The phrase "Ma Chao does not lose the courage of Lu Bu" made Ma Chao famous. Ma Chao's martial arts are very strong, just like Zhao Yun. They all take the technical route, but the comprehensive technology is stronger than Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, second only to Lu Bu. But because they tend to attack, they can play better when they fight one-on-one Adjusting troops is also his strength.

In the last years of Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty, Marten, Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others fought in Xizhou. When Dong Zhuo entered the customs, he advised Marten and Han Sui to advise Shandong. So, in the third year of Chuping (192), Han Sui and Marten led the troops to Chang 'an. After the death of Dong Zhuo, Cui Li and others appointed Han Sui as the general of Zhenxi, sent him back to Jincheng, appointed Marten as the general of Zhenxi, and sent him to station? 1? 7d county. After Marten and Han Sui tried to attack Chang 'an, Cui Li was killed and defeated and returned to Liangzhou.
Zhong You, a senior official of the official department, was guarding Guanzhong. He wrote to Marten and Han Sui, telling them that they had unfortunately separated their interests. Marten sent his eldest son, Ma Chao, to Pingyang with Zhong You to crusade against Guoyuan and Gao Qian, and Ma Chao personally beheaded Guoyuan with Pound. Ma Chao was shot dead by an arrow in the battle. He wrapped his injured foot in a cloth bag and continued to fight, making a name for the three armed forces.

Marten and Han Sui are closely related. But over time, bad blood grew, and they turned against each other and attacked each other for many years. After persuasion, the two reconciled.
In the 13th year of Jian 'an (208), the court transferred Marten back to the capital, appointed him as Qiu, appointed Ma Chao as a partial general, made the capital Hou Ting, and put him in charge of Marten's army. After Ma Chao unified the army, he joined forces with Han Sui. Ma Chao moved to the Kansai region and won the support of the local Qiang people.
In the 16th year of Jian 'an (2 1 1), in March, Cao Cao sent a captain Zhong You to crusade against Zhang Lu, and sent the Western Imperial Army to join forces with Zhong You in the summer. This threatened the existence and development of Ma Chaobu.
When the generals in Guanzhong saw that Cao Cao had left Guanzhong to conquer Zhang Lu, they suspected that his purpose was not for Zhang Lu, but to attack the enemy at a dangerous time. Therefore, ten departments are opposed, and hundreds of thousands of people are stationed in Tongguan. These ten films include Ma Chao, Han Sui, Hou Xuan, Yin Cheng, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi and Ma Wan. Cao Cao sent Cao Ren, the general of Anxi, to lead the troops to resist, and said to the generals, "Don't fight the soldiers in Kansai" ("The History of the Three Kingdoms? 9? 9 Shu Wei? 9? 9 "Wu Di Ji"). In July of the same year, Cao Cao personally led the troops to attack Ma Chao and others (see the battle of Weinan). In August, soldiers arrived in Tongguan.
