Absolutely! Dian Wei's role can definitely be likened to a Master Sergeant or a Colonel in modern military ranks-someone known for personal valor and leadership in the heat of battle, rather than the overarching strategic planning typically expected of top generals. His prowess in combat and his role as a personal bodyguard to Cao Cao highlight his importance in direct engagements and protecting leadership, which is critical but distinct from the responsibilities of higher military command involved in strategic decision-making across larger campaigns. His contributions, while perhaps not as strategically expansive, were undeniably vital to Cao Cao's personal safety and immediate military needs.
While Dian Wei was certainly a formidable warrior, the title of "Top General" under Cao Cao often goes to those who demonstrated both leadership in multiple campaigns and strategic military acumen. Figures like Xu Chu, who was also celebrated for his personal strength and loyalty, played similar roles but perhaps had more opportunities to be involved in larger military strategies and battles. Generals such as Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang, among others, are often highlighted as Cao Cao's top generals because they led armies across various campaigns, showing tactical flexibility and strategic insight that contributed significantly to Cao Cao's successes across a broader theater of war. So, while Dian Wei’s contributions were crucial and his bravery undeniable, his role and opportunities were more limited compared to those who commanded large forces and won significant battles, which is likely why he isn't typically listed among Cao Cao's top five generals in military discussions.
You are a legend bro, and i am kinda sure over time you will get viewers because this channel deserves it. For us finding original historical sources is actually a pain in the ass and your videos makes it easier whats fiction and whats historical. I promote you to all my history geek friends all the time, and also thank you for the videos! I actually appreciate it.
I'm delighted to have your liking, but the channel's data has been so poor that I was considering giving up. Even if I could enable ypp (TH-cam Partner Program), the earnings wouldn't be much. I will continue to update, but the pace will be slow.

Excellent work here
I think Dian Wei is kote about Master sergeant or colonel in modern rank
His prowess is more in personal prowess than larger scale military strategy

I wonder why Dian Wei wasn't considered among the Top 5 Generals of Cao Cao ... surely he could have been a challenge too to Xu Chu as well
