Ma Chao was in his prime when he was guarding Tongguan. He is about 30 years old. A person's force value is related to his age. The younger he is, the greater his strength. Ma Chao was originally a big man with high force value in the five tigers. Zhang He lost to Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and others. Ma Chao's force value is logically higher than Zhang Fei's. So it is not surprising that Ma Chao lost to Ma Chao in his prime.
Ma Chao guarded Tongguan, and Ma Chao and Cao Cao had sworn enemies. Therefore, this battle of Tongguan, Ma Chao tried his best. Ma Chao couldn't wait to eat Cao Caosheng, and his anger was also used in fighting with Cao Cao's people. Angry people can often burst into extraordinary strength, and it is understandable that Z Ryan lost to Ma Chao in several rounds. According to the truth, Zhang He can also play dozens of rounds with Ma Chao, and he lost at once, mainly because he didn't try his best. Zhang He is a prick. If he knew he couldn't win, he wouldn't give his life. I ran away when I saw something was wrong.
At this time, there were other generals around Cao Cao. Zhang He is not the only one. He has a retreat. He can't win and run away. If he did enough, Cao Cao wouldn't blame him. Therefore, losing several rounds is his protection, and Ma Chao has no retreat and can only do his best. See if two people are cruel? See which is more determined. Ma Chao is the one who has made greater determination, and Zhang He will not be Ma Chao's opponent in any case. Due to ideological reasons, Zhang He, a general with high martial arts skills, was defeated by Ma Chao in several rounds in the battle of Tongguan. There are objective factors and subjective factors, but most of them are subjective factors.
