During the Three Kingdoms era, these three generals spent their entire lives in the military, went through hundreds of battles, and killed countless enemies without suffering any damage. They all lived to be over seventy years old and died well. These three generals are all generals of Shu Han. Who are they?

The first place is the victorious general Zhao Yun. Speaking of him, he is almost a household name, and everyone knows it.

Zhao Yun (? - 229), named Zilong, was born in Zhending, Changshan (now Zhengding, Hebei Province). Eight feet long and majestic in appearance, he was a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period.

Zhao Yun fought on the battlefield throughout his life, whether he was singled out or charging into battle, leading troops to defend, he almost never failed. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" "", he was named one of the "Five Tiger Generals" by Liu Bei, and he was brave enough to win the three armies. The official history "Three Kingdoms" records: Originally belonged to Gongsun, he sent his ancestor Tian Kai to reject Yuan Shao, and Yun Sui followed him, serving as the ancestor's main rider. When the former master was chased by Duke Cao in Dangyang Changban, he abandoned his wife and went south. Yun Shen carried the weak son, who was the queen's master, and protected Mrs. Gan, who was the queen's mistress. All of them were spared.

Zhao Yun initially followed the warlord Gongsun Zan, but later felt that Gongsun Zan was not good enough, so he chose Liu Bei to be Liu Bei's cavalry captain. Later, Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei, and Cao Cao's elite cavalry caught up with Liu Bei at Dangyang Changban. Liu Bei saw that something was not good, so he quickly left his wife and children and ran away. Zhao Yun hugged Liu Bei's children, protected Liu Bei's wife, and finally returned safely. .

The records of this battle in the Three Kingdoms are very brief, but you can imagine how brutal the battle was. The only general, Zhao Yun, was able to protect a woman and child and return safely under the pursuit of thousands of elite cavalry by Cao Cao, which shows Zhao Yun's outstanding bravery. In the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the description is very exciting. Zhao Yun entered and exited seven of Cao Cao's millions of troops, killed more than fifty generals of Cao's army, and rescued Liu Bei's son. This battle made Zhao Yun famous all over the world.

Liu Bei attacked Liu Zhang in Yizhou, and military advisor Pang Tong died in battle. The army encountered obstacles. Zhuge Liang led Zhao Yun and others into Sichuan to fight. When they arrived in Jiangzhou, Zhao Yun was asked to march by water, and he and Zhuge Liang met in Chengdu. Along the way, Zhao Yun performed well.

"Three Kingdoms" records: In the fifth year, he followed Zhuge Liang to station in Hanzhong. Next year, he will show off his army and raise his voice from Xiegu Road. Cao Zhen will send the masses to take charge. Liang ordered Yun and Deng Zhi to resist and attack Qishan. Yun and Zhi's troops were weak and the enemy was strong, so they were defeated in Jigu. However, they gathered their troops and stood firm, preventing a major defeat.

In the fifth year of Jianxing (227 AD), Zhao Yun followed Zhuge Liang to Hanzhong to prepare for the Northern Expedition. The next year (228 AD) ), Zhuge Liang sent troops to the Northern Expedition, announcing that troops would be sent from Xiegudao, and ordered Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi to serve as suspected troops and occupy Jigu. Wei was very afraid and sent General Cao Zhen to lead an army to block it. Zhuge Liang ordered Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi to block Cao's army at Xiegudao. When he led the main force of the Shu army to attack Qishan, Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi were defeated in Jigu because of their small number of troops and too many enemy troops. However, Zhao Yun gathered his troops and defended Jigu without causing any major losses.

In the seventh year of Jianxing (229 AD), Zhao Yun died of illness. Zhao Yun probably lived more than seventy years from following Gongsun Zan in his early days to Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. A famous general of a generation, with numerous meritorious deeds, his name will go down in history, and he will be talked about through the ages.

The second place is Liao Hua. Speaking of Liao Hua, there is a famous saying that there are no generals in Sichuan, so Liao Hua is the pioneer.

Liao Hua (?-264), courtesy name Yuanjian, was a native of Zhonglu County, Xiangyang County, Jingzhou (now Xiangyang City, Hubei Province). He was a general of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period.

Liao Hua was Guan Yu's chief clerk at first. Guan Yu lost Jingzhou carelessly and was defeated and killed. Liao Hua was assigned to Sun Wu. When he arrived in Soochow, Liao Hua missed the Shu Han day and night. Later, he used a trick to cheat his death and finally returned to the Shu Han. At that time, Liu Bei was launching an army to attack Wu, and he met Liu Bei in Zigui, Liao Hua. Liu Bei was very happy to see Liao Hua and made Liao Hua the governor of Yidu.

"Three Kingdoms" records: He was the former general Guan Yu in charge of the book. Yu was defeated and belonged to Wu.

He wanted to return to his late master, but he was cheating his death. People at that time said he believed it, because he carried his old mother and traveled westward day and night. Huixian led the eastern expedition and met Zigui. The late Lord was overjoyed and made Yihua the prefect of Yidu.

Liao Hua yearned for him day and night and returned to Shuhan. He adopted a strategy of cheating death and deceived many people. Then he took his old mother to the west day and night. You can imagine how shocking this was! Liao Hua not only left by himself, but also took his old mother with him. He must have had difficulty moving. How difficult was it to live in the open during a time of war and evade the enemy's strict investigation? His heroic feats are astonishing.

Later, Liu Bei defeated Baidi City and asked Zhuge Liang to support him. After Liu Bei's death, Liao Hua became prime minister and joined the army. Later, he became the governor of Guangwu and the prefect of Yinping County.

In the autumn of the fifth year of Jingyao (262), Jiang Wei led his troops to the Northern Expedition. Liao Hua said: "If you don't restrain your troops, you will definitely suffer the consequences." He was talking about Boyue (Jiang Wei's word). . His intelligence was not greater than that of his enemy, but his strength was not satisfactory. How could he survive? Jiang Wei refused to listen. As expected, Jiang Wei was defeated by Deng Ai in October of the same year.

After the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty, Liao Hua moved to Luoyang and died of illness on the way. In the fourth year of Jingyao (261), when Liao Hua passed by to visit Zong Yu, Zong Yu once said: "We are over seventy years old." It is speculated that Liao Hua was probably. He lived for more than seventy years.

As a general of the late Shu Han Dynasty, Liao Hua participated in the Northern Expedition many times and experienced many battles. However, he did not die on the battlefield and had a good ending.

The third one is Deng Zhi. When it comes to Deng Zhi, many people may be unfamiliar with him. He was the one who served as a suspect in Jigu with Zhao Yun and blocked Cao Wei's army.

Deng Zhi (?— 251), born in Xinye, Yiyang (now Xinye, Henan). After the famous general Deng Yu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was an important minister of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period.

Although Deng Zhi was the successor of Deng Yu, a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, no one knew how to use him, and there was no Bole in Qianlima. In 214 AD (the 19th year of Jian'an), Liu Bei entered Yizhou. At that time, Deng Zhi was in Picheng. One day, Liu Bei passed by Picheng and saw Deng Zhi. After talking to him, he was very surprised, so he immediately promoted him to the post of Piling and later to the prefect of Guanghan.

In 228 AD (the sixth year of Jianxing). , Zhuge Liang prepared for the Northern Expedition, stationed in Hanzhong, appointed Deng Zhi as the Central Supervisor of the Army and General Yangwu, and used Zhao Yun as a suspect to attract the main force of the Wei State led by Cao Zhen, and stalemate with them.

Later, because Ma Di lost the street pavilion. , Deng Zhi and Zhao Yun's army were attacked by Cao Cao's forces. Fortunately, Zhao Yun personally blocked the rear and gathered the troops to defend, so they were not defeated and finally retreated safely.

"Three Kingdoms" records: In the eleventh year, The people of Fuling killed the captain and rebelled. Zhi led his army to conquer, and the people were blocked.

In the eleventh year of Yanxi (AD 248), the people of Fuling killed the captain. After the rebellion, Deng Zhi led an army to conquer and beheaded his commander, so that the people could live in peace.

"Three Kingdoms" records: Zhi was a general for more than 20 years, making clear decisions about rewards and punishments, and being kind to his soldiers. He depended on his officials for food and clothing, but he was frugal and frugal, and his wife was left hungry and cold. When he died, his family had no money left. Noble, but different from Jiang Weiyun.

Deng Zhi has been a general for more than 20 years, and he treats his soldiers well. He is an honest official and lives a simple life. He had little money and was very difficult. His wife was even hungry and cold. When Deng Zhi died, his family had no extra property. He made friends with Jiang Wei, and he didn't have much respect for the people at that time. He only respected Jiang Wei.

It is recorded in "Three Kingdoms" that Deng Zhi was accused by Zong Yu of not giving up military power even after he was seventy years old. Therefore, it can be speculated that Deng Zhi lived more than seventy years old. After more than 20 years as a general, he finally died a happy death.
