ruthless character who once gave Sun Ce and Sun Quan headaches: "Liu Biao followed Zi Pan and was so brave that he was counted among the bandits. Ai and Xi'an (both belong to Yuzhang County, respectively in today's Xiushui County and Wuning County, Jiangxi Province) counties.

Huang Zhong was Liu Pan's partner or general, so Liu Pan invaded Soochow territory. Huang Zhong must participate in the coordination.

Because Liu Pan was difficult to deal with, Sun Ce and Sun Quan always asked Donglai Taishi Ci to personally take action: "Ce then divided the counties of Haizhen and Jianchang into six counties, and appointed Ci as the captain of Jianchang and governed Haizhen. , and supervised the generals to resist Pan, and Pan was no longer a bandit. Sun Quan took charge of the affairs, and used his kindness to control Pan, and then entrusted the affairs of the south. "

According to the records of "Three Kingdoms", Donglai Taishi Ci. He was Liu Pan's nemesis. According to the rules of compiling history, both warring parties only write the names of the main generals. Huang Zhong, who was not the main general, did not need to be recorded how many times he was defeated by Taishi Ci.

In any case, Huang Zhong and Liu Pan used Changsha You County (today also called You County, under the jurisdiction of Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province) as their base to invade Ai County and Xi'an County. When Taishi Ci came, they both It stopped.

Taishi Ci did not participate in the Battle of Chibi. He died in the eleventh year of Jian'an. Of course, he would not be shot to death by Zhang Liao's random arrows in the Battle of Hefei - the time does not match up.

According to official historical records, Taishi Ci only beat Liu Pan so that he did not dare to stand out, but had no dealings with Guan Yu and Zhang Liao. However, we can analyze it based on relevant historical records: If Guan Yu was in Jingzhou When he was young, he also followed Liu Pan and Huang Zhong to fight Taishi Ci. So who will win in the end?

Readers are familiar with Guan Yu's martial arts and achievements, and I know them by heart. If I say too much, it will be nonsense, so let's take a look at Tai Shici's performance next.

Taishi Ci was a big, skilled archer: "Ci was seven feet and seven inches long, with a beautiful beard and beard, and his ape-like arms were good at shooting, and his strings were straight.

"

Taishi Ci once nailed the enemy's hand to the city gate tower with an arrow. This incident was recorded and described in "Three Kingdoms" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". There was also a funny scene at that time : Taishi Ci showed off his magic arrow skills, and both the enemy and us applauded at the same time. The scolder who was penetrated on the back of his hand was probably crying.

Taishi Ci was also a young man who dared to compete with Jiangdong. The warriors challenged by the overlord Sun Ce: "Ce followed and rode thirteen, all of them Han Dang, Song Qian, and Huang Gai. Ci then fought forward and countered Zheng with Ce. When he stabbed Ci's horse, he got Ci's neck and carried a halberd, and Ci also got Ci's horse in his pocket. "

From this record in "Three Kingdoms", we can imagine how fierce the fight was at that time, and both sides must have rolled off their saddles and fell off their horses, hugging each other and playing at each other's horns.

Based on this, it is not surprising that Taishi Ci was courageous, superb in martial arts, and superb in archery. He was able to intimidate Liu Pan and Huang Zhong.

So we decided. I can't help but feel a sweat for the martial arts saint Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang: Guan Yu is indeed one of the best brave generals in the official history of the Three Kingdoms, but he has a shortcoming, that is, he is often hit by arrows. In addition to being hit by a poisonous arrow in his arm, he was also hit by Pound. An arrow hit his forehead (the arrow hit the forehead). If he had a duel with the master archer Tai Shici, he would probably be injured.

Taishi Ci was so frightened that Liu Pan and Huang Zhong did not dare to take a step further. We can draw a conclusion from the analysis of historical data, but it is difficult to compare who is more powerful, Guan Yu or Taishi Ci.

Guan Yu in the official history is very powerful, and he can kill Yan Liang in an army of ten thousand horses. On the other hand, Taishi Ci in the official history is also very powerful. He can challenge Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, and most of the twelve tiger ministers of Jiangbiao. This shows that his ability is one of the best in Soochow.

< p> The author can't find the answer, so I can only ask readers: If the martial saint Guan Yu and Donglai Taishi Ci had a fair fight, who would win the final victory? Based on "Three Kingdoms" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" respectively, who would win? Wouldn't it lead to a different conclusion?
