Ma Liang (187-222), a native of Yicheng, Xiangyang (now the south of Yicheng, Hubei), was an official of Shu and Han in the Three Kingdoms period and the younger brother of Ma Su.
Ma Liang's five brothers are all very talented and famous, and Ma Liang is the best among them. Because the eyebrows have white hair, they are called white-browed horses. Therefore, it has the praise of "Ma Wuchang, bridled first".
When Liu Bei was in charge of Jingzhou, he began to show his capable ability, attached great importance to Sean's strength and talent, and left him in Jingzhou to assist Guan Yu, who also made meritorious military service repeatedly because of Sean's help.
Liu Bei took Ma Liang to attack Wu, and sent Ma Liang to gather troops. Ma Liang went to Wuling to woo, and many troops responded. But in the end, Liu Bei lost in this battle. Unfortunately, Ma Liang was assassinated. Liu Bei was also very sad when he learned that Ma Liang's son was appointed as the leader and such a talented counselor died unfortunately.
In the extended data novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Guan Yu crusaded against Wei, he took Yi Ji as his staff and marched together. Guan Yu was poisoned by an arrow in his arm, and the famous doctor Hua Tuo scraped the bone. Guan Yu and Ma Liang play chess. After the fall of Jingzhou, Guan Yu sent Ma Liang, Yi Ji and Wen Zhi to Chengdu for help.
In the battle of Yiling, Liu Bei, who was eager for revenge, attacked Wu and appointed Kyle to be in charge of the documents. Ma Liang dissuaded Liu Bei, but Sun Quan worshipped Lu Xun as the commander in chief. Ma Liang advised Liu Bei to be vigilant, but Liu Bei wouldn't listen.
Wu Jun failed to hold on, and Ma Liang thought that Wu Jun must be waiting for the change of the Shu army to take action. During this period, Ma Liang took a geographical map to consult Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang died in the southern expedition. Ma Su invited him to Zhong Jun, but when he saw a man in white, it was Ma Su. Ma Su mourned the death of his younger brother Ma Liangxin, which is different from historical records.
