Ma Chao is known as General Tianwei, but why doesn't Liu Bei value him?

In the romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ma Chao's strength is still very strong. He fought with Zhang Fei for hundreds of rounds. When he crusaded against Cao Cao, he even abandoned the robes killed by Cao Cao. After Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, he was appointed General Tianwei by Liu Bei, and he was one of the five tiger generals. This is enough to show that Liu Bei attaches importance to Ma Chao, not in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but on the surface, he doesn't seem to value Ma Chao. Maybe everyone thinks that if we want to reuse Ma Chao, we should keep Ma Chao around. If there is any major war, such as the battle of Yiling, Ma Chao will be sent to kill the enemy. Actually, it's not.

After Liu Bei successfully captured Yizhou, he rarely saw Ma Chao. Because Ma Chao was sent to the west. Because Ma Chao is famous in the northwest, Liu Bei named Ma Chao as Liangzhou Pastoral. Ethnic minorities in the northwest also respect Ma Chao very much, so Ma Chao can play the greatest role here, which is why Liu Bei didn't take Ma Chao with him. Northwest China is the rear area that Liu Bei attaches great importance to. If the northwest is not well defended and attacked by Cao Cao, then Liu Bei will not be able to conquer Wu Dong wholeheartedly.

Ma Chao is very loyal to Liu Bei, which is also the result of Liu Bei's wholehearted treatment of Ma Chao. When Ma Chao finally died, he regretted that he had not helped Liu Bei achieve the goal of unifying the country and helping the Han Dynasty. Before Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, it was also because Zhuge Liang said that Cao Cao killed Ma Teng, Ma Chao's father. In order to avenge his father, Ma Chao had to leave with a grudge, so Ma Chao told Liu Bei before he died that all his descendants would go into battle to kill the enemy and be loyal to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was also very moved after hearing this.

I still remember that when Liu Beigang met Ma Chao, he had a good impression on Ma Chao. Ma Chao and Zhang Fei killed the quartet under the tower. His masculinity and heroic solar terms made Liu Bei's blood boil. Cao Cao also loves and hates Ma Chao. He loves and hates his abilities. If Ma Chao were still alive, Cao would not sleep well. Liu Bei also likes Ma Chao very much. After all, such a good soldier will lose his ambition if he doesn't cherish it.
