Obviously, the young man who appears behind Ma Teng now has anyone other than Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was born in the fifth year of Xiping, and now he is a sixteen-year-old heroic boy. At the age of thirteen, Ma Chao followed Ma Teng to fight against the Qiang people, showing extraordinary strength. After three years of campaigning, Ma Chao has shown a military talent beyond ordinary people, and whenever there is a war, he follows Ma Teng around. Fight for a lifetime and make a name for yourself. However, the first half of Ma Chao's life was brilliant and brilliant, but after serving Liu Bei, he was unknown and could be said to have been beaten into the cold palace.

So, what is the reason why such a brave Ma Chao is treated like this by Liu Bei?

When Ma Chao first descended, Liu Bei treated Ma Chao very well, Ma Chao had improper etiquette for the princes for half of his life, and often called Liu Bei's cousin, Guan Yu was very angry and asked to kill Ma Chao, Liu Bei persuaded: "Ma Chao returned to me at the end of his life, and killed him because he called my cousin, how to face the world in the future." Zhang Fei also persuaded: "In this case, show him the etiquette, and he will understand." The next morning, when Ma Chao was invited to come, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood upright on both sides of Liu Bei with a knife, Ma Chao looked around the seat next to him, and did not see Guan Zhang, but saw Guan Zhang standing upright on both sides of Liu Bei with a knife, and was shocked. Since then, he has never called Liu Bei directly. The next day, he sighed: "I only knew why I failed, and I almost was killed by Guan Zhang." ”

In fact, it is also conceivable that Ma Chao used to be a power leader in Xiliang, but now he is running to Liu Bei, who was at the same level as him, as a subordinate, and it is understandable that he cannot change his heart for a while.

When it comes to the origins and revolutionary experiences of Ma Chao and Liu Bei, Liu Bei and Ma Chao cannot be compared at all.

In terms of background, Uncle Liu's identity as "after King Jing of Zhongshan" is unreliable, and although Ma Yingying is not a famous queen of the royal family, his father Ma Teng's status as a senior officer is reliable. The first generation of the Ma family in the northwest: Ma Zishuo, a grassroots cadre in Tianshui, Gansu, later did not know what mistakes he made, he was dismissed, and the government did not subsidize the cost of going home, so he took root in the northwest and was so poor that he couldn't do it, but a local beautiful and kind Qiang girl fell in love with Ma Zishuo, married him, and gave him children, so there was a second generation of Ma: Ma Teng. The second generation of Ma is still poor, as an individual lumberjack, although the locals respect this man who is "more than eight feet long, with a large body and a majestic face", but this does not mean that he has a chance, at most he will win a sentence "The old horse who sells timber is a good person." "Among ordinary people, there are more good people.

The opportunity came to the door, in the last years of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a rebellion in the northwest border city, and in that era, if you want to develop, you must either rebel or quell the chaos. The second generation of Ma participated in the rebellion, he chose the right one, so he changed his straw sandals for leather shoes, from the military Sima to the general, all the way to the general of Zhengxi, and he was regarded as a key person in the local military circles.

The third generation of the Ma family, Little Brother Ma Chao, grew up in such a background. It is not too much to say that Brother Xiao Ma is the son of a high-ranking officer. Uncle Liu Bei, the one who weaves straw mats is the one who weaves straw mats, and the elders who are nearby, especially his father, can't take out the money to give him money at all.

Brother Xiao Ma is more noble than Uncle Liu, there is no doubt about this, as for himself, Brother Xiao Ma mixed better than Uncle Liu in the early stage. In terms of the degree of destruction, Ma Chao always causes trouble for Prime Minister Cao, while Liu Bei is always troubled by Prime Minister Cao. Brother Xiao Ma killed Cao Cao to cut off his beard and abandon his robe, this is a legend, but the history books record that Brother Xiao Ma did once make the old Cao people embarrassed. In the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Ma Chao and Cao Cao fought in Tongguan, when Lao Cao wanted to cross the river, and he was in a good place, but Brother Xiao Ma moved quickly, and the soldiers had advanced to the periphery of Lao Cao's headquarters, but Lao Cao was still sitting at the desk in a daze, "Gong Yu sat on the bed." Ma Zai opened his jaw and desperately sent the leader to the boat, the river was urgent, the boat was pushed out four or five miles away, Ma Chao's troops were not slower than the river, pursuing along the coast, and the archery was as dense as rain, the posture at this time was that even ten Cao Hong and Xu Chu couldn't stop it, Brother Ma, hold on a little longer, maybe Lao Cao's history will end here, either let the arrow shoot to death, or capsize the boat to ****. It's not that Brother Xiao Ma doesn't insist, but Lao Cao herds sheep at a critical time, and the soldiers in the northwest can't change the habits of the shepherd, so they let go of Cao Cao to chase sheep, and as a result, they were let go by history.

On the other hand, Liu Bei has never made Cao Cao so embarrassed, every time Uncle Liu has an accident, Lao Cao always smooths him out like erasing a spider's web.

Therefore, Lao Cao's evaluation of Uncle Liu and Brother Xiao Ma is different. In the workplace, many times it depends on what your competitors say about you. For Liu Bei, Lao Cao said that the only heroes in the world are his Lao Cao and Uncle Liu, this is a casual conversation after tea and dinner, a calm chat, somewhat encouraging nature, or tentative nature, because before, Uncle Liu did not do anything to make Lao Cao admire. For Ma Chao, Lao Cao said: "If the horse doesn't die, I have no place to bury." This sentence is estimated to be said by Lao Cao with a heartbeat of one hundred and twenty beats per minute, in the turbulent river in front of Tongguan, in the rain of arrows, after experiencing the experience of running away with his head tied to the waistband of his trousers. To make the opponent scared is the greatest admiration.

For Lao Liu, Cao Cao is encouragement, and for pony, Cao Cao is afraid.

Let's talk about the practicality and look at the comparison between the positions of Xiaoma and Lao Liu. Before Uncle Liu Huang won Xichuan, Jingzhou, he had several brilliant positions: once he was a pastor in Xuzhou, which was given by Comrade Tao Qian, because of Lu Bu, the result was not stable; once was after he leveled Lu Bu, Lao Cao gave him a Yuzhou pastor, according to the current saying, it should be the governor of Yuzhou in the Han Empire, but unfortunately, it was just a false position, taking the governor's salary and enjoying the governor's treatment, but he did not perform his duties. At the age of forty-six, he is still in the position of Xinye County magistrate and militia commander.

Brother Xiao Ma was born with a golden key, and their Ma family's status in the northwest is not false. In terms of identity, Ma Jiajun's private army was more than the national army, and the private identity of this army was also recognized by the central government at the time. In the year of the Battle of Chibi, Lao Ma retired and went to the capital to retire, but what about the Ma Jiajun in his hands? It was not handed over to the central government, nor was it another important person sent by the central government to receive it, but it was handed over to Xiao Ma Ge, who was 33 years old at the time, to manage, and he was really a real young marshal of the Northwest Army. Uncle Liu Bei also had his own territory - Xuzhou at the age of thirty-four, but it was given by others, and what was given to you was not necessarily yours, but what he held was his own. This is the difference between Brother Xiao Ma and Uncle Liu.

Brother Xiao Ma is more noble than Uncle Liu, stronger than Uncle Liu, and more brilliant than Uncle Liu......

In short, Uncle Liu at that time was not a gangster at the same level as Brother Xiaoma. However, the historical workplace is often shuffled, shuffled and washed, the Ma family's company went bankrupt, Uncle Liu's company became bigger and bigger, and Brother Xiao Ma had to rely on Uncle Liu to pay his salary, and Brother Xiaoma's depression began......

The sharp turn in the fate of Brother Pony lies in the fact that he fights with Lao Cao, not because Pony is incompetent, but because Lao Cao is too strong. The Northwest Department is a small company, Lao Cao is a large company, and the battle between Cao and Ma is not a battle of wits and courage, but a fight for strength. Xiaoma lost the northwest, went south, arrived in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, and settled in a small company, which was Zhang Lu.

Ma Chao's tragedy and depression began. The big boss in the northwest took up residence in a small company in Hanzhong, and when the former young marshal Ma looked at the cramped world in Hanzhong, would he always think of the boundless desert and the rolling mountains in the northwest? Does he think of the thousands of troops and horses he once waved back and forth? The vastness of the past and the cramped situation now must make him difficult to let go. His depression is recorded in history, Ma Chao's concubine has a younger brother named Chong, who has been working in Hanzhong. After Ma Chao came to Hanzhong, one year during the Spring Festival, he gave his brother-in-law Ma Chao holiday congratulations, and Ma Shaoshuai's reaction was to "beat his chest and vomit blood", he said very sadly: "Hundreds of our Ma family members were killed by Cao thieves on the same day, what else do we two have to celebrate?" Ma Chao's family, including Lao Ma, was brutally killed by Cao Cao.

It's just a small company, but the boss is also small, Zhang Lu gave this Northwest hero a clerical job: all talk about sacrificial wine. At that time, Zhang Lu wanted to marry his daughter to him, but seeing that he was about to marry the general manager, some people got in the way: Boss, a person who dares to gamble with his father's life, will he take your daughter seriously? So, this family business is stopped. The pony is indeed a little reckless, when he started in the northwest, his father was still holding it in Lao Cao's hands, not the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said that Lao Cao killed Lao Ma first, and Pony rebelled again. Of course, as for whether there is any reason for this, it is impossible to know.

Everyone knows that the final destination of Brother Xiaoma's workplace is Uncle Liu. This hero, every time he changes workplaces, he has to carry the experience of blood and tears. From the northwest to Hanzhong, at the cost of the lives of a family of more than 200 people, and from Hanzhong to Liu Bei, he left his wife, Ms. Dong, and his son Ma Qiu, to Zhang Lu. When Cao Cao entered Hanzhong, he would not give a good arrangement to Xiaoma's family, he gave Ms. Dong to a guy named Yan Pu; the most vicious arrangement was to give Ma Qiu to Zhang Lu, in fact, this was a move to test Zhang Lu's loyalty and subordination.

Ma Chao came to Uncle Liu with a lot of blood and tears, the former Northwest hero, but now he is just an employee who eats a mouthful. He was safe, however, his depression was not over and was still continuing.

Brother Xiao Ma settled down in the new company, and got a very high position, at first he was named General Zuo, and he also had the right to make temporary military decisions, which was called "Fake Festival", that is, the power of military administrative agency. Later, he was a hussar general, and a state pastor, and even once guarded the first strategic place of Shu Han: Hanzhong. Hanzhong's status in Shu Han at that time was equivalent to the Golan Heights for Israel, and Xiao Ma Ge was probably equivalent to the commander of the corps stationed in the Golan Heights. Moreover, the new boss Liu Bei also has a special appointment for him, and there is a special document to tell about Ma Chao's status in the new company, and Liu Bei made it clear in the document that he and Ma Chao have a common strategic goal: to deal with Cao Cao. "Cao Cao's father and son, the world has carried their crimes, I used misery, and I was like a disease. "That means, Comrade Ma Chao, we have a common enemy: Cao Cao. Their fathers and sons are heinous in their crimes, and I hate them as much as you do. Then, the document clarified Ma Chao's workplace positioning: with his prestige in the northwest, unite all the forces that can be united in the northwest to fight against the Cao group.

It is unknown whether the emotions of other colleagues are stable, anyway, Brother Xiaoma's emotions have not been stable. That year, a member of the Shuhan Group named Peng Yi was assigned to a remote area as a taishou. Among the elites of the Shuhan group, Peng Yi belonged to the local faction, and his talent was recognized by the two heavyweight staff officers, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng, and then he was able to enter Liu Bei's field of vision. Liu Bei reused him, to the point of "instructing the generals", he also lived up to his responsibilities and made Liu Bei very "satisfied". According to this trend, he can go to the point where Zhuge Liang is unified, however, Zhuge Liang has set up obstacles on Peng Yi's career promotion road, he thinks that Peng Yi is unreliable, "big and ambitious", and the most taboo thing for a boss to subordinate is: big ambition. Liu Bei chose the latter between the local faction and the Nanyang faction, so Peng Yi, who was proud of the spring breeze, was suddenly terminated from his brilliant road and was sent abroad as a local cadre.

Peng Yi naturally thought of the same kind of ********, and he found Ma Chao before going out to work. There is a mystery in this sign, a localist elite finds a warlord in the northwest, what is he going to do? Why is he looking for him? Not to mention what he wants to do, why he is looking for him shows a phenomenon: Ma Chao is also one of the ********. There are records of the talks between the two, and Ma Chao said a kind word: "Mr. Peng, you should have been a first-class figure in Zhuge Liang's law, but now you are sent abroad as a local cadre, which actually makes everyone quite disappointed." Brother Xiao Ma can't speak, at this time, he should say something to encourage Mr. Peng to work hard outside, to believe in the organization and the like, but he used the words to scratch the itch of others, and as a result, the more serious words came out, Peng Yi finally got out of his intentions: "You and I should be together inside and outside, and the world is our brothers." ”

At this time, Ma Chao was petrified. Under the fence, he has suffered repeated setbacks, at this moment he no longer has the thief's heart and courage in the northwest, what he thinks of is not to show his hands and feet, to establish a hegemony, he just thinks of protecting himself, he has died more than 200 relatives, he can no longer afford to die, can no longer afford to play, "Three Kingdoms" clearly recorded his mood: "Returning from detention, often fearful." For Peng Yi's rebellious words, the "majestic" little brother Ma has a "silent answer" at the moment. Next, he made a very correct political choice for himself, and it was also a very unheroic choice: report to the Shuhan Central Committee and expose Peng Yi's crimes.

This political incident did not affect Ma Chao, but it may have hit his mood hard, I don't know how many times he has tossed and turned, how many times he has been like a man, anxious about his fate, with a precarious mood to live in the new company.

Perhaps, Liu Bei Group was also jealous of Ma Chao, so he did not dare to give military power to Ma Chao, so that Ma Chao spent the second half of his life in depression.

In the end, Ma Chao said to Liu Bei before he died: "The 200 people under the Chen clan were killed by Cao Cao, and only my younger brother Ma Dai was left. ”

Then, perhaps out of compensation for Ma Chao, Ma Dai was indeed reused. In the battle of Zhuge Liang's six out of Qishan, Ma Dai has always existed as the main general, in addition to the withering of the Shu Han generals, there is also the reason for Ma Chao's words.

It can be said that the second half of Ma Chao's life was sad, lonely and miserable. Now, Yuan Chang has traveled to this era, and Liu Bei has exposed his true colors in advance to take Xuzhou, so will Liu Zhang still recruit this hungry wolf into his home? If there is no such thing, Ma Chao will naturally not run to Liu Bei's command as a thug. In this way, what kind of life Ma Chao will have seems to be worth looking forward to. (To be continued.) )
