Editing Five Tiger Generals (section)

==== "Five Tiger Generals" grouping as validation of historical accomplishments ====
Some historians that study the history of the Three Kingdoms periods argue that while Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun were appointed to the similar military rankings and were listed in the same volume in the historical texts, their military achievements are significantly differed, and people referring those five generals as "Five Tiger Generals" presume that they share the same accomplishments. Kaiyu Luo of [[Sichuan University]] argues that while Guan Yu had led armies of over 200,000 soldiers to expand Shu Han's territory, Zhao Yun had never stepped out of Shu Han's capital city in his military career:<ref>{{Cite journal|last=罗|first=开玉|date=2019-11-17|title=蜀汉职官制度研究|url=http://218.65.149.23:8083/ShowDetail.aspx?d=1016&id=QK200400884908&m=|journal=Sichuan Cultural Relics|volume=5|pages=14}}</ref> it does not make sense to presume Guan Yu and Zhao Yun had the same level of achievements or to group them together under one "Five Tiger Generals" ranking.

Researchers who support this grouping pointed out that Zhao Yun's core responsibility was to ensure the safety of Shu Han's central government, and historically this role could only be assigned to the most reliable commander. It is important to raise the awareness that protecting the kingdom is the same important as expanding territory, and it is reasonable for Chen Shou to list Zhao Yun in the same volume of Guan Yu, and for people to refer both Zhao Yun and Guan Yu as members of "Five Tiger Generals".<ref>{{Cite journal|last=颜|first=勇|date=2019-11-17|title=主客矛盾与蜀汉政权的失败|url=http://www.cnki.com.cn/Article/CJFDTOTAL-GZWS199302002.htm|journal=贵州文史丛刊|volume=2|pages=44}}</ref>
