Looking at the Three Kingdoms, you will find that Ma Chao's reasons for rebelling against Cao Cao are very far-fetched, saying that Ma Chao was worried that Cao Cao would expose the land of Liangzhou when he attacked Hanzhong, and attacked him with his belt. First of all, we must find out that Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong because Liu Bei attacked Chengdu and developed rapidly in Yizhou. Hanzhong was the gateway to Yizhou, and in order to control Liu Bei, Cao Cao sent troops to Hanzhong.
Secondly, Ma Chao was worried that Cao Cao would attack Liangzhou when he attacked Hanzhong, which could only show that Ma Chao's worry was too naïve. Although Cao Cao had a strong combat ability, if he wanted to attack Liangzhou, he had to fight it well, and it was impossible to carry Liangzhou with him.
Third, even if the other forces in Liangzhou are worried, you Ma Chao don't need to worry, why? Because Ma Chao's father had already entered the Dynasty thirteen years after Jian'an, he had already served as a guard lieutenant in the dynasty, and he carried more than 200 members of his family, which meant that Ma Teng was ready to completely defect to Cao Cao and live his life with peace of mind. In addition, the reason why Ma Teng defected to Cao Cao was that Ma Teng was very troublesome to stay in Liangzhou, and it could even be said that he could not stay any longer, because he had fallen out with his brother Han Sui. Shi Zai: "In the seventh year of Jian'an, (Ma Teng) was transformed into a general of Zhengnan and opened the capital. Later, they disagreed with Han Sui and attacked each other. But Han Sui's power in Liangzhou was more powerful than Ma Teng's, and Ma Teng could not defeat Han Sui, almost as if Ma Teng had been beaten away by Han Sui.
Fourth: Since Old Father and Han Sui are enemies, this Ma Chao does not know what is wrong with his brain, and he actually wants to find Han Sui and others to unite against Cao Cao, that is, the actual leader of His Father Ma Teng. Then according to Ma Chao's personal situation, first, his personality belongs to the hot-tempered type. Second, his ambitions are not small, he does not want his territory and troops to be annexed by Cao Cao, then that means he wants to be a prince who dominates one side, so he heard that Cao Cao sent troops, and immediately sent troops. Third, Ma Chao's IQ is basically inferior to Lü Bu's, first of all, he does not consider whether his strength can resist Cao Cao, and secondly, he does not consider how serious the consequences of defeat are.
Then the result of the battle was very sad, Ma Chao was not defeated, but was used by Cao Cao to divide the alliance between him and Han Sui, and this brainless lord was really deceived, to cut off one of Han Sui's arms, and then the two sides were like water and fire. Ma Chao was beaten badly, and his family was killed at the same time. Not only did this person not become the prince of Liangzhou that he had originally envisioned, but he also did not defeat Cao Cao, went straight down to Chang'an, laid down Xuchang, and rescued his parents. Instead, he left a bereaved dog and died alone.
If Ma Chao could not afford to rebel, could he become Cao Cao's fifth son?! This observation is surprising!
