Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 428 Ruthless and Unjust?no it's a sad story
——Ruthless and unyielding Jin Ma Chao!

It is hard to imagine that Ma Chao, a strong warrior, would die of illness at the age of 45.

It can be seen that the four characters 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, unable to recover after a setback.

As for... Ma Chao, the four characters of "ruthless and unrighteous" are deeply imprinted.

The reasons are nothing less than three. The first one is that the father and brother were in the enemy camp, and he rebelled and killed his family;

The second is to kill countless famous and respected people in Guanzhong;

The third is to defect to the enemy during the battle, regardless of his wife and children... causing his wife and children to be killed!

It seems that... all the evidence of this crime has not been washed away.

But... Guan Lin still told Wang Can, Ruan Yu, Jiang Gan, and Zhang Xingcai, who was still crying, a heavy and sad story.

This is Ma Chao's story.

Ma Chao was born in Fufeng Maoling.

In his grandfather's area, it was still in the period of Emperor Huan. As a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan, a descendant of Jiangmen, Grandpa Ma Chao also served as the captain of Langan County in Tianshui County, but he lost his official position for some reason and his family was poor, so he lived in Where Han and Qiang lived together, Ma Chao's grandfather married a Qiang girl and gave birth to Ma Teng, and Ma Teng married another 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, he was a woodcutter.

Later, Ma Teng was valued by the state and county, and he was appointed as a "military officer" and took charge of the troops.

It must be mentioned here that the reason why Ma Teng is so successful is because of the support of senior state and county officials.

In the Han Dynasty, the prerequisite for supporting a person was that the person was capable and he could be his own.

It was at this time that Ma Teng married the daughter of a high-ranking official, hired him as his wife, and gave birth to two legitimate sons, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie.

Since then, as a bastard, Ma Chao, whose mother is a Qiang, began to encounter neglect and exclusion.

The concubine always makes things difficult for Ma Chao and the Qiang mother, but because of the status of the concubine, Ma Teng can only turn a blind eye to this.

It was 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. Only in this way could he lead his mother to live a good life.

Because of his status, Ma Chao couldn't get along with those descendants of generals... descendants of high officials and dignitaries.

On the contrary, they can mix with the Qiang and Di people who advocate martial arts.

Year after year, because of his wife, Ma Teng treats his mother badly and 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, what Ma Chao identifies with is their ancestor of the Ma family in Fufeng Maoling, General Fubo who was loyal to the Han Dynasty—Ma Yuan...

Ma Chao has always regarded Ma Yuan as his lifelong goal.

Finally, the accident happened.

Father Ma Teng and Han Sui joined forces with the Qiang people to rebel, and then recruited, rebelled, recruited, rebelled...Father Ma Teng began to repeatedly jump between loyal and rebellious Han.

The people he is loyal to have also changed from Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Guo Si at the beginning to Cao Cao...

Can these?
Which one is not a traitor?
In the end, Ma Teng is going to become an official with Cao Cao, Wei Wei, this is a high-ranking official of the Jiuqing...with endless glory and wealth, and with the "waste" of the lives of the two wives.

He just didn't take Ma Chao there, that's right... he, Ma Chao, a bastard, deserves to go to Xu Capital?Go to the emperor's side to be an official?

You know, even if it's a melee between the princes, but... there is still a chain of contempt in this world.

Those in Kanto despise those in Kansai, and officials in Beijing despise border officials.

Of course, Ma Chao didn't want to go either. He was committed to being a loyal man like his ancestor General Fubo Ma Yuan, and he didn't bother to work for a rebel like Cao Cao.

Then, it was Ma Chao who rebelled with Han Sui and said the famous sentence "Now, Ma Chao abandons his father and takes 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 ten Thousands of soldiers and horses crusade against Cao Cao!

Having said that, Guan Lin paused for a moment.

But Wang Can knocked on his forehead and asked suspiciously.

"That's not right...Even if Ma Teng treats Ma Chao badly, even if Ma Chao devotes himself to being a loyal minister like General Fubo Ma Yuan, he can ignore his father's life and accept Han Sui as his father... This is unjustifiable anyway!"

indeed.

From the perspective of extreme Confucianism in the feudal era, respecting the old and loving the young, courtesy, justice, integrity and shame are more important than fate.

The great man ruled the world with filial piety.

嗏

Guan Lin proposed a brand new point. "I just 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?"

This…

Wang Can paused, thought for a while, and then replied: "Cao Cao has always coveted the lands of Guanzhong and Yongliang. He sent Zhong Yao and Zhang Ji to coordinate the various ministries in Chang'an. Horses and strong, warlike soldiers! He has been deploying since the Northern Expedition to Jizhou, and sent Xia Houyuan to test again and again..."

"So..." Guan Lin followed Wang Can's words, "This is the difference between strong thinking and weak thinking."

Guan Lin continued to explain, "Since Ma Teng brought his two sons into Xudu, Ma Chao was actually doomed to have only two paths, one is to resist, and the other is to surrender. Then... the question is, Cao Cao sent Xia Houyuan to fight Ma Chao? Is it filial piety? Is it useful to kneel down to Xia Houyuan and say 'I beg you, don't kill me, don't kill my father'?"

"In other words, regardless of whether Ma Chao kneels or not, Cao Cao will not let go of the Ma family, nor will he let go of such a powerful force as the Guanzhong Warlords. This is part of his strategy...From Ma Chao's point of view, Cao Cao deliberately Bad, only by fighting can there be a chance of life, so at this moment of life and death, he told Ma Teng's friend Han Sui, "I don't want my father anymore, you are my father, and I will be your son from now on", this is a critical moment The only way to win over the opponent and ensure that the Guanzhong warlords are not wiped out! This is great wisdom!"

Having said that, Guan Lin turned his hands away, his eyes narrowed further.

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, but that you have to kneel down and beg for filial piety in exchange for filial piety. How about filial piety? How many people in the world can do it today?"

"What's more, when Ma Chao and Cao Cao were negotiating peace in the Weishui River, Ma Chao prepared a bag that could hold six dendrobium rice. All the soldiers present knew about this, Mr. Wang? You know, what did Ma Chao do with this bag? "

Wang Can's curiosity was all aroused. He knew about the bag, but it was just a function...

Immediately, Wang Can quickly asked, "What are you doing?"

Guan Lin didn't go around and answered directly: "Ma Chao used this bag to measure Cao Cao's figure. He wanted to put Cao Cao in this bag and capture Cao Cao... If Xu Chu was not by his side, he would have succeeded! "

Guan Lin spoke so fast that he didn't give Wang Can time to think about it. He continued, "Why is Ma Chao planning to kidnap Cao Cao at such a short distance? Doesn't he know that Cao Cao has armor weighing dozens of catties? The two armies How easy is it to abduct a person before the battle? Ma Chao is also a master of swordsmanship, can't he directly assassinate Cao Cao? What is this for?"

This…

Wang Can's eyes widened. The details Guan Lin proposed made him feel overwhelmed, and there was even a faint taste of deliberation and extreme fear.

Wang Can's voice became stuttering, "Yes... for what?"

"Ma Chao planned to take Cao Cao away from the beginning, and use Cao Cao's life in exchange for his father and brothers in Xuducheng..." Guan Lin raised his voice, "Because this is the only one who can fulfill filial piety without kneeling. Method! To achieve this step, Ma Chao is already worthy of Ma Teng, worthy of this filial piety! At least he will not be condemned by the world!"

clang...

With one sentence, Wang Can felt that he was not well...

His entire impression of Ma Chao was also overturned overnight.

This is not a ruthless person, this is clearly a brave and resourceful man!

Guan Lin's words continued.

"As for Ma Chao killing those famous officials in Guanzhong, you know... that was after Cao Cao first abandoned the contract and killed Ma Teng, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie. Was it too much for Ma Chao to kill Cao Cao's officials in response?"

"As for the people who killed Yang Fu's family and Jiang Xu's old mother later, this is retribution. Cao Cao killed Ma Chao's people, Ma Chao killed Cao Cao's people, and Cao Cao killed Ma Chao's people again and again... This makes sense and has faith. Is there anything to say?"

This…

Wang Can couldn't help pursing his lips, while Ruan Yu and Jiang Gan beside him were also dumbfounded.

Today, the three of them... seem to have been given a vivid lesson on "strong thinking" and "weak thinking".

Or to be more precise, is it a vivid lesson of kneeling in full filial piety in the face of the enemy's aggression, or standing up to resist...

only…

Wang Can suddenly thought of something, "There is one more thing. When Ma Chao surrendered to Uncle Liu Huang, his wife and children were still in Zhang Lu's hands. This action caused his wife and children to be killed. Isn't this abandoning his wife and son?"

"This..." Guan Lin spread his hands, "There is nothing to say about this...It's very simple, you said that Ma Chao abandoned his wife and son? But how often does my uncle abandon his wife? When Cao Cao captured Pi, my uncle's wife was thrown away. Now, Gao Shun attacked Xiaopei, my uncle lost his wife again, Chang Banpo... My uncle also lost two daughters, and his life and death are still uncertain... Taking a step back, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty? He lost his wife and abandoned him Son, Xiang Yu arrested Liu Bang's father, what did Liu Bang say? Let Xiang Yu get a share of the pie!"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin paused for a moment, and continued to say earnestly: "In troubled times, who can save the family? The lives of parents, wives and children are all in the hands of the enemy. Whether they can be saved is not because of Ma Chao himself, but because of Ma Chao. Because the enemy is not benevolent?"

actually…

In Guan Lin's view, looking at the entire history of the Shu Han.

Ma Chao is definitely a rare talent, a loyal talent, and a loving and righteous person 1
To know.

When Ma Chao was in Sichuan, one year Dong Zhong paid Ma Chao a New Year greeting. Ma Chao vomited blood directly, saying that my whole family of more than a hundred people had been killed, and that it would be a crazy New Year!

This is Ma Chao's annoyance to himself, his unwillingness to himself.

Another thing is that an official named Peng Yi refused to accept Liu Bei, so he asked Ma Chao to make an agreement to rebel against Liu Bei.

Ma Chao told Liu Bei directly!

This may not be loyalty, but it must be that Ma Chao has been a hero for half his life, and now he is under the fence, and he is always in fear in Liu Bei's camp...

The reason for his fear was because he felt that he did not stand up to save his father, which resulted in the death of the whole family. He screwed up, broke his heart, and hurt his reputation for the rest of his life.

However, Liu Bei is another person who values ​​reputation and establishes himself with benevolence and righteousness...

Because of his faction of Ma Chao, and because of the slander against him by the outside world, Ma Chao is destined not to be reused.

He was named the Five Tiger Generals because he brought a "Di tribe cavalry" over.

It is because of his prestige among the Di and Qiang tribes.

Sitting on the bench, alone in Shu, this is his normal state!

Thinking of this, Guan Lin felt a pity.

Such a person who can fight, is brave, and hates Cao Wei to the bone, but Liu Bei put him in Bashu as a mascot.

This is simply reckless!
The point is, Ma Chao must not be Lu Bu!
However, Guan Lin knew it, Liu Bei didn't know it, and everyone in the world didn't know it, which was embarrassing.

However, right now... because of papermaking and printing, the public opinion in the market may be reversed by a large number of printed books.

Ma Chao must be beneficial to the Zhongxing Han Dynasty. If Ma Chao is to be used in Shuzhong, he will bear the brunt of it, and Ma Chao's reputation... will have to be reversed.

With this in mind, Guan Lin asked Wang Can solemnly. "What I said? It may be written in "Heroes"..."

"But... it should be possible!" Wang Can hadn't recovered yet, only felt that the thunder was rolling, and his outlook on life was overturned.

"Remember to add more exaggeration in the article." Guan Lin ordered meaningfully, "especially the sentence, Ma Chao is not ashamed of his father's loyalty to the rebel Cao Cao, and he is dedicated to reshaping the glory of his ancestor General Fubo Ma Yuan. The Han Dynasty...he identified my uncle as the reincarnation of Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, my uncle will be Liu Bang, and his Ma Chao will be the Ma Yuan of the ZTE Han Dynasty, supporting my uncle!"

This…

Although these few words are a bit exaggerated, but... "Heroes", novels...

Wang Can thought it was okay.

"I've memorized it all... I will write Ma Chao's article according to what Mr. Yunqi said."

"After finishing writing, just print it out..." Guan Lin waved his hand, and then... "Send some to Sichuan first, at least...in our Sichuan, we can't let loyal people bleed, sweat and cry..."

Guan Lin cherishes talent... even more cherish the talent of this Xiliang horse.

Later generations always say that there is a shortage of talents in Sichuan... lack of a caterpillar?
What, exactly, is the cause of the scarcity?Half of them died in the "second company" of the Jingzhou and Yiling battles, and the other half died in factional struggles!
Surrender?Why can't it be used!

If you use it well, it will definitely not be weaker than your father Guan Yu——

...

...

Chengdu, General Zuo's Mansion.

Just now, Liu Bei was already closing his clothes and was about to fall asleep. Suddenly... Zhao Yun rushed to report that the notification was nothing serious, almost scared Liu Bei to pee!

It was his wife Sun Shangxiang who came to him so late.

Uh…

This frightened Liu Bei to get dressed in a hurry. Middle-aged and elderly people...have to learn to protect themselves, not to mention...In Liu Bei's view, other women come to his place at night, at most asking for money...but if Sun Shangxiang wants to come, it will be fatal!

"Let Madam go to the main hall? I'll come later..."

"promise!"

Following Liu Bei's order, and Zhao Yun's answer... Zhao Yun went to lead Sun Shangxiang to the main hall.

Liu Bei was gasping for breath.

Sure enough, when he first entered Shu, Zhuge Liang's words "Fear Cao Gong's strength in the north, Sun Quan's pressure in the east, and Mrs. Sun's life change at the elbow and armpit in the near, when it is time, advance and retreat like a wolf..." This is not just talking.

Soon...

After Liu Bei put on his clothes, he walked into the main hall under the guard of Zhao Yun. Sun Shangxiang wore a red dress and turned his back to him.

He didn't turn around until he heard footsteps... but he wasn't as domineering as before.

On the contrary... Today's Sun Shangxiang still has some rare "dignity" and "tranquility".

"Madam came here so late, presumably there is something important to do?" Liu Bei opened his mouth slowly, took the teacup from the desk, put it to his mouth, and took a sip to suppress his shock.

"I'm going to my husband's room? Does it have to be something important?"

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 wedding candles with Sun Shangxiang, against the candlelight, that delicate and slightly worried little face... At that time, he, Liu Bei, naively thought that this Miss Sun was so pretty.

From Liu Bei's point of view, this matter is simply out of line.

Because... no matter how beautiful it is, it can't stand the hundreds of female guards with swords at the door, nor can it stand the boudoir full of knives, guns, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. Those who know it think it's a bridal chamber, and those who don't know it think it's a Shura field.

to date…

Liu Beiyou had lingering fears.

"Ma'am, don't make fun of me, let's talk about business?"

Seeing Liu Bei's fearful look, Sun Shangxiang gave a "poof" smile, "I came here to ask for my husband's consent... Ever since I left Jiangdong, there have been times when my mother wrote to me from time to time, and I also miss my mother for a long time. I'm already old, so I want to ask my husband to agree to allow me to go back to Jiangdong...to show filial piety!"

Well…

Sun Shangxiang's words startled Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei's expression didn't change much, his heart was full of ecstasy and throbbing, as if every cell in his internal organs was speaking a word.

——"You want to go back to Jiangdong? 』

——"Is there such a good thing? 』

Yes…

Sun Shangxiang is going back to Jiangdong, which for Liu Bei has to be celebrated.

However, after all, Liu Bei is a man who has beaten Cao Cao's "mind attack" in "hiding the mind", and he is constantly admonishing himself in his heart.

——"Restraint, restraint..."

A look of worry suddenly appeared on his cheeks, "Madam is leaving, I am so reluctant to part with it...but..."

Talk about but, but in fact... no but!

The words in Liu Bei's heart are just one sentence:
——"Madam, please leave quickly! 』

——"Please! 』

——"It's easy to please God and it's hard to send God away! 』

...
