Chapter 429: Ruthless and Unjust? No, it's a sad story
- Ruthless and unrighteous Jinma Chao!
It is hard to imagine that Ma Chao, a sturdy martial artist, would die of illness at the age of forty-five.
It can be seen that the four big words of "ruthless and unrighteous" that have suppressed Ma Chao for half his life made him breathless and depressed.
How to fall ill after three years and collapse.
As for... On Ma Chao's body, these four vivid characters of "ruthlessness and unrighteousness" are deeply imprinted.
There are three reasons for this, the first is that his father and brother were in the enemy camp, and he actually rebelled and killed his family;
the second is to kill countless respected celebrities when they were in Guanzhong;
The third is to surrender to the enemy during battle, regardless of his wife and children... Killed his wife and children!
Seemingly... The evidence of this article has not been washed.
But... Guan Lin still told it to Wang Cang, Ruan Yu, Jiang Gan, and Zhang Xingcai, who was still crying, a heavy and sad story.
This is the story that belongs to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao was born in Fufeng Maoling.
When he was in his grandfather's area, he was still in the period of Emperor Huan, as a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan, a descendant of Jiangmen, Ma Chao's grandfather also served as the lieutenant of Langan County in Tianshui County, but he lost his official position for some reason, and his family was poor, so he lived in a place where Han and Qiang lived together, Ma Chao's grandfather married a Qiang girl and gave birth to Ma Teng, and Ma Teng married a Qiang girl and gave birth to Ma Chao.
When Ma Chao was born, Ma Teng was not a general, he was just a descendant of a defeated general, to be precise, a woodcutter.
Later, Ma Teng was valued by the state and county, and was appointed as a "military engagement" and was in charge of the subordinates.
It must be mentioned here that the reason why Ma Teng is on the rise is because of the support of senior state and county officials.
In the Han Dynasty, the premise of promoting a person was that the person had the ability and he could become his own person.
It was at this time that Ma Teng married the daughter of a high-ranking official, hired him as his wife, and then gave birth to two sisters-in-law, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie.
Since then, as a concubine, Ma Chao, whose mother is a Qiang person, has been neglected and excluded.
Mrs. Yan is always embarrassed by Ma Chao and the Qiang mother, but because of Mrs. Yan's identity, Ma Teng can only open one eye and close one eye to this.
It is precisely because of this that Ma Chao secretly swore in his heart that he would practice martial arts desperately and prove that he was the strongest martial artist in Yongliang, and only in this way could he take his mother to live a good life.
Because of his identity, Ma Chao and those descendants of Jiangmen... The descendants of dignitaries and dignitaries can't play together at all.
On the contrary, he can mix with the Qiang people and Di people who advocate martial arts.
Year after year, because of Mrs. Chang, Ma Teng is not good to his mother, and he doesn't care about him Ma Chao!
In fact, at this time, Ma Teng is no longer a father in Ma Chao's mind, he is just Ma Teng!
On the contrary, Ma Chao identified with the ancestor of their Fufeng Maoling Ma family, the loyal Han family General Fubo - Ma Yuan...
Ma Chao has always regarded Ma Yuan as his lifelong goal.
Finally, something happened.
Father Ma Teng and Han Sui united with the Qiang to rebel, and then recruited, rebelled, recruited, rebelled... His father, Ma Teng, began to jump back and forth between loyal and traitorous men.
The people he was loyal to have also changed from Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan at the beginning to Cao Cao...
Can these?
Which one is not a thief?
In the end, Ma Teng is going to Cao Cao to be an official, Wei Wei, this is a high-ranking official of Jiuqing... has endless glory and wealth, and also carries the "waste" of the two wives.
I just didn't take him Ma Chao to go, too... He is a concubine, and he is also worthy of going to Xu Ducheng? Go to the emperor's side as an official?
You know, even if it's a melee between the princes, but... There is still a chain of contempt in this world.
The Kanto despised the Kansai, and the Kyo officials despised the border officials.
Of course, Ma Chao didn't want to go, he was committed to being a loyal man like his ancestor Fubo General Ma Yuan, and he didn't bother to do things for a traitor like Cao Cao.
Then, it was Ma Chao who rebelled with Han Sui and said the famous sentence "Now, Ma Chao has abandoned his father and taken General Han as his father." General Han should also abandon his son and take Ma Chao as his son", and then united ten princes, a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses to crusade against Cao Cao!
Speaking of this, Guan Lin paused.
Wang Cang knocked on the door of his head and asked suspiciously.
"That's not right... Even if Ma Teng is not good to Ma Chao, even if Ma Chao is committed to being a loyal minister like General Fubo Ma Yuan, he can ignore his father's life and death and recognize Han Sui as his father... This can't be justified anyway! β
Truly.
From the perspective of extreme Confucianism in the feudal era, respect for the old and love for the young, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame are more important than life.
The Han Dynasty rules the world with filial piety.
But...
Guan Lin proposed a completely new point. "I only mentioned that Ma Chao and Han Sui rebelled against Cao Cao, but why did they rebel against Cao Cao? Mr. Wang should know this better than me, right? β
This...
Wang Cang paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then replied: "Cao Cao has always coveted the land of Guanzhong and Yongliang, and he sent Zhong Xuan and Zhang Ji to coordinate all departments in Chang'an, but it is an expedient method, he has long wanted Longyou's horses and strong, warlike soldiers!" Since the Northern Expedition to Jizhou, he has been deploying, and sent Xiahou Yuan to test again and again..."
"So," Guan Lin said, following Wang Cang's words, "this is the difference between strong thinking and weak thinking. β
Guan Lin continued to explain, "Since Ma Teng brought his two sons-in-law into Xudu, it is actually destined that Ma Chao has only two paths, one is to rebel and the other is to surrender, so... The question is, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan to fight Ma Chao? Is it filial piety to be caught? Is it useful to kneel down for Xiahou Yuan and say, 'I beg you, don't kill me, don't kill my father'? β
In other words, whether Ma Chao kneels or not, Cao Cao will not let go of the Ma family, nor will he let go of such a big force as the warlord in Guanzhong, which is part of his strategy... From Ma Chao's point of view, Cao Cao has bad intentions, and only by fighting can he have a glimmer of life, so at this time of life and death, he said to Ma Teng's enemy Han Sui, 'I don't want my father anymore, you are my father, and I will also be your son in the future', this is the only way to win over the other party at a critical time and ensure that the warlords in Guanzhong are not eliminated! This is great wisdom! β
Speaking of this, Guan Lin turned his back and his eyes further condensed.
His words became deeper and more meticulous.
"As for filial piety? Don't say that Ma Teng is not good to Ma Chao's mother and son, just say that you have to kneel down and beg in exchange for filial piety, so this filial piety? How many people can do it today? β
"What's more, when Ma Chao and Cao Cao were negotiating peace in Weishui, Ma Chao prepared a bag that was enough to hold six Hu rice, and the soldiers present knew about this, Mr. Wang? Do you know what he Ma Chao is doing with this bag? β
Wang Cang's curiosity was all up, he knew about this bag, but it just worked...
Immediately, Wang Cang hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?" β
Guan Lin didn't go around the bend, and replied directly: "Ma Chao is using this bag to measure Cao Cao's figure, he wants to put Cao Cao in this bag and take it away, and capture Cao Cao... If it weren't for Xu Chu by his side, he would have succeeded! β
Guan Lin's speech was extremely fast, not giving Wang Cang time to reverie at all, he continued: "With such a close distance, why does Ma Chao plan to kidnap Cao Cao? Didn't he know that Cao Cao had dozens of pounds of armor on his body? How easy is it to kidnap a person in front of the two armies? Ma Chao is a master of swords, can't he directly assassinate Cao Cao? And what is this for? β
This...
Wang Cang's eyes widened, and the details proposed by Guan Lin made him feel overwhelmed, and even faintly had a little more taste of careful thought.
Wang Cang's voice stumbled, "Yes... For what? β
"Ma Chao planned to kidnap Cao Cao from the beginning, and use Cao Cao's life in exchange for his father and brother in Xu Ducheng..."Guan Lin raised his voice, "Because this is the only way to complete filial piety without kneeling!" can do this step, Ma Chao is already worthy of Ma Teng and worthy of this filial piety! At least not to be criticized by the world! β
Bang...
With a sentence, Wang Cang felt that his whole person was not good...
His entire impression of Ma Chao was also subverted overnight.
Where is this a ruthless and unrighteous person, this is clearly a brave and resourceful good man!
Guan Lin's words continued.
"As for Ma Chao's killing of those famous people in Guanzhong, you know... That was after Cao Cao first abandoned the contract and killed Ma Teng, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie, Ma Chao responded by killing Cao Cao's officials. β
"As for the family who killed Yang Fu later, and Jiang Xu's old mother, this is the person who killed Ma Chao, the person who killed Ma Chao, the person who killed Cao Cao, the person who killed Cao Cao again, and the cycle repeatedly... Is this reasonable, trustworthy and righteous? β
This...
Wang Cang couldn't help pursing his lips, and Ruan Yu and Jiang Gan on the side were also dumbfounded.
Today, the three of them... It's like being taught a vivid lesson on "strong thinking" and "weak thinking".
Or to be more precise, in the face of enemy aggression, kneeling with full filial piety, or standing up to resist the vivid lesson...
It's just that...
Wang Cang suddenly thought of something, "Then there is another one, when Ma Chao surrendered to Uncle Liu Huang, his wife and children were still in Zhang Lu's hands, and this move caused his wife and children to be killed, isn't this abandoning his wife and children?" β
"This..."Guan Lin spread his hands, "There is nothing to say about this... It's very simple, you say Ma Chao abandoned his wife and children? But how often does my uncle leave his wife? Cao Cao captured Pi, my uncle's wife was lost, Gao Shun attacked Xiaopei, my uncle's wife lost again, Changbanpo... My uncle also lost two daughters, and his life and death are still uncertain... Take 10,000 steps back and say, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty? Why did he abandon his wife and children, Xiang Yu arrested Liu Bang's father, what did Liu Bang say? Said to let Xiang Yu get a piece of the pie! β
Speaking of this, Guan Lin paused for a moment, and continued in a serious tone: "In the troubled times, who can protect the family? The lives of parents, wives and children are all in the hands of the enemy, can they be saved, not because of Ma Chao himself, but because the enemy is benevolent? β
In fact...
In Guan Lin's view, throughout the entire history of Shu Han.
Ma Chao is definitely a rare talent, a loyal talent, and a person with affection and righteousness1
To know.
When Ma Chao was in Shuzhong, one year Dong Zhong gave Ma Chao a New Year's greeting, and Ma Chao vomited blood directly, saying that more than 100 members of my family were killed, and I had a hairy New Year!
This is Ma Chao's chagrin with himself and his unwillingness.
There is another thing, there is an official named Peng Yi who disobeys Liu Bei, and he asked Ma Chao to agree that he should cooperate with the outside and want to rebel.
Ma Chao told Liu Bei directly!
This may not be loyalty, but it must be Ma Chao's half-life hero, and now he is under the fence, and he is often afraid of danger in Liu Bei's camp...
The reason why he was afraid was because he felt that he had saved his father by not standing up, which led to the death of the whole clan, and it was he who messed up, broke his heart, and also hurt his reputation for the rest of his life.
On the contrary, Liu Bei is a person who values reputation very much and stands up for benevolence and righteousness...
Because of his Ma Chao's faction, because of the outside world's slander of him, Ma Chao is destined to be unable to be reused.
He was named the Five Tiger Generals because he brought a 'Di Cavalry' over.
It is because of his prestige among the Di and Qiang tribes.
Sitting on the cold bench and being alone in Shu, this is his normal state!
When he thought of this, Guan Lin felt pity.
Such a person who can fight, is brave, and hates Cao Wei to the core, but he was put in Bashu as a mascot by Liu Bei.
It's a terrible thing!
The key is, Ma Chao must not be Lu Bu!
However, Guan Lin knows, Liu Bei doesn't know, and no one in the world knows, which is very embarrassing.
For now, though... Because of papermaking and printing, public opinion may be reversed by a large number of printed books.
Ma Chao must have a benefit to the Zhongxing Han Dynasty, to let Shuzhong use Ma Chao, that is the first to bear the brunt, Ma Chao's reputation... It has to be reversed.
Thinking of this, Guan Lin solemnly asked Wang Cang. "What am I talking about? Maybe it's written in "Heroes"..."
"But... I guess it works! Wang Cang hasn't come back to his senses yet, he just feels that the sky is thundering, and his outlook on life has been overturned.
"Remember in the article ... Render more. Guan Lin commanded meaningfully, "Especially that sentence, Ma Chao is not ashamed of his father's loyalty to the traitor Cao Cao, and is bent on reshaping the glory of the ancestor Fubo General Ma Yuan, and the Zhongxing Han Dynasty... He recognized that my uncle was the reincarnation of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and my uncle wanted to be Liu Bang, and he Ma Chao would be the horse aid of the Zhongxing Han family, and saddle the horse for my uncle! β
This...
Although these sentences are a bit exaggerated, but..."Heroes",Well...
Wang Cang thinks it's okay.
"I've written it all... Just write Ma Chao according to what Yunqi Gongzi said. β
"When I'm done, I'll print it out directly..."Guan Lin waved his hand, and then..."Send some to Shuzhong first, at least... In our Shu, we can't let the loyal people shed blood, sweat and tears..."
Guan Lin cherishes talents... It's a pity for the talent of this Xiliang horse.
Later generations always said that there was a lack of talent in Shu... Lack of caterpillars?
What is the cause of scarcity, exactly? Half of them died in the "second company" of the pit father's careless loss of Jingzhou and the battle of Yiling, and the other half stopped cooking in the factional struggle!
Demoted? Why can't it be used!
Use it well, it's definitely not weaker than Daddy Guan Yu-

Chengdu, General Zuo's Mansion.
Just now, Liu Bei was about to fall asleep with his clothes closed, and suddenly... Zhao Yun hurriedly came to report, this report didn't matter, it almost scared Liu Bei to pee!
It was his wife, Sun Shangxiang, who came to him so late.
Belch...
This frightened Liu Bei and hurriedly got dressed, middle-aged and elderly people... You have to learn to protect yourself, not to mention... In Liu Bei's opinion, other women come to him at night to ask for money at most... But Sun Shangxiang is coming, so it's fatal!
"Let Madame go to the main hall, right? I'll come later..."
"No!"
With Liu Bei's orders, and Zhao Yun's should drink... Zhao Yun went to lead Sun Shangxiang to the direction of the main hall.
Liu Bei was a big gasp.
Sure enough, when he first entered Shu, Zhuge Liang's sentence "The north is afraid of Cao Gong's strength, the east is afraid of Sun Quan's pressure, and the near is afraid that Mrs. Sun will change under her elbows, and when she is in trouble, she will advance and retreat wolf..."
Not much...
Liu Bei put on his clothes, and under the escort of Zhao Yun, he walked into the main hall, and Sun Shangxiang wore a red dress with his back to him.
It wasn't until I heard footsteps that I turned around... But there is no former dominance.
Opposite... Today's Sun Shangxiang still has some rare "dignified" and "tranquil".
"Madame is here so late, I think it's something important, right?" Liu Bei slowly opened his mouth, took the tea cup on the table, put it to his mouth, and took a sip to suppress the shock.
"I'm going to my husband's room? Does it have to be something important? β
Sun Shangxiang's words directly made Liu Bei almost spit out the tea in his throat.
Liu Bei is no longer the man who went to Soochow and was full of expectations to marry Sun Shangxiang...
Although he especially remembered the candles in the cave room with Sun Shangxiang, under the candlelight, the little face that was slightly worried in the delicate... At that time, he Liu Bei was still naΓ―ve to think that this Sun girl was so good-looking.
This matter, in Liu Bei's current opinion, is simply off the beaten track.
Because... No matter how good-looking it is, it can't stand the more than 100 sword-wielding female guards at the door, and it can't stand the swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks in the boudoir.
Hitherto...
Liu Bei was especially palpitating.
"Madame, don't make fun of it, or get down to business, right?"
Seeing Liu Bei's look of fear, Sun Shangxiang smiled "poof", "I came here to get my husband's consent... Since I left Jiangdong, my mother has always written to me, and I have been missing my mother for a long time, and I think that my mother is old, so I want to ask my husband for permission to allow me to go back to Jiangdong... With full filial piety! β
Not...
Sun Shangxiang's words made Liu Bei stunned.
Although Liu Bei's expression did not change much, in his heart, there was ecstasy and throbbing, as if his internal organs and every cell in his body were telling a sentence.
- "You want to go back to Koto?"
- "And this kind of good thing?"
Oh, yes...
Sun Shangxiang wants to return to Jiangdong, which is for Liu Bei, and he has to celebrate.
However, after all, Liu Bei is a man who has won Cao Cao's "Heart Attack Technique" in his "Heart Hiding Technique", and he is constantly admonishing himself in his heart.
- "Restraint, restraint..."
On his cheeks, a little worried look suddenly appeared, "Madame is leaving, I'm reluctant... But..."
But, actually... No but!
Liu Bei's words in his heart are one sentence:
- "Madame, let me go!"
- "Please!"
- "It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God!"
