Who is Ma Liang?
Ma Liang (A.D. 187-222), whose name is Ji Chang. A native of Yicheng, Xiangfan, a famous minister of Shu and Han. Five brothers, all famous. Ma Liang's eyebrows have white hair, and his hometown people say that "horses have five permanent members, and white eyebrows are the best." Li Guan engaged in, left the general to slap, and serve the middle school. He has a good relationship with Zhuge Liang, which can be seen from two things: Zhuge Liang went to Shu with Liu Bei, and Ma Liang wrote to Zhuge Liang that Luocheng (now Guanghan County, Sichuan Province) had been captured, and my brother wanted to make great achievements and advance with victory. On this basis, people speculate that he and Zhuge Liang are brothers or related by blood. Zhuge Liang is older, so he calls Liang his brother (the relationship between Ma Liang and Zhuge Liang is quoted from the reflection of Pei Songzhi). Ma Liang was ordered to be sent to Wu Dong. He asked Zhuge Liang to write a recommendation letter to Sun Quan, and Zhuge Liang asked him to draft and sign it himself. The last two sentences hope that Sun Quan will "calm down and be patient to comfort his life". After reading the letter, Sun Quan respected him very much. In the first year of Zhangwu (AD 22 1 year), Liu Bei sent him to Wuling (now southwest of Hunan Province) to join the barbarians and help Shu cut Wu, which was highly valued by Liu Bei. Later, in the battle of Yiling, Liu Bei was defeated and Ma Liang was killed.
