Zhang Fei Zhang Fei (?-221), named Yide, was born in Zhuojun (now Zhuoxian County, Hebei Province) and was a famous general of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period.
A famous general of Shu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.
The word Yide.
A native of Zhuojun (now Zhuoxian County, Hebei Province).
In his early years, he followed Liu Bei with Guan Yu, participated in the annexation war, and became the commander of another department. The three of them were brothers.
Liu Bei defeated Lu Bu from Cao Cao, and Zhang Fei worshiped the general Zhonglang for his merit.
Liu Bei followed Yuan Shao, and when Shao was defeated, he attached himself to Liu Biao.
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou southward and pursued Liu Bei in Dangyang Changban (now northeast of Dangyang, Hubei).
Liu Bei was defeated and Zhang Fei led more than 20 people to the rear. No one dared to approach Cao Cao, and Guan Yu was both known as the "enemy of ten thousand people".
After the Battle of Chibi, he moved to Yidu to be the governor and general of the conquest.
Liu Bei led his army into Shu and turned against Liu Zhang. Zhang Fei followed Zhuge Liang from Jingzhou to the west for support and captured Liu Zhang's general Yan Yan. He handled it properly and achieved victory.
Since Yizhou was at peace, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, and Guan Yu were awarded the same merits.
In the 20th year of Jian'an, he became the governor of Brazil.
Cao Cao sent General Zhang to attack Brazil and held a stalemate with Zhang Fei for more than fifty days.
Later, Zhang Fei led more than 10,000 elite soldiers to attack Zhang and defeated him.
Brazil is stable.
After Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, Zhang Feile was promoted to general of chariots and cavalry, led by Sili Xiaowei, and was granted the title of Marquis of Xixiang.
In the first year of Zhangwu (221), Liu Bei attacked Wu from the east and was assassinated by his subordinates before he was sent.
When Zhang Fei was young, he followed Liu Bei with Guan Yu.
Guan Yu was several years older than Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei treated him like an elder brother.
Liu Bei was appointed Pingyuan Prime Minister, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were appointed commanders of other departments to command the troops.
Later, Tao Qian, the shepherd of Xuzhou, was seriously ill and said to his subordinate Mi Zhu: "Without Liu Bei, this state cannot be settled" ("Three Kingdoms, Book of Shu, Biography of the First Lord").
After Tao Qian died, Mi Zhu led the Xuzhou people to meet Liu Bei.
Liu Bei repeatedly gave in and took over Xuzhou.
In the first year of Jian'an (196), Yuan Shu attacked Liu Bei and fought for Xuzhou.
Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to guard Xiapi, while he sent troops to resist Yuan Shu in Xuyi and Huaiyin. The two sides were in a stalemate for more than a month, with each other winning or losing.
Cao Bao, the Prime Minister of Xia Pi, was Tao Qian's old subordinate. He was at odds with Zhang Fei and was killed by Zhang Fei. As a result, everyone in the city was in danger and was in chaos.
At that time, Yuan Shu wrote to Lu Bu, urging him to take the opportunity to attack Xia Pi, and promised to assist Lu Bu with food and grass after the incident was completed.
Lu Bu was very happy and led his army.
Liu Bei's lieutenant general Xu Dan opened the door and surrendered, and Zhang Fei was defeated.
Lu Bu captured Liu Bei's wife, children, and the generals' families.
Due to the situation, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei had no choice but to temporarily rely on Lu Bu and garrison Xiaopei.
Lu Bu returned Liu Bei's wife and children.
Liu Bei was stationed in Xiaopei and developed rapidly. Soon he gathered more than ten thousand people. Lu Bu was uneasy and led an attack. Liu Bei had no choice but to take Zhang Fei and others to defect to Cao Cao and join forces with Cao Cao to defeat Lu Bu.
Then, he followed Cao Cao to Xuchang, where Cao Cao worshiped Zhang Fei as Zhonglang General.
Liu Bei turned his back on Cao Cao and attached himself to Yuan Shao and Liu Biao successively.
From the sixth to the thirteenth year of Jian'an (201-208), Liu Bei devoted himself to recruiting talents and expanding his military strength in these eight years.
Especially in the twelfth year of Jian'an (207), he "visited the thatched cottage three times" and invited the extremely talented Zhuge Liang.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were unhappy when they saw the increasingly close relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.
After Liu Bei noticed it, he severely criticized him and Guan Yu, saying: "A solitary person has Kongming, just like a fish has water. I hope you will not say anything more" ("Three Kingdoms·Shu·Zhuge Liang Biography").
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei no longer expressed any objection.
Liu Biao died, Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, and Liu Bei led his people across the river.
Cao Cao led 3,000 elite cavalry to march day and night, marching 300 miles a day and night, and caught up with Liu Bei at Changban Dangyang (now northeast of Dangyang County, Hubei Province).
When Liu Bei heard about Cao's arrival, he was caught off guard and fled, abandoning his wife and children.
The tribe dispersed.
Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to lead 20 cavalry to the rear.
Zhang Fei waited for Liu Bei to cross the river and broke the bridge according to the water.
When Cao's soldiers chased him, Zhang Fei raised his spear and shouted: "I am Zhang Yide, can I come here to fight to the death" ("Three Kingdoms·Shu·Biography of Zhang Fei")?
The sound is like a huge thunder.
When Cao Jun heard this, no one dared to approach, so Liu Bei and others were spared.
Luo Guanzhong quoted a poem in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to praise: "The murderous spirit at the Changban Bridge, the cross-fired spears immediately widened the eyes. The sound was like a thunder, and Cao's millions of soldiers were retreated." After Liu Bei pacified the Jiangnan area, he appointed Zhang Fei as the general.
The governor of Yidu and the general of Zhenglu named him Xintinghou.
Later, he was transferred to Nanjun.
Liu Bei entered Yizhou, returned to attack Liu Zhang, and surrounded Luocheng.
In the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213), Liu Bei besieged Luocheng for a year but failed to defeat it. Pang Tong, the military advisor, was shot to death by a stray arrow.
Liu Bei asked Fazheng to write a letter urging Liu Zhang to surrender, but Liu Zhang ignored him.
In the 19th year (214), Zhuge Liang left Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou, and led his army upstream to Shu with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to reinforce Liu Bei.
Zhang Fei traveled from Badong (today's Fengjie East, Sichuan) to Jiangzhou (today's Chongqing).
Yan Yan, the governor of Bajun, was both wise and brave.
When Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei to come to Sichuan, he sighed inwardly, saying that this would be like sitting alone on a barren mountain and luring a tiger to defend himself.
This time when Zhang Fei's troops came, he took advantage of the dangers and occupied the city, guarding it tightly and refusing to surrender.
Zhang Fei used a clever strategy to capture Yan Yan, the governor of Bajun.
Zhang Fei scolded Yan Yan: "The army is coming, why don't you surrender and dare to resist the war?" Yan Yan showed no fear at all, and reprimanded Zhang Fei: "You have no reason to invade our state. There is only a beheaded general in our state, but there is no one."
Surrender the general." When Zhang Fei heard this, he was furious and ordered Yan Yan to be pushed out and beheaded.
Yan Yan's face did not change, his expression was calm, and he said: "Just chop off your head, what is the evil of anger?" Zhang Fei saw Yan Yan's majestic voice, personally untied her restraints, treated her as a distinguished guest, and Yan Yan surrendered.
Afterwards, the troops were divided into two groups: Zhao Yun was on the left, and went down to Jiangyang (now Luzhou, Sichuan) and Jianwei (now east of Pengshan, Sichuan); Zhang Fei was on the right, and captured Brazil (now Langzhong, Sichuan) and Deyang (southeast of today's Suining, Sichuan).
