Ma Zhong

Paired with Wang Ping against the Ravine camps' wings — his frontal attack on the third camp routs it while Zhao Yun takes the rear.

Takes secret orders with Wang Ping and Guan Suo for the night of the trap.

Second pair of the secret orders, following Zhao Yun and Wei Yan across the shifted bridge.

Rushes to rescue the captured Zhang Ni and is hooked off his own horse — spared with him, exchanged with him, and beside him in the disguised-native ambush that closes the seventh round.

Appointed Right Army Commander for the Northern Expedition, under B-T's spelling 'Ma Zheng' — the same Shu officer who served through the whole southern campaign.

One jaw of the pincer on Sun Li: sent with five thousand troops (Zhang Ni with another five thousand) to halt near the camp and attack from outside once the convoy burns. When Sun Li charges at the blaze thinking it his own side's signal, the two of them close in behind him and 'soon had Sun Li as in a net', and the third roll of drums is Ma Dai coming up out of the fire.

One of the four feigned-retreat generals — with Zhang Ni, Wu Yi and Hu Ban — who take Zhang He's charge, give ground at intervals, and turn to fight when Guan Xing's ambush breaks out of the valleys.

Sent with Zhang Ni by the by-roads west of Qishan, marching by night and concealed by day, to make the fourth side of the attack on Cao Zhen's camp.

In three places. One of the four corner ambushes outside Lucheng that break Sima Yi's night assault; left with Zhang Yi to hold Lucheng while the army goes to Longshang; and finally joint commander with Yang Yi of the ten thousand bows and crossbows hidden along the Wooden Path, with orders to barricade the road with timber and stones at the bomb and then shoot.

Middle division of the crossing with Jiang Wei, one of the six summoned for secret orders before the night ambush, and finally paired with Ma Dai to bid defiance to the Wei camp on the south bank while the convoy is taken in the north.
