Chapter 429 A Filial Son Replaces Ma Teng? The Greatest Villain of the Era Makes His Appearance!
Chapter 429 A Filial Son Replaces Ma Teng? The Greatest Villain of the Era Makes His Appearance!
Seeing that Ma Teng remained unmoved, Chen Gong was not discouraged, but said meaningfully:
"General Ma, have you been finding it increasingly difficult to manage your proud and fierce troops in recent years?"
Ma Teng angrily cursed:
"none of your business?"
Chen Gong shook his head, as if recounting a commonplace anecdote:
"The six foreign tribes that occupied the borders of our Han Dynasty—Xianbei, Wuhuan, Southern Xiongnu, Qiang, Di, and Jie—were always embroiled in brutal and bloody power struggles."
"It's common for brothers to kill each other."
“Even between fathers and sons, there are occasional cases of fathers killing sons or sons killing fathers.”
"As a neighbor of the Qiang, Di, and Jie tribes, General Ma should be familiar with this, right?"
Ma Teng frowned.
His intuition told him that Chen Gong's words had a hidden meaning.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Ma Teng looked coldly at Chen Gong.
"Hahaha, it's nothing, I'm just telling General Ma a lesson."
Just because you consider yourself Han Chinese doesn't mean your son considers himself Han Chinese too!
The words fell.
The door to the council chamber was pushed open by a pair of strong, powerful hands.
"Father, I beg you to step down."
The one who spoke had disheveled hair, wore silver beast armor, and held a tiger-headed golden spear.
It was none other than the filial son Ma Chao!
Jin Ma Chao is a fictional character.
He's of mixed Han and Qiang descent, and he identifies more with Qiang culture. Where did this "Jin Ma Chao" come from? He should be called "Wild Ma Chao"!
However, both the Qiang and Di people are very skilled at throwing javelins.
Ma Chao's javelin throwing technique was even more superb.
It is accurate every time it hits, and its movement speed is very fast, enabling it to continuously throw javelins.
"What are you doing?"
Upon seeing Ma Chao appear fully armed and ready for battle, a shadow of gloom rose in Ma Teng's heart.
The situation is bad...
Ma Teng was originally a Han Chinese from the Fufeng area.
Fufeng is located northwest of Chang'an, at the junction of Liangzhou and Guanzhong regions, making it a crossroads of civilizations.
However, Ma Teng's background was too humble; claiming to be a descendant of General Fubo was merely his self-proclaimed identity.
His true origins were that of a descendant of woodcutters (as recorded in the Records of the Three Kingdoms).
He himself worked as a woodcutter for many years.
Even getting married and having children was beyond Ma Teng's capabilities, let alone realizing his ideals and ambitions.
Therefore, at the age of twenty-five, Ma Teng ventured deep into Liangzhou and began to mingle with the Qiang, Di, and Jie tribes.
With his strength and fighting prowess, Ma Teng made a decent living in Liangzhou, even marrying a Qiang woman and having a son named Ma Chao.
Later, Ma Teng met Han Sui, and the two repeatedly followed various powerful figures in Liangzhou to rebel against the Han Dynasty.
However, these powerful figures were not the main characters in the chaotic end of the Han Dynasty.
They encountered Dong Zhuo, the undisputed protagonist of the late Han Dynasty and early period!
Dong Zhuo went berserk.
One comes, one is killed;
Bring a pair, kill a pair!
Bian Zhang, Song Jian, Wang Guo, and Hou Xuan, these prominent rebels in Liangzhou, died one after another at the hands of Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang army!
Ma Teng and Han Sui were so badly beaten that they retreated to the mountains and forests, afraid to come out.
It wasn't until Dong Zhuo entered the capital that the two dared to cause trouble again.
A few years later, Dong Zhuo died, and Ma Teng and Han Sui were very happy.
Liangzhou became their territory!
However, the two fully utilized their friendly spirit of undermining each other, causing Liangzhou to remain in a strange balance.
Ma Teng's eldest son, Ma Chao, who has half Qiang blood, is also growing up step by step.
He highly admired the wild culture of the Qiang, Di, and Jie peoples and disliked Han culture.
Of course, Ma Teng also bears some responsibility for this matter.
Initially, Ma Teng married a Qiang woman, thereby gaining some recognition from the Qiang people.
After Ma Teng made a name for himself, he married the niece of Bian Zhang, a prominent rebel leader, and made her his principal wife because she was a Han Chinese woman.
It was from this time that Ma Teng began to claim that he was a descendant of General Ma Yuan, the pacification general.
Bian Zhang's niece gave birth to three children for Ma Teng: Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Yunlu.
Ma Teng longed to return to Han culture because he was originally a Han Chinese.
Ma Chao, the eldest son, naturally could not agree with this.
He was born among the Qiang people.
When he was around ten years old, his father suddenly brought him a Han Chinese stepmother and said that the stepmother was the legal wife, and he kept shouting that he wanted to return to Han culture. What did Ma Chao think?
hatred!
Nothing but hatred!
Finally, Ma Chao's hatred blossomed and, under Chen Gong's instigation, ignited a conflict with Ma Teng!
"You unfilial son! What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Aren't you going to step back?"
Ma Teng reprimanded Ma Chao.
Ma Chao clearly saw that Ma Teng was trembling!
"Father, do you want to die?"
Ma Chao grinned maliciously, his tiger-headed golden spear pointing directly at Ma Teng.
In terms of martial prowess, Ma Chao could easily defeat Ma Teng.
Especially after entering his prime, Ma Chao felt that he was even more terrifyingly strong.
"Rebel!"
"Do you think you can overthrow me all by yourself?"
Ma Teng called out to the guards outside the door.
There was a sound of rapid footsteps.
Ma Dai arrived with his guards.
"Brother, shall we kill the old traitor?"
Ma Dai respectfully cupped his hands towards Ma Chao.
I forgot to mention that Ma Dai, like Ma Chao, was of mixed Han and Qiang descent.
"Ma Dai...you!!!"
Ma Teng couldn't believe Ma Dai's betrayal.
Unfortunately, facts speak louder than words.
Ma Dai and Ma Chao were always on the same side.
"After all, I still have some Han Chinese blood, how could I commit patricide?"
"Send him to Han Sui to establish our cooperation."
"Yes!"
Ma Dai led his guards forward and captured Ma Teng.
"General Ma, don't say that I, Chen, didn't give you a chance."
Chen Gong smiled.
The scene of "filial piety that caused a great uproar" greatly pleased Chen Gong.
Unexpectedly, Ma Chao suddenly turned around and said to Chen Gong:
"Don't try to outsmart me."
"Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
Chen Gong was speechless, alarm bells ringing in his mind.
Ma Chao is a person who has even less principles and less bottom line than Lü Bu!
At least Lü Bu killed his adoptive father.
Ma Chao...
"Don't worry, General Ma, my lord is looking forward to a friendly cooperation with you."
"So best."
A strange light flickered in Ma Chao's eyes, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.
"Ma Dai, kill all of that old bastard's children!"
"Yes."
Ma Dai was startled, but he still accepted Ma Chao's order.
If he disobeys Ma Chao.
Without a doubt, Ma Chao will definitely poke a hundred holes in him with his Tiger Head Golden Spear!
"He's a wolf that can't be tamed."
This is Chen Gong's evaluation of Ma Chao.
The news that Ma Chao had replaced Ma Teng as the lord of the Ma family army quickly spread throughout Liangzhou.
As for Ma Teng's children, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were killed by Ma Dai.
Ma Yunlu was rescued by her father's confidant and her whereabouts are unknown.
Upon learning that Ma Yunlu had run away, Ma Chao slapped Ma Dai across the face!
"waste!"
"This is the last time. If you disappoint me again, I will hand you over to the Qiang people to be ravaged."
There was not a trace of emotion in Ma Chao's eyes.
The greatest villain of the late Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms period makes his debut!
……
P.S.: Ma Chao is a pure villain, and there is absolutely no possibility of him being redeemed.
