The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 372
When Ma Chao hesitated, Li Hui came to Ma Chao's barracks and persuaded Ma Chao to surrender.

The situation at this time is still very different from the original work when Ma Chao was unable to advance or retreat.At that time, Zhang Lu had not yet perished. Ma Chao was blocked at Jiameng Pass by Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. Zhang Wei's Seventh Army was behind to guard the pass, preventing Ma Chao from returning to Hanzhong.

But Liu Bei hadn't taken Yizhou yet. In Jingzhou, there were only four Jingnan counties and half of Nanjun, and Nanjun still borrowed Soochow in name.In the hands of Xiangyang, Fancheng and Cao Cao, Jiang Xia was in the hands of Sun Quan. It was actually very dangerous for Liu Bei to lead his army into Sichuan at that time, but Liu Bei would be stuck to death if he didn't take risks, and there was no way to develop at all. Zhou Yu always wanted to kill Liu Bei.

At that time, Ma Chao was still Zhang Lu's general in name, and it was hard to rebel just because he wanted to, so he still set up a battle to scare Li Hui.

Now Zhang Lu has surrendered to Cao Cao, Ma Chao is free, and after Zhang Wu took Yizhou, no matter how stupid people are, he knows that he has achieved great success, and he can completely fight against Cao Cao, which is by no means comparable to Liu Bei at that time .

A person like Ma Chao, although a little grumpy and impulsive, is fundamentally a martial artist, even though he is indeed very good-looking.

Wu Fu has a common characteristic, that is, he admires the strong.

Since Ma Chao's debut, he has rarely met an opponent. After fighting Xu Chu for more than 200 rounds in Ke Xingbing's revenge, he admired Xu Chu very much.

At Ma Chao's level, he would not intentionally belittle others. If he has ability, he has ability, regardless of whether the other party is his enemy or not.Just like Guan Yu told Zhang Fei that Zhang Liao's martial arts were not inferior to them, Cao Cao's generals all praised Pang De's martial arts.

Cao Cao fought Sun Quan so many times, and he also said: "Being a son is like Sun Zhongmou."

This is actually praising Sun Quan, not taking advantage of Sun Quan.

Later, Ma Chao and Zhang Fei had a close battle, and he lamented that there are still many heroes in the world. After Ma Chao and Zhang Wu were defeated in a duel, he no longer dared to claim to be invincible.

For Zhang Wu who can defeat him, Ma Chao actually really admires Zhang Wu. He especially admires Zhang Wu not only for his superb martial arts skills, but also for conquering such a large territory and becoming the second largest prince in the world. Now the entire Jiangnan and Yizhou are Zhang Wu The final say.

If Ma Chao still wants to seek revenge from Cao Cao, then the only way is to seek refuge with Zhang Wu.

But Ma Chao is still a little arrogant, and he can't bear the shame to go to one person with all his heart.

Therefore, Li Hui came at the right time.

You see, you guys took the initiative to invite me!

Under Li Hui's persuasion, Ma Chao, who was still on airs, quickly surrendered to Zhang Wu, the chariot general.

In fact, all of this was expected by Zhang Wu, because at this time Ma Chao and others were indeed desperate. Now the world has been divided in half by Cao Cao and Zhang Wu, and Ma Chao has a blood feud with Cao Cao. Ma Chao was willing to surrender to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao did not dare to accept it.

As long as Ma Chao wants to take revenge, what else can he do besides relying on Zhang Wu?
What he has experienced in the past few years has almost worn away Ma Chao's arrogance.

Zhang Wu was also very happy to receive the loyalty of a super-class general like Ma Chao, because Ma Chao was exactly what he lacked in a general who was good at commanding cavalry, and Ma Chao was quite prestigious in Liangzhou and Qiang, so he could use him in the future.

What made Zhang Wu even more happy was that Pang De and Ma Dai also surrendered with Ma Chao.Pound's force is absolutely top-notch, and he fought Guan Yu for a hundred rounds regardless of the outcome. Although Guan Yu was already old and not at his peak at the time, Guan Yu also commented on Pound: "Pound is familiar with swordsmanship, Shingo adversary."

Pound is a general who is brave, loyal, and has some brains. He is one of Zhang Wu's favorite generals.

Although Ma Dai is far behind Ma Chao and Pound in martial arts, he is still at the second-rate level. The key point is that Ma Dai is very obedient and can resolutely obey and implement the orders of his superiors. Excellently completed the task assigned by Zhuge Liang.

Later, Ma Dai resolutely carried out Zhuge Liang's last plan and attacked and beheaded Wei Yan.

It can be said that since the death of the four generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, apart from Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, Ma Dai has become one of the most famous generals under Zhuge Liang.

Although there is no shortage of generals under Zhang Wu's command now, the more talents, the better. In the future, we must find ways to capture Hanzhong, Liangzhou, Guanzhong and even the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. Of course, the more generals the better.

And as time goes by, some veterans under Zhang Wu's command will slowly pass away now, Guan Yu is 50 years old, Zhang Fei is 44 years old, not to mention Huang Zhong, a veteran.

Although Zhang Wu has almost occupied half of the world now, it is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time if he wants to defeat Cao Cao and unify the world, so Zhang Wu attaches great importance to the cultivation of talent echelons.

What makes Zhang Wu somewhat satisfied is that in terms of counselors, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are both very young, only about 30 years old, Fazheng is five years older than Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu is about five years older than Fazheng, and there is even younger Lu Xun, who is only 28 years old this year. age.

These five counselors can guarantee that Zhang Wu will not lack top counselors for at least 30 years, and Ma Di, whom Zhang Wu has high hopes for, is just 21 years old this year. Under the training of many famous teachers, he has grown into a talent with both civil and military skills. The most important thing is practical experience.

In addition to these people, people like Ma Liang, Huang Quan, Liao Li, Jiang Wan, Liu Ba, Lu Ji, Gu Shao, etc. are all people with outstanding abilities, and there are many people with both civil and military skills, who can lead troops and govern .

Among the generals, the five tiger generals have gathered under Zhang Wu's command. Except for Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei who are a little older, Zhao Yunnian was still able to kill five generals when he was seventy. If Ma Chao didn't die of illness early, at least he could Fight for another 20 years.

The remaining dozens of generals, large and small, such as Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Ding Feng, Lu Meng, Jiang Qin, Li Yan, Zhang Ren, etc., even if some people died one after another in the middle, they will definitely continue to discover and promote some new ones in the future. The generals can generally maintain the scale.

Then there are some second generations of Wu, such as Guan Yu's son, Zhang Fei's son, Zhao Yun's son and so on.In this era, military generals are generally inherited from generation to generation. There are so many famous generals under Zhang Wu's command. Even if their sons cannot all be heroes like Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, under the guidance of their parents, they can become qualified generals. Still not a problem.

Zhang Wu deeply knew that no matter when it came, the competition between the two major forces was ultimately a competition between talents.

Two of Cao Cao's five early counselors, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, have died now, and when Cao Cao is about to become the king of Wei, Xun You will also die soon.

Although there were Jia Xu, Sima Yi, Zhong Yao, Dong Zhao, Jiang Ji and others in the late Cao Wei, they were far behind the lineup of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Fazheng and Lu Xun.

In terms of military generals, Zhang Wu's lineup is now much more luxurious than that of Cao Cao. After the five good generals and some generals of the Xiahou family and Cao family have passed away one after another, although there are still famous generals such as Guo Huai, Hao Zhao, Wen Yang and some others. The second generation of Wu, but under Zhang Wu's deliberate collection and training, I believe there is still a big gap with Zhang Wu.
