Im sure we are all Familiar with the Tiger Generals of Shu. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao. well im making this topic to talk about one of them. Ma Chao, now he has always been my favorite General and Tiger General, but recently i have been doing some reading..and Thinking, appart from the Other Generals Ma Chao didnt spend alot of time in the Books, for he was sent to the Boarders to keep bandits from invading, and his Prime was when he attacked and captured lands of Cao Cao's, but the think i was thinking about is..does he belong in the ranks of Tiger Genreal? its kinda hard for me to say really as he is my Favorite of the Bunch. Now one whom i think Might deserve the Title is Ma Dai, we took part in Zhuge Liang's Southern Campaign and was known for a few deeds here and there, and then there was Wu Zhang Plains and he Fought Loyaly to the end, another General i was thinking but i forget his name, he was with Liu Bei from his rise to the Fall of Shu, and apperently he was an Ex-Yellow Scarf Rebel, sadly i dont remmeber, please share your views with me on this.

Thats what Guan Yu said about Huang Zhong too, what gets you the honour high enough to meet Guan Yu's approval? I think you are referring to Liao Hua, he used to be a yellow turban who met up with Guan Yu during his ride through Cao Cao's six gates.

well Guan Yu only thought that those who could beat him had enough honor in them to actually be some one to hummmm how do I say this well to be recognized by him. I guess Guan Yu didn't care for Liao Hua because he must have thought he wasn't good enough to be really cared for.

Of course then that horse thief (Pei)tried stealing Zhao Yun's horse. Bad idea!!

Hmm showing up with a bloody head and freaking out the women wasnt a good starting point for Liao Hua getting along with Guan Yu So you see Zhou Cang doesnt show up with bleeding head and he is accepted!! Remember these interview techniques kids And finally.. So Zhao Yun (Zhao Zilong) killed Pei Yuan Shao for horse rustleing. Hmm car jacking was a more serious crime back then it seems

I guess back then if you lost your horse you were stuck on foot and at the mercy of all, a horse would have been very important and valuable.
Didnt they used to hang horse rustlers in the old wild west about 100 years ago, maybe things change slower than I thought.
