The Card Master Genius Chapter 74

Among the Five Tiger Generals, Ma Chao once commanded Liang Province before he followed Liu Bei. He was the overlord of Liang Province and could be called a local hero. Moreover, the cavalry he trained was very powerful. Not only were they fast, but they also held spears and had first-class combat capabilities.

Ma Chao's first half of his life was quite glorious, which made Cao Cao extremely afraid of him. Unfortunately, the Xiliang army was in turmoil later, and Ma Chao's family was killed by traitors. He finally surrendered to Liu Bei, but he was always depressed and died at the age of 47. He can be regarded as a tragic hero.

Ma Chao's weapon was called the "Tiger-Headed Golden Spear", the handle of which was golden, with a lifelike tiger head carved on the top of the blade. The spear was sharp enough to pierce through the enemy's heavy armor. His mount was said to be called Sharifei, a white horse that could travel a thousand miles a day.

Charlie Xie first conceived the image of the card characters.

Ma Chao was a famous general in Xiliang. At that time, the Xiliang region was inhabited by ethnic minorities and many Qiang people. The people were tough and their clothing was quite different from that in the Central Plains. Most of the generals in the Xiliang army wore their hair loose and were bold and unrestrained. They did not like to wear braids, and Ma Chao was no exception. Later generations said that Ma Chao was very handsome and was called "Jin Ma Chao". The Qiang people worshipped him as "the mighty general".
