How to evaluate Zhang Miao of the Three Kingdoms? The evaluation of Zhang Liao of the Three Kingdoms

Eastern han dynasty**. The word Meng Zhuo. Dongping Shouzhang (now Yanggu) people.

When he was young, he was known for his chivalry, his family was wealthy, he was sparse and righteous, he made friends, and he had contacts with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and had a close relationship. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he dared to stand up and criticize the eunuch group, and was rated as one of the "Eight Kitchens" by the world. During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he was first appointed as a cavalry captain, and later promoted to Chen Liutaishou.

In the first year of Zhaoning (189), Dong Zhuo usurped power, and he plotted with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others to raise an army to fight. The following year, Dong Zhuo moved west, Cao Cao led his army alone to pursue Dong Zhuo, Zhang Miao mobilized all his forces to follow Cao Cao, fought in Bianshui, and was defeated by Dong Zhuo. Later, Cao Cao proposed a specific strategy to the Kwantung Heroes to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but the Kwantung Heroes did not, and Zhang Miao did not support Cao Cao.

After Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, he was arrogant and reckless, Cao Cao and Bao Xin were very dissatisfied with this, but they did not dare to say it clearly, only Zhang Miao condemned Yuan Shao with righteous words. Yuan Shao was furious, and Cao Cao was the pastor of Yanzhou at that time, and he was the superior of Zhang Miao, who was the Taishou of Chen at the time. Therefore, Yuan Shao instructed Cao Cao to kill Zhang Miao, but Cao Cao had a deep friendship with Zhang Miao, so he refused, and Zhang Miao was very grateful.

In the fourth year of Chuping (193), Cao Cao went on his first expedition to Tao Qian and said to his family: "If I can't come back, you will rely on Zhang Mengzhuo." When Cao Cao returned, he saw Zhang Miao and wept with him. After that, Zhang Miao befriended Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao hated him very much when he heard about it.

In the first year of Xingping (194), Cao Cao went on his second expedition to Tao Qian. Previously, Cao Cao executed the famous scholar Bian Rang for personal vendetta, and then executed more than 300 members of Bian Rang's family. Zhang Miao was very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's cruel methods, so he always feared that Cao Cao would one day be forced to listen to Yuan Shao's words and kill himself, so he followed the advice of his brother Zhang Chao and Chen Gong to rebel against Cao Cao and welcome Lü Bu as the pastor of Yanzhou.

Lü Bu occupied Puyang, and the counties under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou were all subordinated to Shun except for Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fan counties.

The following year, Lü Bu was defeated by Cao Cao, and Zhang Miao defected to Liu Bei with Lü Bu. His brother Zhang Chao escorted the family to Yongqiu, and was finally exterminated by Cao Cao. Zhang Miao asked Yuan Shu for help, but was killed by his subordinates on the way.

Maybe the Zhang Miao we know is a supporting role in order to highlight Cao Cao's treachery, in ** "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhang Miao is Chen Liutaishou, the prince of the sixth town who crusaded against Dong Zhuo. was originally friends with Cao Cao, but after being persuaded by Chen Gong, he betrayed Cao Cao. persuaded Lü Bu to attack Yanzhou, and after many battles with Cao Cao, he defected to Yuan Shu after defeat.

To quote Churchill in the United States, "America has no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only eternal interests." "In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, you can neither set up too many enemies, nor can you let too many friends become a burden to you, and Zhang Miao's mistake is that he gave up the friends who have known each other for many years, and chose a Lu Bu with wolf ambitions that all the princes of the world can see clearly!

At the beginning, he followed Lu Bu as one of the eight strong generals of Lu Bu, and later followed Cao Cao as the head of the five good generals of Cao Wei (Zhang Liao, Zhang Jaw, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Le Jin).

The most representative battle was in Hefei with 800 troops to defeat Sun Quan's 100,000 people.

One of the best generals in the Three Kingdoms (Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Wei Yan).

Cao Ying's first wise and brave general.

After the destruction of Lu Bu, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, he surrendered to Cao Cao The Battle of Guandu The Battle of Chibi The Battle of Chibi Xiaoxukou Xiaoyaojin made many military exploits After the Battle of Chibi, he was ordered to defend Hefei to prevent Wu from advancing northward He once repelled 100,000 Wu troops with 500 soldiers in Hefei Won the trust and reuse of Cao Cao He was a famous general with both wisdom and courage during the Three Kingdoms period.

Zheng Tai: "Zhang Mengzhuo Dongping is an elder, and he can't sit in the hall. ”

Xu Zhong: "Yuan, Cao Fangmu, sandwiched the royal family, Lu Bu is repeatedly unrighteous and aims to rebel against chaos, and Miao and Chao are good at Libu as a state pastor, and they are a sinner in the royal law." ”

Chen Shou's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": "Less chivalrous news, rejuvenate the poor and save the emergency, the family has no love, and the more people return." "The Guangwu of the former Han Dynasty was wrong to Pang Meng, and the Taizu of the near Wei Dynasty was also hidden by the stupid oak scum Zhang Miao. Knowing people is philosopherical, only the emperor is difficult, believe! ”

Fan Ye's "Book of the Later Han Dynasty": "Du Shang, Zhang Miao, Wang Kao, Liu Ru, Hu Muban, Qin Zhou, Dai Quiet Fan Xiang, and Wang Zhang are the 'Eight Chefs'. The cook, the one who can save people with money. ”
