Cao Cao had five sons, Liu Had Five Tiger Generals, and Sun Quan had The Twelve Tiger Lords of Jiangdong!
As an entrepreneurial boss who fights the world, he must have several fierce generals. In the process of establishing the Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Bei's generals of the Five Tigers can be said to have made great achievements.
It is well known that Liu had five tiger generals, namely Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong. However, few people know that in the late Shu Han Dynasty, there were also "Little Five Tiger Generals", who were Wang Ping, Liao Hua, Zhang Yi, Zhang Ling, and Wu Yi.
Although the comprehensive strength of these five people was not as good as that of the five tiger generals, they were also highly skilled in martial arts, able to fight well and guard the stability of Shu Han. Today we will talk about Wu Yi in detail, because his identity is relatively special, he is the uncle of the country.
Wu Yi originally worked under Liu Zhang, and after Liu Bei came to Yizhou to seize Liu Zhang's position, Liu Zhang was naturally unhappy, so he sent Wu Yi to lead troops to resist Liu Bei. When Wu Yi fought Liu Bei, he was captured by Zhao Yunsheng.
Wu Yi was also a man who knew the times as a junjie, and since he was defeated, he surrendered to Liu Bei and regarded Liu Bei as his boss. Liu Bei was also very kind to Wu Yi, and let him hold some important official positions and entrust him with heavy responsibilities.
Liu Bei was Wu Yi's new boss, and Wu Yi naturally wanted to show it, so he dedicated his widowed sister Wu to Liu Bei. Wu was originally Liu Mao's wife, but when Liu Mao died, Wu became a widow.
Liu Bei felt that Liu Mao and himself had the same surname, and it was against ethics and morality to marry his wife, so he refused to marry her. Later, everyone persuaded Liu Bei that they were a pair created in heaven and earth, very well matched, and marrying wu helped stabilize the Yizhou Hao clan, and after Liu Bei thought twice, he married Wu, known as Empress Mu.
Wu became empress, and Wu Yi naturally became the uncle of the state, and his identity was unusual. Wu Yi is also a capable person, not relying on nepotism to ascend to the throne, but relying on his own ability.
During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Wu Yi also went out with the army, repeatedly building Qigong, and deeply gained Zhuge Liang's weight. After Zhuge Liang's death, Wu Yi became the governor of Hanzhong and led troops to garrison Hanzhong to resist Cao Wei's invasion and threaten the Three Kingdoms.
Although the talents of the late Shu Han Dynasty withered, there were still such military generals as Jiang Wei and Wu Yi, otherwise, the Shu Han would have perished long ago.
