As Ma Chao's cousin and deputy general, Ma Dai's ability is still very good, especially after the death of the Five Tigers, Ma Dai can almost be regarded as the number one fierce general in the Shu army, and during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Ma Dai was also very important. However, what is confusing is that since Ma Dai killed Wei Yan, he seems to have disappeared, so where did Ma Dai go? How did he end?
Ma Dai
Ma Dai, like Pound, was Ma Chao's deputy general, and he performed very well during the battle against the enemy. In the battle of Gemeng Pass, Wei Yan had been planted in the hands of Ma Dai, and if Zhang Fei had not appeared in time, Wei Yan would most likely become Ma Dai's revenant under the knife, which shows how powerful Ma Dai is.
In the Battle of Yiling, the elite talents of the Shu Han Dynasty were so badly lost that during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, there was an extreme lack of talents, and people like Ma Chen had to be used. And with the death of General Wuhu, the generals of the Shu army also withered rapidly, and in the later period, the Shu army even appeared "there are no generals in Shu, and Liao turned into a vanguard", which shows how lacking the Shu army is.
According to common sense, with Ma Dai's talent, he can completely become a general in the Shu army to support a façade, and Zhuge Liang is also extremely important to Ma Dai himself, and the big job of killing Wei Yan is handed over to Ma Dai, so Ma Dai's follow-up development should be very smooth, but since killing Wei Yan, Ma Dai has disappeared, which makes everyone feel very strange! Where did Ma Dai go?
In fact, according to Ma Dai's strength and Zhuge Liang's trust in him, he should not have disappeared in the Shu army! After killing Wei Yan, the reason why Ma Dai will completely disappear is mainly because he was suppressed by two forces, and in this situation, it is not difficult to imagine the end of Ma Dai!
Ma Dai is involved in a terrible conspiracy
After Ma Dai followed Ma Chao into Shu Han, in fact, the treatment has not been very good, because the people of Liu Bei Group do not fully trust them. After Liu Bei died and Zhuge Liang took the throne, Ma Dai finally woke up, hugged Zhuge Liang's thighs tightly, and successfully mixed into a good position in the Shu army. However, as the conflict between Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan intensified, Ma Dai was forced to get involved in a conspiracy!
The contradiction between Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan has a long history, but when Liu Bei was alive, the contradiction between the two did not intensify. After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang began the Northern Expedition, and the intersection between him and Wei Yan increased, and the contradictions between the two sides became greater and greater.
On the one hand, there were differences in combat strategies between Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan. Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan both knew that the Shu Han state was not as powerful as Cao Wei, but they had completely different ideas on how to deal with Cao Wei. Zhuge Liang believed that since the gap in national strength between the two countries was huge, it was necessary to avoid confrontation with the Wei army, but should gradually encroach on the Wei state. Wei Yan, on the other hand, believes that since the gap between the national strength of the two countries is huge, if you want to defeat the Wei Kingdom, you must take the enemy by surprise!
On the other hand, the personalities between Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan are completely different! Zhuge Liang was young and proud, and as soon as he came out of the mountain, he became the second-in-command of Liu Bei Group, and his personality was very arrogant. Every time he arranged a combat mission, Zhuge Liang would not explain to his subordinates why he arranged it this way, but just let others obey, which caused a lot of contradictions with his subordinates. A typical example is Guan Yu Zhang Fei disobeying Zhuge Liang! You know, when Xu Shu was a military master, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very well-behaved, why were they just dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang? In fact, it was because Zhuge Liang was too arrogant and did not disdain to explain his combat ideas to his subordinates!
Like Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan is also a proud person, he is also very confident in his abilities, and he is not very convinced by Zhuge Liang. Coupled with the fact that Zhuge Liang did not make meritorious contributions during the first two Northern Expeditions, Wei Yan questioned Zhuge Liang's ability. And the two are proud people who never communicate with each other, so the contradictions between the two are getting bigger and bigger, and finally directly evolved into a life and death situation!
At that time, Wei Yan was very dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang, so he directly prodded his colleagues to confront Zhuge Liang, and did not listen to Zhuge Liang's military orders, which eventually led to the defeat of the Shu army and the loss of generals. And after learning of Wei Yan's disobedience, Zhuge Liang also immediately killed Wei Yan!
Original text: And said that Deng Zhi returned to Kong Ming, and said that Wei Yan and Chen Shi were so rude. Kong Ming smiled: "Wei Yansu has the opposite phase, I know that he often has the meaning of injustice; For mercy and courage. My past and the emperor before said that after a long time, there will be trouble. Now that it has been revealed, it can be removed. ”
Zhuge Liang wanted to kill Wei Yan, and the man he used was Ma Dai! At that time, Zhuge Liang asked Wei Yan to lure Sima Yi into the upper valley, and when Wei Yan entered the valley, Zhuge Liang asked Ma Dai to seal the exit of the valley tail, preparing to burn Wei Yan and Sima Yi together. Who knew that heavy rain fell in the sky and saved Wei Yan's life. After Wei Yan came out, Zhuge Liang asked Ma Dai to shift all the responsibility to Yang Yi, intensifying the conflict between Yang Yi and Wei Yan, and by the way, let Ma Dai defect to Wei Yan, preparing for the next action to kill Wei Yan.
Before Zhuge Liang's death, he held a meeting to arrange the aftermath, deliberately did not notify Wei Yan to come to participate, and deliberately handed over the power of the Shu army to Yang Yi, the purpose of which was to intensify the contradiction between Yang Yi and Wei Yan and force Wei Yan to oppose Wei Yan. When Wei Yan fought with Yang Yi and others, Zhuge Liang arranged for Ma Dai, who was ambushed by Wei Yan's side, to take the opportunity to kill, so in the end, Wei Yan died at the hands of Ma Dai, and Ma Dai became the biggest hero who killed the anti-thief!
On the surface, Ma Dai should be rewarded, and the future is limitless, but in fact, since killing Wei Yan, Ma Dai's treatment has plummeted and finally disappeared! Because since Ma Dai was involved in the conspiracy to kill Wei Yan, two forces were destined to suppress him, and he was destined to continue to be in a high position!
Repression from Liu Chan
After Yang Yi killed Wei Yan, he originally thought that he could get Liu Chan's reward and become Zhuge Liang's successor, but Liu Chan, very little, did not use him, but sent him to prison, which made everyone very puzzled, why did Liu Chan's treat Yang Yi like this?
In fact, the reason why Liu Chan would treat Yang Yi like this was because of Wei Yan's identity! Wei Yan was pulled up by Liu Bei with one hand, and he is loyal to Liu Bei, and it can be said that he is the henchman of the Liu family! It was precisely for this reason that when he heard that Wei Yan had raised troops against Yang Yi, Liu Chan's reaction was very intriguing!
At first, due to the poor channel, everyone did not understand the truth of the matter, but everyone in the dynasty sided with Yang Yi, thinking that Wei Yan was rebelling, but Liu Chan did not express his position on this. When the exact news came and it was confirmed that Wei Yan took the initiative to send troops to attack Yang Yi, everyone in the dynasty suggested sending troops to recruit Wei Yan and kill Wei Yan, but Liu Chan's reaction was once again different from ordinary people!
Original text: Neglect to report Fei Yi to. After the Lord summoned in, he played Wei Yan's anti-feelings. The latter lord said: "If so, let Dong Yun release the persuasion on leave, and soothe it with good words." "Leave with permission.
Look at what Liu Zen said! What is "good words to soothe"? Liu Chan knew that Wei Yan took the initiative to send troops to attack Yang Yi, and also asked Dong Yun to persuade Wei Yan with good words, instead of crusading and killing Wei Yan, which shows that he does not want to kill Wei Yan at all! That is to say, Liu Chan has always regarded Wei Yan as a confidant, and he is not willing to make a move on Wei Yan at all, and even said that taking the opportunity to seize military power may also be deliberately arranged by Liu Chan...
Understanding Liu Chan's statement in the Wei Yan incident, in fact, we are very clear about the relationship between Liu Chan, Wei Yan, and it is precisely because of this relationship that Yang Yi, who killed Wei Yan, was suppressed and eventually died. And Ma Dai, who also participated in the killing of Wei Yan, the result is naturally self-evident!
Repression from Zhuge Liang's successors
Zhuge Liang arranged for Ma Dai to kill Wei Yan, obviously treating Ma Dai as a confidant, and according to common sense, Zhuge Liang's successor should provide protection for Ma Dai and let him have a broad future. In fact, judging from the different endings of Ma Dai and Yang Yi, Zhuge Liang's successor has indeed achieved the protection of Ma Dai!
Yang Yi was suppressed by Liu Chan, and was eventually executed by Liu Chan, but there is no record of Ma Dai being executed in the history books and the romance books, it is clear that Ma Dai was not killed, and he ended much better than Yang Yi! However, although Ma Dai did not die, he was not famous after that, and it is obvious that he was still suppressed, and part of this suppression originated from Zhuge Liang's successor!
To put it bluntly, Ma Dai is a dirty worker, and a dirty worker cannot appear in the public eye in an upright manner! Because once Ma Dai leaks the wind and says the wrong thing, then the story of Zhuge Liang's death of Wei Yan will be widely spread and affect Zhuge Liang's reputation. Therefore, although Zhuge Liang's successors successfully saved Ma Dai's life, they will definitely not leave Ma Dai's potential danger around, send him far away, cut off his communication with the court, and let him be a rich man, which is the best choice!
epilogue
In general, the reason why Ma Dai completely disappeared after killing Wei Yan was mainly because he was suppressed by two forces! Wei Yan was Liu Chan's confidant, and Ma Dai killed Wei Yan and was bound to be suppressed by Liu Chan. And Ma Dai helped Zhuge Liang do so much dirty work, Zhuge Liang's successor was worried about his leakage, and naturally he would suppress it. So under the suppression of the two forces, it is not difficult to imagine the end of Ma Dai: don't think about it, you can only be a rich man, this remnant life...
