I think that if Zhang Liao joins shu Han, the person who should be eliminated the most among the "five tiger generals" is Ma Chao. Below I will combine the relevant contents of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to give you a careful analysis.
As we all know, the "Five Tiger Generals" refers to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao. They were all famous generals during the Three Kingdoms period and made outstanding contributions to the establishment of the Shu Han regime.
Of course, there is no such thing as a "five-tiger general" in the history, which was fabricated by Luo Guanzhong. When Liu Bei became the queen of Hanzhong, he only had four generals, namely the former general Guan Yu, the later general Zhao Yun, the left general Ma Chao, and the right general Zhang Fei. In this article, let's take the phrase "Five Tiger Admirals" for a moment.
Why is it that if Zhang Liao joins Shu Han, Ma Chao will be kicked out of the "Five Tiger Generals"?
I have two reasons.
First, Ma Chao's qualifications are not enough.
Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei when Liu Bei was about to capture Xichuan, and was given the title of General of Pingxi. After Liu Bei became a Hanzhong, he made Ma Chao a general of the left. Liu Bei declared himself empress dowager, and crowned Ma Chao as a general on horseback. Ma Chao seems to have been reused, but in fact, there is a reason for that. In Liu Bei's words, Ma Chao gave him a helping hand when he was down. In addition, Ma Chao's family power is very large, and Liu Bei has to "curry favor" with him in order to enhance his power.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were the first to follow Liu Bei, and the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were famous at that time, and the relevant description of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Guan Yu Biography" is as follows:
"The first lord is the plain phase, and the feather and the fly are the other simas, which are divided into sub-divisions. The Lord slept with the two of them in the same bed, enjo brothers. ”
Therefore, Liu Bei could not kick out Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Guan Yu could not be kicked out
Guan Yuxia was a good brother and partner of Liu Bei, who followed him in the southern expedition and the northern war for decades and made great military achievements.
Guan Yu was highly skilled in martial arts and was evaluated by Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others as "ten thousand enemies". At the Battle of Fancheng, he surrendered to the forbidden, flooded the Seventh Army, and threatened Huaxia. Stories such as "Wenjiu Chopping Huaxiong", "Passing Five Levels and Cutting Six Generals", and "Interpreting Cao Cao" are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and have been widely praised for hundreds of years.
Guan Yu is the "righteous absolute" and "martial victory" in people's hearts, and he ranks first among the "Five Tiger Generals", which is well deserved.
In summary, Zhang Liao joined the "Five Tiger Generals", and Guan Yu could not be kicked out. Even if Liu Bei wanted to kick him out, it was estimated that no one would agree.
Zhang Fei could not be kicked out
Zhang Fei, like Guan Yu, was one of the earliest generals of Liu Bei's group. I think that back then, if Zhang Fei hadn't roared angrily on the Dangyang Bridge, Liu Bei would have been in danger. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Zhang Fei are described as follows:
"Flying according to the water and breaking the bridge, the blind spear said' Zhang Yideye, can come to the death of the enemy, there is no one who dares to approach, so he is spared."
Therefore, Zhang Fei is also known as "ten thousand enemies".
Zhao Yun would not be kicked out either
Zhao Yun also followed Liu Bei very early and saved liu Chan twice. Based on this, Liu Bei would not kick him out of the "Five Tiger Generals". According to Pei Songzhi's commentary on the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and The Biography of Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was eight feet long and heroic, originally a fierce general under Gongsun Zhan, and later went with Liu Bei to block Yuan Shao. Zhao Yun and Liu Bei also had a good relationship, and the two "slept in the same bed". At that time, Liu Bei was defeated, and many people said that Zhao Yun fled. Liu Bei threw down his weapon and said: Zilong will not abandon me.
Huang Zhong will not be kicked out
Huang Zhong, known as the "first sharp archer" of the Three Kingdoms, he is highly skilled in martial arts, bravely championing the three armies, and every time he fights, he is a pioneer and fearless. In Dingjun Mountain, it was even more xiahou yuan, and his name was shocked for a while.
Second, Ma Chao has no record or achievements.
We will find that Ma Chao did not make much contribution to Liu Bei Group, and the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms And Ma Chao Biography" did not see ma Chao's record and battle achievements. And Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong, all made great achievements. Zhang Liao, the head of Cao Cao's "Five Sons and Good Generals", has countless battle achievements, which is not comparable to Ma Chao.
