Mao(right) and his superior Zhang Guotao(left), Zhang fled to Canada after losing 90% of his own army and being isolated by Mao.

Zhang wasn't Mao's superior. He was his peer. He lost out in a power struggle particularly after a disastrous decision not to accompany Mao in the Long March. Zhang lost most of his army & wasn't in a position to challenge Mao after that.
