Besides cold-blooded cool thin's personality, what other reasons did Ma Chao cause Marten's death?

At that time, the seven-foot solitary grave was covered with grass.

At dusk, the crow's nest competes for ancient trees, and the ant's nest stands a monument.

A poor skeleton and a family disaster will be known for the rest of my life.

He died young at the age of 47, lifeless and unhappy.

Everyone knows that Ma Chao is a rather contradictory historical figure. Some people say he is brave in fighting, others say he is disloyal and unfilial. Regarding the quality of Ma Chao, let's not talk about it for the time being. Bian Xiao mainly talks about the relationship between Ma Chao and Marten.

The life of Marten and his son.

First of all, let me talk about Marten and Ma Chao, the father and son.

marten

After Marten, he was a famous soldier. His ancestors were Ma Yuan, a famous soldier in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and later he was Zhao She in the Warring States. Although there are such two arrogant ancestors, they have not actually benefited Marten in terms of economic status.

Marten's father, Ma Ping, was a county commandant in Gan Lan County, Tianshui County, Liangzhou (in charge of county public security). He is certainly incomparable with the chief and the secretariat, but he is also bureaucratic in size. But later, because of some things, I lost my official position and stayed in Longxi to live with the Qiang people. Ma Ping county commandant didn't get any benefits, and his family was poor. He married a woman from A Qiang and gave birth to Marten.

Marten was born poor as a teenager and had no industry at home. Then what is his source of livelihood? Is to cut wood and sell it in the city. It can be said that life is very unsatisfactory. If you live in this world, there is no big chance. It is estimated that Marten's life will be like this. However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, opportunities were everywhere.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Wang Guo who rebelled with the Bianqiang people. Liangzhou secretariat Geng Bi recruited soldiers and Ma Teng was one of them. With his military achievements, he later rebelled against the Eastern Han Dynasty and became one of Liangzhou warlords.

Although Ma Teng occupied a place in the troubled times at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was not as lean as Cao Cao or Liu Bei in essence, nor was he so keen on competing for the world. Cao Cao wanted to attack Jingzhou, fearing that Marten and other Guanzhong warlords would find him troublesome, so he asked Zhang to persuade Marten to release the military power and become an official in the DPRK. Marten himself didn't want to eat sand when he was old, so he agreed. Although Marten and his family became officials and no longer had to live a hard life, they were also controlled by Cao Cao and lost their independence. Later, Ma Chao rebelled and Marten was completely annihilated.

Ma Chao

After Marten entered the DPRK, Ma Chao did not follow, but took over Marten's army. Cao Cao will attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and pass through Guanzhong area. This move is suspected of "fake killing the enemy" and has also aroused Ma Chao's vigilance. In addition, according to Shu Wei, Cao Cao's original intention was to threaten the warlords in Guanzhong to hand over the hostages so that they could be controlled by themselves. Therefore, Ma Chao joined forces with Han Sui, candidate, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Ma and others. A * * * by ten warlords, large and small, soldiers to revolt.

Cao Cao personally conquered Guanzhong and defeated Ma Chao and others. Ma Chao once made a comeback, but after defeat, he fled to Hanzhong to take refuge in Zhang Lu. Since then, Ma Chao has changed from a warlord leader to a subordinate of other warlords.

Liu Bei and Liu Zhang turned against each other and attacked Chengdu from Jiameng Pass. Ma Chao had a bad time in Zhang Lu, so he hooked up with Liu Bei. At that time, Liu Bei had won the battle and attacked Chengdu. The arrival of Ma Chao became the last straw that overwhelmed Liu Zhang. Liu Bei secretly gave Ma Chao an army to show his face outside Chengdu. Liu Zhang saw that there was still a fresh force and soon surrendered.

Liu Bei gave Ma Chao a high honor, first as a general left, then as a general in title of generals in ancient times, but there was nothing particularly brilliant. Moreover, he lived in fear of Shu Han, and the blood feud of the Ma family was not reported. Finally, he died in the second year of Zhangwu (that is, AD 222) at the age of 47.

Speculation on the origin of Ma Chao

According to historical records, Ma Chao is Marten's eldest son, and there is a very reliable inference that Ma Chao is actually Marten's eldest son, and it is very likely that Ma Chao is also of Bianqiang descent. There are four places that can be used as the basis for this inference.

Ma Chao's ideographic characters

The word Ma Chao originated in the Meng Dynasty. Ancient people were very particular about the appearance of words, and sometimes they started the words in alphabetical order. For example, Sun Ce's word Bofu, Sun Quan's word Zhong Mou, Sun Yi's word Uncle Bi and Sun Kuang's word Jizuo all come from the same uncle season.

Bo and his father, so the eldest son uses this word, but the eldest son uses the word "Meng" instead of "Bo". Ma Chao's Meng Qi may be the rule of using this word. Of course, this is not a certain law, but the possibility of existence.

Marten's family

Ma Chao died in 222 AD at the age of 47. If pushed up, Ma Chao should have been born in 175. At that time, Marten was still chopping wood for a living. Marten's father, Ma Ping, married the Qiang people when he was poor. Ma Teng may have married the Qiang people when he was poor, and then gave birth to Ma Chao. Of course, this is a possibility or not, but combined with other things, this possibility becomes very possible.

Ma Chao's Prestige History among Bianqiang People

It has been mentioned more than once that Ma Chao has great prestige among the border Qiang people. After Cao Cao defeated the ten generals in Guanzhong and returned to Li, yangfu advised Cao Cao that Ma Chao would not only fight bravely, but also win over the people of the border Qiang to guard against his death. Later, Ma Chao really made a comeback. In the process of Liu Bei and Cao Cao competing for Hanzhong, Ma Chao also instigated many Di tribes to resist Cao Cao. When Liu Bei promoted Ma Chao to the rank of official, he commented on Ma Chao: "Bian and Qiang are obedient and loyal to each other." Ma Chao's high prestige among the Bianqiang people probably stems from his Bianqiang ancestry.

The combination of Ma Chao and Han Sui

In the struggle with Cao Cao, Ma Chao and others elected Han Sui as the leader. Ma Chao and Han Sui both know that when they come out from here, their families in North Korea will be lost. Ma Chao also told Han Sui that he abandoned his father, and General (Han Sui) abandoned his son, so it is better to be father and son.

But there is a feud between Ma Chao and Han Sui. Marten and Han Sui had the experience of attacking each other, and Marten's wife was killed by Han Sui. Ma Chao once almost let Han Sui kill larocca. If Ma Chao is the eldest son, then Ma Teng's wife who was killed is Ma Chao's biological mother. No matter how cold-blooded Ma Chao is, it is impossible to recognize his mother's enemy as a father. According to this matter, we can also guess that Ma Chao is Marten's eldest son.

The Relationship between Marten and Ma Chao

The Marten family is under the control of Cao Cao. Why can Ma Chao rebel without hesitation and put Marten in a hopeless situation? In addition to Ma Chao's cold-blooded, there is another possibility that Ma Teng and Ma Chao have no deep feelings.

It has also been analyzed above that Ma Chao is probably the illegitimate child of Marten at the end of twilight, and his status is not high. Ma Chao often went into battle himself, and once Yan Xing hit him in the neck with a stick (the spear was broken). Besides Ma Chao's own bravery, we can also see that Ma Teng doesn't really cherish this son.

May I ask, can you go to Liu Chan to kill the enemy? After Liu Chan was born, his adopted son Liu Feng took part in several wars. During Cao Cao's war, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi led troops to go out, but there was no record of hand-to-hand combat with the enemy (Cao Ang died of Zhang Xiu rebellion in an emergency). Cao Zhang and Ma Chao are a type of experts, which is his own will, not to mention that Cao Cao once tried to suppress him and let him learn books; When Sun Jian crusaded against Dong Zhuo, he didn't take Sun Ce with him. Sun Jian, Liu Bei and Cao Cao Can all mounted their own horses to kill the enemy, and they were not afraid of swords, but they still had some actions to protect their children, especially their heirs. Ma Teng didn't treat Ma Chao as a soldier.

Of course, I'm not saying that Marten deliberately abused Ma Chao. Just like the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Feng, Liu Bei let Liu Feng go to war to suppress the "Three Eastern Counties", showing his esteem (Liu Feng lived up to expectations and fought for power with Meng Da), but he definitely preferred Liu Chan in his heart. The same is true of Marten, who may prefer Matthew and Ma Tie in his heart. They also went to North Korea to be an official, leaving Ma Chao in charge of the soldiers as Marten's foreign capital.

But then again, even if Marten really has some likes and dislikes, Ma Chao is really cold-blooded regardless of Marten's rebellion. Zhang Lu once wanted to take Ma Chao as his confidant and marry his daughter, but he was also reminded that Ma Teng was killed because of his rebellion. Ma Chao has a younger brother, Ma Zi, who celebrates with Ma on his birthday. Ma Chao beat his chest until he vomited blood and said, "Once all the doors are closed, once they live and die together, will they celebrate evil?" Later, Ma Chao defected to Liu Bei, and his son was killed by Zhang Lu. Ma Chao lives a lonely life, but this is the result of his own making.
