The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 107 Marching to Chengdu ([-])
On November 263th in AD [-], Guan Yi came to Jiangzhou and met Ma Cheng, the prefect of Bajun.

The current Ma Cheng, the prefect of Bajun in Shu Han, is the second generation of the Shu Han regime.This first-generation Marquis of Shan Township was, of course, the well-known former Shu Han hussar general Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi.

Mr. Ma Chao is a controversial figure, and most people who watch "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" like him.But in history, this guy was scolded miserably by the literati: integrity and righteousness.In fact, it means that he is disloyal and unfilial-strictly speaking, this kind of evaluation is not wrong.

Ma Chao first joined Han Sui to launch a rebellion in Liangzhou and attacked Guanzhong.At that time, Ma Chao's father Ma Teng, Ma Tie, Ma Xiu and other younger brothers were all hostages under the rule of Cao Cao in Yecheng.And Han Sui's son was also a hostage in Yecheng.So Ma Chao said to Han Sui before raising his troops this time: If we raise our troops this time, I will lose my father, and you will also have no son.So I treat you as a father, and you treat me as a son...

After Cao Cao defeated the Ma-Han coalition forces at Tongguan, Han Sui surrendered.Ma Chao returned to Liangzhou, united with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and quickly sent troops to seize Han Sui's territory, sweeping Liangzhou for a while——Cao Cao couldn't bear it anymore, and killed all Ma Chao's relatives in Yecheng.

In the battle for Liangzhou, Ma Chao killed the righteous man Yan Wen, and tacitly allowed Zhang Lu's general Yang Ang to kill Wei Kang, the governor of Liangzhou.In addition, he has too much Qiang style.It aroused the collective resistance of the Liangzhou family.In this melee, Ma Chao's family fell into the hands of Yang Fu and Jiang Xu.More than a hundred members of the family were all executed.Ma Chao also killed Jiang Xu's mother to vent his anger—and Jiang Xu's (Bo Yi) brother was named Jiang Jiong (Zhong Yi).Jiang Jiong's son is named Jiang Wei...

Ma Chao, who had completely failed in the battle for Liangzhou, had no choice but to flee to Hanzhong to attach himself to Zhang Lu.During his stay in Hanzhong, Ma Chao re-established his family and had a child.When Ma Chao returned to Liu Bei, his family members fell into the hands of Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu was a kind man, and he did not do anything to Ma Chao's family members at that time.But after Cao Cao entered Hanzhong, he forced Zhang Lu to kill Ma Chao's son with his own hands.

As a result, Ma Chao had no choice but to start a family in Shuhan for the third time.In the second year of Zhangwu in the Shu Han Dynasty (222 AD), Ma Chao, who was only 47 years old, was seriously ill and was about to die. In his memorial to Liu Bei, he said that all his family members were killed by Cao Cao, leaving only one cousin, Ma Dai. , Ask Liu Bei to let Ma Dai inherit his title.

As a result, less than five months after Ma Chao's death, his concubine gave birth to a son for him.Ma Dai named him Ma Cheng, and wrote to the Shu Han government, requesting that Ma Cheng inherit Ma Chao's title.Thus, Ma Cheng, the posthumous son, became the second generation of Xianghou in his infancy.

Ma Chao played a great role in helping Liu Bei pacify Hanzhong.But after all, the previous historical record is very bad.Therefore, when Liu Bei was promoted to the queen of Hanzhong, his attitude towards Ma Chao was that he would be a high-ranking official and rich in salary, and he would not give him any real power.This also caused Ma Chao to be extremely frustrated in Shu Han, and died very early in a depressed mood.

After Ma Chao's death, Ma Dai followed Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, and his official position slowly rose.But the good thing is that he chose Yang Yi as an ally. Ma Dai played a disgraceful role in Yang Yi's killing of the Wei Yan clan.Later, Yang Yi was quickly overthrown by Jiang Wan and Fei Yi.Fan Jian, Dong Jue and others who were also from Yiyang in Jingzhou like Wei Yan began to rise to power, so Ma Dai also quickly faded out of the Shu Han regime.In this way, the Ma family was reduced to an ordinary family of officials and eunuchs in the Shu Han.

Having said so much, in fact, the main meaning is two points.

First, the Ma family has never been a family of loyalty and filial piety.As the Ma family who lived and fought with the Qiang people in Liangzhou for a long time.Believe in strength and interests.It's nonsense to talk about serving the country loyally with this family.

Second, the two emperors of the Liu family were not very kind to the Ma family.As people from Liangzhou, the Ma family has never been accepted by any of the Jingzhou, Dongzhou, and Yizhou factions.Finally, Jiang Wei, who is also from Liangzhou, took control of the military power of Shuhan, and he is another one who has a blood feud with the Ma family...

Therefore, Guan Yi could only persuade Ma Cheng purely from the perspective of form and interests.

"Guan Yi pays a visit to Hou Xiang, ah, when he sees Hou Xiang, it's as if Weihou himself is face to face."

Weihou is not a formal fief name, but a posthumous title.When Liu Chan issued an edict three years ago to pursue the posthumous posthumous title of the founding hero, Ma Chao was posthumously named Weihou.Guan Yi said here that Ma Cheng is like Weihou, which is Hong Guoguo's kneeling and licking.

"Hahaha, Ma Cheng is flattered by the metaphor of Junhou. If he said that, wouldn't Ma Cheng also say that Junhou is like Zhuang Miaohou in person?"

Well, everyone is the descendant of the five tiger generals, not to mention the elder brother.

"Since we're talking about this, Guan Yi won't hide it anymore. I came to see Junhou today, but it's actually just one thing. You need to hold your hand high."

"Uh, Zifeng, Chengzi Yuze. Let's call each other by Biaozi. What did you say just now? You want to be proud of yourself? This is absolutely unbearable. Zifeng has done a great job in Fuling County over the years. Every time Ma Cheng mentions it, he always admires it. Is there anything you need me to hold high?"

"I really need Yize to raise your hand." Guan Yi smiled slightly and then looked serious: "Yi received an urgent report from Mi's business two days ago. The puppet Wei army, with about 3 people, has bypassed Jiange and entered Jiangyou from Jinggu Road .Now Jiangyou is broken. CD is in danger. Although His Majesty has not yet sent to Fuling to ask me to join Jingqin King, Guan Yi has already decided to lead the troops to CD by himself!"

"This..." It's really a big deal.After listening to Guan Yi's words, Ma Cheng was speechless for a while, and then he said hesitantly: "Cheng received a report from the imperial court this morning, and it was true that Jiangyou was broken eight days ago. I didn't say how many enemy troops there are... ...But the Di Bao also said that General Wei Zhuge Siyuan and General Right Yan Wenping led 8000 people to intercept them. Well, these are not the point. The point is, Zifeng, do you know what you are doing? No intention to lead troops to CD on your own! No matter what you think in your heart, you will be considered by others as ignoring Junfu and having ulterior motives!"

"That's true, but the country is at stake. Guan Yi can't take care of it anymore! Please give Yi Ze a high hand! Let Guan Yi's fleet pass in three days!"

"This...brother, you have really created a big problem for Brother Wei. It's fine for Zifeng to be desperate for the country, but if Brother just lets you go there, you will be forced to suffer along with him!"

"Hehehe, so that I can let my brother know. Not only does my brother want my brother to let me go, but I also want my brother to take two thousand Berkshire soldiers with me to King Qin of CD. After all, my brother's five hundred guards are from Xiliang. The last blood of the cavalry."

"You!" Ma Cheng was so angry that he dropped his teacup when he heard Guan Yi's request.But in an instant, he laughed again: "Zifeng, you don't mean to be strong on your brother, do you? You need to know that you are now in the prefect's mansion of Berkshire."

"Hehehe, brother, the little brother came here alone today, which means that he has no intention of using force."

"and you……."

Guan Yi didn't bother to tangle with him anymore, so he directly offered a price: "Two percent of dry shares of Fuxing Society."

"Hiss~~~" Ma Cheng was not stupid.He knew how prosperous the Fuxing Society's business had been these years.Although it is true that Ma Cheng did not dare to sway the Fuxing Society because the Ma family belonged to an alternative that no one wanted to see in the Shu Han regime, it is impossible for you to say that Ma Cheng is not jealous—you must know that due to the small size of the country and the population of the Shu Han Rarely, these marquises are all vain dukes, without fiefdoms!If the officials of the Shu Han were not greedy, they really didn't have much money.

"Three...three centimeters."

"Hehehe, brother, don't be too greedy. Last year, my Fuxing Club's turnover exceeded 600 billion yuan, and its net profit was more than [-] million yuan. The dividend of [-]% is [-] million yuan under normal circumstances."

"really?"

"really!"

"...Okay. Well, let's invite Brother Yu's army to pass through Jiangzhou at night. Brother Yu will be asleep and don't know anything."

I give you 600 million yuan every year and you just tell me this?Heh heh, that won't work.

"Brother, it's just the two of us now. As the younger brother, I will tell you my heartfelt words. If the big man is destroyed this time, with my brother's knowledge, what do you think the Ma family will be in the world of the Sima family in the future? Woolen cloth?"

What status?This is really hard to say.But one thing is for sure: in the Cao Wei regime where the nine-rank Zhongzheng system was very mature, the Ma family, a family with mixed Han and Qiang blood, could not be ranked as a first-class family anyway.Not to mention first class, second class and third class are impossible!In the nine levels of upper upper, upper middle, upper lower, middle upper, middle middle, middle lower, lower upper, lower middle, lower lower.It would be nice to be in the upper middle.

There is no doubt that although the Ma family's status in the Shu Han regime is very embarrassing, but because Ma Chao's starting point in the Shu Han is very high, the Ma family is at least a second-rate family in the Shu Han.If the Shu Han died...

Seeing Ma Chengruo thinking, Guan Yi immediately said: "Since the death of Pingbei (Ma Dai), the Ma family has not made a sound in the court hall of the Han Dynasty for many years. If this time in the battle of King Qin, Ma The family's Xiliang iron cavalry reappeared in the world, and try to turn the tide?"

　I don't know who was the prefect of Berkshire on the eve of the fall of Shu Han.This is where the plot needs to be.Ma's family is a very important family in the future pig's foot revival society.
