Ma Chao was one of the princes of the late Han Dynasty and a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms, Ma Chao was the eldest son of Ma Teng, and during Ma Teng's tenure in the Beijing Division, Ma Chao rebelled, resulting in the killing of more than 200 members of the whole family, which was very tragic.
And the Three Kingdoms also has a fierce general, like Ma Chao, because of one of his own decisions, resulting in the killing of the whole family, it can be said that he watched the whole family being killed, worse than Ma Chao. Who is this person?
First look at the killing of Ma Chao's entire family. Ma Chao's father, Ma Teng, originally divided Liangzhou and was good friends with Han Sui, who was also in Liangzhou, and did not know why the two people had a conflict later, so Ma Teng requested to join the dynasty as an official.
The "Biography of the Three Kingdoms Zhima Chao" records that Hou Teng and Han Sui were at odds and asked Gyeonggi to return. Therefore, he was made a wei lieutenant, with Chao as a partial general, fengdu Tinghou , and lingteng buqu.
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), Ma Teng was appointed as a wei lieutenant by the imperial court, and Ma Chao's two younger brothers Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were also given the titles of Che Du Wei and Qi Du Wei, only Ma Chao remained in Liangzhou, and was made a partial general and the Marquis of Duting, commanding Ma Teng's troops.
In March of the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), Cao Cao sent Zhong Xuan and Xiahou Yuan to lead an army out of Hedong to try to pass through the territory of Ma Chao and other Liangzhou warlords and attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, so Ma Chao and Han Sui and other Kansai warlords became nervous and suspected that Cao Cao wanted to annex Liangzhou. As a result, Ma Chao joined forces with the Guanzhong generals Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Yang Qiu of Anding, HouXuan of Hedong, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Ma Play, Cheng Yi, and ten others, a total of 100,000 people and horses rebelled against Cao, and the Battle of Tongguan broke out.
The result of the great battle between Ma Chao, Han Sui and others and Cao Cao was that Ma Chao was defeated and fled to Anding, Han Sui fled to Liangzhou, Ma Chao ran away, but as the saying goes, monks can't run away from the temple, so Cao Cao went to the imperial court and killed more than two hundred members of Ma Chao's family.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms quotes the "Classics" to record: In the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Chao and the guanzhong generals Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Ma Qiao, Yang Qiu, Han Sui, etc., all ten parts, all reversed, and their hundred thousand people, according to He, Tong, jianlie Camp Chen. At the age of the year, Cao Gong went on a western expedition and fought with Chao Xiang at the intersection of Hehe and Wei, and Chao Xiang was defeated. Super to settle down, so ben Liangzhou. The edict exterminates the super family.
Ma Teng entered the dynasty as a guard in the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), and Ma Chao rebelled in the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), so it was Ma Chao who rebelled in the front, resulting in the killing of the whole family, not as stated in the speech, Ma Chao's whole family was killed before the rebellion.
Before Ma Chao died, he wrote to Liu Bei, saying that more than two hundred members of the subject's entire family had been killed by Cao Cao, leaving only his brother Ma Dai to ask His Majesty for your care, and nothing else. Therefore, it can be seen from this sentence that Ma Chao is very tragic.
And who is the other person who caused the whole family to be killed because of his own personal reasons, who is worse than Ma Chao?
His name was Zhu Ling. Who is Zhu Ling? Zhu Ling was the one that Cao Cao disliked very much and let Yu Ban take away his military power.
The Three Kingdoms Chronicles records that Taizu often hated Zhu Ling and wanted to take his camp. With the prohibition of power, the forbidden will ride dozens of horses, the book of orders, and the spirit camp to seize its army, and the spirit and its people will not dare to move; but the spirit is the governor of the forbidden subordinates, and all the people are shocked, and they are afraid of it.
Zhu Ling is not simple, and the history books record that Zhu Ling is second only to Xu Huang.
The "Biography of Xu Huang in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms" records that Linghou sui was a good general, named Ya Huang, etc., and was a general to the rear, and was given the title of Marquis of Tangting.
Zhu Ling was initially a general of Yuan Shao's army, and later submitted to Cao Cao, and accompanied Cao Cao in his conquests of the four directions, and made many military achievements. He was given the title of Marquis of Gaotang (高唐侯) and the title of Marquis of Wei(伟侯).
However, Zhu Ling's entire family was destroyed because of his personal choice. What's going on?
When Zhu Ling was still a general of Yuan Shao's troops, Ji Yong, a Qinghe man, betrayed Yuan Shao with Juancheng to defect to Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Zhan sent troops to Juancheng to help Ji Yong defend the city. Yuan Shao ordered Zhu Ling to attack Ji Yong, but at this time, Zhu Ling's family was in the city, and Gongsun Zhan had Zhu Ling's family hostage, tied Zhu Ling's mother and brother to the city wall, and asked Zhu Ling to surrender. I really don't know what Yuan Shao thought, but he didn't send others to send Zhu Ling.
And how did Zhu Ling do it? Zhu Ling looked at his relatives in the city and cried, "Once the eldest husband is born to serve as a man, how can he take care of the family anymore!" Therefore, he ordered the siege of the city, and after the capture of Juancheng, Zhu Lingsheng captured Ji Yong, however, Zhu Ling's entire family was killed.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms quotes the Spring and Autumn of Kyushu as saying: In the beginning, Qinghe Jiyong surrendered Gongsun Wan to rebel against Yuan Shao, and sent troops to guard him. Shao Sent spirit to attack it. The Ling family was in the city, and the Spirit Mother and Brother were placed in the city to seduce the Spirit. Lingwangcheng wept, "Once the husband is born and is a man, how can he take care of the family!" "Then the battle was pulled out, and the yong was captured and the lingjia died."
It can be said that the killing of Zhu Ling's whole family was very tragic, and Zhu Ling watched his family being killed, all because of his personal decisions.
When Zhu Ling attacked the city, seeing his whole family killed, you can imagine his mood at that time, what was it like? Of course, Zhu Ling chose loyalty rather than surrender.
