An ominous prophecy hangs over the great Shu Han Empire. The last words left by the arrogant and uninhibited Ma Chao on his deathbed became the catalyst for the fall of Shu Han. The roots of this tragedy can be traced back to the Battle of Chengdu in 214 AD.
Chengdu defender Liu Zhang was in a desperate situation and could have defended to the end, but after Ma Chao joined Liu Bei's camp, he was disheartened and decided to surrender. Ma Chao is ferocious, and if he continues to resist, he will definitely wash Chengdu in blood and make the people suffer. Liu Zhang recognized Ma Chao's threat, and surrender became the only way out. In this way, Ma Chao swung his sword with a move, and the enemy of Xishu was overturned in an instant.
However, the whirlpool of fate swept Ma Chao into it. Seven years later, when he was seriously ill, he said to Liu Bei: "There are more than 200 members of my sect, and they have been punished by Meng De, but only from his younger brother Dai should be the successor of Weizong's blood and food, and he deeply trusts His Majesty." Ma Chao finally realized that Cao Cao's slaughter of his family was his own sin. He entrusted Liu Bei to take care of Ma Dai as the life-continuing incense of the Ma family.
Liu Bei kept his promise, and Ma Dai was reused. But after Zhuge Liang's death, Ma Dai, in order to consolidate his power, actually slaughtered the famous general Wei Yan and his family members privately. This absurd move undoubtedly self-destructed the Great Wall, which caused the vitality of Shu Han to be greatly damaged.
Forty-one years later, in 263, when Deng Yi smuggled through Yinping and went deep into Shu alone, Ma Miao, the great-grandson of Ma Chao, made a shocking decision - he led Jiangyoucheng to surrender to Wei! Deng Yi received a steady stream of supplies, and the plan to conquer Shu Han was finally launched.
History magically repeats itself. Ma Chao appeared that year, causing Liu Zhang to surrender, allowing Liu Bei to expand his territory; Many years later, Ma Miao's rebellion became the fuse for the defeat of Shu Han. Fate mercilessly teased the Ma family, like an invisible hand manipulating this farce.
The rise and fall of Shu Han is as vast as a cloud of smoke, and there is a cruel irony of Ma Chao's words. Ma Chao just wanted to find a way out for his family, but who would have thought that he would become a "life-saving straw" for the fall of Shu Han? History is always so capricious, and heroes will sooner or later become pathetic pawns.
Life is like chess, and Ma Chao's move on chess is destined to the life and death of Shu Han. His last words became the final curse, and Liu Bei's regime collapsed under the tricks of the Ma clan. This is tantamount to God's mockery of Ma Chao, allowing him to bury the Xinjiang country he founded with his own hands.
Fate plays tricks on people, and no one can escape. Ma Chao respected Liu Bei, but became an accomplice to his downfall; He hoped that Ma's incense would last forever, but as a result, the spark of the prairie devoured Shu Han cleanly. The irony of life lies in this, people pave a road for their future, but inadvertently block their own way out.
History has ups and downs, heroes have ups and downs, and Ma Chao is just one of the chess pieces. He originally wanted to protect the family, but who knew that he became the catalyst for the demise of Shu Han, which was really a laughing and angry scolding of fate. This past shows the impermanence of life, even if you are a hero, you can't escape the fate of being satirized by history in the end.
