During the Three Kingdoms period, the "Five Tiger Generals" under Liu Bei's account were the "Five Tiger Generals" under Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao. All of them are famous generals in the world, brave and unusual. However, the following one specialized in killing the Five Tiger Generals, killing Guan Yu's father and son at the age of 38, taking the Red Rabbit Horse, and shooting Huang Zhong at the age of 40, but he was not reused in his life, only because of a fatal flaw.
This is the famous Eastern Wu general Ma Zhong, Ma Zhong was born in poverty, has always been a young general under the account of Eastern Wu, and in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he does not explain how martial arts he is, or how much merit he has. However, this Ma Zhong can be called the killer of the Five Tiger Generals during the Three Kingdoms period. When Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, this Ma Zhong was a general under the Eastern Wu general Pan Zhang.
Sun Quan had sent someone to persuade Guan Yu to surrender in Maicheng, guan Yu pretended to accept, planted a flag at the head of the city, and then led more than ten horsemen to flee west, Sun Quan had already sent Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang, cutting off his escape route. At this time, Ma Zhong accurately predicted the location of Guan Yu's escape, captured Guan Yu and Guan Ping alive in Zhangxiang (Danyang City), and was quickly beheaded.
Many people said that this was Ma Zhong's luck, and it was impossible to see how much ability he had, but killing Guan Yu, who was threatening the world at that time, did not make him reused. After the war, Sun Quan gave Guan Yu's red rabbit horse to Ma Zhong in recognition of his merits. However, in order to avoid becoming the target of revenge for the Shu state, Ma Zhong sold the Red Rabbit Horse and reported that the Red Rabbit Horse missed Guan Yu and died of hunger strike.
In the Battle of Yiling, the young general once again showed his divine might, because in front of Huang Zhong, who was "a hundred steps through Yang", he actually succeeded and shot Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong died soon after. What everyone needs to pay attention to here is that Huang Zhong's archery was a unique archery at that time, and it can be said that he was an expert in archery. But in the end, he died at the hands of Ma Zhong, and I have to say that this Ma Zhong still has the ability, five five tiger generals, 2 died in his hands, which is really a great credit.
However, it is very strange that Ma Zhong has such great ability, but he has not entered Sun Quan's legal eye, and he has not become a famous general later. In fact, this is very easy to understand, in Eastern Wu, the core is the door valve politics, and the Sun Quan family is mainly stabilized by the support of Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Xun, Lü Meng, Zhang Zhao and other big family giants.
Therefore, it is actually difficult for the general cold door to enter the core, such as Pang Tong, and this Ma Zhong was born in the cold door, which is even more inferior. Look at the treatment of the giants, Lu Xun's family, full of rich and noble, hereditary nobles, in addition to 2 prime ministers, 5 marquises, the general reached more than 10, even Sun Quantuoguo also found Lu Xun's son Lu Kang. It can be said that Eastern Wu at that time was a powerful politics, and there was no way out for poor generals.
