The old brother Zhao Yun was not reused, so why did Liu Bei want to make Ma Chao a general and a Liangzhou Mu? Ma Chao was a native of Fufeng County, and his father, Ma Teng, was a leading local general. Later, because of his fallout with another general, Han Sui, Ma Teng took the initiative to ask the imperial court to transfer him back to the capital. However, although Ma Teng left, his son Ma Chao inherited the army left by his father. Therefore, the Ma family is still very powerful in the local area. However, if Ma Chao did not die young, who can say that during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, Ma Chao could not play an important role?

The old brother Zhao Yun was not reused, so why did Liu Bei want to make Ma Chao a general and a Liangzhou Mu? Ma Chao was a native of Fufeng County, and his father, Ma Teng, was a leading local general. Later, because of his fallout with another general, Han Sui, Ma Teng took the initiative to ask the imperial court to transfer him back to the capital. However, although Ma Teng left, his son Ma Chao inherited the army left by his father. Therefore, the Ma family is still very powerful in the local area. However, if Ma Chao did not die young, who can say that during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, Ma Chao could not play an important role?

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and all kinds of tyrants competed to rise. After some competition, Cao Cao gradually unified most of the northern region. Immediately afterward, Cao Cao aimed his conquest at Xiliang. As a result, the contradiction between Cao Cao and Ma Chao intensified.

Ma Chao, Han Sui, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Cheng Yi, and others joined forces against Cao Cao.

Cao Cao personally led his troops to suppress them, and soon defeated these rabble-rousers! Ma Chao fled because he was unable to resist the enemy, and went straight to Hanzhong to defect to Zhang Lu. As a result, Cao Cao killed more than 200 members of Ma Chao's entire family!

Because Zhang Lu's mind is not open enough and his vision is not sharp enough, it is doomed to achieve great things with him. Therefore, Ma Chao quietly wrote a "letter of allegiance" to Liu Bei, claiming that he was willing to help Liu Bei attack Chengdu.

The old brother Zhao Yun was not reused, so why did Liu Bei want to make Ma Chao a general and a Liangzhou Mu? Ma Chao was a native of Fufeng County, and his father, Ma Teng, was a leading local general. Later, because of his fallout with another general, Han Sui, Ma Teng took the initiative to ask the imperial court to transfer him back to the capital. However, although Ma Teng left, his son Ma Chao inherited the army left by his father. Therefore, the Ma family is still very powerful in the local area. However, if Ma Chao did not die young, who can say that during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, Ma Chao could not play an important role?

Liu Bei accepted Ma Chao. Therefore, Ma Chao took his men to defect to Liu Bei and attacked Chengdu with the Jingzhou soldiers. When Liu Zhang heard that Ma Chao had defected to Liu Bei, his heart became more and more panicked.

Under the siege of Liu Bei and Ma Chao's two armies, Chengdu was already precarious. In order to survive, Liu Zhang had to take the initiative to surrender the city! After taking Yizhou, Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao and captured Hanzhong. As a result, Liu Bei proclaimed himself the "King of Hanzhong" and made Ma Chao a general of the left.

In 221, after Liu Bei ascended to the imperial throne in Chengdu, he also made Ma Chao a general of the Hussars, as well as Liangzhou Mu, and was given the title of "Marquis of Xiangxiang". Although Liangzhou had fallen into the hands of Cao Wei, Ma Chao's "Liangzhou Mu" was not real, but after all, it was a nominal local official!

For a "non-concubine" general like Ma Chao, who had just defected to Liu Bei for a short time, such a reward was simply a special honor! Even Liu Bei's old subordinate, "fourth brother" Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong, was only a so-called "General of the Yi Army"! Later, it was only after Liu Chan came to power that Zhao Yun was made the "Middle Protector", the general of Junnan, and the "Marquis of Yongchangting".

The old brother Zhao Yun was not reused, so why did Liu Bei want to make Ma Chao a general and a Liangzhou Mu? Ma Chao was a native of Fufeng County, and his father, Ma Teng, was a leading local general. Later, because of his fallout with another general, Han Sui, Ma Teng took the initiative to ask the imperial court to transfer him back to the capital. However, although Ma Teng left, his son Ma Chao inherited the army left by his father. Therefore, the Ma family is still very powerful in the local area. However, if Ma Chao did not die young, who can say that during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, Ma Chao could not play an important role?

So, why is Liu Bei so heavy on Ma Chao? In fact, this is also Liu Bei's appointment because of people. Because Ma Chao was very influential in Liangzhou, and Liangzhou was a settlement of Qiang and Hu people at that time. As Yang Fu said to Cao Cao at that time: "Chao has faith, Bu Zhiyong, and even Qiang and Hu Xin..." (Romance of the Three Kingdoms) and Liu Bei also said when he was fengma Chao as a pastor of Liangzhou: "... Hai Nei was resentful, returned to the opposite, and Yu Yu and Qiang served and mu yi. With Junxin Zhuo Northern Soil, mighty and mighty, it is to appoint a monarch to resist the flying tiger..." (Romance of the Three Kingdoms)

What does this passage mean? What Liu Bei said was: Because Cao Pi usurped Han to stand on his own, everyone in Hai was indignant! People all hope that the country will return to the correct path at an early date (restoring the old appearance of the Han Dynasty), and even the Qiang and Qiang people are willing to contribute to the restoration of the Han Dynasty. Because you have a lot of prestige among the Qiang and The Qiang people, I have specially entrusted you with a heavy responsibility! I hope that you can work hard, make contributions as soon as possible, and don't live up to my high hopes!

It can be seen that Liu Bei's use of Ma Chao in an extraordinary way is entirely out of the use of Ma Chao's strength to achieve his purpose of annexing Liangzhou!

The old brother Zhao Yun was not reused, so why did Liu Bei want to make Ma Chao a general and a Liangzhou Mu? Ma Chao was a native of Fufeng County, and his father, Ma Teng, was a leading local general. Later, because of his fallout with another general, Han Sui, Ma Teng took the initiative to ask the imperial court to transfer him back to the capital. However, although Ma Teng left, his son Ma Chao inherited the army left by his father. Therefore, the Ma family is still very powerful in the local area. However, if Ma Chao did not die young, who can say that during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, Ma Chao could not play an important role?

It is a great pity that in the second year of Liu Bei's reign as emperor (the second year of Zhang Wu), that is, in 222 AD, Ma Chao, who was only 47 years old, died of illness!
