At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuch party and government, the Yellow Turban Uprising, the masses rose up, and the whole world was in war. In such a special historical period, a number of heroes who have won the best in ancient and modern times have emerged. The water rolling in the east of the Yangtze River, the waves exhaust the heroes.
In such an era of heroes, there is a person who is not a Central Plains person, but has an inextricable relationship with the Central Plains. He did not have the same strategy as Cao Cao, but he bravely crowned the three armies and could chase Cao Cao to the point of breaking his head and bleeding, cutting his beard and cutting off his robe. This person was The Five Tigers of the Shu Han Dynasty, Ma Chao.
He had never been defeated in hundreds of rounds of the Northwest War with Xu Chu, and had also calmly left in hundreds of rounds of the Battle of Ye Mengguan and Zhang Fei, and such a person's strength value could be said to have reached the top level of the Three Kingdoms period. However, he was afraid when facing Zhao Zilong alone, because he exposed his greatest martial arts weakness when he fought hard with Xu Chu Zhang Fei.
First, young people become famous
To understand a person, you must first understand his past, so that you can understand why he can reach such a height. For Ma Chao, we are no exception.
Ma Chao (马超), also spelled Mengqi, was a native of Fufeng Maoling, which is now Shaanxi Province, and he was a descendant of ma Yuan, the general of Han Fubo. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ethnic minorities at that time no longer had the fear of the Central Plains Dynasty, and they infiltrated the Central Plains one after another, and the environment where Ma Chao lived was such a place where xiongnu, Qiang, Han and other ethnic groups lived.
In this place, nomadic and agricultural peoples are mixed with each other, and Ma Chao's body still has a quarter of the Qiang blood. The unique living environment created his habit of learning martial arts from an early age, and Ma Chao was a martial arts genius who soon became a martial arts master.
At that time, the Wolves in the Central Plains were full of smoke, and the emperor of the imperial court was held hostage by Cao Cao, who blackmailed the Heavenly Son to order the princes. Cao Cao had heard that Ma Chao was superior in martial arts and was a rare genius. At this time, he also wanted to take the opportunity to control the powerful Western Liang Army, so he forced Ma Chao to become an official in the imperial court, which was Xuchang at that time.
His father, Ma Teng, saw through Cao Cao's plot at a glance and did not agree to let Ma Chao go to Cao's camp alone. Ma Chao's father's friend, Han Sui, another commander of the Western Liang Army, felt that this was a good opportunity to eliminate the national thieves. He thought of a counter-plan, asking Ma Teng to go to Cao Cao's camp as an internal response, and then the inside should cooperate with the outside to eliminate the national thieves.
After hearing this, Han Teng also deeply believed it, so he went to Dangnaiying. However, Boss Cao was worthy of being the biggest traitor at that time, he saw through the conspiracy of the Western Liang Army, and then he killed Ma Teng with a backhand. In this way, Ma Chao and Cao Cao had a vendetta against their father.
Second, the great war Xu Chu and Zhang Fei
A few years later, Ma Chao's prestige in the Western Liang army grew, and he went to cao cao to avenge him. Boss Cao was more conceited in the early stage, did not take Ma Chao's Xi Liangjun and Ma Chao seriously, and directly ate oranges in front of Ma Chao's army. Ma Chao had already been blinded by Cao Cao's revenge for killing his father, and he directly shouted: "It is Cao Cao who eats oranges", and led his army to kill him.
The Cao Army did not react for a moment, and immediately collapsed under the impact of the Western Liang Army. Cao Cao was also anxious to throw away the oranges. But Ma Chao still did not spare. He continued to shout, "It is Cao Cao who wears the red robe," and Cao Cao was so frightened that he quickly cut off the robe. Ma Chao shouted again: "It is Cao Cao who grows a beard", and Cao Cao cut off his beard again.
In this way, Cao Cao cut off his robe and cut off his beard and never been caught up. At the last critical moment, Xu Chu came to the rescue and only then did he retrieve a life. And who is this Xu Chu? He was Cao Cao's personal bodyguard. It can be said that since Dianwei's death, he has become the closest person to Cao Cao,and even Cao Cao let Xu Chu kill his mother without blinking. After Cao Cao was rescued, Ma Chao came to provoke Cao Cao again, Xu Chu went to meet the battle, and the two fought for hundreds of rounds without winning or losing.
In addition to Xu Chu, Ma Chao also had a particularly famous battle. It was a big battle with Zhang Fei at Ye MengGuan when Liu Bei went to pacify Yizhou. Good fellow, look at the people Ma Chao, without relying on anyone has already fought with the two hegemons of the Three Kingdoms.
Under the curtain, a white-robed young general stood in front of the gate with a spear in his hand. He was heroic and exuded a strong sense of war. At this time, Hei Zhang Fei raised his gun and fought with him. In this way, the two men played hundreds of rounds without winning or losing. After that, the two men returned to the camp to change horses and picked up lights to fight at night. In this way, in the collision of one day and one night, neither of them could distinguish between victory and defeat. In the end, it was Zhuge Liangqiao who used a ruse to alienate Ma Chao, and then took the opportunity to surrender Ma Chao to be able to enter the river smoothly.
Third, fear zhao yun
Ma Chao was able to fight with Xu Chu and Zhang Fei for hundreds of rounds without falling behind. What's more, he was only a young man in his mid-20s, and his strength was beyond doubt. But why would such a brave Ma Chao be afraid of Zhao Yun?
Zhao Yun's most famous story is that Changsakapo's seven-in-seven rescue of the young lord Ah Dou, but these are not the main reasons why Ma Chao is afraid of him. After all, who at that time did not have a few pieces of capital that could be shown off? Zhang Fei also roared back Cao Cao's million army with a roar? Did he Ma Chao still kill Cao Cao and cut off his robe?
Ma Chao was afraid of Zhao Yun mainly because when he had just surrendered, Liu Bei was worried that Ma Chao was too brave and no one could really surrender him, which was not conducive to commanding him in the future, so Liu Bei received Ma Chao above the city tower when Ma Chao surrendered. Although it was a little contemptuous, Liu Bei had a ulterior motive. Liu Bei originally wanted to be with Ma Chao while watching Zhao Yun kill the enemy while drinking wine and eating meat. Who knew that Zhao Yun's speed was too fast, and before the banquet was ready, he had already beheaded the head of the enemy under his horse.
At this time, Ma Chao remembered Zhao Yun's mighty strength in Changshanpo in the past, and was afraid of Zhao Yun's speed. Although Ma Chao was brave, he was not so confident compared to Zhao Yun in speed, so he was afraid.
summary
In fact, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun did not necessarily win or lose when they fought. But it is a pity that Ma Chao has been swung by Liu Da's ears unconsciously. A person, especially in ancient times, when people's feudal superstition concepts were more serious, they were most afraid of unknown forces, and Zhao Yun's speed of killing enemies that could not cover his ears made him fearful.
The Three Kingdoms, although the heroes of that era were born, the famous generals were born. But in the end, it is still not enough to have a body of force. After all, this world belongs to the people who have the heart of the city government, just as the Sima family can not fight anyone, but in the end they can take this big world into their pockets.
