Zhuge Liang used what tricks to bring down Ma Chao

In the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang did not use tricks to surrender Ma Chao, at that time he was still dealing with things in Jingzhou, and Liu Bei was beside Pang Tong and Fa Zheng, as for Ma Chao, he was desperate in the Xiliang region before he took refuge in Liu Bei.

Since Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Sun Quan, his ambitions were extremely inflated, and he had evil intentions towards the Yizhou of his clan brother Liu Zhang. Liu Bei was worried that he had no legitimate reason to enter Yizhou, but Liu Zhang suddenly wrote here. It turned out that this Liu Zhang was threatened by Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and he urgently needed the help of Liu Bei, a clan brother, to fight against Zhang Lu together.

Of course Liu Bei is willing to help with this favor, not only Liu Zhang's territory is to be taken away, but even Zhang Lu's can't let go, it's best to serve it in one pot. Liu Bei had Liu Zhang's invitation letter, so he relaxed and swaggered into Yizhou. As soon as he arrived in Yizhou, Liu Bei spread benevolence and righteousness to appease the people, and his ambition can be imagined.

Later, after the incident at the east window, Liu Zhang found that his beloved strategist colluded with Liu Bei and exchanged letters, trying to send Yizhou to Liu Bei. Liu Zhang was furious, immediately beheaded the strategists, and sent the general Zhang Ren to resist, but it was too late, Liu Bei had already fledged in Yizhou, and it was no longer the original. Liu Bei's offensive was brave, attacking the city all the way, and the momentum was like a bamboo.

Seeing this situation, Liu Zhang remembered his neighbor Zhang Lu again, sent a strategist, explained his interests, and promised to give twenty cities to Zhang Lu after the matter was completed. We don't know if Liu Zhang will send it or not, but Zhang Luxin sent Ma Chao, the general who had just defected, to Jiameng Pass to resist Liu Bei. Ma Chao, the word Meng Qi, after the famous general Ma Yuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the son of Ma Teng.

Ma Chao was born in a family of military generals, familiar with the art of war, strong martial arts, was a rare famous general at that time, Ma Chao had a big battle with Cao Cao, and killed Cao Cao to lose his armor. In the face of Ma Chao, Liu Bei also felt panicked, and hurriedly sent Zhang Fei to resist, only to see that Ma Chao and Zhang Fei fought for hundreds of rounds, without falling behind, and they were full of energy. Liu Bei saw that Ma Chao was so brave, and his love for talent rose again, and he wanted to accept it.

Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's thoughts, and immediately offered a plan, Lord, do you want to take this Ma Chao for your own use? If you want to, I have a way, but I'll have to break the bank. I saw that Zhuge Liang took out a lot of money to bribe Zhang Lu's strategist, Yang Song.

Yang Song was greedy for money, and when he saw the gold and silver, he immediately did so, and provoked the relationship between Ma Chao and Zhang Lu many times, so that Zhang Lu distrusted Ma Chao more and more. In the end, Ma Chao was cornered, Liu Bei chased after him, and Zhang Lu intercepted him, and in a hurry, he led the army to surrender Liu Bei. This is a fragment from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it can be seen that Ma Chao defected to Liu Bei entirely because of Zhuge Liang's strategy.

In fact, this is not the case, in the description of the official history, Ma Chao's surrender has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang. According to the records in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", Lu was not enough to plan things, and he was conceived in Yi, and he heard that the first lord surrounded Liu Zhang in Chengdu, and the secret book asked him to surrender. To put it bluntly, it was because of Zhang Lu, Ma Chao thought that Zhang Lu could not achieve great things, and he had already betrayed him.

Hearing that Liu Bei was close to Yizhou, Ma Chao hurriedly wrote a surrender letter to Liu Bei, and finally led the army to surrender.

Zhuge Liang's evaluation of Ma Chao:

Zhuge Liang: "Meng Qi is both civil and military, heroic, the hero of the first generation, the disciple of Huang and Peng", "The reputation of loyalty, Su Fei, Ma Zhilun." "Three Kingdoms: Guan Zhang, Ma Huang Zhao Biography".

Ma Chao (176 222 years), the word Meng Qi, a native of Fufeng Maoling, the son of Wei Wei Ma Teng, the founding general of the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Shu Han Dynasty, and one of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty. In his early years, he fought with his father, and after Ma Teng entered Beijing, Ma Chao stayed in Yongzhou Sanfu. After the Battle of Tongguan was defeated by Cao Cao, he divided the counties of Longshang in Liangzhou.

After the defeat, he attached himself to Zhang Lu and switched to Liu Bei. He died of illness in December of the second year of Zhangwu (January 223) at the age of 47.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and folk culture nicknamed "Jin Ma Chao", because of the handsome appearance and the extraordinary outfit of the lion helmet and beast belt, white robe and silver armor, there is "no reduction in the courage of Lu Bu".

Zhuge said that Ma Chao has both civil and military resources, and he still has no strategy?? That was modified by the romance Zhuge Liang: Meng Qi is both civil and military, heroic, the master of the first generation, the disciple of Huang and Peng, when he and Yide are driving the first, they are still not as good as the peerless Yiqun.

Cao Cao: If the horse doesn't die, I don't have a burial place.

Yang Fu: Super trustworthy, brave and brave, even Qiang, Hu Xin.

Chen Shou: Ma Chao hindered Rong Yong, in order to overthrow his clan, it's a pity! Can be poor to Tai, not better!

Yang Xi: Hussars rose up, even the horizontal and subordinate, the first thing was Sanqin, and the river and Tong were protected. The plan is in the court, or different or the same, the enemy takes advantage of the provocation, and the family is ruined and the army is killed. Be obedient and anti-moral, and entrust the phoenix and climb the dragon.

Wang Shang: Super brave but not benevolent, not thinking about it, not to be lips and teeth.

Liu Bei: With the king's faith in the northern soil, the majesty and the show, it is to appoint the king, resist the tiger, and Dong Wanli, and seek the people's misery. Its Ming Xuan Dynasty, Huai Bao Yuan, prudent rewards and punishments, to the Han Hu, to the world.

There are two main reasons: one is to make people, Ma Chao, a generation of heroes! However, it is a pity that he died too early, and he "passed away" before he made any "achievements";

On the other hand, in fact, it is also a key point: Zhang Lu, who Ma Chao took refuge in before his death, attacked Liu Bei, and he himself was brave, so after he took refuge in Liu Bei, he was afraid that Liu Bei would be suspicious of him, so he would repeat his previous mistake of taking refuge in Zhang Lu, so he was cautious everywhere.

And Liu Bei is not useless for Ma Chao, because at that time, Liu Bei arranged for him to guard the northwest to maximize the use of his strengths - "live in Longyou for a long time, and get along with the Qiang people", Ma Chao is known as a saint in the Qiang people.

When Ma Chao was guarding the northwest, he died in revenge for depression. It's a big pity.

No war now! Ma Chao and Zhuge Liang can live together in harmony, Ma Chao will be a good general in Anbian early, Zhuge Liang is only eight buckets high, and Ma Chao seems to be rich and rich!
