Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, established Shu Han, made Ma Chao a hussar general, led the Liangzhou pastor, and entered the feudal (tái) township.

In the second year of Zhangwu of Shu Han (222), Ma Chao was seriously ill and gave Liu Bei, "The 200 people under the Chen clan were killed by Cao Cao, and only his younger brother Ma Dai remained. ”

In December of the same year, Ma Chao died of illness at the age of 47.

In the third year of Jingyao (260 years), in September, Ma Chao and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Pang Tong, and Huang Zhong were posthumously awarded the nickname, and Ma Chao was called "Weihou".

…… ……

After three years of struggle, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang surrendered many generals in Xichuan, occupied a lot of territory in Xichuan, and gradually completed the encirclement of Chengdu with Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others.

The addition of Ma Chao not only further strengthened Liu Bei's military strength, but also caused a lot of panic to Liu Zhang at that time, thereby accelerating the surrender of Liu Zhang's army.

Then Liu Bei and Xiahou Yuan competed for Hanzhong, although Liu Bei's strength increased greatly after occupying Xichuan, but when attacking Hanzhong, there was still a shortage of troops, and even to the point of men's battles and women's transportation.

Ma Chao argued with Zhang Feitun's soldiers, and Ma Chao was known for his prestige in the Xiliang area, and instigated more than 10,000 people from the seven divisions of Lei Ding of the Di tribe to respond to Liu Bei, and contributed a lot of military strength to Liu Beijun in Hanzhong.

After Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, more than 120 ministers jointly wrote to Emperor Han Xian to express Liu Bei's throne as the king of Hanzhong, and the joint letter was headed by Ma Chao.

…… ……

At first, Guan Yu heard that Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, because Ma Chao was not an old man, so he wrote to Zhuge Liang to ask who could compare with Ma Chao.

Zhuge Liang knew that Guan Yu was protecting him, so he wrote back to Guan Yu and said, "Ma Chaowen is a martial artist, brave and fierce beyond ordinary people, he is a rare outstanding talent in this world, and he is a person like Peng Yue and Di Bu, who can compete with Zhang Fei side by side, but he can't reach your unique superior ability." ”

Guan Yu was very happy when he saw the letter and showed it to all the guests.

When Liu Bei ascended to the throne of Hanzhong, he named Huang Zhong as the rear general, Zhuge Liang thought that Huang Zhong's reputation was not as good as Guan Yu and Ma Chao, and I was afraid that Guan Yu would not like it. But Liu Bei used Fei Shi to skillfully resolve Guan Yu's dissatisfaction.

…… ……

Ma Chao has at least two wives who have ended up miserable, let's look at one wife in the early years.

Ma Chao's wife's surname is Yang, the year of birth and death is ominous, and she is from Liangzhou. Married to Ma Chao in his early years, followed Ma Chao to fight in Bingzhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou, and gave birth to children for Ma Chao. After the defeat of Ma Chao's coalition army in Weinan, Yang fled to Liangzhou with Ma Chao, and soon Ma Chao counterattacked and annexed the counties of Longshang.

Ma Chao occupied Jicheng, killed Shi Weikang, the assassin of Liangzhou, and forcibly recruited Zhao Ang, the old department of Weikang.

Yang heard that Zhao Ang's wife Wang Yi was doing well, so he set up a banquet to entertain Wang Yi.

In order to let Zhao Ang gain Ma Chao's trust and create an opportunity for revenge in the future, Wang Yi pretended to say to the Yang family at the banquet, "In the past, Guan Zhong entered the Qi State and made great contributions to the Qin State, and Qin Mu Gong achieved hegemony. Now, Sheji has just stabilized, and in order to control the rebellion in Longxi, it is necessary to use people properly, so that the horses of Liangzhou can compete with the Central Plains, and they cannot be negligent. ”

Yang took Wang Yi's words as Ma Chao's learning, Ma Chao thought that Wang Yi's words were very insightful, and most of them came from Zhao Ang's mouth, so Ma Chao promoted Zhao Ang to a very important position. The Yang family thought that Wang Yi was loyal to Ma Chao and commensurate with Wang Yi's sisters, and the two of them were sweet buddies and sisters, to the extent that they did not distinguish each other, which made Ma Chao trust Zhao Ang even more, so it caused a tragedy in Jizhou. Yang and her children were also killed by Zhao Ang. "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: Emperor Wu" records: the first month of the spring of the nineteenth year,...... Xiao (枭, that is, the meaning of "Xiao Shou", Xiao Shou, that is, to cut off the head and hang it at the city gate, and show it to the public in the bustling market) his wife, super to Hanzhong.

This time, Ma Chao escaped, but unfortunately, his wife and children were killed, and the end was very tragic and sad.

It's not that women can't, most of women's judgments are too emotional. In such a group of heroes, loyalty and treachery are difficult to distinguish, good and bad are not distinguished, how can women be at home and still emotional, how can they come to the right conclusion? Giving ideas to husbands who do big things is mostly bad ideas.

The Yang family caused a murderous disaster.

Walking to the city gate, Wang Yi saw the head of the Yang family hanging at the city gate, and spat fiercely.

…… ……

This Wang Yi was written earlier and will not be repeated.

…… ……

Ma Chao's other wife, surnamed Dong, Dong.

Ma Chao defected to Zhang Lu, because Zhang Lu was not a person who did big things, and he was suspicious and ill-intentioned towards Ma Chao, Ma Chao really couldn't stay in Hanzhong, so he defected to Liu Bei.

"Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Ma Chao" records: Lu is not enough and calculated, and he is conceived in Yi, and he hears that the first lord besieges Liu Zhang in Chengdu, and the secret book asks for surrender.

After Ma Chao fled, his wife and son remained with Zhang Lu. Later, Cao Cao surrendered Zhang Lu, gave Ma Chao's wife to Yan Pu, and gave Ma Chao's son to Zhang Lu, and Zhang Lu killed Ma Chao's son with his own hands.

Who is Yan Pu? He was originally a strategist under Zhang Lu, and there is no record of how Yan Pu treated the Dong family.

Ma Chao was a well-known military general in China at this time, and he was very handsome, and it was conceivable what the wife he was looking for looked like.

…… ……

Ma Chao also has a unique martial arts that has been passed down in the world:

"Tricks". Ma Chao has a set of military formation swordsmanship called "Out of the Technique" that has been circulated in the world, which is recorded in books such as "Preparing for the Sea Chart", "Jiangnan Jinglu", and "Array Chronicle".

"Xiliang palm", also known as Xiyang palm or Xiyang palm, according to legend, Ma Chao, according to the master's guidance of the yin and yang palm, created his own Xiliang palm. It is recorded in the "Dictionary of Martial Arts".

"Fei Laos", a cool Taoist in the Jiaqing period, recorded Ma Chao's stunt flying Laos, which is the ancestral stunt of the Ma family, created by Ma Yuan, and the Yuan miscellaneous drama "Shouting Hou angrily slashed Guan Ping" and "Celebrating the Winter Solstice to Share the Taiping Banquet" all mention that Ma Chao used the ancestral Fei Laos to dominate the world, and no one is invincible. It is also mentioned in the Yue opera "To Jin Laos".

…… ……

According to the "Wei Luo", Ma Chao and the generals of Guanzhong rebelled against Cao Cao, held Jia Hong hostage, and ordered Jia Hong to be the Lubu of Cao Cao's expedition, and since then, Lubu has been dedicated to military documents.

…… ……

At that time, Cao Jun sighed: The elite of the Kansai Army, accustomed to using spears, and without a selected forward, it is impossible to stop the Kansai soldiers. Therefore, Ma Chao and other Kansai troops should be elite troops accustomed to using spears, not the Western Liang Iron Cavalry in novels and commentaries and the apocryphal Roman legions of the writer Sasu.

There is a tribe of Ma Chao who may have migrated to Armenia.

According to the History of Armenia by the famous Armenian historian Movshes Khorlenazi, the ancestor of the Mamikonian family of Armenia was named Makang (also translated as Mamgon), who migrated from China in the third century AD. Su Zhongxiang, a modern Chinese historian, believes that Ma Kang is a very likely descendant of Ma Chao.

…… ……

Ma Chao's descendants are:

The eldest son, with an ominous name, the son of the Yang family, died in Jicheng.

The concubine, Ma Qiu, the son of the Dong family, was killed by Zhang Lu.

The third son, Ma Cheng, is a marquis of Tái.

The daughter, Ma, married Liu Li, the son of Liu Bei, the king of Anping.
