At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Ma Chao didn't open his mouth to refute again. If only in terms of record, Liu Zhang is undoubtedly stronger.

"I didn't say that General Wei is inferior to Cao Cao, but that Cao Cao is also a wise master."

Ma Chao regards himself as a man, so naturally he will not forcefully argue.

"Okay, let's not talk about Cao Cao as a man anymore!"

Liu Zhang knew that Ma Chao was still being stubborn. He had no intention of turning to Cao Cao at all, but only used Cao Cao to beat himself.

"Since you are interested in Cao Cao, do you know who controls Cao Cao's soldiers and horses?"

Ma Chao shook his head, how did he know this.

Cao Cao's entire power, he only knows Cao Cao alone.

"All Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are concentrated in the hands of two forces, one is the clan and the other is the aristocratic clan."

"The clans are headed by the Cao family and the Xiahou family. Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong almost control all the elite forces under Cao Cao's command."

"The aristocratic families are headed by the aristocratic families of the states and counties, and they control the soldiers of the states and counties."

Liu Zhang is fully aware of the distribution of Cao's power.

Even until the time when Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, the generals of the major military regions were all in the hands of the clan.

There is an obvious example, that is Zhang Liao in history.

Zhang Liao defeated Sun Quan's 100,000 army with 800 men, and the first battle shocked Xiaoyaojin!

However, Zhang Liao, who fought so hard, had to succumb to Cao Cao's clan Xiahou Dun who had been defeated and defeated repeatedly.

Even if Zhang Liao ends up as a former general, only 3,000 troops can be mobilized!

You must know that Cao Wei's Huainan theater has no less than 100,000 troops!

Which of Cao Wei's five sons of good generals in history is the one who is waiting for you?

Although it is not said to be stronger than Ma Chao, it will not be much different after all!

However, the five good generals eventually succumbed to Cao Wei's clan relatives.

Even if Ma Chao is determined to defect to Cao Cao, Liu Zhang can see through his ending at a glance.

"Now the aristocratic family is able to control the soldiers of the county because of the rebellion of the Yanzhou aristocratic clan. After Zhang Miao lured Lu Bu into Yanzhou, Cao Cao made a compromise with the aristocratic clan."

"Based on your current situation, go to Cao Cao, how do you think Cao Cao will treat you?"

Liu Zhang's further analysis left Ma Chao speechless.

Cao Cao needed to rely on the family, so he had to make compromises with them.

But what is Ma Chao to him?

No matter how you look at it, he is Liu Zhang's defeated general, and he has been defeated repeatedly!

The established forces like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao don't have much room for Ma Chao to play.

Ma Chao knew very well in his heart that Liu Zhang was the best, the best, the best choice, but his last breath made him hold on and refused to admit it.

"Where's Sun Ce? As far as I know, he's only a weakling! Now occupying the six counties in Jiangdong, he must have done something!"

Liu Zhang shook his head helplessly. It seemed that Sun Ce was Ma Chao's last stubbornness.

"Jiangdong Jiangdong, the east of the great river!"

"Are you good at water? What will happen if you are thrown into the Yangtze River?"

"Don't you know that Southern Zhou and Northern Horses? Southerners are only good at water warfare! Do you think you have something to play?"

Ma Chao was speechless again, as a boy from Liangzhou, how could he know how to swim!

Not to mention throwing it into the Yangtze River, finding a slightly deeper puddle would choke him to death.

"The world is so big that there is no room for me, Ma Chao! It's a pity that I have such martial arts!"

Ma Chao sighed in despair, and he didn't shamelessly mention Liu Biao again.

"You are really stubborn!"

No matter how good-tempered Liu Zhang was, he would feel upset when he heard Ma Chao's words.

"Ma Chao, how many catties and taels do you have yourself? You are very clear about your mood!"

"To tell you the truth, no one in the world can organize large-scale cavalry except this general and Yuan Shao!"

The source of all war horses in the world is at the border.

The two prefectures of Yongliang and Liang under the command of Liu Zhang, and the two prefectures of Youbin and Yuan Shao under the command of Yuan Shao.

In addition, if other princes want to obtain war horses, they can only buy them at extremely high prices!

For example, secretly trading with aliens, or relying on merchants.

For Ma Chao, the cavalry is his ultimate destination.

He no longer wants to see the scene of galloping on the sand while stopping to wait for the infantry in the rear!

Liu Zhang stared into Ma Chao's eyes, and every time he flashed a compromising wink, he was always pressed down immediately.

It seems that Ma Chao still can't bear to admit defeat to himself!

Liu Zhang felt very helpless. He didn't expect that Ma Chao was so young that he wanted to save face to the point of not wanting his life.

"The generals under this general, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others, were all unknown people before they surrendered to this general."

"There are peasants, murderers, county officials, military officials, etc., but in just a few years, they are all generals who control more than ten thousand elite soldiers!"

"Your ability is not weaker than theirs, and your future achievements will not stop there. It's up to you to choose which one is more important!"

Since succeeding General Wei, Liu Zhang has not felt so difficult in recruiting talents for a long time.

This seemed to bring him back to the time when he tried his best to persuade Tian Feng more than ten years ago. How similar was the helplessness at that time to now?

Thinking of Tian Feng, Liu Zhang felt even more regretful.

When Yuan Shao fled back to Yecheng, that was when Tian Feng's head fell to the ground!

It's a pity that a generation of wise men died at the hands of mediocrity before they could develop their talents.

Today's Ma Chao is like Tian Feng in the past, one wrong step may be wrong every step.

If Tian Feng had followed Liu Zhang resolutely back then, perhaps Jia Xu's position today would belong to Tian Feng!

Thinking of Tian Feng's ending, Liu Zhang was even more unwilling to give up Ma Chao easily, he didn't want a generation of generals to be buried here.

"General Wei, what will happen if I don't surrender?"

"you!"

Liu Zhang was really going to explode with anger, and the hand that pointed at Ma Chao trembled a little.

I have worn out my lips, but I didn't expect Ma Chao to remain indifferent!

Just as the old saying goes, good words are hard to persuade, damn ghost!

"My lord, the general has never seen such a ignorant thing! Let the general kill him with one shot, so as not to let the lord vent his anger on him!"

Even Tai Shici couldn't stand it anymore, with a look of resentment on his face.

What are you, Ma Chao, you are just a defeated opponent at the end of the road!

My lord is willing to put down her figure to recruit you, not to mention your father, friends, soldiers, etc. have all surrendered, but Ma Chao still insists on not surrendering!

In Tai Shici's view, this is clearly ignorance of flattery!

To deal with this kind of person, he should be stabbed to death with a single shot!

Pound's eyes were very anxious, his face was flushed, but he still couldn't say a word.

Even he felt that Liu Zhang had done his best to Ma Chao, even if he ordered him to be executed, Pang De couldn't say a word of no!

Liu Zhang's face was gloomy, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

"You'd rather die than surrender, right?"

I thought that seeing Liu Zhang like this, Ma Chao would think about it more or less.

Unexpectedly, Ma Chao answered Liu Zhang with certainty without even thinking about it.

"Not bad! Ma Chao would rather die than surrender!"
