Biography

马总。
新唐书卷一百六十三 列传第八十八:
  马总,字会元,系出扶风。少孤窭,不妄交游。贞元中,辟署滑州姚南仲幕府,监军薛盈珍诬南仲不法,总坐贬泉州别驾。盈珍入用事,福建观察使柳冕希旨欲诛之,会刺史穆赞保护,乃免。徙恩王傅。
  元和中,以虔州刺史迁安南都护,廉清不挠,用儒术教其俗,政事嘉美,獠夷安之。建二铜柱于汉故处,镵著唐德,以明伏波之裔。徙桂管经略观察使,入为刑部侍郎。十二年,兼御史大夫,副裴度宣慰淮西。吴元济禽,为彰义节度留后。蔡人习伪恶,相掉讦,犷戾有夷貊风。总为设教令,明赏罚,磨治洗汰,其俗一变。始奏改彰义为淮西,寻擢拜淮西节度使,徙忠武,改华州防御、镇国军使。李师道平,析郓、曹、濮等为一道,除总节度,赐号天平军。
  长庆初,刘总上幽、镇地,诏总徙天平,而召揔还,将大用之。会总卒,穆宗以郓人附赖总,复诏还镇。二年,检校尚书左仆射,入为户部尚书。总笃学,虽吏事倥偬,书不去前,论著颇多。卒,赠右仆射,谥曰懿。
