"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has created a group of flesh-and-blood characters. Some of these people strategized and won thousands of miles away, such as Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Sima Yi, and some of them relied on Using superb force to conquer the north and south and charge into battle...
One of the heroes was evaluated as "the bravest among all the heroes". This general was Ma Chao . There is also a saying among the people that "the heroes of the Three Kingdoms are more numerous than Ma Chao". However, during the Three Kingdoms period, even if he was as powerful as Ma Chao, he was still afraid of 5 powerful generals, 2 of whom he could not afford to offend, and 3 of whom he could not defeat.
Shuhan Tiger General Ma Chao
Ma Chao was one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty and was named General Zuo by Liu Bei. Regardless of the name of the Five Tiger Generals or Liu Bei's awards, it can be seen that Ma Chao is indeed capable. Compared with some generals who are late bloomers, Ma Chao can be said to have become famous at a young age and is at the peak of his career.
Ma Chao's father is called Ma Teng, and he is a very powerful warlord in Guanzhong. Luo Guanzhong did not hide his love for Ma Chao in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The author wrote about Ma Chao's appearance: I saw a young general with a face as beautiful as a crown jade, and eyes as bright as a crown jewel. Like a shooting star, with a tiger body and ape arms...
According to current aesthetic standards, Ma Chao can be regarded as a top-notch young man. He himself has Qiang blood. Historical data records that Ma Chao has three-dimensional facial features and a face that looks like a mixed race. Despite his handsome appearance, Ma Chao is famous all over the world for his strength.
Ma Teng had multiple sons, and Ma Chao was most like his father in his fierceness in fighting. It was the Battle of Pingyang that made him famous.
Before the showdown with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was worried about trouble in the west. At the suggestion of Xun Yu, he sent Zhong Yao to Guanzhong to persuade Ma Teng and his son. In the end, Zhong Yao convinced Ma Teng and his son, and Ma Teng sent a team to follow Zhong Yao to attack Guo Yuan.
Ma Chao suddenly launched a surprise attack while Guo Yuan was crossing the river. Ma Chao was accidentally injured during the battle. However, the young general not only did not flinch, but continued to lead his troops to kill the enemy despite his injuries. In this way, Ma Chao became famous in the Battle of Pingyang.
The first big battle in his life was won so beautifully. Ma Chao became a rising star in the Three Kingdoms. However, he was very afraid of the five generals of his generation, Ma Chao. Two of these five generals, Ma Chao, could not be offended, and the other three generals, Ma Chao, could not be defeated.
The two divine generals that cannot be offended
The two divine generals that Ma Chao cannot afford to offend are colleagues in the Shu Han Dynasty. They are Guan Yu , the leader of the Five Tiger Generals.
The description of Guan Yu's battle with Yan Liang in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is very exciting: Guan Yu saw Yan Liang's flag and "spurred his horse to thrust Yan Liang among thousands of people." After cutting off Yan Liang's head, Guan Yu retreated, and all the troops Come and go freely...
If "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is said to be artistically processed and exaggerated, then Chen Shou lamented in " Romance of the Three Kingdoms ": Guan Yu, Zhang Fei are all enemies of ten thousand people. Although Ma Chao is powerful, he still looks very inferior in front of the god-like Guan Erye.
Even Zhuge Liang lamented that "Ma Chao is invincible unless Jingzhou takes Guan Yunchang ." Ma Chao once made Guan Yu unhappy by directly calling Liu Bei's name and wanted to kill him. This scared Ma Chao to respect Liu Bei from then on.
Apart from Guan Yu, another general that Ma Chao cannot afford to offend is Zhang Fei. Although Zhang Fei has always been a representative of bravery and foolhardy, the ultimate in bravery is fierceness. There is a simple truth for masters to fight - in the face of absolute power, any skill is useless.
Zhang Fei happens to be able to fight anyone with absolute power. Ma Chao once confronted Zhang Fei head-on. When the two were duel, Liu Bei sighed: Ma Chao is a real tiger general.
The two fierce generals Zhang Fei and Ma Chao fought against each other for the first time. After a few rounds of back and forth, the book wrote: Ma Chao saw that he could not win against Zhang Fei, so he pretended to lose... The result was obvious that Ma Chao could not defeat Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei suppressed Ma Chao with absolute power.
This battle also allowed Ma Chao to see the strength of Zhang Fei, the most reckless man in the Three Kingdoms. Ma Chao had to think carefully about himself if he wanted to provoke Zhang Fei again.
The three generals who cannot be defeated
In addition to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two great generals who cannot be offended by Ma Chao, there are also three fierce generals that Ma Chao cannot be defeated or defeated.
The biggest highlight of the six battles in Weiqiao was the showdown between Ma Chao and " Tiger Chi" Xu Chu. At that time, two of Cao Cao's five good generals were defeated by Ma Chao in a duel.
Seeing that , Yu Ban, the leader of the five good generals, was defeated by Ma Chao, Cao Cao sent his ace Xu Chu. There is a plot in the new version of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" where Xu Chu and Cao Cao climbed onto the tower to watch the battle.
After watching his generals fail, Xu Chu suddenly shouted to Ma Chao: Xiao Ma'er, let me meet you for a while. The word "Xiao Ma'er" shows that Xu Chu is very confident in his own strength.
After two people fought for hundreds of rounds, the horses were tired, so the two sides had to change horses and fight again. We have seen wheel battles, but it is still very rare to change horses without changing people.
In this fierce battle between Ma Chao and Xu Chu, although there was no winner in the end, Cao Cao, who was watching the whole process, sighed: Fortunately, I have the tiger general Xu Chu. This sentence pointed out that Xu Chu's strength is not inferior to Ma Chao. Obviously, Ma Chao can't beat this "tiger fool" again if he faces Xu Chu.
The second general that Ma Chao could not defeat was Pound. Pound was originally under Ma Chao and later defected to Cao Cao. Liu Bei had a "rebellious boy" who was very capable in combat. This man was Wei Yan. Pangde once defeated Wei Yan and retreated all the way.
This is enough to illustrate Pound's combat effectiveness. At the same time, Pound can tie with Guan Yu. This shows that Pound's strength is almost equal to Ma Chao. If Pound and Ma Chao fight against the latter, the chance of winning is not high.
On the one hand, this is because Pound is very strong. On the other hand, Pound is also very familiar with Ma Chao. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger.
The third general that Ma Chao couldn't offend was beyond many expectations. This general's name was Yan Xing. Yan Xing was a general under Han Sui. Once Ma Chao and his father fought with Han Sui, and Han Sui was about to be killed by Ma Chao. At the critical moment, Yan Xing saved Han Sui from Ma Chao's sword.
Faced with Ma Chao's powerful fighting power, Yan Xing not only did not panic at all, but relied on his strength to severely injure Ma Chao. " Wei Lue " wrote: "The spear is broken when the spear is broken. Because the spear is broken, it exceeds the standard and kills him several times."
"Several kills" fully illustrates the danger Ma Chao faced at that time. From this description of just over ten words, it can be seen that Yan Xing's superior martial arts skills.
Although "Three Kingdoms" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" do not record much about the fierce general Yan Xing, we can only get a glimpse of this fierce general's style from some historical materials. Ma Chao suffered serious injuries due to this fight with Yan Xing.
Generally speaking, it is normal for Ma Chao to have generals that he cannot defeat and cannot offend, but he is still the first-tier general in the Three Kingdoms period. It is a pity that such a hero had a very rough experience. More than 200 members of the Ma family, including his father Ma Teng, were all killed by Cao Cao.
In the last few years of his stay in Shu, Ma Chao's only relatives were his cousin Ma Dai, Shu Han Zhang Wu Ma Chao died of illness in the second year, only 47 years old...
