Zhang Fei's bravery is obvious to all, but for some reason, when later generations arranged the "Twenty-Four Generals of the Three Kingdoms", they said, "One Lv, two Zhao, three Dianwei, four gates, five horses, six Zhang Fei", which made Ma Chao suppress Zhang Fei. After Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, he named Ma Chao as General of Cavalry, and Zhang Fei as General of Chariot and Cavalry, and the Captain of Si Li. It seems that Ma Chao is still a great official.
Liu Bei claimed to inherit the foundation of the Han family. When he was granted official titles, he naturally had to follow the rules of the Han Dynasty . In Western Han and Eastern Han , since Emperor Wu of Han , Liu Che invented the position of General of Cavalry in the second year of Yuanshou, he has been above General of Cavalry: "The general is four: the first general, second General of Cavalry, second General of Cavalry, and second General of Guard. There are also front, back, left and right generals. In the Han Dynasty, the general and cavalry were appointed, and the prime minister, the general of the cavalry, the general of the guard, the left, right, front and back, all golden and purple, and the highest position was the highest position."
0 Although Ma Chao is above Zhang Fei, whether it is " Three Kingdoms " or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Ma Chao is ranked behind Zhang Fei: The five tiger generals given in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, , Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, . When "Three Kingdoms · Volume 36" introduces the five generals of Ji Han, they are former generals, Han Shouting Hou , and fake Jieyue Donggu Jingzhou as the head of Guan Yu, the general of the chariot and cavalry lead the Sili lieutenant, and the Marquis of Xixiang Zhang Fei, the Marquis of Xixiang Zhang Fei, the General of Cavalry leads Liangzhou, the Marquis of Yuying Township Ma Chao, the Marquis of Yuying Township Ma Chao, the Marquis of the Later General, the Marquis of Guannei, the General of the Central Guard, the General of the Conquest South (General of Zhendong, General of Zhenjun)), and the Marquis of Yongchang Ting Zhao Yun.
In order to unify the standards, it is better not to mix "The Three Kingdoms" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". So let's put aside historical materials and only read novels to answer this question: Zhang Fei and Zhang He fought with Zhang He in for thirty or fifty rounds without any victory or defeat. Ma Chao beat Zhang He away in 20 rounds. Why do you still say that Zhang Fei is better than Ma Chao?
If you don't mention the chronological order and causal relationship between Ma Chao's uprising and Ma Teng's killing, just look at Ma Chao's performance on the battlefield. There is really a basis for the saying "Golden, Lu Bu, Silver, Horse Super", for example, in , Tongguan battle, , Ma Chao's performance is very eye-catching: "Ma Chao came straight to kill, , Cao Cao, , behind , , Yu Jin , went out to meet. The two horses fought and fought for eight or nine times, Yu Jin ban. Fall away. Zhang He went out to meet, and was defeated and left twenty rounds. Li Tong went out to meet, and fought with great strength. In several rounds, he stabbed Li Tong at the horse with one shot. "
Under Cao Cao's eyes, Yu Jin and Zhang He wanted to win the first prize, so of course they had to take down Ma Chao even if they fought for their lives. However, after a few rounds, the veteran Zhang He and Yu Jin realized that the result of their own life was to lose their lives. After all, life was more important than old face. Don't worry about the Prime Minister's happiness or not. It's important for us to escape!
Zhang He was beaten by Ma Chao in Tongguan and lost all his face. In Hanzhong , he was beaten very badly by Zhang Fei. It was not until Zhang Fei and Ma Chao fell one after another that Zhang He straightened his back and dared to challenge Zhuge Liang .
Zhang He met Zhang Fei. Although he lost a lot, his performance was still reasonable when he fought one-on-one: "Fei led 10,000 troops, thirty miles away from Langzhong , and met Zhang He's soldiers. The two armies were arranged, and Zhang Fei took off his horse and beat Zhang He alone. He raised his gun and horses. After more than twenty rounds, Zhang He's rear army suddenly shouted: It turned out that there were flags and flags of Shu soldiers behind the mountain, so this was disturbed."
Zhang He was trampled on the back road by Lei Tong , "I dare not fight, so I'll run back." Zhang Fei blocked Lei Tong from behind and blocked him in front, but he finally fled to Yanqu Mountain and retreated into the turtle shell. No matter how Zhang Fei scolded him, he refused to stand up.
Zhang Fei used the trick of luring the enemy to lure Zhang He out to surround him. It is logical that he has taken advantage of the situation, place and people, but Zhang He refused to surrender: "Zhang Fei jumped his horse with his spear and took Zhang He straight. The two generals fought in the flames for thirty or fifty rounds. Zhang He did not see the rescuers coming, but he was helpless, and saw the fire on the mountain, and he had already taken the trunk by Zhang Fei's rear army.Zhang He lost all three camps, so he had to go to Wakou Pass. "
If you only look at the battle records with Zhang He, Zhang Fei is weaker than Ma Chao, which is not a little bit: Zhang He, who was beaten away by Ma Chao for twenty rounds, was under Zhang Fei's 8 Snake Spear , and he had no intention of being timid; facing Zhang He who was still fighting with trapped beasts, Zhang Fei seemed helpless, and could only watch him use his mountain climbing skills to run away.
from the surface In the above, in the three single-match matches with Zhang He, Ma Chao's performance was far stronger than Zhang Fei. If you analyze it deeply, you will find that Zhang He's mentality was completely different in these three single-match matches.
In the Wei River in Tongguan, Ma Chao was a prey in the eyes of the generals in Cao's camp. He could have a full meal if he took him down, but it was a bit unworthy to fight for a meal. So Zhang He, who regarded war as a job at that time, fought if he could win, and ran away if he couldn't win.
, played with Zhang Fei in Hanzhong. In the battle, Zhang He became a prey, Zhang Fei became a hunter. If Zhang He did not fight to the death, he would not be able to escape.
Once, you can save your life without fighting to the death. Only by fighting to the death can you survive once. Zhang He has a different mentality, and of course the combat power he exerted is different.
The battle is courageous, and the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Zhang Fei did not take down Zhang He who ran away desperately, and Ma Chao beat Zhang who could work hard but was unwilling to bleed. He, the comparison of these three single-handed matches seems to be not strong. To comment on Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, we have to look at the battle at Jiameng Pass.
Zhang Fei fought against Ma Chao in the face of light. Readers may have memorized the whole process. I won’t repeat it again. Let’s take a look at the expected second day of the battle, why it didn’t start.
Zhang Fei fought in the middle of the night, but he was still unsatisfied: "The next day, Zhang Fei wanted to go down to the pass to fight Ma Chao again, and the military advisor came. "
Zhang Fei wanted to fight again, but he didn't think so, he said: Liu Bei wanted to surrender Ma Chao, and Zhuge Liang also came up with a solution. Zhang Fei could only be so anxious that he could not attack recklessly. Zhang Fei admired Zhuge Liang quite admired Zhuge Liang.
Zhang Fei asked for a fight, but Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang stopped him. Ma Chao was in the army, but he wanted to deduct the challenge. Ma Dai cannot stop it, and it cannot stop it. But something strange happened: the Ma family army, which was still fierce yesterday, stopped fighting or withdrawing troops today. It was so exhausted under Jiameng Pass that Zhuge Liang was free to use his plan of diversion.
Under Zhuge Liang's careful planning, Zhang Lu assigned three tasks to Ma Chao: "One must seize Xichuan, two must Liu Zhang's head, and three must retreat to the Jingzhou army. If three things fail, you can give your head. "
Ma Chao, who was forced to a desperate situation, faced two choices: first, defeat Zhang Fei, conquer Jiameng Pass , capture Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang; second, turn the spear head, kill back to Hanzhong, take down Zhang Lu, claiming to be the king of Hanzhong .
defeat Zhang Fei? Ma Chao didn't dare to think about it. Kill back to Hanzhong? Zhang Lu was also prepared: " Zhang Wei points, the seven-root army defended the pass and did not let Ma Chao enter. There is no way to advance or retreat beyond your ability, and there is nothing to do. "
Ma Chao had to surrender. This is where Ma Chao was inferior to Zhang Fei: when he met a strong opponent, he lost the courage to fight again. He stopped the army and the city was under the strong, which aroused suspicion in the rear. After all, he still lacked the courage to be strong when facing a strong person, and his ability to adapt is also somewhat lacking. Compared with Zhang Fei, who is good at using tricks, there is also some gap.
Of course, it is just a matter of half a pot of old wine. The final conclusion must be given by readers: If it were not for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's stop, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao continued to fight fiercely the next day, who could win the final victory?
