Ma Zhong (Shu Han)
Ma Zhong (died 249),
courtesy name Dexin, originally named
Hu Du, was a Chinese military general and politician of the state of
Shu Han during the
Three Kingdoms period of China. After Liu Bei's death, he served under Zhuge Liang during the
Southern Campaign and helped to quell the rebellion. He was appointed as the area commander in the south after
Li Hui's death where he spends most of his life pacifying the region, often with the help of
Zhang Ni. Ma Zhong was known as generous and whimsical but also decisive in handling affairs. Hence the southern tribes both feared and respected him. His duty in the south could be comparable to
Wang Ping in the north and
Deng Zhi in the east. After his death, the foreigners sorely missed him and later established a temple in his honor.
