In the Three Kingdoms, besides the intense battles between the three strongest political groups, Cao Wei, Shu Han and Dong Ngo, the solo battles between fierce generals and top famous generals are also extremely attractive.
With many advantages from a starting point and the recruitment of many talented people, Cao Cao quickly became one of the three strongest forces during the Three Kingdoms period.
Among the fierce generals recruited by Cao Cao, Dien Vi and Hua Chu are two guard generals that this monarch greatly trusts, because they not only have extraordinary health but are also famous for their loyalty.
In particular, Hua Chu was a fierce general who had the opportunity to compete and fight alone with many of the strongest martial generals during this period.
Hua Chu was nicknamed the `Tiger Marquis`, with the intention of comparing his pure strength to that of a wild tiger.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Hua Chu had the opportunity to fight alone with many brave generals such as Dien Vi, Truong Phi, Trieu Van, Ma Sieu… Many of these matches were inconclusive.
In particular, in the battle of Puyang, Hua Chu recklessly fought with Lu Bu, a famous general known as the top leader in the Three Kingdoms.
Hua Chu of course knows his own strength.
However, the question is that, after fighting Lu Bo alone, why did Hua Chu not dare to fight Quan Vu?
Guan Yu was one of the top famous generals in the last years of the Eastern Han and Three Kingdoms dynasties, considered by his contemporaries to have the strength to rival thousands of people, a tiger god at one time, and a national hero.
During his life of fighting alongside Cao Cao for many years, Hua Chu once had the opportunity to fight with Quan Vu.
Accordingly, after suffering heavy defeat from the attack of Cao’s army, Liu Bei had to flee to Hebei to take refuge with Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao ordered Ha Dau Dun to take on the task of luring Guan Yu out of Ha Phi to fight, then ordered Hua Chu and Tu Hoang to join forces to block and attack Quan Vu so that he could lure him into surrender.
The above match showed Quan Vu’s excellent fighting ability.
Hua Chu was extremely brave, not afraid to fight hundreds of rounds with Truong Phi, Ma Sieu, and even had the courage to fight Lu Bo alone, because he had never fought with these people before.
However, Hua Chu did not dare to fight Quan Vu alone for one reason.
That is, he knows how to measure himself.
Before temporarily surrendering to Cao Cao, Guan Yu was in his strongest form.
If a 2-on-1 battle could not defeat Quan Vu, then of course Hua Chu would not dare to risk a single fight with a famous general like Quan Vu.
On the other hand, according to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, during the temporary surrender to Cao Cao, Guan Yu demonstrated great fighting ability when he could easily kill Nhan Luong and Van Xu, two of Yuan Shao’s top generals.
