Mi Han

Is Ma Chao a Hanchen?

In terms of identity alone, Ma Chao, who is a Hussar General of the great Han Dynasty, who was appointed as the shepherd of Liangzhou, and who was granted the title of Marquis of the Township, is of course an out-and-out Han minister.

But many things are not as simple as they appear.

Although Ma Chao holds a high position in Dahan, he has never had real power in his hands.

Apart from having no real power, the officials of the entire Han Dynasty treated Ma Chao as if they had seen a snake or a scorpion, avoiding him in fear.

Under such circumstances, Ma Chao had to stay alone in Mianyang for the past few years.

This is not only Liu Bei's defense against Ma Chao, but also his protection for Ma Chao.

If Ma Chao is not allowed to fade out of people's sight as much as possible, Mi Yang can guarantee that the memorial to impeach Ma Chao in the Han Dynasty will fill Liu Bei's desk.

It can be said that no one in the whole big man regards Ma Chao as their companion.

But in this actual situation of being isolated, can Ma Chao be considered Hanchen?
In name only.

The question Ma Chao asked seemed ridiculous, but he was actually asking Mi Yang cryptically, after such a bloody battle, could he really be accepted by the big guys?

It was precisely because he understood Ma Chao's deep meaning that Mi Yang fell silent.

The reason why Ma Chao was deliberately isolated by the big man was that his previous status as a prince was not the most important reason.

Because at best, it would be difficult for him to have real power in his hands, but it would not make him detested by everyone.

The reason why Ma Chao is disgusted by everyone is because he killed his father and his clan.

In the real history, Ma Teng entered the court as an official under Zhang Ji's persuasion, and was appointed as a guard by Cao Cao.

Of course, Ma Teng was not unsuspecting of Cao Cao, so although he left Xiliang with his two sons Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, he still left Ma Chao to lead his troops in Liangzhou.

This also proves that Ma Teng really wanted to serve Cao Cao back then, otherwise he would not have moved all the Ma clan members including himself to Yecheng.

It's just that Ma Teng wants to leave a guarantee for himself.

The soldiers and horses in Ma Chao's hands are the most important guarantee for protecting the Ma clan.

And Ma Teng dared to do this, didn't he think that Ma Chao would not harm him?

But what happened later shattered this agreement.

That is, Ma Chao suspected that Cao Cao intended to use false ways to destroy Guo, so he directly led the army to rebel, completely ignoring the safety of his father and brother in Yecheng.

"Now, Ma Chao abandons his father and takes General Han as his father. General Han should also abandon his son and takes Ma Chao as his son."

Ma Chao's words shocked the world, and directly proved what he thought back then.

You must know that Ma Teng was not dead at that time, so Ma Chao was actually only responsible for commanding the army for Ma Teng, and he was not considered the master of the Ma family army in Liangzhou.

But Ma Chao not only disregarded the agreement and rebelled blatantly, he even used Ma Teng's own soldiers and horses to send Ma Teng himself to a dead end.

When the news of Ma Chao's rebellion reached Yecheng, even Cao Cao couldn't believe it.

Ma Chao rebelled in the 16th year of Jian'an, and Cao Cao did not send troops to capture Ma Teng and the Ma clan until the 17th year of Jian'an.

This proves that within this year, Cao Cao still had hope that Ma Chao might change his mind.

But it didn't.

So Ma Teng and hundreds of members of the Shangxiama clan were beheaded by Cao Cao in Yecheng.

Breaking an agreement is unbelief, disobeying the commander's order and rebelling is disloyalty, killing one's father and family is unfilial and unkind.

Ma Chao has taken up the four most unacceptable evil deeds in the world, which makes the world not scold Ma Chao.

Based on what Ma Chao did in the past, Liu Bei finally took Ma Chao in. Otherwise, would Ma Chao survive to this day?
But everyone in the big man hates Ma Chao, so how can he be wrong?
But Ma Chao, who has made great contributions, wants to truly become a Hanchen, so it is naturally not wrong.

In the case of both being correct, the most difficult thing now is Mi Yang.

If he answered Ma Chao no, then what he did would be understood by the world, and Ma Chao was only disappointed.

But if Ma Chao answered yes, then he would have to work hard for his answer in the future, and what he might get was Ma Chao's thanks, but it would attract criticism from all over the world.

Which is more important, it seems to be an easy choice.

After Ma Chao asked that sentence, he kept staring at Mi Yang.

At the beginning, he might still have hope, but it can be seen that Mi Yang pondered for a long time, and the hope in Ma Chao's eyes gradually disappeared.

Why did he agree to Mi Yang to stick to Yinping?

He didn't want to build meritorious deeds, because he knew that no matter how much meritorious service he made, he would never be able to hold too much power in his life.

His purpose was to help Mi Yang win this battle, so that Mi Yang could use his status to speak out for him to the world after the war—he, Ma Chao, knew his mistake!Ma Chao is making corrections!
But now it seems that Mi Yang doesn't want to take this risk.

It's just that although Ma Chao felt disappointed and chilled, he also understood Mi Yang.

How many people in the world are willing to take this risk for him?
But just when Ma Chao was feeling desperate, a warm word reached his ears:

"I heard that General Hussars is a descendant of General Fubo.

Back then, General Fubo fought to the death for the unification of the early Han Dynasty, and made great achievements in battle. He can be said to be one of the few loyal ministers of the early Han Dynasty that Yang admired the most.

Today's hussar general looks like his ancestors! "

Mi Yang's words were like a spring breeze blowing over solid ice, making Ma Chao's already cold heart gradually warm up.

Ma Chao looked at Mi Yang with unbelievable eyes, and there was a deep emotion in his eyes.

The ancestor Ma Yuan has always been the pride of every Ma family member in Liangzhou.

Although Ma Yuan surrendered to Han Shizu halfway, but looking at his life as a whole, he can indeed be called a hero of the Han Dynasty.

Now Mi Yang compares Ma Chao to his ancestor Ma Yuan. One is to highly praise Ma Chao's achievements, and the other is to answer Ma Chao's questions head-on.

"You have always been."

Mi Yang's answer made Ma Chao excitedly want to stand up and pay homage.

But it was stopped by Mi Yang.

After preventing Ma Chao from getting up, Mi Yang might as well make his words clearer:
"Qing needs to recuperate well, His Majesty will arrive in Liangzhou in a few days.

At that time, I will meet with His Majesty to ensure that the meritorious service you made in this battle will be treated fairly.

In the future, in the history of Zhaozhao, Qing and I will share the infinite glory of this battle. "

Although Mi Yang said this sentence in a gentle tone, it is not difficult to hear the firmness in it.

A promise from a scholar in the world is as important as nine tripods.

As for whether Mi Yang can do this, there is no doubt about it.

Because the so-called Zhaozhao Qingshi will be nothing more than a memoir of Mi Yang in the future.

After listening to Mi Yang's promise, Ma Chao's heart felt like a clear sky, and the haze accumulated for several years was instantly swept away.

The one who made this promise to him was the general who had just rescued the big man, and Ma Chao believed that Mi Yang could do this.

After making the promise, Mi Yang wanted Ma Chao to have a good rest, so he got up and walked out of the room.

But before taking a few steps, Mi Yang was stopped by a question from Ma Chao.

"why?"

This is the biggest doubt in Ma Chao's mind right now.

Why are you willing to help him while bearing the consequences of being criticized by the world?

Why add trouble to yourself when you should be enjoying the glory alone?
Ma Chao didn't believe that Mi Yang didn't know what kind of karma he would bear after making this promise.

Facing Ma Chao's question, Mi Yang turned to look at him, and slowly replied:

"Great work is good work, and faults are faults.

The mistakes you have made in the past, I will not cover up for you, nor can I cover up for you.

But if you obey my order and make great contributions for me and the big man, then I will definitely not let you be treated unfairly.

What you have done in the past will bear the corresponding evil consequences.

But you should get a fair return for your efforts today.

Is this reason enough? "

Ma Chao couldn't help being stunned by Mi Yang's last rhetorical question, his attitude of taking it for granted.

But after a while, a burst of hearty laughter came from Ma Chao's mouth.

enough!enough!
Amid Ma Chao's loud laughter, Mi Yang walked out of Ma Chao's room.

Ma Dai has been on duty outside the room, of course he knows what Ma Chao will ask of him after seeing Mi Yang.

Therefore, he never left, because he wanted to know the consequences as soon as possible.

From Ma Chao's bursts of laughter, Ma Dai already knew the answer.

So he looked at Mi Yang who walked out of the room, his eyes were full of gratitude and respect.

This is the first person in the world who does not view him and Ma Chao with prejudice.

Seeing that Ma Dai was still there, Mi Yang was not surprised. He took advantage of the situation and recruited Ma Dai to him.

Before and after Ma Dai came, Mi Yang asked him: "You just said that General Hussar still has an enemy alive?"

Mi Yang's question made Ma Dai startled.

On the way to bring Mi Yang to see Ma Chao just now, Ma Dai mentioned this matter to Mi Yang cryptically, and he mentioned this matter only for Ma Chao.

Given Ma Chao's current physical condition, he would definitely not be able to take revenge himself.

Then Ma Dai wanted to use Mi Yang's power.

But when he mentioned it just now, Mi Yang acted as if he didn't hear it, which made him dare not talk about it in depth.

Unexpectedly, Mi Yang suddenly asked about this matter at this moment.

Ma Dai respectfully reported the origin of Ma Chao's enemy to Mi Yang.

That man was exactly the enemy Qiang Duan who betrayed Ma Chao and caused the defeat of the Han army during the Battle of Xiabian.

The strong betrayal back then not only caused heavy losses to the Han army, but also made Ma Chao almost charged with collaborating with the enemy. It's no wonder that Ma Chao didn't hate him to death.

After hearing about Qiang Duan's background, Mi Yang nodded slightly, and told Ma Dai:
"Let the order go out, saying that I am in Yinping now, and let the leaders of Qiangdi in the two counties of Yinping and Wudu come to see me."

As of today, the entire Liangzhou battle has entered the final stage.

At this stage, it is time to take back the two counties of Yinping and Wudu for the great man.

And if you want to recover the two counties of Yinping and Wudu, you must conquer the leaders of the Qiang and Di people in the two counties.

But, with Mi Yang's current prestige, there is no need to send troops to crusade if he wants to do this.

Foreign races have always been fearful of power and not virtuous.

And in terms of power, looking at the whole world, who can compare to Mi Yang at present?
It's the right time to call with one word.

As Mi Yang expected, when Ma Dai spread the news that Mi Yang was in Yinping, not to mention the reaction in Yinping County, even Wudu County, which is a little farther away, seemed to trigger a big earthquake in an instant.

Yinping is not far from Wudu County, and isn't that person's intention in Yinping obvious?
For a time, the leaders of Qiangdi in Wudu County were panicked.

So what the hell is General Han who just defeated hundreds of thousands of Wei troops? Is this something that humans can do?

Many Qiang and Di leaders secretly compared Mi Yang with the famous generals in history, and found that there seemed to be no famous general who could make such dazzling achievements at Mi Yang's age.

After thinking of this, many Qiangdi leaders trembled even more.

Hundreds of thousands of Wei troops were defeated by Mi Yang. If Mi Yang led his army into Wudu, would they be able to defeat Mi Yang?

Let alone this possibility, which "big king" would dare to be an enemy of Mi Yang?

When this kind of thought arose in the minds of all the Qiangdi leaders, they made a decision instantly.

You have to go to Yinping. If you go to Yinping, you don't know whether you will die or not, but if you don't go, you will definitely die in the future.

Soon many Qiang and Di leaders, under Mi Yang's order, handed over the tribe's soldiers and horses to the tribe, and then rushed towards Yinping with only a small team of personal guards.

In the past, these Qiang and Di leaders were all kings and hegemons in one side, but when faced with Mi Yang's orders, they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to bring more soldiers and horses to guard them.

Afraid of arousing the slightest suspicion of Mi Yang, he sent troops to eradicate their entire tribe.

The Qiangdi leaders who were good at riding arrived outside Yinping City in a short time.

And when they arrived outside Yinping City, they almost knelt down in shock from what they saw.

Tall piles of corpses composed of Wei Jun's corpses stood quietly outside Yinping City, like huge beasts, staring at them with cold eyes.

This scene is similar to Jingguan, as long as it is a normal person, it is unbearable, let alone the leaders of Qiangdi who are deeply afraid of Mi Yang?
Many Qiang and Di leaders have seen the bravery of the Wei army. Although the Wei army has failed in the civil war recently, it has never lost a foreign war.

And how brave is it to be able to build such a powerful Wei army into the Han army in Jingguan?

Don't dare to think, simply don't dare to think.

After learning that most of the Qiangdi leaders had arrived in Yinping City, Mi Yang held a meeting with the Qiangdi leaders in the barracks outside Yinping City shortly thereafter.

After being notified, many Qiangdi leaders arrived outside the gate of the camp early to show their respect.

But when many Qiang and Di leaders learned that Mi Yang was waiting inside the gate, they all walked forward in fright, and none of them dared to look up at the young man standing on the high platform.

Their lives are at a moment's notice, if they don't pretend to be grandsons at this moment, when will they pretend?

And Mi Yang looked at the group of Qiangdi leaders who walked in on their knees, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Why did you go early?
After the leaders of the Qiangdi walked on their knees to the open space not far from Mi Yang, a question floated from the high platform scared the leaders of the Qiangdi to the point of crying.

"Back then Gu asked General Hussars to recruit all of you to lead troops to guard Liangzhou, but how many of you led troops to help?

This incident made Gu very unhappy. "

As soon as Mi Yang's words fell, countless Han troops rushed out around the Yuanmen, and surrounded the Qiangdi leaders who were kneeling on the ground.

Looking at the shining blades around them, the leaders of Qiangdi couldn't bear it any longer and cried out directly.
