Personally, I believe that war is bound to kill people, the generals are no more than the death of the front plus no healer during the war ?
The five tigers of Shu under the generals of the eight vice generals, all valor, but all die a miserable death.
The Three Kingdoms period, is a magnificent era, but also heroes and aspirants aspire to the era, but also people warm water and food. Look at the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", everywhere is a beacon battlefield, tongues of fire forests, lying on the corpses of crying children
In the three kingdoms, Shu Han's overall strength is the lowest. However, he was able to survive Wei and Wu, there must be something unusual. The generals of the pre-Shu Han period were talented and highly skilled in martial arts. There were not only Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, but also the courageous Huang Zhong and Zhao Zi Long
However, when we carefully organize the biographies of these generals, we can find that most of them died in battle and a few of them died of illness.
So, why did these generals with outstanding martial arts skills and known as The Historian have such a bad ending?
First, war inevitably kills. Battles are not only about individual ingenuity and bravery, but also about the comprehensive strength of the country. Of the three kingdoms, Shu had the weakest overall strength, with its military force supported only by the five tiger generals and some deputy generals. In the late period of Shu, the situation of the middle-level generals was even worse, which was the main reason for the gradual weakening of Shu.
The battlefield, unless you don't touch it, once you encounter it, you have to ignore your life and death. No matter how brave and smart you are, if you often walk by the river, there will be no wet shoes. As long as people count you carefully, when you're not careful, you'll fall into a pit. He was either killed by a random arrow, captured in a trap, or killed in a battle.
So, no matter how brave the five generals and eight vice generals were, there came a time when they were old and had less energy. As long as they are present on the battlefield, the probability of death will be just as high.
The second is that the tiles do not leave the well, and all the officers and soldiers are sacrificed before the battle. To be a general, one must have the courage to fight, be good at fighting strategy, and lead by example. The ancients preached? Ride the momentum, then decline, three times exhausted? In ancient times, there were no advanced communication devices. Pre-war communications depended on heralds and heraldic flags. The direction of the commander-in-chief's flag was the central army, which was the general's direction. Therefore, when many officers and soldiers see the Commander-in-Chief's flag keep fluttering in the wind, they feel that the general is not afraid to die and keep in front of the enemy, and they will have a hot, courageous value to soar to the sky. At the same time, we can also see that when the commander-in-chief's flag is cut down and the general escapes, the whole army will immediately collapse and scatter.
Therefore, in ancient times, the only famous generals who could become generals, besides those who spent money on them, were those who took the lead in battle. And such generals fought all year round, and there must have been certain battles to count, in which they were killed in action.
Third, doctors are hard to find. In ancient times, there was no perfect medical soldier or medic. When someone was injured in the army, they could not get the best treatment in time. This is also related to ancient medical technology. In ancient times, medical technology was usually in the hands of specific people who only accepted one or two apprentices to teach and carry on the mantle. In the event of an accident to a teacher or apprentice, it made sense that these techniques would fail and disappear.
And, the doctors who represented the highest level of medical skill in each dynasty were often concentrated in the hands of the royal family, who called them ? imperial physicians? As a result, when ordinary people were seriously ill and wanted to be treated, they were not invited at all. As a result, ancient stories about ? sickness and death? were recorded in a few accounts. Among the five tiger generals, Zhao Yun was probably the only one of normal age, and the vice generals were probably Yan Yan and Ma Dai.
War, therefore, is not only a struggle between the enemy and us, but also a struggle between life and death. As a general, to be able to fight on the battlefield and return to the army in a suit of clothes is perhaps the biggest and best destination!!!!
