Who are Shu’s Tiger Generals?
Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun. In the novel the ‘Tiger General’ title was unique to Shu and was only given to these five officers. Historically this position was created long after most of them were dead (257AD) by Liu Shan (Liu Bei’s son and successor) and originally named Pang Tong instead of Zhao Yun. Liu Shan later changed it to include Zhao Yun (258AD). Historically, they were ranked in this order: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun.
