Liu Bei is a relative of the Han Dynasty. When the 18 princes met, Cao Cao made a promotional advertisement for Liu Bei for free, and Liu Bei's reputation became increasingly popular. After more than ten years of development, Liu Bei changed from having no cities or soldiers to the founding ancestor of the Shu lord, and in terms of generals, Liu Bei also gathered together with the Five Tiger Generals.
Every time encounters a war, five tigers take the lead and the military advisors make a streak. This has become the norm in the Sichuan Group. However, in terms of the main general of Jingzhou , Liu Bei sent the person who should not be appointed the least, which is Guan Yu .
Why do you say that Guan Yu and Liu Bei shouldn’t let him guard Jingzhou? There are two main reasons. The first is that Guan Yu was too arrogant, and when he was guarding Jingzhou, Lu Bu was no longer alive, which indirectly expanded Guan Yu's arrogance, and he felt like a warrior boss. No one could take 30 moves in front of him.
The second reason is that Guan Yu is too domineering in his work and often does not take into account the overall situation. Those who do big things often cannot achieve it with their own courage. Just like the Yan Liang and Wen Chou back then, although he was the bravest army, he was eventually killed by Cao Cao. In the end, I don’t know how I died.
Several years later, why didn’t Guan Yu take the path of Yan Liang and Wen Chou? He was alone in the Northern Expedition, and his allies stabbed the knife in the back, and his friendly troops refused to save him. He was useless to waste Guan Yu and Guan Ping and was trapped in Maicheng.
Whether from the perspective of temperament or style of handling affairs, Guan Yu is not the best candidate to guard Jingzhou. So, who is the five generals under Liu Bei’s tent who can truly defend Jingzhou? This person is not Huang Zhong , nor is he Zhao Yun .
Although Huang Zhong has excellent martial arts skills, he is too old, just like Yan Yan . Even if his physical fitness is great, he will not be able to spare much energy to focus on how to defend the city. And what about Zhao Yun? All he has always been in charge of Liu Bei's housework. On the one hand, Liu Bei will not let Zhao Yun be too far away from him, and on the other hand, Zhao Yun is not a material to guard the city.
Although Zhao Yun can charge forward, Zhao Yun can be said to be a blank piece of paper when defending the city. In terms of military strategy, Zhao Yun is also a high school graduate and at most a junior college graduate. Let me ask, how dare Liu Bei hand over Jingzhou to Zhao Yun to guard the city? Even if Liu Bei is willing, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang will not let Zhao Yun go to work.
As a result, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were all denied. Then there are two people left, one is , Ma Chao , and one is , Zhang Fei . Among them, who is the general who can truly defend Jingzhou?
Zhang Fei, after the battle of Hanzhong , was arranged by Liu Bei to guard Langzhong . First, he could support Chengdu, second, he could assist Hanzhong , and third, he could also rescue Jingzhou. Judging from Liu Bei's arrangements, Zhang Fei is suitable for mobility support work. At the same time, Zhang Fei likes to drink alcohol, and after drinking, he likes to beat and scold his subordinates, and Zhang Fei eventually died at the hands of his subordinates. This is enough to prove that Zhang Fei is not the best candidate to guard Jingzhou.
Therefore, the only one guarding Jingzhou was Jinma Chao , while Guan Yu could only be the deputy general, and Ma Chao was the left general personally appointed by Liu Bei. Why is Ma Chao the most suitable general to guard Jingzhou? There are three main reasons.
The first reason: Ma Chao is General Xiliang, and he is very famous. It is enough to shock Sun Wu , Cao Wei
Ma Chao is the son of Ma Teng . His martial arts are extraordinary, at least at the same level as Zhang Fei. Cao Cao said that Ma Chao was no less brave than Lu Bu. Boss Cao never told lies in his life. From this point of view, whether it is leading troops to fight or personal martial arts, Ma Chao is a hero of the world.
How strong is Ma Chao’s personal ability? When the five routes of attacking Shu, Ma Chao only led his troops to defend the city border, so he allowed tens of thousands of troops in Xiliang to retreat without fighting. Why? Ma Chao has a title in Xiliang: " Shenweitian General ". A title like this is not something that ordinary generals can get.
If Liu Bei asked Ma Chao to guard Jingzhou, it would be impossible for the Eastern Wu troops to come and forcefully attack. Why? The Eastern Wu army and horses are not Ma Chao's opponents at all. Moreover, if Ma Chao has actual military power in hand, the Western Liang army and the Jingzhou navy of Guan Yu can completely defeat the Eastern Wu navy led by Sun Quan .
Once the Eastern Wu navy came ashore, it became a traitor. Sun Quan would not be so stupid.
and Cao Ren in Xiangfan ? He would not dare to have any seniority for Jingzhou. In the battle of Tongguan, even the boss Cao Cao, generals Xu Chu , Yu Jin , etc. were beaten to pieces by Ma Chao. Could it be that Cao Ren would not know how much he weighs?
Therefore, if Ma Chao was guarding Jingzhou, Sun Wu and Cao Ren dared not take the initiative to seek Jingzhou.
The second reason: Liu Bei would not grant Ma Chao "fake authority" at all, Ma Chao could only defend the city honestly
As we all know, Ma Chao joined Shu Han when Liu Bei was advancing to Xichuan, so Liu Bei had a strong defensive mentality against Ma Chao. This is also why after Ma Chao defected to Shu Han, Liu Bei was always guarding against him and did not give him actual military power. What he was worried about was that Ma Chao would rebel one day. If this was true, it would be difficult for anyone in Sichuan and Sichuan to subdue him.
Therefore, Liu Bei has always given Ma Chao high official position and even promoted Ma Chao to General of the Cavalry. Although it is a false reputation, it can be seen that Liu Bei actually attaches great importance to Ma Chao.
If Liu Bei sent Ma Chao to Jingzhou, and Ma Chao was the main general and Guan Yu was the deputy general, both of them had military power, Ma Chao would definitely try his best to defend the city and dare not have any intention. First, Liu Bei's Shuhan Group was Ma Chao's final destination, and with Ma Chao's strength, he would not look down on Sun Wu at all.
Secondly, Guan Yu was the deputy general in Jingzhou. Even if Ma Chao had the intention to be a thief, he would not have the courage.
Third, Ma Chao would not get Liu Bei's fake section permissions at all. As a result, Ma Chao could only defend the city in Jingzhou all year round, and it was impossible for him to lead troops to attack the Xiangfan area alone like Guan Yu. This is something that Ma Chao would not even dare to think about.
Therefore, if Ma Chao really takes on the role of the main general of Jingzhou, he will definitely establish good relations with Guan Yu and truly protect his job in Jingzhou. Because Ma Chao knew that if he didn't even defend Jingzhou, he would not only ruin his last job, but also affect the livelihoods of his own tribe, including Ma Dai and and others.
For Ma Chao, as long as he guards Jingzhou well, he can take the treatment of five insurances and one fund for a long time until he dies of old age.
The third reason: Ma Chao knows how to lead people and understand the art of war. He will not marry Sun Quan, but will fool Sun Quan
The fundamental reason why Guan Yu was attacked by Sun Quan behind the scenes was that he offended Sun Quan in public. At that time, Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin to Guan Yu's camp to propose to Guan Yu for his youngest son. Sun Quan wanted to marry Guan Yu, but his purpose was very simple to ruin the relationship between Guan Yu and Liu Bei.
At that time, Guan Yu saw Sun Quan's trick at a glance, so he scolded Sun Quan in front of Zhuge Jin. Guan Erye scolded Sun Quan as a dog, and he himself was a tiger. He also said something like "How can a tiger girl marry a dog's son?" This really scolded Sun Quan for being a dog, which not only embarrassed Zhuge Jin, but also made Sun Quan lose face.
But if the main general in Jingzhou was Ma Chao, Sun Quan would not have done this with Ma Chao at all. Let me ask, Ma Chao had abandoned his wife and son before, and even ignored his old father. Even if Sun Quan married him, what could change? Once something goes wrong with
, I'm afraid Ma Chao will not pay attention to Sun Quan.
In other words, even if Sun Quan asked Ma Chao to marry, Ma Chao would not reply to Zhuge Jin so quickly. Ma Chao would definitely send a letter to Chengdu, waiting for Liu Bei's reply, and after the reply arrived in Jingzhou, he would send an envoy to return his order to Eastern Wu. Is it a couplet or ignore it?
Because even if Ma Chao went to Jingzhou to serve as the chief general, his identity was still a migrant worker. For Ma Chao, as long as he keeps Jingzhou well, he can enjoy high salary, and he doesn't care about so many other things. Doing his job well is actually greater than the sky.
comprehensively:
Ma Chao has the ability to lead troops, and has experienced many battles and is extremely powerful. If Liu Bei is really willing to give Ma Chao a chance, I believe that Ma Chao will definitely make Jingzhou stable and it is even more impossible for Sun Quan to get Jingzhou. General Guan Yu would also avoid death because Ma Chao went to Jingzhou to defend the city.
What a pity is that Liu Bei would not give Ma Chao the chance to guard Jingzhou, but what about Guan Yu? He was still the arrogant general who did his own things. This actually meant that Liu Bei could not realize Longzhong's excellent strategy against Zhuge Liang, and of course he was doomed to failure.
Even if Liu Bei gets Wolong and Feng Chu , it may be difficult to change the fate of failure.
