Cao Cao sighed, "I won't be executed until the horse dies." Who is this "horse"?

What Cao Cao said:? I have nowhere to die before the horse dies, okay? In this sentence? horse It refers to Jin, one of Liu Bei's five generals. Because Ma Chao actually had a battle with Cao Cao before taking refuge in Liu Bei, Cao Cao fled hastily and was almost destroyed by Ma Chao. Fortunately, Cao Cao used a deviant way to alienate Ma Chao and Han Sui, but their army began to disintegrate from the inside, which eventually led to the internal disintegration of Ma Chao's army, which could not always fight against Cao Cao. So in the end, Cao Cao turned the tables and defeated Ma Chao, and Ma Chao lived as a sponsor from then on.

I have nowhere to die before the horse dies, okay? This sentence means that if Ma Chao does not die, or if Ma Chao does not die, Cao Cao will come to no good end. This shows how powerful Ma Chao's ability is, which can make Cao Cao so afraid. At that time, he didn't care about Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao seemed so afraid of an army leader in Xiliang.

In fact, this is because two people have a war. At that time, Cao Cao lured Ma Chao's father, Ma Teng, to Xuchang to see the son of heaven, and then put Ma Teng under house arrest. After he wants to pacify Zhang Lu, he needs to go through Marten's original territory, so Ma Chao will make way for his father Marten, who is in charge of the military forces in Xiliang. Ma Chao knew that this was a trick of Cao Cao and wanted to take the opportunity to destroy his Ma Chao army, so Ma Chao rose up and took the initiative to resist Cao Cao. At that time, Ma Chao's army was not as large as Cao Cao's, but the Xiliang army was always brave and good at fighting. Cao Cao really fled in a hurry, so that Cao Cao seemed to be scared by Ma Chao and said:? I have nowhere to die before the horse dies, okay? If so, it's because Ma Chao is capable.

But in the end, Cao Cao broke up his army from the inside by deviance, which eventually led to failure.
