The first lord fu led Yizhou Mu, Zhuge Liang was the head of the humerus, Fa Zheng was the mastermind, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Ma Chao were the minions, and Xu Jing, Lu Zhu, and Jian Yong were the guests and friends- "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Minions belong to the positive word in ancient meaning, referring to the right-hand man, in Chen Shou's pen Ma Chao and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu stand side by side, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Ma Chao is also a member of the Five Tiger Generals, but Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun three people are too famous, overshadowing Ma Chao, so that people forget Ma Chao.
Ma Chao is famous, he is the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty Ma Yuan descendant, but passed down to Ma Teng's generation, the family road fell, when he was a child, he cut firewood for a living, because of the Qiang blood, Ma Teng people are high and big, and because of military merit, Sima and generals, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liangzhou was divided, Ma Teng also led troops against the Han, became a warlord in Liangzhou.
Ma Chao also has Qiang ancestry and can fight good battles, and in the "Commentary on the Three Kingdoms", it is said that his marksmanship is invincible, and with a tiger-headed Cham golden gun, he has fought twelve military generals such as Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Yan Yan, and is unstoppable.
Although the comments have exaggerated elements, but Ma Chao did have the name of "Jian Yong" when he was young, in the first year of Han Jian'an, Ma Teng clashed with Han Sui's subordinate Yan Xing because of a little friction, the two fought, Yan Xing stabbed Ma Chao with a spear, did not think, Ma Chao actually broke the spear.
Ma Chao has excellent ability, has been active in the battlefield, Cao Cao also wanted to recruit him, Ma Chao was unwilling to refuse, and even rebelled against Cao, Ma Chao not only had amazing combat effectiveness, but also was quite handy in the use of tactics, he and Cao Cao proposed to defend the north bank of the Wei River during the First War at Tongguan, but Han Sui asked for "half a crossing attack", and the result was a big defeat of Ma Chao's coalition army.
After Cao Cao heard about Ma Chao's plan, he also sighed: The horse does not die, and I have no burial place.
After the Battle of Tongguan, Cao Cao began to be jealous of Ma Chao, and after Ma Chao defected to Liu Bei, he also made a battle achievement, and Liu Bei also admired Ma Chao very much, why did he suddenly "disappear" from history? What about the death record of only one sentence of "two years old, forty-seven years old"?
In many history books, it is recorded that there are two kinds of Ma Chao, one is the brave and loyal Ma Chao, and the other is cold-blooded and ruthless.
When Ma Chao rebelled against Cao, Both Ma Teng and the Ma family were officials under Cao Cao, and once he rebelled against Cao Cao, he would be involved in the whole body, and the Ma family would definitely be implicated, so they were accused of the three tribes.
Later, Ma Chao turned to Zhang Lu, who was very favored by Zhang Lu, and made him a capital to talk about sacrificial wine, and also planned to marry his daughter to Ma Chao, Zhang Lu's staff reminded him of Ma Chao's extermination of the three tribes, and said: If someone does not love his relatives, can he love people?
This roughly means that Ma Chao didn't even care about his own people, how could he love others, Zhang Lu did not marry his daughter to him after hearing this, and Ma Chao also turned to Liu Bei for various reasons.
In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Ma Chao's younger brother came to pay his respects, and he was so angry that he punched his chest and vomited blood:
Zheng Dan, the horse breed shou Yu Ma Chao, Ma Chao beat his chest and vomited blood: Close the door and a hundred mouths, once the same fate, now the two of them congratulate each other!
This sentence means that more than a hundred people in the family have all been killed, and now the two of us have something to celebrate! Ma Chao here doesn't seem to be cold-blooded.
In fact, Ma Chao is not a cold-blooded person, but his ambition is too big, he is not willing to turn to Cao Cao, Zhang Lu is not a person who does big things, Liu Bei uses him very much, he also has the opportunity to become a prince of the party, but unfortunately, the "Battle of Xiayi" changed the fate of Ma Chao and Zhang Fei.
The Battle of Xiajian was an outpost battle in the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei was well prepared, and also sent two fierce generals, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, who could have imagined that the two veteran generals who had experienced hundreds of battles were defeated by the "apprentice" Cao Xiu, Liu Bei always attached importance to talent, he preferred to drop his son in order to win Zhao Yun, this battle Liu Bei was naturally very disappointed.
Ma Chao was no longer in charge of the army, and Zhang Fei was also suppressed, and Wei Yan replaced Zhang Fei as the defender of Hanzhong.
Ma Chao is indeed talented, but too conceited, because his conceit also hitched a ride on the whole family of 200 people, if Ma Chao can make a difference, perhaps he will not be so remorseful, before his death, he wrote to say:
More than two hundred mouths of the Emperor Of the Emperor were cursed by Meng De, but from his brother Dai, as the successor of The Wei Sect's blood, he deeply trusted His Majesty, and there was no reply.
Ma Chao's entire family of more than 200 people were all killed by Cao Cao, leaving only one younger brother, Ma Dai, who also entrusted Ma Dai to Shu Han, and a sentence of "Yu Wu fu" showed his deep guilt.
As for the history books do not record this history positively, it may also be to cover up the tragic situation of Cao Cao's destruction of the three ethnic groups of Ma Chao, Cao Cao did not exterminate the three tribes of others twice, but there is not much mention in the main history, after all, Cao Wei eventually unified the world, Cao Cao also became Taizu, and the Cao family naturally wanted to praise Cao Cao.
