After the contradiction between the brothers Ma Teng and Han Sui was mediated by Zhong Xuan and Wei Duan, although the two still cooperated, basically Ma Teng was in Guanzhong and Han Sui was in Liangzhou, and there was not much intersection.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > Ma Teng was loved by the three auxiliary people</h1>
The weather in the western cool is cold, the land harvest is not as rich as in Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and the natural living conditions are very bad. In addition, there are relatively few Han Chinese, and the Qiang, Qi and other ethnic groups live in mixed quarters, and the people's customs are fierce.
In such a survival environment, only a cold and strong personality can survive the fittest. The things that can be solved by hand generally do not need to move.
(Northwest Iron-Blooded Man)
So we can see that the personality of the Western Liang people at that time was relatively thin and cool, which was different from the Middle-earth people, which was probably an important reason why they were regarded as barbarians!
The reason why Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, and Han Sui were able to stand out among the many Xiliang people was that in addition to being fierce and strong enough, it also had a lot to do with the fact that they were much more cunning and intelligent than others.
Xiliang people have more advantages in personality and body, but their IQ is relatively weak and lacking. And Ma Teng and Han Sui sex have this advantage for them, so their brothers can become the strongest in Xiliang.
And Ma Teng has another advantage over Han Sui.
Since Ma Teng rebelled in Liangzhou in the fourth year of Zhongping (187), he entered the Kou Sanfu three times and stationed right Fufeng for two long periods, and "Xiliang" Ma Teng's warlord career was actually spent more time in Guanzhong.
(Ma Teng was loved by the people)
In Guanzhong, people saw Ma Teng guarding against the invasion of Hu Kou in the north, being virtuous and generous, respecting scholars, recommending talents, and compassioning and saving the people.
Therefore, Ma Teng can get the support of both the scholars and the love of the three auxiliary people.

Save Hedong defeated Guo Yuan
In the seventh year of Jian'an (202), Yuan Shao fell ill and died, and Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shang's Liyang. In order to alleviate the pressure on Li Yang, Yuan Shang ordered Shi Gaogan to send troops to Hedong Commandery.
(Guo Yuan also contacted Ma Teng and other Princes of Guannei)
Gao Gan and Guo Yuan put a lot of pressure on Hedong, and Cao Cao could not spare the energy to take care of this side. Therefore, lieutenant Zhong Xuan asked Ma Teng's neighbor, Xinfeng County, to persuade Ma Teng to lead the Guanzhong princes led by Ma Teng, who was stationed in Huaili.
How could such a cunning person as Ma Teng casually give Cao Cao a gun! At both ends of the rat, he also agreed to send troops to respond to Guo Yuan.
While he was watching, Fu Gan, the son of fu xie, who refused to survive and die in order to protect Liangzhou, gave him an analysis of the pros and cons and persuaded him to side with Cao Cao.
Therefore, Ma Teng and the princes of Guanzhong sided with Cao Cao, and the combined forces of Ma Chao's commander Han Sui and other princes sent troops to Hedong, forcing the Xiongnu Nandan to submit again to Hu kitchen spring, defeating Guo Yuan's army, and Pound personally beheaded Guo Yuan.
(Hu Kitchenquan surrendered, Guo Yuan was defeated)
Ma Teng sided with Cao Cao, helped him solve the crisis on the western front, and made Yuan Shangwei Wei's plan to save Zhao fail, which gave Cao Cao the advantage of the Battle of Liyang, and Ma Teng's contribution was indispensable.
As a result, Ma Teng was re-promoted to general of Zhengnan, and Han Sui was once again promoted to a heavy general like General Zhengxi, and both were allowed to open the province.
Quell the rebellion of the high cadres
In the tenth year of Jian'an (205), the high-ranking cadres who rebelled in Hezhou ran to Cao Cao's backyard and si lied to Hedong and Hongnong to do things.
Hedong Weigu, Hongnong Zhang Yan, and Zhang Baiqi, the leader of the Montenegrin Army who was active in this area, all responded to Gao Gan. At this time, Cao Cao was besieging gaogan HuguanCheng in the Shangdang Mountains of Hezhou, and he could not open his body.
When needed most, Ma Teng was on again. He and Zhong Xuan first sent troops to Hedong to kill Wei Gu, then eliminated Zhang Yan at Hongnong, and eliminated Zhang Baiqi between the two mountains, causing Gao Gan to flee to Jingzhou with only a few horses left, and was killed by Shangluo Du.
(Powerful Ma Jiajun)
Ma Teng went out of Hedong and Hongnong to quell the rebellion this time, and he made meritorious contributions to defending the land, and also swept away Cao Cao's worries and made great contributions to quelling the rebellion of Gao Gan.
In this battle, Han Sui did not know whether he had sent troops to participate, and Ma Teng was promoted to former general, False Festival, and Marquis of Fenghuaili (now still in the Han Dynasty, the general of the four sides was greater than the four marches).
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" > enlisted in the DPRK</h1>
Like Sun Quan, Although Ma Teng was nominally loyal to the imperial court and worked for the imperial court, he had independent arms and ambitions, and Cao Cao was still very worried at the critical time.
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), Cao Cao planned to march south on Liu Biao, but the most worried was Ma Teng in Huaili. This guy is too cunning, and he has a lot of appeal in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, in case I go south and join Han Sui and they will go out of the east together.
Therefore, he sent Zhang Jie, the royal liaison for Ma Teng, to persuade Ma Teng to abandon his troops and enter the DPRK as an official. At this time, Han Sui was about seventy years old, Ma Teng was also old, and it was also a good choice to spend his old age in the dynasty, so he agreed to Zhang Jie at that time.
(Zhang Jie was promoted to Jing Zhaoyin for his merits)
But soon Ma Teng hesitated again, and now that he had handed over his military power, he would be the lamb to be slaughtered by Cao Cao in the future. The army is still in hand, as long as they are unhappy, they can also pull out and fight with Cao Cao.
Zhang was afraid of change, so he sent a letter to the counties and counties along the way to Xudu to do a good job of receiving Ma Teng in advance, and every time he went to a place, Taishou and other officials of the level of 2,000 stones went to the outskirts of the city to greet him. This is too face-saving, Ma Teng has experienced this kind of scenery in his life, and the clouds and fog will enter XuDu in the east.
Ma Teng's most reassuring thing was that Cao Cao made his eldest son Ma Chao a partial general and continued to stay in Huaili to command his old department. The army in the hands of his son is equivalent to still in his hands, and he has also mixed with a guard lieutenant who is one of the nine secretaries in the imperial court, so why not enjoy it! Ha ha!
Cao Cao also enfeoffed Ma Teng's other two sons, Ma Xiu as the Fengche Du Wei and Ma Tie as the Riding Du Wei, and moved to Yecheng with all the ma family members.
(Ma family father and son)
In fact, Ma Teng was a high-ranking official in the Xudu imperial court, Ma Chao was in charge of the Ma family army as a general, and the whole family lived in the High Gate compound of Yecheng, if they could serve the country well, the prestige of the Ma family would surely be passed on for hundreds of generations.
But who knows what happened later, that's the last word.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="46" > summary</h1>
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms writes Ma Teng as one of the eighteen anti-Dong Zhuo princes, which seems to beautify Ma Teng, in fact, Ma Teng really won the hearts of the soldiers and the three auxiliary people, and indeed made a great dedication to the country, so it is reasonable to be beautified by the people.
Han Sui and Ma Teng, who had different starting points, came together because of similar cunning and viciousness, and later knew each other and married Jinlan, but in the end they could only part ways. What they did not expect was that Ma Teng's entry into the dynasty was originally to plan a beautiful future for the Ma family, but because of the later changes, he became a farewell.
And Cao Cao's conquest of Ma Teng into the dynasty, at this time there was no bad thoughts, it was just that there was no worries when he invaded Jingzhou in the south. Such a result is undoubtedly perfect, without that change, the Cao family and the Ma family may stage a good story like the Yang family.
But how could Cao Cao get it now? So in July, Cao Cao officially sent an army to conquer Jingzhou in the south.
