Ma Chao, the character Mengqi, was the eldest son of Ma Teng after the Fubo general Ma Yuan. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), after his father Ma Teng and his two younger brothers Ma Xiu and Ma Tie entered the capital as officials, he stayed in Liangzhou and was given the title of General of partial general and Marquis of Duting, taking over Ma Teng's army. Some people say that Ma Chao pit his family very badly, and he also died inexplicably, so what is the truth?
Ma Chao really pit his family very badly, his father, brother, wife, and son all died because of him. In the end, Ma Chao was only 47 years old, and he was seriously ill and died.
Ma Chaokeng's father, two younger brothers and other clans of more than 200 people
In the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), Cao Cao sent Zhong Xuan and Xiahou Yuan to lead an army to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, which needed to pass through the territory of Ma Chao and other Liangzhou warlords. This deeply aroused the suspicion of warlords such as Ma Chao and Han Sui, who believed that Cao Cao's false way of destroying the evil was cao cao's plan to eliminate local forces such as Ma Chao and Han Sui and end their career as emperors. Therefore, Ma Chao and Han Sui joined forces with the Guanzhong generals Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Yang Qiu, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Ma Play, Cheng Yi and other ten hundred thousand troops to rebel against Cao. We know that Ma Chao's father and two younger brothers went to the capital two years ago to become officials, and at the same time, more than 200 people from the Ma clan went, which actually became hostages of Cao Cao.
And now, Ma Chao had openly rebelled against Cao Cao regardless of the lives of his own father and two younger brothers. What a pit son, what a pit brother. What is even more excessive is that in order to win over Han Sui, Ma Chao even said something like this to Han Sui: "Now Chao abandons his father, taking the general as his father, and the general should also abandon his son and take Chao as his son." ”
Is this what a son should say? Put his father in great danger, and only care about his own happiness. After Cao Cao heard of Ma Chao's rebellion, he did not do a good job and did not kill Ma Teng's entire family. In doing so, Cao Cao wanted to leave a way back for Ma Chao, in case he could reconcile one day.
However, Ma Chao did not think so, and after the failure of the first rebellion, he left Liangzhou to Shangyi. Cao Cao temporarily withdrew his troops and did not exterminate Ma Chao and the others. However, Ma Chao believed that Cao Cao did not kill his father and two younger brothers this time, because he had some scruples and would not kill him in the future. Therefore, Ma Chao continued to fight against Cao Cao, completely ignoring the safety of his family.
In the seventeenth year of Jian'an (212), shortly after the defeat at the Battle of Tongguan, Ma Chao made a comeback and quickly occupied Longxi, Nan'an, Hanyang, Yongyang and other counties in Longshang, and then occupied Jicheng, the seat of Liangzhou.
Another rebellion by Ma Chao completely angered Cao Cao and caused Cao Cao's frenzied revenge. In May of that year, Cao Cao captured Ma Chao's father Ma Teng, his younger brothers Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others in Yecheng, counting 200 people of the three tribes, and beheaded them all. These more than 200 Ma clan members were all killed because of Ma Chao's second rebellion, I don't know what Ma Chao thought in his heart, is his heart "cold"? Will you feel guilty about it?
Ma Chao pits his own wife and eldest son
Ma Chao besieged Liangzhou Jicheng, and after waiting for no reinforcements for a long time, Ma Chao surrendered Kaesong for the sake of the people of the city. However, after Ma Chao occupied Jicheng, he instructed Zhang Lubu to execute Yang Ang and assassinate Shi Weikang of Liangzhou. At this time, Ma Chao committed public anger and was disgusted by Wei Kang's old subordinates, always thinking of expelling Ma Chao and avenging the respected assassin Shi Weikang.
In the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213), Wei Kang's old subordinates Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, Jiang Yin, Zhao Ang, Yin Feng, Yao Qiong, and others rebelled against Ma Chao. After this, Yang Fu and Jiang Xu took the lead in raising the banner of opposition to Ma Chao in Halo City, and Zhao Qu and Yin advised Ma Chao to personally quell the rebellion and deceive him out of Jicheng. Subsequently, Liang Kuan and Zhao Qu seized the opportunity to occupy Jicheng, close the city gates, and capture and kill Ma Chao's wife Yang Shi and her son. Ma Chao was furious and attacked Licheng, killing Yang Fu and Jiang Xu's clan in Licheng. On the battlefield, it is a man's business, but Ma Chao and Ma Chao kill each other's wives and children, which is called what to do.
Ma Chaokeng's wife and son-in-law
After Ma Chao was expelled, he defected to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, but was jealous of Zhang Lu's subordinate Yang Bai and others and wanted to harm him. Ma Chao was not interested in Zhang Lu.com. At this time, he heard that Liu Bei had led his troops into Sichuan, so he wrote to Liu Bei and asked for his attachment. This Ma Chao threw his wife Dong Shi and son Ma Qiu at Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Ma Chao pit his wife and son for the second time. In the end, after returning to Cao Cao, Zhang Lu killed Ma Chao's son Ma Qiu and gave Ma Chao's wife Dong Shi to Yan Pu.
Death of Ma Chao
Ma Chao only stabilized after he defected to Liu Bei in 215 AD. He was in Shu Han, and he married another wife and had a son and a daughter, a son Ma Cheng, the Marquis of Xiangxiang, a daughter of ma shi, and married Liu Li, the prince of Anping, liu bei's son. In the second year of the Shu Han Dynasty (222), Ma Chao, who was only 47 years old, fell seriously ill and feared that he would soon die, so he gave Liu Bei a letter:
"More than two hundred mouths of the Emperor Of the Emperor Of the Emperor were cursed by Meng De, but from Brother Dai, as the successor of the Wei Sect's blood, he deeply trusted His Majesty, and there was no repetition of the words."
Therefore, Ma Chao died of illness, not by someone. In his lifetime, he was involved with more than 200 clans such as his father Ma Teng, his two younger brothers Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and his wife Yang and his eldest son, his wife Dong and his son Ma Qiu, and so on.
