Is Lu Bu's character in history really as bad as in the novel?

Lu Bu has not fought against Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, etc., so it is difficult to say whether he is invincible or not. During the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, generals were often described as Guan and Zhang Zhiyong, but few people used Lu Bu as a metaphor.

The Eastern Han Dynasty promoted filial piety and integrity as officials, but Lu Bu became an official because of his bravery. What is this concept? It was very difficult for the three heroes to fight Lu Bu. The author described him as if he was in a deserted state among thousands of troops, which shows how powerful he was! Zhang Fei faced tens of thousands of enemies in three miles, and Guan Yu was also described as being in a deserted battlefield (Liu Bei was a partner). During the entire Three Kingdoms period, there were only two people who stood out as officials with bravery, one was Lu Bu and the other was Sun Jian.

One-on-one combat between generals best reflects their extraordinary military power. In a duel rarely seen in official history, Guan Yu relied on a surprise attack to kill Yan Liang, but the opponent was three people with superb martial arts. Faced with this situation, Lu Bu could not sustain it alone. After fighting for a period of time, it gradually became apparent In a state of being unable to parry, he suddenly attacked Liu Bei at this moment, and Pang De injured Guan Yu with an arrow, which was not his true skill. The battle between Lu Bu and Guo Bang was indeed a real battle of force.

But these are all made up by Luo Guanzhong, and there is no such thing at all. Besides, ancient wars were fought by regiments. Lu Bu's character is unsightly. He could kill his adoptive father in order to get promoted. You can also kill the benefactor who promoted you, kill Dong Zhuo by killing Ding Yuan, and be named Marquis Wen at a young age with no background. The general will be the main commander, and charging into the battle is a matter for soldiers, let alone two people fighting for dozens of rounds. This is simply a joke.

But it was unsuccessful. Later Yuan Shao ordered a pursuit, but these soldiers did not dare to approach because they were afraid of Lu Bu. Yan has more than 10,000 elite soldiers, riding thousands of Bu Chang's fine horses, named Red Tu, which can gallop through the city and fly into the trenches. With their general Cheng Lian, Wei Yue and other dozens of riders galloped into the Yan formation, beheading them all on one day or three or four. And out. From here, it is not difficult to see that Lu Bu indeed deserves the title of General Flying, and his bravery is well-deserved.
