In terms of martial strength of the historical figures of the Three Kingdoms, was Lu Bu really unrivaled?
In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu was a controversial historical figure. His martial arts were strong, but there were also some disputes. In terms of martial strength, Lu Bu was indeed unmatched because he had outstanding martial arts, was extremely brave, was proficient in horsemanship, and was good at fighting. Lu Bu had fought fiercely with Cao Cao, Zhang Fei and others. In these battles, he performed well and defeated his opponents every time. In addition, Lu Bu had defeated many famous generals such as Dong Zhuo and Zhao Yun, so he left a deep impression on the history of the Three Kingdoms period. However, Lu Bu also had some shortcomings, such as his ruthlessness, autocracy, arrogance, and so on. These shortcomings also limited his performance. Thus, even though Lu Bu was a very powerful general, there was still some debate about his martial prowess.
Were the Five Tiger Generals really that invincible in terms of martial strength?
During the Three Kingdoms period, the Five Tiger Generals referred to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong. These five generals were considered one of the most outstanding generals during the Three Kingdoms period. However, the true history of the Three Kingdoms and Five Tiger Generals was not invincible. During the Three Kingdoms period, the martial arts level of a general depended on many factors such as experience, training, equipment, opponents, and so on. Therefore, even if these five generals were all top players, their strength couldn't simply be said to be invincible. In addition, the Five Tiger Generals had many disputes and legends in history. Some legends and stories might exaggerate their abilities. Therefore, we can't completely evaluate their strength based on these legends and stories. We have to consider the actual situation. In short, although the Five Tiger Generals were considered one of the most outstanding generals of the Three Kingdoms period, their martial strength was not absolutely invincible. There were many factors that needed to be considered.

Lu Bu of Bingzhou in the Three Kingdoms
Lu Bu (? - February 7, 199 AD), also known as Fengxian, was born in Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, Bingzhou (now Jiuyuan District, Baotou City). He was a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the warlords in the area. In his early years, Lu Bu was the general of Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou. Ding Yuan was very close to him and appointed him as the main book. After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Ding Yuan was recruited into the capital by He Jin. Later, He Jin was killed. Dong Zhuo monopolized power and lured Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan. Lu Bu turned to Dong Zhuo and was promoted to Zhonglang General and granted the title of Marquis of Duting. Later, Lu Bu was lured by Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo. He was promoted to the rank of General of Vigor, false festival, three divisions of Yi Tong, promoted to Marquis Wen, and jointly took charge of the government with Wang Yun. When Dong Zhuo's generals, Li Jue and Guo Si, attacked Chang 'an, Lu Bu was defeated and turned to Yuan Shao. In the first year of Xingping (194 AD), Chen Gong and others welcomed Lu Bu as the herdsman of Yanzhou. The following year, Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao in Juye and defected to Liu Bei. However, in the same year, Lu Bu took advantage of the battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu to attack Xiapi and take charge of Xuzhou. In May of the second year of Jian 'an (AD 197), Cao Cao appointed Lu Bu as the Left General. Lu Bu listened to Chen Gui's suggestion to break off relations with Yuan Shu and defeat Yuan Shu's General Zhang Xun. In the third year of Jian 'an, Lu Bu sent Gao Shun to attack Liu Bei. Liu Bei was defeated and defected to Cao Cao. Cao Cao then led an army to attack Lu Bu. Lu Bu did not listen to Chen Gong's plan and retreated to the city. Hou Cheng, Song Xian and other generals rebelled. In December, Lu Bu was captured alive by Cao Cao. He failed to surrender and was hanged and beheaded. People at that time and later generations praised Lu Bu for his bravery. The Annals of the Three Kingdoms recorded that he was skilled in archery and horse riding, and his strength was extraordinary. He was called "Flying General". The Biography of Cao Man said that "there was Lu Bu among men, and there was a red rabbit among horses". Chen Gong also praised Lu Bu for being good at fighting and advancing courageously. However, later generations, such as Chen Shou of the Western Jin Dynasty, Xu Zhong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Ye of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Su Zhe of the Northern Song Dynasty, all believed that although Lu Bu was brave, he was brave but not resourceful, contemptuous and cunning, capricious, only interested in interests and lacked morality. Yu Shenxing of the Ming Dynasty evaluated Lu Bu as not a real hero. Due to the influence of the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms and various folk arts, Lu Bu's image as the "First Fierce General of the Three Kingdoms" remained in the minds of later generations.
