Ma Zhong (onyomi: Ba Chū) is an officer of Wu. Historically, he is only briefly mentioned capturing Guan Yu and Guan Ping under the command of Pan Zhang at the battle for Jing Province. The novel gives him a slightly expanded role, in which, Ma kills Huang Zhong during the battle of Yiling. He is, however, killed by both Fu Shiren and Mi Fang when they attempt to rejoin Liu Bei's forces.
