Xin Ma Chao, a renowned general during the Three Kingdoms era.

In history, he was not a loyal and filial subject. Now, he is filial but far from loyal.

In history, it was said that he was ambitious and excelled in both civil and military affairs, and now he shamelessly admits to these two points. In history, he was not a fierce general, but a valiant warrior. Now, under his command, he has a hundred thousand iron cavalry from Xiliang and dominates the world.
