Ma Chao was the son of Ma Teng, the general of the Western Expedition in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Ma Teng was born after Ma Yuan, general of Fu Bo in Han Dynasty. His father is a descendant of Emperor Huan, and his handwriting is good. He used to be the county magistrate of Ganlantianshui, but for some reason, he lost his official position. He lived in Longxi and lived with Qiang people, so he married a woman from A Qiang and gave birth to Marten. Marten was very poor when he was young, and made a living by cutting and selling firewood. He is eight feet long, with different looks and noble temperament, and is respected by many people. Ma Chao has lived in Qiang area since childhood and should be from A Qiang.

At the end of Ling Dynasty, Marten, Han Sui and Bian Zhang fought in Xizhou. After entering the customs, Dong Zhuo persuaded Marten and Han Sui to plan Shandong together. So, in the third year of Chuping, Han Sui and Marten came to Chang 'an. When Dong Zhuo died, Li advised him to appoint Han Sui as General Zhenxi, send him back to Jincheng, appoint Marten as General Zhenxi, and send him to Jia County. Marten and Han Sui wanted to attack Chang 'an, and Li hurried back to Liangzhou.

Li Si was guarding the Guanzhong area, and Zhong You wrote to Marten and Han Sui and said many things. Marten sent his eldest sons Ma Chao and Zhong You to Pingyang to crusade against Guoyuan and Gao Qian. Ma Chao personally killed Guoyuan. Ma Chao was shot dead by an arrow in the battle. He wrapped a cloth bag on his injured foot to continue fighting and gathered three armed forces. After the war, he was appointed as the secretariat of Xuzhou, and later served as the suggestion.

Marten has a close relationship with Han Sui. But with the passage of time, more and more evil blood turned against each other, attacking each other and killing each other for many years. After persuasion, they reconciled.

In the 13th year of Jian 'an, the court transferred Marten back to the capital, appointed him as Qiu Wei, appointed Ma Chao as a partial general, sealed the capital, and let him lead the troops. After Ma Chao unified the army, he joined forces with Han Sui. Ma Chao moved to Kansai and won the support of the local Qiang people.

In March of the 16th year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao sent general Zhong You to crusade against Zhang Lu, and sent the Western Expedition to join forces with Zhong You. This action threatened the survival and development of Ma Chao's department.

Seeing that Cao Cao was located in Guanzhong, the generals of Guanzhong set out to see Zhang Lu, suspecting that his purpose was not for Zhang Lu, but to take advantage of people's crisis. According to Tongguan, as a result, ten departments opposed it and they raised hundreds of thousands of people. Ten films include Ma Chao, Han Sui, Hou Xuan, Yin Cheng, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi and Ma Wan. Cao Cao, the general of Cao Cao, led the troops to resist and said to his generals, "Kansai soldiers are tenacious, don't attack the city wall." In July of the same year, Cao Cao personally led the troops to Ma Chao. In August, soldiers arrived in Tongguan.

Cao Cao is negotiating with Han Sui and Ma Chao. Ma Chao came with the trend. Chu Xu looked at it and did not dare to move. Cao Cao secretly sent 4000 troops to cross the river from Pubanjin, taking Hexi as the camp, cutting off Ma Chao's retreat. Then Cao Cao arranged ships and rafts to lead an army through Hebei. Ma Chao said to Han Sui, "You can station troops on the north shore to stop Cao Bing from crossing the river. After 20 days, there is no food and grass in Hedong, and Cao Cao and his men will inevitably flee. " Han Sui said, "We can let them cross the river. Said, "soldiers can attack half of the ferry. "When they were halfway through, we bumped into each other from the south bank and broke up in discord!" D's plan has not been implemented yet. When Cao Cao learned this, he sighed, "If the horse doesn't die, I will end up in a miserable situation."

In August, Cao Cao sent his troops north, leading more than 100 people to stay in the south bank. At this time, Ma Chao led more than 10,000 cavalry to chase, and the arrows rained down. /kloc-after more than 0/00000 people, you are in danger. Cao Cao's general Ding Fei released a large number of cattle and horses, and Ma Chaojun hurried to get them. Cao Cao crossed the Yellow River under the cover of Jiang Xu. Then, a gate was built along the river bank and the tunnel extended to the south. Ma Chao stepped back to guard the mouth. Cao Cao pursued his troops until he settled down. When Cao Cao heard that Su Bo was rebelling in Youzhou and Jizhou, he led his troops to retreat.

In the seventeenth year of Jian 'an, Han Ting wrote to kill the Marten family of three. Cao Cao withdrew, and yangfu advised him. Yang Fu said, "The courage of Han Xin and Bu won the hearts of the people. If the army is still there and there is no strict establishment, the counties and counties in Gansu will not be owned by the state. "

Soon after Cao came back, Ma Chao made a comeback and led Qiang people and conference semifinals to attack Longxi. All the counties responded. Only Liangzhou secretariat Wei Kang stayed in Ji Cheng.

In the eighteenth year of Jian 'an, Ma Chao stationed troops in Longxi, and with the help of General Zhang Ang's reinforcements, he assembled more than 10,000 people to attack. Ma Chao surrounded Ji Cheng and launched an onslaught from January to August, but the imperial reinforcements did not arrive. Weikang sent people out of the city to meet them, and Xia was stationed in Chang 'an. Yan Wen jumped out of the water at night. The next day, Ma Chao's soldiers found the water mark and occupied Yan Wen.

Ma Chao took Yan Wen to the outside of Hebei and told him to make a propaganda to the city, saying that there were no reinforcements on the eastern front, and he wanted to crush the morale of the defenders in the city. However, Yan Wen's reinforcements will arrive in three days. Please do your best to defend the city. Ma Chao was furious, but Ji Chengjiu couldn't attack, so he suggested that Yan Wen change his mind. Yan Wen said, "The courtier is the king, but he is dead. He has no other ideas. But you made me say something unfair and become an unfair person. You'd better die! " Ma Chao must kill Yan Wen.

Ji Cheng's defenders were hopeless, and Wei Kang's secretariat and satrap surrendered to Ma Chaoxian regardless of yangfu's dissuasion. After Ma Chao entered the city, he killed Wei Kang, the satrap, and called himself the general of Xiliang Pastoral, in charge of Liangzhou's military and political power. Cao Cao led Xia to save. Before he arrived, Ji Cheng was caught by Ma Chao. Ma Chaojun was more than 200 miles away from Hebei City and went out of the city to meet them. Xia was defeated. At this time, another frontier leader rose from Xingguo and responded to Ma Chao. Afraid that Xia Xia was caught between Scylla and Charybdis, he led the troops to retreat.

Yangfu, a former official, was dissatisfied with Ma Chao's cruelty. After the burial, he fled to Jiang Xu, the cousin of Licheng garrison, and advised him to use his own army to eradicate Ma Chao and avenge Wei Kang and others. Jiang Xu contacted Zhao Ang, Yin Feng, Li Jun and others. And secretly discuss the strategy against Ma Chao. First, they sent people to Ji Cheng to make secret friends with Liang Kuan and Zhao Qu, making them city dwellers. In September, yangfu and Jiang Xu led the troops to attack Lucheng, while Zhao Ang and Yin Feng led the troops to occupy Qishan. Ma Chao was furious, and Zhao Qu took the opportunity to deliberately encourage Ma Chao to leave the city.

In the spring of Jian 'an 19th year, Ma Chao made a comeback with the support of Zhang Lu, captured Liangzhou and surrounded Qishan. Yang Fu and Jiang Xu ask General Xia stationed in Chang 'an for help. Some people say that before sending reinforcements, it must be reported to Cao Cao for approval. Xia thought that Cao Cao was far away in Yecheng and took Wan Li Road. If he asks for instructions, it will inevitably delay the fighter plane. So he decided to send troops to rescue Qishan immediately, and ordered general Zhang He to lead five thousand cavalry as a pioneer. The reinforcements defeated Ma Chaojun and joined forces with Jiang Xu. Ma Chao was defeated, retreated to Hanzhong and attached himself to Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu appointed him a priest and wanted to marry his daughter. Someone dissuaded him from saying that Ma Chao's wife had a tragic accident, which was caused by Ma Chao. He can't love his relatives, how can he love others? Zhang Lu gave up.

When Ma Chao was not at war with Cao Cao, Yu Ji's younger brother asked Miao to stay in Sanfu. Ma Chao was defeated and kicked out. The seeds were first planted in Hanzhong. Happy birthday to Zheng Dan Ma Chao. Ma Chao beat his chest and vomited blood, saying, "One hundred people died that day. Now there are only two of me left, what can I congratulate! "

Ma Chao was jealous of Zhang Ang and depressed when he saw that Zhang Lu could not achieve great things. Liu Beizheng besieged Chengdu for a long time. After learning about Ma Chao, he sent Li Hui from Jiangning to persuade Du You. Ma Chao fled from Wudu to Bianliang and wrote a secret letter to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was overjoyed and said, "I have no profit." . So he sent someone to see Ma Chao, told him to stop first, and secretly reinforced him to increase his strength. Then, he ordered his army to match Chengdu at the city gate and station in the north of the city. In less than ten days, he was frightened by Ma Chao's fame. He only opened the north gate and surrendered to Liu Bei. He said that from now on, General Liu Wei was ordered to supervise Linzhou so that he could go to Beijing with Cao Cao.

Liu Bei acclaimed the king of Hanzhong, named Ma Chao as the general and named Jeff as the general. In the first year of Zhangwu, Ma Chao was promoted to a title of generals in ancient times, led Liangzhou animal husbandry and entered Gu Feng Township. Yue:

"Desheng supreme flatter me. Cao Cao and his son, the world bears their sins, and I use suffering. Domestic resentment turned right to negative, and Iraq and Qiang each took the lead. Living in the north with the monarch and showing off the great power is to appoint the monarch, fight with the tiger, learn from Wan Li and win the hearts of the people. Those who are clear are open, those who are far away are expensive, those who are cautious are rewarded and punished, and the world is public. "

In the second year of Zhang Wu, Ma Chao died at the age of 47. Ma Chao wrote to Liu Bei before he died: "More than 200 ministers were punished by Mendel. Just from Dadi, as a descendant of a small sect, he won the trust of your majesty, but he didn't get a reply. Liu Bei chased Ma Chao and his son Ma. Later, Ma Dai joined Chen Canghou as General Pingbei.

Comments: Ma Chao has been a soldier for a long time, but he is brave and courageous, so that his family is ruined and his family is ruined. His experience is the epitome of the warlord melee society at that time.
