Ma Chaozhan Xu Chu is a very wonderful example of a battle in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This duel between the two famous generals directly shows what is called the battle between the macho men. At the time, Pound was Ma Chao's second-in-command. Pound is super strong and can fight with Guan Yu, so he has the strength to compete with Xu Chuyi.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Pound is a very brave and loyal general. When he followed Ma Chao to conquer Cao Cao, he saved Ma Chao from danger several times, and also helped Ma Chao beat Cao Cao to the ground. And Pound still has the opportunity to score a point with Xu Chu, but Pound did not directly fight Xu Chu.
According to the reason, when Ma Chao fought Xu Chu, Pound was the vice general, Ma Chao was the manager, the manager should not take risks easily, the vice general should take the initiative to break the enemy, but Pound did not go up to challenge Xu Chu. If Pound did not have the strength to come forward, it would not matter, but he was obviously strong and could fight with Xu Chu. This deserves careful analysis.
Let's first look at what level Of Pound's strength is. The story of how Pound abused the little minions is not much to say, here is his record with the famous player.
After Ma Chao and Ma Dai surrendered to Liu Bei, Pound served under Zhang Lu. At this time, Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu's men were pitifully small, so he had to send Pound to retreat from the enemy.
Cao Cao was also well aware of Pound's bravery, so he only sent Four men, Zhang Gao, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, and Xu Chu, to fight a war of attrition with Pound. As a result, in addition to Xu Chu carrying Pound for 50 rounds, Zhang, Xu, and Xiahou could not walk 10 rounds in front of Pound. This is a direct dialogue between Pound and Xu Chu, and the two sides are tied for 50 rounds.
Although these 4 people only fought with the task of depleting Pound's physical strength, they all felt Pound's bravery and praised Pound in front of Cao Cao.
After Pound defected to Cao Cao, he also had two other opportunities to perform.
The first time, the Battle of Hanzhong. Liu Bei and Cao Cao fought a large-scale battle for Hanzhong, and As a result, Cao Cao lost again. At that time, Wei Yan, in the spirit of "beating the falling water dog", bit Cao Cao to death, and as a result, Pound De came up and beat Wei Yan to the death. It can be seen that Pound's strength is higher than Wei Yan's.
Outside Xiangyang City, Pound carried the coffin and played with Guan Yu in the dark. Guan Yu was 58 years old at the time, Pound seemed to be about 40, and the two sides were more than 10 years apart. Although Guan Yu has declined in strength, physical strength, reaction, speed and other aspects, he is Guan Yu after all. The young brave general Xiahou Cun couldn't even go up for 2 rounds against Guan Yu. However, Pound was able to draw with Guan Yu, which showed that Pound's level of force could also reach a first-class level.
Since Pound has a first-class level of force and can fight with Xu Chu, why didn't Tongguan challenge Xu Chu first? It turned out that the reason was a bit embarrassing.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, When Ma Chao attacked Cao Cao to avenge his father Ma Teng. As the saying goes, "The revenge of killing a father is not the same as heaven." When Ma Chao saw Cao Cao, he naturally wanted to solve Cao Cao at once, and Xu Chu was a staunch defender of Cao Cao, the enemy who killed his father, then Xu Chu became an accessory, and Ma Chao, who was in a rage, naturally regarded him as a murderer of his father, and only by personally hand-bladed the enemy could he avenge his father.
At the same time, Xu Chu also gave Ma Chao a battle book and challenged Ma Chao by name. Ma Chao is young and vigorous, and with his father's vendetta in his body, he cannot back down in the face of the enemy's cries. Therefore, in such an embarrassing environment, Pound is not good to come forward to grab the opportunity for Ma Chao to avenge his father, so Pound has to watch the enemy material array from the side.
Pound could retreat from Wei Yan, was able to draw the elderly Guan Yu, and directly drew Xu Chu for 50 rounds that year. Therefore, if Pang Deruo fights Xu Chu, even if he can't win Xu Chu steadily, he can still draw with him. On the whole, Pound has the strength to fight with Xu Chu, but Ma Chao is carrying a deep vendetta in the blood sea, and Pound is not good enough to rob the manager of the opportunity to blade the enemy.
