Liu Xiu, a lifelong courtier of this character, Ma Wu lived in Jiangxia when he was young, because he avoided hatred. In the last years of follwed, the people of Jingling and Xiyang rose up in the county boundary, and Ma Wu also participated. Later, he joined greenwood hero and the Han army.

In addition, Xie Gong, a senior official, was sent to lead six generals to attack Wang Lang. Ma Wu worshipped him as a general and attacked Wang Lang with Xie Gong, a senior official.

However, Liu Xiu first conquered Handan, and invited Xie Gong and Ma Wu to hold a grand reception, trying to kill Xie Gong, but without success. After the reception, Liu Xiudu and Ma Wu boarded the platform and calmly said to Ma Wu, "I got Yuyang and Shanggu assault cavalry, and I want you to be the commander in chief. How about it? " Ma Wu said, "I am stupid and timid, and I have no plan." Liu Xiu said: "This general has been a general for a long time. He has received deep military training. Like my history? " Ma Wu turned to Liu Xiu from now on.

After Xie Gong was killed by haing s ngor, Ma Wu learned that he didn't vote for haing s ngor, but rode a fast horse to beat the dog and went to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu was very happy to see him and led him to the left and right. Every time he gave a banquet, Ma Wu often got up and thought, and Liu Xiu was very happy. Then, Ma Wu led his troops to see Cao Zhen, and Ma Wu kowtowed and refused, saying that he just wanted to stay in Liu Xiu, who even praised his intention, because Ma Wu followed him to attack the thieves.

Among the 28 generals in Yuntai, Ma Wu was the last one to submit to Guangwu.

Liu Xiu attacked Youlai, Wuyan and other places. In four directions, but failed in deep water. Ma Wu left the rear army alone and attacked the enemy lines. Thieves were afraid to chase him. When he entered Ance and Yang Guang Xiao, Ma Wu was often a striker, and he pushed forward. People led the army with him, and he broke the thief and chased him to Pinggu County and Xunmi County to return Li. Liu Xiu acceded to the throne, supplemented by Ma Wu, riding a surname and closing mountains for Hou.

From Ma Wu to Luoyang, general print was presented, and 500 households in the food city were cut and named Li, because they stayed in the capital to serve the court.

Liu Xiu later talked with the hero princes at the banquet and said calmly, "How big an official do you think you can be if you don't meet such an opportunity?" Gaomi Hou Dengyu was the first to answer "; I studied it when I was young, and I can be a doctor of county literature. "The emperor said," Why are you so modest? " You are Deng's son, and you are very ambitious. Why can't you be a county hero? "The rest of the people answer one by one. When they arrived in Mawu, Ma Wu said, "I am brave and can be a military captain to supervise thieves." The emperor smiled and said "; Don't be a thief, give it to the director himself, that's all. "Ma Wu alcoholic, broad-minded, dare to tell the truth. At this moment, he got drunk and folded all the heroes and princes in front of the emperor, commenting and avoiding talking. The emperor made him speak on purpose, thinking that he was laughing. Although the emperor restricted the control of the heroes, he was always tolerant and forgave the heroes for their deviant behavior. Treasures from afar must be given first, but few in the emperor's kitchen. Those who make meritorious deeds often reward fiefs, not official positions, so they can all protect their wealth, and there is no such thing as killing.

In the 25th year of Jianwu (49 years), Ma Wu led an army to attack Wuling barbarians and returned to Beijing with his seal. At the beginning of Tang Xianzong, Xiqiang invaded Longyou, destroyed the defenders and attacked and killed the generals. The imperial court was deeply worried about this, so it worshipped Ma Wu as the general to capture Lu, took the corps commander as the lieutenant, and led Wu Huan, Li Yangying and Sanfu to recruit soldiers, soldiers in Liangzhou counties and prisoners who lifted the shackles together with the commanders Dou Gu and Chen.
